通过5场比赛我们知道的5件事情 评估火箭队季前赛前5场比赛的表现 Five Things We've Learned Through Five Games Sizing up the Rockets following their first five games of the preseason 官网中译版：http://ppt.cc/ElUQ 官网英文版：http://ppt.cc/ahzQ Jason Friedman Rockets.com (以下中文译名全改为英文名，并改了一点错字与用语) 季前赛篮球本质上就像是“一盒巧克力”(※ Preseason basketball is inherently a ' box of chocolates' exercise.)，所有的都在试验与适应环境，你绝不会知道每天晚上会 发生什麽。预测体育运动的结果多数时候具有很大的不确定性。 ※注： Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. 人生就像一盒巧克力，你永远不知道下一个吃到的是什麽味道。出自电影《阿甘正传》。 现在，更进一步，对於火箭队来说不确定的影响因素要放大十倍。由於球队有太多新的面孔 与年轻球员，早期看到更多变化应当习以为常。你喜欢无法预知的云霄飞车吗？现在这支球 队应该对你的胃口。 但是，说了这麽多，最重要的是请记住这些天季前赛的表现，并不能等同於常规赛的比赛。 一支球队用先发的阵容与另一支在演练阵容、球员们在适应环境的球队比赛，怎麽能具有代 表性？现在，采样的样本是如此之小，可以看成是微型的 --当然，现实不能阻止人们的过 度反应。但是，请放心，现在人们大惊小怪的话题，当真正常规赛开始的时候就不会是人们 关心的话题了。 然而，不管你是球迷，新闻工作者，还是NBA篮球运作部门的职员，可能还是无法抵御的利 用手中的数据进行分析，即使这仅仅是5场比赛的数据。其中一部分原因是由於人类的本性 在於填补空白，利用所知道的东西去预测不知道的。因此，在这里不用多说，没有特别的顺 序，根据火箭队5场季前赛的表现，我们能说有5件事情具有不同程度的确定性。星期三晚上 ，火箭队在丰田中心出色地以109-102战胜灰熊队： 1.) Omer Asik已经证明是火箭队不可缺少的球员 Omer Asik may very well prove to be the Rockets' most indispensible player 这样的话已经在这里说过几次了，因此没有必要过多地重复。显然，这位26岁的中锋所能为 球队带来的，是球队中其他球员无法复制的。他的身材、聪明以及令人惊讶的敏捷让他成为 了篮板球的怪物。如果你是一名篮球新人，Asik可能是球队中你最喜欢的球员。看看他防守 挡切配合的办法，他总是试图击败任何人回到篮下，以便能控制篮板。他也能传球给切入的 队友，阿西克就是球队成功不可缺少的球员。 提到这一点，土耳其中锋在星期三的比赛中遇到了犯规的麻烦，这是他季前赛中的第一次； 他在20分钟的出场时间里，得到9分，11个篮板与1次火锅。火箭队需要他每场比赛出场至少 30-35分钟，因此，避免过多犯规将是他首要的任务。不用惊讶的是对手也知道，让火箭队 防守脆弱最好的方式就是让阿西克陷入犯规的麻烦，让他坐到板凳上。 2.) Kevin Martin又回来了 Kevin Martin (aka Captain Efficiency) is back 忘掉去年，Kevin Martin从训练营第一天起，就摆脱了上个赛季伤病的困扰，以良好的态度 、健康的身体证明以往所有强大的武器回归了--甚至还有一些新式的进攻武器─让他成为了 进攻中高效率的球员，即：在与灰熊队比赛的多个场合，背对防守人单打成功，展示了他背 对篮筐进攻的能力。这是我们以後能经常看到的Martin吗？令人怀疑。但是，这已经证明 Martin为自己的进攻增添了新的手段。 星期三的比赛，Martin全场11投8中，砍下22分，包括三分球的5投4中。显然，他以後不会 保持季前赛前几场那样61%的投篮命中率，但是，所有迹象显示，马丁已经可以回到两年前 得分後卫位置上前5名的球员。 值得注意的是：火箭队的教练员一直在表扬Martin在防守端的努力，尽管这只是季前赛， 但是要想在82场常规赛中延续那样的表现还有些难度，但是，这是令人鼓舞的现象。 3.) 休赛期间Patrick Patterson在低位的进步不是开玩笑 Patrick Patterson's offseason improvement in the low-post was no joke 甚至回到8月份，他在低位的表现已明显提高了。但，这仅仅是与一些新秀球员的对抗中看 到的，到目前为止，这位3年级的球员已经提高了篮下的进攻能力。在星期三的比赛中， Patterson有两次勾手投篮得分，全场的数据为17分，6个篮板与3次助攻。当然，这只是季 前赛，但是看到Patterson能对抗灰熊队号称最好的前锋线，这当然是好的迹象。 对挡切配合的防守，根据Synergy体育的统计，他让对手每次进攻平均得到.677分，这是相 当好的成绩。上个赛季尽管作为低位的防守者，Patterson有时候有些挣扎，但是在星期三 的比赛中，在低位防守Zach Randolph 的时候有过好的表现，其中有一次盖掉了Randolph的 投篮，让队友打出快攻，最终Martin三分投射得分。 事实上，值得注意的是，火箭队首发的前锋构成了2012-13赛季球队的防守强度，由Asik坐 镇中间，外加Patterson与Parsons，火箭队前场在防守端有潜力成为防守好的前场组合。 4.)在所有曾穿过火箭队服的人当中，Chandler Parsons是最梦幻的白马王子 Chandler Parsons is the dreamiest dreamboat to ever done a Rockets uniform. (这段是来乱的，没有中翻 XDD，我乱翻一下标题，有错请指正！) Kidding, kidding. Just wanted to make sure you were still paying attention. Besides, any tween girl would no doubt breathlessly inform you that it doesn't take five minutes, much less five games, to determine the veracity of that statement. 不用五分钟 (甚至少於五场比赛的时间XD)，Parsons的帅是所有女孩所认同的！ (强烈怀疑作者只是想用这段来搪塞整篇文章没有提到Parsons个人表现的原因 XD ) (Rapidly) Moving forward to the real No. 4： 让我们来看看真正的第四点是什麽？ Jeremy Lin登场~~ 4.) Jeremy Lin让队友能有好的投篮机会 Jeremy Lin is getting his teammates good shots 在星期一与小牛队的比赛没有出场之後，本场与灰熊队的比赛，Lin看起来活力十足，全场 送出了12次助攻，同时为队友创造了15次以上空位投篮的机会，然而这位24岁的後卫没有为 自己创造好的得分机会，但是今晚他让队友们很好地参与到进攻中。 