Will Hardy is mixing things up on the defensive end, and it’s helped his team beat the Knicks and Blazers in back-to-back games. 犹他爵士队的防守有些古怪——Will Hardy在防守端把事情揉合了一些方式而且持续发挥 成效。这就是为什麽能帮助他的球队在背靠背的比赛中，击败了尼克队和拓荒者队。 By Andy Larsen | Dec. 15, 2023, 11:20 p.m. One thing I’ve loved in the Utah Jazz’s two wins this week: their defenses. Not singular, plural. 在犹他爵士队本周的两场胜利中，我喜欢的一件事是：他们的防守。 不是单一，是复数的做法。 The Jazz are switching between three defensive schemes right now: their base man defense, their main zone that ends up being sort of a 1-1-2-1 look, and a box-and-one where either Collin Sexton or Kris Dunn is deployed on the opposing team’s best player while the rest of the team guards an area of the court. Watching Jazz games in person this week has been a spectacle, as Jazz coach Will Hardy jumps up and down to signal a new defensive look every time down the floor. 爵士队现在正在三种防守方式之间切换：他们的基础防守布阵，他们的主要防守最终形成 了一种1-1-2-1的阵型，以及由 Collin Sexton 或 Kris Dunn 的box-one防守针对在对方 球队最好的球员身上，而球队的其他球员则负责防守球场的某个区域。本周看爵士队的比 赛真是一场奇观，爵士队教练 Will Hardy 在场边指挥每次新的防守布阵，都跳上跳下搞 到他自己快脑充血。 Holding up a fist? That’s the box-and-one. Holding three fingers up? That’s the zone. 举起拳头？这是box-one防守。 举起三根手指？这是区域防守。 The novel defenses have worked. The Jazz’s non-man defenses allowed 0.825 points against the Knicks and 0.847 points per possession against the Blazers, well below their usual averages. (Their man defenses allowed more than a point per possession in both contests.) A team that was the worst half-court defense in the league suddenly looks respectable. 新奇的防守战术奏效了。爵士队的非对人防守在对阵尼克队时每回合失分 0.825 分，在 对阵拓荒者队时每回合失分 0.847 分，远低於他们平时的平均水平。(他们的对人防守在 两场比赛中，每控球回合都让对手得分超过一分。)这让一支联盟中半场防守最烂的球队 突然看起来开始像样。 While it’s a small sample size, it’s worth looking at what the Jazz are doing to try to understand it. 虽然样本数很少，但值得尝试理解看爵士队正在做什麽。 The box and one This is where the Jazz can unleash Sexton and Dunn — two ultra-competitive guards who aren’t super impactful in team-oriented defensive schemes due to lack of size. box-one防守 这是爵士队可以发挥 Sexton 和 Dunn 能力的方式——这两名极具好胜心跟斗性的後卫， 由於身材矮小，在以团队为导向的防守方式中他们没办法带来超强的影响力。 “I think Collin and Kris, those guys are very good when they’re on assignment — like this is my responsibility and everybody else sort of helps behind them,” Hardy said. Will Hardy说:「我认为 Collin 和 Kris，这些人在执行场上任务时非常出色 - 像这就 是我在场边指挥的责任，其他人都在他们身後提供帮助，」 I’ll go further: What both players can absolutely do is shadow one guy until they’re pulled off the court in a fit of dehydration. This is how wild it is: Against the Knicks, Sexton shadowed Jalen Brunson to such a ridiculous extent that Brunson walked off the court during play into the Jazz’s tunnel in order to shake him. Sexton still followed him. 进一步说明：两名球员可以执行彻底的就是跟防一个人，直到他们因累到脱水而被换下场 。 事情就是这样疯狂：对阵尼克队的比赛中，塞克斯顿对 Jalen Brunson 的跟防达到了 荒谬的程度，以至於 Brunson 在比赛中心神不宁的下球场走入爵士场边球员通道， Sexton 还继续跟着他。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWhAPp6h_0I “Collin took his job very literally. That was Collin going above and beyond his work responsibilities,” Hardy laughed. “I guess it’s one way to deny the guy the ball — let’s take him back in the back.” Collin 非常认真地执行场上工作。 