※ 引述《gonzdevour (Trade Saras!!!)》之铭言： : Pacers Face Crossroads at Midseason : 溜马在季中面临十字路口 : By Conrad Brunner | Jan. 25, 2006 : 翻译:gonzdevour : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- : This isn't just the midpoint of the season. It's the crossroads. : 这不只是本赛季的中间点，而是十字路口。 : Dealing with a relentless procession of injuries and Ron Artest-related : distractions for the second season in a row, the Pacers are 21-20 and : mired in a protracted slump that has brought four consecutive losses : and six in eight games. : 连续第二个球季面对无情的伤病以及阿泰惹出的麻烦事， : 溜马总计21胜二十败，并且陷入了低潮的泥淖， : 四连败，在八场比赛中输了六场。 : As disappointing, frustrating and occasionally maddening as this season : has been, however, the situation is anything but hopeless. Though the : Detroit Pistons are out of reach, dominating the Eastern Conference : with a 34-5 record, no one else has broken away. Though the Pacers are : tied for sixth, they're just two games out of fourth, which offers : homecourt advantage in the first round. : 虽然本季已经令人沮丧、挫折、甚至抓狂，但状况并非绝望。 : 虽然底特律活塞远在天边，以34胜5败的佳绩主宰了东区，但一切总得按部就班。 : 虽然目前(与76人)并列第六，但跟第四名只有两场胜差； : 只要取得第四就能够在季後赛第一轮取得主场优势。 : And so, as we look ahead to the second half of the season, we take a look at : the numbers that have shaped the first half as well as the problems, and : potential solutions, they reveal. : 如是，当我们放眼下半季时， : 回头看看那呈现上半季种种问题的数字，那麽可能的答案就会浮现。 : FOR STARTERS, THE STARTERS: By now, you probably know the Pacers have used : a lot of different lineups (19) and that no one group has stayed together : very long (since Artest's de-activation, no group has lasted longer than : six games). Given the constant flux, it's difficult to get a handle on which : group has played the best together, but deeper analysis reveals indicators : as to who is best suited to play where. : [关於先发阵容]: : 此刻，你可能知道溜马采用了许多不同的阵容(19)， : 而其中没有任何一种运作得够久。(自从阿泰不启用之後，没有一个阵容运作超过六场) : 因为经常的变动，很难知道哪一组人马打得最好。 : 但是更深入的分析会显示球员最适合打哪一个位置。 : Though he doesn't like playing the position, Jermaine O'Neal is 12-5 as the : starting center and just 5-11 at power forward. Austin Croshere is 15-8 as : the starter there. When Croshere and O'Neal have been paired in the : frontcourt, the Pacers are 11-4. : 虽然小欧不喜欢打中锋，但他在中锋位的成绩是12胜5败，大前锋位则是5胜11败。 : 战警当先发大前锋时有15胜8败。这两人同时被安排在前场时，溜马11胜4败。 : Stephen Jackson has proven much more successful as a shooting guard (16-11) : than a small forward (5-9). In Artest's absence, no one has asserted himself : as the answer at that position, although rookie Danny Granger (6-5) has : showed of promise. : 帅脸打得分後卫(16胜11败)比打小前锋(5胜9败)好。 : 阿泰缺阵时，没有人认为小葛是小前锋位的正确答案，虽然他的确带来了希望(6胜5败)。 : Though Jamaal Tinsley has struggled since returning from an injury to his : right arm, the Pacers have been substantially better with him in the lineup : – but only when he's at full strength. The Pacers won 12 of Tinsley's first : 18 starts but have dropped the last three. Anthony Johnson was 8-9, while : Sarunas Jasikevicius was 1-2. : 虽然小汀归队後表现不佳，溜马实质上还是需要他 - 完全健康的他。 : 溜马在小汀早先的18次先发中赢了12场，但最近却连输了三场。 : 老强先发时8胜9败，小叶则是1胜2败。 : By the numbers, the best lineup would be Tinsley (12-9 at the point), : Jackson (16-11 at shooting guard), Granger (6-5 at small forward), : Croshere (15-8 at power forward) and O'Neal (12-5 at center). : Interestingly, that group has yet to start together. : 按数据，最佳五人应该是小汀(PG)/帅脸(SG)/小葛(SF)/战警(PF)/小欧(C)， : 诡异的是，这个阵容还没有一起先发过。 : STARTS, RE-STARTS PROVING PROBLEMATIC: In a four-game stretch, the Pacers : managed to fall into a double-digit hole in the first quarter of each. : Though it hasn't happened in the last two, it seems they merely postponed : the problem. The Pacers have been outscored 54-28 in the third quarters of : the last two games on the way to getting blown out in both. In Atlanta, : the Hawks put together a 25-10 run. In Cleveland, the Cavs took it further, : scoring 14 in a row to start a 23-2 burst. : [关於上下半场开局的问题]: : 在四节的比赛中，溜马有十多场输在第一节。 : 虽然前两场并非如此，但这只是把麻烦拖延到下半场。 : 溜马前两场比赛的第三节得分总计以54-28落後对手，两场都因为这样而被扫地出门； : 在亚特兰大，老鹰打出二十五比十；而在克里夫兰，骑士更过份， : 连得十四分，以23-2开始下半场。 : There is a common thread to the first- and third-quarter malaises, : and it takes us back to our first topic: the starting lineup. : Though much has been made of the second unit's strong play of late, : that masks the bigger problem of the first unit's protracted slump, : regardless of its makeup. In the last 19 games, the starters have been : outscored 14 times, by an average of 8.1 points. The team has gone 7-12 : in that span. The starters had averaged 70.9 points while going 15-6-1 : against their counterparts in the first 22 games, but their output has : dropped to 57.4 points since. : 上面只是整理出一三节冷感的共通性而已。 : 问题还是出在我们的第一个主题:先发阵容。 : 虽然一三节之後会由替补球员的爆发来弥补， : 但是这掩盖了更严重的问题:先发的低潮。 : 抽丝剥茧来看，在过去的十九场比赛中，先发得分落後给别人十四次， : 平均落後8.1分，球队7胜12败。 : 在开季的22场比赛中，先发平均可以得到70.9分， : 若仅仅与他们对手的先发阵容相较，有十五胜六败一和。 : 但自那之後，先发的贡献遽降为57.4分。 : THE BEST, AND WORST, THINGS IN LIFE ARE THREES: Among the many indicators : of team performance, none has been more consistent than 3-point shooting. : In their last 17 losses, the Pacers have gone 79-of-293 from the 3-point : line, a woeful percentage of .270. In their last 14 victories, they've : gone 122-of-274, a sterling mark of .445. The magic number has settled at : seven. When the Pacers make at least seven 3-pointer in a game, they're : 14-4. When they do not, they're 7-16. : [成也三分败也三分]: : 在球队数据的那麽多指标中，没有一个像三分球那麽正相关。 : 在过去的十七场败仗里，溜马三分球出手293次仅命中79球，命中率为凄惨的.270。 : 在十四场胜仗中，三分球出手274次命中122球，是镶金的.445。 : 7是魔法数字；溜马投进七球以上的三分时，14胜4败，七球以下，则7胜16败。 : IN NEED OF A REBOUND RELATIONSHIP: Perimeter shooting comes and goes, : but productivity in effort categories like rebounding should be a constant. : Shouldn't it? Not for the Pacers, who've been wildly inconsistent on the : boards. In their 21 victories, they've outrebounded teams 934-870, : an advantage of 3.0 per game. In their last 19 losses, they've been : outrebounded 847-726, a deficit of 6.4 per game. The Pacers don't need : to be a dominant rebounding team to compete. They do, however, need : to be consistently competitive on the boards. : [IN NEED OF A REBOUND RELATIONSHIP]: : (嗯.....这要怎麽翻?) : 投篮手感难免时有时无，但是努力的产物-例如篮板球， : 总该是很稳定的数据吧? 很可惜，这种说法对篮板落差极大的溜马不成立。 : 在二十一场胜仗中，溜马篮板以934-870领先对手，平均每场多抢了三个。 : 而在过去十九场败仗中，他们以847-726落後对手，平均每场"被"多抢了6.4个。 : 溜马不必勉强自己成为一支篮板强队，他们只必须保持一贯的奋战精神。 : INDIVIDUAL TRENDS: Though no one on the team qualifies as hot, : Jeff Foster has been consistently productive for more than a month, : averaging 7.2 points and 8.5 rebounds while shooting 62.1 percent from the : field. … Granger had his first double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds : in Cleveland. … David Harrison's time as the starting center could be : waning. He has totaled five points, seven rebounds and 12 fouls in his last : three starts and has gone Dudley at the free-throw line, missing 12 of his : last 13. As a starter, Harrison is 8-of-30 at the line (26.7 percent). … : Since battling health issues (he missed three games with pneumonia, three : more with a sprained ankle and now has a groin injury), O'Neal's production : has dropped. He's averaged 16.0 points and 9.0 rebounds while shooting 43.3 : percent from the field in his last eight games. He's gone 12-of-27 from the : line (44.4 percent) in the last three. … After being out nearly a month : with his right elbow injury, Tinsley has been rusty, averaging 5.5 points on : 27.3 percent shooting while totaling more turnovers (13) than assists (11) : in four games : [个人表现]: : 虽然本队没有人可以称得上是火热， : 但佛神在这一个多月里有稳定的贡献，平均7.2分与8.5篮板，命中率为.621。 : 小葛生涯第一次double-double，对上骑士时拿到12分11篮板。 : 大哈先发中锋的时间可能会被压缩。前三场先发中总计得到5分7篮板12犯规， : 并且罚球跟Chris Dudley一样废，过去13罚只有1中。 : 当大哈先发时，罚球总计为30罚8中，.267的命中率........ : 小欧与健康问题缠斗後(肺炎三场，三场以上扭到脚踝，现在则是鼠蹊受伤)， : 贡献下滑，平均16分9篮板，过去八场比赛的命中率为.433； : 过去三场的罚球27投12中，命中率.444....... : 小汀养了一个月的肘伤，功力大失。在四场比赛中平均5.5分，命中率只有.273， : 且失误了13次，比助攻(11次)还多。 : ========================================================================= : 算啦，输赢已经不重要了， : 只希望後天的比赛是一场精彩的比赛。 马上就可以测试新阵容带来的化学效应了 先发五人应该是小汀(PG)/帅脸(SG)/Peja(SF)/战警(PF)/小欧(C)， Peja的3分球搭配帅脸的切入以及小欧的中距离应该会使进攻更多元 而前场Peja和战警的搭配 高度和机动性 来说有番新气象...... 看起来会相当不错呢... -- --
