Earl Watson在2015-2016接下代理教练领执教凤凰城太阳，但是并没有赢下很多场胜利 He did establish a rapport with his players and laid out the fundamentals to begin improving the defense. How much did that tell us about what Phoenix will look like under his permanent head coaching tenure? 但Watson做到与他的球员关系融洽，并且打好基础开始改善防守。这能告诉我们太阳在 他升任为正式总教练之後会变成甚麽样子吗？ Probably not much. 也许并不多 Injuries and coaching staff turnover make it hard to predict what the 2016-17 Suns look like on the court. 伤痛和教练组的更动使得2016-2017的太阳变得更难预测 Several buzzwords repeatedly popped up during media day on Monday that tell us about the image Watson hopes to mold his roster into as training camp begins. 而几个不断地在媒体日上出现的队内流行语告诉我们在训练营开始後，Watson会希望 他的球员们会被塑造成的样子 Healthy For now, the Suns feel they’re healthy. 目前为止，太阳觉得他们的球员很健康 With the exception of P.J. Tucker, who said he will try to speed up the minimum six-week recovery from a back surgery, Phoenix will try once again to form a dynamic duo with Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight coming off season-ending injuries. 除了动了背部手术後需要最少6个礼拜复健，但声称会加速(3-4个礼拜)归来的Tucker ，太阳也将再次尝试後场双枪---Bledsoe和Knight，两位从球季报销的伤势中康复归来 Bledsoe has a history of returning strong from major knee problems, but general manager Ryan McDonough admitted that Knight hasn’t been healthy since the Suns first acquired him. Bledsoe有几次重大膝伤的病史，而且McD也承认Knight自从太阳交易得到後并未健康过 The point guard played 10 games as a Sun before injuring his ankle in 2014-15. That required surgery heading into last season, which Knight began not at 100 percent. He played 52 games as an injured groin derailed another season. Knight在2014-15的球季穿上太阳球衣後打了10场就伤到脚踝，这让他在上个球季开始前 需要开刀，使得Knight在开季并未保持在100%的状态，之後打了52场比赛又因为鼠蹊部伤 势球季报销 “I think finally feeling good after the ankle surgery and the surgery for the sports hernia gave him a chance to kind of reset his body and build it all up the right way,” McDonough said, adding he’s seen a different Knight on the defensive end in pre-camp pickup games. McD说“脚踝手术和运动型疝气手术给了Knight机会去让身体休息并且正确地锻链身体， 这终於让我感觉很棒”，在训练营之前的对抗比赛中McD看到一个在防守端不一样的 Knight “The player I saw physically in person here was not the same player I saw on film, in Milwaukee,” the general manager added. “He looks more like that guy. I think a lot of it hasn’t manifested itself in his game offensively last year; I think he settled for jab stepbacks and things like that because he felt like he didn’t have the burst to get to the paint, get to the free throw line, absorb contract and be able to take a hit and get back up.” McD说”之前我所看到的Knight跟我在影片上(在密尔瓦基时)的人是不一样的，现在他看 起来更像是影片的那个人，我认为去年在Knight在进攻端上并未展现太多的东西，像是做 出试探步後的後撤步之类的东西，而不是尝试冲进禁区取分，身体碰撞後制造罚球机会和 被撞击之後能够站起来 Additionally, Tyson Chandler should be in a better place after nagging dings limited his a year ago while forward T.J. Warren is back from a foot injury. 除此之外，在Warren从脚伤中康复回归，Chandler应该比一年前开始出现恼人的小伤 中变得更好了 Transition defense It first seemed like an effort issue. 这似乎是第一次需要努力的课题 The Suns, as Watson and McDonough both admitted, were one of the worst teams in transition defense last season. Even after Watson took over, it was hard to stop the bleeding because of the historic turnover problems that allowed opponents to score 20.2 points off turnovers, the seventh-worst rate dating back to 1996-97. Watson和McD都承认太阳是去年联盟中转换防守最烂的球队之一，在历史级的自爆失误导 致对手能因此拿下20.2分的数据之下(1996-1997後第七烂)，甚至Watson接管後也难以止 血 "Transition defense is first and foremost in building a wall,” Watson said. "We know we struggled with that.” Watson说”转换防守是首要且最先能制造出来的墙，我们知道自己对此很挣扎” To that end, McDonough suggested the Suns will be less aggressive on the offensive glass. McD暗示太阳会因此降低对进攻篮板的积极度 Meanwhile, his coach wants Phoenix to become a top-10 opponent field goal defense. 