How to Train Your Dragic: The Suns Star Talks About His Evolution 馴龍高手之如何訓練你的少主：太陽對少主進化的分析 If you review the thousands of forgotten “NBA preview” articles now buried beneath five months of newer content, it’s hard to find many kind words about the Phoenix Suns. Most writers agreed they were supposed to suck. On purpose. Back then, the Suns narrative was formed around intentional failure, dumping veteran salary, accruing draft picks, and “rebuilding” — whatever that means. Phoenix was supposed to be very bad this season, but its wheeling and dealing just might help it construct a winning roster down the road. 如果你現在回顧五個月前數千篇的『NBA季前分析』，你會發現這些文章對太陽一點都不友 善。大多數作家都認為太陽會擺爛，而且還是故意的。太陽上個賽季的表現圍繞著故意輸 球、砍老將的薪水、累積選秀權、還有『重建』。無論這些到底代表什麼，所有人都預期 這個賽季，太陽一定很糟，但是這些過程或許幫助了太陽建立起贏家的地位。 A funny thing happened on the way to the 2014 NBA lottery: 60 games into the season, the Suns are 10 games over .500 and just 1.5 games behind Golden State for sixth place in the mighty Western Conference. Night in and night out, the Suns’ roster of relatively anonymous players is tormenting guys with bloated Q scores and giant shoe contracts. In a sense, they are the breakthrough indie act of the NBA. (Hi, Axl! Where’s Axl?) 有趣的事情發生了，2014球季，進行了60場比賽，太陽勝率超過五成，勝敗場差為10場， 只落後金州勇士1.5場差，在西區排名第六。(後面看不懂 請版友開示) Phoenix’s best player is Goran Dragic, a 27-year-old point guard from Ljubljana, Slovenia. He’s a six-year veteran who has spent his career bouncing back and forth between Phoenix and Houston. He didn’t exactly impress NBA analysts during his first few years in the league; in fact, John Hollinger once claimed Dragic was “arguably the worst player in the NBA.” 太陽今年表現最好的球員就是少主，27歲他來自斯洛伐尼亞，主打控位。他在聯盟已經打 滾了六年，在鳳凰城跟休士頓之間來去了幾次。他在菜鳥年並沒有讓人印象特別深刻，事 實上，John Hollinger還曾經批評少主是『NBA最糟的球員』 Nobody will ever say that again. Dragic’s ascendance hasn’t been rapid, but it has been remarkable. Since his rookie season, his game has evolved steadily. Looking at his shot locations over time shows how far he’s come in his five-plus years in the league. 如今，沒人會再提起這句話，少主的影響力之前並沒有那麼突出，但是卻讓人感到卓越， 自從菜鳥年開始，他不斷地進化，讓我們來觀察少主出手地點跟次數，來得知他這五年內 的改變。 http://espngrantland.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/evolution1152.jpg?w=510&h=342 I spoke to Dragic this week about his development as a player and what’s working now that hasn’t really clicked in the past. 我曾跟少主談論他的進步，還有他以前未做過的訓練 “When I came to the league, I was kind of the lost kid from Europe. I had come from a different culture and a different kind of basketball, so it took some time to adjust,” Dragic said. “Now, I know how the league works and I’ m just more comfortable. I worked hard to develop my game, and it’s easier for me.” 『當我剛來到聯盟，我像個來自歐洲的孤兒，家鄉的文化還有籃球的風格都跟這不同，所 以，我花了些時間去適應。』，『現在我瞭解聯盟的運作，這讓我自在多了。我為了比賽 而更努力訓練，這對我來說還算容易。』 This season Dragic has become one of the most effective guards in the league. It’s ridiculous that he wasn’t an All-Star. Of the 20 NBA players scoring 20 or more points per game, only five are making half of their shots: Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Blake Griffin, Anthony Davis, and Dragic. 少主本季成為聯盟效率值的領先者，對於未曾成為明星球員的他來說，似乎有點荒謬。在 聯盟中能夠每場獲得至少20分的球員中，只有五位球員能夠達成五成命中率，他們分別是 KD、LBJ、BG、AD，再來就是少主 http://espngrantland.