雙語閱讀｜“過程”現狀調查，我們還能對76人隊有所期待嗎？
作者：SI STAFF
現在整個籃球界都知道76人的計畫了——球隊致力於長期發展，
The basketball community has been aware of the 76ers' plan to stick to the long-term play and allow The Process to become a full-fledged product that takes the NBA by storm. Well, Philadelphia's approach to assets and young big men hasn't looked foolproof as of late.
喬爾-恩比德早早結束了他的賽季；本-西蒙斯傷病報銷；納倫斯-諾埃爾轉會小牛；賈利爾-奧卡福深陷泥潭。如此種種令心有戚戚的旁觀者愁腸寸斷。相較于未來宏偉藍圖，此時的費城實則千瘡百孔。
The premature end to Joel Embiid's season, Ben Simmons injury, Nerlens Noel trade and Jahlil Okafor stalemate have all left close observers scratching their heads. Because there are more questions than answers in Philadelphia at this point, we decided to address a series of issues in order to develop a clearer view of where The Process stands.
Lee Jenkins：諾埃爾去小牛會更好麼？
Lee Jenkins: Is Nerlens Noel better off in Dallas?
那個不被費城重用，一直在恩比德身邊爭取出場時間的諾埃爾，現在去小牛隊打中鋒啦。小牛隊總經理唐尼-尼爾森把他比作“泰森-錢德勒級別的首發隊員”，
Noel has gone from a spare part in Philadelphia, trying to carve out a little air space around Joel Embiid, to a centerpiece in Dallas. “Tyson Chandler starter kit,” Mavericks general manager Donnie Nelson called him, high praise in a place where Chandler once helped Dirk Nowitzki win a championship by setting screens, catching lobs, rolling hard to the rim on one end protecting it on the other. This Noel can do. Had he stayed in Philly, he’d be trying to prove that he can play alongside Embiid, a fruitless pursuit that would have ended with him planted on the bench as a backup to a cult hero. Now, he gets to reprise the Chandler role in Rick Carlisle’s spread-out system, while hoping that Harrison Barnes will eventually channel Dirk.
Chris Ballard：恩比德怎麼成隊內效力時間最長的球員了？
Chris Ballard: How did Joel Embiid become the longest-tenured Sixer?
這個問題得從兩個方面回答。首先時間上恩比德在2014年夏天與球隊簽了第一份合同。雖然缺席了很長時間，但這段日子他同樣是球隊的一員。隨著2013年簽下的諾埃爾遠走達拉斯，
There are two answers to this question. The technical one is that Embiid signed his first contract in the summer of 2014. Sure, he didn’t play, and wouldn’t for a while, but he was a Sixer. And now that Nerlens Noel (signed in the summer of 2013) has been shipped to Dallas, that puts Embiid ahead of other relative graybeards like Robert Covington (November, 2014) as the franchise vet. For the record, Embiid is now out again with a meniscus injury.
而引深這個問題包含的範圍就很廣啦：要涉及到薩姆-辛基的“過程”；亞當-蕭華對擺爛的視而不見；焦慮又大膽的76人老闆；賈利爾-奧卡福的夜店鬥毆；最佳新秀邁克爾-卡特-威廉姆斯的價值；布萊恩-科朗吉洛的操作……各種因素數不勝數。
The second, broader answer could be a book. It involves Sam Hinkie, Adam Silver, bold owners who got cold feet, things that happen outside nightclubs in the wee hours, the relative value of rangy point guards who win Rookie of the Year, a pair of Colangelos, and about fifteen other factors. But, unlike other teams with crazy roster turnover—Ben McLemore is now the longest-tenured King—the Sixers have emerged with a bright future. Almost as if there were some larger plan all along.
Matt Dollinger：布萊恩-科朗吉洛在幹嘛？
Matt Dollinger: What is Bryan Colangelo doing?
