Making Room For Rudy
Rudy Fernandez is finally coming to Portland, and the Blazers are finally
putting the pieces together for next season. But how exactly does Rudy fit
into the plans in the Blazers backcourt?
Rudy終於來囉,拓荒者終於把下一季的拼圖都拼湊起來了,但Rudy該如何搭配拓荒者的後
場規劃勒?
After numerous recruiting visits from the Blazers front office – including
owner Paul Allen - over the past few months, Fernandez announced on Friday
that he's agreed to join Portland, a decision Fernandez admitted was not an
easy one by any means.
過去幾個月連Paul Allen都出動了,Rudy禮拜五做了一個很困難的決定。
"It wasn't an easy decision to take but it is the time for a new challenge
after a fantastic year with (DKV) Joventut," the 23-year-old shooting guard,
who plans to join the Blazers after the Olympic Games in Beijing this summer
, said.
“這是一個困難的決定,但該是時間去面對新的挑戰。” Rudy,23歲的SG,將在北京奧
運後加入拓荒者。
"They have pushed hard for me to join them and have assured me I will be an
important figure for them."
“他們非常積極的想要我加入,並保證我會成為球隊重要的一份子。”
The question now is will the "important figure" make the Blazers starting
five? Or does Fernandez join the likes of friend and countryman Sergio Rod-
riguez in the second unit, a role even Rodriguez had difficulty cracking for
head coach Nate McMillan? Then again, finding a role that fits Fernandez –
and the Blazers - best is one of several adjustments GM Kevin Pritchard and
head coach Nate McMillan will look to solve this offseason.
問題是重要的核心是指先發呢? 還是像他的同鄉麻吉Sergio一起當候補勒(同樣的Sergio
的定位也讓McMillan煩惱)? 如何找出最適合拓荒者和Rudy的角色,KP和McMillan得在這
休兵期間找出個解決方案。
Now with Fernandez available at shooting guard, does McMillan finally make
Brandon Roy the Blazers full-time starting point guard? Does Pritchard select
another point guard in the upcoming NBA Draft, or shop the free agent market
for a floor general?
當有了Rudy當SG,McMillan會不會把Roy拿去當全職的PG勒?還是KP在選秀時選另外一個球
員或在自由市場上找一個?
Obviously, Portland will be better off with Fernandez, a two guard who has
a shelf full of MVP trophies and continues to draw comparisons to the San
Antonio Spurs Manu Ginobili, than without him. And although many of the back-
court and roster dilemmas in Portland will play themselves out in the coming
months as player pieces begin fall into place, Fernandez' arrival certainly
creates a ripple effect on the rest of the team.
明顯的,拓荒者有Rudy一定比沒有好,一個拿過滿架子MVP和被譽為跟Ginobili媲美的得
分後衛。而拓荒者的陣容和輪替上的兩難也將在未來幾個月之內會有自己的解決方法,
Rudy的到來對於球隊的其他人的確掀起了一些波瀾。
James Jones– an unrestricted free agent and perhaps one of the most integral
members of the Blazers last season – has a choice to make about returning
to Portland this offseason.
JJ也許是上季最能融入拓荒者的球員,在休假回到波特蘭前,有選擇成為不受限制的自由
球員
With Portland already crammed at small forward with Travis Outlaw and Martell
Webster, the addition of Fernandez could have a bearing on his decision.
Jones (8 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 44% 3pt fg) was troubled by a knee injury for the
majority of last season and appeared in only 58 games, but when healthy and
on the court the sharpshooter made every minute and shot count. Knowing
Portland's obsession with getting older instead of younger, losing Jones
to free agency would be a major loss in the locker room and on the floor.
當拓荒者的小前鋒人才”擠擠”(outlaw + webster),加上Rudy,關係到他的決定。
Jones上一季在最重要的期間因為膝蓋傷缺席,最後出場了58場,但當健康在場上時,卻
是個靠著少量出手的神射手。了解到拓荒者未來需要更多老手,失去Jones對於更衣室裡
和球場上將會是一個重大的損失。
Martell Webster is also sure to have his role re-adjusted.
Webster也得對他的角色重新調整
Throughout all of last season, it was more common than not to have McMillan
and his coaching staff to ask for more consistent scoring from Webster. Yet
the jury is still out if the Blazers liked what they saw. Did Webster really
improve? Was he aggressive enough going to the hoop when he put the ball
on the floor? His numbers were up (10.7 ppg., 38% 3pt fg) and so were his
minutes (28.4 in 70 starts), but will that be the case next season?
綜觀上季,雖然漸漸習慣看不到McMillan要求他持續得分。但目前還沒有結論,是否評估
委員滿意他們所觀察到的。他真的進步了嗎?當他在場上拿到球是否具有足夠的侵略性?他
的數據上升了,但同樣的上場時間也上升了。這在下季還是見到嗎?
Webster – who has been rumored to be on the block in Portland – may be
the odd man out at small forward, especially considering how crucial Travis
Outlaw was to the Blazers success last season and knowing the supporting
minutes behind Roy may not be there anymore.
Webster謠傳在交易名單中,可能是多餘的小前鋒,尤其相較於上季outlaw對球隊關鍵時
刻的成功貢獻,以及思考到未來不存在需要支援Roy不在場上的時間。
Jarrett Jack will also fill some ill effects with a new guard in town.
Jack也瀰漫著一股衰氣,當這新後衛的到來。
Jack is no stranger to trade talks, and last season was rumored to land in
Cleveland or New Jersey at February's trade deadline. After sharing time with
Steve Blake and Segrio Rodriguez in the Blazers backcourt, Jack often found
himself watching from the sidelines in the fourth quarter while McMillan
opted for placing the ball in Brandon Roy's hands. McMillan has already
admitted he isn't opposed to having Roy run the point more often next season.
Couple this with Fernandez' recent arrival - and belief that the Spaniard
could even soak up minutes running the point now and again - and Jack's days
in Portland could be coming to an end.
Jack在交易談判上不再是搶手貨,上一季二月在交易大限前傳聞交易到騎士或籃網。在和
Blake和sergio分擔後場的上場時間,Jack發現McMillan寧願選擇把球交給Roy,McMillan
也承認下一季Roy不會常常是負責得分。結合Rudy的到來,Jack在波特蘭已經是大限之期
不遠已。
Portland now finds themselves in a high stakes poker game with plenty of
chips to work with.
拓荒者現在則是有滿手的好牌可以打。
They have some players available to move if needed (read: Webster, Jack, and
perhaps even Channing Frye), and four draft picks (13, 33, 36, 55) to use as
liquid assets. The rest of June and surely July will bring more changes for
the organization, but for now there is a true excitement around Portland
with Rudy Fernandez named the newest member of the Blazers.
拓荒者有些全員在必要時可以交易(Webster, Jack, Frye),同時有四個選秀籤。在六月
剩下的日子和七月裡可以做更多的組織更動,但目前最令人興奮的還是Rudy成為拓荒者新
的一員。
Let the chips fall where they may.
就讓這些球員找到適合他們的位置吧。
