Who Should Be Kyrie Irving’s Main Back Up At The Point?

誰該成為Kyrie Irving的第一替補？

Just last week, Cleveland Cavaliers head coach David Blatt said that Kyrie
Irving would be returning to the court very soon, potentially on their
two-game road trip. Irving did not suit up Friday night against the Orlando
Magic and now reports are out that he will likely not be hitting the floor
on Tuesday night against the Boston Celtics as well.

就在上週，克里夫蘭騎士的總教練David Blatt表示Kyrie Irving很快就會回到球場上，
也許是在他們的連兩場客場比賽中上場。結果Irving沒有在星期五晚上對奧蘭多魔術的
比賽中整裝待發，甚至有報導指出他在星期二晚上對波士頓賽爾提克的比賽中也不太可
能上場。

According to several reports, Irving is ready to play from a physical and
mental standpoint, but the team is remaining cautious and do not want to
rush him back. Irving has not seen in game action since Game 1 of the NBA
Finals last June. However, with his return imminent, who should be his main
backup once he’s back in the starting lineup?

根據幾個報導，Irving已經在身心方面都做好上場的準備，但球隊依舊謹慎，避免馬上
推他上場。Irving已經從六月份的NBA第一場決賽缺席到現在。但是，就在他即將復出成
為先發的同時，誰又要當他最主要的替補呢？

The Cavaliers actually have a really good situation when it comes to their
point guards. Matthew Dellavedova emerged as a very key contributor on the
defensive side of the ball during last year’s NBA Finals and has proven this
year that he can also contribute on the offensive end. This past offseason,
the Cavaliers brought back former All-Star point guard, Mo Williams. While
Dellavedova is brought in primarily for his defensive prowess, Williams is
known for his scoring ability. Last season, he dropped a career-high 52
points in a game with the Timberwolves. Even after Irving makes his return
to the starting lineup, the team will still have two really solid point
guards on the bench.

論控球後衛，騎士隊實際上有很好的可用之才。Matthew Dellavedova從上季的決賽開始
就成為了重要的防守成員，這季還證明了他在進攻端上的能力。上一個休賽期，騎士帶回
了前全明星控球後衛Mo Williams。當Dellavedova一般被視為一個防守專才時，Williams
則是有名的得分能手。上季，他在一場灰狼的比賽中創下生涯新高的52分。即使Irving要
回到先發陣容，隊伍的板凳上依舊擁有兩個可靠的控球後衛。

But after Kyrie Irving, Williams should be the clear number two choice when
Irving is subbed out. His scoring ability gives the Cavs such a huge boost
and he has been one of their most consistent players so far this season.
Additionally, Williams has played with the first team so you can throw him
in with different lineups, first or second string.

但是在Kyrie Irving回歸後，Williams必須在Irving被換下場時擔任候補。他的得分
能力可以大幅增強騎士隊，而且他在這季也是隊上最穩定的球員之一。此外，Williams
還進過先發陣容，所以你可以讓他在不同的陣容中擔任先發或替補。

Dellavedova also has played with the first team last season, so really both
players can be interchangeable with different lineups. Dellavedova would be
better suited as the team’s third string point guard, but he should still
get consistent minutes because of his tenacity on the defensive end. Imagine
the gritty Dellavedova, fresh off the bench harassing an already worn out
guard from the opposing team, preparing him for the finishing blow to be
delivered by Irving.

Dellavedova上季也進過先發陣容，所以實際上兩個球員在不同的陣容中都可以互換。
Dellavedova也許比較適合第三順位的位置，但也必須給予他固定的上場時間，讓他發揮
防守端的韌性。想像一下堅韌不拔的Dellavedova跳出板凳，消耗已經疲憊的對手後衛，以
便Irving最後給出致命一擊...

What could potentially cause problems for other teams is the fact that
Cleveland has the ability to use two point guard sets in their lineups.
Whether they use a combination of Irving and Williams, or Irving and
Dellavedova, or Williams and Dellavedova, they can create havoc for opposing
teams. Since both backup point guards are familiar with the first team and
second team, there is a plethora of lineups that Blatt could use.

最有可能讓其他球隊頭痛的點是：克里夫蘭有能力在他們的陣容裡使用兩種控球後衛的
組合。無論他們使用Irving加Williams、Irving加Dellavedova、或Williams和
Dellavedova，他們都可以打亂敵隊的步調。由於兩個候補的控球後衛都熟悉於打先發和
替補，Blatt有很多的陣容可以選擇。

A big advantage of having two point guards on the floor is that they could
have Williams or Dellavedova bring the ball up the court, while Irving plays
off ball. NBA experts and fans alike know that Irving can do just as much
damage without the ball in his hands just as much as he can when he is
handling the ball. Something like this can help Irving save his energy for
the latter stages of games, which would be important if a game is close
going into the fourth quarter. With Irving and Williams on the floor
together, that provides a scoring boost because both players have such a
natural ability to score.

兩個控球後衛在場上可以帶來巨大的優勢：Williams或Dellavedova可以帶球過場，而
Irving則無球。NBA專家和球迷知道Irving不管有沒有球在手上都能發揮巨大的作用。
這樣可以幫助Irving為比賽後期節省力氣，這在第四節比分接近時更顯重要。當Irving和
Williams同時在場上時，他們天生的得分能力將為球隊灌入相當多的分數。

For the Cavaliers, their point guard situation is a very good problem to
have, but for their opponents, it is a terrible dilemma.

對於騎士來說，能有機會「煩惱」該讓誰上場是再好不過了，但對其他隊來說，這是個
恐怖的兩難。
