Mavs cop defensive attitude Winning percentage is close to 100 when opponents are stifled 外電網址： http://tinyurl.com/8pgwz 11:05 PM CST on Thursday, December 29, 2005 By EDDIE SEFKO / The Dallas Morning News It's a constant battle for the Mavericks coaches to get their players thinking defense before offense. So any hard evidence backing them up is like gold. 對小牛隊的教練們來說，讓他們的球員更重視防守是一直以來的課題。所以任何能證明此 論點的證據對他們來說都像金子一樣珍貴。 That makes the following statistic a 24-carat nugget: 於是，以下的數據對他們來說就像一塊24開的金塊。（就是超重要啦） Since the 2001-02 season, the Mavericks are 196-12 (94.2 percent) when holding their opponent to the same or worse shooting percentage. They are 52-96 when out-shot. 從01-02賽季起，當小牛讓他們的對手命中率等於或低於小牛時，小牛拿了196勝12敗（ 94.2%的勝率！！）。但當命中率不如對手時，他們只拿了52勝96敗。 More than any other fact, this illustrates the need for defensive toughness - more than their 63-0 record (dating to the end of that 2001-02 season) when shooting 50 percent or better. 這點比任何數據更能突顯強悍防守的需要，包括比「當命中率高於50%時，小牛拿下了63 勝0敗的戰績」（從01-02賽季至截稿日期）。 You can only count on shooting 50 percent or better about once every four or five games, even if you're a gifted offensive team. 即使是個對進攻十分有才能的隊伍，你也不能期待它每場都拿下高於50%的命中率。 You can shut down your opponent's offense with much more regularity. The Mavericks are proof. And their record when doing so borders on the incredible. 但是好的防守是較不會失常的，小牛隊也試過了，而且當他們試著如此時，成效是非常驚 人的。 "If you can really concentrate on every possession and try to make it hard for them to get a good look, and keep that shooting percentage of theirs down, that takes the pressure off your own shooting percentage," said assistant coach Del Harris. "Now it's true we've won 63 straight when we shoot 50 percent. But I like this stat better than hoping to shoot 50 percent. 「如果你能專心於每場球並且不讓你的對手過於輕鬆，讓他們的命中率下降，這樣自己的 命中率高低就不會是個很大的壓力。」，助理教練Del如此說道。「沒錯，當我們命中率 50%時我們拿下了63勝0敗，但我喜歡這個情形更甚於追求每場50%的命中率。」 "When you say, we'll just out-shoot them, that's a harder way to look at it." 「當你說『我們就是要在命中率壓過他們』時，那是比較難去期待的」。 It may seem like a matter of semantics. But it's a very real difference from a coach's perspective. 可能是語義上的問題，但這跟小將軍的觀點有很大的不同。 "We don't have that philosophy," Avery Johnson said. "We're not trying to out-shoot you. We're just trying to out-defend you." 「我們沒有那套哲學。」小將軍如此說道。「我們並沒有想一味猛攻，但我們盡力去防守 每一球。」 It's hard to argue with the results. They are 19-0 this year when it's happened. The players notice, too. And that's not an easy leap to make for this roster, which is full of players who have a history of being offensive-minded. 結果是無庸置疑的。當他們盡全力防守時，他們在今年拿下了19勝0敗。球員們也注意到 了這點。但對於以往比較注重攻擊的他們來說，這不是個簡單的改變。 "Our mind-set is to hold these teams to a low shooting percentage and conversely, we're hoping we shoot the ball a lot better than them," Keith Van Horn said. "But the focus has to be on holding them to a low percentage, not out-shooting them. And I think we've done a pretty good job of it. 「我們現在的心態是將對手的命中率壓低並希望我們的命中率能比他們高。」Van Horn說 ，「但重點必須是壓低他們的命中率，不是在跟他們比攻擊。我想，我們這點做得很棒。 」 "We'll have to keep it up, huh?" 「我們一定會保持下去的，對吧？」 They'll get no complaints from the coaching staff. 如此，他們再也不會從教練團那聽到任何抱怨。 ============================================================================== 如有不順暢或是與原意有出入之處，還是請各位儘量以外電為主。 請見諒。 可能是翻譯能力的問題。 但我覺得助理教練Del跟小將軍的論點不是一樣都是強調防守是比較重要的嗎？ 但是外電原文說他們兩人的觀點不太一同，我也照翻了，但有點疑惑。 還有今年19勝0敗是於什麼的基準下來算的？我其實也不太清楚。 還請高手解惑~~ 總之，小牛已經脫離了以往給人「重攻輕守」的觀念，這是我非常樂於見到的 雖然前幾年小牛跟國王的飆分秀可能已不復見 但我總覺得小牛朝總冠軍更近了一步！ I Love Mavericks！！ --