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/dragic1152.jpg?w=510&h=401 Dragic has become freakishly effective near the hoop. He is making 62 percent of his shots inside eight feet. Of 85 players who have attempted at least 250 shots from that distance this season, Dragic ranks 12th in efficiency. 少主已經成為籃框附近得分效率超高的球員，在離籃框8呎內的投籃，命中率為62％，在聯 盟中，在這個投籃範圍內，至少命中250個投籃的球員中，少主排名第12 That’s especially impressive considering he is only 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds. 對於只有六呎三吋，190磅的少主來說，這是很令人印象深刻的 How is Dragic so effective near the hoop? He gets easy buckets in transition, and he’s become a master attacker off picks in half-court sets. One of the Suns’ key strategies is to let their duo of speedy point guards simply outrace the opponent down the floor in transition, and between Dragic and Eric Bledsoe, they are really good at executing that. As a result, they lead the NBA in fast-break points. 那少主是如何在籃框附近保持高效率的？他能夠在攻守轉換中輕鬆拿分，而且他也是半場 攻擊執行檔拆的主要發動機，太陽的關鍵進攻策略就是，在攻守轉換中，讓速度飛快的少 主跟雷獸，這雙後衛撕裂對手防線，他們兩個很擅長做這件事情，所以，太陽能夠在快攻 得分上領先全聯盟。 http://i.minus.com/i4tP0khLbPijk.gif This isn’t just Seven Seconds or Less basketball. The Suns have also quickly become one of the best pick-and-roll acts in the game. Recent player-tracking data analytics suggest that the Dragic–Channing Frye pairing is the most efficient pick-and-roll tandem in the league. According to the data, the Suns are averaging a ridiculous 1.3 points per possession on the 392 Dragic-Frye pick-and-rolls this season. 這可不是電影"07 Seconds or Less"中的情節。太陽今年成為了最會打檔拆的隊伍，以少 主跟福來的數據來分析，他們兩個的搭配是聯盟中檔拆組合效率最高的。數據顯示，在392 次檔拆戰術執行中，少主-福來的組合每一回檔拆可以得到荒謬的1.3分。 People around the league have noticed: 這時有人發現了這事實 Pacers head coach Frank Vogel called the Dragic/Frye pick and roll "maybe the hardest to cover in the game." 溜馬總教練Frank Vogel表示，少主-福來可能是整個聯盟最難防守的檔拆組合 Dragic is quick to point out that the return of Frye — the team’s most vital spacing agent — has been central to Phoenix’s dramatic offensive improvements. “Last year he had some heart problems and couldn’t play with us, so when I played pick-and-roll I didn’t have that space guy,” he says. “This year, when we play pick-and-roll, Channing stretches the floor so I have room to operate; I can get inside the paint and make other plays for him and everybody else. He just gives us that spacing, and especially for me and Eric he makes things much easier because nobody can rotate from him.” 少主很快的點出福來的復出有多重要，他們兩個是太陽最重要的空間製造者，也是今年進 攻大進步的中心，『去年福來因為心臟病而報銷，我無法跟他執行檔拆，所以沒人可以幫 我拉開空間』，『但是今年當我們打檔拆，福來會延展空間，所以我有空間製造得分， 我可以切入禁區分球給福來或是其他人，他只是把空間清出，對我跟布雷獸來說，這讓得 分變得比較輕鬆，因為沒人可以擋住他。』 Nobody can rotate away from Frye; there are very few bigs in the league who can shoot from distance as well as he can. 沒人可以在防守輪轉中離開福來，他是聯盟中少有遠距離投射能力的大個兒 http://espngrantland.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/frye1152.jpg?w=510&h=424 Frye says the keys to their pick-and-roll success are quick recognition and smart decisions to create defensive stresses. 