　　卡萊爾教練說達拉斯獨行俠招牌人物德克·諾維茨基可能在生涯最後一個賽季替補出場。

　　Nowitzki said that he anticipated transitioning to areserve role when the Mavericks signed centerDeAndre Jordan in free agency over the summer, considering that he has primarily played center thepast two seasons due to what he referred to, with asmile, as "movement issues."

　　諾維茨基說他預計獨行俠今年夏天簽下中鋒德安德魯-喬丹後自己會轉為替補角色，因為過去兩個賽季他均主打中鋒，而且，他笑著說，“移動速度跟不上了。”

　　"It's all about winning, at the end of the day. Whatever puts us in the best position to win iswhat we're going to roll with, and coach Carlisle has obviously shown over his time here thathe's willing to try anything."

　　一切終歸都是為了獲勝，只要能夠奪冠，我們願意付出一切。而且主教練卡萊爾也在他的執教生涯裡證明了他願為球隊獲勝嘗試任何事情。

　　"If that's the case, and I'm coming off the bench, we better keep [an exercise] bike ready andkeep a couple of massage therapists in the back, and I'll be ready to go."

　　如果需要的話，我並不介意打替補。但我們最好先把動感單車和理療按摩師都安排好，這樣，我就隨時可以披掛上陣了。

　　Nowitzki, who ranks sixth in NBA history with 31,187 points, has been open to the idea for thepast few years. He, 40, who averaged 12.0 points and 5.7 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per gamelast season, is likely to be limited at the beginning of training camp as he continues to recoverfrom spring ankle surgery.

　　諾維茨基在NBA歷史得分榜以31187分高居第六位，但在過去的幾個賽季裡，德克已經不在刻意地去砍分了，四十歲的他在上個賽季場均出場24.7分鐘，貢獻12.0分和5.7個籃板。但在訓練營開始的時候，他可能還是會因為今年春天的腳踝手術而受到影響。

　　Nowitzki's transition to the bench would have made sense regardless of his health, as Carlisleplans to start Jordan at center and rookie Luka Doncic as a playmaking power forward."Dirkknows this, and we've talked about it — that we have to move the franchise forward the rightway," Carlisle said.

　　不管諾維茨基的健康狀況如何，讓他坐到替補席都是有意義的。因為卡萊爾計劃讓小喬丹主打中鋒，新秀盧卡-東契奇作為進攻型的大前鋒。卡萊爾說：“這些德克都明白，而且我們探討過——我們必須讓球隊以正確的方向前進”。

　　That lineup was by far the Mavs' most successful last season, as a 24-win Dallas team outscoredopponents by 19.4 points per 100 possessions when Nowitzki was on the floor with reserves J.J. Barea, Yogi Ferrell, Devin Harris and Dwight Powell, all of whom with the exception of Ferrell are still on the Mavs' roster.

　　上賽季的陣容是目前為止獨行俠最成功的陣容，常規賽僅取得24勝的獨行俠在諾維茨基、J.J.巴里亞、尤吉-費雷爾、德文-哈里斯和德懷特-鮑威爾同時在場時，每百回合淨勝對手19.4分。本賽季，除了費雷爾之外，其餘關鍵隊員都還都在小牛的陣容名單上。

　　Nowitzki has started all but 31 of his 1,471 games, with the vast majority of his appearancesoff the bench coming during his rookie season in 1998-99. However, the Mavs' rotation hasbeen constructed in recent years for Nowitzki to play extensively with units otherwisefeaturing all reserves.

　　諾維茨基所有1471場比賽中，除了31場擔任替補外，全部首發登場，而這31場比賽大部分是在1998-99的新秀賽季裡的，而獨行俠最近幾年的輪換還是圍繞諾維茨基建立，以便讓所有的替補球員都能發揮作用。

　　當地時間9月22日，凱里·歐文接受了知名NBA記者Jackie MacMullan的採訪。談到了去年的手術、今年的恢復以及未來自己的發展。

　　Last season, Irving gutted through persistent soreness and irritation caused by hardware from a 2015 surgery to repair a broken kneecap. He was forced to shut it down in March, underwent two additional surgeries, then spent much of his offseason methodically fine-tuning that left knee to the point where he believes he is the healthiest and strongest he's been in three years.

