總經理尼科-哈里森（Nico Harrison）還通過精心策劃的交易和簽約增加了球隊的深度，這一切都是為了圍繞盧卡（Luka）這對歷史上強大的進攻組合進行建設。

昆廷-格蘭姆斯（Quentin Grimes）通過交易市場和納吉-馬歇爾（Najee Marshall）通過自由球員市場支撐起了達拉斯的防守。

Keep it locked to see why these moves position the Mavs as a Herculean 2025 contender in a Western conference which they just won.

請繼續鎖定我們的報道，看看為什麼這些舉動會讓騎士隊在剛剛奪冠的西部聯盟中成為 2025 年的有力競爭者。

First let's get to disentangling Klay Thompson's 0-for-10 shooting performance against the

首先，讓我們來分析一下克萊-湯普森在對陣勇士隊時 10 投 0 中的表現。

Sacramento Kings back in the play-in tournament.

薩克拉門託國王隊重返附加賽。

This showing undoubtedly hurt Klay's reputation, raising questions from fans about Thompson's dependability in critical junctures.

這樣的表現無疑傷害了克萊的聲譽，讓球迷質疑湯普森在關鍵時刻的可靠性。

Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy opted not to re-sign Klay and instead initiate the NBA's first ever six-team sign-and-trade deal where Dallas sent Josh Green and two second-round picks to the Hornets, while Buddy Heald and Kyle Anderson ended up in Golden State, and Dallas received both a second-round pick and Thompson.

勇士隊總經理邁克-鄧利維沒有選擇與克萊續簽，而是啟動了NBA史上第一筆六隊先簽後換的交易，達拉斯人將約什-格林和兩個次輪選秀權送到黃蜂隊，而巴迪-希爾德和凱爾-安德森最終加盟金州勇士隊，達拉斯人得到一個次輪選秀權和湯普森。

Klay's new deal with the Mavs is worth $50 million over three years, and Klay would classily profess his admiration for the Warriors' seven-time championship-winning organization in an Instagram post with the caption reading,

克萊與水花兄弟的新合同為期三年，價值 5000 萬美元。克萊在 Instagram 上發表了一篇文章，配文寫道："我對勇士隊的七次總冠軍欽佩不已、

Oh Bay Area, there are not enough words and images to convey how I really feel about y'all.

哦，灣區，沒有足夠的語言和影像來表達我對你們的真實感受。

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for the best times of my life.

我由衷地感謝你們給了我生命中最美好的時光。

It was such an honor to put that Dubs jersey on from day one.

能從第一天起就穿上杜布斯堡隊的球衣，我感到非常榮幸。

I really just wanted to be the best I could be and help bring as many championships as possible to the region.

我真的只想做最好的自己，儘可能多地為該地區帶來冠軍。

The best part was not the rings though, it was the friendships I made that will last a lifetime.

不過，最棒的部分不是戒指，而是我結下的友誼，這種友誼將終生難忘。

My family and I would like to thank all the amazing people who work tirelessly to make the Warriors organization world-class.

我和我的家人要感謝所有為使勇士隊成為世界級組織而不懈努力的了不起的人們。

Don't be sad it's over, be happy it happened.

不要為它的結束而悲傷，要為它的發生而高興。

Until we meet again, C-Captain out.

直到我們再次相見，C 隊長退下。

As classy as that statement from Thompson was, last year, reports surfaced that he grew frustrated with the Warriors' front office after they didn't re-sign him to a four-year extension in 2023 summer.

儘管湯普森的這番表態很有風度，但去年有報道稱，由於勇士前鋒辦公室沒有在 2023 年夏天與他續簽一份為期四年的合同，湯普森對勇士前鋒辦公室感到非常沮喪。

Reports also came out that Klay was quote-unquote miserable after having his starting spot taken away by rookie Brandon Pajemski.

還有報道稱，克萊在被新秀布蘭登-帕耶姆斯基搶走首發位置後非常痛苦。

Having said that, with the C-Captain setting sail for Dallas, to truly assess the value

儘管如此，隨著 C 型船長起航前往達拉斯，要真正評估其價值

Thompson brings to the Mavericks, it's essential to evaluate his career as a whole.

湯普森給小牛隊帶來了什麼，必須對他的職業生涯進行整體評估。

Thompson's overall career achievements highlight just how special a weapon the Mavericks are adding.

湯普森職業生涯的整體成就凸顯了小牛隊新添的武器有多麼特別。

And as we'll get to, he still has a ton left in the tank.

而且，正如我們將要談到的，他還有很大的潛力。

A five-time NBA All-Star, four-time NBA Champion, two-time All-NBA player, and one-time All-Defensive

五次入選 NBA 全明星，四次獲得 NBA 總冠軍，兩次入選 NBA 最佳陣容，一次入選最佳防守陣容

Team member for the Golden State Warriors, Thompson's lethal shooting from beyond the arc is capable of transforming the dynamics and feel of any game.

湯普森是金州勇士隊的隊員，他在弧頂外的致命投籃能夠改變任何比賽的態勢和感覺。

The biggest Thompson fans will never forget about how he was nicknamed Game 6 Klay for clutch performances in this situation almost annually, with Golden State's season on the line.

