观察家日报报导：http://goo.gl/gbvYfq 简单摘要： 明年秋天即将成立的黄蜂所属发展联盟球队，主场城市确定选在距离夏洛特开车只要 1 个半小时的 Greensboro。 距离选这麽近，Steve Clifford 就这麽表示了：「这样新秀就可以早上跟我们练球，晚 上再开车去比赛了！！！」 而很愿意举例的 Clifford 就说，C`s 的 Avery Bradley 就是这麽苦过来的喔～～你看 看人家现在是先发球员呢！ 总之，独自拥有单支发展联盟球队，能建立相同的战术体系与球队文化，让球队新人有更 具意义的练习，同时也有机会在砂砾中挖掘出适合球队体系的球员。 对於很难靠自由球员怒补一强的黄蜂来说，绝对是好事一桩。 原文： The Charlotte Hornets have chosen Greensboro as the home for their NBA Development League franchise, to begin play in the fall of 2016. A formal announcement is expected Tuesday. The Greensboro News and Record first reported the decision. The Hornets announced in May their intention to start a D-League franchise based in the Carolinas. Seven cities were originally considered, with Asheville, Greenville, S.C., and Fayetteville as finalists. The Hornets previously have shared a D-League affiliate with one or more other NBA teams. The trend in the NBA is toward teams owning or controlling their own D-League affiliates, geographically nearby, so that young players can be assigned there efficiently. Last season two Hornets – rookie Noah Vonleh and veteran Jeff Taylor – spent brief stints in the D-League. Vonleh wasn’t playing much at the time and Taylor was coming off recovery from a ruptured Achilles tendon and an NBA suspension over a domestic violence charge. Hornets coach Steve Clifford said at practice Sunday that setting up a D-League affiliate within driving distance of Charlotte could have big benefits. “Great benefits: The opportunity to build continuity for young guys so they can play. They can both be here with us practicing and get game time (with the D-League team.) “The best example I’ve heard of is Avery Bradley. There were plenty of days when he would practice in the morning with the (Boston) Celtics, then drive up to Portland, Maine, play a game that night and drive right back. His attitude was so good about it, and now look what he’s doing” as an NBA starter. The Hornets will hire a coaching staff and a front office for the Greensboro team. “We view player-development as critical. We think this is a great opportunity for our basketball people to have complete autonomy and control of how that part of the business is run,” Hornets president Fred Whitfield said in May. “We also see it as a great opportunity to keep growing our brand regionally.” Nine NBA teams, most recently the Indiana Pacers, own and operate their own D-League affiliates. Eight others fund and run basketball operations, with a local promoter running business operations. The Dallas Mavericks’ D-League affiliate is owned by general manager Donnie Nelson. -- 「你知道吗？河田刚入学的时候只有165cm。」（..，我只知道我国小毕业就高他3cm了。） 「据说他在一年之内，足足长了25cm。」（喵的咧...，我後来花了六年才长4cm。） 「从後卫打到前锋，最後主打中锋。」（从中锋打到前锋，最後主打控卫。） 「三种不同位置通通打过，这就是他成为日本高中界最强中锋的原因。」（我...） --
