2022年只有伤病才能阻止篮网夺冠

　　The Lakers made splashier moves -- discussed in depth on the Lowe Post podcast -- but the Nets, pending good health, enter next season as undisputed favorites.
　　湖人做出了引人注目的举动，但如果篮网能保持健康的话，那么在下赛季篮网是毫无争议的冠军热门球队。
　　Losing Jeff Green＂s versatility hurt, but the Nets recovered well. Blake Griffin is a nice fit on both ends. They retained Bruce Brown on the one-year qualifying offer -- a potential win for both player and team, but more likely team -- and nabbed a bigger, meaner version of Brown in James Johnson.
　　失去全能的杰夫-格林让篮网很受伤，但篮网的补救措施做得很好。布雷克-格里芬在攻防两端都很合适。他们以一年的资质报价合同留住了布鲁斯-布朗——这对球员和球队来说都是潜在的胜利，但更有可能是球队受益——并签到了詹姆斯-约翰逊这个更大、更冷酷版本的布朗。
　　They can use Johnson just as they do Brown: as the screen-setter and nominal ＂center＂ in super-spacing lineups. Johnson doesn＂t have Brown＂s pogo-stick floater, but he has more experience in that role -- and he＂s a better playmaker, though prone to wildness. Johnson meshes with Brooklyn＂s switch-everything scheme on defense.
　　他们可以像使用布朗一样使用约翰逊：在超级空间阵容中充当掩护球员和名义上的＂中锋＂。约翰逊没有布朗那一手抛投，但他在这个角色上有更多的经验——他是一个更好的组织者，尽管他的组织偏向于鲁莽。约翰逊适合篮网的一切换防战术。
　　Then came Patty Mills, slipping into Green＂s salary slot. Mills is a beloved veteran. He can play next to Brooklyn＂s stars as a turbo-charged roving sharpshooter (seriously, Mills scampers like he has a battery pack attached to him), and assume backup point guard duties. (That need may never arise -- James Harden runs second units -- but Mills gives head coach Steve Nash leeway to experiment, and cover for any injury to Harden or Kyrie Irving.)
　　然后是帕蒂-米尔斯，占据了格林的薪水栏。米尔斯是一位深受爱戴的老将。他可以作为一个高速移动的神射手与篮网的球星并肩作战（说真的，米尔斯的跑动就像他身上有一个电池包），并承担起替补控卫的职责。（这种需求可能永远不会出现——詹姆斯-哈登在带领第二阵容——但米尔斯给了主教练史蒂夫-纳什试验的空间，并弥补哈登或凯里-欧文的任何潜在伤病。)
　　The capper: retaining Kevin Durant on an extension.
　　关键是：以一纸长约留住凯文-杜兰特。
　　The Nets are never going to be a great defensive team, and maybe not even a good one. But over 12 playoff games, they flashed a good-enough gear.
　　篮网永远不会成为一支防守极好的球队，甚至可能不是一支防守不错的球队。但在超过12场的季后赛中，他们展示了足够好的防守档次。
　　The Lakers＂ defense is going to slip a little. Los Angeles faces real questions about how its three stars complement one another on offense, though the Lakers will solve a lot of those questions by go time. The Nets face no such questions. The ＂only one ball!＂ pearl-clutching was always overblown given the collective shooting and playmaking of Durant, Irving, and Harden.
　　湖人的防守会有一点下滑。湖人面临的真正问题是他们的三位球星如何在进攻上互相配合，尽管湖人会在比赛时间内解决许多这些问题。篮网没有这样的问题。考虑到杜兰特、欧文和哈登集体拥有的投篮和组织能力，＂只有一个球！＂的问题一向是被夸大了。
　　Durant has staked an emphatic claim as James＂ true equal. You can＂t assume the Lakers have an advantage at the No. 1 spot anymore.
　　杜兰特已经明确展现了他是詹姆斯同级别的对手。你不能再认为湖人在球队头号球星的位置上拥有优势了。
　　If every team is healthy, the 2022 title is Brooklyn＂s to lose.
　　如果所有球队都保持健康，那么2022篮网总冠军！
