1/9的文章，之前都挪不出时间翻 Watch: Thunder and the corner 3-point shot: what keeps going wrong? http://0rz.tw/6TXMq The corner 3-pointer is rapidly being established as one of the best shots in the game and more and more teams, like the Nets and Wizards, are using it against OKC. 底线三分球是球场上相当棒的出手点，而同时也有越来越多球队─如巫师和篮网，使用 这招来电雷霆。 The Thunder have started out 2013 by going 2-2. Those two losses have come in the most stomach-churning of ways. The first was a dispiriting home blowout loss to the Brooklyn Nets, and the second was on Monday night to the Wizards, which I trust needs no further qualification. 雷霆在今年的前四场比赛两胜两败，这两败都是让人胃部翻腾的败仗。第一场是在主场被 篮网电，第二场则是巫师队。 One of the key elements in the Nets loss that I noticed was the performance of Joe Johnson. Johnson finished with a game high 33 points, but more importantly, finished 5-10 from 3-point range and a number of those shots came from one particular area on the court. Which area? It is the area that is unarguably one of the most efficient places to shoot. 帮助篮网赢球的最大功臣是Joe Johnson。Joe Johnson打出全场最高的33分，但更重要的 是：三分球5-10，而且有不少是在同一点出手的。在哪里呢？那一点可以说是得分最有效 率的地方之一。 The corner 3-point shot. 底线三分。 Layups are great and free throws are sublime, but no shot has taken on more meaning in the past few years as the corner-3. Why? It is a shorter 3-point shot (22 feet), it stretches and spaces the floor like no other, and it is producing a specialized kind of shooter in the league, which makes the point production even more pronounced. How pronounced? According to the data from late last season, the corner-3 has become the greatest point producing shot in the game. 上篮很棒，罚球很壮观，但是近年来意义都不及底线三分。为什麽？底线三分是距离最 短的三分球(22尺)。这个位置在外面，跟其他地方也完全不一样─它创造出特殊的射手 ，可以让得分更为显着。怎麽个显着法？根据去年的数据，底线三分是最佳的得分地点。 Naturally, the best offensive teams and the best defensive teams in the league are going to be the ones who create and defend this shot the best. The teams and the coaches who put the most emphasis on taking and defending this shot are yielding dividends, and the teams who are not doing as well are being exploited. 自然而然的，最佳攻击球队与最佳防守球队的重点都放在这里(专投底线三分/专防底线三 分)。任何注重这一块的球队或教练都会获得好处，反之则会被击垮。 Consider what NBA writer Zach Lowe reported a year ago: NBA作家Zach Lowe这麽写： Limiting attempts seems to matter more than the percentage of corner threes opponents make. That’s not surprising. Lots of studies have found that limiting raw three-point attempts matters more than opponent three-point percentage. The raw number of corner-three attempts allowed last season correlated more strongly with both winning percentage and overall defensive rating than shooting percentage on corner threes, according to work by Maroun and McGuire. It also correlated more strongly with winning percentage than a team’s defensive rebounding rate and the rate at which a team forced turnovers. (In general, the correlation between defensive rebounding and winning percentage is typically stronger than it was last season, according to historical data.) 限制对手底线三分的「总出手数」比「命中率」更为重要。这个结果并不令人惊讶，很多 研究指出对手「三分球」的总出手数比命中率更重要。在上一季之中，对手三分球出手数 和球队战绩、defensive rating(每一百波球权中的掉分)的正向关系比命中率更强烈。同 时，和防守篮板的比率与制造对手失误的能力比起来，角落三分的出手数跟战绩的关联度 也比较高。(不过去年球季中，防守篮板与战绩关联度较以往高。) In general, the amount of corner threes a team allowed last season correlated strongly with winning percentage as a few other key factors have done so in prior years, including how often a team allows and earns free throws. 