[外電] 休息過後:尼克下半季的五看點
After the break: 5 things to watch
By Ian Begley | ESPNNewYork.com
The Knicks are 32-18 entering the All-Star break, sitting comfortably atop
the Atlantic Division. They’re on pace for 52 wins, a number they haven’t
reached since 1996-97. But things are far from perfect at 2 Penn Plaza.
尼克以32-18的戰績進入了全明星假期,在大西洋賽區穩居第一。他們在向著52勝的目標
前進,這可是自從1996-97賽季以後尼克從未達到過的數字。但是事情遠遠沒有2 Penn
Plaza看起來那麼完美。
Since Dec. 15, New York is just two games over .500. The club has lost three
of four heading into the break. As a result, several troubling issues have
emerged. And if the Knicks want to be playing at the end of June, those
issues need to be addressed in the second half of the season.
自從12月15號以來,尼克只有兩場比賽超過.500.在進入假期前的四場比賽中,這支隊伍
輸掉了三場。一些重要的問題因為這些失敗暴露了出來。如果尼克想在6月底還沒有去釣
魚,那麼這些問題必須在下半賽季中得到解決。
Below, we take a look at five things the Knicks need to keep an eye on in the
final 32 games of the season:
下面,我們就來看看,在剩下的32場比賽中尼克需要面對的5件事
1. THEIR DEFENSE
1.他們的防守
In the first nine games of the season, the Knicks played near flawless
defense. They ranked fourth in defensive rating (points allowed per 100
possessions) and sixth in opponent field goal percentage en route to an 8-1
start. Since then, they’ve ranked 19th in defensive rating and 22nd in
opponent field-goal percentage (46.3 percent).
在賽季的最初9場比賽中,尼克展現了幾乎完美的防守。他們在防守上名列聯盟第四,在
限制對手得分上列第6。從那以後,他們在防守上的排名掉到了19,而在限制對手得分上
則掉到了聯盟22 (46.4%)
Not pretty.
這可不怎麼樣
Mike Woodson said fine-tuning the Knicks' D will be his top priority in the
second half.
武僧說找回尼克的防守在他的下半賽季工作中是重中之重。
“That’s going to be the focal point coming back after the break,” Woodson
said.
武僧說:「那將是全明星結束後最重要的焦點所在。」
2. SHUMPERT'S PLAY
2.香波的表現
Second-year guard Iman Shumpert just hasn’t been himself since coming back
from ACL surgery on Jan. 17. Of course, it’s understandable Shumpert would
be a step slow: He spent eight months rehabbing after surgery.
自從1月17號從ACL手術中復原歸來,二年級的香波還沒有找回自己。當然,這個完全可以
理解,香波花了8個月才從手術中康復。
Still, Shumpert was viewed as a cure to the Knicks' shortcomings on defense,
particularly on the perimeter and against the pick-and-roll. That hasn’t
happened. The Knicks have been routinely torched by point guards in games
before the break (see Holiday, Jrue and Teague, Jeff for two examples).
但是,香波被看作治療尼克防守短板的一劑良藥,特別是在外線防守和對抗跑轟戰術的時
候。這個期待我們還沒有看到。在全明星休息之前,尼克還是經常被對方的控衛爆虐。(
舉例Holiday-Jrue and Teague-Jeff )
What does Woodson want to see from Shumpert in the second half?
武僧在下半個賽季想看到怎樣的香波?
“Play defense. Rebound the basketball and do some dirty work,” the coach
said.
武僧說:「防守,籃板和一些髒活。」
3. LINEUP SHIFT?
3.陣容輪換?
In order to jump-start the Knicks on defense, Woodson many opt to moveRonnie
Brewer to the starting lineup and shift Jason Kidd to the bench.
為了發動尼克的防守端,武僧很有可能讓小酒替換老基,回到先發陣容當中。
Putting Brewer in the starting five would give Woody two strong perimeter
defenders on the floor to start the game.
