Tristan Thompson named the Cleveland Cavaliers' starting center moving forward

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cleveland Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson will take
over the starting center position from here on out, and Timofey Mozgov will
be relegated to a reserve role.

騎士隊前鋒Tristan Thompson將從現在開始擔任球隊的先發中鋒

而原本的先發中鋒Timofey Mozgov則是被降為替補。


"I just wanted to," Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said of his decision before Monday
night's game against Atlanta.


騎士總教練Tyronn Lue在週一對戰老鷹賽前談到這項決定:「我就是想要這麼做。」


It's safe to say Mozgov's role will be dramatically reduced.

可以肯定地說，Mozgov的作用將會大大的減少。


With the lack of quality big men in today's game, Mozgov has been of little
use. As for his production, he's having one of the worst seasons of his
career in a contract year.

在現今的比賽當中缺乏有質量的長人，而Mozgov的用處也已經不大了

從數據方面來看，他在合約年繳出了職業生涯最糟糕的一季


Thompson provides more versatility on the defensive end in terms of guarding
out on the perimeter, and he's a far better rebounder than Mozgov. But the
7-1 Russian is still the team's best rim protector.

Thompson能夠在外線防守方面提供更多的功能性，且與Mozgov相比

Tristan Thompsn的籃板能力還要更好

但是這位7呎1吋的俄羅斯人依然是球隊中最棒的禁區防守者。


It will be interesting to see how Mozgov handles coming off the bench. He
hasn't been the most confident player this season. Lue is gearing up for a
championship run and at this juncture he has more faith in Thompson

Mozgov究竟要如何來面對從板凳出發的情況，這將會很有趣

在這個賽季，他並不是非常的有自信

總教練Tyronn Lue目前正在備戰季後賽

然而在這個時間點，他對於Thomspon有更多的信心。



附上兩人本季的數據比較
