LeBron says Cavs in a delicate state following loss to Spurs LeBron在赛後说骑士目前状态很微妙 （注：delicate通常是正面意义的字，可以用来形容很多东西， 包括精美，精致，但是若是形容精品也往往有小心易碎的含义在， LeBron用这个字形容骑士目前的状态个人还真不知道怎麽翻， 姑且先用微妙代替之....） SAN ANTONIO -- Delicate. Of all the words LeBron James could've used to describe his team's condition after a 103-74 beatdown at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, "delicate" was a rather odd choice. 在骑士惨败给马刺後，LeBron用了一个奇怪的词汇形容 骑士目前的状态 -- delicate Upset would have worked. Frustrated, down, tired, confused -- all would've been appropriate and expected after Cleveland dropped into second place in the Eastern Conference for the first time since November. 如果说生气，挫折，士气低落，累了，混乱，这些似乎都比较适合 来形容现阶段的骑士。 But delicate? That's the kind of word that makes you wonder just how concerned James actually is about this group's mettle following a miserable road trip in which they've lost four of six games. 但是说骑士的状态很delicate？这让人感到好奇LBJ对骑士的状态 感到忧心的程度如何。毕竟骑士最近战绩惨不忍睹。 "It's a delicate time right now for our team," James said after Monday's loss. "A lot of people talking ... guys in the locker room. I'm not saying it's for the bad. We've got a couple guys that's shown leadership, some guys that's been in the fray before that's giving their opinions. LeBron说了 「现在对我们来说是一个很宝贵的时刻，休息室有很多人发表意见。 我并不是说这是坏事，我们有些队友展现出了领导力， 有些老人家则给出了他们的意见。」 "I've learned over the season there's a time and place for it. Certain situations. I kind of wait for the right time ... So my time will come." 「这麽多年来我已经学会在什麽时候要说什麽样的话。 我说话的时刻迟早会来到。」 In other words, it's loud right now and James knows anything he says publicly now will turn up the volume in a way that might be unproductive. 换句话说，现在休息室有很多意见，而LeBron知道在现在这个时间点， 他对外说任何话都可能造成不必要的负面影响。 James was seen huddling in an intense, personal conversation with an obviously-emotional Kyrie Irving as reporters left the locker room. Irving had been so upset with his performance in the game (his minus-29 plus-minus rating Monday was tied for the lowest of his career) that he went back out onto the court to do shooting drills after the loss. He walked back into the locker room afterward, buried his feet in a bucket of ice water, his face in a towel, and tried to process everything. LeBron在记者访谈结束後被看到与赛後跑去练投并且非常在情绪中的KI 有了一次深度谈话。然而没人知道他们留在休息室里说了什麽。 James has learned to pick his spots with Irving over the years. Sometimes a subtweet is the best way to reach him. Sometimes he'll offer up a direct and suggestive quote. On this night, in this delicate place in the season, he chose to put an arm around him and talk. LeBron这几年渐渐学会要如何去和KI沟通。 有时候他会发个意有所指的推 ，有时候他会给直接的引经据典， 而今晚，在这个delicate的时刻，他选择给他抱抱和谈话。 That's where this team is now with just nine games left in the regular season -- trying to pull together again as their championship swagger and bodies keep coming apart. 这就是现在这个球队的处境，在季赛只剩下九场的时刻， 试着要把大家拉回来，而不是不断的崩解。 Since the All-Star break, the Cavs' defensive efficiency is still second worst in NBA. No team has forced fewer turnovers since then. Is that fatigue? A lack of cohesiveness because of all their injuries and midseason additions? A lack of athleticism? Of effort ? 