鵜鶘的目標是要最大限度地發揮Derrick Favors還有湖人三小將的優勢 Pelicans’ goal is to maximize strengths of Derrick Favors, trio of additions from Lakers https://www.nba.com/pelicans/news/pelicans-goal-maximize-strengths-derrick- favors-trio-additions-lakers https://tinyurl.com/yy53yvpn by Jim Eichenhofer Posted: Jul 16, 2019 每位功成名就的NBA球員都會為球隊帶來一系列技能，但在很多情況下，讓球隊成功或是失敗的原因卻是如何在球場上將他們組合在一起。無論個人還是群體，不能充分發揮每個球員的能力往往會導致潛力無法兌現。 Every accomplished NBA player brings a set of skills to a roster, but in many cases, what makes or breaks a team’s success is how its pieces fit together on the court. Failure to get the most out of each player often leads to unfulfilled potential, both individually and collectively. 當紐奧良在周二的新聞發布會上介紹了新加入的球員Derrick Favors、Lonzo Ball、 Josh Hart與Brandon Ingram時，大部分焦點都集中在鵜鶘要如何才能夠最大限度地發揮這四人的效果。紐奧良鵜鶘隊副總裁David Griffin在星期二的媒體見面會上，花了一些時間來闡述這四個球員在適應新城市與球隊之後，可能因此受益的理由： When New Orleans introduced veteran additions Derrick Favors, Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart and Brandon Ingram at a Tuesday press conference, much of the focus was on how the Pelicans can best maximize what that quartet does best. New Orleans Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations David Griffin spent portions of Tuesday’s media session breaking down what could benefit the four players as they adjust to a new city and franchise: Derrick Favors 由於Jazz中鋒Rudy Gobert 的出現，有著9年選手職涯的Favors基於球隊需求，更多時候出任猶他爵士大前鋒的位置。隨著NBA轉而更加依賴可以從外圍構成威脅的“延伸四號” ，對於Favors而言儘管他是一名出色的阻攻手（在2018-19的NBA賽季中以每分鐘一次而排在第10名），這意味著他在防守端將遠離油漆區。對於這位喬治亞理工學院出身的球員還得考慮上場時間被縮減的因素；例如，即使他上個賽季先發70場，但是他場均只有上場 23.2分鐘。 A nine-year pro, out of necessity Favors was frequently forced to play a bit out of position in Utah at power forward, due to the emergence of Jazz center Rudy Gobert. With the NBA shifting to a much heavier reliance on “stretch fours” who can do damage from the perimeter, for Favors that meant moving away from the paint defensively, even though he’s an excellent shot-blocker (10th in NBA in blocks per minute in 2018-19). It also factored into the Georgia Tech product seeing a reduction in playing time; for example, even though he started 70 times last season, he only averaged 23.2 minutes per game. Griffin說：“他可能最適合擔任中鋒的位置，他可能是聯盟中最好的五個中鋒之一”。這讓你很難擔任在原本應該打的位置，所以他被要求在四號位置上打出很多時間。很多 Derrick的比賽可能都沒有被重用，特別是在進攻端上。我知道（Alvin）Gentry教練會很高興看到他全職為我們打中鋒。我們為他提供了一個全新的機會 “。 “He’s probably best suited as a center, and he was playing behind one of probably the best five centers in the league,” Griffin said. “That makes it hard to play the position that you probably should play, so he was asked to play out of position a lot, at the four. A lot of Derrick’s game was probably left untouched, particularly offensively. I know Coach (Alvin) Gentry is excited about what he’ll look like playing center on a full-time basis for us. We represent a new opportunity for him.” Lonzo Ball 這位來自加州大學洛杉磯分校兩年職涯的選手，在18-19賽季中的主要統計數據幾乎全面下滑，其中包括從新秀的場均7.2次助攻掉到5.4。然而，由於他的上場時間也比較少（新秀的平均時間為34.2，而第二年為30.3），這應該不會令人太驚訝。仔細觀察他的每分鐘數據表，說明隨著他在17-18賽季的比賽中打了更多的無球狀態，他在洛杉磯進攻上的角色和任務分貝也發生了變化。在每36分鐘內，他從10.7分上升到11.8分，但是他的助攻從 7.6下降到6.5次。而在紐奧良和Gentry的進攻體系中，這位21歲的球員將會更像一名純控球後衛。