原文网址： http://punchdrunkwolves.com/2012/01/31/the-big-3-wolves-120-rockets-108/ 这是一篇关於昨天对火箭的赛後评论 (基本上这个作者每场比赛都会写一大篇心得)， 绝大多数我都非常认同，所以贴出来讨论讨论 顺便简单提几个我自己的观点：(後来发现打太多，其他点以後有时间再提XD) 1. 我从不掩饰对B-Easy的喜爱，从进NBA以来一直强调他是真货也是让我被打脸打最惨的 一个.. 这一场比赛，绝对是他到灰狼以来打得最棒一场(去年跟连结大概看一半，今年买NBA.TV 至今每场都看完整场)，重点不是他得几分、命中率多高(能这麽高也是够吓人了)，而是 绝大多数得分都是"融入"的transition中的结果，绝少看到勉强的出手，也可能是今天 防守他的对手能力不足 今天的切入或跳投时在几乎没有碰到阻碍，都做得很轻松。一上就吃布丁狗吃够够，接 下来派Parsons还是Lee都已经没法度了。如果"光看"这场比赛还说B-Easy在败球或 ball movement stopper实在有失公道 脚伤回来以後B-Easy这两场在场上融入程度进步很多，这样的命中率不会是常态，只能 希望如此顺畅的进攻节奏不会是昙花一现，套一句在网站上看到的话：如果在Rubio+Love 为主体绝佳的团队合作之外，再多一个可以一刀毙命的攻击武器B-easy，灰狼会更加难 以阻挡 我非常向往像老国王or太阳那种流畅的团队进攻，不过在我的认知中，有了Rubio当指 挥，就算全队都会传球，还是需要一个能独立进攻的Finisher，国王有Webber(好啦， 这也很会传)、太阳有阿嬷，我不会把B-Easy直接对比这麽高等级，或是灰狼未来的 the one，但他就是"现在"球员名单上的的那个人 防守方面，这季B-Easy已经进步很多(不代表已经及格)，第一场对雷霆守Durant最让我 满意，接下来有时恍神的情况还是不时发生，总之就看矮豆人怎麽调教吧～我是倾向给 他这季证明自己，是龙是蛇就看他怎麽吸收老教头的教化了 我一直对版友对B-Easy的耐心感到有点不解，他比Wes还年轻16个月！怎麽得到的容忍程 度会差这麽多 2. Web回来以後除了进攻，更让人惊喜的是防守上带来的帮助，他在SG跟Wes一样有length、 有运动力。 跟原本的矮小後场组合Luke Ridnour(对湖人竟然守到慈世界…@_@)+Wayne Ellington， 是很大的升级，这里我也同意作者的观点，如果Web的背争气一点，先发位置迟早会是他 的，除非矮豆人要继续用先发来养Wes 又来个年龄比较：Web其实只比Wes大6个月….. 3. Wes的状况，之前有一堆讨论就不多说了，从入选以来我对他的要求就不算高，做好防守 跟把握外线空档，但……请继续加油 防守方面，我看到有个数据提到，本季当Wes不在场上时，灰狼团队每100 min的失分下 降多达18.2分，也是全队最差最多的一个 (别问我为什麽，当我看到这个数据也感到很 意外)，总之，或许灰狼的新秀第二年如果不受伤就是得上场上接受砥砺与折磨，Rubio 你明年一定要撑住阿～～ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The early season narrative for the TWolves has been that Ricky Rubio and Kevin Love are amazing players who need some help. Other starting players, most notably Wesley Johnson and Darko Milicic, have failed to provide meaningful production or consistent play that breeds any confidence in the two stars’supporting cast. Michael Beasley led last year’s team in scoring per minute (21.4 per 36; 19.2 per game) but didn’t make himself many fans after ankle sprains on each leg derailed what looked like a promising season. In 73 games, he surpassed 30 points 8 times, and 40 points once. But the way he scored those points, often isolation sets with some ball-stoppage, isn’t popular or always fun to watch. Also, and much more significantly if we’re being fair, his defense was often times lazy and always incoherent. A plausible retort to this would be that he was simply “joining the club” of Rambis-coached wings who had no idea how to rotate defensively. Beasley had serious flaws to be addressed if he were going to be an impact player on an up-and-coming team led by Rubio and Love. This season, some fans and analysts expected a breakout year from Supercool Mike, both because of Rubio’s playmaking but more so because Rick Adelman would devise schemes to get him the ball closer to the hoop. A problem with the Rambis triangle was that it often resorted to clearing out for Mike 24 feet from the basket for everyone else to stand and watch. This wasn’t good for Mike’s efficiency or the Timberwolves win/loss record. In the early going this year, he showed flashes of improved play. His defense was been better. Night and day. He’s played respectable defense on LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and even Kobe Bryant. If you watched Wellington try to guard Kevin Martin (or if you remember the days of Shaddy McCants trying to defend Baron Davis or LBJ) you’ve seen an outmatched defender in a Wolves uniform. This is not Michael Beasley. If he’s focused and coached, he’s an adequate-or-better defensive wing. His shot was colder than we’ve ever seen it in the early going. He put together stinkers of 11-27, 2-6, 5-16, and 4-12 before spraining his foot and missing the next 11 games. It should be noted that the Wolves were probably playing their best basketball in that early going against a brutal schedule. They trounced the Spurs and Mavs (with Dirk, unlike the second time they beat them without Mike) and held late-game leads on title-favorites OKC and Miami. But Mike needed his shot to fall like it used to before things could really take off for he and the team. Of course, the schedule weakened right around the time of the