Greg White Basketball News Services Well here we are just 5 days until the start of camp. With the exception of an injured Jackson Vroman, the entire team is ready - lock, stock, and loaded - for the upcoming season. The buzz for the upcoming season has been amazing. There has been the addition of Q which has brought the excitement of competition between him and Joe Johnson. There is the expectations of Amare and Marion. The excitement of what young Stephen Hunter will bring. With all of this, it is almost as if the signing of Steve Nash was just an afterthought, and that was perhaps the most important one of the summer. But Bryan Colangelo came out a couple of days ago and mentioned something very interesting. 離訓練營開始大概還有五天。扣掉受傷的 Vroman ，其他全部的球員都 已經為接下來的球季做好準備。下個球季的話題令人驚奇。這裡已經有 帶來刺激的 Q 和 JJ 之間的競爭;這裡有 Amare和 Marion 。令人玩味 的是年輕的 Hunter 能帶給球隊哪些影響。這些幾乎就是全部了——假 如簽下 Nash 是件需要球季開打後才會被認為是件很聰明的事的話，而 這或許是整個暑假最重要的一件事。不過小柯在幾天前就來了，而且指 出一些讓人頗感興趣的事情。 Colangelo mentioned that Amare Stoudemire will see some time at the center spot. Now Colangelo is not one who attempts to step on the coaches toes so obviously this was something that has been discussed between D'Antoni and Colangelo. 小科指出 Amare會分擔一點中鋒的工作。現在小科已經不是那個在試圖 鞭策教練的人了，因此很明顯地， D'Antoni 和小科之間已經討論過這 件事了。 How is Amare playing a little at the 5 spot work? Amare has post game, hops, speed, athleticism, but he isn't a center. Does this comment expose a weakness on the Suns? Is it to cover up for not adding another quality big man after Hunter? Amare 打中鋒如何？ Amare 有籃下動作、彈跳力、速度以及拼勁，但是 他不是個中鋒。這樣等於公開展示太陽的弱點嗎？這是為了彌補 Hunter 之外沒有找到任何一個合用的大個嗎？ Some of these questions may have rumbled through your thought process after hearing that Amare will play a few minutes at the 5. But rest assured it isn't to cover any type of weakness on the Suns, but a tactic to expose weaknesses in the opponent. By playing Amare at the 5, the Suns get to have their 5 best players on the court at one time. As I have mentioned in this space previously, the Suns have the best combo of 5 players in the NBA. 以上問題可能會讓你在聽到 Amare將分擔一點中鋒任務之後的思考程序造 成一些混亂。但是其餘部分顯示這不是掩飾任何太陽的弱點的方式，而是 一種使對手弱點曝光的戰術。藉由將 Amare放到中鋒，太陽可以同時將自 己最好的五個球員同時擺在場上。一如這裡在之前這段空檔所注意到的， 太陽有全 NBA 最好的球員五連發。 You will be hard pressed to name a collection of 5 players better than Amare, Marion, Q, JJ, and Nash! 你很難去指名哪一隊的五個人能同時好過 Amare 、 Marion 、 Q 、 JJ 以及 Nash ！ It isn't like Amare will log major minutes at the 5 position either. When the Suns go to small ball, it wont matter that he isn't a true center, because the Suns will be getting up and down the floor anyway. During the 5-10 minutes that Amare will be playing the 5 spot the Suns will be so quick and athletic, the other team may find themselves forced to go small to try to compete. 這看起來也不像 Amare 會長時間負擔中鋒任務。當太陽玩小球時跟 Amare 是不是一個正統中鋒沒甚麼太大的關係，因為太陽會在球場的任何地方起起 落落。在 Amare 擔任中鋒的5～10分鐘內，太陽會變得非常迅捷而充滿運動 力，對手可能會發現，他們可能被迫一起玩小球以抗衡太陽隊。 It really works against the teams backup center. If you think about it, most starting centers in the league, should only be backup centers to begin with. Center is not the strongest position in the L today. A lot of people refer to the west as big, but it's the 4 spot where all of the stars are. With Shaq gone, the only true centers in the west are Yao, Miller, Vlade, Ratliff and Dampier. Other than that most of the centers in the west are weak, and the backups even worse. The Suns wouldn't have to worry about anyone exploiting Amare at the 5 because there is nobody. 這真的會對球隊中鋒替補戰力產生不利的影響。假如你這麼想的話，那聯 盟裡多數的先發中鋒都應該去從替補幹起（應該就是 Amare幹替補中鋒還 不夠格的話，那聯盟裡大多數的先發中鋒都只有幹替補的本事，也就是說 Amare 比聯盟裡大多書先發中鋒都更能做好中鋒的工作吧）。時至今日， 中鋒已經不是低位最強壯的位置。很多人都說西區內線強大，但那是指滿 地明星球員的4 號位置。隨著俠客出走，西區剩下的正牌中鋒有姚明、 B.Miller 、老狄、 Ratliff 和 Dampier 。其餘的西區中鋒都不算上得了 台面，而其替補只有更糟。太陽隊不會擔心有任何人能在5號位置打垮 Amare ，因為這個位置上沒甚麼人才。 Even in the east, outside of Shaq and a few others, most centers in the entire league are bulked up 4's or not good enough to be starting. 就算在東區，扣掉俠客和其餘少部分中鋒，聯盟大部分的中鋒都是4號球員 的延伸，或是還不夠好到可以擔任先發。 No the Suns are trying to wave a magic wand to cover up anything. 太陽不是在試圖用甚麼怪招掩飾甚麼東西。 The thought of playing the best 5 players on the court at one time is in fact salivating. 同時擺上五個最好的球員的想法實際上是很令人流口水的。 D'Antoni's assistant Alvin Gentry has some experience playing versatile players on the court at one time regardless of position. He did it with the Clippers with Brand, Odom, Maggette, Q, and Miles. The Clippers were quite exciting and almost made the playoffs because they could cause match up problems with nearly every team. The Suns can do that same thing and even better. D'Antoni 的助理教練 Alvin Gentry 就有過同時放上多個多樣性球員在場 上而不管位置的經驗。他在快艇隊時曾擺上 Brand 、 Odom 、 Maggette 、 Q 和 Miles，當時的快艇隊十分勁爆而且幾乎打進季後賽，因為他們可以 幾乎能對每一隊製造防守錯位問題。太陽隊可以再作一次同樣的事情，而且可 以作得更好。 So get ready for the Fab Five appearing at an arena near you! 所以做好準備，迎接這 F5 出現在你身邊的日子吧！ --
