At the same time Zach LaVine returns, Nikola Mirotic might be heading out
內容：
The dates are starting to match up almost too perfectly for the Bulls.
LaVine回歸後對公牛來說是完美的時機去處理Nikola Mirotic的去留
Right around the time guard Zach LaVine is scheduled to rejoin the team,
forward Nikola Mirotic might be ready to tape up his cardboard boxes, empty
his locker and hang up his Bulls jersey for the last time.
當後衛Zach LaVine已經被計畫重新加入隊伍,前鋒Nikola Mirotic可能就要準備好他的
紙箱、清空他的休息室以及最後一次披上公牛的球衣
The Sun-Times reported last week that Mirotic and his representatives are
standing firm on his trade request and that he is willing to waive the
no-trade clause in his contract when he’s eligible to be dealt Jan. 15.
“太陽時報”上週報導說，Mirotic和他的代表在交易請求中仍堅持交易，他願意在
1月15日有資格獲得交易時放棄合同中的無交易條款。
Playoff-hopeful teams such as the Raptors, 76ers, Knicks, Thunder, Bucks and
Spurs could use outside-shooting help, and Mirotic is taking 6.3
three-pointers a game and making a team-leading 46 percent of his them.
如暴龍隊，76人隊，尼克隊，雷霆隊，公鹿隊和馬刺隊這樣有希望進季後賽的球隊可以
藉用他的外線投籃來幫助球隊，Mirotic每場出手了6.3次三分球，並且有46%的三分命中率
領先全隊
While trading Mirotic would be a big blow to the Bulls’ recent winning ways
— they are 10-5 with him in the rotation and 3-20 without him — it also
would better fit what the front office wants from this season. To management,
this season always has been about playing with effort and developing the
young core while at the same time giving the franchise the best chance to
qualify for and win the lottery.
而交易Mirotic對公牛隊最近的勝利方式是一個很大的打擊 - 當他在輪換陣容中是10勝5敗
，沒有他的時候是3勝20敗。此外有Mirotic在也能更好地適應本賽季前場的需求。 對於管
理層來說，這個賽季已經一直在努力和發展年輕的核心，同時給予球隊最佳的機會贏得樂
透區的選秀。
Making coach Fred Hoiberg’s job easier isn’t even a thought. If the Bulls
are able to get the return they want for Mirotic, the roster is in for a
drastic face-lift.
教練Fred Hoiberg的工作不會是想像中的容易。 如果公牛隊能夠得到從Mirotic交易想要
的回報，那麼這個球隊名單是一個大大的改頭換面。
Mirotic has been a key factor in the mostly stellar play of the second unit
and is one of the players Hoiberg uses in his closing group. His rotation of
big men — Mirotic, Robin Lopez, Lauri Markkanen and Bobby Portis — would be
a man short and likely would result in more minutes for struggling Cristiano
Felicio.
Mirotic一直是第二陣容中最為出色的一個關鍵因素，也是Hoiberg在最近比賽使用組合的
球員之一。他的長人輪換陣容-Mirotic，Robin Lopez，Lauri Markkanen和Bobby Portis
其中如果缺少一人，會造成Cristiano Felicio在場上有更多掙扎的表現。
Then factor in Hoiberg having to find enough minutes for a suddenly crowded
backcourt with LaVine close to returning. LaVine, who is in the final stages
in his rehab for a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee,
completed his sixth consecutive practice Thursday and will travel with the
team to Dallas and Indiana on Friday and Saturday. If he has no setbacks, he
will meet with coaches, trainers, doctors and the front office Monday to set
a date for his Bulls debut.
然後，Hoiberg不得不尋找足夠的時間，去處理LaVine回歸後擁擠的後場陣容。正在進行
左膝前十字韌帶修復最後階段的LaVine，週四完成了他的第六次連續練習，並將在周五和
周六與球隊一同前往達拉斯和印第安納州。如果他沒有任何問題，他將在周一與教練，訓
練員，醫生和工作人員會面，為他的復出設定日期。
Sliding LaVine into the shooting-guard spot means Justin Holiday likely will
move to the wing and Denzel Valentine to the bench. And what will it mean to
spark plug David Nwaba?
將LaVine放入得分後衛位置意味著Justin Holiday可能會轉移到側翼，Denzel Valentine
將成為替補。 那麼最近很多上場時間的David Nwaba將要放到哪裡？
The one player Hoiberg thinks will benefit most from having LaVine alongside
him is point guard Kris Dunn. Yes, LaVine likes to have the ball in his
hands, but Hoiberg said he isn’t worried about the two coexisting.
Hoiberg認為最有利的方式是LaVine搭上控衛Kris Dunn。 是的，LaVine是個愛持球進攻
的球員，但是Hoiberg說他並不擔心這兩個並存。
’[Zach is] a natural shooting guard, where Kris is the guy who obviously
has the ball in his hands a lot,’ Hoiberg said. ‘‘Kris has shown a very
good feel for throwing the ball ahead and getting our fast break started
where we can attack on the wings, and I think that’s what Zach brings as
much as anything. [He is] a type of player that is a guy on the throw-ahead,
can attack the basket, shoot the three in transition.
Hoiberg說：“Zach是一名天生的得分後衛，Kris是那個明顯擁有球權的球員。 “
Kris已經表現出很好的投籃感覺，而且讓我們的快攻開始可以從側翼攻擊，我認為Zach可
以帶來夠多的東西。在攻守轉換中他是一名隨時可投籃，可以攻擊籃筐，可以投三分的球
員。
‘‘He can do a lot of things, so I think Kris and Zach complement each other
a lot.’’
“他可以做很多事情，所以我認為Kris和Zach是能夠非常補足彼此。”
心得:
Mirotic最近應該真的是在商品展示, LaVine回歸後後場應該就是跟Kris Dunn搭了
