http://0rz.tw/fd3ZT Celtics Defensive Struggles in the 4th Quarter The Celtics were about 12 minutes away from putting a chock-hold on their first round series against the Hawks. Instead, they had a defensive meltdown allowing the Hawks' Joe Johnson to go off for 20 points in the 4th quarter and even up the series at 2-2. Celtics 大约只差12分钟，就可以在对老鹰队的系列战取得优势。相反地，他们的防守 崩溃，让老鹰队的Joe Johnson在第四节得了20分，以2-2追平了系列。 I do want to give credit to the Hawks first and foremost. I took some heat earlier this month for an article I wrote about how I felt that the Hawks were a solid playoff team. This Hawks team is the most athletically deep team in the NBA. What they lack in experience and shooting, they more than make up in freakish athleticism. And as I wrote, I do like the way Mike Woodson designs simple sets to let his players use their athleticism to beat opponents. 首先，还有最重要地，我想要给老鹰队肯定。早些时候，有篇我提到觉得老鹰队是支稳 固的季後赛球队的文章，招来了一点争论。老鹰队是 NBA里最具运动力的球队。他们在 经验和投篮上缺少的，在怪胎般的运动力上不只有补了回来而已。就像我所写的，我喜 欢Mike Woodson设计简单的战术，让他的球员用运动力去击败对手的方法。 OK, now back to the Celtics. What happened to their 10 point lead heading into the last quarter?? The failure of the players and coaches to make the necessary defensive adjustments. In fact, they were double-teaming the wrong players and the leaving Joe Johnson and Josh Smith on 1v1. Take a look at 3 sequences from the 4th quarter, OK，现在回来谈 Celtics。他们的10分领先进入第四节发生什麽事了？球员和教练没有 作到必要的防守调整。事实上，他们包夹了错误的球员，让 Joe Johnson和Josh Smith 得以一对一。看看第四节的三个片段。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_fnEtj3I5M Who Not to Double-team: So, in this first clip, Al Horford of the Hawks gets the ball in the low block. Normally I favor doubling the post, because it's the most dangerous offensive position on the floor. But every situation is unique, and as a coach you need to adjust your defensive gameplan based on circumstances happening within the game. Al Horford had scored just 4 points up to that point and just 1 FG. Johnson already made 7 shots. To me, double teaming Horford and leaving Johnson open on the perimeter was not a wise decision, 所以，在第一段里，老鹰队的Al Horford在低位拿到球。一般来说，我偏好包夹低位， 因为那是场上最危险的进攻位置。但是每个情况都很独特，身为一个教练，你必须依靠 比赛发生的情况调整你的防守计画。Al Horford在那时共得了4分，只有一个进球。 Johnson已经投进了7球。对我来说，去包夹Horford，让Johnson在外线放空不是个明智 的决定。 http://0rz.tw/27439 In this next clip, about a third way through the quarter, they double Josh Childress on the low block. In fact, it's a double from the weak side which is even more deliberate. Like Horford, Childress only had 4 points in the game. Childress passes out of the double to Johnson who has dragged the arc, and drives it into the lane after catching the pass and hits a pull-up jumper, 在下一个片段，这节进行了三分之一左右，他们在低位包夹Josh Childress。事实上， 这是从弱边过来进行故意的包夹。就像 Horford，Childress在比赛里只得了4分。被包 夹的Childress把球传出来给三分线外的Johnson，後者接获传球，切进去急停跳投得分。 http://0rz.tw/d741y Finally, with less than 5 minutes to go and now 2 points behind the Hawks, the Celtics decide to let Paul Pierce guard Johnson 1v1, the result was not pretty for the Celtics, 最後，还剩5分钟落後老鹰队2分，Celtics决定要让 Paul Pierce一对一守Johnson，结 果对Celtics不是太妙。 http://0rz.tw/3c41Z Of course, hindsight is 20/20. It's easy to criticize by taking clips and pointing out mistakes. But it is from these mistakes that we learn. If the Celtics are to make a deep playoff run, they will need to make the necessary adjustments. I think I know what Doc Rivers was thinking, this young guy is gonna cool off eventually, he can't keep it up, we'll just wait it out. The problem is though, the double-teams on Horford and Childress were unnecessary and forced the defense into tough rotations. 当然了，後见之明是不会出错的。要批评片段、指出错误是很简单的。但是就是从这些 错误，我们才得以学习。如果 Celtics得以深入季後赛，他们要作些必要的调整。我认 为我知道 Doc在想什麽，这个年轻的家伙总会冷下来，他没办法一直保持，我们只要等 到那时。但是问题是，包夹Horford和Childress是不必要的，同时使得防守要辛苦地轮 转。 Summary: I think most people are still assuming the Celtics go on to win, Kenny, Magic and CWebb all thought so on TNT. If they do, I think they will find the Magic a tough team to guard, and Lebron and the Cavs even tougher. As for the upstart Hawks. If they manage to win this series, it would be a great thing for the city. Atlanta has had a bad rap with their sports teams lately and the Hawks have usually suffered the worst of it. 我想大部分的人仍然认为 Celtics将会赢，Kenny、Magic和Cwebb都在TNT这样想。如果 是真的，我认为他们会发现魔术队是支更难守住的强队，而LeBron和骑士队还要再强。 至於突然崛起的老鹰队……[不可能的，我不想翻下去] --
