JaVale McGee正成為小牛的潛力明星 DALLAS -- Coach Rick Carlisle referred to the process of JaVale McGee becoming a regular part of the Dallas Mavericks rotation as a "slow burn." That was before Friday night's 97-88 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. If McGee's performance was a sign of things to come, that process will start to sizzle real soon. This was the kind of outing the Mavs hoped for when they signed McGee to a partially guaranteed, two-year minimum contract this summer. He packed a lot of impact into his season-high 18 minutes, scoring 10 points, grabbing 5 rebounds, blocking 3 shots and frustrating Memphis low-post monster Zach Randolph with his long-armed, big-bodied defense. 小牛總教練Rick Carlisle表示，McGee已成為合格的小牛輪替陣容之一，這一切的過程 就像是一個"緩慢的重生之路"。 而在上週五以97-88擊敗灰熊隊時McGee的出色表現宣告了接下來的一切將會很快的發生。 這正是今年夏天小牛以兩年底薪的非保證約簽下McGee所期待發生的事 18分鐘的出賽時間中，得到10分、5籃板、送出3火鍋並利用他的臂展與身材讓灰熊內線 大將Zach Randolph吃足苦頭 "He made a huge impact on the game, really at both ends of the court," Carlisle said after the Mavs outscored the Grizzlies by 20 during McGee's time on the floor. "He's got really unusual length for a guy like that and he's got great athleticism, too. Look, he's worked hard. It's taken a while. We've got to be a little bit careful about how long we play him in terms of stretches of minutes. We can't go more than six or seven minutes [at a time] with him, but he was one of the big differences in the game." Zaza Pachulia, who posted his 15th double-double of the season with 10 points and 18 rebounds, has been a godsend for the Mavs as a starting center after DeAndre Jordan jilted Dallas in free agency. McGee has the potential to be a perfect complement to Pachulia. "他在球場兩端都造成了巨大影響" Carlisle在與灰雄賽後談到 "他是一個集身高優勢與 運動天賦於一身的球員，並且一上場便盡全力發揮，但我們必須小心使用他，我不能讓他 突然增加6到7分鐘的出賽時間，即使有他在場上能讓球賽變得完全不一樣。" Zaza Pachulia拿下10分、18籃板，本賽季第15次雙十演出，在DeAndre Jordan於自由球 員市場擺了小牛一道之後，Zaza對小牛而言可說是從天上掉下來的禮物。McGee則是Zaza 最好的替補。 When he's well, McGee excels at the facets of the game that aren't the ground-bound Pachulia's strengths: finishing above the rim and blocking shots. The springy 7-footer can completely change the dynamic of the Dallas offense by being the kind of vertical threat Tyson Chandler and Brandan Wright were in the past and the Mavs envisioned Jordan would be in the future. Four of McGee's five baskets Friday were dunks, including a few alley-oops. Pachulia, by comparison, has five dunks all season. 當他完全傷癒後，McGee所擅長的攻擊籃框與火鍋嚇阻正好是地板型Zaza所不足的 七呎身高配上優異彈性，可以完全彌補Tyson Chandler與Brandan Wright離隊後小牛的 禁區進攻威脅，並讓人遺忘DeAndre Jordan的一切。 在與灰熊之戰中，McGee的五次出手命中中，有四次是灌籃，其中包含了一次空中接力 對照Zaza本季至今只有五次的灌籃。 It's not just about filling up a highlight reel. That lob threat changes the way defenses play the pick-and-roll, creating space for the Mavs' playmakers and shooters to roll. It's no coincidence Chandler Parsons had a season-high seven assists -- including two feeds to McGee for rim-rattling finishes -- when McGee played his most minutes with the Mavs. "I love Zaza, first of all," said Parsons, who stuffed the box score with 16 points and seven rebounds in addition to his assists. "He's been unbelievable for us and played great tonight, too, but [McGee is] the type of 5-man I'm used to playing with, playing with Dwight [Howard], playing with Tyson, playing with Brandan Wright. It's a game-changer for us. The way he sets screens and rolls and having that lob threat is a whole other part of the game that we’ve been missing. 