先前的傳球優先球員Ish Smith與Tim Frazier，都曾在新月城恢復了NBA職業生涯水平，而Rajon Rondo更是幫助鵜鶘隊在十年內衝進首次季後賽。 The two-year pro from UCLA saw a drop in his major statistics virtually across the board in ’18-19, including going from an average of 7.2 assists per game as a rookie to 5.4. However, since he also logged fewer minutes (34.2 average as a rookie to 30.3 in Year 2), that shouldn’t be overly surprising. A closer look at his per-minute stats demonstrates that his role and job description also changed in the Los Angeles offense, with him playing off the ball more than he did in ’17-18. Per 36 minutes, he went from 10.7 points to 11.8 points, but his assists dipped from 7.6 to 6.5. With New Orleans and in Gentry’s offensive system, the 21-year-old figures to be more of a pure lead guard. Previous pass-first PGs such as Ish Smith and Tim Frazier have revived their NBA careers in the Crescent City, while Rajon Rondo helped the Pelicans win their first playoff series in a decade. 此外，Ball與Jrue Holiday的防守後場組合也令人非常興奮，他們在過去的兩個賽季中都曾被提名為NBA全聯盟防守隊。Ball在18-19賽季（47場比賽）並未符合此項榮耀的提名資格，但他也是控球後衛中每分鐘第三好的籃板手（ESPN.com資料），僅次於Russell Westbrook與Ben Simmons）。 Additionally, there is considerable excitement about the defensive backcourt of Ball and Jrue Holiday, who’s been named to an NBA All-Defense squad each of the past two seasons. Ball (47 games) didn’t play enough to qualify for the category in ’18-19, but he was also the third-best rebounder among point guards on a per-minute basis (via ESPN.com), behind only Russell Westbrook and Ben Simmons). Griffin說：“我們有機會在防守上保持特別的優勢”。“Lonzo是一真正特別的防守後衛。他也是一名特別的籃板後衛。這讓我們能夠以他從前無法做到的方式發起快攻，並發揮他的許多優勢“。 “We have a chance to be special good on that side of the ball (defensively), ” Griffin said. “Lonzo is a truly special defensive guard. He’s also a special rebounding guard. That’s going us to enable us to start our (fast) break, and play to a lot of his strengths, in a way perhaps he wasn’t able to play to before.” Brandon Ingram Griffin比較了他對於Ingram潛力的熱情，對於他的未來之看法，以及他對Ball的預測。 Ingram在上個賽季就在他似乎達到一名球員的另一個水平，卻因為他右手臂血栓而缺陣之前，於2月/3月締造了他職業生涯中迄今表現最好的一段時期。Ingram（過去兩年的例行賽出賽111場比賽）與Ball（99場）都可以看到他們的進步因受傷而略有減緩，但鵜鶘隊認為這對21歲的球員可以得到更多的改善。 compared the enthusiasm he has for’s potential, as well as his vision for his future, to his projections for Ball. Ingram compiled the best stretch of his career in February/March of last season prior to being sidelined due to blood clots in his right arm, just when he seemed to be reaching another level as a player. Both Ingram (111 games over past two regular seasons) and (99) have seen their progress slowed a bit by injuries, but the Pelicans believe so much more improvement is possible for the pair of 21-year-olds. “我們同樣認為Brandon可以做一些他以前沒有機會做的事情”， Griffin非常輕鬆地談及這位前鋒的到來。“Lonzo和Brandon都在傷病方面上遇到了一些問題，這在某些程度上破壞了他們在職業生涯早期所獲得的聲勢。他們是如此年輕且如此的有才華，並備受期待，每個人都希望這些期望趕快兌現。我們卻不希望它太快發生；我們希望它在適當的時間發生“。 “We feel very similarly about Brandon getting to do some things that he wasn ’t getting the opportunity to do,” Griffin said of the forward’s arrival in the Big Easy. “Both Lonzo and Brandon have had issues along the way with injuries, which have somewhat derailed the momentum they would’ve gained early in their careers. They are so young and so talented, that so much was expected, and everybody wants it to happen so quickly. We don’t want it to happen quickly; we want it to happen at the right time.” Griffin補充說，“我們知道我們將會發揮整個團隊的優勢。