On if it’s a trip to the NBA Finals this season or disappointment:
老鷹隊GM Travis Schlenk被問到若新賽季沒有闖進總決賽是否會感到失望
“No, that’s certainly not (the case). Listen, it’s really hard to get to
the NBA Finals. Obviously, one team can’t get there every year. For us, thi
s year, the expectations, and I think I said this in the summer at least to
a few of you, going into this season, we obviously want to be very competiti
ve and build off last year, but I think you’re living in a little bit of a
fantasy world if you think you’re going to the Eastern Conference finals or
(NBA) Finals every year, even if you are a very good team. So for us, our g
oal is to be back in the playoffs, hopefully have homecourt advantage this t
ime around in the playoffs, and once we get there, whether or not we have ho
mecourt or not, to go out there and make some noise like we did last year.
當然不會，進總決賽是一件很難的事情，每個賽季只有兩個球隊能做到。 顯然我們的球
隊不會每年都達到那種水準，我們當然希望能夠保持競爭性延續上賽季的氣勢如果，你
覺得自己每年都能打進東區決賽或NBA總決賽，就算你是一支非常優秀的球隊，那你就有
點活在自我幻想世界裡了。 所以對我們來說，我們的目標是重返季後賽，希望這次在季
後賽中擁有主場優勢，無論我們是否擁有主場，我們都要像去年做的那樣
“For us, we’re still a young team. Obviously we’ve sprinkled in some vete
rans the last couple years, and we feel good about our team, but you have to
get some breaks in the playoffs. Last year, as I’ve said before, we got Ph
illy with Joel (Embiid on one leg), so that was helpful. In 2015 when I was
still with Golden State, the first time we won it, I think we played teams t
hat were missing players, and people said we got lucky, but that’s fine. We
won a championship getting lucky, and you need to get lucky.”
對我們來說，我們仍然是一支年輕的球隊。 很明顯，我們在過去幾年裡有一些老將，我
們對我們的球隊感覺很好，但你必須在季后賽中得到一些休息。 去年，就像我之前說的
，我們上賽季戰勝了76人，但當時的Embiid只有一條腿。，所以2015年，當我還在金州
勇士隊的時候，我們第一次贏得冠軍，外界很多人都說我們是靠對手缺兵少將，人們都
說我們很幸運，但這沒什麼不好。 我們靠運氣贏得了總冠軍，贏得冠軍總是需要一點運
氣 。
