Scouts Inc. Update: Nuggets vs. Lakers, Game 4 这篇真的值得看，许多地方一针见血，对比赛也有很实际的观察。 来源：http://0rz.tw/4a40q By David Thorpe Scouts Inc. Updated: April 28, 2008 George Karl loves having his players make immediate decisions after they catch the ball, whether it is to drive, pass or shoot. He wants the ball moving quickly, which forces the defense to move with it and ultimately opens up lanes for his talented players to exploit. George Karl喜欢他的球员在一接到球就做出决定，不论是要切入、传球或投球。他希望 球能快速的流动，这让防守必须跟着移动，到最後会被迫打开一点空间，让他手下很有才 华的球员们去突破。 But the irony he is forced to face is that his top two players are considered to be among the biggest ball-stoppers in the NBA. Standing and holding the rock (as Carmelo Anthony often does) and lateral dribbling (as Allen Iverson is known to do) allow the defense to consistently reset and re-orient toward the main threats. 但他必须面对最大的讽刺是，他手下两名最好的球员被认为是联盟里最容易让球的流动停 下来的球员。一直站着并像是拿着石头一样（这是Carmelo常做的）以及横向运球（大家 都知道Allen Iverson爱做的）让防守常常能够重新排列，并重新对这主要的威胁作好准 备。 When the Nuggets move the ball, they can light up any defense. When Melo or AI stops the ball, sometimes their talent is enough to find a way to win. But for Denver in the playoffs, especially against the No. 1 seed and well-prepared Lakers, holding the ball has added up to lots of horrible shots and three losses. 当金块让球不停流动，他们能击败任何防守。当Melo或AI把球停下来，有时候他们的才华 还够他们找到方法赢球。但这次丹佛在季後赛，特别面对的是来势汹汹的第一种子湖人， 停球只会让他们有一大堆滥投以及三场败仗。 The Nuggets are now faced with a potential sweep, an all-but-certain first-round loss and possibly the end of the short-lived combination of their two star players. 现在金块很有可能被横扫，这可能导致这对组合的结束。 Los Angeles has certainly made it difficult for Melo to get buckets. He always has to deal with his own defender -- often the tall and long Vladimir Radmanovic, who has played him straight up (mostly) and invited him to shoot perimeter shots. 洛杉矶的确让Melo难以轻松得分，永远都会有一个防守者在身边，通常都是身高高又手长 的Vladimir Radmanovic，通常就只是把手举高，并欢迎他投中长距离的球。 But the Lakers also have pulled Derek Fisher toward him, allowing Fisher to swipe at his dribbles or clog up any middle drives. Plus, to further cut off Melo's angles to the basket, the Lakers have dragged Lamar Odom over to the same "box" Melo is in. 但湖人也让Derek Fisher去贴近他，让Fisher在他运球时抄截或当他切入中间时堵住他。 在加上他会先把Melo靠近篮框的角度封死，并让Lamar Odom在这个空间中拖住他。 These tactics would be risky maneuvers if the Nuggets would employ some quick, "swing, swing" passing action, which could end up with a dunk, interior foul or a wide-open 3-point shot in the opposite corner. 这个战术是很危险的，如果金块能让球快速的转移，结果可能就是灌篮、内线的犯规或是 对角大空档三分。 But the Lakers counted on Melo holding, reading and then either shooting or driving into the teeth of the defense. His catching and squaring without passing killed any chances for him or his team to get easy looks. 但湖人相信Melo会停球，阅读防守然後投球或运球切入防守的陷阱里。只要他接球单打不 传球就让他以及他的球队没有轻松进球的机会。 Melo finished Game 3 with 5-for-22 shooting and is now 24-for-68 for the series. Iverson shot 5-for-16 and is 26-for-61 in the three games. The rest of the Nuggets, who feed off of these two, went 22-for-48 in Game 3. Imagine if they got 68 shots. George Karl is thinking about that right now. Melo第三场投22只中5，本系列总共投68只中24。