Meet Petteri Koponen, the Mavericks' new point guard from Finland 外电连结：http://goo.gl/pa1e82 In case you forgot -- and no one is blaming you if you did, since following international leagues isn't really a priority -- the Mavericks hold the rights to an international veteran point guard who was named to All-Eurocup First Team just a couple weeks ago after winning Eurocup championship with Russian club BC Khimki Moscow Region. He's Finland native Petteri Koponen. He's 6'4 and 27 years old, a 2007 first round draft pick whose player rights were dealt to the Mavericks from the Portland Trail Blazers back in 2011. And according to ESPN's Marc Stein, he wants to make his debut in the NBA in 2015. Since Finland isn't known to be a basketball hotbed and American fans don't know that much about Russian basketball, it might be helpful to take a peek at Koponen and see what he has done during these past a couple of years. Can he help the Mavericks in their current point guard turbulence? -- 小牛在2011年从拓荒者那边得到芬兰的PG, Petteri Koponen 他刚在欧洲拿到冠军并入选第一队(对欧洲联赛不熟 这方面不太清楚要怎麽翻QQ) 27岁, 身高6'4, 虽然在美国不红但作者一直有关注他 最近他又传出想来nba打球的意愿 所以作者想谈谈他能不能解决小牛现在PG位置的"混乱" -- Who was this Koponen guy again? In 2012, Koponen signed a three year deal with Moscow-based BC Khimi - one of top three clubs in Russia and former team of guys like Alexey Shved, Timofey Mozgov, Carlos Delfino and Jorge Garbajosa. The year of 2012-13 was a roller coaster of a season. While Koponen was named Euroleague player of the week once, he had tons of ups and downs as the rookie of Khimki's five-guard rotation under Lithuanian veteran coach Rimas Kurtinaitis. Summer of 2013 was more successful for Koponen, who lead underdog team Finland to fantastic performance in Eurobasket 2013 in Slovenia. Finland won five out of eight games -- including victories over Turkey (Ömer Asik, Hedo Türkoglu, Ersan Ilyasova), Sweden (Jonas Jerebko, Jeff Taylor), Russia (Alexey Shved), Greece (Vassilis Spanoulis) and Slovenia (Dragic brothers). In his best game of the tournament, Koponen destroyed Greece with 29 points. Koponen finished No. 1 in steals and No. 2 in assists in the tournament and Finland eventually was handed a wild card spot in FIBA World Cup 2014. -- 2012年，Koponen和Moscow-based BC Khimi签了三年约， Moscow-based BC Khimi 是俄罗斯联赛前三的队伍，很多有名的球员待过 像是 Alexey Shved, Timofey Mozgov, Carlos Delfino and Jorge Garbajosa. 2012-13球季他过得并没有很顺遂, 要同时和四个球员竞争後卫的位置， 他曾经得过一次单周最佳球员 2013年暑假他代表芬兰国家队出战欧锦赛，表现很好 芬兰取得五胜三败的战绩 赢了土耳其, 瑞典, 俄罗斯, 希腊, 斯洛维尼雅 Koponen在对希腊一战表现最好，得到了29分 他同时是那年欧锦赛的抄截王, 助攻也排名第二 芬兰也取得FIBA门票 -- In 2013/14, Koponen showed tremendous improvement in club play, averaging 13,7 points, 3,5 rebounds and 3,0 assists a game while playing both guard positions in deep, deep Khimki team. Even though Khimki managed to break all time winning streak records in both Eurocup and VTB League, eventual Eurocup champion Valencia ended their season prematurely in Eurocup quarterfinals and they didn't manage to get pass VTB League quarterfinals. Koponen led team Finland in the summer of 2014 to their first ever FIBA World Cup performance. While Finland was only able to win one out of five games, Koponen was clearly the engine as well as the most capable player in the team, finishing #1 in assists in tournament and showing his natural ability to score and create even against Team USA (in blowout loss, though). -- 13-14 球季，Koponen在sg/pg人员非常充足的球队中依然取得了13.7分, 3.5篮板, 3.0助攻的好成绩 14暑假他率领芬兰首度参加FIBA，虽然芬兰没赢球，但Koponen是那年FIBA的助攻王 也是芬兰队很明显的引擎&第一得分手 -- Fast forward to season 2014/15: After Croatian point guard Marko Popovic' injury, Koponen has spent his time 50/50 shuffling between shooting guard and point guard positions in Khimki rotation. The experiment has been a success: Koponen is currently averaging 15,1 points, 3,8 assists and 2,5 rebounds a game. Khimki won the Eurocup title in impressive fashion earning a spot in Euroleague in 2015/16 while Koponen was named to All Eurocup First Team and honored as the top sixth man in VTB League. In late March, Koponen signed a two-year contract with Khimki. His contract has a buyout section which permits him to leave Russia in summers 2015 and 2016, if he's offered an NBA contract. -- 14-15球季 教练尝试让Koponen打pg/sg双挑，最後也得到了好的结果 他以平均 15.1分, 3.8助攻, 2.5篮板, 进入年度第一队, 球队也取得冠军结束球季 他在三月与球队续约两年，但其中有允许他买断合约寻求到nba发展的部分 -- Enough of this. Is he good enough to play rotation minutes in the NBA? What's more important: could he really help the Mavericks right now? 