"Our game, if you watch the Pacers, is a hot-ball game," Carlisle said on the Bas"ketball She Wrote" podcast with Caitlin Cooper in an episode that published Tuesday morning. "It has to be. It has to be the way we're structured and set up."

“如果你看过溜马队的比赛，你会发现我们的比赛是一场手感火热的比赛，”卡莱尔在周二早上与凯特琳·库珀一起播出的《她写的篮球》播客节目中说道。“必须如此。必须按照我们的组织和安排来。”

It has to be, Carlisle said, because it works for not only their injured point guard but the two point guards the Pacers will use to replace him in Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell, as well as their best remaining healthy player in Pascal Siakam.

卡莱尔说，必须这样做，因为这不仅对受伤的控球后卫有效，而且对溜马队将用来替代他的两名控球后卫安德鲁·内姆布哈德和 T.J. 麦康奈尔，以及他们剩下最好的健康球员帕斯卡尔·西亚卡姆也有效。

"This is a natural style for Tyrese," Carlisle said. "It's pretty natural for Nembhard. For McConnell, the pace makes a lot of sense for him to play in this style. Pascal has adjusted, and I give Pascal Siakam a great deal of credit. He came here as a veteran player and he had to adjust to the tempo and the running and the speed of the game."

“这对泰瑞斯来说是一种自然的风格，”卡莱尔说。“对内姆布哈德来说也相当自然。对麦康奈尔来说，这种节奏很适合他。帕斯卡尔已经适应了，我非常赞赏帕斯卡尔·西亚卡姆。他来到这里时已经是一名老将了，他必须适应比赛的节奏、跑动和速度。”

Carlisle also noted the easy fit of several other players into the system including wings Aaron Nesmith and Ben Sheppard who have made their living on running hard down the floor, spacing and getting open 3s. Forward Obi Toppin clearly thrives in such an environment as his greatest skills are rim running and finishing. Center Isaiah Jackson, who returns after missing almost all of last season with an Achilles tendon tear, also fits the bill well.

卡莱尔还指出，其他几名球员也很容易融入这个体系，包括侧翼球员阿龙·内史密斯和本·谢泼德，他们以拼命奔跑、拉开空间和投进空位三分球为生。前锋奥比·托平显然在这样的环境下表现出色，因为他最擅长的是篮下跑位和终结。中锋伊赛亚·杰克逊在上赛季因跟腱撕裂缺席几乎所有比赛后复出，也很符合这个体系的要求。

One player who isn't an easy fit is Bennedict Mathurin who Carlisle said will be the Pacers' opening day starter at shooting guard and it will be his job to lose. Mathurin is more inclined to play isolation basketball and try to score through contact or draw fouls rather than keep the ball moving, but Carlisle has worked on rounding his edges for years to make him a better fit and though it still isn't natural he's made clear strides. Mathurin averaged 16.1 points per game last season, though he averaged just 11.0 per game in the playoffs when he came off the bench.

卡莱尔表示，溜马队揭幕战首发得分后卫本尼迪克特·马瑟林需要融入球队。马瑟林更倾向于单打，试图通过身体接触或制造犯规得分，而不是保持球的移动。但卡莱尔多年来一直致力于磨圆他的棱角，使他更好地适应球队。虽然马瑟林还不是很自然，但他已经取得了明显的进步。上赛季马瑟林场均得到 16.1 分，但在季后赛替补出场时，他场均仅得到 11.0 分。

"Benn Mathurin is going to get there," Carlisle said. "He has such great gifts as a scorer. Our job as coaches is to meld guys like him who aren't necessarily seamless fits into a style that is effective for the rest of the guys and bring forces hopefully closer together as time goes on."

“本·马瑟林会成功的，”卡莱尔说。“他得分天赋超群。作为教练，我们的工作就是把像他这样不太适应球队的球员，融入到一种适合其他球员的高效打法中，并希望随着时间的推移，让球队的凝聚力更加紧密。”

All that being said, Carlisle noted specific adjustments will have to be made and the Pacers may have to lean into other strengths.

话虽如此，卡莱尔指出，溜马队必须做出具体的调整，并且可能必须依靠其他优势。

"Our game this year is gonna look different," Carlisle said. "There are going to be times it doesn't look pretty. We're going to be more physical. I think we're going to be a more physical defensive team, all those kinds of things. But things are gonna change."

