諾維斯基 本賽季可能是最後的絕唱了

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 a reserve role when the Mavericks signed center DeAndre Jordan in free agency over the summer, considering that he has primarily played center the past two seasons due to what he referred to, with a smile, 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-喬丹後自己會轉爲替補角色，因爲過去兩個賽季他均主打中鋒，而且，他笑着說，“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 is what we're going to roll with, and coach Carlisle has obviously shown over his time here that he's willing to try anything."

一切終歸都是爲了獲勝，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裏證明了他願爲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 and keep 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 the past few years. He, 40, who averaged 12.0 points and 5.7 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per game last season, is likely to be limited at the beginning of training camp as he continues to recover from 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裏，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，他可能還是會因爲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 Carlisle plans to start Jordan at center and rookie Luka Doncic as a playmaking power forward."Dirk knows this, and we've talked about it — that we have to move the franchise forward the right way," 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。因爲卡萊爾計劃讓小喬丹主打中鋒，新秀盧卡-東契奇作爲進攻型的大前鋒。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 outscored opponents 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爲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 appearances off the bench coming during his rookie season in 1998-99. However, the Mavs' rotation has been constructed in recent years for Nowitzki to play extensively with units otherwise featuring 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的新秀賽季裏的，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。
