Patrick McCaw requests to go to Warriors’ G-League affiliate
McCaw請求下放G-league
OAKLAND — Sensing his shot and overall performance have waned, Warriors
reserve guard Patrick McCaw requested to be sent to the Warriors’ G-League
affiliate in between the team’s next two home games.
感覺到投球跟整體表現有些衰退，勇士替補後衛McCaw請求在接下來的兩場主場戰之間，
可以下放到勇士G-league隊伍去。
Coach Steve Kerr obliged, meaning McCaw will suit up for Santa Cruz against
the Texas Legends on Friday and the South Bay Lakers on Sunday night. He will
still be with the Warriors for Thursday’s game against Dallas and Saturday’
s showdown against San Antonio.
教練Kerr也同意他的請求，代表McCaw會在星期五跟星期日代表勇士G-league隊伍Santa
Cruz分別與Texas Legends及South Bay Lakers對戰。星期四勇士對戰Dallas跟星期六對戰
San Antonio時，McCaw還是會隨隊。
The move gives McCaw an opportunity to get major minutes that he wouldn’t
get otherwise. With the Warriors, his playing time has been sporadic. McCaw
hasn’t scored since Jan. 23 against New York, seven games ago. He has not
hit a 3-pointer since the calendar turned to 2018.
下放讓McCaw有機會可以得到比較多的上場時間，隨著勇士出賽，他上場機會時有時無。
McCaw在1/23與New York比賽之後到現在已經七場未得分，在2018年開始到現在沒投進任何
一個三分球。
“I think it’ll be great for him to get some shots,” Kerr said. “Most
games he only gets a couple shots up and he plays limited minutes so it’s
hard to emerge from, if you want to call it, a slump or a funk.”
「我認為讓他去投進一些球對他來說會是很棒的事，」Kerr說。「大部分比賽他只能投幾
顆球，打短短的時間，所以若是要從所謂的"低潮"爬出來的話，會有點困難。」
Said McCaw: “If I’m missing, I’ll figure out why I’m missing them and I’
m putting the reps up in practice and shootaround. I feel comfortable with my
shot,” McCaw said. “It’s nothing about me having a bad shot, it’s about
getting those reps and getting those shots up just so I can get a feel for my
release and shots that I’ll be able to take in the game.”
McCaw說：「如果我投不進球，我會想辦法了解為甚麼我會投不進，然後在我的練習跟投籃
練習的時候增加訓練。我對我的投球有信心。」McCaw說。「這不代表我的投球變差了，這
只是要讓我有機會練習，有機會投球，所以我可以去感覺我的出手狀況，我才能把那樣的
感覺帶進比賽。」
In 2016, the Warriors paid $2.5 million for his rights from the Milwaukee
Bucks in a draft-day trade. McCaw returned the favor in his rookie season,
specifically in Game 2 of the 2017 Western Conference finals when he scored a
career-high 18 points off the bench. That cemented his status as a valuable
piece for the future.
勇士在2016年，用250萬鎂在選秀那天跟Milwaukee買來McCaw，McCaw也在菜鳥年用優異的
表現回報，尤其是2017年西決第二戰他從板凳出發，得了生涯新高18分，也確定了他在勇
士的地位。
This season, with the offseason signing of Nick Young, McCaw has battled for
minutes at backup shooting guard.
然而在這一季，勇士簽了老尖，McCaw變得得競爭替補後衛上場時間了。
After a Nov. 2, 2017, win over the San Antonio Spurs, Kerr proclaimed McCaw
the firm backup shooting guard. However, McCaw’s minutes began to drop yet
again in favor of Young. With his latest slump, McCaw acknowledged he was
putting undue pressure on himself.
2017年11/2，勇士擊敗馬刺後，教練Kerr宣告McCaw將會是主要的替補後衛，然而，McCaw
上場的時間卻越來越少，老尖的時間越來越多。在這次的低潮，McCaw了解到，他給自己太
多的壓力了。
“I’m an infectious guy, I don’t like to make mistakes,” McCaw said. “
Having that on my shoulders as well as trying to make sure I do the right
thing. Just trying to find a balance within myself and my mind when I’m on
the floor.”
「我是個有感染力的球員，我不喜歡犯錯，」McCaw說。「想到這些的壓力跟想要確定我做
對的事情，當我到場上時，我必須要去找到一個平衡。」
Complicating McCaw’s situation is his impending restricted free agency.
Depending on how he finishes out the year, this second-year slump could hurt
his stock.
讓McCaw的狀況更加複雜的是他即將到來受限自由球員約。根據他最後表現結果，目前的低
潮有可能會讓他的賣相稍差。
Still, McCaw says he remains unfazed by what the future holds.
然而，McCaw對他的未來不為所動。
“I don’t really pay attention,” McCaw said. “For me it’s about finding
that rhythm, finding that flow again and that’s all I’m really concerned
with right now.”
「我沒什麼在注意那個，」McCaw說。「對我來說，現在就是找到那個節奏，然後跟著節奏
走，那是我現在最關心的事。」
