Should Murphy Replace Foster In Starting Lineup? Murphy是否该取代佛爷的先发位置? Mon 1/22, 2007 Q. According to Pacers.com, the team is planning to start Troy Murphy at the center position instead of one of the top offensive rebounders in the league, Jeff Foster. From your inside position, please explain why the Pacers believe that this is the better fit for the starting job. Granted, Foster will still play the important minutes, which is what matters most, however it seems Murphy's offensive capabilities would make him a great match for the second unit. (From Matt in Kokomo, Ind.) Q: 官网上写，球队准备让Murphy代替全联盟最佳进攻篮板机─老佛爷成为先发中锋， 从您的观点来看，为什麽溜马相信这个先发组合？假如佛爷仍能在重要时刻上场才是最 重要的，然而看起来Murphy的进攻能力会是很棒的组合。 A. It seems likely that at some point in the near future, Murphy will get his shot at starting next to Jermaine O'Neal. Though a reserve at the time of the deal, Murphy has been a productive starter most of his career. While explaining the decision to start Mike Dunleavy in his debut with the Pacers before Saturday's game against the Knicks, Coach Rick Carlisle indicated he considered putting Murphy in the lineup, as well. Had it not been for a sore foot that caused him to miss most of that morning's shootaround, Murphy may well have started. It's reasonable to assume, then, that Murphy will soon get that chance. A: 接下来的比赛中，Murphy可能会展现不亚於於小欧的投射。仅管是个补强的交易， 但Murphy本身就是适合先发的球员。上周六对尼克，卡帅解释小邓初登场时就有提到， 他有考虑把Murphy一起摆上先发，但他因为脚痛还没参加早上的练投而作罢，总总迹象 显示Murphy快要有机会了。 Murphy is one of the best-shooting big men in the league, the possessor of legitimate 3-point range. The Pacers haven't had a player like this since Brad Miller was around, and you'll remember how effectively Miller and Jermaine O'Neal worked together. When one post player can set a screen and pop out for an open jumper, or step out to the baseline or free-throw line extended for a 15-footer, it causes big problems for a defense that otherwise would collapse around O'Neal. The Pacers are intrigued by the possibilities this tandem would create, and starting Murphy would maximize its potential. Murphy是联盟中最好的外线大个子之一，三分球也佳。自从大米离开後溜马从未 拥有这样的球员，你一定还记得大米和小欧配合出的高效能。当一个球员可以单挡後接球 来个空档投射，或是在15尺远的底线、罚球线附近移动，都会让防守者很头痛，因为禁区 还有可能会被小欧轰炸。溜马非常喜爱这种高低连线而让Murphy先发可以将战术发挥极致。 Though Foster is one of the most productive rebounders in the league on a per-minute basis, Murphy is no slouch. He was sixth in the league last season and fifth in 2004-05, so it's not like the Pacers would be losing much, if anything, on the boards. Having Foster in reserve should make the Pacers a much stronger rebounding team. Maceo Baston, who has been the first big man off the bench most nights, has not been effective on the boards. 虽然佛爷是最佳篮板魔人，Murphy也不是省油的灯，他每分钟篮板数据上季是第六、 04-05球季更达第五名，所以溜马派他在篮板上并不会差多少，佛爷虽在板凳但溜马全队 篮板能力依然是提升的，像是之前的主力替补Baston在篮板上就没有那麽多建树。 Even if Murphy does replace him in the lineup, Foster will still play his usual 20-24 minutes per game, and he still will be very valuable to the Pacers not only for his rebounding but defense energy. 即使Murphy取代了先发位置，佛爷依然每场会打20到24分钟，他仍旧是非常有价值 的球员，不只是篮板，还有他的防守活力。(完) 重点: 1.看来应该不会有小欧换大米的交易 2.Baston已经变成"前"主力替补了吗.... --
