作者：Swoosh Shrestha 網址：https://reurl.cc/QVeNZq It only took 12 minutes to prove that Duncan Robinson is the most underrated Piston The Pistons have weathered many injuries this season, but tonight is their first game without Duncan Robinson and it's showing. Robinson suffered an ankle sprain in Detroit's narrow victory over his former team, the Heat, on Saturday night. His absence has exposed the Pistons' lack of shooting and offensive struggles. 活塞本季已經撐過一堆傷兵潮了，但今晚是他們第一次沒有 Duncan Robinson 上場，結 果馬上看得出影響。 Duncan 在星期六對上老東家熱火時扭到腳，雖然那場還是驚險贏球，但他缺陣後，活塞 外線火力整個見底，進攻也卡得要命。 Robinson is Detroit's only consistent shooter DR是活塞唯一的優質射手 In Robinson's place, two-way guard Daniss Jenkins is starting alongside Cade Cunningham. Jenkins offers more playmaking and scoring off the dribble than Robinson, but isn't as potent of a shooter. In fact, very few players in the league can match Robinson's production as a shooter. He's ninth in the NBA in threes made this season while shooting them at a 40% clip. 在 Robinson 缺陣的情況下，活塞把雙向合約的後衛 Daniss Jenkins 拉上先發，跟 Cade Cunningham 一起搭檔。 Jenkins 的優點是能自己運球進攻、能做一點組織，比 Robinson 更多變；但外線火力當 然沒辦法比。 說真的，聯盟裡能跟 Robinson 那種射手水準比的本來就不多。 他本季三分命中數排 全 NBA 第 9 名，命中率還有 40%，這種產量跟準度，你要找替代 品幾乎不可能。 But Robinson's impact goes even beyond his made threes. He's constantly on the move offensively and drags defenders with him as he flies off screens. His off-ball impact has helped his teammates in all different lineups, whether it's the normal starting unit or a game where Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren are out. It's no wonder that he has one of the highest offensive ratings on the team. In their first quarter without Robinson all season, the Pistons finished with just 25 points - well short of their average of 120 points per game. They shot 2-of-8 from three in the quarter and struggled offensively overall. Not only were the shots not falling without Robinson's shooting gravity, but the Pistons also did a poor job of protecting the ball. They also had 6 turnovers in the quarter. The offense looked especially rough right out of the gate. The Pistons had 5 turnovers in the first 5 minutes, which is usually when Robinson has helped settle the offense recently. He often hits a 3 in the opening minutes to kickstart the offense and establish himself as a threat for the opposing defense. And Robinson has stepped up big time this season on the other end of the court. He had arguably his best defensive game as a Piston in Miami, but has competed consistently. He's not as talented of a defender as some of his teammates, but Robinson's effort has made it easier for other Pistons to make defensive plays. It was a major weakness of his on the Heat, but it's clear that the Pistons have inspired him to improve defensively. When the Pistons traded for Robinson in the offseason, they received a lot of criticism for his contract, which pays $16.8 million this season. But he's quickly proving to be worth the deal this season with his irreplacable shooting. He's the only Piston that opposing defenses respect as an established shooter, and he uses that to his advantage. On paper, Robinson is one of the league's best shooters but his impact goes even beyond the stats. 但 Robinson 的價值其實不只是在他投進多少三分球而已。 他在場上一直不停跑動、繞掩護，防守者也被他整路拖著走。他的無球牽制力在各種組合 裡都超有用——不管是正常先發，還是 Cade Cunningham、Jalen Duren 缺陣的那些場次 這也是為什麼他在隊上的進攻效率名列前茅。 今晚是活塞本季第一次整節沒有 Robinson 的第一節，結果全隊只拿了 25 分—離他們 平均每場破120分差很大。 整節三分只8投2中，進攻整個卡住。不只是少了 Robinson 的外線牽制導致空檔變少 ，活塞連球都保護不好，單節就6次失誤。 尤其開局那段超慘——前5分鐘就5次失誤。 照理講這段都是Robinson會幫忙穩住節奏的時間，他常常在開場就直接來一記三分，讓 對手知道「欸我在這裡喔，注意點」，同時也帶動整隊的進攻。 更重要的是，Robinson 今年在防守端也大幅進步。他對熱火那一場甚至可以說是他來活 塞後最好的防守表現之一，而且整季都很認真拚。 沒錯，他天賦不像隊上其他防守悍將，但他的努力讓其他隊友更容易做防守輪轉、衝搶點 。 這在他熱火時期算是弱點，但來活塞後明顯被激出防守魂了。 當初活塞休賽季把 Robinson 換來時，外界一直酸他的合約太大（今年薪水是16.8M）。 但現在看起來，他的表現完全值這價碼，尤其是那種隊上唯一不可取代的射手屬性。 全聯盟都知道活塞真正有射程、值得包夾的人就他一個，而他也很懂得利用這點創造空間 。 帳面上他是聯盟一線等級的射手， 但他對比賽的影響力，其實比數據呈現的還多得多。 == 還沒有看比賽的人先去看重播 再回頭看這篇 --
