Through the leadership of coach Dana Altman since coming to Eugene in 2010, the Oregon Ducks can't be counted out when it comes to making a run in March Madness. The long-tenured college basketball mind has found offseason success with this group's retention of talent, international recruiting, and the complexities of the transfer portal.
在教練 Dana Altman 自2010年執(zhí)掌 Oregon Ducks 以來，每當(dāng)"瘋狂三月"到來之際，畫報(bào)這支球隊(duì)從來都不容小覷?？?strong>這位長期執(zhí)教的俄勒籃球名帥通過成功留住核心球員、開展國際招募以及巧妙運(yùn)作轉(zhuǎn)會(huì)門戶，望成為在休賽期取得了顯著成效。標(biāo)賽
In the 2025-26 Big Ten Conference preseason media poll,最終 the Oregon Ducks were predicted to finish No. 5 in the standings. The Michigan Wolverines were picked No. 2 with three first-place votes, and the Purdue Boilermakers are the favorites to win the conference at 25 first-place votes.
在2025-26賽季Big Ten Conference季前媒體投票中，Oregon Ducks被預(yù)測將在 standings 中排名第五。強(qiáng)黑Michigan Wolverines以三張頭名選票位列第二，點(diǎn)理而Purdue Boilermakers以25張頭名選票成為聯(lián)盟冠軍的體育最大熱門。
The 畫報(bào)Ducks are going to be battle-tested during their non-conference scheduling in the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada, from Nov. 23-25 as well as a matchup with the Gonzaga Bulldogs at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon, on Dec. 21.
Ducks將在非聯(lián)盟賽程中經(jīng)受實(shí)戰(zhàn)檢驗(yàn)：包括11月23日至25日在內(nèi)華達(dá)州Las Vegas舉行的Players Era Festival賽事，以及12月21日在俄勒岡州Portland的刊文Moda Center與Gonzaga Bulldogs的對決。
Oregon will then have 俄勒to go deal with arguably the country's toughest conference from top to bottom in the Big Ten, from an expanded Monday to Sunday scheduling throughout January to March.
此后，從 1 月到 3 月，望成為賽程將從周一擴(kuò)展至周日，標(biāo)賽俄勒岡隊(duì)還需應(yīng)對堪稱全美上下實(shí)力最均衡、競爭最激烈的大十聯(lián)盟（Big Ten）賽事。
During said conference schedule, Oregon is circling that road test in West Lafayette, Indiana, against the second-time Big Ten preseason player of the year, Purdue's senior guard Braden Smith, on Saturday, Feb. 7. That test alone will only prepare this season's group even further for what it takes to string wins together in March (even April).
Here is why Oregon coach Dana Altman's program seems already up to the task of turning some heads in the Big Ten and beyond in mid-October.
在上述聯(lián)盟賽程中，Oregon 隊(duì)重點(diǎn)關(guān)注 2 月 7 日（周六）的那場客場考驗(yàn) —— 他們將前往 Indiana 州 West Lafayette 市，對陣兩屆 Big Ten 聯(lián)盟季前最佳球員、Purdue 大學(xué)高年級后衛(wèi) Braden Smith。僅此一場考驗(yàn)，就足以讓這支隊(duì)伍為在三月（甚至四月）實(shí)現(xiàn)連勝做好更充分的準(zhǔn)備。以下便是為何在十月中旬，Oregon 隊(duì)主教練 Dana Altman 麾下的這支隊(duì)伍，似乎已具備在 Big Ten 聯(lián)盟及更廣闊賽場上嶄露頭角的實(shí)力。
1、The Return of the Veteran Trio 三巨頭歸來
Altman returns arguably the top returning duo in all of college basketball: senior center Nate Bittle and junior lead guard Jackson Shelstad. The pair of born and raised Oregonians were named to the Preseason All-Big Ten First Team for a reason.
Altman 教練帶回了堪稱全大學(xué)籃球界最頂尖的回歸雙人組：高年級中鋒 Nate Bittle 和三年級主力后衛(wèi) Jackson Shelstad。這兩位土生土長的 Oregon 州人，入選 Big Ten 聯(lián)盟季前第一陣容絕非偶然。
In 2024-25, Bittle was ranked No. 7 in the Big Ten's rebounds per game with 7.6 and No. 2 at 2.1 blocks per game. If he can become stronger at finishing offensively with his left hand, the true seven-footer has the makings of the conference's player of the year.
2024-25 賽季，Bittle 在 Big Ten 聯(lián)盟的場均籃板數(shù)（7.6 個(gè)）排名第七，場均蓋帽數(shù)（2.1 個(gè)）排名第二。這位實(shí)打?qū)嵉钠哂⒊咧袖h，若能進(jìn)一步提升左手進(jìn)攻終結(jié)能力，完全具備成為聯(lián)盟年度最佳球員的潛質(zhì)。
Adding in 6-10 junior forward Kwame Evans Jr. for the Ducks, who has looked to add more consistency with his shooting from beyond the arc during his offseason workouts (shot at a 26.9-percent clip from three-point range in 2024-25), is a massive bonus alongside Shelstad and Bittle. His length as a defender, both out on the wing and near the low block, has been shown.