那是 Collin 甚至超越了他的工作范围。」 Hardy 笑着说。“我想这是阻止对方拿球的一种方法——让我们把他带回後场。” That’s an extreme example, but it has been effective. With Brunson out of the picture, the Jazz could play 4-on-4 elsewhere on the court, and they felt fine with forcing the likes of R.J. Barrett (who shot 3-16) to make plays. 这是一个极端的例子，但它确实有效。当 Brunson 在场上消失的状况，爵士队可以在球 场上的其他位置做4对4的防守并发挥出色，比方迫使 R.J. Barrett 在这场比赛中投16中 3。 Sexton did the same thing in the Portland game, this time bodying up Anfernee Simons. Behind them, the other four Jazz players were in a zone, with Simone Fontecchio picking up ball handler Shaedon Sharpe at the top of the diamond. When Sharpe drives, everyone collapses onto the ball, forcing the miss. Sexton 在对阵波特兰的比赛中也做了同样的事情，这次是对 Anfernee Simons 的防守。 在他们身後，其他四名爵士队球员都在 box-one 防守区域内， Simone Fontecchio 在防 守阵型的菱形顶部，应对控球的 Shaedon Sharpe 。当 Sharpe 突破时，每个人都会内 缩对球防守，迫使他出手失败。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIsL9kkCZbs Back in the Knicks game, Brunson got tired of not having the ball after being ball-denied for so long. So when he did get it, he tried to score at all costs ... including taking a step back 22-footer with 14 seconds on the shot clock late in the third. Again, the Jazz are thrilled about this. 回到尼克队的比赛中， Brunson 对长时间拿不到球感到烦躁。因此当他拿到球後，他不 惜一切代价尝试得分……包括在第三节比赛还剩 14 秒时做了一个仓促的 22尺垫步跳投 ，爵士队很高兴他这麽做。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZCW9aG0j2Q To be sure, playing this scheme requires that the other team have players you ’re comfortable with attacking you in the extra space that a 4-on-4 provides. In the regular season, there definitely are those guys. In the Knicks game, it was Barrett, Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, and Quentin Grimes. In the Blazers game, the Jazz were fine with forcing Sharpe, Matisse Thybulle, Toumani Camara, Jabari Walker, and Duop Reath to try to make something happen. 为了确定能执行这个对策，需要场上的球员在 4 对 4 布阵下，队伍能舒适应对对手额外 的进攻空间。例行赛中肯定有相应对的球员。在与尼克队的比赛中，是 Barrett 、 Josh Hart 、 Donte DiVincenzo 和 Quentin Grimes 。在与拓荒者队的比赛中，爵士队很好 地迫使 Sharpe 、 Matisse Thybulle 、 Toumani Camara 、 Jabari Walker 、 Duop Reath 去尝试执行。 The wacky zone 奇怪的区域防守 This isn’t your grandfather’s 2-3 zone. The Jazz’s zone is kind of a modified 2-3 in which one player guards up top, one helps on drives near the free throw line, two players guard the entire wings of the court, and Walker Kessler is in the center. So like this: 这不是你祖父辈老派的 2-3 区域。 爵士队的区域是一种改良版的2-3阵型，其中一名球员负责防守顶部，一名球员在罚球圈 附近协助防守，两名球员负责防守整个侧翼，而 Walker Kessler 则位於中间。像这样： https://i.imgur.com/ycHLuqu.jpeg The Jazz's base formation in a zone defense. 爵士队的基础防守阵型是联防。 Hardy has two goals in this zone: don’t allow dribble penetration, and don’ t allow corner threes. Everything else is what the Jazz want their opponents to take. Hardy 在这个区域有两个目标：不被运球突破，不被找到底角三分投篮机会。其他一切方 式都是爵士希望对手执行的。 So as this clip begins, Talen Horton-Tucker is defending the ballhandler from behind, while Sexton’s there to help on the drive in the front. Kessler is lurking behind. This is really rough driving territory, so the ball is kicked to the wing. 因此，当这段影片开始时， Talen Horton-Tucker 从後面防守持球者，而 Sexton 则在 前面阻止突破。 Kessler 潜伏在後面。 