Unselfish Hornets could have more offensive punch in 2015-16 无私的黄蜂队可望在2015-2016赛季带来更多进攻火力 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — If the NBA preseason is any indication, the Charlotte Hornets are going to be a vastly improved offensive team. 北卡夏洛特(美联社)— 如果 NBA 热身赛真的能代表什麽的话，夏洛特黄蜂队将会成为一支进攻大幅度进步的球队。 The concern will be how well they can defend. 问题就在於，他们防守可以守得多好。 The Hornets made an effort to upgrade their offense this past offseason by adding Nicolas Batum, Jeremy Lin, Jeremy Lamb and Spencer Hawes, along with first-round draft pick Frank Kaminsky. 在今年的休赛期间，黄蜂队在自由市场签下了Nicolas Batum、书豪、Jeremy Lamb 跟 Spencer Hawes，并透过第一轮选秀选到了Frank Kaminsky，升级了他们的进攻。 But none are particularly known as defensive stalwarts and with top defender Michael Kidd-Gilchrist sidelined for six months with a shoulder injury, third-year coach Steve Clifford will be relying on team defense. 但这些球员没有一个球员被证明在防守上可被信赖，何况队上防守最好的MKG因为肩伤休战6个月，以至於教头Clifford只得仰赖於球队的团队防守。 "Potentially we could be a very good offensive team, but if we want to go where we want to go we are going to need to be a good defensive team also," Clifford said. “我们很有潜力成为强大的进攻队伍，但除非我们也成为一支防守坚强的球队，不然我们哪里也去不成。” The Hornets scored more than 100 points three times and started the preseason 4-0, showing unselfishness, solid chemistry and ball movement for a roster that includes seven new players. 黄蜂队的热身赛到目前为止有三场比赛得分超过100分、战绩4胜0败，并展现出无私的球风、良好的化学效应与球的流动性，对一个有七个新球员的球队而言，实属难能可贵。 "The ball is moving and when guys are open the ball is in their hands," Clifford said. “球的流动很好。当球员有空档，我们都能将球传到他们手中。”教头Clifford 如是说。 The Hornets were the worst 3-point shooting team in the league last season, but are shooting 40.2 percent from long distance during the preseason. 去年的黄蜂队三分命中率全联盟最烂，但今年热身赛中黄蜂队团队三分命中率却高达百分之40.2。 "The big thing is what we addressed in terms of more skill, more shooting and ways to create more range shooting — and that is evident so far," Clifford said. "We have more perimeter players who shoot and create shots. But a lot of that is set up by the spacing of the bigs." “就像先前已经提过的，我们最主要的改变是现在的球员中有更多的天份、更好的投射能力，也有更多创造投篮机会的方式。” Clifford说到，“我们有更多能投篮也能创造得分机会的外围射手。但这些也是受惠於队上的长人所创造的空间跟机会。” ================================================ Things to watch from the Hornets this season: 本季观战重点： JEFFERSON'S DURABILITY: Al Jefferson is only 30 years old but he has plenty of tread on his tires having played in 780 career games during his 11 seasons in the league. Jefferson began to show wear and tear on his knees and feet last season, forcing him to miss games. He has dropped 25 pounds in the offseason hoping to lessen the pressure on his lower body. 一、Jeffereson 能否保持健康 Al Jefferson才30岁而已但他已经有相当程度的磨损，毕竟他已经在11个NBA赛季中打了780场比赛。上赛季他已经因膝盖跟脚部的损耗入厂维修了一些比赛。本季 Al Jefferson 瘦身25磅，希望能为下半身减轻一些压力。 BATUM'S ROLE: The Hornets traded to acquire Nicolas Batum, figuring he would play mostly at the shooting guard spot. But when Kidd-Gilchrist went down with an injury, Batum shifted over to small forward, where it is expected he will see most of his playing time. Batum is big and athletic enough to play either position. Clifford is excited about his court smarts and expects him to be one of the top three scorers on the team this season along with Jefferson and point guard Kemba Walker. 二、Batum 的角色 黄蜂队透过交易取得 Nicolas Batum，认为他可以打得分後卫。可惜MKG受伤倒下以致 Batum 必须被拉去打小前锋，他本季大概主要都会打这个位置。Batum 身高够高，运动力也强，无论得分後卫或小前锋都足以胜任。Clifford 对Batum的篮球智商感到非常兴奋，并期待Batum可以和Al Jefferson跟控卫 Kemba Walker一起分担球队的前三得分点。 POWER FORWARD BATTLE: Kaminsky, a four-year player at Wisconsion, may have to bide his time as he looks to find his way into the Hornets rotation. Charlotte is jammed with bigs that include Jefferson, Cody Zeller, Spencer Hawes and Tyler Hansborough. Kaminsky came into the league with an NBA-ready game and has already shown he plays well off the pick and roll. There were plenty of critics who berated the Hornets for passing on Duke's Justise Winslow with the ninth pick, but the team fully believes they made the right decision by taking a power forward in the first round for the third straight season. 三、大前锋之争 当在Wisconsin大打了四年球的Kaminsky想要在黄蜂的轮替中找到位置时，他须要稍微沈潜并等待机会。黄蜂队上塞满了长人，包括Al Jefferson, Cody Zeller, Spencer Hawes, 和 Tyler Hansborough。Kaminsky 已经准备好挑战NBA等级的比赛，并且已经展现出打挡拆的优秀能力。许多人批评黄蜂队在第九顺位放弃了杜克大学的Justise Winslow，但球队完全相信他们连续第三个球季用首轮签选下大前锋是正确的决定。 WALKER'S SHOOTING: Clifford believes Walker could be on the verge of a breakout season with other scorers around him. The 6-foot-1 point guard shot just 30.4 percent from 3-point range last season and is at 31.8 percent for his career. Clifford said Walker has worked extremely hard on that aspect of his game this offseason and the Hornets would like to see him shooting around 37 or 38 percent. 四、肯巴走路人(Kemba Walker)的投篮 Clifford 相信 Walker 本赛季在许多得分好手的环绕之下，将迎接他的生涯爆发年。走路人是6尺1寸的控卫，去年三分命中率只有30.4%，生涯三分命中率也只有31.8%。Clifford表示走路人过去的暑假在各方面都超级无敌认真的寻求进步，因此黄蜂期待他本季命中率可以达到37-38%。 SHOOTING GUARD OPENING: Clifford is set on four of his five starters with Walker, Batum, Zeller and Jefferson. He hasn't figured out who'll start at the shooting guard spot. Lin, Lamb and P.J. Hairston are all options there. Lin is looking to jumpstart his career in Charlotte, and has looked good in the preseason playing games in China. But Clifford also likes the idea of Lin coming off the bench as a second-team point guard. "He can play both positions, which is an advantage," Clifford said. 五、得分後卫的空缺 Clifford已经决定先发五人中的四人了，包括走路人、Batum, Zeller, 跟Jefferson。不过他还没决定谁是先发得分後卫。可能的选项包括林书豪、Lamb跟P.J. Hairston。林书豪迫不及待要开始黄蜂的生涯，且在中国的季前赛看来状况很好。但是Clifford教练也颇喜欢让Lin从板凳出发的主意。 “他[控卫跟得分後卫]两个位置都可以打，这是他的优势。” 连结：http://goo.gl/DDgOji --
