导读:骑士最近接连签下后卫德隆-威廉姆斯和中锋安德鲁-博古特，球队在控卫和内线位置都分别得到了补强。在谈起球队本赛季是否比上赛季实力更强大的问题时，詹姆斯如此说道。
BOSTON (AP) — It will take a lot more than adding a couple of backups for LeBron James to declare the current Cleveland Cavaliers roster better than last year’s.
波士顿（AP）——想要眼下的克利夫兰骑士队的阵容比去年的更好，需要的可不止为勒布朗詹姆斯加几个替补。
It will take a trophy.
而是需要一尊奖杯。
"The 2016 team won a championship," James said. "only time will tell."
“2016赛季的球队赢了总冠军，”詹姆斯说，“只有时间能够给你答案。”
The Cavaliers, who open a tough March schedule against the Celtics on Wednesday night, are adding 7-footer Andrew Bogut, who chose Cleveland over Boston, San Antonio and Houston. once he clears waivers and signs, Bogut gives the Cavs a big man to back up starter Tristan Thompson as they seek a No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and a chance to repeat as NBA champs.
周三晚，骑士队以一场与凯尔特人的对抗开始了三月艰苦的赛程，他们刚刚签下了7英尺高的安德鲁·博古特。博古特从骑士、凯尔特人、马刺和火箭之中选择了骑士队，在他度过澄清期与骑士签约后，博古特会成为为首发特里斯坦·汤普森替补的大个子，这能为骑士获取东部第一排名并有机会再次争夺总冠军提供帮助。
The oft-injured Australian was the second spare part added by Cleveland this week. The Cavaliers signed point guard Deron Williams, a three-time All-Star expected to make his debut against Boston. (They also acquired forward Kyle Korver in January.)
这位经常受伤的澳大利亚人是在本周加入骑士的第二块备用零件。骑士队之前签下了组织后卫德隆·威廉姆斯，这位三次入选全明星的选手有望在对阵波士顿凯尔特人的比赛中迎来首秀。（他们在一月份的时候已经获得了凯尔·科沃尔）
"We’re pretty deep," coach Tyron Lue said after the team’s shootaround at the TD Garden. "The biggest thing is to try to get everybody meshed together, who plays well together and who doesn’t. That’s going to be the biggest challenge the next few weeks."
“我们的阵容相当深，”球队在北岸花园球馆完成投篮训练后，泰伦·卢教练说道，“头等大事是让所有打得好和打得差的人结合到一起，这将是未来几周内的最大挑战。”
The Cavaliers opened up a roster spot for Bogut by waiving guard Jordan McRae, who appeared in 37 games this season.
骑士队为空出签下博古特的位置而裁掉了乔丹·麦克雷，他本赛季出场37场比赛。
Cleveland entered the matchup against Boston with a four-game lead over the Atlantic Division-leading Celtics in the race for the No. 1 seed in the East. While the additions are expected to help the Cavaliers down the stretch and into the postseason, the biggest boost to the newfound depth could come in an anticipated rematch with Golden state in the NBA Finals.
东部排名第一的骑士领先大西洋赛区领头羊凯尔特人四个胜场。骑士队在寄希望于新签的球员能够帮助增强球队阵容进入季后赛的同时，最大的动力当然还是希望新阵容能够再次进入与金州勇士队的总决赛。
Bogut was a starter for the Warriors in 2015, when they won it all, and again last year, when they blew a 3-1 lead to Cleveland. James said there isn’t much that the Cavaliers haven’t seen from their potential Finals opponent, but that it’s too early to be thinking about that anyway.
博古特在2015年时是勇士队的首发球员，在那年他们赢得了总冠军，然后下一年，他们在大比分3-1领先的情况下输给了骑士。詹姆斯说骑士队已经没有多少东西没从总决赛的潜在对手那里看到了，不过现在去考虑这些还为时过早。
"You guys are so fascinated about a Cleveland-Warriors matchup that it’s discrediting the rest of the league," he told reporters. "If we’re fortunate enough to even get through the East, and they’re on the other side, we’ll see what happens in the end."
“你们太热衷于渲染骑勇大战了，这对全联盟其他球队不公平，”他对记者说，“如果我们足够幸运从东部杀出来，而他们又在对立面，到那时再看最后会发生什么吧。”
Bogut’s agent, David Bauman, said the 32-year-old big man thought Cleveland offered him the best chance to win a title. He averaged 4.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in the playoffs for the Warriors during the two NBA Finals runs, but Golden State shipped him to Dallas last summer to help clear room for Kevin Durant.
博古特的经纪人大卫·伯曼说，这位32岁的大个子认为克利夫兰是提供赢得冠军的最佳选择。在为勇士效力的两次NBA总决赛赛场上，他平均有4.6分、6.8个篮板和1.7次封盖入账，但勇士为了清理出得到凯文杜兰特的空间在去年夏天将他交易到了达拉斯小牛。
After averaging 3.0 points and 8.3 rebounds in 26 games for the Mavericks this season, Bogut was traded at the deadline to Philadelphia in a deal for Nerlens Noel. Bogut and the 76ers agreed to part ways so he could join a contender, and on Tuesday night, he informed Cavaliers general manager David Griffin that he planned to join the team.
在本赛季为小牛效力的26场比赛里，博古特平均能拿到3.0分和8.3个篮板。在交易截止日前，小牛将博古特被交易到费城换来了诺伦斯·诺尔。之后博古特和76人队达成买断协议，他可以加入其它球队。周四晚上，博古特通知了骑士队的总经理大卫格里芬计划加入他们的球队。
"He likes to compete and do whatever it takes to help his team win," James said. "(I) respect that."
“他喜欢竞争并会通过一切努力来帮助球队赢球，”詹姆斯说，“（我）尊敬这点。”
With Kevin Love and J.R. Smith injured, the Cavaliers also added Williams, a teammate of Bogut’s in Dallas this season who was waived by the Mavericks and will serve as a backup for point guard Kyrie Irving.
随着凯文勒夫和JR史密斯的受伤，骑士队也签下了博古特这赛季在达拉斯的队友，被小牛裁掉的威廉姆斯，他将会出任得分后卫凯里·欧文的替补。
Williams said the possibility of winning a championship was the biggest reason he decided to join Cleveland. But the ability to share the floor with James, a teammate from the 2008 and ’12 Olympics, didn’t hurt.
威廉姆斯说加入骑士队最大的原因就是赢得冠军的可能性，但是能和2008和2012年奥运会队友詹姆斯在一起打球也不坏。
"Watching him every day, seeing him lead and seeing the type of work he puts into the game. It’s always something that was in my mind," Williams said. "I’m happy I have the opportunity to play with him. I played with a great one — Dirk (Nowitzki), in Dallas, and got to learn from him. Now I get to learn from LeBron."
“每天看着他领导球队并且能看他投入到比赛之中的努力，这一直都是在我记忆中的一部分，”威廉姆斯说，“我很开心能有这个机会与他一起打球。我在达拉斯和一个伟大的球员并肩作战过——德克（诺维斯基），从他那我学到了很多。现在我能从勒布朗身上学习了。”
