Is Omri Casspi the key to the Kings’ offseason? Casspi，国王队休赛期的关键？ The Sacramento Kings may or may not be done with their free agent buying spree. The team was close to the cap, but then it leaped from $67 million to $70 million on Wednesday afternoon. Sacramento may have a few more cards to play before it’s all said and done, but their offseason haul so far is impressive. 萨克拉门托国王队也许已经结束了在自由市场的大采购，也许还没有结束。球队已经离工 资帽十分接近了，但在周三下午，工资帽由6700万增加到了7000万。在交易期截止前，国 王队还有几张牌可打，但到目前来看，他们在休赛期已收获颇丰。 Marco Belinelli was the first shoe to drop, signing a three-year, $19 million deal to compete for a starting job at either the two or the three. Rajon Rondo was next, inking a one-year deal that presumably comes with the starting point guard position. Vlade Divac added Kosta Koufos during the Fourth of July fireworks, giving the Kings a very solid third big in their rotation. Belinelli首当其冲，这位可以同时担任得分後卫和小前锋首发的球员与国王队签订了一 份三年总价值1900万的合约。Rondo紧随其後，这位有望出任国王队新赛季首发控卫的球 星与国王队签约一年。在风云变幻的7月份的第四天，Vlade Divac又签来Kosta Koufos， 後者成为了国王队轮换阵容中非常可靠的第三个内线球员。 After all of the fanfare was over, Divac was able to appease the fans with the signing of Omri Casspi to a two-year deal worth a total of $6 million. The 27-year-old wing quickly became a favorite of the Kings faithful after returning to the team for his second tour of duty. The Casspi signing hasn’t gone unnoticed completely, but any murmurs about his deal have to do with how little he took, instead of what his standing with the team may be. 当所有的号角声行将结束时，Divac又用两年600万成功续约Casspi，球迷们的胃口再一次 得到满足。这位27岁的侧翼球员在重回国王的日子里很快成为了国王拥促的最爱。 Casspi的签约并不是密不透风，但是关於他，人们更多关心的是他将得到何等的低薪，而 不是他将加盟哪支球队。 Sacramento has plenty of position battles to play out. Rondo will take on Darren Collison, the incumbent at the point guard position. Belinelli is set to take on 22-year-old Ben McLemore at the two. The plan is to play Rudy Gay plenty of minutes at the power forward position this season. In fact, he may even start for the Kings at the four when the season opens in October. And DeMarcus Cousins is the Kings’ everything in the middle. If Gay is the starting power forward, who plays the three? 国王队的多个位置竞争激烈。在控卫位置上，Rondo将会和上赛季首发的Collins展开竞争 。在得分後卫的位置上，Belinelli将和McLemore有一番争夺。另外， 国王队计画在新赛 季让Gay更多地出现在大前锋的位置。实际上，Gay很有可能在10月份开始的新赛季首发出 任四号位。还有，Cousins会当仁不让地出现在中锋位置。 如果Gay成为首发大前锋，那麽，小前锋位置留给谁呢？ Coach George Karl has a few options, but the one that instantly stands out is the budget hire. Casspi finished the 2015-16 season starting at the small forward position and despite his meager salary, he may be in line to continue that feat when the new season tips off. Karl教练有几个选择，但是，最有可能连续出现在三号位的还是一位元早已在预算中的球 员。在2015-16赛季，Casspi就是球队的首发小前锋，即使在国王队薪水微薄，他还是很 有可能在新赛季继续担当首发三号位的角色。 There is a lot to be decided between now and the start of the regular season, but Casspi did something that very few of his teammates were able to accomplish in the 30 games following the All-Star break – he earned the trust of Karl. Not only that, but he became the Kings’ most reliable 3-point shooter and he showed a playmaking ability that he hadn’t been able to explore in his previous five seasons in the league. 不到常规赛大幕开启，一切都还是未知数。但在上赛季全明星周末间歇期後的30场比赛里 ，Casspi完成了少有队友可以完成的事情——他已赢得Karl信任。不仅如此，Casspi还是 球队里最为稳定的3分投手，除此之外，他还展示在前五个赛季无法施展的创造进攻机会 的能力。 Following the break, Casspi posted averages of 11.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 26.7 minutes per game. He shot an incredible 46.2 percent from long range and showed an ability to get out on the break and run, which is a major plus in Karl’s system. 上个赛季，Casspi在场均出场26.7分钟的情况下，交出了11.2分，4.7个篮板，2.0次助攻 的答卷。他的远投命中率更是达到了惊人的46.2%，除此之外，他还展现了能够迅速进入 比赛状态的能力，而这也是Karl的战术体系所需要的。 In the final eight games of the season, Casspi got an honest shot to show what he can do and the numbers were spectacular. In the month of April, the Israeli-born wing averaged 19.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 34 minutes a night. 在上赛季最後的八场比赛中，Casspi得到了充分展示自己能力的机会，而且，他的资料也 足够华丽。4月份，在每晚34分钟的出场时间里，这位出生於以色列的侧翼球员可以拿到 19.9分，5.8个篮板和2.9次助攻。 Casspi is an exciting player who has yet to reach his potential as a player. He showed that he can defend at a high level the year before in Houston, but he struggled last season in Sacramento. If he can put his entire game together, the Kings may have found one of the true steals of the 2015 free agency period. Casspi是一位给人激情的球员，他已经充分发掘了自己的潜力。在休斯顿，他展现了高水 准的防守能力，但上赛季在萨克拉门托，他在防守端陷入了挣紮。如果Casspi能够在一场 比赛中做到攻防兼备的话，那麽，国王队真的就是在2015年的自由市场上淘到了珍宝。 There was no question that Casspi wanted to return to Sacramento, which may have hurt his value on the open market. But there is an opportunity to shine with the Kings if everything falls into place. 毫无疑问，Casspi渴望续约国王，即使这会削减他在自由市场的价值。但是，如果一切进 展顺利，Casspi还是有机会与国王一同闪耀。 Belinelli can really shoot. Rondo is a four-time All-Star who has fallen on hard times. Koufos is a perfect big man to support Cousins, Gay and rookie Willie Cauley-Stein. But Casspi may be the key to the Kings’ entire offseason. Belinelli是很好的投手。Rondo贵为四届全明星，虽然现在遭遇不顺。Koufos是Cousins 的完美内线帮手，还有Gay和新秀Willie Cauley-Stein。但Casspi也许会成为国王整个休 赛期的关键。 http://bbs.hupu.com/13184610.html 原文标题: Is Omri Casspi the key to the Kings’ offseason? 原文连结: http://cowbellkingdom.com/is-omri-casspi-the-key-to-the-kings-offseason/ 译者: @坡上小木匠 心得：期待Casspi下季的表现 --