最忠實的湯普森球迷永遠不會忘記，他幾乎每年都會在這種情況下，在金州的賽季岌岌可危時，因為關鍵時刻的表現而被戲稱為第六場克萊。

Additionally, Thompson holds the NBA record for most points scored in a single quarter with a ridiculous 37 against Sacramento, and the most three-pointers made in a single game being 14 against Chicago.

此外，湯普森還保持著對陣薩克拉門託時單節 37 分的 NBA 最高得分紀錄，以及對陣芝加哥時單場 14 個三分球的最高三分球命中紀錄。

Thompson had knee surgery to repair his torn left ACL in July of 2019.

2019 年 7 月，湯普森接受了膝蓋手術，修復了撕裂的左前十字韌帶。

While in rehab, Thompson ruptured his right Achilles and had surgery in November of 2020.

在康復期間，湯普森的右跟腱斷裂，並於 2020 年 11 月接受了手術。

His overall efficiency hasn't been where it was pre-major injuries, but it's been nonetheless extraordinary how Thompson's recovered to average 18-plus points per game in each of his three seasons since returning on essentially the same three-point efficiency than his pre-injured self.

他的整體效率已經大不如前，但湯普森在復出後的三個賽季中，每個賽季都能場均得到 18 分以上，三分球效率與受傷前基本持平，這一點還是非常了不起的。

In the 2024 playoffs, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving combined to average 52 points, 13.2 assists, and 13.2 rebounds per game between the two of them.

在 2024 年季後賽中，盧卡-東契奇和凱里-歐文兩人場均合計得到 52 分、13.2 次助攻和 13.2 個籃板。

Despite the pairing's all-time greatness, the Dallas Mavericks fell short in a five-game series against the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals, which had a lot to do with a lack of consistent floor spacing and general bucket-getting around them.

儘管這對組合堪稱史上最偉大的組合，但達拉斯小牛隊還是在 NBA 總決賽與波士頓凱爾特人隊的五場系列賽中惜敗，這與他們身邊缺乏穩定的地板空間和一般的扣籃機會有很大關係。

In the postseason, according to NBA University, Luka Doncic was the league's second most efficient pick-and-roll ball handler, yet he attempted the most shots out of any creator in the top 10 in effective field goal percentage in this category by a mile.

根據《NBA 大學》的數據，在季後賽中，盧卡-東契奇是全聯盟第二高效的接球后控球者，但在有效投籃命中率排名前十的創造者中，他的投籃命中率卻高出一英里。

Luka's shot selection may have been questionable in the postseason given he shot just 32% from three-point range on almost 10 three-point attempts per game.

在季後賽中，盧卡的投籃選擇可能會受到質疑，因為他每場比賽幾乎要嘗試 10 次三分球，三分球命中率只有 32%。

However, you could definitely argue that he was forced to chuck up this many attempts with no one outside of he, Kyrie, or P.J. Washington being able to haul up a high volume of deep-range shots on a nightly basis.

不過，你絕對可以說，他是被迫這麼多次嘗試的，因為除了他、凱里或 P.J. 華盛頓之外，沒有人能夠每晚都有大量的深距離投籃。

Even including his 0-for-10 shooting performance in the elimination game against Sacramento,

甚至包括他在對陣薩克拉門託的淘汰賽中 10 投 0 中的表現、

Klay Thompson shot 40.7% from distance on 9.4 three-point attempts per night over his last 25 games with the Golden State Warriors, .2 less three-point attempts on average than

克雷-湯普森在金州勇士隊的最後 25 場比賽中，每晚三分球命中率為 40.7%，三分球出手次數為 9.4 次，平均每晚三分球出手次數比金州勇士隊少 0.2 次。

Luka took in the Mavs' run to the finals, and around 10% more efficient than Doncic's playoff three-point percentage.

盧卡參加了騎士隊的總決賽，他的季後賽三分命中率比東契奇高出約 10%。

The pressure relieving from Klay is going to be incredible to watch in terms of how preeminent he's going to make Dallas' offense.

克萊減輕了壓力，他將使達拉斯的進攻變得更加突出，這將是令人難以置信的。

Luka and Kyrie collapsing the D and being able to kick it out to Klay will be a spectacle.

盧卡和凱里將防守球員打垮，並能將球踢給克萊，這將是一個奇觀。

Lost in the shuffle in what's been a phenomenal offseason for the Mavericks front office up to this point is how they've improved defensively.

對於小牛隊的前線辦公室來說，這個休賽期的表現非常出色，但他們在防守方面的進步卻被忽略了。

They added two 3-and-D wings who are going to shore up their bench being Najee Marshall and Quentin Grimes.

他們增加了兩名三雙側翼，納吉-馬紹爾和昆廷-格萊姆斯將會加強他們的板凳實力。

Najee was signed to a three-year $27 million deal, and the most disregarded aspect of Marshall's game is the man's passing chops.

