Threat of Stephen Curry's half-court heaves helps Warriors win
Curry投進半場壓哨球的威脅有助於勇士贏球(?)
Ethan Sherwood StraussESPN Staff Writer http://tinyurl.com/j75ke39
The Golden State Warriors beat the Utah Jazz 115-94 in complete team effort,
the kind of game they hadn’t had in weeks.
For once, they didn’t need Stephen Curry to play spectacularly.
Amid the various contributions,
Curry delivered a relatively pedestrian stat line --
12 points, 10 assists, 4-of-12 shooting.
勇士以115比94擊敗爵士,這是許多個星期以來未曾見過的,一場完全屬於團隊的勝利。
終於,勇士不需要靠Curry的完美表現來贏球。
跟這場比賽眾多的得分點比起來,Curry只繳出了路人級的先發成績:
12分10助攻,且出手12次只命中4球。
That line belied his impact or, at least, the resonance of one particular
highlight. At the end of the half, with time running down, Trey Burke rushed
at Curry to prevent a half-court heave. Curry crossed him over, right to
left, then unleashed a 55-foot runner. Such shots are usually classified as “
prayers,” acts in need of supernatural assistance.
這個數據掩蓋了他的影響力,或者至少掩蓋了一個餘波盪漾的重點:
在半場即將結束時,爵士隊的Trey Burke衝向Curry,好阻礙他投出半場壓哨3分。
但是Curry左右晃了2下就閃過他,在距離籃框55英尺遠的地方投進3分球。
這種球通常只是"禱告",是需要超自然力量加持才能進的嘗試。

There’s no expectation you actually make this kind of shot.
That is, unless your name is Stephen Curry,
whose 50-foot bombs carry a dramatic pause as they fly
to the destination point. Naturally, the try banked in,
and Curry sprinted to the locker room.
“It was like when Bo Jackson ran out of the stadium,”
Warriors coach Steve Kerr appraised.
“I’m glad he came back for the second half.”
沒有人會期待你能進這種球,當然,除非你是Curry。
他從50英尺遠的地方送出的砲彈飛向籃框時,好像能夠讓時間停止一樣。
然後,球自然而然地進了,而Curry轉身衝向休息室。
Kerr對此讚賞地說:”那個時刻就像是以前Bo Jackson(美足跟棒球雙明星)
興奮地衝出球場一樣。我很高興Curry下半場有記得回來。”
Maybe nobody actually “expects” these shots to go in,
but they carry the suspense of an MLB slugger taking a cut:
A home run is unlikely, but likely enough to stoke fear in the opposition
and hope in the home crowd.
“When he shoots it, you know it has a chance,” Kerr said.
“I don’t know how many he’s hit so far this year, but it’s incredible.”
也許大家並不是真心認為Curry的半場壓哨球真的會進,
但是就像那些擅長全壘打的重砲手上場的時候一樣,
他們擊出全壘打的可能性已經足以讓對手害怕,也讓主場觀眾燃起希望。
Kerr繼續評論道:”當Curry投半場3分的時候,你就是知道他有機會進球。
我不知道他這個球季投進了多少半場3分,但每1次的進球都讓人難以置信。”
To answer Kerr’s question, Curry has hit 5-of-13 shots from beyond 39 feet,
good for 38.4 percent.
It’s not just notable that he’s making these buzzer heaves at this clip,
but that he’s taking them at all.
Curry has spoken of wanting a 50-40-90 season,
and these shots represent a threat to those percentages.
Field goal percentage protection is why
most stars avoid these shots completely.
For example, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook
have yet to attempt a shot beyond 39 feet.
讓我們來回答Kerr的問題:Curry這個球季從超過39英尺遠的地方出手13次,投進5球,
命中率是令人滿意的38.4%。
不過Curry會投進半場壓哨球並不是重點,他會選擇出手才是重點。
Curry曾經說過他這個球季的命中率目標是2分球5成、3分球4成、罰球9成,
投半場壓哨球肯定會威脅到這個目標。
很多球員為了維持自己的命中率數據,完全不會做出這種選擇。
比如說:LBJ、KD跟西河這個賽季就都沒有嘗試過半場壓哨球。
To be fair, this doesn’t make James, Durant, and Westbrook
different from much of the league.
In a 2013 USA Today article, a since-retired Shane Battier talked to
Sam Amick about the issue of buzzer-heave avoidance.
As Battier said, "It's not worth it. Even though statistically speaking,
it's a positive -- it's a plus-play [in terms of probabilities of success].
If you shot every buzzer-beater, you're going to make one out of --
whatever the odds are.”
LBJ、KD跟西河面對半場壓哨球的反應與聯盟的其他球員沒有不同。
2013年的今日美國有篇文章曾報導,
從那時起就退休了的球星Shane Battier對記者Sam Amick提過要避免投半場壓哨球。
Battier:”投半場壓哨球根本不值得,雖然統計上來說,進球率還是正的:
只要你一直投下去,無論機率多低,它總是能進的。”
Kerr admitted to having been one of those buzzer-heave avoiders
in his playing days.
