馬努退役 德羅贊能帶馬刺走多遠?!
吉諾比利的退役宣告着馬刺三駕馬車時代正式結束。一個分衛離開，就會有另一個到來，不管初心如何，德羅贊已然來到馬刺，等着他的是重重挑戰！
DeMar DeRozan didn't ask to be in San Antonio; he didn't plan to be, either. But it's his reality now, after Kawhi Leonard, who was supposed to be the next San Antonio great, started charting a path elsewhere. Now it's DeRozan who will have to carry the burden of being the franchise's lead option following dynastic success.
德瑪爾·德羅贊並沒有要求過加入馬刺隊，也沒有這個打算。然而在被看作聖安東尼奧下一個超巨的卡哇伊·萊昂納德去往別處開始新生涯後，一切成爲了現實。現在德羅贊將肩負球隊第一人的重擔延續馬刺王朝的成功。Before DeRozan even steps on the court, there's pressure to fill not just the void of the player he was traded for—Kawhi Leonard—but also that of the past Spurs greats like Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Ginobili himself. It's an impossible hill to climb.
在德羅贊甚至還沒步入球場前，他就充滿了壓力，不僅來自萊昂納德交換他後球隊人員的空缺，也來自馬刺隊過去的衆多偉大球星像蒂姆·鄧肯、託尼·帕克以及吉諾比利。這是一座難以逾越的高山。Last year, in DeRozan's ninth season in the league, he shot a career-high 3.6 3s per game but made just 31 percent of them. It's not an indictment; it's a matter of fact. This is who DeRozan is, a proficient scorer in spite of the revolution around him. Now that he finds himself in San Antonio, it might just be the most Spurs thing about him.
去年，是德羅贊在聯盟的第九個賽季，他場均出手生涯新高的3.6次三分球，但命中率僅有百分之三十一。這並不是控訴，只是陳述事實。這就是德羅贊，一個不管別人球風怎樣變革的熟練得分手。既然已經來到聖安東尼奧，這將可能是他身上最“馬刺”的事。
Without any of their cornerstones, the Spurs will have to find a way to build and enhance the roster around DeRozan—who is the closest they have to a star. It's a different world, one where DeRozan is their best player, and the rest of the team surrounding him won't do him and his style any favors.
由於沒有任何其他基石，馬刺將不得不圍繞德羅贊建隊，畢竟他是所擁有的球員中最接近球星的一個。這是一個不同的世界，在這兒德羅贊是他們最好的球員，並且圍繞他的其他球員給不了他和他的球風任何幫助。
DeRozan thrives in pick-and-rolls and will need to use Aldridge's screening and spacing talents to his benefit. This will put Aldridge, who is still an offensive force in the post who can average 20 points per game, in a position to be a cog more so than a feature. Giving them both the best opportunity to thrive will be paramount to their chemistry and success.
德羅贊得益於擋拆戰術，將需要依靠阿爾德里奇的掩護和空間天賦來實現他的能力。這將使得過去場均20多分的進攻火力點阿爾德里奇不再是重點，而是起齒輪一樣的齧合作用。給他們兩個最好的機會去成長將對他們的化學反應和成功至關重要。DeRozan may not quite reach his predecessor's level on either end of the court, but, still, he'll give the Spurs their best shot at renewal for the time being.
德羅贊或許在攻防兩端都達不到前任球員（萊昂納德）的水平，但是目前來說他仍是馬刺復興路上的最佳得分手。The catch is that even if DeRozan succeeds, even if working with the Spurs' coaches nets him a better 3-point shot, he'll be overshadowed both by the Spurs legends that came before him and the fact it'll be easy to praise Pop and the Spurs' system for making something memorable from a less-than-ideal roster.
問題是即使德羅贊成功了，即使在馬刺教練組幫助下他有了更好的三分能力，他的成績也會被遮蓋，一方面來自他之前的馬刺傳奇球星，另一方面是人們很容易認爲把一個不太理想的球員打造得令人難忘是波波維奇以及馬刺體系的功勞。That's just what they do. And it's why, despite all this player turnover, it's impossible to doubt Pop even when the Spurs' ceiling seems clear.
這就是馬刺團隊乾的事情。這也是爲什麼，儘管有這麼多球員更替，儘管馬刺上限看起來似乎很清楚，也絕對不會懷疑波波維奇。更多精彩內容請關注微信公衆號、新浪微博：籃球英文堂
