#Knicks unsung forward Lance Thomas, off summer program, continues as apple of Fisher's bench http://nyp.st/1OhLgIR 湯瑪士逐漸成為老漁的常規武器 While Knicks coach Derek Fisher is always finagling with his bench rotation, he doesn’t mess with Lance Thomas’ minutes. 即使老漁還在嘗試陣容時，他也不曾弄亂湯瑪士的上場時間。 Thomas has been their most consistent bench piece and on another roll — having scored in double figures in five straight games, and seven of the past eight. He’s not going away. In fact, Thomas, Brooklyn-born and raised in Scotch Plains, N.J., is playing his way into a potentially handsome contract next July. 湯瑪士已經成為尼克板凳中重要的一份子，他在最近的五場比賽中都能得分上雙，事實上 湯瑪士可是在布魯克林當地出生的。 In the offseason, Thomas added range to his jump shot, becoming a legitimate 3-point threat. Training in New Orleans, Thomas said he was lofting 500 to 600 shots a day, sometimes twice that if he did a two-a-day session. 在休賽季，湯瑪士讓射程變得更遠了，他說他每天都練500-600球的三分球，有時候是兩倍 的量。 Thomas gained 15 pounds of muscle in the offseason, with a renewed dedication to weightlifting. Defense, hustle and 3-point shooting have kept him in Fisher ’s penthouse and even have the coaching staff considering starting him over underachieving center Robin Lopez and moving Kristaps Porzingis to center. Thomas is averaging 8.2 points, 2.0 rebounds and shooting 47 percent. His 3-point percentage of 41.5 is second-best on the Knicks. His 52 3-point attempts is more than double the number he took in his first four seasons combined (23). 湯瑪士今年重了15磅，而且防守跟三分能力讓他成為尼克的重要武器，讓尼克可以使用下 LOPEZ，並把KP移到中鋒的小球打法。 湯瑪士現在場均得8.2分2板命中率47%，他的三分則是尼克第二好的41.5%，她今年已經投 了52球的三分也比去年的他多一倍。 “I feel like I’m in the best shape of my career right now,’’ Thomas said, referring to his weight gain. “It’s helping me defensively. My rebounding numbers don’t show it, but I’m holding off guys, allowing guards to come in and get rebounds. I feel a lot stronger on the floor without fatigue, which is something that’s amazing. It’s hard not to play the game tired. I don’t feel tired when I’m out there. I’m giving all on defense but still have something in the tank on offense and taking advantage.’’ 湯瑪士:"我覺得我正處於職業生涯的高峰，我那增加的肌肉讓我更好防守對手，雖然從 籃板的數據上看不出來，但這讓我可以卡住對手，讓後衛們進來搶籃板，我現在在場上也覺 得自己體力變好很多，這真的很棒，我現在在場上都不會覺得累，我同時可以全心投入於 防守，另一方面又努力打好進攻。 “Coaches do appreciate guys who don’t appear to be as talented or have statistics that stand out the most, but do things coaches appreciate,’’ Fisher said. “Those are things important to me. My evaluation of performance, I’m not looking at field-goal percentage and points, but how committed are you to things that don’t stand out on the stat sheet?’’ 老漁說:"教練們很賞識這種看起來天賦還好，或是數據還好，但能做很多令教練滿意的事 的球員，這對我來說很重要，我會評估球員的表現，但我不是那種去看看這球員命中率有 多高或能拿幾分，那麼我們要怎麼去評論那些沒有顯現在數據上的事呢?" --------------- It doesn't sound as if Carmelo & Kristaps Porzingis will be running much pick & roll together. More: http://espn.go.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0470672780942121245-4 … 老漁似乎沒打算多用瓜跟KP的P&R Derek Fisher wants to take advantage of having Carmelo Anthony & Kristaps Porzingis on the floor together, but it doesn't sound as if the two will be running pick &!roll together anytime soon. 老漁打算讓瓜跟KP常同時上場，但暫時還不打算打太多瓜與KP的P&R Anthony said simply that the play isn't a part of the Knicks' triangle offense. The numbers support that. The Knicks have the lowest pick & roll frequency in the NBA, according to NBA.com. Here is what Fisher said when asked about the pick and roll between Anthony and Porzingis last week. 瓜表示:這在我們的三角戰術本上沒這招。 尼克現在是NBA中最少打P&R的球隊。 "At times of course, we'll try to take advantage of those two guys and the problems that they cause for defenses," Fisher said. "But we won't have to force it hopefully. It will come about naturally as we play basketball the right way." 老漁被問到後表示 "在目前，我們想多多利用他們兩個的優勢，並讓他們兩個在對方防守上製造出一些問題。 但我們現在不會想要硬套戰術給他們，我們要先做好對的事，然後讓這自然的發生。" ----------------- -- ─∥ ─── ◣ =◥"◥’． ∵ ◆∥ ψsherry821224 ────────────── ∥ ◤ ◥ ◤ ◥ ∥ ◤ ◢◤\ ◣◥ Teammates don't ∥ ╱ ∥◤￣◣ ﹍◣∥◤￣╲∥ ╱∥◤￣╲ ▼‵､λ﹀▼▼ play with each ∥◆◇ ∥ ∥∥◣∥ ∥╱ ∥◣＿ ─-.╳ ︶- other, they play ∥ ╲ ∥ ∥∥ ∥ ∥ ╲ ◥∥▲ ρ\ `, ▲▲ FOR each other. ─∥ ╲ ∥ ∥∥ ∥◣＿╱∥ ╲╲＿◢∥ ◥ | ◢────────…‥． --
