板上各位好像都还没翻这篇吧 那就让小弟献丑了 有翻不对的也欢迎告知 我也有贴在我的blog里 http://blog.pixnet.net/GreenBay/post/9417483 Tim Chisholm 9/24/2007 12:29:00 PM 在上季所有那些遭到伤病影响的球队中，这一支大概是最可怜的。 首先，这是他们待在Oklahoma的最後一季，而在返回New Orleans前能看到他们打进 季後赛应该是一个合适的结局。 第二，看看成绩，在很多人的心目中，大概都认为Chris Paul已经被Deron Williams 超过了。 最後，虽然球队不断的被伤病所肆虐，但是在球季中他们从未认输。他们从未让因为 伤病这个想法去影响他们打进季後赛所付出的努力。在那时，一度只剩下Tyson一个人 有能力去拯救球队，而他也做到了所有他能做的。当Paul和West相继归队後，他们也 一路奋战到四月。 最终他们落後金州3场胜差，当然也失去了季後赛资格。现在让我们来看看新的球季的 这支球队。 熟悉对Paul来说是非常有利的。像Paul这一型打球风格奔放，更像是在表演的控球 需要能够熟悉他的队友才能将他们的潜能最大化。进到NBA以来每一年他的成绩都比 前一年些微提升(平均17.3分和8.9助攻以目前来说算是不错了)。即便只有2年资历， 他已经是名能影响比赛走向的球员了，但是他仍然能够去继续提升他的进攻能力。 他绝对需要去找到他在球场上适合投篮的位置并让这些来改善他的投篮命中率，而如果 他想知道球队在攻击上有多需要他的话，他也需要带着他那容易受伤的兄弟们在场上 作战。 如果Peja能够避免再像上一季一样只在十一月昙花一现般的出赛数场便整季报销，那对 目前的状况真的帮助很大。他在外围的投射能够拉大对手的防线以利於Paul的切入甚至 减少对手对West的看防而让他能够发挥他的中距离投射。理论上来说Peja应该是队上 单场得分最高或是次高的人，而为了达成这项任务他必须保持健康。 让Peja保持健康是尤其重要的，因为在先发五虎之外，球队的深度并不足以面对伤痛。 在这个夏天，黄蜂看起来是用Mo Peterson来一次取代Desmond Mason和Devin Brown， 同时在选秀会上选了Julian Wright然後就静悄悄的。这让球队在板凳上没有太多的 威胁同时这可能会在客场征战中造成麻烦。 所以这意味着这支有着伤病历史的球队现在必须让他们的先发待在场上很久同时 还必须保有竞争力以争取西区的季後赛名额。而期待去年的西区八强会自己鸟掉又是 不切实际的，所以这表示黄蜂必须试着去从这些球队中偷走一个席位。为了做到这些， 球队会把他们的主力操翻而同时又希望他们能整季保持健康，尤其是当他们身处一个 很强的小组和相对较强的分区。当然啦，Impossible is nothing，只是就我来说， 这是一场艰辛的战役。 不过球队确实有理由去期待。过去两个球季，球队的战力天份都和现今相差无几， 而他们当时也仅仅以些微之差被屏除在季後赛大门之外。面对新球季，Tyson必须比去年 更有自信。而在多伦多一个失望的球季後，他有一些必须去证明的。West想要重新让 人们认出他就是那个两年前角逐最佳进步奖的那个West。当然，Paul也想要让人们想起 为什麽就在12个月以前人们还称他是现今在Kidd和Nash以外的第一PG。而有不少的球队 也希望从进入十一月以後能试着去往季後赛之路迈进。 预计先发阵容： PG – Chris Paul 在可见的未来，他和Deron将不断的被拿来比较，而这对两人来说都不公平。他们都是 优秀的传球第一的PG，但是球队的风格不同，个人的风格也不同。也许用一块铜板的 两面来形容他们两个会是比较恰当的。一个善於切入而另一个则可以从任何地方出手。 一个打的是开方式的Princeton进攻而另一个打的是不断传导的motion offense。 一个在运球的创意令人目眩神迷，而另一个则是进攻的枢纽。一个的平均是17.3分和 8.9助攻，而另一个则是16.2分和9.3助攻。姑且让我们称他们做全自动洗衣机吧。 SG – Morris Peterson 一个用来证明上一季没有多少人看过暴龙比赛的事实就是人们对於Peterson是从板凳 出发的是茫然不知的。事实上，Peterson本身的表现不稳定是很大的原因。在经过 一个杰出的2005-06就後他又故态复萌了。也许一个更重要的角色和新的开始能让他 重振自2000年在Michigan State赢得NCAA冠军以来的就逐渐消失的一个出色职业生涯的 期待。毫无疑问的他是球队後场最强的得分手，而且也是队上几名好的防守者之一， 但是他必须展现出他以前从未有过的稳定性，这也是球队所期待的。而要达到这些目标， 关键就是他自己。 SF – Peja Stojakovic 过去三年来大概没有人像Peja一样有着那麽出色的急停跳投(Steve Francis也许有)。 就在不久前Peja还证明了欧洲最出色的一样可以在NBA混得很好。但是那之後发生了 两件事。第一是之後的国际球员开始防守了，同时也拥有更多的进攻技巧，他们并不局限 自己。基本上，像Nash、Parker和Ginobili这一类的球员重新定义了海外球员所代表的 意思。而与此同时，Peja却因伤所困而不断在阵容名单中进进出出(从国王、溜马到黄蜂) ，而现在，他几乎快被世人遗忘他曾是那个让NBA越来越依赖外籍球员的关键人物。 PF – David West 两年前，他和Paul的组合一度让人认为西区一股新兴势力正在兴起。但是去年丹佛双枪和 爵士新的双人组出现了，而西区的势力分布也大致浮现了。他必须重新夺回那在去年因为 受伤所消失的盛名。他应该可以平均拿到18分和8篮板，但是在场上的影响力却比前一年 下降。他看起来非但不像是会在危机时刻出来接管比赛的王牌反而更像是Paul底下的将领 。这支还在成长中的球队需要West能在禁区负担更多的工作，也就是他必须打得更像 大前锋而不是小前锋。当然也许黄蜂对West所要求的远超过他自身的能力，但至少， 在今年作如此的尝试将会让球队知道他们在West身上所投资的4500万美元能够获得的 是什麽。 C – Tyson Chandler 不用说，Chandler是这支球队破茧而出的新星。在他那优异的统计数字之外，他也是球队 在Paul、West和Stojakovic受伤时还能咬住季後赛集团的关键。增加在他身上的责任也同 时增加了那些诸如持续性和球队依赖度等那些过去在公牛队我们所无法在他身上看到的。 他在那几个黑暗寒冷的月份中快速成长，让黄蜂能在Paul和West回归之後战绩快速回升。 一下子，黄蜂用老化的Brown的代价却突然拥有了下一个Camby。他的平均9.5分、 12.4篮板和1.8火锅(63%投篮命中率)全都让人对这支球队的未来感到高兴。 原文： Of all the teams that found themselves decimated by injuries last season, it might have been most lamentable for this team. Firstly, it was their last season in Oklahoma City and it would have been a fitting end to see them in the post-season before they headed back home to New Orleans. Secondly, as a result of this team's record, Chris Paul has been leapfrogged by Deron Williams in the minds of many as the better of the two point guards. Lastly, though, it feels most unfortunate because even though this team was consistently hampered by injuries, they never threw in the towel on the season. They never allowed the idea of injuries to derail their efforts to reach the Playoffs. At a time when only Tyson Chandler was around to carry this team, he did to the best of his abilities and when Paul and David West both returned to the lineup they still had a fighting shot at playing past April. In the end they finished three games back of the Golden State Warriors - and of the Playoffs - and