John Wall Could Own the East Sooner Than You Think.
约翰-沃尔很快将会超你所想，称霸东部。
The Washington Wizards received great news Friday, as franchise point guard John Wall announced he would accept the team's supermax contract extension offer. The extension adds four years to Wall's existing contract, and could keep him in D.C. through 2023. The final season of the deal is a player option.
华盛顿奇才队周五收到一个好消息，球队老大组织后卫约翰-沃尔宣布同意球队提供的顶薪续约合同，该续约延长了沃尔现有合同四年，并可以使他待在华盛顿奇才队直到2023年。合同最后一年为球员选项。
Wall's extension coincides with swingman Otto Porter also signing a max deal this summer, solidifying the team's young core of Wall, Porter and shooting guard Bradley Beal. All three are signed through at least 2020, and Washington will likely have to continue to dip into the luxury tax to ensure it remains a contender throughout the length of their deals.
沃尔的续约的同时，摇摆人奥托-波特在这个夏天也签下了大合同。球队的年轻核心沃尔，波特以及得分后卫布拉德利-比尔，这一阵容得到进一步巩固。该三名球员签约至少到2020年，华盛顿奇才队将会进一步扩大奢侈税以确保在整个续约他们合同过程中始终是一个有利的竞争者。
In an era of superstar instability, Wall's decision is extremely meaningful for the Wizards. The announcement came the same day Kyrie Irving requested a trade, weeks after Jimmy Butler and Paul George were traded, and in the same month Gordon Hayward announced he would be leaving the Utah Jazz. Amid the flurry of movement, Wall is deciding to stay with a team that could soon shoot to the top of the imploding East
在一个巨星极不稳定的时代，沃尔的决定对奇才来说具有重要的意义。沃尔宣布签约的消息同一天，欧文请求交易，吉米-巴特勒、保罗-乔治在前几周也是被交易了，同月，戈登-海沃德也宣称将离开犹他爵士。在一阵慌忙交易者中，沃尔决定留队，促使其在瓦解削弱的东部成为顶尖球星。
Seriously, who in Wall's conference will be a contender at this time next year? If LeBron heads West and Kyrie leaves Ohio, the Cavs will freefall. Toronto's core is older than Washington's, and less talented to boot.
说真的，明年的这个时候，沃尔所在的东部谁将会成为冠军的一个竞争者？如果勒布朗-詹姆斯去西部和凯里-欧文离开俄亥俄，骑士队实力将一落千里。多伦多的核心是比华盛顿老，而且缺乏上升的潜力
Would you rather have the Wizards' big three of Wall, Beal and Porter, or the Celtics' likely three-max core of Isaiah Thomas, Al Horford and Hayward?
你宁愿有奇才的三巨头沃尔，比尔和波特，还是凯尔特人的三核心伊塞亚-托马斯、艾尔-霍福德和戈登-海沃德？
Wall's deal is more than just about him taking the most money possible. And we know Wall is sensitive about his contract situation. He's also now set himself up for potentially huge success right as he's about to enter his prime.
沃尔的合同不仅仅只是他想尽可能拿更多的钱。我们都知道沃尔对他自己的合同的处境是非常敏感的。他为自己即将进入巅峰时期而取得巨大的成就的目标做好了准备。
Wall will turn 27 right before the start of this season, meaning he should spend the best years of his career—with seemingly healthier knees than in the past—all with the Wizards.
本赛季开始之前，沃尔将迎来27岁，这意味着他将进入职业生涯的黄金时期，拥有比过去更加健康的膝盖，同样这对整个奇才队也是一样。
The way LeBron has put a stranglehold on the East, it's hard to imagine any other star exerting any level of control over the conference. But why not Wall? His speed is his most exciting trait, but his well-rounded game is often overlooked.
勒布朗率领的骑士一直压制着东部其他球队，很难想象有其他球星也达到这样的水平控制着东部。但是，为什么不能是沃尔呢？他的速度是他最令人兴奋的特点，但是他表现全面的比赛往往被忽视。
He can play fast or run a halfcourt offense. He makes players around him significantly better. And he's dramatically improved as a shooter since his first three years in the league. With still a little more room to grow, Wall has the potential to the biggest star in his half of the league in a post-LeBron era.
他可以快攻或运球半场进攻。他使周围的队友打出高效的表现。引人注目的是他在联盟的头三年，作为一名射手有了巨大的进步。在后勒布朗时期，沃尔有望成为东部的顶级巨星，他还有潜力成长。
As constructed today, the Wizards aren't title contenders. The Ian Mahinmi contract is an albatross, the bench is still suspect at best, and their core still lacks star power compared to the NBA's real heavy hitters. But in an era when stars are maximizing leverage more than anything else, having your superstar under contract for as long as Wall is qualifies as its own achievement.
正如当今联盟的所构建格局，奇才并不是冠军争夺者。伊安-马辛米的合同是一个沉重的负担，板凳阵容最强依然存在怀疑，其核心相比NBA真正的重量级人物缺乏明星气质。但是，在这个球星利益高于一切的时代，球队还能像奇才留住沃尔那样留住自己的大牌，已经算是个了不起的成就了。
Washington has cleared the biggest hurdle numerous NBA teams have faced the last few seasons: Commitment. With Wall signed for the long haul, the Wizards have taken the most important step in trying to bring a championship to the nation's capital.
华盛顿已经扫清了众多NBA球队过去几个赛季面临的最大障碍：承诺由于沃尔签下了长期的合同，奇才队为华盛顿夺得冠军迈出了最重要的一步。