我們“過程”的締造者，被人歌頌的薩姆-辛基，被球隊炒了魷魚，現在布萊恩-科朗吉洛取代了他的位置。科朗吉洛是唯一一個公開承認擺爛的球隊經理。“我承認，幾年前我嘗試過擺爛。”科朗吉洛在2015年的MIT斯隆峰會上曾說：“我的意思並不是‘教練，你一定得輸球。’我只是希望球隊可以建立贏球文化，可以側重培養年輕隊員，規劃球隊未來的打法。”【注1】
There’s something poetic about Sam Hinkie, the man fired for brainchilding The Process, being replaced by Bryan Colangelo, the only NBA GM to ever openly admitting to tanking.“Admittedly, I tried to tank a couple of years ago,” Colangelo said about his time with Raptors at the 2015 MIT Sloan conference. “I didn’t come out and say, ‘Coach, you have to lose games.’ I wanted him to establish a winning tradition and culture, but I wanted him to do it in the framework of playing and developing young players.”
譯注1：2010年夏天克裡斯-波什轉投邁阿密，科朗吉洛時任猛龍隊總經理，猛龍後三年戰績：2010-2011賽季22勝60負；2011-2012賽季23勝43負；2012-2013賽季34勝48負，2013年由馬賽-烏傑裡接替其位，至今。
你是不是感覺過去幾年76人就是這個樣兒？恭喜你！都看穿了咱總經理的策略。
If that sounds eerily familiar to what the Sixers have done the last few years, then congratulations, you don’t live under a rock.
所以當科朗吉洛入駐管理層，由他的團隊繼續“過程”時，球迷們一片看衰之聲。費城當地媒體CSN的Philly之前已報導，本-西蒙斯將在本賽季報銷；恩比德今年也不會在出場了；球隊交易走了一張好牌（諾埃爾），換來了一些普通的籌碼，還幾乎白送了老將艾森-伊利亞索瓦。
So while everyone wants to scream that The Process is over now that Colangelo is in office, I see it as a continuation under new management. Philly preemptively shut down Ben Simmons for the entire season. Joel Embiid may not play again this year. The team traded away one of its best pieces (Nerlens Noel) for a jar of walnuts and gave away another veteran (Ersan Ilyasova) for not much else.
所以科朗吉洛的76人會繼續擺爛麼？當然會，革命道路不會改變。Philly對球隊未來的選秀已經不抱什麼希望了。或許恩比德和西蒙斯可以保持健康；或許未來球隊還會得到一兩個青年才俊，在2020年重新崛起？在或者……曇花一逝杳無聲？人們已經開始相信辛基的“過程”，但你會相信科朗吉洛麼？
So are the 76ers still tanking under Bryan Colangelo? Of course they are! Nothing has changed. Philly is still hopelessly at the mercy of ping-pong balls. Maybe Ben Simmons and Embiid get healthy. Maybe the 76ers get another lottery stud (or two) and morph into a contender by 2020. Or… maybe not. You might have trusted The Process under Hinkie, but do you trust it under Colangelo?
Jeremy Woo：缺席了一個賽季，如何預測下本-西蒙斯的未來？
Jeremy Woo: What are we to make of Ben Simmons’s lost season?
洗冷水澡，洗熱水澡，養貓，失去了媒體關注，生活也沒什麼籃球的事兒，在狀元郎遭遇了腳部傷病後，以上這些就是他這一年的寫照。好啦，別這樣，西蒙斯還在呢。但是，他也沒上場打球啊！從他右腳骨折的那一刻起，我們就知道他要經歷一個redshirt year【注2】了。像之前處理恩比德的兩次傷病一樣，球隊做出了賽季報銷的正確決定。但是腳部傷勢比較棘手，在未來的時間裡它會反復困擾運動員，因此西蒙斯的生涯也蒙上了一絲陰影。
It was a season of injured feet, raising cats, cold tubs, hot tubs, lost hype and very little basketball for last year’s No.1 overall pick. No, Ben Simmons is not dead, but no, he’s also not playing this season. You could smell the redshirt year coming from the minute he fractured his right foot, and just like what happened with Joel Embiid (twice), the Sixers made the objectively correct decision. But foot injuries suck, and they nag and re-occur, and as such, there’s at least a little reason for concern here.