在明星赛後，骑士的防守效率是NBA倒数第二。而造成对手失误率则是 联盟最後一名。这是因为无法贯策教练的指令？因为新人加入？ 因为受伤？因为老化？还是单纯就是不够努力？ Cavaliers defense since All-Star break Cleveland's defense wasn't that strong to start this season, but it has fallen to the bottom of the league since the All-Star break. The Cavaliers are 8-10 since the break after losing Monday in San Antonio. 骑士的防守一览表。 Cavs def. ranks '15-16, reg. season '16-17, pre-break '16-17, post-break 骑士防守效率 去年 今年明星赛前 明星赛後 W-L 57-25 39-16 8-10 胜负 Opp. PPG 4th 18th 24th 对手得分 Def. rating 10th 20th 29th 防守效率 Opp. FG% 14th 16th 20th 对手命中率 SPG 28th 22nd 30th 平均抄截 Def. reb.% 5th 24th 25th 防守篮板率 CLE: 23rd in def. rating for 2016-2017 season 骑士目前防守效率联盟第23名 Everyone seems to have theories. Hence James' comment about all the voices in the Cavs' locker room right now. 每个人似乎都有自己的一套理论，所以LeBron说休息室有很多声音 是很合理的。 Coach Tyronn Lue keeps talking about how the teams beating the Cavs seem so much faster right now. Monday night he flat out laughed as he recounted the ways the Spurs ran circles around his team. Lue最近不断强调每个球队打得好像都比骑士快很多。 当今天他被问到这个时他甚至笑了出来。 "The crazy part about it. We start off the right way, but teams are so much faster than us," Lue said. "They just look so much faster than we are. I mean. I mean, damn. It just looks like, just beat us on the dribble, transition, just looking faster." 「最让人感到疯狂的是，我们开赛时还打得像样，但是这些球队 打得比我们快太多了。他们看起来就是比我们快一截。我的意思是， 我的意思是...该死的。感觉像是他们运运球，攻守转换这些都比我们 快得多了。」 According to data from SportVU, on offense the Spurs rank as the fifth-fastest team in the league, while the Cavs rank last in the league. On defense, San Antonio is the third-fastest team in the league, Cleveland is 26th. So Lue is correct, San Antonio is playing way faster than his team. What the Cavs need to figure out is whether that's a product of fatigue, athleticism or cohesiveness. Remember, they're still trying to figure out their rotations after the midseason additions of Kyle Korver, Deron Williams and Derrick Williams. And it sort of feels like JR Smith and Kevin Love are midseason additions too after each man missed a large chunk of the season with injuries. "With JR, it's a lot. To miss training camp because of the contract situation and then you finally start getting your legs under you, and you get hurt -- and you're out for three months," Lue said of Smith, who scored just five points Monday on 2-of-7 shooting. 从官网的统计来看，进攻端马刺虽然是联盟第二老的球队，但是 他们的速度是第五快的，骑士是最後一名。 而防守端马刺则是第三快的，而骑士是第26名。所以Lue的观察无误， 马刺的确打得比骑士快多了。骑士要厘清的是什麽原因导致如此， 是疲惫？运动力不如人？还是无法贯彻战术？ 记着，不论如何骑士在季中补强後，因为伤病因素，的确还没找到一套 稳定的轮值。JR和K Love因伤缺席众多比赛也让情况更负责。 Lue承认JR状态不好，不过也说 「JR真的miss了太多比赛。他错过了季前训练，然後好不容易慢慢有点状态 了又受伤。然後必须休个三个月。」 "So this is kind of like his training camp and his preseason, then all the other things that are going on as far as his family [Smith's daughter was born five months premature this January]. It's gotta be tough on him. I just got to keep talking to him, tell him he doesn't have to press. We're behind him 100 percent. His daughter is in our thoughts and our prayers. Basketball is our life, but it's not the only life that you have. He's gotta understand that. He's just gotta stay up and stay positive." 