所以他到底适不适合小牛呢？ While I was sure already in 2011 that Koponen could be a part of an NBA team rotation, these last two years have convinced me that he could even be a very capable second point guard for a playoff team. Here's the deal: time and time again, Koponen proves that he will swim when thrown in the cold water. -- 作者很早就在观察他了，他在2011年就确定他能达到nba的高度， 而现在作者认为他很适合成为季後赛球队的替补控球 作者表示，每次Koponen遇到困境，他都能找到方法让自己更好 -- Just three years ago in Khimki, he has been forced to develop into a shooting guard, a position he was far from comfortable with. He has responded extremely well, improving his catch-and-shoot and off-ball skills. Then again, during this season, the team needed Koponen back at a point guard and as a result, they received a career year from him. Meanwhile, Koponen is by far the best player of Team Finland (despite Erik Murphy being probably the most recognizable for U.S. audience). Everything runs through Koponen and national team head coach Henrik Dettmann gives Koponen tons of liberties to call the offensive plays. -- 三年前他被球队要求从pg改打sg, 他最後练出了C&S和空手跑位的能力 而上个球季，他被要求回去打pg, 最後他打出了生涯年。 他也是芬兰国家对目前最好的球员，芬兰国家队教练已经给予他在场上指挥进攻的自由 -- Team Finland needs the ball in Koponen's hands because of his world-class ability to handle the ball and create shots for himself and his teammates. And it can't be mentioned enough that every other national team knows for sure that Koponen is Team Finland's engine. Koponen is burdened with tons of pressure, he's constantly double-teamed, trapped, harassed and roughed-up, but he's always able to deliver. In both national team and club play, Koponen plays against Euroleague and NBA caliber players almost weekly. Naturally, the speed and physicality of NBA play would be something that would take some time to cope with and it is true that he would struggle against enforcer type of defensive players such as Chris Paul or Patrick Beverley, but in that case, he wouldn't differ from majority of NBA point guards. -- 芬兰国家队非常依赖他高水准的控球能力和发动进攻的能力，对手也都知道这件事情 他打国际赛时时常遭遇包夹, 但他都能想办法把球分出去 他可能需要适应nba更快速和对抗性更高的球风，而且他碰到像是Chris Paul or Patrick Beverley的防守可能会吃鳖，但大多数nba的pg碰到CP3和小贝也都不好过 -- If you watched his YouTube clips, you already got a glimpse of his playing style. He is a natural scoring point guard who can both blow past his opponent and sink jumpers from all over terrific accuracy. Those YouTube clips can be deceiving, though, because in national team, he's the #1 scoring option. If he played with Mavs, his main focus would be to run the plays and distribute for guys such as Dirk and Parsons -- then again, his man couldn't let him unguarded because of his ball-handling skills, speed and shot, so he'd work well in pace and space offense. -- 他擅长突破和从各个不同角度拔起跳投，而且很准 不过他在国家队是进攻的第一选择，如果他在小牛打球，他的工作会是执行战术并且 把球交给Dirk或CP25, 他的速度、运球能力、和投篮能力会让防守者不能放掉他 所以快速地开放球风会很适合他 -- Defensively, he'd fit in. When he first moved from Finland to Italy in 2008, he had to earn his minutes playing tough on-ball defense and he's known as a pesky guy who's strong, fast and witty enough to control opposing 1's and 2's. Naturally, no one can expect him to harness Stephen Curry or Derrick Rose, but even in Team USA's FIBA World Cup blowout victory over Team Finland, Koponen was pretty much the only Finn who was able to hang with NBA players defensively. -- 2008年他到义大利打球，他强悍的一对一防守让他取得了更多上场时间 他一直都被视为麻烦的防守者，对抗性、速度、和观察比赛的能力让他能够守pg, sg 虽然他可能没办法锁住像是Curry, Rose 这样的球员, 但他已经是芬兰国家队中唯一 在FIBA能够在防守端与美国国家队抗衡的球员 -- 原文太长了=口= 後面作者有描述了一下他的缺点 他在篮下的对抗性，买饭能力不够，他不喜欢切到篮下，也习惯性地避免碰撞 篮下的floater, 上篮的finish技巧都不够成熟 然後进攻端他会是卡帅很爱的"瑞士刀型球员"，同时不会脑冲、也不会一意孤行 而是战术执行力高，听教练指示的球员，同时又具备自走炮的能力 防守端，他阅读比赛、和队友沟通的能力都很好，会是很好的侧翼协防球员 同时一对一防守也很好 芬兰国家队的球风是仰赖快速的执行战术和中长距离投射 这个战术理念和卡帅相去不远，而koponen很适合有明确的战术的季後赛球队 他的效率在这样的球队更能彰显 最後作者举了其他欧洲球员的例子 像是Dragic, Dellavedova, Mills, Prigioni 然後说小牛找他不会有损失，同时也给了他一个能征战NBA的机会 ------------- 虽然还没来NBA打过，但今年自由市场pg人选少的情况下， 小牛会不会赌赌看呢？如果他真的想来nba，小牛就会是他第一个选择 除非他被交易掉？ 作者也有强调他对Koponen情有独锺，所以大家读他的评价时可能可以再保守一点XD 虽然我们缺的是先发，但个人觉得如果防守好&投篮够准的话似乎值得一试～ 第一次翻译外电～有任何建议请多指教！^^ --
