LeBron admits Shaq "tricked" him with slow start By Brian Windhorst, The Plain Dealer CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Thoughts following the Cavs' 105-89 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies: ‧ Back in December after the Grizzlies beat the Cavs, 111-109, in overtime, Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said he was actually glad to see the Cavs put Shaquille O'Neal on the floor for the final possession so they could attack him in a pick-and-roll. It worked and Michael Conley got a layup and won the game. 回想去年十二月骑士在延长赛以109:111输给灰熊时, 灰熊教练Lionel Hollins说他很高 兴看到骑士在最後时刻还放大欧在场上, 让他们得以使用挡切战术. 战术成功了, 最终靠 Michael Conley的上篮赢得胜利. The next night in Houston, Shaq was outplayed by the shortest starting center in the NBA since the ABA merger (Chuck Hayes). Some people who really know basketball, executive types, sent e-mails to me basically saying: "Looks like Shaq is done." 隔天在休士顿的比赛, 大欧的表现被全联盟最矮的中锋Chuck Hayes给压了过去, 不少篮 球专家寄信给Brian Windhorst说: "看起来大欧不行了." It is easy to talk about it now because Shaq is playing wonderfully, including his 13 points and 13 rebounds Tuesday against the Grizzlies. He is looking spry, he's shooting at a high percentage again and he's fitting into the offense and defense perfectly. 现在可以轻松的说出来, 因为大欧现在表现太棒了, 昨天对灰熊拿下13分13板的成绩. 动 作灵活, 命中率高, 攻守两端都表现完美. The company line has been that the plan all along was to bring the big man along slowly and then let him turn it up later in the season. That process was sped up when Mo Williams and Delonte West went down with injury, it is often said. Mike Brown takes the blame for Shaq not making the All-Star team because he said he purposely held him back. 综合这些结果, 看来球队的计画是让大欧慢慢暖身然後下半季再加热. 这个过程因为Mo和 West的受伤而加速进行. Mike Brown就表示, 大欧没进明星赛都是他的错, 因为他为了保 护大欧而限制了他的表现. All of that may be true. The Cavs have closely watched his minutes and worked to keep them down. But there's little doubt that there was significant concern back in December after Shaq returned from his shoulder injury. He wasn't making shots, which was one problem, but even though he was in pretty good shape he wasn't affecting the game much at all. 这可能是事实. 骑士对谨慎的控制大欧的上场时间并试图减少. 但是在大欧去年十二月肩 伤後的表现仍然招来不少质疑, 他出手少了, 虽然身材优势还在, 但场上影响力却减少许 多. After this game, LeBron James pretty much gave it away talking about how well O'Neal has been playing. You can tell by the quote that he was concerned at some point as well. 甚至连LBJ都不再说大欧表现很好了. 从当时LBJ的谈话中可看出他也开始怀疑大欧的能力 . "He had a different mindset than we all thought. We all thought he was playing slow and he was just saving it," James said. "He tricked all of us, I guess." "他的表现出乎意料, 我们都以为他不行了却发现他其实是压抑自身威能."LBJ说,"我们都 被他耍了, 我猜." ‧ LeBron finished the game with 15 assists, which tied his career high. Don't think for a second he didn't know that. In the fourth quarter he was clearly trying to get No. 16. In his last couple of minutes on the court, the Cavs had him at the "nail" position in the high post against the Grizzlies' zone, where he can be most effective as a passer. After the game he razzed Daniel Gibson about missing two open 3-pointers in the second half that would have been the difference. LBJ拿下15助攻, 平了他的生涯纪录. 别以为他不知道, 第四节的时候他显然想要破纪录 , 赛後他开玩笑地责怪Gibson下半场错过的两记空档三分球, 不然就破纪录了. By the way, seven times in the last 11 games LeBron has had at least 11 assists. With him controlling the ball so much and many of his teammates shooting well, this is the type of performance that some predicted could someday have him average a triple double. 此外, LBJ在最近十一场比赛中有七场拿到11次以上的助攻. 考虑他的持球时间与队友表 现, 这就是为什麽许多人期待他能有平均大三元的成绩. ‧ It was hard to tell whether Zach Randolph just had a bad night playing his fourth game in five nights or whether the Cavs truly shut him down. Anderson Varejao did a strong job and helped Randolph turn the ball over five times. But there was no missing how much effort J.J. Hickson gave on defense. 很难说Zach Randolph这场只是表现失常还是骑士的防守真的压制了他.大V守得很好并造 成他五次失误, 也不能不提JJ对他的防守. Randolph was just 3-of-14 shooting and he missed a handful of open jumpers he makes most nights. But Hickson worked very hard denying him position in the post. Brown even complimented Hickson on his defense publicly after the game. That was a shocker; in fact it may be the first time Brown has ever done that. Usually he finds ways to blame Hickson. Zach Randolph只有3-14的命中, 错过许多的空档跳投. JJ在低位对他的卡位做得很好. Brown赛後甚至特别称赞JJ这场的防守, 令人相当惊讶, 事实上这可能是Brown第一次称赞 JJ的防守, 通常都是在批评他. --
