Scott makes changes, but are they too late? 12:51 PM CST on Friday, February 6, 2009 Bradley Handwerger / WWL-TV.com Sports Writer Opinion/Analysis The question came early and fast – who will be the Hornets’ starters for tonight’s game against Toronto. And as quickly and nearly as fast as the query was asked, Head Coach Byron Scott responded. The only name that stands out: Ryan Bowen. Bill Haber / The Associated Press Ryan Bowen, left, goes for a layup against Channing Frye in a Novermber 2007 game. Bowen is expected to see more playing time in the coming games, Hornets Head Coach Byron Scott said. Yes, that Ryan Bowen. The same player who couldn’t get off the bench or wasn ’t even active for a month straight between Christmas and the end of January. On Thursday, Scott said changes will be coming. He wasn’t lying. Nothing about Bowen, a fan favorite and all around great guy, but the fact that Scott has to insert him into the lineup shows just how dire the situation the Hornets find themselves in is. No Chris Paul or Tyson Chandler has turned into an all-out head-scratching scenario for Scott and New Orleans (28-18), who look to end a four-game slide against the 19-32 Toronto Raptors tonight at 7 in the New Orleans Arena. “They’ll understand after the change tonight that I’m serious about us coming in and competing every night,” Scott said. That’s at least one right thing the head coach is saying, though not a positive thing. He has to insert a player he didn't think was good enough to leave the bench for a month, a player averaging 3.3 points and 1.7 rebounds per game, to show his team playing with energy is important. “Ryan definitely brings that,” Scott said. “The last few games he has played, he has played well. It’s no secret I’m not happy the last week or so with the way Mel (Ely) or Hilton (Armstrong) have been playing. Might as well go in a different direction.” Ryan很认真很努力防守,之前的比赛他打的很好,当然啦我很不爽Ely跟Armstrong 的表现,我想做点改变应该会不错:Scott说 (阿之前是在冰啥......总之冰箱终究是要有人就对) The real question is why didn’t this move come earlier? 但是真正的问题是,为何你不早点作出改变呢????? Chris Paul or no Chris Paul – and to me, lacking Paul right now isn’t the real problem – there has been little heart on defense during this losing streak, the longest in the past two seasons for the club. CP3缺席与否在现在来说根本不是问题所在,输球的这一系列中表现出来的防守心智薄弱 才是这球队长期以来存在的问题 The question is, when it has become apparent the effort isn’t there on defense, why not start subbing at will until you find a lineup that works? Why not put your foot down, throw a jacket to the floor, get a technical foul to get a spike in energy from your charges? 真正的问题是当你的球员努力无法反映在防守表线上时,为何不愿意起用替补球员直到 你找出解决的方法,为何不愿意冲出板凳区扯掉西装,去找你不满意的人事物狂吼直到 领个技术犯规为止 (教皇看太多了喔.....) Certainly there’s a reason Scott is on the sideline coaching and the rest of us are not. 不过这大概就是为何他能当个教练而我们不行吧 But when it’s apparent something needs to change, why leave in players for half a quarter when they’re allowing Joakim Noah, Tyrus Thomas and Derrick Rose look like All-Star starters? 但是当你的球员已经一团乱时,为何你却还把他们留在场上让公牛的一群牛打的 个个像全明星?? Injuries are giving the Hornets and their fans a harsh glimpse at reality. 伤病让黄蜂跟球迷们狠狠的一瞥到真实的残酷 Without Paul, the Hornets don’t have a floor leader who can single-handedly change a game with his multitude of tricks. 没有CP3,黄蜂没人可以单枪匹马独立回天 Without Chandler, the Hornets lack someone in the paint willing to commit fouls but also makes opponents think twice about entering the lane for an easy basket. 没有拳王,没人可以干些脏活跟让对手轻松进入禁区予取予求 Without both at the same time, the Hornets are missing any semblance of a fluid offense or a stout defense. 同时都缺,黄蜂失去了行云流水的攻击跟顽强的防守 And that falls on Scott, last year’s NBA Coach of the Year, to find a rotation and lineup that works. 这这一切重担都若在这位COY教练身上,去找出一个可用的球员名单跟组合 “It’s a challenge because you’re still trying to find a combination that’ s right for you to work for you,” Scott said. “As a coach, I never panic. It ’s not in my nature. I don’t know what it means.” Scott说:这是个挑战,因为你得得一值找到对的化学组合能合你的战术,身为一个教练 我从不惊慌失挫的,我天性就是这样,怕是什麽我听不懂??????..... Maybe it’s time to dial up Merriam-Webster and find a definition. Wait too long and a once-promising season could turn into another year of questions. 也许该是打电话给Merriam-Webster*(注:美国非常知名的字典出版商) 叫他们解释一下给教练听了 应变再慢的话大好江山就将逝去..... --
