原作：By Roland Lazenby 來源：http://0rz.tw/1e3Dw Tex Winter has had high praise for Jordan Farmar this season, although the Lakers consultant like many other observers had noted Farmar’s performances had lost their sheen in January. 雖然湖人方面也如其他觀察家一樣點出Farmar在一月份有點低潮的演出，但Tex Winter仍 對Farmar本季的演出有著很高的評價。 Then came the infamous nine-game, 15-day Lakers road trip, and Farmar started hitting big shots again and playing the role of a push guard off the bench. 一月份後接踵而來的是艱困的歷時9場共15天的客場之旅，而Farmar此時又開始跳出來投 出一些關鍵進球，並且大大的在板凳上扮演推進的角色。 “He had dropped off there for a while,” Winter said. “He’s getting better, finding his way.” Winrer說，"他低潮一陣子了，不過他已經慢慢回來了，他找到了自己的方式。" It’s not easy, Farmar admitted in a recent conversation. Farmar也在最近的談話中承認，這並不容易。 Adjusting to the triangle offense remains a challenge, especially for a young point guard. In other offenses, the point is charged with doing lots of things, most of them involving being aggressive. 要調整融入三角戰入仍然是挑戰，特別是對一個年輕後衛來說。在其他種進攻體系中，控 衛常需要做很多事情，而大部分在於要更有侵略性。 In the triangle, less becomes more, although it’s hard for a young guard to see it that way. 而在三角戰術中，有時候作得少反而是多，而這對很多年輕控衛要看透這點並不容易。 “Yeah, that’s the toughest thing for me,” Farmar replied when asked about having to do less as a point guard in the triangle. “I’m still struggling with it every day.” Farmar回應有關於在三角戰術中，控衛要做的其實不要多的論點時說到，"是啊，這真的對 我來講是最艱難的事。我仍然每天都還在跟他奮鬥中。" So much of the transition to playing point in the triangle is attitude, and despite any struggles adjusting, it’s clear Farmar has a 24-carat attitude. 而在三角戰術中要執行好控衛的角色最重要的東西還是在"態度"，儘管仍然在跟嘗試調整 進入這套進攻體系中掙扎，但對Farmar來講，他的"態度"可是24K純金的。 Phil Jackson has “won nine championships with this,” Farmar points out. “ And we have a chance to be really good. And I want to be here, at home in this system, and playing for this organization. So you have to continue to grow from day to day and just, just wait it out.” Farmar指出，"Phil Jackson已經贏得了九枚冠軍戒指。而我們確實有機會變得很棒，我想 待在這，在這打這套系統，並且為組織工作。所以你必須要持續的在每天中進步，並且就 是一定要保持耐心。" Waiting it out is no short task. He’s well into his second season and he’s still not ready to pin his progress on a better understanding of the offense. 而保持耐心並不是短暫的任務而已。他已經在他的生涯第二季表現得很好了，但他仍然沒 有好到可以將這套進攻體系了然於胸。 “It’s just comfort level in general,” he said of the improvements that have observers around the league talking about his potential. “We’ve changed a lot of things with the triangle. This year we’re really basic as to what we’re doing.” 當有觀察家談到關於他的潛能的進步時，他說，"一般來說現在算是比較舒服的時候了。 我們利用三角進攻改變了很多。而今年我們確實非常基礎的在實行這套戰術。" That’s been necessary, he said, because “we keep getting new additions. D.J. (Mbenga), Pau (Gasol). People get hurt, traded. We got Trevor (Ariza) at midseason. So we’re still real basic.” 但這是必須的，他說，"因為我們一直有新人的加入，Mbenga、Gasol等。然後有人受傷， 有人被交易。而我們在季中也獲得Ariza的加入。所以我們現在仍然非常基礎的在演練。" Winter acknowledged that the team has shied away from the complex elements of the offense. In the past, when Phil Jackson’s Chicago Bulls teams grew in their understanding of the offense, they tended to leave opponents in another class, particularly in the playoffs. The Lakers, too, did that during their championship years with Jackson when they had so many veteran role players who embraced the offense. Winter則表示這支球隊已經慢慢的從這套複雜的戰術體系中領悟出來了。在過去，當Phil Jackson的公牛隊在這套進攻中成長完後，他們就開始把自己提升到跟對手不同的層次了， 特別是在季後賽中。而湖人在連霸期間也一樣，同樣有Phil在，而且有很多老將來扮演其 他綠葉的角色充分的詮釋這套進攻。 Farmar points out that the new additions mean that reaching that special feeling with the offense will take more patience, more time together. Right now, the Lakers are using the basics of the offense to improve one step at a time with their new teammates. Farmar則指出新東西的加入意思是要對這套進攻感到有特別的感覺必須要更多的耐性，以 及要伴隨更多的時間。而現在湖人正利用這套戰術的基礎，和新的成員們一步一步的進步 。 “It’s simple; it’s just good basketball,” Farmar explained. “You play the right way. It’s pretty simple basketball. Pau (Gasol) really does a great job fitting in. He knows how to play the right way. As for me, it’s just getting comfortable, just getting experience.” Farmar解釋到，"其實這很簡單，不過就是把籃球打好嘛。你只要能夠用正確的方式打球， 那這就是真的很簡單的打籃球而已。Gasol就很棒的融入在其中。他知道如何用正確的方式 打球。而對我來說，我也越來越感到蘇湖，以及越來越有經驗了。" Farmar isn’t quite yet ready to declare that less is more. 