Storylines for 2022-23: How aggressively will Pistons push Stewart to the 4? 22-23季前系列: 活塞队打算用多激烈的方式把Stewart推到4号位? 发文日:2022/Sep/12 作者: Keith Langlois Even as Isaiah Stewart rarely strayed outside the paint as an NBA rookie, Dwane Casey insisted that one day he would launch 3-point shots often and effectively. Sure enough, after taking only 28 triples in the first 63 games, Stewart squeezed off 35 in his final 10 games and hit 6 of 15, 40 percent, in the last three alone. 虽然Stewart的菜鸟年期间几乎没有离开过禁区，但Casey教练坚持有一天他会稳定而且 有效的提供三分火力。当然啦，在那个赛季的前63场比赛中只在三分线外出手了28次之 後，Stewart在赛季最後10场比赛出手了35次，而且在最後3场比赛投15中6，缴出一个4 成三分球命中率的成绩单。 Then his second season began and Stewart almost never took a triple unless the ball found him with the shot clock about to go off and his options severely limited. The blueprint was exactly as it was a year earlier: 28 3-point shots over Stewart’s first 63 games. 接着他的第二个赛季开始，Stewart又几乎没有三分出手，除非球交到他手上的时候进攻 时间即将归零同时他的出手选择极度受限。这个开头跟他的菜鸟赛季完全一样:前63场比 赛只有28个三分线外的出手。 That was by design. As a newly elevated starter, Stewart faced enormous challenges as the quarterback of Casey’s defense and was doing it while adjusting to the serious uptick in quality of opposition that comes when you go from battling backups to knocking heads with starting centers. Nowhere is the drop-off from starter to reserve more pronounced than among big men and Casey didn’t want Stewart complicating his transition by also taking on the onus of 3-point shooting. 这都是安排好的。做为一个刚被拉上先发阵容的年轻球员，Stewart被Casey指派为队上 的防守中枢，并且在适应比赛的节奏及各项挑战时，仍不断地与其他球队的先发中锋正 面碰撞对决。持续把Stew摆在先发阵容展现了Casey对Stewart作为阵容中大肉柱的期待 ，Casey也因此不希望让他适应NBA强度与节奏的同时，还透过要他长出三分能力给他过 多的负担。 Not when he was asking more fundamental steps from him. What Casey really wanted to see from Stewart on the offensive end was setting rib-rattling screens and then barreling to the rim – the “roll” part of screen and roll – in what has come to be known as a “highway” screen for the pathway an effective roll man can blaze for the trailing ballhandler. Cade Cunningham and Stewart developed a keen chemistry for the maneuver over the second half of last season, in fact. 并不是说Casey想要更多，Casey真正希望Stewart在进攻端做到的是做好半场肋部的掩护 ，然後快速下沉到篮框附近─挡切战术中切入下沉的部分─而这种被称为Highway Screen的挡拆可以帮助带球的队友挡住禁区的防守球员。事实上CC和Stewart在球季的後 半段逐渐找到发挥这个挡拆战术的舒适节奏。(译按:你确定?) When Stewart’s second season was down to its final few weeks, Casey pulled his big man aside and gave him the OK to start feeling his way as a 3-point shooter. It’s a shot they’ve watched Stewart, as coachable and diligent a young player as an NBA team could hope to land, work on tirelessly and shoot confidently in practices and individual workouts. 当上个球季来到末段几周的时间，Casey把他的禁区大将拉到旁边，并且开了绿灯让他开 始寻找三分球出手的舒适节奏。这是Stewart，一个具有NBA教练团梦寐以求的积极认真 态度的球员，在比赛以外的团队和个人练习中不间断不喊累的投球练习中累积起来的三 分球出手。 Over the last eight games of 2021-22, Stewart took 18 triples and made 11 of them. In the weeks between the April 10 season finale and Summer League in early July, Stewart – who had yet to play in Summer League season, his first wiped out by the COVID-19 pandemic and his second aborted by an ankle injury suffered in workouts with USA Basketball’s Select Team – prepared to play his minutes at power forward. 在21-22赛季的最後8场比赛，Stewart出手了18颗三分球，然後命中了11颗。这些三分球 是在赛季尾声的4月11日直到夏季联赛的七月上旬之间投进的。虽然他因为COVID确诊和 在作为靶子队练习时扭伤脚而几乎没有真正参与到夏季联赛。 When Troy Weaver, who saw a more expansive future offensive arsenal in Stewart than his NBA peers did and acted accordingly to draft him 16th in 2020, somehow maneuvered to pick up a second lottery pick in June and used it to land Memphis big man Jalen Duren, Stewart not only got to play power forward but do so next to a bona fide fellow cornerstone of the Pistons future. 当Troy Weaver在2020年选秀时看出了其他球队没看到的Stewart在进攻火力所具有的潜 力并且在第16顺位把他捡进来後，又不知道施了什麽魔法在今年六月变出第二支乐透区 的签并且选了曼菲斯大学的长人Jalen Duren。Stewart这下不只要承担大前锋的角色， 还要跟活塞队未来的禁区基石组成前场阵容。 