“Yeah. I used to do that. Waited a little split second,
‘Oh, it was after the buzzer?’Ya, a lot of guys do that,
and that’s what makes Steph and his percentage so incredible.”
Kerr自己還是球員的時候,也是會避免投半場壓哨球的人。
Kerr:”喔對啊!我拿到球都會故意慢半拍再出手,然後裝傻說'蝦?時間過囉?'
(因為這樣就不納入命中率統計了顆顆)
很多人都會這樣做。所以Curry會出手,而且還有這種進球率真的令人難以置信。”
-->感謝BYANG大校對
Other stars have ceded this particular stage to Curry,
and he’s turning it into an event.
The anticipation is palpable as he tries to get one off at the buzzer.
As Kerr explained, “Steph doesn’t really care about the numbers,
which is great. He knows he’s got a chance to make, so he lets it fly.
He also knows it’s going to bring the house down when it goes in,
and it’s just electric when he does it.”
其他的球星把投半場壓哨球的舞台讓給Curry,而Curry把這個做成了1檔固定節目。
當他出手的時候,場上期待進球的意味總是相當濃厚。
Kerr補充道:”Curry其實不在意這會不會影響到他的命中率,他只是知道這是個機會,
然後就出手了,而且他也很清楚這球進了會讓全場瘋狂。
當他進球的時候,場上的氣氛好像有股電流通過一樣,火花四射。”
The atmospherics are sublime,
but the shot is starting to impact the game in tangible ways.
With 1.6 seconds left in the third quarter,
the Warriors leveraged the threat of a Curry half-court heave into two points.
進球當下的氣氛確實是美好無比,但是這些進球也開始在實質層面上影響比賽進行。
當第3節還剩下1.6秒的時候,勇士隊就利用了半場壓哨球的威脅,
來操作1個進2分球的機會。
Curry set up over 70 feet from the hoop,
with the Jazz fixated on his movements.
As Curry ran toward an inbounding Marreese Speights,
Leandro Barbosa snuck behind enemy lines.
Speights saw the opening and hit Barbosa in stride for a layup.
“I wasn’t going to throw it to Steph anyways,
because I knew they were going to guard him,” Speights said.
The center acted out the throwing motion,
with a summary: “Over the top. Great arc on it, seven [points].”
Curry當時處在離籃框還有70英尺的地方,而爵士的球員目不轉睛地盯著他的舉動。
當Curry開始跑向持球的Mo,Barbosa也趁機衝入無人防守的敵陣。
Mo看到了空檔,並把球傳給Barbosa進球。
這個舉動用1句話來形容就是:
”這個四分衛的長傳飛過大家的頭頂,弧線美妙,然後達陣!”
Mo事後則說:”我本來就沒有要把球給Curry,因為我很清楚對手會來防他。"
It sounds hyperbolic on its face,
but this might be unprecedented in NBA history.
A team is now using the credible threat of a half-court shot
to open up other opportunities.
Kerr described how Utah guarded Curry in the backcourt by saying,
“I’ve never seen it, but it makes sense, right?”
表面上看起來,這種戰術跟NBA的關聯像兩條平行線一樣沒有交集,
但是這可能是個NBA史上前所未見的戰術:
一個球隊居然可以利用半場壓哨球的威脅,來製造進球機會!
Kerr對於爵士球員從後場就開始跟防Curry的行為評論道:
”我從沒看過有人這樣做,可是這很合理嘛,對吧?”
It makes sense because Curry is doing things that don’t.
It makes sense because breaking convention is now a Curry convention.
從後場就要開始盯防Curry的行為會合理是因為,Curry正在做不合理的事。
從後場就要開始盯防Curry的行為會合理是因為,
打破NBA的慣例現在是Curry的慣例。

It’s perhaps unfair to devote so much focus to one man’s shot
on an evening where so many of his teammates delivered.
Draymond Green (17 points, seven rebounds, five assists;
and defended Rudy Gobert for stretches)
and Klay Thompson (9-of-14 for 23 points) were especially sharp.
At the same time, Curry’s half-court habit speaks to
an unselfishness that informs how this team plays.
So taking that shot might depress his percentages?
It's a small price to pay when the payoff is so much joy.
不過在今晚,當這麼多的隊友都做出貢獻的時候,只有關注一個人的進球並不公平:
Green跟KT的表現都非常致命。
這時,Curry的半場壓哨球只不過是證明了勇士無私的球風:
影響我的命中率又怎樣?只要能夠激勵士氣,這點代價不算什麼。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
因為Curry昨天沒有受訪,所以我相信結尾那句話絕對不是他講的XD
不過就算受訪,Curry應該也不會這麼說啦!
是說文章我來選怕會不合大家胃口,大家有空也來一起翻譯或推薦吧!