不過Farmar還是沒辦法完全的瞭解什麼叫做，"做得少就是幹得好。" “I’m not sure,” he said. “Um… I think that just being here, being in this situation, is good. Feeling that I can be successful in that system, and that I can modify my game and improve myself, in order to benefit the team as a whole, I’m just looking forward to doing that throughout my career.” 他說，"其實我不是很確定。嗯～～我想就是做吧，讓自己進入狀況就是好事。讓自己去感 覺我在這個系統中一定可以成功，而為了要讓球隊可以得益於我，我可以在比賽中調整自 己，並且讓自己進步，我就是得期待自己可以在職業生涯中都做好。" He’s also aware that the team has to improve defensively, just as he’s aware that Winter is calling for the Lakers to rely on their centers and power forwards to help defend against penetrating guards. Winter doesn’t want the team to get help from the wings, because it leaves open shooters that have routinely hurt the Lakers by making big shots. 他也注意到球隊需要在防守上多加強，同時他也注意到Winter要求球隊必須依賴中鋒和大 前鋒來阻止後衛的滲透。而Winter不希望球隊是由兩翼的人進來補防，因為湖人常常受到 來自於兩翼端射手投進重要投籃的傷害。 Winter says the Lakers are like the rest of the teams around the NBA. “They like to pack it in to stop that penetration,” he said. Winter說其實湖人就像其他NBA球對一樣，"他們喜歡擠到中間去來阻止後衛的滲透。" There’s the obvious reason for that, Farmar responds. “That’s what you want to do in basketball anyway, you want to make people beat you from the outside. You don’t want people all in your paint. That’s what opposing teams do. They have guys who can get in there. That’s not what you want. You don’t want people in your paint all day. Then it forces people to come in to help, and they get even better shots.” Farmar對此回應，認為這原因非常明顯。他說，"總而言之這就是你打球就必須這樣做，你 寧願別人打敗你是因為他們在外圍打敗你，但你絕不希望他們全都在禁區對你造成傷害。 但這就是對手想做的。他們就是有人可以滲透進來，但這是你最不想見到的。你總不會希 望有人有事沒事就可以在你禁區逛大街吧。所以這時就必須有人到禁區去補防，但對手又 會因此在外圍漏出更好的投射機會。" Farmar says he and his teammates understand what Winter is saying, but it also means adjustment. If the big man helps defend when a quick guard breaks down the defense, then another teammate from the weak side has to rotate to “ help the helper. But still somebody has to come off the weak side and help cover the big man. It’s a collective team effort every possession down. Farmar說他和他的隊友都瞭解Winter所說的，但這也表示要進行調整的動作。當禁區大個 幫忙阻止對方後衛快速切入時，則另一個位處弱邊的隊友就必須輪轉到另一邊去補防。但 這時就表示有人必須要離開弱邊，然後去幫忙填補禁區大個所漏出來的另一個洞。這是每 一次防守工作時全隊要一起投入來做的。 “You have to expand and contract as a unit, getting other people’s back and really playing hard and rotating hard,” he said. “If we do that, we’ll be ok.” 他說，"你就是必須要擴張或緊縮防守網可以自如，補上另一個人所漏出來的洞，然後更努 力的追上然後更勤快的輪轉。如果我們可以做得好，那我們就OK了。" GASOL New center/forward Pau Gasol says he is putting in extra time learning the triangle offense. 新來的Gasol說他正花費其他的時間來學習三角戰術。 “Everything matters,” he says when asked one of his first lessons. “The offense is a system that’s pretty good. It works well for me because most of the time I’m a post. Whether I make a pass or make a move, it’s pretty good. It’s where my comfort zone is. It works well. I am starting to digest everything, starting to realize where I am at right now. 當他被問到他初學東西的時候表示，"每件事都很重要。這種進攻戰術是一種絕佳的系統。 但這對我來講很適合我，因為大部分的時間我都待在低位。無論我是傳球或是移動，對我 來講都很好。這是我讓我很蘇湖的地區，而且可以運轉得很好。而我現在也開始在消化每 樣東西，也開始瞭解我現在正位處的處境。" Like Winter, Gasol admits to wondering what how the Lakers will fit once center Andrew Bynum gets back from injury in March/April. “It will be a little different when Andrew gets back,” Gasol observed. “I don’t know how different it’s going to be. But hopefully I’ll know more about the offense and the possibilities and all the options. I’m looking forward to it, because with Andrew in there we will be a team with a lot of size and a lot of power.” 跟Winter一樣，Gasol也承認當Bynum在三～四月間回來時，湖人該要怎麼運作是個問題。 Gasol認為，"當Bynum回來時勢必要有一些調整。但我現在不知道未來會怎麼做。但我希 望可以對這套進攻系統、攻擊機會及所有的進攻選擇多瞭解一些。但我也期待那天的到來 ，因為當Bynum回來待在禁區的時候，我們球隊將會有高大的身材及力量的優勢。" He was asked if he looked forward to a playoffs where he could play the 4 or even the 3 spot, rather than the 5, where his slight frame makes him vulnerable to getting overpowered. 當他被問到他是否希望在季後賽可以不要打五號位置，轉而去打三號或四號。因為以他細 長的骨架待在五號位可能會因為對抗力過猛而容易造成受傷。 He laughed, said he would take it day by day and not let his thoughts drift too far ahead. 他笑著說，他仍將每天進行該做的功課，不會讓這些東西把他的專注力給轉得太遠。 That’s more the business of lame sportswriters with too much time on their hands. 至於這種問題就留給時間太多的跛腳體育記者去寫吧。XD --
