原标题：On the ‘Small’ and ‘Short’ details of Jonathan Kuminga’s triumphant return 副标：Kuminga looks good coming off of a severe ankle sprain. 作者：Joe Viray 原文：https://www.goldenstateofmind.com/2025/3/14/24385521/warriors-kings-130-10 4-jonathan-kuminga-steph-curry-film-breakdown Heading into this contest with the Sacramento Kings, everyone highly expected St eph Curry to be denied of any operating space whatsoever. The Mike Brown adminis tration made sure of that through his copious doubles and traps whenever Curry t ouched the ball; Doug Christie went a step further than his predecessor by havin g defenders put hands on Curry off the ball, top-locking him away from screens, and skirting the line separating legal physical defense and fouling. That was a decree made even more paramount by the fact that Curry was only two threes away from 4,000 career three-point makes — a club he founded and, for the foreseeabl e future, will be its sole member. 在与沙加缅度国王队的比赛中，每个人都高度预期Steph Curry将完全失去运作空间。Mike Brown的教练团确保了这一点，他们在Curry每次触球时都会进行大量的包夹和陷阱；Doug C hristie比他的前任更进一步，让防守球员在Curry无球时对他进行贴身防守，运用Top Lock 避免他利用掩护，并且在合法的身体防守与犯规之间寻求平衡。这一点尤其重要，因为Curr y距离达成职业生涯4000个三分球只差两个进球，而这一成就将让他成为自己创立的俱乐部 的唯一成员，并且在可预见的未来将继续保持这一地位。 The Kings did not want to be on the wrong end of basketball history, having prev iously allowed two pieces of Golden State Warriors history to occur at their exp ense (i.e., Klay Thompson’s 37-point quarter and Curry scoring 50 points in a G ame 7 against them — the most in any Game 7 in NBA history). In that regard, th ey profusely top-locked Curry, with Keegan Murray being tasked as Curry’s prima ry defender. Suffice to say, Murray made sure to stick to Curry like white on ri ce: 国王队不想成为篮球历史的背景板，因为他们之前曾经让金州勇士队的两项历史纪录在他们 身上诞生（例如Klay Thompson的37分单节和Curry在季後赛Game 7对国王队攻下的50分—— 这是NBA历史上在第七场比赛中得分最高的纪录）。因此，他们极力对Curry进行Top Lock防 守，而由Keegan Murray作为Curry的主要防守人。可以说，Murray确保他像影子一样紧跟Cu rry： https://i.imgur.com/rjjC3xx.gif While Murray and the Kings made it their exclusive focus to keep Curry away from offensive involvement, something was brewing under their noses. In the process of Jimmy Butler bringing the ball down, Kerr was conspicuously calling out the p lay for the Warriors to run: 在国王队专注於阻止Curry参与进攻的同时，一些事情悄悄地发生了。在Jimmy Butler带球 下场时，Kerr清楚地指挥着勇士队的进攻套路： Kerr’s play call for “Small” triggers Curry to position himself in the middle of the paint in spite of Murray’s top-locking physicality, as opposed to when he typically sets the “inverted” screen higher up, near the top of the key. If Draymond Green was a dangerous pull-up shooter, the latter scenario would’ve b een justified. But setting the screen lower allows Curry to catch Jonas Valanciu nas — paying little heed to Green and the prospect of him pulling up for a jump er — unawares. Kerr的「Small」战术要求Curry尽管面对Murray的Top Lock防守，依然移动到禁区的中间， 而不是像平常那样在三分线附近设置倒挡拆。如果Draymond Green是一名有威胁性的跳投射 手，那後者的挡拆策略也许有道理。但低位设置挡拆可以让Curry在防守者未察觉的情况下 ，利用Jonas Valanciunas不认为Green会拉开投篮的心态来完成进攻。 