Ask any fan of the Bucks or Wizards. Even Oregonians know better than to plan a parade route through downtown Portland for next June. 儘管選秀令人興奮 但是絕大多數的效果都需要等待再觀察 問問一些樂透區的常客球隊就知道 But when your team signs a free agent whose abilities are well established? 不過如果你的團隊簽了一個依然有著很好的能力呢? Expectations rise, often beyond reason. 期待通常超過現實 The last free-agent signing that truly changed the landscape at the very top of the league? Shaquille O'Neal, signed away from the Orlando Magic in the summer of 1996 at the center of Lakers teams that won three-straight titles. Even so, it took four seasons in L.A. for O'Neal to win his first ring. S.O'Neal在離開魔術後贏得了三連霸.儘管如此，他還是花了四個球季來贏得他的第 一枚戒指. Spurs fans remember when the Magic, burned so badly when O'Neal jumped ship, had designs of building a dynasty around Tim Duncan and Grant Hill. Both were free agents in the summer of 2000. 馬刺迷還記得魔術當大歐轉隊後想靠簽下TD和G.Hill來建立他們的王朝.上兩人都是在 2000年夏天時合約到期.(我記得還有T-Mac) Orlando landed Hill. Duncan chose to remain here. 魔術得到了Hill. TD選擇留在馬刺. Four Spurs titles and five ankle operations later, Hill had a second opportunity to team with Duncan. This time, it looks as if he passed. 馬刺的四次總冠軍及五次腳踝手術之後.Hill有了第二次和TD合作的機會.這次 .他好像又要放掉. On the market again, Hill reportedly has decided he will sign with the Suns when free agents officially can put pen to paper next Wednesday. 再一次出現在自由球員市場.Hill被報導的像是他已經決定和太陽簽約. 就等下星期三的到來而已. Formal courtship between the Spurs and Hill never ensued. The Pistons, in fact, were far more disheartened by Hill's decision to go to Phoenix than anyone with an office on Spurs Lane. 馬刺對Hill的追求從未發生. 而事實上活塞對於Hill決定去鳳凰城比任何馬刺人還要搥心肝 Suns insiders believe assistant coach Alvin Gentry, who was on the Pistons' coaching staff through Hill's first five seasons in the league, was a major factor luring Hill to the Valley of the Sun. Don't doubt that Suns coach Mike D'Antoni, a Team USA assistant under Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, prevailed on Coach K to have a few words with the former Blue Devils star. 太陽內部人士相信助理教練Alvin Gentry是主要因素.因為他在活塞待過的期間正是Hill 的前五個nba球季.別懷疑當過Duke K教練助理教練D'Antoni會不會用Hill這前藍魔鬼的 明星球員. There are intangible factors at work, too. Hill may well believe it will be more fun running the floor with Steve Nash than with Tony Parker. It's hard to argue the notion. Nash is the league's best passer and its deepest thinker. Parker gets more cerebral on the court every season but remains more pure athlete than pure player. Plus, the Spurs already have Bruce Bowen at small forward and Manu Ginobili and Michael Finley at big guard. Those are Hill's positions. As fragile as his ankles have been the past seven seasons, Hill still wants to play, rather than sit. 還有一些其他因素讓希爾也相信跟Nash合作會比Parker有趣.毫無疑問地Nash是聯盟最好 的後衛.而Parker也表現的越來越好.再加上馬刺已有Bowen Manu Finley占據著SF及SG這 兩個Hill打的位置.即使腳踝很脆弱.Hill選擇還要再打球. Money clearly was no factor. Hill reportedly will get the biannual salary cap exception from the Suns, worth about $1.8 million. Had the Spurs made an offer, it likely would have been for the veteran's minimum, about $1.2 million for a player with 10 or more years of service. Hill has 12. 錢顯然不是原因. Hill據說將從太陽得到biannual salary cap,價值約180萬美元. 馬刺的要約則是老將最低薪，約120萬美元的選手，適用打了10年以上的球員. Hill打12年了. Hill could have gotten considerably more from the Pistons, at least double what the Suns offered. When Hill swears what he most wants is the opportunity to play for a championship, the fact he spurned a couple million bucks verifies the assertion. Hill去活塞可以拿更多薪水，至少是太陽出的兩倍.但Hill真正想要的是冠軍. You have to wonder why Hill regards Phoenix as the best place to accomplish his ultimate goal, though. After all, the Spurs have eliminated the Suns en route to their two most recent titles. 你想知道為什麼選太陽不選馬刺.畢竟馬刺阻斷了近兩次太陽的冠軍夢(今年與前年?) Maybe Hill believes the Suns would have won the 2007 NBA title had Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw not been suspended from Game 4 of the Spurs-Suns Western Conference semifinal series. 或許Hill相信太陽會贏得2007年的冠軍吧.要是Stoudemire和Diaw沒被禁賽的話. Hill, if healthy, will make the Suns better, and D'Antoni can use him du the regular season as Gregg Popovich uses Robert Horry — sparingly, with an eye on the postseason. Hill健康的話會讓太陽更好.如果D'Antoni願意像Popovich使用Horry一樣. 節制 ,並著眼於季後賽 Now, the West is getting even more difficult to escape in April and May, and the Spurs don't appear to be playing games when they insist they want to give last season's players a chance to repeat. There may be a change or two at the end of the bench, but the core will remain. 現在西區在四五月更難打了.但馬刺看起來不像是會有大變動,可能就是在板凳上有一兩 個變動,但主力都還在. It is a noble concept, and historically sound, too. After the Bulls won their first title, 11 of 12 players from the 1991 championship team returned for a successful title defense. Nine of the 11 came back for the 1993 three-peat. 它是一種崇高的理念,歷來穩健.在公牛贏得第一次總冠軍後.12個球員留下了11個. 隔年11個留下了9個.造就了三連霸 The Spurs have paid attention. 馬刺的確注意到了這點 -- 第一次翻 大家多多包涵 謝謝= =b --
