“ I really do feel like I've gotten a little bit better each year. This year, it’s one of those things where I feel like when we’re on defense, I can affect the game. ” -- Blake Griffin 「我真的觉得我每年都在一点一点的进步。今年我似乎能感觉到，当我们防守时，我 有能力改变比赛。」-- Blake Griffin The aforementioned “beautiful thing” Griffin experienced in practice is the fluid, almost balletic way Rivers’ Tom Thibodeau-influenced, strong-side pressure defense appears when it’s firing on all cylinders. Most NBA defenses look to avoid rotations -- think San Antonio, Memphis, Indiana to a great extent -- because many open looks in the half court are the result of botched rotations. 前面提到的「满爽的事」，也就是Griffin在防守练习中马力全开，体验了Rivers行云流 水的Thibodeau流高压防守。NBA大多时候的防守(想想马刺、灰熊、溜马等防守雄狮)倾向 避免轮转，因为轮转防守导致大量的半场防守空档。 In contrast, Rivers’ defense aims to exert more pressure on the strong side of the court, and is willing to absorb rotations to do it. This can be risky because it introduces another layer of decision-making into the defensive process. Applying pressure requires a guy to leave his primary assignment to overload, which means someone has to account for his man. 而相反地，Rivers指导的防守强调对强边压迫就需要倚靠轮转。这样的防守有时候比较冒 险，因为轮转防守的过程需要倚靠更复杂的判断。防守球员需要离开他对位的进攻者来做 压迫，这意味着必须有其他人来补防。 “If we overload one side and the ball gets swung, someone has to take off running,” Griffin said. “Then somebody else has to be there to contest the shot. A team might get a shot, but it’s hurried and they don’t get the shot they want. That’s what we’re going for.” 「如果我们过於压迫一边，而球被传导出去时，必须有人迅速跑动。」Griffin说。「然 後必须有人全力干扰对手的投篮，让他们有个不太舒服的出手。而这就是我们的目的。」 Being a help defender represents a far greater slice of a player’s overall responsibilities under Rivers. It’s a different kind of scheme for Griffin, but the vibe around the team is entirely different this season. There’s a sense that problems can be solved, which has produced an interesting combination of concern and optimism, with a strong leaning toward the latter. 在Rivers的防守体系中，协防者的角色极为重要。对於Griffin来说，这是一个新的体验 ，不过对於这支焕然一新的快艇来说，他们有决心突破所有障碍。他们与面前的阻碍营造 了一股悲观和乐观交加的有趣氛围，而刻苦的练习会将节奏带到後者的乐观这边。 “Almost everything feels completely different,” Griffin said. “Obviously it ’s the same facility, the same Staples Center, the same jerseys. But the atmosphere in practice, walking into the arena, it’s way different.” 「这一切彷佛完全不同。」Griffin说。「尤其是当我们带着同样的技术，踏在同一座 Staple Center，穿着同一件球衣。然而，在经历过练球时的气氛，我们走进球场，一切 都变得不一样了。」 Griffin constantly returns to the idea of learning and learnedness. Idle conversations are much more likely to be shop talk, and even though the topics Rivers hits aren't necessarily new, the themes have more staying power and feel like part of a larger creed. Griffin经常思索着他正在学习，和以往学到的一切。Rivers让废话成为了真理，他没有 教什麽新鲜的东西，但是他让以往大家认为的废话充满了力量，并且成为了坚定的信条。 “It’s kind of a weird thing because [Rivers] is saying things I, most of the time, already know,” Griffin said. “But he puts it in a way where I completely, 100 percent understand -- and it sticks with you.” 「说也奇怪，Rivers一再的讲这些我早就知道的玩意。」Griffin说。「但是他把这些废 话根深蒂固的附着在我身上，让我百分之百，无时无刻不记得他。」 One of the earliest conversations Griffin had with Rivers was about his offensive portfolio. Griffin’s size and speed are a matchup nightmare. He’s faster than most opposing power forwards, but can back down stretchy, new-era 4s. Give him space at mid-range and he’s increasingly comfortable taking that jumper. Soon after taking the job in Los Angeles, Rivers spoke to Griffin about being more selective with his game, specifically about identifying the nature of the mismatch. Griffin的进攻手段是他和Rivers最早谈论的主题之一。