“我们今年的比赛看起来会不一样，”卡莱尔说。“有些时候看起来不太好看。我们会更加注重身体对抗。我认为我们会成为一支更有身体对抗性的防守球队，诸如此类。但一切都会改变。”

For one thing, Carlisle said, the Pacers will have to be mindful of the burden they're placing on Nembhard, who has been nominally starting at shooting guard but will move to the point with Haliburton out. He has had secondary ball-handling responsibilities and has had to bring the ball up a lot even with Haliburton out so that shouldn't be a problem. That being said, he will have more ball-handling responsibility and more scoring responsibility when he's on the floor, and he'll also have to pick up one of the toughest defensive assignments whenever he's on the floor as he has established himself as a top-10 on-ball defender in the NBA.

卡莱尔表示，首先，溜马队必须注意他们给内姆布哈德施加的负担。内姆布哈德名义上是首发得分后卫，但在哈利伯顿缺阵的情况下，他将移至控球后卫。他一直承担着辅助控球的责任，在哈利伯顿缺阵的情况下，他也会经常拿到更多球权，所以这应该不成问题。话虽如此，他在场上时将承担更多控球和得分的责任，而且由于他已经成为NBA前十的持球防守人，因此他每次上场都要承担最艰巨的防守任务之一。

For him to do all of those things, something will have to give, and that might mean his minutes. He averaged 33.4 minutes per game in the playoffs. He also has to find a way to stay out of foul trouble, which isn't easy when he's guarding that quality of player.

要想做到所有这些，他必须做出一些牺牲，这可能意味着他的上场时间。季后赛他场均上场33.4分钟。他还必须找到一种方法来避免犯规麻烦，这对于防守如此优秀的球员来说并不容易。

"Drew is going to have to adjust some," Carlisle said. "He's going to have to maintain his aggression defensively, because he loves to defend. This guy is a freak, OK, he doesn't say (expletive) to anybody. ... But we gotta protect Andrew. If we're going into this year and saying he's going to play 37 minutes, that's not gonna happen. He's going to have to be in the low 30s. T.J. is going to have to have another great year and we're going to have to have a third guy ready."

“德鲁需要做出一些调整，”卡莱尔说。“他必须在防守端保持侵略性，因为他热爱防守。这家伙真是个怪胎，好吧，他不会对任何人说（脏话）……但我们得保护好安德鲁。如果我们今年就让他打37分钟，那是不可能的。他必须打30分钟出头。T.J.必须再打出一个精彩的赛季，我们必须准备好第三个人。”

Among the options for a third point guard are rookie Kam Jones and two-way contract guards RayJ Dennis and Quenton Jackson. But the Pacers might also have to lean on Siakam to handle the ball some. That's something he did extensively in Toronto in his later seasons with the Raptors.

第三控球后卫的选择包括新秀卡姆·琼斯、双向合同后卫雷·J·丹尼斯和昆顿·杰克逊。但溜马队可能还需要依靠西亚卡姆来控球。他在猛龙队的后期赛季中就经常这样做。

"Pascal is now going to become more of a primary ball-handler," Carlisle said.

“帕斯卡尔现在将更多地成为一名主要的控球手，”卡莱尔说。

And there are more decisions to make. They have to figure out the center position with Turner gone with Jay Huff, Isaiah Jackson, James Wiseman and Tony Bradley all currently in the mix. And they'll simply have to find the production that Haliburton brought that is now missing.

还有更多决定要做。他们必须解决中锋位置的问题，因为特纳已经离开，杰·胡夫、以赛亚·杰克逊、詹姆斯·怀斯曼和托尼·布拉德利都已经加入。他们还需要找到哈利伯顿之前带来的、现在缺失的进攻能力。

"Our fans this year are going to be in for a very interesting year," Carlisle said. "It's going to be a team that looks quite different. I don't think it can be overstated how great of a player Tyrese Haliburton is. ... We're going to miss Tyrese a lot. People are going to find out. I know how great he is. Unfortunately I'm going to find out even more how great he is by not having him with us this year."

“今年我们的球迷将会迎来非常有趣的一年，”卡莱尔说。“这支球队看起来会截然不同。我认为泰瑞斯·哈利伯顿的伟大无论怎样夸大都不为过……我们会非常想念泰瑞斯。人们会发现的。我知道他有多棒。不幸的是，今年没有他，我会更加感受到他的伟大。”
