[外電] Hedo Turkoglu struggling to find his …
PHOENIX — When the Phoenix Suns acquired Hedo Turkoglu, everybody knew he
would be a liability defending power forwards.
當太陽獲得火槍兵時,大家都知道他會是一個在防守上有點虛弱的大前鋒。
But the thinking went, “Sure, maybe he can’t guard many natural fours too
well, but how in the world will any natural fours defend him on the perimeter?
”
但是我們會這麼認為,"是阿,他或許對於守住那些傳統的蠻牛型力量大前鋒不是很有
辦法,但是換個角度那些傳統大塊頭又如何在半場進攻中守住他 ? "
Through three games only one of those assumptions has proven accurate. Hedo
has encountered his share of difficulty guarding the likes of LaMarcus
Aldridge and Lamar Odom, yet he has failed to take advantage of them on the
other end.
經過了三場比賽,只有一項假設被證明是對的。火槍兵確實遭遇在防守LaMarcus Aldridge
以及Lamar Odom上遭遇了很大的困難,同時另一方面,他也沒有在進攻上找回任何優勢。
Just as he was throughout the majority of preseason, Turkoglu has largely
been relegated to spot-up shooting with the occasional drive. He has picked
up five fouls in every game trying to defend bigger players and has failed to
make the opposition pay on the offensive end, averaging 9.3 points per game
on 40.9 percent shooting, with 64 percent of his scoring coming from beyond
the arc, to go with just two assists per game.
就像他在季前賽中主要的遭遇一樣,火槍兵大部分的時間只獲得了少量的轉移投射機會。
他在每場比賽都吞了五次犯規因為他必須防守那些那些大個子,同時他又沒有辦法在進攻
討回來,只有40.9%的命中率每場平均9.3分,而其中64%的比例是來自於弧頂,助攻也
僅僅只有每場2次。
“I have to be just aggressive more and more,” said Turkoglu, who is a
team-worst -13 in 80 minutes this season. “Sometimes we play pick and roll
and they kind of deny me. I have to do a better job of keep the spread floor
and try to get a better space and when I get the ball just try to be
aggressive. Sooner I’m going to feel more comfortable and hopefully play my
role in game.”
"我必須要更加、更加的有侵略性。"火槍兵,這位全隊正負值最差的男人說 - 在他
上場的80分鐘內,是負13。"有時候我們使用擋切時,這反而會阻擋到我。我必須在清開
場上空間以及拉開距離上做得更好,並在我接到球時試著更有侵略性。我很快的就會打的
更順暢並希望能夠打出屬於我的角色。
We have written quite a bit on this site about how Hakim Warrick seems to be
a better fit for the starting lineup and Turkoglu the bench, so no need to
regurgitate that argument in this space (although I still believe it). But
really, it doesn’t matter which unit Turkoglu plays with if he’s not “Hedo
Turkoglu,” the facilitating and sharpshooting point forward from Orlando
lore.
我們不需要做太多的著墨,關於瓦力比火槍兵更適合打先發大前鋒這個論點(即使作者
依舊這麼認為)。但事實上,當火槍兵在場上扮演的是角色不是那個 "強大、能致命跳投
,還能夠擔任場上催化劑的魔術隊控球前峰 "時,這也不重要了。
Gentry acknowledges that the Suns are going through “growing pains” in the
early going this season, which is only natural when you lose a piece like
Amare and then try to integrate three core guys.
金特力教頭承認目前的太陽正在經歷"成長痛",這也是很正常的,當你失去了尼克一哥
並試著重新將新加入的三個球員融合在一起時。
The adjustment is inherently much easier for Warrick and Childress — players
who were made for this system — than Turkoglu, who is being asked to play a
different position than he has his entire career.
對於瓦力和爆炸頭來說,適應這一切是相當簡單的 - 因為他們生來就屬於這個太陽系統
- 而火槍兵,則是被要求打一個與他前半段生涯截然不同的位置。
“I think with him he’s trying so hard to make sure he’s fitting in with
the guys,” Gentry said. “We don’t need for him to fit in, he’s fine. I
think he’s got to realize that this team right here is the most unselfish
team you’ll ever play on, so if you shoot the ball 20 times nobody really
cares. I think with Hedo he’s got to realize that, and I think as that
happens he’ll become much more aggressive.”
" 我認為火槍兵應該對於能不能適應這些隊友感到不確定。"金特力教頭說。"但是我們
並不需要他去適應,他非常好。我認為他只需要了解他所在的這個球隊是他待過的球隊
中最無私的一隊,這代表就算你拿球狂幹了20次,也沒人會認為這有什麼。我認為Hedo
只要能夠了解這點,他就會變得比現在更積極有侵略性。"
Although the thought of Hedo being green lighted for 20 shots scares me a
bit, Gentry’s absolutely right that he needs to be more aggressive. He must
be more than just an overpaid spot-up shooter, and he tried to do just that
on a few occasions taking the ball to the hole against the Lakers. As much as
he’s uncomfortable defending the post, he should be guarded by guys
unaccustomed to defending a playmaker on the perimeter.
