: Knicks face huge challenge on offense
尼克進攻面臨巨大挑戰
: http://ppt.cc/sM,e
: You could see the story playing out in advance before Knicks coach Mike D’
: Antoni re-inserted Carmelo Anthony and Jeremy Lin for Josh Harrellson and
: Baron Davis with 3:57 left Tuesday in Dallas after a motley mix of bench
: players and one starter (Amar’e Stoudemire) had cut the Mavericks’ 14-point
: fourth-quarter lead to two. You knew that when Dallas made its run, almost
: mathematically inevitable, a pseudo-controversy would spring up over whether D
: ’Antoni should have left “the bench” in, and whether the Anthony/Lin
: pairing is doomed.
對達拉斯一戰最後的3:57，四板凳加上一先發的拼裝陣容將小牛第四節一度14分的
領先追到剩兩分後，冷笑話重新擺上了瓜林煥下BD和JH，你可以預見故事將怎麼演完。
你知道當小牛掀起一波數學上幾乎無可避免的高潮時，一場內心戲將在冷笑話上演，
是不是應該讓「板凳」繼續打，和瓜林配是不是沒搞頭了。
: You knew this would be so even though the hero of the bench, Steve Novak,
: remained on the court for another 90 seconds as the Mavs scored eight
: straight points to basically clinch the game. You knew the ensuing
: controversy, fueled by Anthony’s postgame comments about his changing role,
: would (in some corners) be devoid of the complicated context within which it
: actually exists.
你知道他有多掙扎，儘管板凳英雄諾娃在小牛90秒內連拿八分底定比賽時仍在場上。
你知道這個，被甜瓜提到改變腳色的賽後訪談炒得更大的衝突，將會比他實際上
存在的還要更複雜。
: Anthony's postgame comments: http://ppt.cc/M0OU
: Some of that context:
: ‧ The Knicks’ blissful Linsanity stretch — eight games in which Anthony
: essentially didn’t play because of injury — featured a schedule filled with
: lottery teams and home games. The schedule has gotten slightly more
: challenging and road-heavy since then, and New York has predictably struggled.
尼克的快樂林日子 - 八場甜瓜因傷缺席的比賽 - 特色是樂透球隊和主場比賽。之後
賽程表就會變的更有挑戰和很多客場，而紐約一如預期陷入困境。
: ‧ During the non-Anthony portion of Linsanity, the Knicks scored 100.85
: points per 100 possessions, according to Hoopdata. That would rank about 14th
: in the NBA. The Knicks, in other words, played average offense against a weak
: schedule with Lin as the offensive centerpiece.
根據hoopdata，沒瓜的林系統尼克在100次進攻機會可以拿100.85分，
在聯盟中排１４名。也就是說在軟賽程和林擔當主軸時，尼克的進攻也只是一般般。
: according to Hoopdata: http://www.hoopdata.com/teamgl.aspx?team=NYK
: During those same eight games, against that same weak schedule and with the
: same depleted roster, New York allowed 93.7 points per 100 possessions. That
: would be the stingiest mark in the league over the full season.
: In simple terms: The Knicks’ defense was the driving force of their success
: during Lin’s emergence. This is not ground-breaking. I’ve written it more
: than once, as have other NBA analysts. If you think New York played 2006-07
: Suns-level offense while Anthony and Stoudemire sat and Lin became a star,
: you are ignoring reality.
一樣的八場比賽，面對一樣的軟賽程和空蕩蕩的輪值表，尼克僅容許對手在100次進攻
中拿到93.7分。以整季表現而言可說是最吝嗇的球隊。簡言之，林爆發的那段成功推動力
來自於他們的防守。這可不是大新聞，我早寫過不只一次，還有其他分析家。如果你想
當瓜罵板凳中林又變明星，紐約就能打出06-07太陽等級的進攻，那你大概忽略了現實。
: ‧ Since Anthony’s return on Feb. 20, the Knicks have averaged 99.2 points
: per 100 possessions in six games, a tiny sample size, per Hoopdata. That is
: below the league’s average, about 1.5 points per 100 possessions worse than
: what New York did with Lin/without Anthony. The offense has indeed regressed,
: but that gap is the equivalent of dropping about four or five spots in the
: points-per-possession rankings. It’s meaningful, but not huge, and it’s not
: unexpected given the more difficult recent schedule and — this is important
: — how crummy New York’s offense was before Lin’s breakout.
自從瓜哥二月二十回來，六場比賽尼克平均100個進攻機會拿99.2分，小樣本數據。
這比聯盟平均還低，比有林沒瓜還少了1.5分。進攻事實上回到原形，這差距等於在
得分/機會的排行少了四到五名。這有意義，但沒那麼巨大，在碰上更艱困的賽程來說
也非不可預期，尤其是如果你對林冒出頭之前紐約進攻的破爛還有印象的話。
: The Knicks ranked about 25th in points per possession before forces aligned
: to unleash Lin. They were average with Lin against a poor schedule. It should
: not be surprising that they are struggling now to instantly integrate all the
: disparate and new pieces and produce a decent offense.
