He expresses frustrations that rai se concerns about the relationship with the organization that employs him, and m akes his discontent quite clear. The pressure builds. A deal eventually goes dow n. Wash, rinse and repeat: That’s the formula in today’s NBA. 当事球员——在这里是灰熊的Ja Morant——揭开了球队内部混乱状况的帷幕。他表达了对 球团的不满，引发外界对他与球队关系的疑虑，并明确展现出自己的不快。压力逐渐累积， 交易最终发生。重复上演——这就是现今NBA的剧本。 Yet before we all go running to John Hollinger’s trade machine to figure out wh ere Morant might be headed next, let’s hit the “back” button for a moment and acknowledge the fact that this isn’t quite as simple as it might seem. For sta rters, the Grizzlies — like every small market team in the 76-year history of t he league — must think long and hard about the prospect of parting ways with a player who is still widely considered to be an elite talent. Add in the fact tha t they still haven’t finalized a lease agreement for FedEx Forum past the 2028- 29 season, with negotiations having been drawn out and the threat of relocation always looming, and you start to understand why this is bigger than just basketb all. 但在大家急着打开John Hollinger的交易模拟器、猜测Morant下一站会是哪里之前，让我们 先按下「返回键」，承认这件事并不像看起来那麽简单。首先，灰熊——就像联盟76年历史 中所有小市场球队一样——必须深思熟虑，是否要与仍被视为顶尖天赋的球星分道扬镳。再 加上球队至今尚未确定2028–29赛季之後的FedEx Forum租约，谈判一再拖延、迁队威胁始 终存在，你就能明白这件事远不只是篮球问题。 Even with all the controversies that have surrounded Morant in recent years, wit h the steady stream of suspensions and health problems undercutting this once-pr omising era, he remains a wildly popular and entertaining player who puts butts in their seats. The Grizzlies already ranked near the bottom of the league in ho me attendance in recent years, but just imagine how grim it might look if they d idn’t get a legitimate box office draw in exchange for Morant. That sort of dea l just isn’t happening anytime soon, in part because there are no indications t hat Memphis wants to move him, but also because they’re (extremely) light on le verage at the moment. 即使Morant近年争议不断，禁赛与伤病削弱了这个原本充满希望的时代，他仍是能吸引观众 、极具娱乐性的超人气球员。灰熊队近年主场出席率本就偏低，试想若他们在交易中没换回 一位具票房号召力的球星，场面会有多惨淡。这样的交易短期内根本不可能发生，一方面因 为没有迹象显示灰熊想交易他，另一方面则是球队目前在谈判上几乎毫无筹码。 It’s one thing to trade Desmond Bane to Orlando at the height of his powers for two rotation players, four unprotected first-round picks and a first-round pick swap, like general manager Zack Kleiman did in June. It’s quite another to giv e away your most dynamic player during this time when the sharks, i.e. rival tea ms, are most certainly circling. 像总经理Zack Kleiman在六月那样，把正值巅峰的Desmond Bane交易到奥兰多、换回两名轮 替球员、四个无保护首轮签与一个首轮互换权，这是一回事；但在如今各队都在伺机而动的 情况下，送走你阵中最具爆发力的球星，那可是完全不同的层级。 Which brings us back to the strategic staring contest at hand. 这就让我们回到目前这场策略性的对峙。 In the wake of Morant’s “ask the coaching staff” media session on Friday nigh t which led to his one-game suspension by the team, coach Tuomas Iisalo discusse d the very offensive system that has caused his point guard (and other Grizzlies as well) so much angst of late. The Finnish coach, who has been celebrated for his innovative success with Paris Basketball, and whose arrival in Memphis as a well-paid assistant two summers ago led to the stunning replacement of longtime head coach Taylor Jenkins in late March, didn’t fully implement his preferred o ffensive system until this season. He wants pace from beginning to end (the Griz zlies are currently seventh in that department). He wants high intensity from ev ery player during every stretch, all in an attempt to maximize impact and minimi ze risk. When it comes to his rotations, that means there will be a hectic sched ule of sorts — no matter who you are — that is seen as a necessary means to th is end. 在Morant於周五晚间的媒体访谈中抛出「去问教练团」的言论、并因此被球队禁赛一场後， 教练Tuomas Iisalo谈到了那套近期令Morant（以及其他灰熊球员）相当不满的进攻体系。 这位曾因执教巴黎篮球队的创新成功而受赞誉的芬兰籍教练，於两年前以助理身分高薪加入 曼菲斯，最终在三月底取代了长期执教的Taylor Jenkins，不过他直到本季才真正全面实施 自己的进攻理念。他希望球队从头到尾都保持节奏（灰熊目前在这项数据中排名第七），希 望所有球员在每一个阶段都全力以赴，藉此最大化影响力并降低风险。至於轮换，他采取的 是高度流动的方式——无论你是谁——这被视为达成目标的必要手段。 