譯注2：大學運動中的“Redshirt”規則：他們不能上場，但他們仍然是球隊的一部分。
西蒙斯依舊有著過人的天賦，他有機會將球隊提升到另一個層次。但在他缺陣期間，我們在舞臺中央看到了另一個有著相似技能包，才華橫溢的前鋒——達裡奧-沙裡奇。隊中恩比德的健康問題已經甚囂塵上，很有可能他生涯的大部分時間都將在上場和休戰間不斷變換。令人些許失望的是，西蒙斯的跳投問題沒有絲毫進展，可是，兄弟！就是這樣的投籃，再看到還得再等8個月呢。他的作用不僅僅是得分，還包括對場上的積極影響。好消息是至少在西蒙斯身邊有了幾個好幫手。可是隨著潛力滿滿的76人黑雲壓城，這一切都顯得不那麼重要了。
Simmons remains a stellar talent with a chance to help take the franchise up a notch, but in his absence, we’ve seen another gifted forward with a somewhat analogous skill set take center stage: Dario Saric. Embiid’s health is back up in the air, as it realistically might be, on-and-off, for much of his career. It’s a little discouraging that Simmons doesn’t appear to have restructured his jumper at all, but hey, there are probably another eight months before we even see what he looks like out there. His game is based on facilitation more than scoring, and the good news is that there are at least a few real pieces around him. As potential Sixers crises go, this is one that can stay on the backburner for now.
Jake Fischer：截止日期前球隊的交易有多差？
Jake Fischer: How bad was the 76ers' trade deadline?
“我之前常說我是不會做出差勁的運作的，就在昨天，我們就做了一筆最棒的交易。” 在76人新澤西卡姆登的訓練場上，布萊恩-科朗吉洛盡力解釋著。球隊把諾埃爾送去小牛，換來了賈斯汀-安德森，還有一個受保護的首輪選秀權（很可能最後得到2017和2020年兩個次輪選秀權）。對於這樣的交易，任何說辭都是蒼白無力的。
“I've often said I wouldn't make a bad deal,” Bryan Colangelo tried explaining at the Sixers’ Camden, N.J. practice facility last Friday. “But yesterday, I made the best deal." No clarification could truly defend his dealing of Nerlens Noel to the Dallas Mavericks for Justin Anderson and “draft considerations,” that will assuredly become a 2017 and 2020 second round pick.
這個休賽期諾埃爾會成為一名受限制的自由球員，屆時他一定會索取一份首發級別的合同，而對於圍繞恩比德建隊的76人來說，這筆支出顯然不在球隊的薪資計畫之內。要知道對面的恩比德可有著最頂級的天賦，一個7尺2的內線巨獸……當然，他過去缺席了2個賽季，本賽季只打了31場比賽。
Colangelo offered that Noel was going to command starter-level salary as a restricted free agent this off-season, and those dollars simply didn’t fit into the Sixers’ cap figure when building a team around Joel Embiid at center. A worldly-talented, 7’2 behemoth… who has missed two seasons and likely won’t play more than 31 games this season.
賈利爾-奧卡福同樣不是隊中內線的可靠人選。科朗吉洛又在交易後補充說，類似諾埃爾的“淮南為橘”，他準備換走這位從杜克走出的新秀，希望可以為球隊得到一名首發球員，好吧，如此操作確實高度肯定了恩比德的能力，但這樣的想法實在是紙上談兵，空中樓閣。本賽季剩下的比賽球隊已經失去了恩比德，而諾埃爾是NBA歷史上唯一一名20歲場均拿到1.5蓋帽和1.5搶斷的球員，科朗吉洛就這樣把他交易了。而且得到的回報竟然和交易伊利亞索瓦得到的一樣多哦……
Jahlil Okafor isn’t the team’s fail-safe at the position either, as Colangelo later added he hoped to one day soon trade the Duke product into a starting role similar to Noel’s greener pastures in Dallas. It’s a bold sacrifice that is highly complimentary of Embiid’s skillset, yet utterly devoid of pragmatism. And with Embiid out the rest of the season, Colangelo dealt the only 20-year-old in NBA history to average 1.5 blocks and 1.5 steals per game for the same return as trading Ersan Ilyasova.