納吉是以三年 2700 萬美元的合同簽下馬紹爾的，而馬紹爾在比賽中最被忽視的就是他的傳球能力。

From cross-court overheads through traffic to baiting defenders in midair and dropping dimes to the pocket, there's legitimate multi-functionality in Najee's bag.

從穿越交通要道的跨場高飛球，到在半空中誘騙防守球員，再到將球投進袋中，納吉的球包裡裝滿了各種功能。

The Mavericks rank just 10th out of 16 teams in terms of pace of play in 2024's playoffs, so Marshall's impulsively on-point facilitating to quickly make the right read and thread the needle should help the Mavericks up their tempo.

在 2024 年的季後賽中，小牛隊的比賽節奏在 16 支球隊中僅排名第 10 位，是以馬紹爾能迅速做出正確判斷並穿針引線的衝動式助攻應該能幫助小牛隊加快比賽節奏。

Marshall's more than simply a spot-up shooter, as when he finds the angle to make off-the-dribble attacks on LeBron like this one, you see Najee has the slightest bit of finesse and shot-creating wherewithal to offer the Mavericks as well.

馬紹爾不僅僅是一個簡單的定點投籃手，當他找到角度對勒布朗進行像這樣的運球進攻時，你會發現納吉也能為小牛隊提供一丁點的技巧和創造投籃機會的能力。

He's versatile on both ends of the floor, which includes pesky perimeter defense with the ability to guard the fastest and most elusive of point guards, but Marshall's most valuable piece of added value to Dallas will be his ability to catch and shoot.

他在球場的兩端都很全面，包括令人討厭的外圍防守，以及防守速度最快、最難以捉摸的控球后衛的能力，但馬紹爾對達拉斯最有價值的附加值將是他的接球和投籃能力。

Similarly to Thompson and the next player we're going to talk about in Quentin Grimes,

與湯普森類似，我們接下來要談的昆廷-格萊姆斯（Quentin Grimes）也是如此、

Najee's going to be a great fit spotting up next to Luka and Kyrie.

納吉將成為盧卡和凱里身邊的最佳人選。

Marshall shot an efficient 41% on corner three-point shots last season and posted 1.22 spot-up points per game.

馬紹爾上賽季的底角三分球命中率高達 41%，場均能得到 1.22 分。

For the former New York Knick and Detroit Piston Quentin Grimes, the Mavericks are expecting him to be an upgrade on the wing off the bench over Tim Hardaway Jr., who he was traded for.

對於前紐約尼克斯隊和底特律活塞隊的昆廷-格蘭姆斯，小牛隊希望他能在替補席上比被交易來的小蒂姆-哈達威更上一層樓。

The Mavs also received three future second-round picks for THJ, and when speaking on what Quentin brings to the table for Dallas, GM Nico Harrison stated quote, "...Quentin provides us with another young, versatile ball handler who can make shots.

在談到昆汀為達拉斯帶來了什麼時，總經理尼科-哈里森引述道："......昆汀為我們提供了另一個年輕、多才多藝、能夠投籃的控球后衛。

We're a young team with a lot of energy and we're excited to incorporate his athleticism and ability to play on both ends of the ball.

我們是一支充滿活力的年輕球隊，我們很高興能將他的運動能力和在球的兩端的能力結合起來。

His toughness in defending multiple positions is exactly the complement we're hoping to see here in Dallas."

他在防守多個位置時的堅韌正是我們希望在達拉斯看到的補充。

Quentin's ability to make quick-twitch decisions on the catch, combined with his athleticism and fundamentally sound shooting structure, gives him both a ton of untapped potential at age 24, and like Marshall, the chance to fluidly adapt to the Mavs' system around two high-volume creators.

昆汀在接球時能迅速做出決定，再加上他的運動能力和基本功紮實的投籃結構，讓他在 24 歲時就擁有了大量尚未開發的潛力，而且和馬紹爾一樣，他也有機會流暢地適應騎士隊的體系，圍繞著兩位大容量的創造者。

Klay Thompson is going to make this Dallas Mavericks team a different animal, which is pretty scary considering they're coming off rolling through what was an extremely difficult journey through the West.

克萊-湯普森將使達拉斯小牛隊成為一支與眾不同的球隊，考慮到他們剛剛結束在西部極其艱難的征程，這一點是相當可怕的。

As the C-Captain's biggest impact, he's going to be keeping Luka and Kyrie fresh by taking pressure off them throughout the 82-plus game grind.

作為 C 隊長，他的最大作用就是在 82 場比賽中為盧卡和凱里分擔壓力，讓他們保持新鮮感。

When also considering Dallas has got a couple new wings hungry to contribute and make a name for themselves who've proven to have solid upside, this gives the Mavericks one of, if not the scariest 15-man unit in their franchise's history, so look for Dallas to have a historically great season in 2025.

如果再考慮到達拉斯小牛隊還有幾名渴望為球隊做出貢獻併為自己正名的新側翼，他們已經證明了自己穩固的上升空間，這將為小牛隊帶來他們歷史上最可怕的 15 人陣容之一，是以，達拉斯小牛隊有望在 2025 年迎來一個歷史上最偉大的賽季。
