San Antonio Spurs: Where in the world is DeMarre Carroll?

聖安東尼奧馬刺：DeMarre Carroll到哪兒去了？

DeMarre Carroll signed a two-year deal with the San Antonio Spurs this summer
but hasn’t played yet. When will we see the veteran forward finally take the
floor for the Spurs?

今年夏天 DeMarre Carroll(以下簡稱：卡洛）跟馬刺簽了一張2年合約。
但目前仍舊沒看到卡洛在正式賽登場。揪竟～到底何時能看他出現在場上呢？

When the San Antonio Spurs brought in DeMarre Carroll on a two-year deal over
the summer it was viewed by many as a low risk, smart move. Carroll is a
seasoned veteran who’s played in more than a few big games over the course
of his career. He has the kind of skills that the Spurs were looking for and
fit a position of need on the team. He even had a distant affiliation with
the organization thanks to his time playing for former Spurs assistant and
current Milwaukee Bucks head coach, Mike Budenholzer.

當馬刺以2年合約簽下卡洛時，不少人都認為這是相對低風險的好棋。
卡洛是一名經驗豐富的大賽型老將，且具備馬刺體系的技能。
更甚者，卡洛跟現職公鹿隊教練 MikeB 一直保持良好的聯繫。

Yet through three games, we have yet to see Carroll take the floor for San
Antonio. It’s sort of a puzzling move. Carroll saw action in four of the
Spurs five preseason games and looked comfortable with his new teammates in
the limited action. Is he simply a victim of circumstance or is there
something larger going on here?

然而，經過三場比賽，我們有點不解卡洛為什麼還沒上場。
卡洛在馬刺的五場季前賽中有四場表現出色。
並且在有限的比賽中他的新隊友都表現很滿意。
那麼...卡洛是新環境的受害者？還是馬刺隊內發生大事了？

Limited playing time was always going to be in the cards for Carroll. He was
coming to one of the deepest teams in the league and has several established
players in front of him in the rotation. Carroll was always going to be
behind LaMarcus Aldridge, Jakob Poeltl, and Rudy Gay for playing time but the
emergence of Trey Lyles has created an even bigger log jam than was
originally predicted.

在有限的比賽時間發揮一直是卡洛的特色。
卡洛處於聯盟中輪替最深球隊之一，但目前馬刺輪換陣容中有幾位老牌球員。
卡洛在上場時間上落後於 AGG 、 Porltl 、 Gay 是可以理解的。
但 Lyles 的出現似乎與預測情況有些不同了。

Lyles was another low risk, potentially high reward signing. So far the early
returns have been great. Lyles’s teammates have raved about his performance
on the floor and the proof of his fit is in the numbers. San Antonio has a
+7.3 net rating when Lyles is on the floor compared to just +.6 when he is
off. It’s only three games so it’s a very small sample size but Lyles’s
willingness to do the little things and help out his teammates is endearing
him among the players and helping the Spurs on the floor.

Lyles 則是另一個低風險，潛在高回報的簽約。
而就目前為止，回報是巨大的。Lyles 的隊友對他在場上的表現贊不絕口。
當 Lyles 在場上時，馬刺淨得分為+7.3；而當離場時，馬刺淨得分僅剩下+0.6。
不過目前僅有3場比賽，樣本數很小。
但 Lyles 願意做苦工並幫助隊友使他在球員中很受喜愛，使他有較充分時間在場上。

The other player standing in Carroll’s way of meaningful playing time is
Marco Belinelli. Spurs fans will rage every time Gregg Popovich elects to
play Belinelli over Lonnie Walker but Walker isn’t the only player being
stonewalled by Marco’s presence. Carroll could feasibly fit in at the back
up small forward role but for now, that seems to be a position where Pop
would prefer to use Belinelli.

另一個分散卡洛上場時間的則是 Marco...(迷之因：不...怎麼會是你?)
每次當 Popo 在 Marco 跟 走路草 選擇時，馬刺球迷都會大怒。
顯然的，走路草並不是唯一被 Marco 耽誤的球員。
卡洛較適合擔任替補小前鋒。
但就目前而言，Popo 對於 Marco 的愛不是我們所能想像的。

Maybe it all comes down to trust. Pop and Belinelli have history from Marco’
s previous time with the Spurs. You have to earn Pop’s trust to have an
established place in the rotation and Marco has it. Spurs fans can complain
on Twitter all they want and believe me they will, Pop doesn’t look like he’
s going away from Marco any time soon.

也許這一切都因為 Marco 有 Popo 裸照。不好意思，我說錯了是信任。
Marco 是馬刺有經驗老兵。必須贏得Pop的信任，才能有穩定的輪替時間。
馬刺球迷可以在推特抱怨他們想要的一切。
不過 Popo 看起來不會這麼快就離開 Marco 的懷抱。

Carroll’s talents could be called upon soon. The upcoming matchup with the
LA Clippers could be the perfect time to bring him into the fold. Carroll’s
made his career on his defensive abilities and between Kawhi Leonard, Patrick
Patterson, JaMychal Green, and Montrezl Harrell the Clippers have plenty of
strong forwards who will need to be contained in order for San Antonio to
come away with a win.

卡洛的才能相信很快能夠上場。即將與快艇隊客場的比賽可能是他的最佳時機。
卡洛的防守能力成就了他的職業生涯。
快艇隊有許多強大的前鋒（容我跳過不唱名QQ）。反正就是要卡洛上來守就對了。

It’s doubtful that it’s anything larger than a log jam that’s keeping
Carroll off the floor. There are simply too many players that Gregg Popovich
would rather play in front of him at the moment. That could change in an
instant though. Especially if San Antonio’s defensive struggles continue.

令人懷疑的是，馬刺隊現在有太多新人要在 Popo 面前發揮，這也讓卡洛上場機會
大減。總之，這需要點時間，如果卡洛能夠再這種環境下生存。

Improving on the defensive end of the floor was a major point of emphasis
coming into this season. Through three games the Spurs are clearly still far
away from being where they need to be in order to make some noise in the
Western Conference. They simply cannot continue to give up around 114 points
per game and expect to be successful. If the defensive struggles continue it
wouldn’t be surprising to see Popovich turn to Carroll as a way to turn
things around.

在本賽季的防守表現依舊是馬刺的重點。
經過3場比賽，馬刺的表現跟現在的排名，其實還差得遠。
每場114的失分，這種防守比紙糊還慘。
如果防守再如此破爛下去，Popo 就有可能把卡洛放上場了。

Carroll’s time will come. You don’t bring in an established veteran like
him and plop him on the pine for 82 games. Gregg Popovich knows what he is
doing and will bring Carroll out when the time is right. Until then Spurs
fans, and Carroll will just have to wait.

你沒辦法期待82場都能看到他上場，但屬於卡洛的時間很快就會到來。
Popo 會找到卡洛的說明書，並將他放到對的時間、對的位置。
馬刺球迷跟卡洛能做的也只有等了...

應該很多人跟我一樣好奇怎麼都沒看到卡洛上場，希望這篇外電有幫大家解惑。