「所以现阶段对他来说就像是季前训练营一样，而且他家中也有事情。 这些种种对他而言一定是很困难的。我只是要一直不段的提醒他， 告诉他不要着急。我们100%支持他。我们都会替他的早产女儿 祷告， 篮球是我们的生活，但是不是我们生活的全部。他必须要了解， 所以他必须要保持乐观面对这一切。」 In the 11 games since he has returned from a broken thumb, Smith is averaging just 6.8 points on 31 percent shooting. 伤癒复出後的JR: 平均6.8分，命中率31%。 Like the rest of the Cavs' additions, Smith's play has been uneven. Korver has done exactly what the Cavs hoped when he has played. In 29 games he's averaging 10.9 points on 48.5 percent shooting. But a nagging foot injury keeps knocking him out of games. Monday the Cavs decided he needed to rest a full week before trying to return again. When Korver is in, the second unit has a potent deep threat. When he's not, it robs Deron Williams of the space he needs to create off the dribble and you get games like Monday where the Cavs bench goes scoreless in the first half. 惨的是，骑士像是JR一样状况的不只有他，KK目前也因为脚伤 有一搭没一搭地打着，最新消息是骑士会让他再休息一个礼拜。 而当KK这个射手没办法打的时候，蝶龙的工作就更困难了， 这也是为什麽昨天上半场骑士的板凳得分为零。 So you know, maybe "delicate" was the right word for James to use in describing the state of his team right now. 所以当LeBron用delicate形容骑士的时候的确是正确的， 因为骑士现在就是很脆弱。 Frustrated as he and Lue might be with the level of play, James has been around this team long enough to know when escalating tensions is counterproductive. So instead of criticism, he'll say things like, "It's up to the individual where if you're feeling a little slow, OK, you gotta get in better shape." 即使LeBron跟Lue一样对球队的状态感到挫折，但是他现在知道 要在什麽时候去施加压力以免适得其反。所以相对於指责， 他现在只公开说 「每个人的状况都不同，如果你感觉到自己有点跟不上了， 那就试着去增进自己的状态。」 Or he'll tweet about the value of youth coaches being honest with their stars, rather than sugarcoating things and risking a potentially lucrative relationship. Then he'll make a point of getting in an extra workout or lift after a late-night flight or rough stretch of games. 或者他会发个推赞扬一些教练和明星球员的互动关系，也不会 说表面话而有可能造成关系的恶化。有时他则会选择在一些 表现不好的赛後晚间训练。 "We'll get in late, 2-3 in the morning and he's in at 8:30 getting his stretching and workouts," Lue said. "Or we're just having a walk-through. And he's on the treadmill running for 30 minutes. Lue说到了LeBron对自己的要求 「我们有时候飞机落地时都已经半夜2-3点了，然後他还是一大早 八点半就开始训练了。有时候我们不练习只看录影带或战术讲解， 然後他之後通常会再去跑个三十分钟。」 "That's why he is who he is." 「这就是他为什麽是LeBron的原因。」 How much longer James goes with this push-not-prod approach remains to be seen. The Cavs have nine games left in the regular season to get themselves right, or at least out of this delicate spot. LeBron会对球队现况安静多久不得而知。 骑士只剩下九场比赛去矫正错误，至少离开目前这个「delicate」的状态。 ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ 基本上我还是觉得本季打得烂不只是态度的问题那麽简单， 进攻和防守端的速度不说不知道，说了才知道骑士原来跑动又少又慢， 是有什麽藉口说自己比别的球队累？ 说实话如果真的去看，骑士跑得慢的人不是LBJ，即使我们常常说他 在场上养身，但是他养身还比别人跑得多是怎样.... =.= 今年骑士可能真的是开季太顺了，我记得今年上半季几乎打 所有的浅在对手时骑士都能赢，包括逆转可怕的四星勇士。 还送给季初也很猛去年56w的暴龙三败，记得当时他们也就才6败的样子， 打号称会升空的Boston也是顺顺的，（结果现在真的升空了） 记得一月虽然打得不顺，但是当时打马刺我还觉得骑士应该会赢就是这原因。 但是现在好像不太一样了，想赢的比赛也拿不下来了， 感觉真的是螺丝不但松了而且还掉了好几根， 季後赛前找不到螺丝那应该只有被痛宰的份了。 --