now look towards 2007-2008 with all of the confidence a year together under your belt can offer. That familiarity will be most beneficial to Paul. A point guard like Paul, who runs the show in a far more improvisational fashion than Williams, needs all of the comfort with his teammates he can get in order to maximize their potential. Each year under his belt in an NBA uniform leaves him a little bit better equipped than the year before (although 17.3 ppg and 8.9 apg is a fine place to be right now). While he's already a polished playmaker despite only two seasons to his name, he can still find a way to utilize his own offense better. He definitely needs to find his spots on the floor and stick to them in an attempt to get his percentages up and he needs time on the court with his oft-injured brothers-in-arms if he is to figure out how much the team even needs from him offensively. To help to that end it would be nice if Peja Stojakovic can avoid going out for the season after only a smattering of games in November. His outside shot could do wonders to open up the floor for Paul's penetration and even pull defenders away from David West and his mid-range game. Theoretically Peja should be this team's first or second highest scorer per game, and in order for that to happen he is going to have to be healthy enough to play. It is especially important for Peja to stay healthy because outside of the starting five this team doesn't have much depth available to make up for injuries. The Hornets basically swapped Desmond Mason and Devin Brown for Morris Peterson this summer and drafted Julian Wright and then stood pat. There isn't much to offer teams as a threat off of the bench and that could come back to hurt this team down the road. So that means that this team, with its history of injuries, now has to play its starters heavy minutes in order to stay competitive enough to challenge for a Playoff spot in the West. It would be somewhat foolhardy to expect anyone in the West to really fall out of their top-eight spot if they had one last year, so that means that the Hornets have to try and steal a spot from o ne of those teams. To do that they are going to have to exhaust their main guys and hope that everyone stays healthy enough to complete 82 competitive games in an insanely competitive Division within a very strong Conference. This isn't a case of 'it can't be done', merely a classic case of an uphill battle, personified. This team does have a reason for hope, though. In the last two seasons, with basically the same level of talent, they have only narrowly missed the Playoffs. Going into the season Tyson Chandler has to feeling a whole lot more confident than he did this time last year. Morris Peterson has something to prove after a down year in Toronto. David West wants to regain the recognition he was attaining in his bid for Most Improved two seasons ago. And, of course, Chris Paul wants to remind everyone why only twelve months ago they were calling him the best pure point guard outside of Kidd and Nash. There are a number of teams that would like to have that kind of oomph heading into November in an attempt to crash the post-season. PROBABLE STARTING LINE-UP PG - Chris Paul The comparisons that he and Deron Williams will face for the foreseeable future are unfair for both players. While they are both top-tier pass-first point guards, they both play very different styles for very different teams. Perhaps it should suffice to look at them as two sides of the same coin; one is a master in the lane while the other can hit shots from anywhere. One plays in a wide-open Princeton offence while the other plays station-to-station in a rigid motion offense. One dazzles with his creativity off the dribble while the other sets the offense from the top of the key. One averages 17.3 and 8.9 while the other averages 