[外電] 小牛球員留隊的重要性排名 #6: Brandan Wright

[DM24Tim (黃金右腳)]

Brandan Wright is easily the most athletic big man the Dallas Mavericks have
put on the floor since ... well, Tyson Chandler. Wright, the Human Pogo Stick
or the Human Exclamation Point as a certain colleague of mine dubbed him this
season, brought a high level of energy and excitement -- and a higher level
of two-handed alley-oop slams -- as he earned more and more playing time.

Brandan Wright無庸置疑的是小牛自從Tyson Chandler以來運動
能力最好的球員，他本季的表現被封為是「人體彈簧高蹺」與「
人體驚嘆號」，他帶給球隊很多能量與刺激感，也讓大家見識到
另一個層次的雙手alley-oop，他的上場時間逐步增加。


The former lottery pick of the Golden State Warriors provided two areas that
the Mavs' sorely lacked and will look to gain more of this offseasaon --
youth, he's only 24, and athleticism. He's a high-motor big man who can run
the floor. He has soft hands and is an impeccable finisher around the rim
with a nice array of moves -- he boasted a team-best 61.8 shooting percentage.

這位被金州勇士挑中的第一輪球員有兩個小牛極需且是季末補強
重點的特質，年輕－他才24歲，與運動能力。他在場上展現出好
的運動能力，在籃框附近又有很柔軟的手感，並且靠著他傑出的
腳步讓他的禁區進攻幾乎無懈可擊。本季賴打的命中率是全隊最
高的61.8%。


The biggest issue with Wright is where he fits. His natural position is power
forward, but coach Rick Carslisle converted him to center because Dallas
obviously has Dirk Nowitzki entrenched there and at the time they believed
Lamar Odom would fill the bill when Nowitzki sat. At center, Wright started
out on the depth chart behind Brendan Haywood and Ian Mahinmi, but as the
season wore on the spindly-framed Wright at times logged more minutes than
the others.

最大的問題是賴打適合的位置，他是的天生的大前鋒，但是卡帥
把他定位為中鋒，因為小牛有不動的大前鋒Dirk Nowitzki，球隊
也相信Lamar Odom會在Dirk休息時捕上空缺。在中鋒這個位置上
賴打又排在Brendan Haywood與Ian Mahinmi之後，不過隨著球季
的進行，高高瘦瘦的賴打的上場時間慢慢超過了兩位正牌中鋒。


Until the playoffs.

直到季後賽。

And that's the conundrum with Wright. He hasn't developed a mid-range game to
be able to play power forward effectively in Dallas' offense and he's not
physically strong enough to consistently defend the center position. When he
got his brief chance to play in the first round against Oklahoma City he had
a serious case of butterfingers and the moment, the first playoff action of
his career, seemed a bit too big. He played a total of 26 minutes in the
series with a high of eight in the Game 3 blowout.

賴打遇到了難題，他的中距離能力不夠好，所以沒辦法在小牛的
攻擊體系裡打大前鋒，但他又不夠壯來長時間防守對方的中鋒。
他在季後賽第一輪對上雷霆時得到上場機會，但是奶油手的情況
相當嚴重，這是他第一次打季後賽，或許讓他難以負荷。他總共
只上場了26分鐘，在被打爆的第三戰上場的8分鐘是最多的一場。


But at less than $1 million last season and next (assuming the Mavs pick up
the team option), Wright is cheap, cheap labor and a talent worth trying to
develop for the long run. In fact, he could be a talent the Mavs must develop
for significant minutes next season because the center position at the moment
is in total chaos.

賴打今年與明年的合約都不到1M(假設小牛執行了球隊選擇權)，
這個價碼相當便宜，而且他還有發展的潛力。事實上，他可能會
是小牛明年更加倚重的球員，因為目前小牛的中鋒是一團混亂。


Haywood is a prime candidate for the amnesty provision and Mahinmi is a free
agent with no guarantee that he'll be back. Dallas won't dare go into the
regular season with Wright as its primary man to patrol the paint, but he
could certainly be relied upon to become a prime player.