Note the angle of Curry’s screen — almost parallel to the baseline, “flat,” and rendering Valanciunas unable to do anything against the pick (fouling Green in response), with Murray’s reticence to switch off of Curry being used against him: 注意Curry的挡拆角度——几乎平行於底线，几乎是「平的」，使Valanciunas无法对这一挡 拆进行有效反应（结果犯规了Green），Murray对於是否换防的犹豫也被用来反击： https://i.imgur.com/rSw8NHb.gif These doses of “Small” possessions, as previously written by yours truly, have been run for a plethora of wings bigger than Curry — hence the “inverted” na ture of the pick-and-rolls. Green’s ability to handle the ball and recent willi ngness to score has also qualified him to be the ball handler in “Small.” 正如我之前所写，这种「Small」进攻战术已经被用来让比库里体型更大的球员参与其中— —因此挡拆往往会呈现「倒转」的性质。Green的持球能力和他最近的进攻态度也使得他适 合在「Small」战术中担任持球人。 The timely return of Jonathan Kuminga reinserts another weapon for Steve Kerr in to the equation — one that can pressure the rim, get to the line, and benefit o ff of Curry’s inverted ball screens. With Kuminga on the floor, Kerr calls for “Small” anew: Jonathan Kuminga的及时回归为Steve Kerr提供了另一个武器——一个能够对篮筐施加压力 、突破防守并且受益於Curry的倒挡拆的球员。当Kuminga在场时，Kerr再次要求执行「Smal l」战术： Having moved chess pieces around the board, the Kings assign a different defende r to Curry. Like Murray before him, Ellis stays close to Curry as if his life de pended on it. Murray, meanwhile, draws Kuminga as an assignment. Having called o ut “Small,” Kerr elects to put the ball in Kuminga’s hands and have him bring the ball down, in preparation for Curry’s incoming ball screen. 经过一番调整，国王队换了另一名防守球员来对付Curry。像Murray之前一样，Ellis拚尽全 力紧跟Curry。而Murray则防守Kuminga。Kerr呼叫「Small」战术，并选择让Kuminga持球， 为Curry即将到来的挡拆做准备。 Unlike the first instance, there’s a switch — which enlightens the rationale b ehind the change in defensive assignments. Murray switches onto Curry, with Elli s switching onto Kuminga. Curry finds himself right where he started: matched up against the taller, lengthier, and a rather pesky defender in Murray. 与第一次不同的是，这次发生了换防——这让人明白为何改变了防守指派。Murray换防到Cu rry，Ellis则换防Kuminga。Curry再次来到他原来的位置：对上这个更高、更长、更具侵略 性的防守者Murray。 However — while Ellis is no slouch himself when it comes to defensive capabilit y — he gives up two inches in height and 35 pounds in weight to Kuminga: Ellis固然擅长防守，然而他比Kuminga加矮了2英寸，大约轻了35磅： https://i.imgur.com/gZlPSOk.gif The element that was missed with Kuminga’s absence (and somewhat reappeared wit h Butler’s acquisition) was rim pressure — the ability to bend defenses throug h the threat of drives, cuts, and finishing with a layup or dunk, two of the mos t effcient ways to score in a game of basketball. Kuminga缺席的时候（并且在Butler加入後有所重现）最为缺少的是对篮筐的压力——通过 持球切入、空手切入和上篮或灌篮等方式来逼迫防守，这是篮球比赛中最有效的得分方式之 一。 https://i.imgur.com/9fjqzmO.gif While Kuminga’s brand of rim pressure is somewhat one dimensional and rote in t he sense that many expect him to force the issue and few epect him to create fo r his teammates off of his rim pressure, perhaps Butler’s tutelage will have an impact on his development with regard to the latter. 虽然Kuminga的篮下影响力在某种程度上是单一的和制式化的——人们通常预期他会强行突 破，而很少预期他会利用自己的篮下影响力为队友创造机会，但也许Butler的指导会对他在 这方面的发展有所影响。 There was, perhaps, a brief flash of that development tonight: 今晚，或许可以看出他的一丝进步： https://youtu.be/mN9rctEmCuI Kuminga is still a weapon the Warriors are uniquely in short supply of, in the s ame vein as the skill set that Quinten Post provides — another archetype the Wa rriors aren’t exactly in abundance of. Kuminga’s value remains additive, despi te the Warriors excelling during his absence. Kuminga仍然是勇士队的独特武器之一，这就像Quinten Post所提供的技能——勇士队并不 多见这类型的球员。