Bob Myers reflects on Andrew Wiggins trade, growth with Warriors
勇士總管Bob Myers談Andrew Wiggins的交易
Andrew Wiggins certified his status with Dub Nation in Game 3 of the Western
Conference Finals on Sunday, when he threw down an iconic dunk on Luka Doncic
in the fourth quarter of a Warriors win.
星期天的西決Game 3，圍巾證明了他在勇士球隊裡的地位，那場比賽的第四節他爆扣77，
最後勇士拿下該場勝利。
Wiggins was acquired by Golden State in a 2020 midseason trade to the
Minnesota Timberwolves for D’Angelo Russell and a 2021 draft pick that ended
up being Jonathan Kuminga. At the time, questions swirled about Wiggins’
commitment and focus. No one ever doubted the former No. 1 overall pick’s
raw tools and ability to produce, but Wiggins never got out of the first
round of the playoffs in five-plus seasons with the T-Wolves.
圍巾是在2020季中跟灰狼交易，勇士還拿到2021的選秀籤，最後選到了Jonathan
Kuminga。在那時，一堆有關圍巾打球態度的問題浮現；大家對這位狀元的天賦沒有懷
疑，但是這位球員在灰狼待了五年多，季後賽始終是一輪遊。
Now he finds himself on the verge of the NBA Finals, as the Warriors can
punch their ticket with a Game 5 victory at Chase Center. Golden State
president of basketball operations joined 95.7 The Game’s “The Morning Roast
” Tuesday to reflect on Wiggins’ journey with the Warriors.
現在他知道他已經快要可以打總冠了，勇士有機會可以在主場拿下Game 5的勝利。勇士
總管上了廣播節目講到圍巾在勇士的這段歷程。
“Without him, I don’t know who would guard Luka or who would come close,”
Myers said. “There’s that part, that we’re putting him on their best
player. But he’s impacting winning. That was the knock on Wiggins – he got
his 20 points, he did some nice things, but he didn’t impact the game. Well,
that has entirely flipped on its head, that narrative. To see him, another
guy that came and had to earn the trust of guys that won championships, he’s
fully in the fold now. He’s fully embraced by the guys.”
「沒有圍巾，我不知道我們有誰可以守Luka，」Myers說。「在防守上，我們把圍巾拿去
對付對手的最佳球員，他在球隊獲勝上有影響力。那是他以前被人所詬病的，他可以拿
20分，他可以做不錯的事情，但是他沒有辦法影響比賽。不過現在風向完全轉過來了，
他上場比賽，他贏得了這群曾經拿過總冠球員的信任，大家都很歡迎他，也都接受他
了。」
That’s high praise from Myers, who has helped usher in the Dynasty Dubs era
with Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson leading the way. That
trio, along with Andre Iguodala, has won three titles and made five straight
Finals appearances from 2015-19.
總管Myers給了圍巾很高的讚賞，Myers也是幫助勇士建立以咖哩，嘴綠以及K湯的勇士
王朝總管。這三人組以及Andre Iguodala在2015-19年五次打進總冠，拿下三次冠軍。
“When a new guy comes on the team and they’re looking around – Wiggins had
played in one playoff series in his life, five games,” Myers said. “That’s
not a big sample size. I’m sure Wiggins, when you get there, you see the
banners, you see guys that have won it and you go, ‘I gotta find my way with
this team.’ It’s taken a little bit of time, but now he’s here. No doubt,
he belongs.”
「當有新人來時，他們會去四處看--圍巾之前只打過一輪季後賽，總共五場，」Myers
說。「那真的沒幾場。我很確定，當圍巾到了球場看到那些冠軍標誌，看到了那些拿下
冠軍的球員時，他會想，『我得要想方式跟這些人在一起。』或許花了點時間，但是他
現在終於在這裡，毫無疑問，他屬於這裡。」
Myers and the Warriors heard the doubts, but they figured the risk outweighed
the reward.
Myers跟球隊有聽到那些有關圍巾的疑問，但是他們評估後認為風險超過了報酬。
“We didn’t view it as a big gamble, we really liked him,” Myers said. “
But you have to bet on people and you have to bet that your culture and your
coaching staff and your players will help elevate other guys. You have to
believe that. Otherwise, what do you have? … Happy for Andrew. It’s so good
to see him push back on some of things he’s had to hear for years.”
「我們沒把這交易視為一樁賭注，我們真的很喜歡他，」Myers說。「但是有時候就是得
賭一下，賭說我們的球隊文化，我們的教練團，我們的球員，他們可以幫忙其他人提升，
有時候就是得要相信。不然的話，我們還有什麼呢？所以，為圍巾感到開心，很開心看到
他可以把他之前聽到一些對於他的疑問拋諸腦後。」
Wiggins dropped a playoff career-high 27 points in Game 3 and locked down
Luka in Game 1. It’s hard to imagine Russell having such a two-way impact in
the playoffs.
圍巾在西決Game 3拿到生涯季後賽新高27分，在Game 1則是守住了Luka。很難想像
Russell在季後賽可以有這樣在攻守兩端的影響力。
Myers said the Warriors recognized that their backcourt was probably too
small in 2019-20 with Russell and Curry.
Myers說勇士在2019-20察覺到後場Russell跟Curry的組合體型可能太小了。
“We wanted to give the Russell thing a look then we realized defensively it
might be tough,” Myers said. “It was gonna be tough with him and Steph.
Obviously, Klay was out and we lost all that wing depth. Durant was gone,
Iguodala was gone, Klay was injured. We were trying to fill it with minimum
switches as possible. That’s why the wing position is valuable in the
league. You have to have good ones. Any team that does anything has one. So
we saw an opportunity to get a wing that was super talented and a wing that
had upside and was obviously maligned, and that’s why he was available.”
「我們本來想試試看用Russell，但是後來我們了解到這組合在防守上真的很難，」Myers
說。「對Russell跟Curry來說真的很難。很顯然，K湯不在，我們側翼上沒有深度，KD
也走了，Iguodala也走了，K湯受傷。我們試著用最少的轉換去填補那個位置。這也是為
什麼現在聯盟裡側翼這位置很有價值，球隊一定得有這樣子的好球員，想要有作為的球
隊一定得要有一位這樣子的球員。所以，我們看到了個機會，可以得到一位超級有天賦
的側翼，有過很好的表現，但是就被大家誤解中傷，這也就是為什麼我們可以得到他的
理由。」
Safe to say, it’s all worked out for Wiggins and the Warriors.
所以，很放心的說，圍巾在勇士是成功的。