一般来说除了对手三分出手数之外还有一些细项和战绩也有强烈关系：罚球与对手罚球 的数量。 Which brings us back to OKC. If you want a good measuring stick as to how well the Thunder defense is doing on any given night, pay close attention to how many open corner-3's they are giving up. Lowe had noted in the past that the Thunder were a poor corner-3 defending team, which is why they struggled so much early on trying to defend the Spurs in the regular season or the Heat in the Finals. OKC's defense fell apart once again in these two recent losses, so for the sake of some analysis, I took a look at the shots themselves and tried to break down both what the other team was trying to do as well as what the Thunder were doing wrong. 那就来谈谈雷霆吧，如果你想要知道雷霆任何一场的防守能力，仔细看看他们放掉多少 底线三分。Lowe表示雷霆是一支很不会防守底线三分的球队─这就是为什麽季後赛打马刺 打的这麽辛苦、打不赢热火的一大原因。雷霆的防守在之前的两场比赛败仗中再度瓦解。 为了加以分析，我试着分析对手要做的事情以及雷霆哪里做错了。 THUNDER VS NETS http://youtu.be/4uzPMzMG8W0 Play 1: Nets set up a double-baseline screen in order to free up Joe Johnson in the left corner. The Nets set a good screen, effectively sealing out 3 Thunder players with their 2 screeners. Thabo Sefolosha gamely tries to get through it but Johnson hits the open look. The Nets were setting the table for things to come. Play 1：篮网使用双重掩护让Joe Johnson成功溜到左边底角。篮网的掩护做的很棒，用 两个掩护者挡住三个雷霆球员。Sefolosha勇敢的想闯出去，但是Johnson已经先一步到达 ，砍进空档三分了。篮网布局成功。 Play 2: I really like this play, not only because of the shot it produced, but because of how it gave Deron Williams so many options that the Thunder were forced to give up the long shot. Williams ran Reggie Jackson off a staggered set of baseline screens. While Jackson does his best to stay with Williams, once he is on Willams' hip the show is almost over. Williams actually passes up an easy drop-down pass to Kris Humphries, which likely would have produced a layup. Center Andray Blatche does a subtle but effective move by setting a back pick on Kevin Martin, changing Martin's momentum so that he cannot chase his man Keith Bogans as easily. Bogans smartly slides behind the back pick and gets a wide-open look. Play 2：我真的很喜欢这个play，不只是因为进球了─而是因为这次给Deron Williams 相当多的选择，不得不让雷霆放弃这颗三分。Williams在交错的掩护之下甩开Reggie Jackson，虽然Reggie Jackson试着赶上Williams，但基本上当Williams屁股对着你的时 候就完蛋了。Williams其实也可以选择塞给Kris Humphries让他上篮。不过这时候Andray Blatche做了不起眼但是产生效力的一步，他稍微挡了Kevin Martin的背一下，让Martin 无法及时追上他要守的Keith Bogans。Bogans很聪明的从背面绕过去，得到了一个大空 档。 Play 3: The Nets are preying on Russell Westbrook's over-aggressiveness here in the way Westbrook likes to go over the top of baseline screens. Williams fakes as if he's going to cut to the baseline just as in Play 2, but instead makes a sharp V-cut and slides behind Blatche for the corner-3. Play 3：篮网抓住Russ过度积极这一点，让他从底线掩护的後面绕过去。Williams假装 他要像Play 2那样切到底线，但是他随即做了V-cut，在Blatche的背後投了底线三分。 Play 4: The first 3 plays are well executed offensive sets, but this last one is more about the Thunder's poor transition defense and Westbrook's failure to recover to find his man. Westbrook is one of the fastest and most explosive guys on the court, yet it takes him a good 5 seconds to read the Nets' offensive set, find the open man in the corner (Johnson, the hottest shooter on the floor), and then jog over to him and casually contest the corner-3. 