福來表示，檔拆成功的關鍵就在於快速的認知跟聰明的選擇，這能製造防守的壓力 “Goran is an extremely prolific scorer and for me it’s about establishing that I’m going to set a good screen every single time and try to get my guy to get off Goran’s body,” Frye said. “If Goran’s guy goes under, it’s Goran’s job to be able to shoot that shot and my job to give him the space to shoot it in. If my guy stays on Goran, it’s my job to create space for myself to get an open shot. You know, I’ve got to assess this within milliseconds, but we’ve been good at it. Goran’s been aggressive and smart, while I’ve been pretty good at hitting the shots that I’ve been given and trying to make the right decisions.” 『少主是個超高效率的得分手，這建立在我能夠在每次場上幫他製造視野，並且幫助防守 者遠離少主。』『如果少主選擇中距離，那我的任務就是製造空間讓他投籃，如果我的防 守者跟著少主，那我的任務就是製造自己的空檔投籃，這一切發生在毫秒之中，但我們配 合得很棒，少主積極又聰明，當我手感好時，他會把球送給我，讓我們的配合繼續往對的 方向走。』 Frye takes more 3s than 2s, and his ability to drain those 3s is worth far more than just the handful of points that directly result from those baskets. It’s a constant threat that demands defensive attention and changes the defensive tactics in a way that opens up the interior for his attacking teammates. Frye’s proficient above-the-break shot is arguably the most important in the whole offense, and it obviously wasn’t there last year. 福來三分得分比兩分還多，以他的能力投三分遠比那少量的兩分還值得，這在對手為了防 守內線，而更要求專注度跟改變防守策略上感到威脅。福來精準的投籃無疑是太陽進攻上 的重點，而這並沒有在去年發生。 But this season, the Suns run a terrifying pick-and-pop that results in Frye threatening near the top of the arc and, as he says, puts the defense in a horrible predicament: 但是這個球季，太陽執行了恐怖的檔拆戰術，讓福來在弧頂成了一個大威脅，迫使防守者 陷入恐怖的困境。 “If you have penetrators like Goran there’s no way the defense can stop the ball and get back to the shooter in time, especially with me because I’m almost 7 feet tall and have a pretty quick release,” Frye said. “It’s just a matter of who is doing what on the defense, and our offense making the decision from there.” 『如果你有像少主一樣的切入者，那防守者想要阻止他跟射手是無解的，尤其是當我和少 主搭檔時，我有接近7呎的身高能夠很快的接應』，『這跟對手的防守有關，我們會觀察 對手的防守而決定如何進攻』 Frye has a gravitational pull that forces bigs away from the rim, creating attacking corridors for Dragic, who excels at “turning the corner,” attacking the basket, and making plays. In turn, Dragic’s attacking abilities create wide-open looks for Frye or other perimeter shooters. This symbiosis is the heart of the Suns’ offensive ecosystem, and it is by no means an accident. 福來有著向地心引力的吸引力讓對手的大個子遠離籃框，並且製造攻擊的大道給少主， 尤其少主在『turning the corner, attacking the basket（不會翻 請版友補充）』非 常專精，或者，少主在攻擊上能夠製造空檔給射手們，這就是太陽的攻擊生態，而這絕非 意外。 Before the season, it was clear that Jeff Hornacek and the coaching staff really examined the roster and engineered schemes accordingly. Instead of being paralyzed by a “redundancy” at point guard, they created ways to make that a unique strength. Relative to the celebrity power of other teams, this team is less impressive, yet somehow the on-court cohesion far exceeds the sum of the parts. Now they feel like they can beat anybody in the league. 在這賽季之前，老何跟教練團很明確的要考驗先發球員跟球隊改造，與其被過多的控衛癱 瘓比賽，不如想出了方法讓球隊變得獨一無二強大，相對於其他擁有巨頭的球隊，太陽並 不讓感到印象深刻，但是球隊的凝聚力加速了成長，現在他們相信能夠擊敗聯盟的任何一 隻球隊。 --------------- 這篇文章有點長 花了一個多小時翻譯 有些地方還是不太懂 還請版友們補充 謝謝！！ -- t a ╭ ◢█◤ ═══╮ ╭ theanswer3 ╮ h n ║ █▌ ● ╰═══════════════════╯ ▏ S╴ ║ e s ║ █▌ ◣ ◢█◣ ◢█◣ ◢█◣ ◢█◣ ◢ ◢ ◣ █◣ ◢ρ￣ ║ w ║ █▌ ◢ █ ███ █▌ █◢◤ █▌ █◢█ █ ██ Λ5 ║ e ║◢███◤ ◥ ◥▌◤ ◥█◤ ◥█◤ ◥█◤ ◥◤◥ ◥ ▌◤ 〈 ║ r 3╰═══════════════════════════ #55 ▅▇▇▆ ╯ --