尽管勇士队在Kuminga缺席期间表现出色，但他的价值依然无可替代。 “You need that athleticism, you need that force that he plays with,” Draymond Green said after the game. “We’ve been in a groove, but I don’t think there’ s a soul in this building that thought just because we’re in a groove we didn’ t need him back. We needed him back in a major way.” 「你需要他的运动能力，还需要他那种强悍的比赛风格，」Draymond Green赛後说：「我们 确实已经进入了节奏，但我不认为在场有谁会认为因为我们现在处於一个好状态，就不需要 他回来。我们非常需要他回来，这一点是毫无疑问的。」 Whether that athleticism or force shines through his on-ball exploits or off-bal l activities, Kuminga is very much a piece that completes the puzzle. On the lat ter, his ability to finish possessions off of created advantages up front is and has been key. 无论这种运动能力或力量是通过他持球进攻或无球活动来展现，Kuminga无疑是这支球队的 关键拼图。在无球方面，他能够利用自己创造的优势进行终结是至关重要的。 For example: take note of “Short” action, in which the Warriors create a diffe rent passing angle for the roll man after setting a ball screen for Curry — one that often results in two defenders jumping out at Curry. 举个例子：看看「Short」进攻战术，勇士队在为Curry设挡拆後，为roll man创造了不同的 传球角度——这往往会导致两名防守者集中在Curry身上。 https://x.com/JoeVirayNBA/status/1897482849919377464 Unlike the version against the New York Knicks above, “Short” action against t he Kings saw more help come Gui Santos’ way, due to Kuminga and Green occupying both corners. In that regard, Malik Monk saw an opportunity to get in Santos’ way when he receives the pass from Green. 与对纽约尼克队的「Short」不同，这场对国王队的「Short」更多地看到了帮助传到Gui Sa ntos手中的球，而Kuminga和Green分别占据了两个角落。在这种情况下，Malik Monk看到了 机会，试图在Santos接球时拦住他。 Aided by the subtle positional exchange between Kuminga and Moses Moody — who s lowly saunters his way to the wing, bringing Murray with him in the process — K uminga acts upon the space created by Monk’s rotation toward Santos. Murray att empts to cover Kuminga’s cut, but he turns his head toward Moody for a brief fl ash, knowing that Moody is a threat to shoot from that range: 由於Kuminga和Moses Moody间的细微位置互换——Moody慢慢走向边线，将Murray吸引过去 ——Kuminga趁机利用Monk转移防守时创造的空间。Murray尝试防守Kuminga的切入，但他短 暂地转头看向Moody，知道Moody在那个位置有投篮威胁： https://i.imgur.com/TgvjZN1.gif That slight head swivel by Murray is enough of a split-second moment for Kuminga to beat him to the rim: Murray这一瞬间的头部转动让Kuminga得以超越他，轻松上篮： https://i.imgur.com/Ffs4ZeT.gif Kuminga’s triumphant return (18 points on 10 shots) was marked by the ease thro ugh which he acquired his points, almost as if he wa sleepwalking his way towar d his buckets. It also served as a microcosm of the predicament the Warriors put the Kings in. Two of their objectives — 1) don’t let Curry dictate terms on o ffense at all costs; 2) dare non-Curry Warriors to score — didn’t go according to plan. Kuminga的强势回归（18分，10次投篮出手）标志着他轻松得分的方式，仿佛他是在梦游中 进行得分。这也是勇士队让国王队陷入困境的缩影。他们的两个目标——1）无论如何阻止C urry主导进攻；2）敢让Curry以外的勇士球员得分——最终都没有达成。 Furthermore, they could not prevent what they wanted no part of whatsoever: beco me another footnote in a piece of Warriors — and for that matter, NBA — histor y. 此外，他们无法阻止他们不想成为的另一个故事：成为勇士队，甚至是NBA历史中的一个注 脚。 https://x.com/NBA/status/1900390054104551633 - 照片因不明原因无法上传，所以只有GIF。机翻加破英文润稿，有错请各位不吝指教！ --
