[外電] 小牛球員留隊的重要性排名 #11:Brendan Haywood

[DM24Tim (黃金右腳)]

Every athlete should have it as good as Brendan Haywood. Eleven seasons into
a serviceable, yet hardly spectacular career, the 7-footer out of North
Carolina has already pocketed some $44 million in career earnings. At a time
when some 32-year-old vets are wondering if they've got another payday
coming, Haywood is locked into a generous deal afforded by owner Mark Cuban
for three more seasons that will take his career earnings north of $72
million.

很多運動員跟Brendan Haywood一樣，打了11的球季，卻沒有
太突出的表現，這位來自北卡的七呎長人生涯已經賺了超過
44M，有些32歲的球員或許還在為下一份合約努力，而Cuban
與黑霧簽下的大約保證了他剩下三年的薪水，並會讓他的生
涯薪資總額來到72M。


It's a good living if you can get it.

如果黑霧能順利拿到這筆錢的話，他的下半輩子就不愁吃穿了。


Yet, for that kind of dough the Dallas Mavericks might have expected more
than 3.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 15.3 minutes -- with perhaps a hard foul
thrown in along the way -- during four playoff losses to the Oklahoma City
Thunder. The irony is that the Thunder were considered the favored
first-round opponent over the massive front line of the Los Angeles Lakers
that would pit Haywood on Andrew Bynum.

但是小牛一定對他在季後賽對上雷霆平均上場15.3分鐘只拿下
3.3分3.3籃板的表現有更高的期待，或許至少可以凶狠的犯個
規。諷刺的是，在內線球員這個方面，對上雷霆已經比對上湖
人的Andrew Bynum容易多了。


Haywood couldn't stay on the floor against OKC's Kendrick Perkins, who scored
13 points in Game 2 and averaged 7.7 rebounds in 27.3 minutes a game before
leaving early in Game 4 with a hip injury. In those first three games,
Haywood played a total of 36 minutes, shot 3-of-11 from the floor and had
nine rebounds.

黑霧沒辦法在場上與Kendrick Perkins抗衡，Perkins在第二戰
攻下13分，他在第四戰因為臀部拉傷退場，仍然在27.3分鐘的上
場時間裡抓下7.7個籃板。而黑霧在前三戰總共只上場36分鐘，
投11中3並抓下9個籃板。


Go back to the series before that, yes, the NBA Finals. Haywood injured his
hip in Game 2 and didn't play the rest of the way as Dallas secured the title
in six games.

回顧前一個系列賽，也就是去年的NBA總冠軍戰，黑霧在第二戰
拉傷了臀部，之後就沒什麼上場，最後小牛在第六戰淘汰熱火。


Haywood twisted an ankle and sprained a knee late this season and maybe those
ailments had something to do with his ineffective play. Perkins even
suggested prior to Game 4 that something must be bothering the Mavs' big man.

黑霧在季末扭傷了腳踝又拉傷了膝蓋，也許這些傷勢對他造成影
響，Perkins甚至在第四戰之前說黑霧或許是受到傷勢的困擾。


Since his arrival in February 2010 when Haywood started on a double-double
roll, invoking praise by some as "best center in Mavs history," to OKC's
first-round rough-up, his popularity among fans has hit an all-time low.

在黑霧於2010年二月加入小牛之後，他一度連續好幾場拿下雙十，
讓大家認為他或許是小牛隊史的最佳中鋒。在今年第一輪草草結束
之後，他在球迷心目中的地位已經來到了生涯的最低點。


And now, thanks to the amnesty clause negotiated into the new collective
bargaining agreement, Haywood's future in Dallas is certainly in doubt.

現在多虧了新的特赦條款，球隊有機會省下一大筆錢，因此黑霧
的小牛生涯也充滿不確定性。


The Countdown rolls on at No. 11 ...

BRENDAN HAYWOOD
Pos: C
Ht/Wt: 7-0, 263
Experience: 11 years
Age: 32 (Nov. 27, 1979)
2011-12 stats: 5.2 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 21.2 mpg
Contract status: Signed through 2014-15
2011-12 salary: $7.6 million
2012-13 salary: $8.3 million 

His story: In hindsight, the handsome, five-year contract (the sixth year is
non-guaranteed) the Mavs handed Haywood following the 2009-10 season doesn't
look so great. Of course, when Dallas did the deal it didn't know that a few
weeks later Tyson Chandler would land in its lap via a trade with the
Charlotte Bobcats. Haywood took Rick Carlisle's early offseason promise that
he would take over as the starting center with Erick Dampier on his way out.
Except Dampier's expiring contract turned into a resurgent Chandler, who came
off a successful Team USA stint and instantly changed those starting plans.
The Mavs will point to their defensive statistics this season as proof that
Chandler wasn't missed as some would have thought. Others will point to
athleticism, attitude, leadership and a stretch from March 2 through May 5 in
which Haywood managed one double-digit scoring game and averaged 4.2 rebounds
as proof that the Mavs took a significant dip at the center position.

事後回來看，小牛與黑霧在2010年之後簽下的五年合約(第六年
非保證約)似乎沒那麼好。當然小牛不知道幾個禮拜以後他們就
從山貓交易來了Tyson Chandler。卡帥在剛放暑假時保證在Erick
Dampier合約到期離開之後，黑霧會是先發中鋒。但在Chandler
的到來並且在美國夢幻隊打出了漂亮的成績之後計畫生變。小牛
今年的防守數據證明了少了拳王並沒有大家想像的差那麼多，差
的主要是運動能力，比賽態度與領導能力，看看黑霧在3月2日到
5月5日這兩個多月只有一次得分破10，平均只有4.2籃板，就知
道小牛在中鋒這個位置有很大的問題。


His outlook: This is where things get interesting. If the Mavs are to sign
Deron Williams in July, they will have to amnesty a player to help create the
appropriate cap space to offer a max deal. There are two amnesty candidates,
Shawn Marion and Haywood, but Marion figured to be the leading candidate if
only because it is so difficult to find a 7-foot center to plug into the
starting lineup. But, as the season wore on and as Haywood's floor time
dwindled in the playoffs, plus with Marion having a fine season --
particularly as a defensive stopper -- speculation raged that Haywood has
taken the amnesty lead. Haywood even said during an appearance on ESPN Dallas
103.3 FM's Ben & Skin Show that he would not be offended if the team does cut
ties. And why should he? The Mavs will still owe him the $28 million
remaining on his contract and he'll pad it a bit more from whichever team
should get him next.

有趣的是，如果小牛想要簽下Deron Williams，他們就要動用特
赦條款來清出薪資以開出最大的合約。有兩個特赦的候選名單，
就是黑霧跟Marion，Marion是比較可能的人選，因為七呎的先發
中鋒不是那麼好找。但是整季看下來在加上黑霧在季後賽逐漸退
出輪值，而且Marion本季表現也不差，尤其是防守做的很好。大
家開始猜測黑霧已經成為被特赦的頭號可能，黑霧甚至在ESPN的
節目中表示他如果被球隊特赦不會感到不高興。他當然不會，小
牛還要付28M給他，他或許還能在其他球隊拿到一筆錢。
