[外電] Ailene Voisin: Martin-Evans backcour …
http://www.sacbee.com/kings/story/2492275.html
Everyone has problems. We get that. Because of the battered economy, many of
my colleagues have lost a steady income. Some of my acquaintances have lost
their homes. More than a few have lost their marriages.
最近大家都頗雖小。
因為大環境的不景氣,我有許多同事失去了穩定的收入,
有的熟人失去了家園,有些人甚至失去了他們的婚姻
So assuming that none of these dire circumstances apply to Kevin Martin, what
happened to turn the Kings shooting guard/good citizen/good guy into a
sullen, slumping shell of himself? His features are frozen. His voice is
flat. His body language is that of a guy who was just dumped by his fiancée,
or worse, by his fiancée who plans to marry his best friend.
來假設一下,以上那些悲慘的外在因素並沒有發生在KM身上
那麼,到底是發生了什麼事情?
居然讓這位得分後衛、好公民、好人,變得悶悶不樂又低落的樣子?
他的面孔毫無表情,聲音平板沒有起伏
肢體動作看起來像是被未婚妻給甩掉的傢伙,或者更糟糕
Let's be clear here. Martin is an established, efficient NBA scorer who is
extremely well-compensated, and for that reason alone, his demeanor these
past two weeks is immensely disappointing. Fortunately for the Kings – and
his career – he seemed more like his former self Tuesday night against the
depleted Golden State Warriors. He ran the floor, cut fast and hard, played
with energy, played with passion, did most things well except convert his
rusty outside shot. He scored only five points on 1-of-9 shooting.
讓我們說得清楚一點
Martin 是NBA裡穩定且有效率的得分手
單就這個原因,他過去兩星期的表現是讓人極度失望的
幸運的是 — 不管對國王或者對他的事業而言
星期二晚上對上金州勇士的比賽,以前的Martin似乎又回來了
他滿場跑,切入又快又狠,表現充滿活力與激情
他大致上做得很好,除了依然沒有改善的生鏽外線
投9中1僅得5分
But let's be clear about this, too. There are plenty of other factors/players
contributing to the current Kings' woes, a potentially explosive, protracted
dilemma that rests uncomfortably on Paul Westphal's lap. Indeed. Martin, 26,
is far from the only unhappy King, and to suggest that his presence is the
source of the skid is rooted in fiction, not fact. The chemistry was just as
lousy while the sixth-year veteran was on the bench in street clothes,
nursing his fractured left wrist.
不過這裡還要再講清楚
還有其他的因素與球員導致了整個國王的苦難
這隱藏的不定時炸彈正困擾著西佛
Martin並不是唯一一個不開心的國王人
把國王打不順的原因歸咎於他是不切實際的
當這位六年級老鳥在板凳上養傷的時候
球隊的化學效應還是一樣的糟糕
What is becoming increasingly apparent, however, is that the Martin-Tyreke
Evans backcourt experiment is destined for a short lifespan because someone –
someone – has to facilitate an offense that involves other players and, at
least on occasion, resembles a sprint instead of a 24-second jog. For
whatever reason, it isn't happening.
事實已經日益明顯
Martin-TE 的後場組合試驗註定要短命
因為必須有個人來策動讓全員參與的攻勢
而且,至少要像一次短暫的衝刺,而不是24秒的慢跑
不管是什麼原因,它並沒有發生
Two guards. One ball. No playmaker. Some of this makes a certain sense.
兩名後衛,一顆皮球,沒有主控球員
這就是我們看到的狀況
Martin, as we also know, is not a proficient enough ballhandler/passer to
play the point. Evans, as we are learning, is a marvelous rookie, and yet
another of Geoff Petrie's brilliant draft picks. But at this early stage of
Evans' career, the youngster displays neither the instinct nor the
inclination to direct an offense.
Martin如同我們所知道的,在戰術執行中並不是一個專業的持球、傳球者
Evans是個讓正我們驚豔的新秀,但他還不是派崔另一次高明的選秀
在Evans 的職業前期,這個年輕人並沒有表現出本能或傾向去指揮一次進攻
As he quietly and candidly reiterates when asked to describe his mentality,
he is a scorer masquerading as a point guard. What he really wants to do is
drive the ball to the rim at every possible opportunity. Accordingly, and
along with the startling defensive slippage, we have seen too much of this
lately: Evans on a two-on-one break, refusing to pass ahead to an open
teammate. Isolation plays that leave four teammates standing around, staring
at space. The bigs receiving the ball late, out of rhythm, or not at all. The
shooters launching hasty, off-balance shots because of increasingly
infrequent opportunities in a dribble-penetration, guard-dominant offense.
The wings wasting their breath and their legs in transition.
當請他形容自己心態時,他低調且坦率的重申:
他是個偽裝成控球後衛的得分手
他想要在所有可能的機會裡把球塞進籃框
好吧,我們已經看到太多這種鳥情況:
Evans發動2打1的快攻,但是拒絕傳給另外一個有空檔的隊友
單打獨鬥讓其他四個隊友在周圍站著對空發呆
大個們接到球要嘛拖太晚,要嘛就是毫無節奏,要嘛根本就沒有球
運球突破與後衛主導的進攻壓縮了射手們的空間
越來越少的選擇讓他們只能在失去平衡的情況下倉促出手
兩翼的體力正浪費在跑位上
In essence, the Kings' roster is a rebuilding, incomplete assemblage of
intriguing young talent, but not a complete team in any sense. The only way
to compete in the interim is to establish a scrappy, defensive identity, play
faster and capitalize on easy (transition) opportunities and resist the
infectious urge for one-on-one play. Martin and rookie Omri Casspi, in
particular, are receivers, dependent upon others to distribute and deliver
the ball. And since Petrie is a patient man, telling me again Tuesday that
the Martin/Evans pairing will be evaluated extensively before trade scenarios
are even discussed, Westphal probably has the remainder of the season to
tinker with various combinations.
國王的陣容有著未開發完的誘人的年輕天賦
但從任何角度看都還不是一支健全的球隊
要在這段過渡期競爭,唯一的辦法就是建立起凶狠防守的特質
打得更快一點,跑出更好的進攻空檔
還要克服"集體單打躁鬱症"
特別是KM與卡卡,他們兩個是接球者
但這需要依賴其他隊員的分球傳導
大家都知道派崔是個很有耐心的傢伙
如果你說交易案八字都還沒一撇
KM與TE的搭配卻在星期二被提出來考慮?
我看根本只是西佛想在剩下的球季試試其他組合
What about Beno Udrih or even the jumpy Sergio Rodríguez at the point, with
Martin and Evans at the two-three positions? Revisiting the Rick Adelman/Pete
Carril offensive sets that utilize Spencer Hawes' superior passing skills in
the high post? What about something – anything – that enhances ball
movement, generates fast breaks and eliminates the excessive dribbling?
這樣擺如何?Beno與S-Rod雙控球,Martin和Evans放2-3號位?
重啟Adleman和Coachie的戰術,利用阿屁優秀的傳球能力在高位策應怎麼樣?
反正不管用什麼方法,增加球的流動、製造快攻還有減少無謂的運球
And Martin? He's young, rich and talented. He was the Kings' scoring star
long before Evans arrived. Maybe he forgot, but we didn't.
至於Martin? 他還年輕而且很有天賦
遠在Evans來之前他就是我們的得分明星
或許他忘記了,但我們可沒有

我討厭這個作者
每次都寫寫一堆,翻得好辛苦= =
尤其今天早上發戰文正在沒梗,又想忠於原文
結果就是語氣生硬
該死的Ailene Voisin 我恨你
我再也不翻你的外電了(泣)