尼克在解開林的封印前在p/p排第25名，在有了林和軟賽程時是一般般。當他們受困於得
一下子得整合所有零件，並造成進攻弱化時，你並不會感到驚訝。
>>請接力
: ‧ The defense has allowed 99.6 points per 100 possessions since Carmelo’s
: return, a better-than-average mark that nonetheless constitutes a major
: drop-off from the stingy number (93.7) that they allowed with Lin/without
: Anthony. In the long run, it’s probably a good sign, or at least not a bad
: one, that New York has been slightly better than average on defense in a
: relatively tough six-game stretch while re-integrating two subpar defenders
: in Anthony and Stoudemire.
: There is no question that the Knicks are flailing a bit in trying to fit a
: high-usage point guard with two of the highest-usage scorers in recent league
: history. They’ve had only six games to work at it so far! But the lineup
: numbers via an NBA.com stats database that the league has allowed a few
: writers to access show that the issues run much deeper than one player
: (Anthony) or one player pair (Anthony/Lin). What also becomes clear is the
: degree to which Lin has relied on Novak to succeed in running an
: above-average offense.
: The Knicks are indeed pretty bad with the Lin/Anthony pairing on the floor,
: according to NBA.com. New York has averaged 97.9 points per 100 possessions
: with Lin and Anthony together and allowed 102.4, both worse than its season
: averages. (Note: NBA.com uses a slightly different formula than Hoopdata to
: calculate the number of possessions in game, leading to lower
: points-per-possessions numbers. New York’s season average is 98.3 by this
: scale, so the Anthony/Lin mark of 97.9 is fairly close to that average.)
: With Lin and without Anthony, New York’s scoring jumps way up to 105 points
: per 100 possessions. That’s a bad sign.
: But the Knicks have scored at an even worse rate (97.2 points per 100
: possessions) with the Lin/Stoudemire pairing, per NBA.com. Before the shouts
: come about how Lin plays heavy minutes together with both players, take a
: look at New York’s full five-man lineup data. The lineups featuring Lin and
: Stoudemire, but not Anthony, that have played a decent number of minutes have
: all struggled offensively.
: five-man lineup data: http://ppt.cc/KGWr
: Even the Lin/Tyson Chandler pairing comes out with scoring numbers (98.4
: points per 100 possessions) right around New York’s average, something that
: might surprise you, given the obvious success of the pick-and-roll between
: those two players.
: The Lin/Anthony/Stoudemire trio has indeed been a disaster in 154 minutes.
: The Knicks have been outscored by nearly nine points per 100 possessions with
: those three on the floor, the worst scoring margin of any of the team’s 30
: trios that have logged at least 130 minutes together, per NBA.com. The
: offense with these three has scored at a slightly worse rate than when Lin is
: on the floor with Anthony or Stoudemire but not the other. That is another
: bad sign.
: A revealing little nugget that speaks to this trio’s issues: The Knicks have
: taken three-pointers on only 12 percent of their shot attempts with Lin,
: Anthony and Stoudemire on the floor. Only three trios among the hundreds that
: New York has played this season have relied less on three-pointers, and two
: of those trios have logged only 33 minutes combined. This speaks to a
: floor-spacing issue, which brings us to Novak.
: The Knicks are scoring an off-the-charts 116.9 points per 100 possessions
: with Lin and Novak on the floor together, and the only Lin lineups that have
: logged a decent chunk of minutes together and scored at an above-average rate
: all include Novak. Having an elite long-range shooter at power forward (or
: small forward, when two big men are in the game) obviously opens up the
: middle of floor more when New York runs the pick-and-roll. Anthony is a
: below-average three-point shooter for his career, and Stoudemire’s mid-range
: game has suffered this season. Both prefer receiving the ball near the elbows
: or on the wings, places from which it is easier for their defenders to sag
: down and clog the lane. This is why you often see one of them stationed in
: one of the corners on Lin/Chandler pick-and-roll plays.
: Having a scorer such as Stoudemire or Anthony standing in a corner is
: obviously not ideal. Everyone paying any attention at all knew it would take
: time for the Lin Knicks to jell once they reached full strength. Lin’s
: emergence as a heavy-minutes starter who dominated the ball amounted to a
: total remake of the team in the middle of a compressed schedule. Anthony and
: Stoudemire would have to find ways to work actively on the weak side —
: screening for each other or cutting backdoor along the baseline — as Lin
: and Chandler ran pick-and-rolls. New York would have to pick spots for
: Anthony to isolate in the post, and Lin and Stoudemire would have to discover
: at least a little pick-and-roll chemistry of their own. The Knicks would have
: to figure out how to keep the ball moving and the floor spaced.
: All of this is happening already, but the commitment, repetition and results
: have been inconsistent. The stars are feeling their way.
: Sometimes you have to point out the obvious: This is an enormous challenge.
: When the three-pointers are falling, it’s going to look so easy, as if the
: Knicks could thrive playing Novak 40 minutes per night and never using
: Anthony and Stoudemire together with Lin again. It would be a fascinating
: basketball experiment to see them try that, by the way. But in a conference
: topped by two superpowers, the Knicks must try to make the
: Lin/Chandler/Stoudemire/Anthony quartet work.
: That will take time, and it’s possible New York just won’t have enough of
: it this season because of the lack of practice. Those who expected instant
: elite offense missed how the Knicks were winning during the height of
: Linsanity and underestimated the challenges that players and coaches face
: going forward.
