DALLAS -- The Dallas Mavericks' dubious distinction of stumbling to the worst start by a defending NBA champion in more than four decades didn't discourage owner Mark Cuban. 达拉斯小牛的开季为40年来卫冕冠军中最烂的 不过Cuban依然有信心(哪来自信= =) "I think we're a better team than last year," Cuban told ESPNDallas.com before the Mavericks finally got their first win of the season Friday night with a 99-86 victory over the Toronto Raptors at the American Airlines Center. 在今天对暴龙前 Cuban接受ESPN访问时说到他认为今年小牛阵容比去年好 Cuban anticipates that it will take the Mavericks at least 15 to 20 games -- and all the practices during that span -- to jell as the veteran-loaded team plays its way into shape and incorporates several key new players. Cuban预估Mavericks需要15~20场的比赛还有这中间的练习来磨合 The Mavericks, who joined the 1969-70 Boston Celtics as the only teams in NBA history to follow up a championship run with an 0-3 start, made the calculated decision to value financial flexibility next offseason more than keeping the core of their first title team together. "It's the right move for the franchise," coach Rick Carlisle said. Mavericks的高层评估拆解title team来换取自由市场的操作弹性比起留住key FA还重要 而Caelisle则是认为这个动作对於这支职业球队来说是正确的动作 As a result, the Mavericks lost center Tyson Chandler, small forward Caron Butler, point guard J.J. Barea and shooting guard DeShawn Stevenson in free agency, plus small forward Peja Stojakovic retired. Dallas filled the roster by using a trade exception to acquire forward Lamar Odom and signing shooting guard Vince Carter, guard Delonte West, power forward Brandan Wright and center Sean Williams to cap-friendly, short-term contracts during the shortened training camp. 再来小牛的动作各位都知道罗 补了Odom,Carter,West,Wright(全是很好操作的约) "I think we've got more talent than last year, by far," Cuban said. "It takes time. It takes time. We still have the same coach, the same core with one or two exceptions, but I think we did all right replacing those guys, so we'll see. Cuban:我认为这支球队的天赋比上季还要高 这需要花点时间,我们拥有同样的教练,几乎相同的核心阵容,且所有的补强都算正确 我们就等着看吧 "... We're more diverse. There are more things we can do. That's not to take away from the guys that we lost, but Delonte West brings something different, Lamar and Vince bring something different. We're posting up three, four, five possessions in a row. That's a look we would have loved to have last year. The matchups, if we can get in shape and exploit them, I see a ton of positives." Cuban:我们的阵容更多样化,能在场上摆上3~5个能够post up的球员 这是我们去年很想要的,如果能整合成功,我对球队非常乐观 Cuban anticipated a slow start for the Mavericks coming out of the lockout because they rely on teamwork more than individual talent. He believes the Mavericks will be contenders again because they still have great chemistry, a strong coaching staff and players who are willing to work. "You can't question A.I. about practice and then wonder why everything is not perfect when you don't have practice, right? Practice?! Practice?!" Cuban said, breaking into an Allen Iverson impersonation. "We need some practice! We're a precision team. I think teams that are super athletic have an early advantage. You design schemes to beat athleticism when you can, but you have to have guys who understand everything and are in shape in order to be able to execute." Cuban预期这支球队有个慢热的开季,他的理由是这支球队的运作是团队合作而非 依靠卓越个别球员的天赋(这里感觉他偷酸了Iverson= =) 所以需要更多的练习 Cuban points out that he didn't panic when the Mavericks started 0-4 after their previous trip to the Finals. That team recovered to win a franchise-record 67 games, although they were eliminated by the eighth-seeded Golden State Warriors in the first round of playoffs. Cuban提到在06-07年球季的时候小牛开季4连败时他一点也不紧张 事实上後来球队以67胜坐收(尽管後来.....) Cuban mentioned a more recent memory as reason to think that lopsided losses to the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets in the season's first two games weren't a sign of impending doom in Dallas. "You know what? They were no worse than when we went on our West Coast road trip at the end of last season," Cuban said, referring to a four-game losing streak late last season that began with a 28-point blowout against the Los Angeles Lakers. "Then people had reason to be nervous, right? It turned out all right. So two games in with no practice, three games in, four games, five games, 10 games. ... I'm not worried." Cuban提起上季 小牛在球季尾声在西海岸的四连败 其中包括被湖人狂电28分的惨败,但後来小牛还是在季後赛拿下16场胜利 他认为现在的情况不会比当时还要糟 Cuban:当时很多人都在紧张;看衰 但是後来一切都步上正轨 那两场大败的比赛我认为我们没有足够的练习,所以我一点也不担心. 老板真有自信 有不足的地方再请各位补足了 thanks http://tinyurl.com/87onpdk --