這不僅僅是highlight鏡頭比較多而已，這改變了防守者在面對pick-and-roll時的難度 並創造了隊上的playmaker和射手們有了更好的發揮空間，並讓Chandler Parsons得到 了本季新高的7次助攻，包含了兩次餵給McGee的高吊球。在這McGee本季至今上場時間最 多的一場比賽。 "我愛Zaza，首先，" 得到16分、7籃板的Parsons說 "他今晚真的表現得很不可思議，但 是你看看McGee，他是個團隊球員，我真的難以形容，他今晚就像是Dwight Howard、就像 是Tyson、就像是Brandan Wright，他改變了球賽，他對於禁區與高吊球的威脅是我們之 前所欠缺的。 "I threw him a horrible alley-oop tonight and he still caught it and almost finished it. He's a freak. It makes everything so much easier and loosens up the defense on pick-and-rolls. It really opens up the game to play with him." There were no guarantees McGee would even play a minute after complications from stress fractures in his leg limited him to a total of 28 games the previous two seasons. The Mavs provided themselves insurance by structuring the deal on a pay-as-they-go basis. There was, however, a lot of hope after a medical breakthrough in McGee's case following his March buyout from the Philadelphia 76ers. Doctors discovered he had anemia, McGee told ESPN.com, and the lack of iron in his blood was preventing the stress fractures in his leg from healing. "我傳給他一個糟糕的alley-oop，但他依然接到並確實的完成了這個空中接力，他就像 是個怪物，但他讓這一切變得容易，他的掩護讓防守者措手不及，他確實解放了這場球 賽" 這可能仍無法保證McGee的穩定出賽時間，尤其因腿傷的影響，他前兩個賽季只打了28 場比賽，小牛為這狀況買了保險，他們可以視情況決定是否履行剩餘的合約 雖然如此，我們依然可以從McGee身上看到無限希望，特別是他自從三月被76人釋出後 的傷勢復原進度 醫療報告顯示他患有貧血症，McGee告訴ESPN，因為血液中缺乏鐵的關西，導致他腳傷 復原進度受到影響 "I had to change my diet a little bit," McGee said. "I'm not really a big red-meat-eater, but they told me I had to eat at least a steak a week." The downside of the diet change is McGee added unwanted bulk, adding to his conditioning challenge after sitting for most of the last two years. He wasn't cleared to fully practice until after training camp and didn't make his season debut until Nov. 22, so McGee is still in the process of shedding weight and getting in shape, a factor in Carlisle opting not to play him in five of the Mavs' previous eight games. McGee weighs 270 pounds now and wants to get down to 255 or 260. He figures he's operating athletically at about 90 percent capacity now, but he hasn't had any issues with his surgically repaired leg. "It feels pretty good at this point right now," McGee said. "I've got to keep getting conditioned and rehabbing and stay positive." His performance against Memphis isn't the finish line for McGee. But it might be a launching point. "Listen, JaVale by no means has arrived," Carlisle said. "This is one really important game." McGee can be one really important piece to the Mavs' puzzle. "我不得不改變我的飲食習慣" McGee說 "我不是個喜歡吃紅肉的人，但醫生告訴我，我每 週至少得吃一客牛排" 在改變飲食習慣後，枯坐了兩年板凳的McGee準備迎來接下來的挑戰 他錯過了季前訓練營以及開季，因此McGee仍在努力減重並尋求找回昔日的狀態。這些因 素讓Carlisle決定在小牛之前的八場比賽中不讓他上場。 目前270磅的McGee目標減重至255到260磅。而現在，他已經恢復了他九成的狀態，季前的 腿傷手術中並沒有造成他任何問題。 "我現在感到非常好" McGee說 "我會保持樂觀的心態並持續訓練與復健 McGee對灰熊的表現不是終點，而他的威力才剛要爆發 "聽好了，McGee已經回來了" Carlisle說 "而他將在比賽中扮演重要腳色" McGee 將成為小牛陣中不可或缺的重要拼圖。 --