黑霧是特赦條款的第一號人選，小馬成為自由球員且不確定是否
會續留。小牛不敢把他當成明年禁區的頭號戰將，但是他將會是
小牛依賴的球員，並且長成一位一流選手。

The Countdown winds down a second week with No. 6...

BRANDAN WRIGHT
Pos.: C/PF
Ht./Wt.: 6-foot-10, 210
Experience: 4 years
Age: 24 (Oct. 5, 1987)
2011-12 stats: 6.9 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 16.1 mpg, 49 G
Contract status: Team option for next season
2011-12 salary: $915,852
2012-13 salary: $947,907

His story: Perseverance has Wright on the right track to remove his name from
the long list of lottery busts and onto a more flattering one of productive
rotation players. Drafted eighth overall in 2007 by Charlotte and traded to
Golden State for Jason Richardson, Wright was buried on Don Nelson's bench
and then injured his shoulder during an October 2009 practice. Surgery
sidelined him the entire season and the next year the Warriors traded Wright
to the New Jersey Nets. In his first three seasons, Wright played in 114
games so the 49 he got in this season was something of a landmark, a
career-high he hopes to build upon. He's already been busy back in the gym,
proving it by tweeting pictures. "I worked really hard to get back where I
am," Wright said at the end of the season. "I'm blessed to have the
opportunity to heal up from those injuries. This is a process and you’ve got
to stick with it. When you start thinking like that (negatively), it's easy
to start slacking off with rehab or getting back to where you want to be."

不屈不撓的賴打甩掉了第一輪水貨的污名，並且成為一位討人
喜歡又有貢獻的輪替球員。他在2007年第8順位被山貓選中，然
後被交易到勇士換取Jason Richardson。賴打被Don Nelson冰
在板凳上，之後在2009年10月的練球時傷了他的左肩膀，手術
讓他缺席了接下來的球季，隔年勇士把他交易到籃網。他生涯
的前三季總共只打了114場比賽，這季的49場是個人紀錄，他也
希望能繼續突破。他已經回到體育館加緊練習了，並且把照片
上傳到推特。球季結束的時候他說："我努力了很久才回到賽場
上，我很感恩在受傷之後還有機會打球，你必須撐下去，當你
開始有負面的想法時，你很容易就無心復健，而再也找不回原
來的你。"

His outlook: Wright has to feel good that the Mavs will pick up his option
(it would certainly seem to be a no-brainer). The real question is whether
Carlisle will continue to try to mold him into a center or if power forward
can be an option now that Odom is out of the picture and Shawn Marion (if he
returns) might seem better off exclusively, or close to exclusively, at small
forward. Wright believes he can develop a consistent mid-range jumper that
could force defenses to extend out, providing the spacing the Mavs need to
operate their halfcourt sets. He also needs to add muscle to his 210-pound
frame (for a bit of reference, 6-5 guard Dominique Jones weighs 215 pounds)
so he can hold his ground defensively at either the 4 or 5. If he can do that
and sharpen his jumper, combined with his vertical jump and ability to finish
at the rim, Wright could eventually live up to his lottery-pick status.

賴打會對於小牛執行他明年的合約感到高興(目前看起來是無庸
置疑的)，真正的問題是卡帥會持續把他當作中鋒，或是在Odom
離隊且Shawn Marion看起來比較適合打小前鋒的狀況下去打大
前鋒的角色。賴打相信他能發展出穩定的中距離能力，讓防守
球員必須拉開防守圈，讓小牛的半場進攻打的更順暢。他也需
要吃的更壯，他才210磅(對照組－6呎5吋的Dominique Jones重
215磅)，這樣無法對抗對手四號與五號位的球員。如果他能變
壯並且練出跳投，加上他垂直起跳的能力與籃框附近的進攻能
力，賴打終究不會辜負他第一輪選秀權的身分。


週末休刊XD

Wright打的很讓人激賞，希望他能變的更強！
比DoJo還瘦真的太扯了......