　　2015年，歐文接受了膝蓋骨手術，當時醫生在他的傷處植入鋼板作為輔助。上賽季，這個鐵片給歐文造成持續不斷的疼痛，最終在三月份，他選擇終止該療法，又進行了兩場手術。而這個休賽期，歐文一直按部就班地恢復左膝，一心要達到著過去三年中最健康、最強大的狀態。

　　"Because of who we have," Irving answered, "and what we're establishing here, not just for this season, but for hopefully for the next few years, something that's pretty special.

　　“因為我們是凱爾特人，”歐文答道。“我們現在打造的東西，不只是著眼於當前賽季，而是希望它能有長達數年的影響力，讓它、讓我們都成為極特殊的存在。”

　　"I've played against Golden State in three straight Finals 2015-17 — two that I was able to participate in — and seeing them evolve, with the talent they have, and then adding DeMarcus Cousins this offseason, it's like 'OK, the whole league is on notice.'

　　“我跟金州勇士打了三個總決賽2015-17，其中我完全出場的有兩次——看著他們一步步進化，不斷累積天賦，現在又得到了德馬庫斯-考辛斯，我就想‘好了，這回全聯盟都盯著他們了。”

　　"But there's one factor that they're aware of, and I'm aware of, and that's that I've seen them up close. I've played them so many times. We've gone in a seven-game series when he was in Cleveland, so I know what it takes.

　　“但有一個事情，他們清楚，我也清楚，那就是——我跟他們正面交手過。我們打了這麼多系列賽，甚至打過搶七，我很瞭解怎麼才能打敗勇士。”

　　"Who wouldn't be a part of this?" Irving said, gesturing to Boston's new practice facility. "Whowouldn't want to be a part of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum and Al Horford and GordonHayward? People keep saying, 'Why won't he commit to Boston?' "Well, there are financialimplications involved."

　　“誰不想成為這支凱爾特人的一份子呢?”歐文一邊說著，一邊指向波士頓的全新訓練館。“有杰倫-布朗、傑森-塔圖姆、艾爾-霍福德還有戈登-海沃德，誰不想跟他們做隊友?人們老是問，‘為什麼歐文就是不願承諾續約?’嗯，我想說這裡面還是有金錢因素的。”

　　"Last year it was almost like a trial. There was a lot going on. It was overwhelming at times, to be honest. The focus needed to be directed on getting better and helping my new team win achampionship, instead of focusing on all the outside noise regarding his departure fromCleveland that affected me personally.

　　“去年差不多算是試驗期吧，而且發生了太多太多的事情，有時候甚至快讓人無法承受。我的注意力必須時刻保持在提高自己、幫助球隊奪冠這方面，而非場外那些針對歐文離開騎士可能影響到我的雜音。”

　　"It only affects me when it affects my teammates. I keep them abreast of everything. We needto be communicating like that, because there are very few years where you get a chance to be achampionship team — unless you are Golden State."

　　“那些言論影響到我隊友的時候，我才會對其作出迴應，我們永遠共進共退。隊友之間必須保持溝通，因為球隊的奪冠機會只有很短的幾年——除非你是金州勇士。”

　　Irving acknowledged there is a logjam of talent at some positions on the Celtics roster and saidhealthy competition will only push them harder. "The drive for greatness, the drive to win achampionship, that's all I care about," he said. "The rest of it doesn't matter."

　　歐文承認，凱爾特人的幾個位置上人才儲備十分深厚，而健康積極的競爭只會讓球員們更加努力。“追求偉大、追求冠軍，這是我唯一關心的，”他說。“剩下的都不重要。”
