CAVS AND WARRIORS: HOW THEY WERE BUILT http://tinyurl.com/q4qmpl2
The Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors reached The Finals in very
different ways.
騎士跟勇士分別以不同的方式打進了總冠軍賽
After making major changes last summer, the Cavs struggled out of the gate
and made more changes in early January. Dion Waiters was sent to Oklahoma
City. Timofey Mozgov was acquired from Denver, while Iman Shumpert and J.R.
Smith were brought in from New York.
在騎士去年夏天做出主要改變後, 今年一月他們又做出更多改變讓球隊脫胎換骨, 先是
把Waiters送去雷霆, 再把Mozgov從金塊找來, 最後再添上從尼克來的兩塊拼圖: J.R.
跟Shumpert
In comparison, the Warriors have been rather stable. Like the Cavs, they made
a coaching change a year ago. But while only 39 percent of the Cavs’
regular-season minutes were played by guys who were on the roster last
season, that number was 82 percent for Golden State. And the Warriors were
the best team in the league from start to finish, making only a minor change
to their roster (swapping Nemanja Nedovic for James Michael McAdoo).
相較之下勇士就顯得穩定多了, 跟騎士一樣勇士去年夏天先換了總教練, 但騎士上季陣
容只有39%本季有留下來, 勇士卻留下了82%的上季球員, 勇士並且是本季常規賽從頭到
尾戰績最好的球隊, 陣容上只做了個小小的改變(把Nedovic拿去換McAdoo)
Still, if you look at the Warriors’ roster construction, it’s as much a mix
of players acquired via the Draft, free agency, and trades as the Cavs’
roster is.
此外, 勇士的球員組成看起來是跟騎士差不多的
勇士：交易20% (3位), 選秀40% (6位), 自由球員40% (6位)....圖請點連結
騎士：交易33% (5位), 選秀27% (4位), 自由球員40% (6位)....圖請點連結
But the Warriors’ mix isn’t so even when you consider who’s getting
minutes in the postseason. Steve Kerr is leaning heavily on the guys the
Warriors drafted over the years.
但若考慮到季後賽每人上場時間, 你就會發現Kerr很倚重勇士選秀得來的球員
勇士：交易23%, 選秀63%, 自由球員14%....圖請點連結
　　騎士：交易39%, 選秀27%, 自由球員34%....圖請點連結
Only two of the six guys the Warriors acquired via free agency – Leandro
Barbosa and Shaun Livingston – are in their playoff rotation. And those guys
rank seventh and eighth in minutes played. Their top four guys in minutes –
Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes – all came
via the Draft.
勇士經由交易得來的6名球員, 只有Barbosa跟Livingston出現在Kerr的季後賽布陣中,
這兩位球員也分別有第七跟第八多的上場時間, 至於前四多上場時間的球員: Curry,
追夢綠, K湯跟Barnes, 都是經由選秀得來的球員
The Cavs’ minutes pie leans more toward trade than free agency because
Shumpert, Mozgov and Smith all rank in the top six in minutes, while Shawn
Marion, Mike Miller and Kendrick Perkins aren’t in the rotation.
The contrast between the two teams is even bigger when we look at playoff
production, as measured by the efficiency statistic.
Efficiency = PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK – TO – Missed FGA – Missed FTA
而騎士較為倚重交易來的球員是因為Shumpert, Mozgov跟JR都排在前六多上場時間, 而
Marion, MM跟Perkins沒被放上場的緣故, 而以效率值來看,
　　勇士：交易23%, 選秀67%, 自由球員11%
　　騎士：交易37%, 選秀27%, 自由球員36%
This is a copycat league at times, but there’s no definitive way to build
your roster. For the Warriors, it’s been about the Draft. For the Cavs, it’
s been about the best player in the world looking to come home, as well as
some clever moves made in January.
NBA有時是個愛模仿的連盟, 但卻沒有一個組建陣容不變的方式, 勇士靠的是選秀, 騎士
則因為現今地表上最強的籃球員想回家跟一月那些聰明的交易而獲得成功
