原文标题: SVG’s dilemma: How to recast Pistons bench without hurting dominant starting unit 原文网址: http://www.nba.com/pistons/features/svgs-dilemma-how-recast-pistons-bench- without-hurting-dominant-starting-unit When Steve Blake dished out 12 assists in 24 minutes in his first preseason game – one practice under his belt after missing three weeks with a concussion suffered on the second day of training camp – the easy assumption was that a 13-year veteran could get by without all those two-a-days, videotape sessions and exhibitions. 当Steve Blake在他的首场热身赛上场24分钟并传出12次助攻後—热身赛前他因为训练营 的练习而产生了脑震荡而缺席了三周—我们开始幻想也许这名有着13年资历的老将能不用 透过和队友一同练球以及那些影片课程也能和队友打出漂亮的配合。但经历过昨晚的比赛 ，也许事情没有我们想得那麽简单。 Maybe not. But maybe that wasn’t the right perspective in the first place. Instead of focusing on how the absence would affect Blake, perhaps the more relevant question was what impact going without the second team’s point guard for an extended period would have on the unit as a whole. It’s not like they have last year to fall back on here, either. Of the five players who began the season in Stan Van Gundy’s second unit, only Anthony Tolliver and Jodie Meeks were on the roster when last season ended. Then Meeks – the player around whom much of the second-unit offense was designed – was lost in the first half of the season’s second game, replaced by yet another first-year Piston, Reggie Bullock. 但与其讨论训练营中的缺席对於Blake的影响，或许更重要的问题在於替补阵容在很长一 段时间中少了控球後卫後带来的冲击。 在大范教练开季使用的五名替补球员中，只有Anthony Tolliver和Jodie Meeks去年在队 上。去年替补阵容的进攻战术主要都围绕在Meeks身上，但他在球季中第二场比赛的上半 场被今年才加入活塞的Reggie Bullock给取代了。 On the great chemistry continuum of the NBA, the second unit is still at the speed-dating stage. Tolliver doesn’t expect it to take weeks to coalesce, necessarily, but he also is willing to chalk up Tuesday night’s second-quarter disaster – Indiana turned a six-point deficit into a 14-point lead with a 20-0 run over five minutes to start the quarter – in some measure to the dislocation his group has suffered. 在强调化学效应的NBA里面，我们的替补阵容还是处於快速约会(注1)的阶段。 Anthony Tolliver没有预料到他们在开季後还是需要几个星期的时间来磨合，不过他仍然 愿意谈论星期二晚上比赛中第二节的灾难--溜马队先是追回六分落後，接着一口气连得了 14分，在第二节一开始的五分钟打出一波20-0的攻势—尽管他和替补阵容承担了输球的压 力。 “It’s always an adjustment whenever you have a different point guard,” Tolliver said of the sheer lack of minutes the second unit has been together under Blake’s direction. “He’s been showing signs of being great for us. I ’m not worried about chemistry within the second unit. I think as we play more together and kind of get used to each other more, we’ll be fine.” “当你和不同的控卫打球的时候总是需要调整，”Tolliver谈论到替补阵容很少在Blake 的带领下打球。"他有显现出一些会为球队带来成功的徵兆，所以我并不担心替补阵容的 话学效应。我想我们只是需要更多一起打球的时间，然後就能习惯彼此了，我们会没问题 的。" The Pistons, about to embark on an 11-day, six-game road trip on Thursday, had a scheduled day off on Wednesday. But you can bet Van Gundy will be in the lab, wrestling with decisions on how to help the second unit without it coming at the expense of a first unit that’s been really good. His options vary from more extreme measures like moving a starter to the bench, to middle-of-the-road fixes like altering his rotation pattern so the bench doesn’t play as a five-man unit, to staying the course and hoping a little greater familiarity leads to the type of productivity Van Gundy anticipated coming into the season when he saw depth as a decided strength of the Pistons. 活塞队在星期四即将展开为期11天的六场客场比赛，因此星期三是他们的休息日。但我敢 打赌大范教练现在一定在他的实验室中绞尽脑汁思考要怎麽要帮助替补阵容更上一层楼-- 在不影响到表现优异的先发阵容的情况下。 他的选项从极端的把先发阵容的其中一人调去板凳，或是修改轮替阵容不让替补总是同时 五人上场，或着祈祷他们对彼此打法的熟悉程度能带来更多分数。大范教练认为，阵容的 深度能决定活塞队这个赛季的成功程度。 “We’re going to have to rethink the whole thing,” he said. “It’s only been four games – and we’ve had some guys have some decent individual games – but that unit is not playing well. It’s really been our starters carrying us. We’re going to have to find a better rotation. We’ve either got to find something that will help them offensively or we’ve got to get a different rotation.” "我们需要重新思考整个状况。"他说。"现在只打了四场比赛，但我们已经有些球员打出 不错的个人表现，但其实第二阵容的表现没想像中那麽好。事实上，都是先发阵容在带领 着球队赢球。所以我们需要找出更好的轮替阵容。不是找出能帮助他们进攻更有效率的方 法，就是我们需要不同的轮替阵容。" Van Gundy could elect to get Marcus Morris out of games midway through the first quarter, for instance, and then bring him back to start the second as the go-to scorer with the bench. But there’s a downside to consider in reducing the time the starters spend together, too. “We may have to do that, which means then you’ve got to break your lineup early – which means you’re not going to go on a run to get the lead,” Van Gundy said. “We have to somehow figure it out. Because right now that part’ s not working.” 举例来说，大范教练可以在第一节中把Marcus Morris换下场，并让他在第二节的替补阵 容中担任主要得分手。但这样可能也会减少先发阵容有机会磨合的时间。"我们可能会需 要这麽作，但这意味着将你的先发阵容提早打散--也就是说，这样在球赛中很难取得领先 。我们需要把这件事情搞清楚，因为现在的轮替阵容看来是对球队没甚麽帮助的。" Another real option: cutting the rotation down to eight or nine players. Van Gundy could spread the wing minutes around between Morris, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Stanley Johnson, effectively eliminating Bullock’s role. Or he could keep Bullock in place and use more of Morris at power forward with Johnson assuming a greater share at small forward, which would squeeze Tolliver’s minutes. 另一个可行的选项:把轮替阵容减少到八或九人。大范教练可以把侧翼球员的时间平均分 配到Morris、KCP和SJ身上，有效的降低Bullock的角色。或者，他可以把Bullock继续打 侧翼的位置，让Morris以大前锋的角色出赛。并让有可靠投射能力的SJ担任小前锋的角色 ，尽管这样将会挤压到Tolliver的上场时间。 But most coaches, and Van Gundy’s track record puts him in that company, are loathe to make major changes on such small samples. Bullock played so well in the preseason the front office picked up his fourth-year contract option. It might seem a little premature to cut out his role now after 25 minutes of playing time for the season. 但大多数的教练，包含大范在内都不喜欢依据小样本来做出这样重大的改变。Bullock在 季前赛的手感火烫，球团决定实行他的第四年选项。不过在他本球季上场25分钟後就决定要缩 减他的角色似乎还有点太早。 He’ll weigh the potential downside of significant change against the risk of squandering the early momentum generated by their 3-0 start by continuing to roll with a struggling second unit. The youngest among them, Johnson, isn’t ready to write off his group just yet. 大范教练会评估这个改变可能带来的风险，尤其是他们开季三连胜的气势十足—尽管带着 打的不怎麽好的替补阵容。 “It’s only been four games,” he said. “Let’s not lose perspective. We’ ve been on track a couple of times. Not anything crazy.” It might not come soon enough for Van Gundy’s satisfaction, but help is on the way. Brandon Jennings is expected back at some point in December and if he ’s up to speed, he immediately becomes the central figure and prime scoring threat for the bench. Meeks could be back in February. That’s a lot of punch and scoring versatility waiting in the wings. It’s also a lot of punch and scoring versatility not available to Van Gundy as he ponders changes in advance of the season’s longest road trip. “We’re going to have to figure that out,” he said. “I mean, that’s my job. We’ve got to figure out how we’re going to have to play that to get better play out of our bench.” "这只是我们的四场比赛而已，”大范教练说，”不要忘了，我们现在打的正顺，还不用 急着去做出任何疯狂的改变。” 大范教练的帮手正在路上，Brandon Jennings也许能在12月时归来。如果成真的话，他会 立刻成为板凳上的得分重心。Meeks则是预计在2月回归，届时将能带来侧翼期待已久的得 分能力。 但在他们回归前，大范教练需要先思考在即将来到的这段最长的客场之旅他需 要先做出甚麽样的改变。 “我们会找出办法的。”他说。”我的意思是，这是我的工作，我需要找出怎样的替补阵 容才能打得更好。” 心得:希望替补给力点啊....那天看到第二节的比数都差点崩溃了。一只好的球队 是不能只靠先发的，只能期望BJ和Meeks赶快回归了 --