身高 6 英尺 10 英寸的三年級前鋒 Kwame Evans Jr. 的加入，對 Ducks 隊(duì)而言是一大助力 —— 他在休賽期訓(xùn)練中一直致力于提升三分球投籃的穩(wěn)定性（2024-25 賽季其三分命中率為 26.9%），與 Shelstad 和 Bittle 搭檔堪稱錦上添花。無論是在側(cè)翼還是低位區(qū)域，他作為防守者的身高優(yōu)勢已有所展現(xiàn)。
This could be Evans Jr.'s national breakout season if he puts it all together as a more reliable scoring option when those two previously mentioned are off the floor.
若 Evans Jr. 能整合自身能力，在上述兩位核心球員下場時(shí)成為更可靠的得分點(diǎn)，本賽季或許會(huì)成為他在全國賽場上嶄露頭角的賽季。
2、International Potential in the Backcourt 后場中的國際潛力
Yes, Shelstad will miss the early beginning of the preseason with a right-hand injury, his dominant hand. That's where this specific late international acquisition from Altman's staff of Chinese shooting guard Wei Lin comes into play.
誠然，Shelstad 將因右手（他的慣用手）受傷，缺席季前賽初期的比賽。而這正是 Altman 教練團(tuán)隊(duì)在后期簽下的中國得分后衛(wèi)林葳發(fā)揮作用的時(shí)刻。
At 22 years old, Lin has been one of the most dominant scorers in the Chinese Basketball Association since 2022. He recently made history as the first Chinese men’s pro to join the NCAA. Also, Oregon is the highest-ranked program a Chinese player has ever joined.
22 歲的林葳自 2022 年起，便是中國男子籃球職業(yè)聯(lián)賽中最具統(tǒng)治力的得分手之一。他近期創(chuàng)造了歷史，成為首位加盟 NCAA 的中國男子職業(yè)籃球運(yùn)動(dòng)員，且 Oregon 大學(xué)也是中國球員所加盟過的排名最高的院校。
At 6-3, 175 pounds, he averaged 21.6 points (No. 15 most in the CBA), 5.3 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 37 percent on three-pointers and 88 percent from the charity stripe in 36 games played for the Nanjing Tongxi Monkey Kings in 2024-25.
2024-25 賽季，身高 6 英尺 3 英寸、體重 175 磅的林葳代表南京同曦大圣隊(duì)出戰(zhàn) 36 場比賽，場均得到 21.6 分（CBA 排名第 15）、5.3 次助攻、3.4 個(gè)籃板和 1.4 次搶斷，三分球命中率為 37%，罰球命中率高達(dá) 88%。
While he's still learning the ways of American basketball, Lin can still immediately jump in and find ways to score, given his past professional experience.
盡管仍在學(xué)習(xí)美國籃球的打法，但憑借過往的職業(yè)經(jīng)歷，林葳仍能迅速融入比賽并找到得分方式。
3、Dana Altman Finding Gems Through Transfer Portal
Dana Altman 巧用轉(zhuǎn)會(huì)門戶發(fā)掘璞玉
Genuine Altman isn't just an X's-and-O's, old-school type of guy. His on-and-off retention of his favorite members in the coaching huddle (assistant coach Tony Stubblefield, assistant coach Mike Mennenga, executive director/assistant coach Josh Jamieson) has brought multiple perspectives of the global and domestic game to college basketball in Eugene.
Dana Altman 并非只懂戰(zhàn)術(shù)套路的老派教練。他始終留住教練組中的核心成員（助理教練 Tony Stubblefield、助理教練 Mike Mennenga、執(zhí)行總監(jiān)兼助理教練 Josh Jamieson），這為尤金的大學(xué)籃球項(xiàng)目帶來了對全球及美國本土籃球賽事的多元視角。
As previously mentioned, Lin has to pick up the slack in the backcourt after the unfortunate offseason injury to Shelstad. It might be awkward at first, but Elon transfer TK Simpkins has not only had more time to adjust to Altman's system but can also try to help Lin convert to the American game, given his solid foundation.
如前所述，Shelstad 休賽期不幸受傷后，后場需要有人填補(bǔ)空缺。初期或許會(huì)有些磨合，但來自 Elon 大學(xué)的轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)生 TK Simpkins 不僅有更多時(shí)間適應(yīng) Altman 的戰(zhàn)術(shù)體系，且憑借扎實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)，還能助力林葳適應(yīng)美國籃球的打法。
Simpkins was named to the All-Coastal Athletic Association Second Team this past season while averaging a team-leading 16.4 points per game on a 42.3 field goal percentage, 36.7 three-point percentage, and 75.6 free throw percentage for Elon.
上賽季，Simpkins 入選海岸競技聯(lián)盟（Coastal Athletic Association）第二陣容。效力于 Elon 大學(xué)期間，他場均得到 16.4 分（隊(duì)內(nèi)最高），投籃命中率為 42.3%，三分命中率 36.7%，罰球命中率 75.6%。
He was ranked No. 19 in the CAA with 1.1 steals per game during the 2024-25 season, and on that side of the ball, he's continuing to improve when he spoke with the Oregon Ducks on SI.
2024-25 賽季，他在 CAA 聯(lián)盟的場均搶斷數(shù)（1.1 次）排名第 19 位。在接受《體育畫報(bào)》（SI）旗下俄勒岡鴨子隊(duì)專欄采訪時(shí)，他表示自己在防守端仍在不斷進(jìn)步。
Simpkins has been known for his scoring outbursts during his collegiate career, specifically through his mid-range game or when getting to the free-throw line. The same capabilities should be expected from him once Shelstad is fully healthy enough to make his way back to the floor.
在大學(xué)生涯中，Simpkins 以爆發(fā)式得分聞名，尤其擅長中距離投籃和制造罰球機(jī)會(huì)。待 Shelstad 完全傷愈復(fù)出后，預(yù)計(jì)他仍能保持這樣的得分能力。
One Oregon transfer that gets lost in the shuffle is Ohio State Buckeyes junior forward Sean Stewart, a former McDonald's All-American from the 2023 recruiting class. He started his career with the Duke Blue Devils before transferring to Ohio State for this past season. In 2024-25, Stewart averaged 5.7 points on a 54.2 field goal percentage and 5.8 rebounds per game in 30 starts for the Buckeyes.
另一位容易被忽視的 Oregon 轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)生，是來自俄亥俄州立大學(xué)七葉樹隊(duì)（Ohio State Buckeyes）的三年級前鋒 Sean Stewart—— 他是 2023 年招生周期中的前麥當(dāng)勞全美高中生陣容成員。他的大學(xué)生涯始于杜克大學(xué)藍(lán)魔隊(duì)（Duke Blue Devils），上賽季轉(zhuǎn)會(huì)至俄亥俄州立大學(xué)。2024-25 賽季，Stewart 為七葉樹隊(duì)首發(fā) 30 場比賽，場均得到 5.7 分（投籃命中率 54.2%）和 5.8 個(gè)籃板。
How he fits in the frontcourt is uncertain, but that's okay, and there is time to figure out how the minutes all work out before it all really counts. Oregon scheduled well during the NCAA's allowed two exhibition matchups, actually against two former Pac-12 Conference opponents.
他在球隊(duì)前場的定位尚不確定，但這并無大礙 —— 在正式比賽開始前，球隊(duì)仍有時(shí)間確定所有人的出場時(shí)間分配。Oregon 隊(duì)在 NCAA 允許的兩場季前熱身賽中賽程安排合理，對手均為前 Pac-12 聯(lián)盟的老對手：
Utah Utes at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, Oregon (Friday, Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. PT on BIG+)
Stanford Cardinal at Maples Pavilion in Palo Alto, California (Thursday, Oct. 30 at 5 p.m. PT on ACC Network Extra)
This is where Altman will start to knit together how he thinks this rotation can play out, with all the previously loaded weapons and uncertain international/transfer portal option
Utah Utes 客場挑戰(zhàn) Oregon 尤金市 Matthew Knight Arena（10 月 24 日周五，太平洋時(shí)間晚上 7 點(diǎn)，BIG + 平臺(tái)直播）
Stanford Cardinal 主場迎戰(zhàn) Oregon 于 Palo Alto 市 Maples Pavilion（10 月 30 日周四，太平洋時(shí)間下午 5 點(diǎn)，ACC Network Extra 平臺(tái)直播）
正是在這些比賽中，Altman 教練將開始整合陣容 —— 結(jié)合隊(duì)內(nèi)已有的實(shí)力派球員，以及尚未確定定位的國際球員和轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)生，敲定最終的輪換陣容打法。
Through the leadership of coach Dana Altman since coming to Eugene in 2010, the Oregon Ducks can't be counted out when it comes to making a run in March Madness.

在教練 Dana Altman 自2010年執(zhí)掌 Oregon Ducks 以來，每當(dāng)"瘋狂三月"到來之際，這支球隊(duì)從來都不容小覷。這位長期執(zhí)教的籃球名帥通過成功留住核心球員、開展國際招募以及巧妙運(yùn)作轉(zhuǎn)會(huì)門戶，在休賽期取得了顯著成效。
In the 2025-26 Big Ten Conference preseason media poll, the Oregon Ducks were predicted to finish No. 5 in the standings. The Michigan Wolverines were picked No. 2 with three first-place votes, and the Purdue Boilermakers are the favorites to win the conference at 25 first-place votes.

Oregon will then have to go deal with arguably the country's toughest conference from top to bottom in the Big Ten, from an expanded Monday to Sunday scheduling throughout January to March.
此后，從 1 月到 3 月，賽程將從周一擴(kuò)展至周日，俄勒岡隊(duì)還需應(yīng)對堪稱全美上下實(shí)力最均衡、競爭最激烈的大十聯(lián)盟（Big Ten）賽事。