前三球都是篮网执行的很漂亮的战术，不过Play 4是雷霆糟糕的快攻防守和Russ无法及时 恢复状况防守他自己的人所造成的结果。Russ是联盟中最快、体能最劲暴的球员之一，但 是他得花五秒才能看懂篮网的攻击战术之後才去找在底线有大空档、当时最火热的射手 Johnson─而且是很随性的跑到底角随便守一下。 On the other side of the coin, the Thunder have greatly improved as an offensive rebounding team this season, but as you can see in this case, it comes at the expense of having their guards, Westbrook and Martin, rotating to balance out the court in the event of a fast break the other way. After the shot goes up, Sefolosha is the only Thunder player above the free throw line, which makes for a fast break opportunity and allows Johnson to essentially sit in the corner of the court and wait for the pass to come. 在另一方面，雷霆这一季证明他们在进攻篮板方面有所进步，但是在这个例子中可以看出 这让他们的双後卫(Russ和Martin)没有办法适时的轮转，平衡场上的防守阵容来守住快攻 。在那颗三分球出手之际，雷霆仅有Sefolosha站在罚球线之前─这让篮网有个绝佳的快 攻机会，同时让Johnson能在底角轻松的等球。 Play 5: This is another well designed play, but the Thunder hurt themselves by making two fundamental errors. The first is when Deron Williams sets a screen for Gerald Wallace on the baseline, which allows Wallace to run straight to the rim. Westbrook, who is guarding Williams, does not switch with Martin, who is guarding Wallace. By not switching, Wallace catches the ball clean under the rim and both Martin and Westbrook are out of position. Wallace was a bit too far under the rim, but probably could have landed and finished had he wanted to. However, once again the Nets target the corner-3 and Wallace throws a great touch-pass to Johnson. Play 5：这是另一个设计的很好的play，但是雷霆自己也犯下了两个既基本又致命的错误 。其一，当Williams在底线掩护Gerald Wallace、让Wallace能直接跑到篮下时，负责守 Williams的Russ没有和守Wallace的Martin交换防守。因此，Wallace轻松的在篮底接到， 而Russ和Martin的位置则是都跑掉了。Wallace离篮框有点远，不过他要直接进去得分也 是没问题的。而篮网再次选择底线三分，Wallace快传给Johnson。 The second fundamental error made is when Sefolosha leaves his man Johnson to help out with Wallace. The standby rule in help defense is, never leave your man to help out on defense if your man is one pass away from the ball. Here, Sefolosha does just that and leaves the game's high scorer to hit another corner-3. 第二个错误，则是Sefolosha放掉Johnson跑去协防Wallace。协防的基本要件是：如果 对方能直接传球到你守的人手上，千万不要跑去协防。这一次，Sefolosha让全场得分最 高的Johnson丢进三分球。 + To be fair to the Thunder, a number of these plays were really well executed and produced some great looks.However, there is a bigger issue at play. The bigger issue is the fact that the Nets CLEARLY game-planned to make not just the 3-point shot, but specifically the left side corner-3, an essential part of their offense in order to beat the Thunder. They knew OKC struggles in guarding that spot and so Brooklyn exploited it again and again. Smart teams like the Spurs, Heat, and Clippers are going to make the Thunder pay unless they figure out a better way to shore up this defensive weakness, which as was established above, is the best point-producing shot in the game. 说句公道话，这些都是篮网执行的非常漂亮的play，在空档之下也成功砍进分数。不过这 代表着更大的危机─篮网确确实实的藉着「计画」取得投三分的机会，尤其左边底角的三 分球更是进攻的主轴。篮网知道雷霆在这个部分表现不佳，所以他们一次又一次的在左边 底角轰炸雷霆。聪明的球队，诸如热火、马刺、快艇等队在雷霆想出方法之前都会让雷霆 付出代价。这个防守弱点可是最容易飙分的地方。 THUNDER VS WIZARDS http://youtu.be/-2L2abjVQbM If the Nets loss was a lesson on how a good offense knows how to exploit a fallible defense, the loss to the Wizards was a lesson on what happens when defensive malaise allows the 2nd worst 3-point shooting team in the league to make 10-18 from long range. 