(David) Harrison has been looking better but Foster's (productivity) seems to merit a starting lineup spot. Why is he not starting? Is this a perceived matchup matter, or is (Coach Rick) Carlisle putting Harrison in the starting lineup for another reason? (From Rupert in Houston) Ｑ：Jeff Foster 最近很火。 David Harrison 的確進步了，但是 Foster 的貢獻似乎比較適合進駐先發位置。為什麼他還沒先發？是因為沒有適 　　合他先發的對手或是 Carlisle 教練有某些原因要讓 Harrison 先發？ A:. Foster certainly has played well for an extended period of time, so it would be reasonably safe to assume he has regained most of the conditioning and rhythm lost in the prolonged recovery from offseason hip surgery. In the last 10 games, Foster has averaged 7.6 points and 9.6 rebounds while shooting 63 percent from the field. He also has made his free throws, going 14-of-18 (78 percent) after an 8-of-22 start. Based on performance, he does merit a long look for a spot in the starting lineup. Ａ： Foster 最近打得絕對是個好，所以，猜測他已經回到巔峰、找回手術前 　　身手應該也是無可厚非。過去十場比賽中， Foster 平均有７.６分，９.６ 　　籃板，而且命中率達６３％。他還有相當不錯的罰球命中率（投１８中１４） 　　達７８％，比起季初投２２中８真的大幅進步。根據這樣的表現，他的確 　　值得擔任先發。 Constructing the best team, however, is rarely about putting the best five players on the court at the same time. It's about finding pieces that fit together well and play complementary roles. Harrison originally moved into the lineup when O'Neal came down with pneumonia and played well enough to keep the job. When O'Neal is out, Harrison is a more attractive option in the middle because he provides a legitimate post presence on offense, allowing the system to function relatively smoothly. That would favor Harrison remaining in the lineup at least until O'Neal returns from his most recent malady, this time a sprained left ankle. 　　然而，組織最佳陣容很少代表把最好的五個球員同時擺在場上。組織最佳 　　陣容必須要找到彼此能夠合作、互補性高的球員組合。 Harrison 一開始 　　先發是因為 O'Neal 肺炎，而且他的表現的確不錯因此能保有先發位置。 　　當 O'Neal 不在， Harrison 會因為他能夠在禁區作出背框攻擊，成為我 　　們進攻系統的樞紐而顯得較適合先發。現在 O'Neal 又一次因傷暫時不在 　　Harrison 還是會因為這樣的思考邏輯而成為先發。 The other factor weighing into the decision to start Harrison is that he generally has been more effective with the first unit, which plays primarily a halfcourt game. The second unit plays at a faster tempo because of the nature of its personnel. Foster fits in well with that group, where Harrison has struggled. That's not to say Foster won't soon return to the first unit, because he historically has worked well with O'Neal and his defense, rebounding and energy are extremely valuable. Either way, Foster will continue to play the lion's share of the minutes in the middle, regardless of when he enters the game. 另一個讓 Harrison 先發的原因是，他與主打半場進攻的先發陣容搭配時 　一向比較有效率。替補陣容的球員特質讓他們一般走快節奏。 Foster 很 　適應這樣的打法而 Harrison 不太有辦法融入。這不代表 Foster 不會再 　先發，因為 Foster 一直以來跟 O'Neal 搭配得都很好，他的防守、抓籃 　板功力以及拼勁都很珍貴。不管先發與否，不管他何時上場， Foster 未 　來還是會有相當多的上場機會。 Ｇｏ　Ｐａｃｅｒｓ～～ --
