文章来源:https://reurl.cc/WE33Ze What's Going on With Ricky Rubio? -- Many Minnesota Timberwolves fans, myself included, were full of hope for this season. After such a long layoff from Wolves basketball, how could we not be? We were going to get the opportunity to see Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell play together, Anthony Edwards was stealing our hearts, and of course, Minnesota’s prodigal son, Ricky Rubio, returned home. The tables were set for an exciting year of basketball, if not a competitive one. 重点节录:开季前灰狼迷充满着希望。 Well, the fun is over. The Wolves are 3-9, KAT is hurt, and DLo isn’t “that guy,” Edwards doesn’t know how to play basketball yet, and Rubio looks one step from over the hill. Oh, and let’s not forget that COVID-19 is spreading through the NBA like crazy. KAT was diagnosed this weekend, and the Washington Wizards may never play again at the rate that they’re testing positive. The NBA needs to shut down and bubble up before someone gets seriously sick. If one player dies or loses their job because of the coronavirus, all this was not worth it. 重点节录:开季後希望已破灭。 Anyway, I’m not here to talk about COVID. I’m here to talk about Rubio. I’ m not surprised that DLo can’t win on his own, and I’m certainly not surprised that Edwards is still figuring out the game, but I am shocked at how much Rubio has struggled this season. He celebrated his 30th birthday in October, so he should have a few good years left. If he’s washed already, then say so long to my pick-up career. 重点节录:作者不意外DLo无法靠自己赢球、不意外状元仍在状况外，但很惊讶卢小比打不好。目前 卢小比才刚满30岁，照理说应该还能维持身手一段时间。 Rubio is putting up career-low numbers in points, assists, and rebounds — he happens to be playing a career-low 24.5 minutes a game, but there’s more to it than that. Rubio put up 13 points, 8.8 assists, and 4.7 rebounds while playing in 31 minutes a game last season. This year he’s averaging 6.3 points, 5.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds. That’s a big drop. 重点节录:卢小比本季数据生涯新低(平均得6.3分、5.4助攻及2.8篮板)，虽然上场时间也 是生涯最低的24.5，但去年上场31分钟的平均数据是13分、8.8助攻及4.7篮板。下滑的太 扯。 Part of the issue is that the offensive issues that plagued Rubio in his first stint with the Timberwolves have returned in his second go-round. He is shooting a miserable 38% from the field, which shockingly is not the worst shooting percentage of his career. From 2012-2016 he shot 36.8% on field goals. So I guess what I’m saying here is that the offensive struggles are not new. He has always struggled on that end of the floor. But why does it feel like he’s been particularly bad this season? 重点:命中率也很低，但过去他在灰狼时命中也是很低，照理说他应该习惯在这种劣势下 打球，但为何本季的表现让人觉得这麽糟糕呢? Rubio is pretty clearly not in shape. There was a moment during the preseason when he got a steal, lowered his head, and started sprinting down the court. The only problem is, he didn’t get any faster. I mean, he looked like he was speeding up — head down, big strides, dribble out in front of him — but he couldn’t get up to speed. Another moment during a game against the Denver Nuggets when he got the switch against Nikola Jokic. It’s every guard’s dream and something that the Nuggets work very hard to prevent. We all know that Nikola Slowkic can’t stay in front of NBA guards. Unfortunately for the Wolves, Rubio lacks the speed of an NBA guard right now and had to give up the ball because he couldn’t take advantage of the mismatch. 重点节录:作者认为卢小比身体状况不佳。某次在季前赛时，卢小比抄到球，开始低头加 速往前场冲，但是似乎速度上不来，感觉像是打开推进器但车子却无反应。 在另一场与金块的比赛 中，他对位到阿肥，一般後卫对位到阿肥都可以靠速度吃掉甩开他(阿肥常被称为Nikola “Slow”kic)，但卢小比似乎欠缺了NBA等级後卫该有的速度，他放弃这次机会，因为他 无法利用对方的对位失误来取得好处。 An out of shape Rubio is about as useful offensively as a mop bucket. He is shooting 23.8% from the 3-point line this season, so if he’s not quick enough to get around his defender and operate in the middle of the floor, then he doesn’t really have a place in the offense. He’s actually shooting a healthy 53.8% from floater range, and he’s just struggling to get there. 重点节录:三分球命中率低落的卢小比在进攻端如同拖把桶，因此假如他无法在场上快速 绕过防守者，那他在进攻方面就毫无用处(不过卢的实际投篮命中率有达到53.8%的正常水 准)。 後面那句更正:Rubio在抛射范围(约3-10英尺)的命中率有53.8%， 但因为速度不够快，不容易找到这个出手位置。 (感谢guardyo大纠正) But I want to be sensitive to Rubio’s situation. This summer, he was diagnosed with COVID-19. He returned to play in the bubble with the Phoenix Suns, but there is no telling how the virus could still affect him. I don’t want to make assumptions about his health, but it would be wrong for me to ignore that. It’s also completely possible that after the bubble, he took some time for himself and neglected to keep himself in NBA shape. As a fan of basketball, that would be disappointing. As a fan of Rubio and an advocate for work-life balance, I would be happy for him. 重点节录:作者说他不想过度臆测，但去年夏天卢新冠肺炎中标，作者认为卢速度下降可 能与此有关，但也有可能是休赛期间没维持好自己的状态。作者希望卢可以在工作与生活 间取得平衡。 Either way, until he plays his way into shape, it’s hard to take any hard stance on where his game is at. What I do know is that he and DLo have not meshed well this season. I know that his offensive woes don’t pair well with the Edwards and Jarrett Culver, who are shooting a combined 38% from the floor. I know that if this Wolves team has any hope of turning this season around, he has got to play better. 重点节录:卢必须努力回复身手，才能拯救灰狼。 We won’t see Rubio play again until the miniseries against the Golden State Warriors next week due to health and safety protocols. Here’s hoping the NBA takes a hiatus before then for all its players and their families’ health and safety. 重点节录:卢目前因为健康因素隔离中，可能要下周打勇士才能上场，祝福他健康安全回 归!! 心得:确实本季卢的速度慢很多，是否真的是肺炎的後遗症(希望不要) 也有可能是心理因素，毕竟被交易真的很伤。 --
