Neil Olshey: Lillard, McCollum, Covington, Nurkic 'Absolutely' Returning to
Blazers
The Portland Trail Blazers lost in the first round for the second straight
season and fourth time in the last five years, but general manager Neil
Olshey said at least four starters are "absolutely" returning for 2021-22.
阿拓連兩季在首輪失利，奧總說下季至少會有四名先發回歸(留隊)
"We've got 80 percent of our starting lineup under contract and returning
absolutely," he told reporters Monday.
Olshey was talking about Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, Jusuf Nurkic and Robert
Covington with his comments.
我們先發陣容已經完成80%了
小李、CJ、Nurk跟Roco四個先發在下個賽季"絕對"回歸
There will be at least one significant change after the Trail Blazers and
head coach Terry Stotts parted ways, but it is difficult to envision
significant success in the daunting Western Conference if Portland largely
runs things back after another postseason exit.
Building around Lillard is obvious. The 30-year-old is one of the best
players in the entire league as someone who can take over games at a moment's
notice and torch opponents from well beyond the arc or attack the basket.
圍繞小李建隊的方針是顯而易見的，他是聯盟中最好的球員之一，可投三分可攻擊籃框
Yet it was clear during the first-round exit against the Denver Nuggets that
the supporting cast may need to change.
然而在首輪對陣金塊中敗陣下來，代表陣容可能需要改變
After all, Lillard had 42 points in a Game 2 loss, 37 points in a Game 3 loss
and 55 points in a Game 5 loss. It was that Game 5 that stood out the most,
as he drilled three-pointers to force overtime and double overtime while
willing his team in every way possible, just for Portland to still come up
short.
Building the team around Lillard and McCollum did work in 2019 when the Trail
Blazers went to the Western Conference Finals, but even that squad had no
chance during a sweep to the powerhouse Golden State Warriors.
圍繞著小李跟CJ的建隊模式成功奏效，在2019年衝擊了西冠，儘管如此仍被勇士橫掃
There may not be many changes in the immediate future to challenge
championship-contending teams like that if Olshey's comments are any
indication.
如果真如奧總所述，阿拓近期內將無法成為冠軍競爭者