Iverson则投16中5，系列投61中26。金 块其他一直喂球给这两人的球员在第三战加起来投48中22，想像一下如果他们出手68次会 怎麽样？George Karl现在也在想这个问题。 Because of AI's ability to finish against guards and wings, the Lakers challenged their bigs to make things difficult on him. The Spurs employed a similar strategy against Iverson last season, to great success. 因为Iverson在对抗後卫以及两翼球员之後仍然能够把球放进，於是湖人就用他们的大个 去干扰他让他更难出手。在上个赛季，马刺就用了类似的策略对付Iverson，结果非常成 功。 Iverson is still an incredible athlete and as relentless as ever, but he's not very good at finishing over guys like Odom and Pau Gasol. Those two guys have mostly ignored their own men, allowing Kenyon Martin to finish 6-for-11 -- including some incredible dunks that should have energized every Nugget player and fan in the building. Iverson仍然是一位出色的运动员而且一直都是，但是当他对上的是像Odom以及Pau Gasol 这样的家伙，就很难把球弄进篮框。这两个人常常因此无视自己的防守对象，导致Kenyon Martin上场投11中6，其中还有些应该要能给予金块球员以及球迷激情的灌篮。 Marcus Camby, who likes to get some shots each half and thus feel a part of the offensive end of the floor, didn't get many looks, going 0-for-2 for the game. Marcus Camby是一位需要在上下半场都有些出手机会才能感觉自己有进入进攻状态的球 员，但这场球他没得到多少机会，只有投2中0。 There is no more telling statistic than AI and Melo combining for four total assists in Game 3 -- half the number Kobe dished out himself. 还有什麽比这个数据，AI与Melo两人在第三战加起来只有4助攻，Kobe一个人助攻数的一 半，更能说明这个事实呢？ Denver's effort on defense was adequate for awhile, as they were shading off of guys like Odom and Fisher and forcing Kobe to look at numerous white jerseys in his path to the basket. 丹佛曾经试着防守一阵子，他们盯住了Odom以及Fisher这样的家伙，并让Kobe切入篮下 的路上都是他们的人。 But players who get shut out of their offense tend to lose interest on defense, and so it went for the Nuggets. 但是当球员进攻端打不开的时候就会对防守失去兴趣。 They again did a fine job in transition, making the Lakers work harder than they had to in Game 1. 他们又重新在转换上做的好极了，让湖人要做的比第一战难多了。 But Denver's attention to detail was poor throughout the game: the Nuggets gave up easy baskets on simple initial actions, like a back screen involving Melo and Camby's men. 但丹佛整场都对细节很不注意：金块放弃了许多启动刚开始简单的拿分机会，像是Melo与 Camby两人在底线的掩护。 L.A. seemed content to run its triangle, trying to make easy plays every time down and focusing on not turning the ball over (eight turnovers for the game). Denver didn't do anything to shake the Lakers out of their rhythm. 洛杉矶看来更愿意好好跑他们的三角，每次进攻都试着做出轻松的出手机会，以及注意不 要有任何失误（上场全队只有八失误）。丹佛完全没有作任何事去破坏湖人的节奏。 Of the 16 playoff teams, no single team has been more disappointing or has played worse than the Nuggets. 在16支进入季後赛的队伍中，没有一队打的比金块更叫人失望的。 They were horribly disinterested in defending in Game 1. 他们在第一战完全不防守。 Then in Game 3, they were incredibly unwilling to move the ball quickly against a well-prepared defense. 在第三战，他们面对一个准备充分的防守，又神奇的不愿意快速的移动球。 Once again, the postseason has been a nightmare for this group of talented individuals. But it should be over soon. 季後赛再一次成为这支才华洋溢的球队的恶梦，不过这也很快就要结束了。 PREDICTION: Lakers win Game 4 预测：第四战湖人赢 难得有一篇不是在讨论Melo的放弃论。 这系列什麽都好，就是出太晚，每次翻了也没什麽要看。 --