同时，教练也希望太阳能拥有联盟前十阻挡对手命中率的防守 There were signs the young Suns were improving on defense at the end of 2015-16. Phoenix was 16th in the league by allowing opponents to shoot 45.4 percent from the field in the final 24 games and actually ranked 12th at 45 percent in the same statistic over the last 16 games. The latter came out to allowing 102.9 points per 100 possessions, which ranked ninth in the league. 一些数据能反映去年球季末年轻的太阳球员有在改善他们的防守，在最後24场比赛只 让对手命中45.4%排行联盟第16名，在最後16场比赛只让对手命中45%排行联盟第12名 ，这转换成100回合时只让对手攻下102.9分排行联盟第9 “The ultimate goal is to become a defensive team and have grit and be nasty, play with purpose,” Watson said. “We have great, unique players who can guard more than one position.” Watson说”最终目标是成为一只有侵略性且难缠的防守球队，有目的性的打法，我们拥有 一些可以防守不仅一个位置的独特球员们” Width Watson’s successor and former boss Jeff Hornacek used to say it often: His offense was to run a pick-and-roll and, if nothing was there, swing the ball to the other side of the floor to make the defense move. Watson和前任教练Hornacek常常说到:他们的进攻会放在挡拆战术上，如果执行不了就把 球转移到其他端让防守阵式转移” But the ball rarely left the pick-and-roll. 但是太阳打法却很少不用挡拆战术 Watson’s offense may not start with it. 现在Watson的进攻不一定会首先从挡拆开始打 The Suns want to better utilize the width of the court and could take a page out of Portland’s book, where Triano coached another guard-heavy team in a more motion-heavy offense under head coach Terry Stotts. 太阳想要把球场宽广度更加极致地利用，而且因为首席助教Triano之前在另一只充满後场 人手的波特兰球队，所以也可能使用到阿拓的战术 “I think you’ll see less Eric Bledsoe and Brandon Knight dribbling the ball at the top of the court and having most of the offense initiated that way,” McDonough said. McD说”我认为你们将会比较少看到Bledsoe和Knight在弧顶位置运球且以此首先发动进攻 的次数” Instead, look for more wing-entry, corner-entry or dribble-handoff plays to get the players moving and the defense in vulnerable positions to lose Suns on cuts off the ball. 取而代之的是两翼切入，底角切入，无球进攻..等让球员们移动并且让防守端失去站位避 免被抢断失去球权 Family You won’t stop hearing this one. 你们会不断地听到这个单字 The word is the Suns’ answer to yet another overcrowded guard rotation, but it goes deeper than that. 这个单字用来解决太阳後卫拥挤的情况，但是有比此更重要的事 On media day, McDonough said he was happy none of the guards have a looming contract negotiation, like Bledsoe and then Goran Dragic did heading into the last two summers. The distraction of Markieff Morris’ trade demands after Phoenix traded his brother Marcus began the last offseason and went until the trade deadline. 在媒体日上，McD说他很高兴没有任何後卫有合约谈判的状况，像是过去两年的Bledsoe和 Dragic，另外也没有需要分心的事情，像是从弟弟被送走後一直说”吹密”直到季中终於 被交易走的Markieff Morris Newcomer Jared Dudley said part of his job was rooting out cliques formed in the locker room, while Tyson Chandler admitted the “foundation kind of broke ” last year. 新成员Dudley说他一部分的任务就是把休息室内结党成派的状况给铲除，而Chandler承认 去年是连”基本的事情都损坏了” What’s new this year? 今年有甚麽新的面貌? Watson has brought his coaches and players to yoga and spin classes, while Bledsoe and Knight paid for some of their teammates to bond on a trip to San Diego in the offseason. Watson将他手下的教练们和球员们带去上瑜珈以及飞轮课程，而休赛季的时候Bledsoe 和Knight分摊出钱招待他们的队友们去圣地牙哥旅行使他们的关系更好 “We’re going to go about this thing as a family,” Chandler said. “We hit some rough patches last year where the foundation kind of broke. I think this team realistically a playoff team. Now, some things have to happen in order for you to accomplish that goal — it’s tough with youth. It’s definitely something we can accomplish.” Chandler说”我们打算透过这些成为一个家庭，去年我们连基本的东西都损坏了以至於不 断地陷入困境，我认为这只太阳事实上是一支能打进季後赛的球队，目前有些事情必须按 顺序地发生以让你能实现目标，这对年轻人有点艰难，但这绝对是我们可以做到的" --