每個人都將意識到這對於我們所有人來說，都是一個特殊的機會。我認為這對我們來說是一個很大的課題，也是我們在整個字球球員市場中所做的一切，還有我們能夠得到的其他事物“。 Griffin added, “We know that we’re going to play to the strengths of the group as a whole. Everyone was aware of the fact that this was a special opportunity for all of us in terms of fit. I think it’s a big theme for us and everything we tried to do throughout the free-agency process as well, and with the other acquisitions we were able to make.” Josh Hart 維拉諾瓦出品的後衛是湖人的穩定替補與角色球員，但Griffin認為Hart可以拓展他的比賽並為紐奧良做出更大的貢獻。 The Villanova product was a steady reserve and role player for the Lakers, but believes there are areas in which can expand his game and make even greater contributions with New Orleans. “他跟Brandon非常類似，我們認為他有尚有一些仍未開發的優勢”，Griffin說。“ Brandon是優秀的組織者並具備長時間運動型後衛的能力，讓他能夠擔任多個位置。我們覺得Josh可以做同樣的事情，並且他可以在球場上的多個位置製造投射機會，這對我們來說很棒（因為）它可以為Alvin帶來更多變化 “。 “Very similar to Brandon, we think he has some really untouched upside,” said. “’s ability as an elite playmaker and long, athletic defender is going to allow him to play multiple positions. We feel like Josh can do the same thing, and he’s a shot-maker from multiple positons on the court, which is great for us (because) it’s going to give Alvin a great deal of versatility.” 哈特在湖人隊的471次三分球出手中的命中率為36.1％，其中包括新秀年的39.6％。依據湖人隊的電視隨隊記者Mike Trudell的說法，他上賽季的準確性下降至少部分是與傷病有關；Hart在10月、11月與12月的遠距離投射命中率至少達到37.5％，但是從1月1日起卻僅有26/103，直到3月下旬因傷退出。 Hart shot 36.1 percent from three-point range in 471 attempts with the Lakers, including 39.6 percent as a rookie. According to Lakers TV sideline reporter Mike Trudell, at least part of his decrease in accuracy last season was injury-related; shot at least 37.5 percent from distance in October, November and December, but was just 26/103 from Jan. 1 until he was shut down due to injury in late March. Griffin強調紐奧良認為所有的這四名球員都是非常適合陣型 - 這種感覺是相互的。 Griffin emphasized that New Orleans believes all four players were excellent fits based on the roster – and that the feeling is mutual. “When you look at the situation the organization was in, as we tried to build this completely different culture, having players who are equally committed to us is very meaningful,” Griffin said. “Derrick Favors could’ ve chosen to go almost anywhere, and Utah was going to accommodate that (in any trade), out of respect for everything Derrick had done there. He chose us. These gentlemen from the Lakers, they were going to be in demand in a lot of places, and they recognized the fit with us. They recognized the fit with Jrue Holiday. I think that’s a special, meaningful thing as we start to build from here.” “當你看到球團組織所處的情況時，在我們試圖建立完全不同的文化時，擁有與我們致力於同樣目標的球員是非常有意義的”， Griffin說。“Derrick Favors幾乎可以選擇去任何地方，而且猶他出於對Derrick在那裡所做的一切的尊重，都將會配合（不論是哪種交易）。他選擇了我們。來自湖人隊的這些先生們，他們在很多地方都將受到歡迎，他們也認同我們的契合度。他們認同與Jrue Holiday的契合度。我認為這是一個特殊的、富有意義的事情，因為我們從這裡開始重新構建一支隊伍“。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 118.163.41.74 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Pelicans/M.1563358180.A.36C.html