Griffin的体型和速度对於和他对 位的防守者来说简直是恶梦。他比大多的对手还快，又有着优异的变速技巧，这让他足以 跻身新生代前四强的大前锋。他在中距离的空档跳投也有提升。在接下快艇的总教练後， Rivers和Griffin谈论了如何增加进攻的武器，特别是如何善加利用他天赋带来的对位优 势。 “That was one of the first things [Rivers] talked to me about when he first got the job,” Griffin said. “I was in the facility one day working out and he said, 'I want you to keep shooting, and when you’re in the post, keep working on your post moves. But I want you to face guys up. I don’t think there are many guys who can guard you when you face up.'" 「这是Rivers刚上任时，首先和我提到的事之一。」Griffin说。「有一天我练球时，他 这麽说：『我希望你继续跳投，但是当你在低位时，我希望你可以强攻，当你强攻时，没 多少人扛的住你。』」 Last season, 35 percent of Griffin’s offensive possessions were classified as post-ups by Synergy. This season, that’s dropped to 23 percent. In place of those times when Griffin called out for the ball on the block are spot-up opportunities, middle pick-and-rolls and isolation sets in which Griffin hops on an island against a bulkier big man and does his thing. 在Synergy Sports的统计中，上一季Griffin的进攻有35%是背框单打，这一季剩下23%。 他加入了定点跳投、挡拆，以及面对对方大个子的单打。 "That’s something I’m trying to mix in a lot," Griffin said. "At the same time, it depends game to game. Like against the Rockets, when Dwight [Howard] or Omer Asik is on me, I’m going to face up. But when they put Omri Casspi on me, I’m going to try to back him down. It’s about learning to truly use the mismatches.” 「我尝试在进攻中增加这些变化。」Griffin说。「当然，我也会看面对怎麽样的对手。 例如说对上火箭，当面对Dwight Howard或Omer Asik时，我会硬碰他们；不过他们换上 Omri Casspi时，我会试着让他放弃。像这样学习真正的利用对位的优势。」 The increased selectivity is bearing out in Griffin’s shooting numbers from the floor. His effective field goal percentage of 57.9 percent far exceeds his career best of 55 percent two seasons ago. His assist numbers are down a bit, but he’s also encountering fewer double-teams because J.J. Redick and Jared Dudley merit the defense’s attention behind the arc. The shooting wings have contributed to a slight drop in Griffin’s usage rate this season, but rebounding numbers are up while turnovers are down. 进攻武器的多样也真实的反映在Griffin的数据上。他的efg是57.9%，超越了他两年前创 下的生涯最佳55%。他的助攻数字略有下降，但是这要归功於新队友J.J.Redick和Jared Dudley吸引了防守注意，让他能更专注於进攻。侧翼的射手们让Griffin本季的usg略为下 降，但是他的篮板数字增加了，失误也减少了。 Tensions have existed in Griffin’s game and persona since he arrived in the league: force and finesse, irony and earnestness, monastic discipline off the floor versus showmanship on it. Imagining what Blake Griffin: The Final Product will look like is a fascinating exercise, one reason his evolution as a player never seems to be progressing quickly enough for many. It’s a subtle, slow reveal for an athlete who so often seems larger than life. 从加入NBA开始，比赛的张力和压力一点点的将Griffin的潜力拉扯、压榨而出。从力量到 技巧，再从斗志和态度，他场下的刻苦训练，到场上的发光发热。让我们开始想像这麽一 个完全体Blake Griffin：漫长的训练和摸索最终让他进化，看似进步缓慢，但却是漫长 但是坚定的训练将他铸造成了一个伟大的球员。 今天翻得稍微仓促些 希望不要翻错太多 有什麽地方翻错或没翻好也请大家批评指教 翻完之後觉得Blake Griffin的成长真的是快艇能走多远的关键(虽然似乎是废话) 他不太有过爆发性的成长 但是真的有一点一点再进步 让我想到Karl Malone 从力量大前锋一点一点的收集各种技巧 同样手短的Malone展现出的防守 射程和全面 在Griffin身上都有看出一点点雏形 (除了健康? 不过Griffin大修一年之後出勤率还算高 ) 希望BG和DJ这组年轻双塔能在CP3的巅峰期内练起来 有个两三年冲击总冠军的机会 --
