[外絮] CJ：西3到西13差距非常小，皆有奪冠機會

CJ談交易截止日盛況：代表各隊差距不大皆有奪冠機會，西3到西13差距非常接近 The West is definitely insane. I don’t think I’ve seen it like this in a long time. Obviously, we are all reacting to trades, especially the big trade [Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns] that occurred in the West that started the process o f teams offering up everything they had under the sun trying to get more competi tive and figure out ways to improve roster structure. But it’s good for basketb all and it’s good for the sport. We always talk about player movement, and that ’s been a part of a lot of people’s conversations, is do players have too much control, whatever the case may be. But our league is a terrific league in which a trade deadline becomes a story arc where they talk about it on TV. CJ：西區絕對是瘋狂的。我想我已經很久沒有看到這樣的情況了。很明顯，我們都在對交易 做出反應，特別是西區發生的大交易(KD被交易至太陽)。每支球隊都試圖在太陽之下提升競 爭力，改善陣容結構。但這對籃球來說是好事，對這項運動也是好事。我們總是談論球員的 流動，這也是很多人談話的一部分，就是球員是否有太多的控制權，不管情況如何。但我們 的聯盟是一個了不起的聯盟，交易截止日期成為他們在電視上談論的故事情節。 It makes competitive markets more competitive. It makes markets that may not be as competitive more competitive. And I think the fact that so many teams were ac tive or looking to be active is a sign that there’s not a lot of gaps in our le ague, from top to bottom. There’s a lot of teams that feel like they got a chan ce. There’s a lot of teams that feel like they can compete, whereas in past yea rs, a lot of teams were just like, ‘Nah, not going to make a move.’ Everyone’ s looking to try to get a little bit better because they feel like the gap isn’ t that wide and there’s a real shot at competing for a championship, which is a sign of our growth and the fact that our league is improving. When you look at [seeds] 4 to 14, 3 to 13, 3 to 10, it’s very close, especially in the Western C onference. CJ：這讓有競爭性的球隊更具競爭力，也讓那些可能不那麼有競爭力的球隊變得更有競爭力 。我認為，這麼多球隊活躍或尋求活躍的事實表明，在我們的聯盟中，從上到下沒有那麼大 的差距。有很多球隊都覺得他們有機會。有很多球隊覺得他們可以競爭，而在過去幾年，很 多球隊都只是說「不，不打算做點什麼」。而現在每個人都想努力變得更好一點，因為他們 覺得差距沒有那麼大，有一個真正的機會去爭奪冠軍，這是我們成長的標誌，也是我們的聯 盟正在改善的事實。特別是在西區，當你看種子4到14、3到13、3到10時，差距都非常接近 。 https://pse.is/4rqz4u 西13：確實 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 111.71.43.17 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1676435626.A.F30.html