这确实是一个很难找进攻点的区域，所以球被逼 到侧边。 When it is, Simone Fontecchio’s number one goal is to prevent the pass to the corner — even before preventing the shot from the wing. You can see how much he’s shading towards that sideline to prevent that pass. Eventually, the ball is passed again, and the Blazers find DeAndre Ayton down low for a 14-foot push shot... another shot the Jazz love to see. 当这种情况发生时， Simone Fontecchio 的首要目标就是阻止传球到角落——甚至在阻 止在外侧两翼到底角找机会出手。 你可以看到他向边线移动了多少以阻止传球。拓荒者 球只好再传出，最後让 DeAndre Ayton 在罚球圈附近面对Kessler 进行14尺的跳投…… 这又是爵士队喜欢看到的投篮。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fxr4NaVl_8k The old adage when playing zone offense is to get the ball to the center. But you can see how the Jazz would be completely cool with that in most cases: Kessler stepping up to Ayton at the free-throw line with everyone else covered is a good situation for the Jazz, not a bad one. 区域进攻时的传统起手式是将球传给中锋。但你可以看到在大多数情况下，爵士队很冷静 的面对布阵： Kessler 在罚球线上与 Ayton 站在一起，其他人都互相掩护，这对爵士队 来说是一个好局面，而不是一个坏局面。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh_tupDDwJc “We don’t want guys at the top of the key but like, we’re OK with it,” Kessler said. “They’re just guarded by the five, and it’s fine.” Even when the zone offense is very good, like here when the Knicks drive and move the defense multiple times, the grand benefit of the zone defense is that Kessler is near the rim, and his tremendous NBA skill is that he can block shots that he might even be out of position for. 「我们不希望对手在弧顶发起进攻，但基本上这个状况还行」 Kessler 说。“他们只有 五个人要防守，没什麽问题。” 即使联防非常好，就像尼克队多次突破和牵动防守一样，联防的最大好处是 Kessler 在 篮框附近，而他出色的 NBA 技巧是他可以煽火锅。甚至可能造成对手失位。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUFJrTWpmrU Understandably, Kessler said the zone was “fun” for him to play. I get why: it’s cool stuff, built around his unique skills! 可以理解的是， Kessler 说这个区域对他来说执行起来「很有趣」。 我明白为什麽：这 是很酷的东西，是围绕着他独特球技构建的！ Yes, better shooting and smarter offensive teams are going to be able to diagnose the defense and play special offensive schemes against it that are going to probably work better than what the Knicks and Blazers brought. But even making opposition offenses think is to the Jazz’s advantage. 是的，更好的投篮和更聪明的进攻球队，将能够判断防守并针对防守采取特殊的进攻决策 ，这可能会比尼克和拓荒者带来的效果更好。但即使让对手思考进攻，这对爵士队来说也 是有利的。 “Outside of verticality, the only thing in the NBA that benefits the defense is the shot clock,” Hardy said. “So we need to try to maximize that part of the game. And by being a little bit disruptive mentally, we can eat up a couple of seconds of each possession by trying to make them run something different.” 「除了场上高度之外，NBA中唯一对防守有利的就是进攻时间，」Hardy 说。「所以我们 需要尽力最大化比赛的这一部分。 通过在精神上进行一点破坏，我们可以通过尝试让他 们跑出不同的战术来消耗每次控球的秒数。” The most important thing, Hardy says, is not getting too predictable on the defensive end, and the Jazz have been able to do that by throwing some unpredictable schemes at their opponents. That’s an important skill that Hardy thinks will benefit his players down the road, when some of them are on the next Jazz playoff team. Hardy 说，最重要的事情是在防守端不要变得太可预测，而爵士队已经能够透过向对手抛 出一些不可预测的战术来做到这一点。 哈迪认为这是一项重要技能，这将使他的球员受 益，因为他们中的一些人将进入下一支爵士季後赛球队。 -- 下一支爵士季後赛球队?? --
