灵魂人物/关键人物/中流砥柱

franchise: Sports Slang. a player of great talent or popular appeal, considered vitally important to a team's success or future.
But in the context you provide from the first ref link, I would think it refers to the team.
So if XXX is a team name, you can go for "team", while XXX a name of a player, go for "player".

Note from asker:
所以就是:关键篮队或核心篮队,对不对? I would simply go for 队, because I have the feeling it's not so commonly used, what do you think?
