来源：nola.com http://tinyurl.com/ly4muam 作者：John Reid 日期：April 28, 2015 Monty Williams pushing for Omer Asik's return for next season In their first-round playoff series against Golden State, Pelicans starting center Omer Asik failed to raise his level of play from the regular season. 在鹈鹕季後赛第一轮对抗勇士的系列赛，鹈鹕的先发中锋Asik并没有表现出他在例行赛时 的水准。 For the four games, Asik didn't get a block and totaled just eight points. Without Asik emerging, the Warriors, who swept the series in four games, had little trouble scoring in the lane when their 3-point shooting opportunities were taken away. 这四场比赛，Asik没有半个阻攻，总计只得8分。Asik在场上时并没能有效的巩固禁区，若 勇士在三分投射时遇到一些麻烦，他们可以在禁区予取予求。 Still, coach Monty Williams considers Asik highly valued, a player they intend to make a strong push to re-sign this summer despite his inconsistent play throughout the series against the Warriors. 但是总教练Monty依然给予Asik很高的评价，认为值得在这个夏天续签他，尽管Asik并没有 在季後赛拿出应有的发挥。 "As far as Omer, he's a huge part of what we do," Williams said during his end-of-the season news conference Tuesday. "If you look at our defensive numbers from last year to this year, we improved in a number of categories and Omer was a huge part of that." 「在Asik来了之後，他对我们来说是非常重要的存在，」Monty在星期二鹈鹕的季後新闻记 者会时说道。「如果你比较我们上季和这季的防守数据，就会发现我们在一些地方有进步 ，Asik对这些贡献良多。」 Asik will become an unrestricted free agent this summer, along with top backup center Alexis Ajinca and seldom-used reserve center Jeff Withey. But Asik, 7-foot, 255 pounds, was one of the highest-paid players on the Pelicans' roster , earning $14.8 million but only $8.3 million counted against of the Pelicans' salary cap because of the trade deal involving the Houston Rockets last summer. Asik在这个夏天会成为非受限自由球员，同时队上的主力替补中锋Ajinca和上场机会不多 的替补中锋Withey也是。但是7尺、225磅的Asik是目前鹈鹕薪资最高的球员之一，年薪高 达1480万美元，不过由於和火箭的交易合约，鹈鹕只需支付其中的830万美元。 As part of the deal for Asik, the Pelicans also lost their protected first-round pick because they ended the season slotted at 18th based on their 45-37 record. The only way the Pelicans would have retained their first-round pick was if they would have been able to select at Nos. 1-3 or 20-30. 因为本季鹈鹕的选秀A顺位为第18位，Asik的这笔交易也让鹈鹕同时失去了他们第一轮选秀 签。鹈鹕不失去第一轮签的方法只有他们的第一轮签是第一到第三或是第二十到第三十。 But Williams said Asik's impact was big enough in the regular season to help the team improve drastically from last season. During the regular season, Asik averaged 7.3 points, 9.8 rebounds and 0.7 blocks. 不过Monty认为Asik本季在例行赛的贡献值得以这支第一轮签交换。例行赛Asik每场平均 7.3分，9.8个篮板外带0.7个阻攻。 In the playoffs, however, he averaged a team-low 2.0 points and 7.3 rebounds. He also played limited in the fourth quarters throughout the series when the Warriors went with a small lineup. 而在季後赛，他只有平均每场2分，7.3篮板的低迷表现。且为了对付勇士在第四节时使用 的矮小阵容，Asik在关键第四节时的上场机会也被严重压缩。 "He was one of the guys that helped us get stops," Williams said. "He was really good at guarding and blocking shots and it makes our defense that much better. Early on, it didn't look like it and I'll be the first to admit that. But it takes time to figure out schemes. The other thing is that we had the toughest schedule in the league up until January I think and I think we were in the top five." 「他是其中一个能帮助我们遏止对手进攻的球员，」Monty说道。「他非常擅长防守以及封 阻，这让我们全队的防守变得更好。刚开始看起来不像这样，我是第一个承认这件事的。 这需要花一些时间来厘清。另一件事是我认为直到一月为止，我们有最艰困的赛程，而我 认为我们应该是联盟前五强。」 "But Omer certainly added great value to our team, not just as a defender but his IQ as he got more comfortable with me, we began to talk more I think that's when you started seeing our defense get a lot better. So he's highly valued by this organization and that he's an asset to this city." 「Asik无疑地帮球队增加了很多价值，不只是一个出色的防守者，在和我熟悉之後，他的 高IQ也让我们聊了很多，我认为这开始让我们的防守有长足的进步。所以他在我们队中拥 有很高的价值，这也是为什麽他是这个城市的瑰宝。」 心得：不知道Monty是真的对Asik有如此高的评价或是有部分是溢美之词， 但整体看起来他应该是很想把Asik留下， 不过Asik除了薪资颇高，在面对小球战术为主的球队时似乎很容易吃瘪， 对勇士的四场就是个证明。 球队若要留下Asik，应该也要有相应的对策来应付小球战术， Asik在场上时我不确定还有没有办法还是就只能把他换下去， 但把他换下去的代价可能就是防守和篮板优势丢失， G3就是狂丢篮板最後被大逆转... --