讓小酒作為先發第五人出戰將會為尼克的先發陣容帶來兩個強壯的外線防守隊員。
The potential problem: Brewer has struggled to make shots. In order to start,
Brewer needs to knock down the open shot. That’s something Kidd has
struggled with lately. The 39-year-old was scoreless in 32 minutes on
Wednesday night and is averaging just 2.6 points in 26 minutes per game over
his past five outings. Yikes.
但是潛在的問題是:小酒在投籃命中問題上一直很掙扎。要想先發,小酒需要能夠命中空
檔的投籃。老基在上半個賽季晚些時候也面對這個問題。這位39歲的老將在星期三晚上的
比賽中32分鐘一分未得,在最後5場比賽中場均出場26分鐘,得分只有2.6分。
Said Woodson: “He’s missed some good shots here as of late, some really
open shots. He’ll make them eventually.”
武僧說:「他(老基)在後期投丟了一些球,其中一些真的是完全空檔的球。但是,他最終
會找回自己的。」
4. INJURIES TO OLD GUYS
4.老將的傷病
With Rasheed Wallace and Marcus Camby out, the Knicks have had a tough time
guarding the paint when Tyson Chandler's on the bench.
隨著阿北和老坎比的傷退,尼克在拳王輪換的時候,在內線防守上顯得很艱難。
When Chandler’s on the floor, the Knicks' rebounding rate, or percentage of
missed shots rebounded, is 44.8. When he’s off the floor, it falls to 40.6.
當拳王在場上時,尼克的籃板率是44.8% ,在他不在場上的時候,跌落到40.6%.
With Chandler out there, the Knicks’ scoring differential per 100
possessions is +7.6. When he’s off the floor, the Knicks are being outscored
by two points per 100 possessions.
當拳王在場上時,尼克每100個回合贏對手7.6,當他不在場上的時候,每100個回合,被對
手反超2分。
With Wallace (stress reaction in left foot) and Camby (left plantar fascia)
back, these numbers should even out a bit. Woodson expects Wallace to return
to practice after the break. Camby’s status is less certain.
當阿北(左腳應力反應)和老坎比(左蹠腱膜炎)回來的時候,這些數字可能會稍微均衡一些
。武僧希望阿北在全明星之後能夠重回訓練,而老坎比的情況則更加不確定。
When both are healthy, they should help Amar'e Stoudemire defend the paint
for the Knicks' second unit.
當他們都健康回歸的時候,他們能夠在第二替補更好的幫助阿罵保護好內線。
5. THE BEASTS OF THE EAST
5.東部的猛獸
Despite their recent struggles, the Knicks remain a confident bunch. From
Woodson on down, the team believes it has a legitimate shot to compete for an
NBA title.
儘管最近尼克表現掙扎,他們依然擁有不錯的優勢地位。從武僧開始,尼克上下都相信他
們競爭NBA冠軍的目標是合情合理的。
Yes, that means they think they can beat the Heat. Miami is red-hot of late,
going 8-2 in its past 10 games. And, oh by the way, Miami is led by the best
player on the planet playing the best basketball of his career. The Knicks
trail LeBron James and the Heat by 3 1/2 games in the Eastern Conference.
While keeping an eye on the Heat, the Knicks will also have to watch their
backs because they have a few teams creeping up behind them.
是的,那麼就意味著他們能夠擊敗邁阿密熱火。邁阿密在上半賽季結束之前異常火熱,在
最後的10場比賽中8勝2負。同時,順便說一句,邁阿密被這個星球最好的籃球運動員在他
最好的職業生涯時期引領著。尼克在東區落後喇叭領導的熱火3.5個勝場。當盯著熱火的
時候,尼克還需要注意身後,因為好幾個隊伍都緊緊跟隨尼克身後。
Central Division foes Chicago and Indiana are both within three games of the
Knicks and are awaiting the return of a marquee player in the second half
(for Chicago, it's Derrick Rose; Indy's waiting on Danny Granger). Brooklyn's
been up and down but is 2 1/2 games back of New York.
芝加哥和印第安納和尼克的差距都在3場之內,他們也都在期待著他們的重要球員回歸(公
牛的Derrick Rose ;印第安納的 Danny Granger ).布魯克林高低起伏不定,但是他們也
只落後2.5個勝場而已。
