原文连结：http://goo.gl/vAgjck Frank Vogel ready to use Paul George at power fauxward The Pacers made some news at their annual golf outing discussing their plan to play smaller lineups this season. Frank Vogel is excited about the idea. Paul George is not. This is strange and it shouldn't be. 溜马在年度的高尔夫比赛中登上了新闻版面并谈论了他们这季打小阵容的计画。Frank Vogel对这个主意感到很兴奋，Paul George则不然。这让场面出现了不应该有的矛盾。 Paul George won't play a minute at power forward for the Pacers this season. Paul George本季将不会有任何时间以大前锋的身分出赛。 The Pacers star will hopefully play 35-40 minutes per game without any issues following his recovery from a broken leg. He will be on the court with four other teammates. Three of those teammates may often be smaller than PG, but that doesn't mean he's playing power forward. 这位溜马的球星如果在腿伤的复原没有任何问题的情形下有望每场出赛35至40分钟。他会 和其他四名队友在场上征战。其中的三位可能体型比PG要来得小，但这不表示他会打大前 锋的位置。 PG will just be playing. PG就只是单纯地上场打球。 Seems like everyone is hung up on the term "power forward" (most notably, PG himself) when in fact in a small-ball, "positionless' lineup relying on athleticism and speed, Paul George will simply be playing. 看起来所有人都很纠结於「大前锋」这个词（特别是PG本人），但事实上在小球「不分位 置」的阵容中倚赖的是运动能力和速度，Paul George就是上场打球而已。 Since the term "power forward" conjures up images of Maurice Lucas, Dale Davis or for you young folk, David West, I like to refer to PG's proposed role as one of a power fauxward. 由於「大前锋」一词总是会让人联想起Maurice Lucas、Dale Davis，或者对年轻一辈的 人而言，David West的身影，我会比较想把PG被安排的角色说成是「大前卫」。 （注：fauxward是现代用语，意思是寄给朋友一个你从标题会觉得很有趣，但是实际上却 还没造访过的连结，可以说是影射PG新球季的定位，这里不才在下用前卫一词，希望能作 为双关） The idea isn't to put PG in the post and have him banging around with bigger bodies. As Frank Vogel described on the Dan Dakich show today, the Pacers want to take a page from the Miami Heat, spread the floor and create room for their playmakers to get to the rim. Here are some quotes on the topic from the Pacers coach: 这个主意并不是要让PG去打低位和其他更壮的肌肉棒子硬碰硬。如同Frank Vogel今天在 Dan Dakich show（印城本地的电台节目，Dan Dakich是出身印第安纳的球员与教练，现 任篮球播报员与电台主持）中描述的，溜马想要借镜於迈阿密热火，拉开场上的空间以让 他们的发动者进攻篮框。以下是一些溜马教练的访谈内容： Vogel on running more: We're not going to turn into a defensive-less, try to score 140 points a game type of team. We want to win. That's the plan here. The goal isn't to go out and just become a running team. The goal is to go out and win games and to do that we think we can be more proficient in the running game and play with some smaller lineups that are going to give us some better offensive spacing and allow some of our elite basket attackers and drivers to have driving lanes to get to the rim. While we're doing that, we're going to hold the same standard on the defensive end. 关於更多跑动，Vogel表示：我们不会变成那种防守门户大开，想要一场比赛拿下140分的 队伍。我们想要赢球，这就是我们的计画，目的并不是单纯地变成一个跑轰大队。我们的 目标是要上场赢球，而我们觉得在这样大量跑动的比赛中投入小阵容可以让我们有更多的 进攻空间并让队上一些强大的进攻者有冲击篮框的机会。同时当我们这样投入时，我们会 让防守端维持相同水准。 Vogel on adding speed: What we've benefited from in terms of size the last couple of years, we've been hurt by our lack of mobility. Even though we will be smaller, we won't be as long by position as we've been the last couple years, we will be faster. Hopefully we can contain better, hopefully we can cover a lot more ground on the defensive end and be more of a rotating team and that will help us get out on the break. 关於提升速度，Vogel表示：和过去几年相比我们的优势在於以往总是因缺乏移动力而受 害。尽管我们阵容会变得比较小，但我们不会像过去几年被位置所限，我们会变得更快。 希望我们可以变得更好，防守的范围可以拉大并且有更多的轮转，在防守反击上有所帮助 。 Vogel on league shift to small lineups: While Golden State won a championship doing that (small ball) this year, this all in my mind, began a couple of years ago with what Miami did. They basically saw two elite offensive players in Wade and James and said, let's give these guys offensive space. Let's open up, let's take the bigs out, let's make Bosh a three-point shooter whether he's at the four or the five, and at times play with five three-point shooters out there and then force teams to try to contain the elite offensive weapons with everybody out at the three-point line. It's very difficult to guard. 关於联盟小阵容的趋势，Vogel表示：当勇士今年以小阵容拿下冠军时，我脑海中浮现的 都是几年前热火的情景。他们就看着Wade和James两位进攻端的菁英然後说：让我们给他 们进攻空间，让我们把空间拉开，让我们将禁区球员拉出来，让我们叫Bosh打四五号位的 时候去投三分，有时候让五名三分射手在场上，迫使对手在所有人都站在三分线外时去对 付这些进攻机器。这非常难守。 So what about anything Vogel described could discourage Paul George? He is LeBron in Vogel's description, the elite basket attacker regardless of which position you put next to his name. 