In two games, Stewart showed enough to raise optimism that his transition to becoming a legitimate 3-point threat would not only bear fruit but was ahead of schedule. He hit 5 of 9 shots, including clutch triples late to secure Pistons wins. 在少少的两场比赛里，Stewart展现了转型成为够格三分威胁的能力，让人感到乐观的是 他不只长出三分投射能力，看来还有点超前进度。总共投9中5的三分球成绩单，还包括 了在比赛最後帮助球队稳住胜利的关键时刻命中。 “That was super impressive,” Pistons Summer League coach Jordan Brink said after Stewart hit 3 of 4, two in the final three minutes, to beat eventual Summer League champion Portland in the July 7 opener. “He was ready for it. We talked before the game and we were going to try to get him some looks from three. Two of them opened up in the flow of the game at the end and they were huge.” "这简直就是让人印象深刻!"活塞队夏季联盟教练Jordan Brink在Stewart缴出投4中3成 绩单，包括两颗在比赛最後三分钟命中的三分球，并且帮助球队赢下夏季联盟冠军拓荒 者队的比赛後说道，"他完全准备好了!我们赛前有先讨论过，并且决定让他在比赛中尝 试一些三分线外的出手。其中两颗在比赛末段投进，而这两个命中意义重大!!" “I’ve never played the four in my life, so that’s one reason I wanted to play in a Summer League game is to get reps at the four,” Stewart said. “I know we’ve got about two, three bigs and we wanted to play with two bigs. Somebody’s going to have to space the floor, so I wanted to get reps at it and it was definitely different, for sure.” "我的球员生涯中从没打过四号位，所以熟悉这个角色是我希望能够在夏季联盟中出赛的 原因之一，"Stewart说，"我知道我们队上已经有大概2、3个长人，而且我们预计会摆出 双塔阵容，那就表示有人必须去负责拉开场上的空间。所以我真的需要多多练习，更何 况这真的是个很不一样的角色。" The same quandary of how to shoehorn multiple big men into the rotation applies to the Pistons 2022-23 regular season as it did to the Summer League puzzle. Stewart, Kelly Olynyk and Marvin Bagley III all return and are joined by both Duren and trade addition Nerlens Noel. If Stewart can handle playing power forward at both ends of the floor, Casey’s latitude in lineup construction expands greatly. 正如夏季联盟中的重要课题一样，活塞队必须认真思考怎麽把一堆长人摆进季赛的轮替 阵容。Stewart、Olynyk和MB3都满血回归，而且还多了Duren和交易来的Noel(译按:折手 哥先走一步了)，如果Stewart能够在攻守两端都扮演好四号位的角色，也 能够解放Casey运筹帷幄的空间。 A name whispered in Pistons circles when Weaver drafted Stewart two years ago as an aspirational outcome at the offensive end was Al Horford, the 15-year veteran and five-time All-Star. Horford took a total of 65 3-point shots in his first eight NBA seasons; he’s topped 200 a season six times since then. It’s a process. 当Weaver两年前选进了Stewart时，活塞队的制服组对他在进攻端期待的样板是Al Horford，在NBA待了15年的沙场老将，同时有5次入选全明星赛的殊荣。活佛在他的前8 个球季总共在外线出手了65次，但後来有6个球季每季都出手200次以上。这就是一个过 程。 And, to be clear, shooting 3-pointers effectively at any significant volume is only part of the equation of transitioning to more of a hybrid center/power forward role for Stewart. At least as critical a component will be his ability to defend a variety of players who man that position. Stewart established himself last season as a big man who could reliably stay in front of perimeter ballhandlers when he got switched on to them, which bodes well for his chances to hold his own at that end while playing away from the basket against more nimble opponents. Chasing shooters around screens will be another challenge for him. 但真心来说，长出有效率的三分投射能力对Stewart来说只是从正5号位转型成为4/5号位 球员的其中一环。至少还有另一个关键因子是他必须能够防守得住各种不同类型的对位 球员。Stewart在过去一个赛季中让人们看到他即使被换位了，还是能够稳定在禁区外把 持球者挡在身前。表示他在面对那些更敏捷的对手时，仍然具有一定程度的单防能力。 而是否能够在挡拆之中持续跟紧射手们，就是他的另一个课题了。 How aggressively Casey decides to pursue two-big lineups will swing on many factors, but unlocking them at any appreciable level likely starts with how comfortably Stewart adapts to increasingly bigger tests of playing time away from the paint at both ends. It probably won’t take 63 games again to get some answers on that front. Casey会多积极的追求双塔阵容取决於很多不同的因素，但要解锁这个阵型很大部分取决 於Stewart在攻守两端能够多大程度的在禁区外发挥功能，今年应该不需要再等个63场比 赛就有机会知道结果了。 ------ 其实发文顺序应该是总论(上一篇) > CC > Duren > Ivey > Stew > Bey > MB3/Hayes/Knox(三个人居然放一起) >Livers 但我想大家最关心的应该是Stewart和Hayes，所以会先从这两篇翻译起。 虽然文章中和运动视界都有提到教练希望Stew能够做好Highway Screen，但有时候比赛 看起来还是很像Stew在禁区制造了高速公路连环车祸啊...(汗) 从前两季赛季末段大概也可以看出来制服组想把Stew拉到禁区外，毕竟他也算是有那个 活动力的，一步一步来今年大概也要初步验收了。就期待一下他会长成(或是歪成)什麽 样子吧。 另外文章中把禁区球员名单列出来一看，赛季中应该还是会有所调整或是交易变化吧?? 但换个角度说，万一MB3又玻璃，Noel/Knox福袋开失败，Duren长不够快，今年的禁区就 会变得很可怕吧?! --