Quite remarkably, Morant’s minutes mark (29.4 per game) is a career-low pace fo r him as well as a team high. Eleven players are averaging double-digit minutes — 12 if you count Charles Bassey and his one game. There’s a committee approac h happening here that is clearly causing a bit of culture shock. 值得注意的是，Morant场均29.4分钟，这既是他生涯新低，也是球队最高。共有十一名球员 场均出赛时间达两位数——若算上只打过一场的Charles Bassey则是十二人。这种「委员会 式」的分配模式，显然带来了一些文化冲击。 This all sounds well and good on paper, and perhaps it will be the new norm one day in the Association. But as other international coaches have learned the hard way before, the NBA might as well stand for Nothing-But-Alphas when it comes to the egos that must be managed in times like these. And the problem, it seems, i s that Morant is the kind of creative hoops artist who clearly struggles to be h imself within this kind of structure. 这样的系统听起来不错，也许有朝一日会成为联盟新常态。但正如其他外籍教练学到的惨痛 教训，NBA几乎可说是「Nothing-But-Alphas（尽是大哥）」的缩写——在这种环境下，如 何照顾球星的自尊是一门极难的学问。而问题在於，Morant正是一位极具创造力的篮球艺术 家，他显然难以在如此僵化的结构中做自己。 While the up-tempo approach certainly fits his skill set, the shorter playing st ints and rigid routine have led to some of the worst basketball of his career du ring the early days of this season (the Grizzlies are 3-5). He’s averaging just 20.4 points (his lowest total since his 2020-21 season) while shooting just 39. 3 percent overall (career low) and a putrid 13.9 percent from 3 (5-of-36). 虽然快节奏打法确实契合他的技术特质，但缩短的上场时间与僵硬的轮替制度，使他在本季 初期打出职业生涯最挣扎的表现之一（灰熊战绩为3胜5败）。他场均仅得20.4分（自2020– 21赛季以来最低），投篮命中率仅39.3%（生涯新低），三分命中率更惨至13.9%（36投中5 ）。 No one, in other words, should be surprised that he isn’t feeling all that joyf ul at work these days. 换言之，他这阵子在球场上显得意兴阑珊，一点也不令人意外。 Yet while Morant’s decline has been alarming, there’s another strange trend em erging that, at first glance, doesn’t reflect the way these Grizzlies were buil t: The de-emphasis of their Morant-Jaren Jackson Jr. dynamic duo. In the four se asons together in which Morant and Jackson Jr. have been healthy at the same tim e, they never averaged fewer than 17.8 minutes per game of time together on the court (with a high of 21.4 last season). Yet through seven games together this t ime around, they’ve averaged just 15.3 minutes together per game (it’s the Gri zzlies’ 12th-most used two-man combo). 然而，除了Morant状态下滑之外，还有另一个奇怪的趋势正在浮现——那就是灰熊对「Mora nt–Jaren Jackson Jr.双核心组合」的淡化。在过去四个两人都保持健康的赛季中，他们 场均同场时间从未低於17.8分钟（上季最高达21.4分钟）；但本季前七场，他们场均仅同场 15.3分钟，仅为球队第12常用的双人组合。 To review, that’s the same Morant who signed a five-year, $197 million deal in the summer of 2022 (he is signed through the 2027-28 campaign) and the same Jack son who signed a five-year, $240 million extension in late June. Both are two-ti me All-Stars, and both — one would think — are even more important than before in light of the losses to core players like Bane and Dillon Brooks in recent ye ars. 要知道，这是那位在2022年夏天签下5年1.97亿美元合约、合约期至2027–28赛季的Morant ；以及那位在六月底签下5年2.4亿美元延长合约的Jackson。两人皆是两届全明星球员，理 论上在Bane与Dillon Brooks等核心流失後，应该比以往更具关键地位。 As for where this is all headed, it’s worth remembering that Morant is still ju st 26 years old. At his best, he’s a player who was in the running for “face o f the league” honors not too long ago. His baggage has been well chronicled, bu t there is still no shortage of teams that will continue monitoring his situatio n. 至於这一切将走向何方，可别忘了，Morant才26岁。在他巅峰时期，他曾是「联盟门面」的 候选人之一。虽然他的种种争议早已被记录在案，但仍有不少球队在密切关注他的动向。 The Minnesota Timberwolves, per a team source, are one. Ditto for the Sacramento Kings. The Grizzlies’ next opponent, the Houston Rockets, need a point guard a fter losing Fred Van Vleet to a torn ACL in the preseason but, per a team source , are unlikely to pursue him. That’s just a small sample size of what might be out there, and not out there, if the Morant sweepstakes ever actually begin. 根据消息来源，明尼苏达灰狼就是其中之一，沙加缅度国王也一样。灰熊的下一个对手休士 顿火箭在Fred Van Vleet於季前赛因ACL撕裂报销後确实需要控卫，但消息人士指出他们不 太可能追逐Morant。这只是可能潜在追逐者的冰山一角，若「Morant争夺战」真的开打，情 势将更加复杂。 We’re not there yet, though, and may never be. No matter how inevitable it migh t seem. 不过，我们尚未到那一步，也可能永远不会。无论这看起来多麽不可避免。 - 小打小闹 --