即使讓火槍兵每場有權力能狂幹猛幹20次嚇到了我(作者),但是金特力教頭完完全全是
正確的,火槍兵需要展現出更多的攻擊力。他必須表現出更多,而不只是一個很貴的射手
(兩千萬?),就像他對抗湖人時,偶爾持球更久一樣。盡管他對於防守低位實在不太行,
他必須在另一方面成為一個對方也防不住的非正統鋒位。
“When I catch the ball sometimes I don’t have to settle on a jumper,”
Turkoglu said. “Like [Friday], I tried to do it, a few times I tried to
take it to the basket, take advantage of being guarded by the big guys. I
have to just keep trying to be aggressive and try to take it to the basket
and get some easy baskets or go to the free-throw line to help my rhythm
going.”
"當我持球時,有時候我不需要去做一個跳投。"火槍兵說。"就像星期五的比賽,我試著
去這麼做,有幾次我試著直接攻擊籃框(我有看到,不過似乎被蓋...),從防守我的那些
大塊頭身上找到一些優勢。我只是必須要試著更有侵略性,然後試著把球搞進籃框,完成
一些簡單的進球,或者製造犯規站上罰球線來幫助我維持節奏。
It’s easier to believe Hedo will figure things out on the offensive end than
the defensive end. He’s got the skills to fit this offense, he’s just going
through the adjustment period that so many Suns have had to experience before
eventually thriving in it.
去相信火槍兵在進攻的理解度上遠高過於防守是很容易的。事實上他有這樣的技巧去
適應進攻系統,他只是正在經歷一段調整期,就像許多之前的太陽隊員一樣,而最終
這些隊員都能夠發光發熱。
On the defensive end, it’s tougher to see him really finding success. The
Suns have frequently been forced to provide help, and Friday when he had the
main assignment on Lamar Odom, LO busted out an 18-17-5 line, which wasn’t
the slightest bit lucky.
而在防守方面,去相信他能夠成功是非常艱困的。即使他在防守Lamar Odom時其他隊員
不斷的提供協助,Lamar Odom最終還是拿下了18-17-5(得分-籃板-助攻)的數據,很明顯
這不只是一點運氣了。
“This is my first time I’m playing in this situation and I’m just trying
to do my best, and it’s just going to take times to learn that the things
that will help me to be in a better situation,” said Turkoglu, who has
grabbed just 3.3 boards per game despite banging in the post. “It’s just
those little things, I can’t let him really catch close to the basket. Those
things I have to be really smart against, some stronger guys, some bigger
guys.”
"這是我第一次打這樣的位置,面臨這樣的處境,我只是去試著盡我的全力,這一切
確實是需要時間來學習,然而這些都會幫助我打得更好。"火槍兵說,他每場比賽僅僅
抓下3.3個籃板,盡管他是處在低位。"這不過就是些小事,我不可能讓他更接近籃框那
樣賣命,那些事情來是交給那種真正的大個,壯漢去做吧。" (我猜是教練說的)
When asked whether he likes defending these bigger guys in the post, Turkoglu
said, ”Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don’t. It depends on the guy. If he’
s too big I don’t like it. Like I said, I don’t complain, I’ve just got to
do my best to help this team win games.”
當被問到他喜不喜歡在籃下防守這些蠻牛時,火槍兵回答"有時後喜歡,有時候不喜歡。
這一切都要看那個進攻者是誰,如果真的太大隻了那我就不喜歡。就像我說過的,我不會
抱怨,我只是試著盡我的全力來幫助球隊獲勝。
I suppose he has something in common with Shawn Marion and so many other
undersized fours in Phoenix who didn’t exactly always love defending bigger
post players, but unlike Marion he has thus far failed to make the opposition
pay at the end where he can hurt them.
我猜想他應該是像香妹或者太陽曾經有過的其它的矮個子大前鋒一樣不愛守大個子,不過
跟香妹不一樣的地方是,他比起香妹差得遠了,盡管他有能力去做出一些傷害。
Although the Suns as a whole are still getting comfortable with their new
rotations, the biggest question mark continues to be Hedo Turkoglu. He has
shown flashes of being a quality player in Phoenix, but he’s also gotten in
foul trouble too easily, failed to defend the post and acted largely as an
overpaid spot-up shooter.
盡管太陽目前對於他們的新輪替陣容還是感到很滿意,最大的問題還是在於火槍兵。
他能夠當一個很棒的球員,但是他噢很容易陷入到犯規麻煩,在低位防守上很弱,而且
打得像一個很貴的外線射手。(兩千萬再次出現?)
Three games is not long enough to deem the Hedo Turkoglu trade a bust, but it
will be if he doesn’t become the aggressive facilitator and crunch-time
scorer the Suns thought they were acquiring.
三場比賽並不能夠說明什麼,但是這很有可能會變成他最後的處境,如果火槍兵再不打的
積極、有侵略性,能組織比賽,並且提供太陽隊所需要的得分能量。