如果说输给的篮网这场比赛代表着进攻强队痛宰有问题的防守，那麽，输给巫师的这场败 仗告诉我们，就算是三分球第二差的巫师，也能在外线10-18。 Play 1: The Wizards run a basic high pick and roll. Westbrook and Serge Ibaka actually do a very good job of trapping it, turning A.J. Price away from the rim, too far too shoot, and with only one easy passing lane back up to the top of the key. However, Ibaka, the big man who came off the screen to cut off Price's drive, suddenly runs away from his strong defensive position, allowing Price to penetrate and then kick out to Martell Webster for the corner-3. Ordinarily, the big man who 'shows' on the PnR is supposed to rotate back to his own man after the drive is cut off, but the problem here is that Westbrook was already trailing the play and had no defensive position on Price. When Ibaka left his position, Price was effectively guarded by nobody and he penetrated until the corner pass opened up. On this play, Ibaka needed to stay where he was and he and Westbrook could have either held the trap or they could have switched the screen completely. Play 1：巫师要执行高位的pick and roll，这时Russ和Ibaka的包夹非常的漂亮，让A.J. Price无法攻击篮框、无法直接投球(太远)，只能把球传回弧顶。不过突破掩护的Ibaka为 了截掉Price的切入，竟然离开了很好的防守位置，让Price成功切进去并把球丢给人在底 角的Martell Webster。照理说防守pick and roll的大个子在切入被挡下来之後应该去守 自己的人─但是这一次的问题是Russ并没有赶上这个play，没有办法挡住Price。当Ibaka 一离开，Price等於是没人防守了─这时只需要切进去，等待传到底角的时机出现即可。 在这个play之中，Ibaka应该留在他原本的位置，而他和Russ要嘛就是维持包夹，要嘛就 是交换掩护的位置。 Play 2: Gambling in the back-court. Without a concerted and organized effort to press, this is almost always a guaranteed bad idea in the NBA. Even the most basic of ball fakes creates a 5 on 4 opportunity going the other way. Play 2：後场的赌博式防守。在缺乏专注力与组织性的压迫之下，这可以说是最糟糕的作 法。就算是最基本的假动作也能创造出5打4的机会。 Play 3: We've seen this one plenty of times this season. I would surmise that Westbrook is giving up several of these kinds of shots every game because his opponents now know that if they run hard after Westbrook misses a shot, they are going to get a wide open look. Even worse is that they're running straight to the spot that now everyone seems to know the Thunder struggle to defend. Even the Wizards. Play 3：这一季蛮常看到的，我猜Russ每场比赛都会放掉(这类型的)好几球，因为对手知 道只要Russ没进，赶快跑就对了─只要跑出去就能获得空档。最糟的是他们会直接跑到那 个神秘的地方─那个雷霆守不住的神秘地点。 Even the Wizards. *** The issues highlighted above are a blend of good scheming by the opposition, a lack of an aggressive posture defensively, and unfortunately, a little bit of laziness. Each issue will need to be addressed however because the Thunder are going to face plenty of opportunities in the remainder of this season to learn to deal with this shot. I don't think OKC or any team in the league can simply decide to play the corner-3 straight up anymore; teams have to start taking the posture that they have to take it away completely if they want to have a sound defensive game plan. 这个问题显示出对手的高超计策、雷霆缺乏积极性的防守以及懒惰。这些问题都得被解决 ，不过雷霆在接下来的球赛中会试着解决这个位置。我不认为雷霆或任何球队能直接下决 定直线增加投底线三分的次数。如果他们想要有个很棒的防守计画，他们必须扼杀这个位 置的攻击机会。 An oft-repeated basketball defensive slogan is, "Protect the rim." It is time the Thunder add to that the phrase, "And take away the corner-3." 我们常常听到这个口号："Protect the rim."，不过雷霆应该加上这一句： "And take away the corner-3." -- "HARD WORK BEATS TALENT WHEN TALENT FAILS TO WORK HARD." --
