※ [本文轉錄自 NBA 看板 #1W2Z5oL6 ] 作者: lunkk (lunkk) 看板: NBA 標題: [外絮] Rubio怎麼了 時間: Fri Jan 22 09:59:08 2021 文章來源:https://reurl.cc/WE33Ze What's Going on With Ricky Rubio? -- Many Minnesota Timberwolves fans, myself included, were full of hope for this season. After such a long layoff from Wolves basketball, how could we not be? We were going to get the opportunity to see Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell play together, Anthony Edwards was stealing our hearts, and of course, Minnesota’s prodigal son, Ricky Rubio, returned home. The tables were set for an exciting year of basketball, if not a competitive one. 重點節錄:開季前灰狼迷充滿著希望。 Well, the fun is over. The Wolves are 3-9, KAT is hurt, and DLo isn’t “that guy,” Edwards doesn’t know how to play basketball yet, and Rubio looks one step from over the hill. Oh, and let’s not forget that COVID-19 is spreading through the NBA like crazy. KAT was diagnosed this weekend, and the Washington Wizards may never play again at the rate that they’re testing positive. The NBA needs to shut down and bubble up before someone gets seriously sick. If one player dies or loses their job because of the coronavirus, all this was not worth it. 重點節錄:開季後希望已破滅。 Anyway, I’m not here to talk about COVID. I’m here to talk about Rubio. I’ m not surprised that DLo can’t win on his own, and I’m certainly not surprised that Edwards is still figuring out the game, but I am shocked at how much Rubio has struggled this season. He celebrated his 30th birthday in October, so he should have a few good years left. If he’s washed already, then say so long to my pick-up career. 重點節錄: 開季前灰狼迷充滿著希望，但開季後希望已破滅。 作者不意外DLo無法靠自己贏球、不意外狀元仍在狀況外，但很驚訝盧小比打不好。目前 盧小比才剛滿30歲，照理說應該還能維持身手一段時間。 Rubio is putting up career-low numbers in points, assists, and rebounds — he happens to be playing a career-low 24.5 minutes a game, but there’s more to it than that. Rubio put up 13 points, 8.8 assists, and 4.7 rebounds while playing in 31 minutes a game last season. This year he’s averaging 6.3 points, 5.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds. That’s a big drop. 重點節錄:盧小比本季數據生涯新低(平均得6.3分、5.4助攻及2.8籃板)，雖然上場時間也 是生涯最低的24.5，但去年上場31分鐘的平均數據是13分、8.8助攻及4.7籃板。下滑的太 扯。 Part of the issue is that the offensive issues that plagued Rubio in his first stint with the Timberwolves have returned in his second go-round. He is shooting a miserable 38% from the field, which shockingly is not the worst shooting percentage of his career. From 2012-2016 he shot 36.8% on field goals. So I guess what I’m saying here is that the offensive struggles are not new. He has always struggled on that end of the floor. But why does it feel like he’s been particularly bad this season? 重點:命中率也很低，但過去他在灰狼時命中也是很低，照理說他應該習慣在這種劣勢下 打球，但為何本季的表現讓人覺得這麼糟糕呢? Rubio is pretty clearly not in shape. There was a moment during the preseason when he got a steal, lowered his head, and started sprinting down the court. The only problem is, he didn’t get any faster. I mean, he looked like he was speeding up — head down, big strides, dribble out in front of him — but he couldn’t get up to speed. Another moment during a game against the Denver Nuggets when he got the switch against Nikola Jokic. It’s every guard’s dream and something that the Nuggets work very hard to prevent. We all know that Nikola Slowkic can’t stay in front of NBA guards. Unfortunately for the Wolves, Rubio lacks the speed of an NBA guard right now and had to give up the ball because he couldn’t take advantage of the mismatch. 重點節錄:作者認為盧小比身體狀況不佳。某次在季前賽時，盧小比抄到球，開始低頭加 速往前場衝，但是似乎速度上不來，感覺像是打開推進器但車子卻無反應。 在另一場與金塊的比賽 中，他對位到阿肥，一般後衛對位到阿肥都可以靠速度吃掉甩開他(阿肥常被稱為Nikola “Slow”kic)，但盧小比似乎欠缺了NBA等級後衛該有的速度，他放棄這次機會，因為他 無法利用對方的對位失誤來取得好處。 An out of shape Rubio is about as useful offensively as a mop bucket. He is shooting 23.8% from the 3-point line this season, so if he’s not quick enough to get around his defender and operate in the middle of the floor, then he doesn’t really have a place in the offense. He’s actually shooting a healthy 53.8% from floater range, and he’s just struggling to get there. 重點節錄:三分球命中率低落的盧小比在進攻端如同拖把桶，因此假如他無法在場上快速 繞過防守者，那他在進攻方面就毫無用處(不過盧的實際投籃命中率有達到53.8%的正常水 準)。 But I want to be sensitive to Rubio’s situation. This summer, he was diagnosed with COVID-19. He returned to play in the bubble with the Phoenix Suns, but there is no telling how the virus could still affect him. I don’t want to make assumptions about his health, but it would be wrong for me to ignore that. It’s also completely possible that after the bubble, he took some time for himself and neglected to keep himself in NBA shape. As a fan of basketball, that would be disappointing. As a fan of Rubio and an advocate for work-life balance, I would be happy for him. 重點節錄:作者說他不想過度臆測，但去年夏天盧新冠肺炎中標，作者認為盧速度下降可 能與此有關，但也有可能是休賽期間沒維持好自己的狀態。作者希望盧可以在工作與生活 間取得平衡。 Either way, until he plays his way into shape, it’s hard to take any hard stance on where his game is at. What I do know is that he and DLo have not meshed well this season. I know that his offensive woes don’t pair well with the Edwards and Jarrett Culver, who are shooting a combined 38% from the floor. I know that if this Wolves team has any hope of turning this season around, he has got to play better. 重點節錄:盧必須努力回復身手，才能拯救灰狼。 We won’t see Rubio play again until the miniseries against the Golden State Warriors next week due to health and safety protocols. Here’s hoping the NBA takes a hiatus before then for all its players and their families’ health and safety. 重點節錄:盧目前因為健康因素隔離中，可能要下周打勇士才能上場，祝福他健康安全回 歸!! 心得:確實本季盧的速度慢很多，是否真的是肺炎的後遺症(希望不要) 也有可能是心理因素，畢竟被交易真的很傷。 --
