這個休賽季,老鷹隊簽下了上賽季效力於爵士隊的 Paul Millsap,身高6尺8寸的
Millsap將在下個賽季成為老鷹隊的先發大前鋒,這也意味著 Al Horford將打中鋒。
"I was hoping to play more in the power forward position," Horford said.
"We couldn't work things out with Zaza (Pachulia) and he had to leave.
I understand that now I have to go play some center. I would like to play a
little more power forward. I was talking to coach (Mike Budenholzer) and the
way that the offense works, the 4 and the 5 are pretty much interchangeable.
I feel like Paul and I will be able to complement each other.
「我曾經希望能夠打更多的大前鋒,」 Horford說道,
「當 Zaza Pachulia在的時候,我們就不能解決一些問題,所以他就離開了。
我明白我現在必須打一些中鋒的時間,我更願意打一些大前鋒。
我和教練(Mike Budenholzer)說過這個,以及進攻端的一些事,
4號位和5號位是可以更換的。我感覺 Paul和我會互相彌補。」
"Having to guard the big 5 night in and night out, I felt took a toll on me
so I'm hoping they will be able to find a big body, a big player to be able
to help. For sure, there is still some (roster) building to be done."
「如果每個晚上都必須去防對方的5號位,這會讓我有所損耗,
所以我希望他們能夠找到一個大個子,一個可以給予幫助的大個子。
可以肯定的是,球隊的陣容還需要繼續建設。」
值得一提的是, Horford這個夏天不會代表多明尼加國家隊參加比賽。