After sitting out Monday night's game against Dallas, Lin looked refreshed and rejuvenated against Memphis, piling up 12 assists during an evening when that number could have easily exceeded 15 for all the wide-open looks he was generating. No, the 24-year-old point guard's playmaking skills aren't producing big points for himself just yet, but he's been very consistent (with Sunday's clunker against San Antonio serving as the lone exception) in terms of getting his teammates involved and getting them the ball in good positions to score. 那是可以理解的，Lin自己承认，他仍然处於休赛期膝盖手术的恢复中,他的爆发力还没有达 到手术前的水准，这当然会影响到他自己的得分，尤其是依靠运球突破到篮下的得分。但是 ，在防守中穿梭，吸引防守者与传球给队友方面没有问题。因此，只要他能继续这样的表现 ，火箭队很高兴也会有耐心等待他的的爆发，等待他找回得分的状态。 And that makes sense, too. By his own admission, Lin isn't yet operating at peak physical capacity following offseason knee surgery. His burst and explosiveness are not all the way back yet. It stands to reason the lack thereof would adversely affect his scoring more than anything, especially since so much of his own personal point production tends to come from beating his man off the dribble on those fearless forays to the hoop that became such a staple of his game during his rise to stardom. But he's had no such issues weaving through defenses, drawing defenders and kicking to open teammates. So long as that continues, the Rockets will happily and patiently wait for his burst, and subsequent scoring punch, to return. 以下就显示出火箭队的耐心：有趣的是听到Kevin McHale与Chandler Parsons他们鼓励Lin ，并且为他减轻压力。McHale说，几天以前他与Lin进行了坦诚(heart-to-heart)的交谈， 告诉他带着攻击性的心态，打快节奏的篮球。 A postscript to the point about the Rockets' patience: It was interesting to hear both Kevin McHale and Chandler Parsons mention that they have recently taken the time to encourage and implore Lin to put aside any pressure, fear or doubt he may harbor and simply play with unbridled aggression and confidence. McHale said he had a heart-to-heart with Lin the other day during which he conveyed the message to play fast and with an attacking mentality. 星期三比赛的第一节，Parsons把Lin拉到一边，告诉他队友们对他的信任，“在第一次暂停 的时候，我告诉他‘Jeremy，不要强迫自己，不要给自己压力--只是打篮球，就像你一直做 的那样，不要有压力，不要在意，你不是在纽约打球，轻松地去打球，好的事情自然就发生 了。’” Parsons, meanwhile, actually took the young point guard aside during the first quarter of Wednesday's game to reinforce the message that Lin has the total faith of his teammates. “It's just our job to stay in his ear, stay positive to him,” said Parsons after the game. “I talked to him during the first timeout: 'Jeremy, stop forcing it, stop stressing – just play basketball. You ’ve been doing this your whole life. There's no pressure. No one cares. You' re not in New York. Just play ball. We're here for you. Make the easy play and good things will happen. “在下半场，他真的慢了下来，很好地分配球，让我们得到很多上篮的机会。那就是我们需 要的打球方式，那就是他在进攻端领导球队的方式，那样的方式帮助球队获胜。” “In the second half he really slowed down. He distributed well. He looks up the floor and gets us easy buckets a lot. That's the way he needs to play. It's not about points. It's not about anything like that. It's just how he can lead our team on the offensive end and it's about us winning and the way he played tonight helped us win.” 5.) 火箭队的轮换阵容成为了焦点，但是，构图还不是很清晰。 The Rockets' rotation is coming into focus, but the picture isn't quite clear yet 在星期三比赛前，Kevin McHale提到，他对6名球员的表现感到满意，但是，在那之後还是 有点麻烦。在轮换阵容中的第6人可能是Carlos Delfino，在与灰熊队的比赛中，看起来他 当然是，他在三分线外5投3中，得到了14分，4个篮板与3次助攻。同时，Toney Douglas似 乎在替补控球後卫的位置上有一席之地，他替补出场，得到了13分。 