所以Vogel的形容应该没道理让Paul George泄气才对啊？他在Vogel的形容中就像LeBron ，不管你把他放在什麽位置都是个强大的进攻机器。 Later in the day, Vogel went further and told Candace Buckner, he's favoring a starting lineup of George Hill, Monta Ellis, C.J. Miles, Paul George and Ian Mahinmi. In the natural order of that player list, PG is at power forward. 当天随後Vogel更告诉了Candace Buckner（印城星报的记者），他有意将George Hill、 Monta Ellis、C.J. Miles、Paul George和Ian Mahinmi先发。自然而然地，PG就是大前 锋。 We know this is going to be a different season for PG, but as he told JMV on Thursday, he's ready to roll, so he should worry more how his role is defined not labeled. 我们知道这对PG而言将会是个不同的球季，不过正如他在礼拜四在JMV（印城当地的电台 ）上所说的，他已经准备好了，所以他该担心的是他在球队中的角色诠释而非标签。 Paul George on feeling good: I'm better than the old me. Just wiser. A lot of guys get two to three months in the summer to workout and train to improve. It felt like I got a whole year to workout and train to improve. So just being out, I feel much more wiser. Just a better player and better person. Paul George表示感觉不错：我比以前更好了，应该说更聪明了。很多人在夏天花了两三 个月训练以求进步。而我感觉好像花了整年的时间一样。就是如此，我觉得自己更聪明了 ，无论是球员还是作人方面。 PG then went on to say he wasn't thrilled with the idea of playing a new position and figured teams would test his strength and ability to guard bigger players. He didn't back down from the challenge but made it clear he is not a fan of the idea. He expressed similar issues with the proposed plan to Candace Buckner and USA Today's Sam Amick. PG接着表示他并不会对打新的位置，并且对於球队在考验他防守体型更高大的球员时的力 量和能力感到开心。他不会对这个挑战打退堂鼓但表示他并不支持。他在Candace Buckner和今日美国的Sam Amick的采访时都对这个提案表示了差不多的想法。 "Yeah, I believe (that's his main concern)," George said. "It's just being outmatched strength-wise with guys at the four spot is really the only concern. It's not really the concern for one game. It's the concern just over the course of a season just how my body would take it, especially coming off the injury that I had and a whole year of rehabbing. Just not sure of how it's going to take it. (We'll) start camp, see how camp goes. Again, I'm not too thrilled on it, but it could change the more comfortable I get at the position. But we'll see. But again, I could very much end up loving it, so it's all up in the air. I'm open to the position." George表示：「我相信每场比赛能多得六到八分是Larry Bird的主要考量（详见连结的原 文）。但得在四号位上面对体型占优的对手是我唯一考量的点。这不单只是一场比赛，而 是在整个赛季的过程中我的身体如何去适应，尤其是在受伤经历整年复健之後，我不太确 定将会如何。我们会等训练营开始後看看情形如何。再次重申，我并不是很开心，我也可 能会变得在这个位置更得心应手，让我们继续看吧。我也可能会变得喜欢上这个位置，一 切都还是未定数。我会保持开放的心态。」 Someone needs to sell the star better. I don't get the disconnect. 有些人需要让明星更有卖相，我完全能理解。 PG needs to focus on the scheme not semantics. He said he's been in Indy, excitedly prepping for the start of the season for the past six weeks. That's a lot of time at the Fieldhouse, so you'd think PG and Vogel would share more than small talk with one another. PG需要专注於全面计画而非玩文字游戏。他说自己过去六个礼拜人在印城，对新球季的展 开已经跃跃欲试。这是一段不短的时间，所以你可以认为PG和Vogel彼此之间不会仅仅只 有小聊一下。 If PG is truly better than ever, and Vogel gushed over how good he's looked, which would indicate the team won't be protecting PG at power forward, then he shouldn't worry about what position he plays. The Pacers must have PG defending at an elite level again if they want to consider the playoffs this year. That also means he won't be matching up against big guys down low, but instead against the biggest threat on the other team, regardless of position. 如果PG真的是最强的一年，而Vogel也对他的状况赞不绝口，那应该表示球队不会在对PG 打四号位时有所保护，而他也不会对打什麽位置有所顾虑。溜马如果想打季後赛就需要PG 在防守端有顶尖的表现。这也代表他将不会在低位硬扛大个子，而是对位其他球队最强的 威胁，无论位置为何。 Obviously, the Pacers have enough big guys to play big if needed and not put PG at a disadvantage down low. With a versatile collection of players on the roster, the Pacers now have options to attack a variety of matchups. 显然地，溜马如果需要不让PG在低位有劣势的话，需要足够的长人扛内线。在名单拥有更 多类型的球员後，现在溜马有更多种进攻组合的搭配。 Seems pretty clear when you view it through the lens of common sense. Unfortunately, things are blurry as the Pacers head to camp next week and today will deliver a flurry of disgruntled Paul George stories before the team even takes the court together. 常理来看状况似乎很明显了。不幸的是，在溜马下周将开始训练营的前夕，今天这个 Paul George心怀不满的故事让球队集合前的状况似乎仍不甚明朗。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 看来大家都知道PG对於打大前锋OK这点是场面话了 --