16.2 and 9.3. Let's just call it a wash and leave them be. SG - Morris Peterson It is a testament to how few people watched the Toronto Raptors that all through last season people were utterly perplexed that Peterson was coming off of the bench. In fact Peterson was his typical, inconsistent self. After a brilliant 2005-2006 season he reverted back to old habits of parking himself behind the arc and disappearing for games at a time. Perhaps with a bigger role and a fresh start he can reinvigorate his career that has been all over the map since winning the NCAA title with Michigan State in 2000. There is no doubt that he is the team's most potent backcourt scorer and one of their best defenders on the perimeter, but he has to commit to consistency like he never has before because this team has expectations and he is key in achieving them and the only reason he wont be able to is because he stops himself short… again. SF - Peja Stojakovic There may be no player who has seen his career hit the skids quite as hard as Peja in the last three years (outside of maybe Steve Francis). There was a time not too long ago when Peja represented the best of what could come out of Europe and play in the NBA. But two things have happened since then. The first is that the internationally trained players got better. They played defense, they had more versatility to their offense, they didn't choke in the clutch. Basically, guys like Steve Nash, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili have redefined what can be found in the talent pools overseas (or over lakes). And while they were off doing that, Peja stopped hitting his jumpers consistently, he was in and out of lineups in Sacramento, Indiana and Oklahoma City and now he stands on the verge of being a forgotten relic in the league's transition to increasing dependence on foreign born players to augment American cores. PF - David West Two years ago West seemed primed to break-out as the other-half of a potent duo between him and Paul. In the last year, though, tandems like Iverson and Carmelo and Williams and Boozer have emerged while West seems like less of a running-mate and more of a complimentary piece. He'll be looking to regain some of his notoriety that was lost last year while he was injured. He may have averaged 18 points and 8 boards per game, but his impact wasn't as forceful as it was a year ago on the court. He seemed less primed to break loose and take over a game and more willing to sit back and be one of the pieces surrounding Paul. This team, especially as built, needs West to start to look to work more on his post game and start playing more like a power forward and less like a small forward. Sure this may be a case of the Hornets asking him to do more than he is capable of, but at least trying it out this year will show them one way or another what they have in David West besides a $45 million investment. C - Tyson Chandler Without a doubt Chandler was the breakout star for this team. Aside from his huge statistical upswing, Chandler was also the key contributor in keeping this team in the Playoff hunt while Paul, West and Stojakovic were hurt. That added responsibility seemed to add a dependability and consistency to his game that he sorely lacked in Chicago. He matured quickly during those dark winter months and that gave the Hornets a mighty boost when Paul and West returned to the lineup. All of a sudden this team had a burgeoning Marcus Camby-type on their roster and all it cost them was an aging P.J. Brown. His averages of 9.5 points per game, 12.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks (not to mention his 63% shooting) all point to positive things for this team in the post for the foreseeable future. 原文转载自此:http://www.tsn.ca/nba/news_story/?ID=219086&hubname=nba -- http://blog.pixnet.net/GreenBay My blog,欢迎诸位参观 --