然而，其他的轮换球员看起来有些难以确定。考虑到火箭队想在48分钟的时间里都打快节奏 的篮球，当然需要9-10名的轮换球员。这一点是在星期三的比赛後，主教练麦克海尔说的。 那就意味着还要上场的球员会从 Terrence Jones, Jeremy Lamb, Donatas Motiejunas, Marcus Morris 和 Royce White 当中产生。 这支团队的共同点是什麽？没有经验。你知道没有经验的球员每天晚上会是什麽样的？这是 对的：一盒巧克力。不管你是否准备好，McHale与他的教练组不得不深入其中，并找到更多 的答案。 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES AND QUOTES (以下是访谈节录，仅摘录有关Lin的部分) KEVIN MCHALE (on Jeremy Lin) He played well. I think Jeremy pressed a little bit. As much as he tells you guys he's 100 percent healthy, he's not 100 percent there yet. We had a long talk the other day and I told him to,‘Go play. Play fast. Get up and down the floor. Attack. Be aggressive. If you get too aggressive, believe me, I'll tell you. Just go.’ He was better today. I said another thing: Don't worry about who you're passing it to. He was wondering, ‘Can we get Kevin shots?’ The way our offense is set up, the shots are going to flow. Kevin will get his shots. I told Jeremy to just hit the open man; just drive and hit the first open guy you see and let him make the next play. When we get bad offensively, everybody dribbles the ball once or twice and is looking for something specific. Sometimes the best thing you can do is just move and cut and pass and just try to create some space. 参考新闻： http://sports.sohu.com/20121018/n355152887.shtml 麦克海尔称赞了林书豪的表现，透露前天的谈话起到了作用。「我觉得，今晚林书豪表现非 常强劲，配合让我们轻松得分，而且将速度提了上来，他还不是百分之百健康。」麦克海尔 说，「我前天与他谈了挺长时间，他当时问我，是不是要多给凯文-马丁多制造机会呢？我 说，不要考虑那麽多，你先突起来，然後将球传给在空位上的下一个人，让进攻流畅起来， 自然而然凯文也能得到空位机会。最好进攻是，每个人都传球、空切，为其他人制造空挡。 」 (Lin真的想很多耶~ 但是骗人丁真的很会得分啊~~~) JEREMY LIN (On what the Rockets did well) “I think today was a good team effort in terms of running and spreading out and playing fast and free flowing.” (On the Rockets slow start in the 1st quarter)“I think that's one of those things where we need to come out with a little more energy, especially me. It starts with me and pushing the ball and being aggressive early on. We didn't do a great job of that but I'm glad we recovered and tried to make it closer of a game.” 第一节全队表现不是很好，但後来就改善很多了。 (about his conversation with Coach McHale from a few days ago): Yeah, it helped me a lot. Coach is a great person and so he was very honest with me. He just told me,‘Be yourself. Go out, have fun, play basketball. We don't want to put limitations on you.’ But in terms of being aggressive and giving me the confidence I needed it was great. 可参考这篇新闻: http://sports.sohu.com/20121018/n355151430.shtml 对於今晚的胜利，林书豪归功於全队。「这是全队的努力，打得非常快，快攻很多。」林书 豪说，「我们在场上有能量，必须将球快起来，从一开始就冲起来。」 尽管还没有完全恢复，但是林书豪已经感觉自己在向正确的方向发展。「是正确的方向，我 感觉越来越好，向着正确的方向发展。我们接下来一周没有比赛，可以好好训练，学习一些 新的内容。」林书豪说，「心态更重要，在场上感觉更加舒服。我没有太大改变，变得更有 侵略性，努力打好球，做出决定。」 林书豪透露，教练麦克海尔两天前与他的谈话，对自己提升很多。「两天前的谈话，让我 帮助很大，教练人很好，实话实说，他只是告诉我，做你自己，在场上去打比赛，好好享 受快乐。」林书豪说，「他告诉我，他不想对我有什麽太多限制，不想加太多东西在我身 上。但是在加强侵略性方面，他还是给了自信，让我冲起来。」 (on Kevin Martin) He had it going, but it's also my job to foster and facilitate that process, so we’ve been talking. He’s an incredible scorer. Sometimes you just have to give him the ball and get out of his way and other times you have to get him open and get him some quick, easy looks. 称赞骗人丁。 ------------------------------------ Parsons在第一节时对Lin的鼓励让我想起，之前对76人时JJ也做过同样的事。 有时候教练的关怀与队友适时的鼓励，真的可以给Lin带来能量。 接下来没有比赛的一周训练，希望手感快点回来吧！ -- --
