How much is Ron Adams' loss to blame for the Thunder's defensive problems this season? By Darnell Mayberry, Staff Writer, [email protected] Published: January 16, 2011 The players haven't changed. And neither have the plays. Only one thing is different about the Thunder's defense. Ron Adams. 关於防守这回事，球员没变，战术没变，只有一点与去年不同－今年没有Ron Adams了。 The wily assistant coach who was largely credited for revamping the Thunder's once ragged defense jetted to Chicago last summer. With his departure, Oklahoma City's defense has seen a drastic drop off. 这名足智多谋的助理教练公认是去年雷霆防守突飞猛进的头号功臣，可惜他本季接受了公牛 的工作，回到芝加哥。随着他的离开，雷霆的防守也随之退步。 Entering tonight's game at the Los Angeles Lakers, which marks the midway point of the season, the Thunder has regressed in opponent points, opponent field-goal percentage, opponent 3-point field goal percentage, blocked shots, opponent turnovers and defensive efficiency. 在与今天对决湖人之前检视数据，雷霆的失分、对手命中率、对手三分球命中率、火锅次数 、对手失误次数跟防守效率全面退步。 That's just about every major defensive category, with the lone exclusion being rebounding. 几乎是所有跟防守有关的数据都退步了，除了篮板以外。 Several players admit that Adams' departure has been a significant factor. 一些球员承认Adams的离开对防守有很大的影响。 “Ron Adams was a big part of our defense,” said Thunder center Nenad Krstic. “He was always talking about that. He was always getting on some guys if they don't play good defense. We really miss him.” 一哥表示：「Adams是我们防守能力的一大关键。他总是在强调防守，如果有人防守表现不 佳，他一定会想办法帮他改正。我们真的很想念他。」 Practice sessions are said to be the same this season as last year's. And from a scheme standpoint, the Thunder hasn't changed anything. But having Adams harp on all the finer points made a major difference, players say. 今年练习时，教练团强调的东西跟去年一模一样。从整体规划角度来看，雷霆也没有改变任 何东西，不过球员说没有Adams持续不停的提点那些重要的概念真的差很大。 “The way we drilled it and the way he explained it to some of the younger guys, ” explained guard Thabo Sefolosha. Thabo表示：「我们练习他所说的概念，几个年轻人不懂的时候，他也会解释给他们听。」 Thunder players have been careful to not use Adams' loss as an excuse. And they're not. 雷霆球员们相当谨慎，不把Adams的离开当作藉口。这确实也不能当作藉口。 “It's not like he took what we we're doing when he was here with him,” said Nick Collison. “We're doing the same things. The players just have to do a better job of executing it. The game plan hasn't changed. We just haven't done it well. We just need to do the work.” Nick表示：「我们努力过的，他并没有带走。我们仍然在做一样的事情，球员们只是需要把 这些东西执行的更完善。计画并没有变，只是我们作的不好，我们需要更努力训练。」 Thunder coach Scott Brooks attributed this season's shortcomings to his team still being in the early stages of building good habits. Rather than blame defensive deficiencies on Adams' departure, Brooks chooses to focus on the fundamentals that the Thunder has found difficult to execute consistently. Brooks教练认为本季球队显露出的缺点只是因为球队还在建立观念。与其抱怨Adams的离开 让防守下滑，Brooks选择专注於找出球队为何表现无法持续的原因。 Those areas include stopping the ball, playing better man-to-man defense, playing good help side defense, contesting shots and rebounding well. 这包括了停止球的流动、更好的对位防守、更好的协防、防阻对手投篮与巩固篮板等。 “We have to improve on all those areas,” Brooks said. “We're not horrible on any of those areas. But there is room for improvement in all of those areas.” Brooks教练表示：「这几个点都是我们必须要加强的。我们表现的并不那麽糟糕，但还有很 大进步空间就是了。」 -- 哲学的义务，是去除因误解而生的幻想。 --