injury and the team ripped off an 11-game stretch of over-.500 basketball, going 6-5. THEY'RE BETTER WITHOUT BEASLEY! LOOK AT THE BALL MOVEMENT! Only, if you watched the Toronto or Atlanta games, you saw what happened against a respectable foe when the game slowed down and shot creating became a necessity. The Wolves have exactly one shot creator on the team, and he was sidelined for those games. You might also look at those 6 wins and notice that they came against either garbage competition (Wizards, Hornets, Kings, Pistons) or good teams that were without future Hall of Famers (Clippers without Chris Paul, Mavericks without Dirk Nowitzki). The record was inflated by an easy schedule. Despite what some desperately wanted to believe, the team was NOT better without its best scorer. Fast forward to tonight’s game at Houston. The Rockets (who recently spanked the Mike-less Wolves at Target Center) held a mighty 9-2 home record heading into this game. Minnesota had no rest, traveling overnight into Houston after a hard-fought loss against LA. Houston rested last night in their beds at home. This was not a game the Wolves should have won. Oh, but they did win, and they pummeled the Rockets behind Mike Beasley’s 34 points on 14 shots. Mike had his jumper going, his dribble penetration game going, and he was getting to the line where he hit all 12 attempts. His monster scoring performance led the way in this one, increasing the lead throughout the second half. The Ricky & Love show became a Minnesota Big 3, as Rubio damn-near f'd around and got a triple double (18 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds) and Love added 29 & 7 of his own. Is Mike going to score like this every night? Of course not. But he will some nights, and on those nights Minnesota will be almost unbeatable. When he’s clanking shot after shot? Sit him down, or watch Kevin Love collect rebounds. Beasley draws extra defenders, a skill that doesn’t show up in a box score but is essential to consistently-successful offense in the NBA. He also complements the team’s best players by adding a skill that neither possesses: a dominant one-on-one game that will foul out opponents, allow teammates to get some rest on offense, and challenge opposing coaches into lineup decisions they might not prefer. I hope this isn’t a one-game fluke, and an amazing coach like Adelman can draw as much of Beasley’s natural talent as is possible. He’s a restricted free agent this off-season and the forward duo lauded by John Hollinger last year could be really something, especially with the Spanish floor general leading the way. Some additional thoughts: * Martell Webster’s feisty defense in the second quarter turned the game. He plays D on a slightly-different level than his teammates. Watch a Memphis Grizzlies game for comparable effort and approach. This is an asset, for sure, especially from a guy that the team can afford to get in foul trouble (because he will, if he plays this way). Webster should be the starting shooting guard very soon. Let’s all hope his back stays healthy. No more of these. * Derrick Williams is frozen out of the rotation. TRADE DERRICK WILLIAMS will become a common meme. That could be wise, depending on the deal, but let’s not lose sight of the talent here, and how similarly-awesome college players with talent took their licks en route to NBA improvement. James Harden and Evan Turner took time to adjust, as Williams will. Biggest reasons for NOT trading him: (1) He’s on the rookie scale; and (2) He’s insurance against Love getting injured or Love bolting after 3 years. If he continues to improve as a power forward, and he will, those are not insignificant factors. A shooting guard can be signed in free agency this off-season, if need be. * Kyle Lowry versus Ricky Rubio could be an All-Star debate in the next few years. Lowry bested him at Target Center, and Ricky took this match. Very different players. Very good players. Season Record: 10-11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --
