Joe D’s summer to-do list includes 3-point solution
Getting younger and better up front figures to be the first priority of Joe
Dumars’ off-season. That issue has sat in the middle of the Pistons’ dinner
table all season and been discussed and analyzed ad nauseum with names like
Carlos Boozer, Chris Bosh and Amare Stoudemire in the mix.
更年輕的鋒線是首要任務:Booooozer, Amare?
But a close second has been discussed only peripherally: The Pistons need to
address their 3-point shooting this summer, too, after finishing in a tie for
26th with Utah in 3-point accuracy last season and in 28th in points
generated from behind the arc, ahead of only Philadelphia and Oklahoma City.
因為跟宅爵並列聯盟三分命中率第26名(三分線得分第28名),所以活塞的三分球也
是需要加油的項目。
The Pistons as we’ve known them in this generation were never a team that
leaned heavily on the 3-point shot, but they always used it efficiently. But
with Chauncey Billups departing and Rasheed Wallace aging, the character of
their offense changed this season.
雖然活塞本來就不主打三分球,但至少也都投得很關鍵而有效。不過在槍西離開而溪
蛙上了年紀之後,活塞的三分球就消失了。
Rip Hamilton is a solid 3-point shooter from the corners, but he’s not a
prolific deep shooter. The 190 he attempted this season, even though the 67
games he played were the fewest in his seven seasons as a Piston, were a
career high by 44 attempts. He still took less than three per game. And he’s
the definition of an average NBA 3-point shooter. Hamilton, a career .348
3-point shooter, connected on .368 from behind the arc this season; the
league average was .367.
Rip 的角落三分不錯,但他並不是個射手,就算今年只打了加入活塞後最少的67場比
賽,全年不過也丟了190 球,而且這個數字已經比以往多了44球(每場平均少於三個
)。
即使就命中率(.368)來說,他也不過剛好是個合格的射手(聯盟平均.367)而已。
Tayshaun Prince is an above-average 3-point shooter – he hit .397 this
season – but he hoists it even less than Hamilton with 1.7 attempts per game.
Contrast that with the seven per game taken by Orlando’s Rashard Lewis – a
power forward, no less.
Tay 稍好一點(.397),不過他每場只扔出1.7次。同位置的極致,魔術Lewis,每場
可以丟出七球。
As a team, the Pistons attempted 13.8 triples a game this season; the league
average was 18.1. The Pistons made an average of 4.6 triples a game; the
average NBA team made 6.65. That means the Pistons spotted the other team a
little more than six points a game from the arc this season, one in which
their per-game scoring differential was minus-0.5. And with the likelihood
that Wallace has played his last game for the Pistons, the urgency of their
3-point pursuit becomes greater. Wallace, though he played only 66 games,
took more triples than any other Piston by a margin of 129.
本季活塞平均每場三分線出手13.8球(聯盟平均18.1)中能投進4.6球(聯盟平均6.65
球),這代表著在三分線上活塞先讓了六分,最後得到平均得失分-0.5的結果。
如果溪蛙已經打完在活塞的最後一場球,那這個數字危機就更大,因為就算他只打了
66場比賽,溪蛙已經是比隊上第二名的球員在三分線外多出手了129次。
Here’s what Joe Dumars said about his team’s 3-point deficiency last week,
comments that came from Part III of the Q&A I did with him that will be
posted on Pistons.com on Tuesday:
美國時間星期二即將出爐的「Joe Dumars訪談第三集」將會揭露更多關於三分球的內
幕。
“I’m a fan of the 3-point shot. I like the 3-point shot. I like 3-point
shooters. They affect the momentum of the game. They allow you to get back in
games when you’re down. I just think it’s a huge weapon. I’m going to try
to address that this summer. I’m going to try to bring some guys in that can
knock down threes. That’s a weapon. I love the 3-point shot. I’m biased,
but I love the 3-point shot. That’s definitely a weapon we need to get
better at. Definitely.”
老喬:「我喜歡三分球,對於追分和氣勢都很重要,所以暑假我會想辦法找到射手。」
And, serendipitously, that roughly $20 million in cap space Dumars has at his
discretion this summer comes at a time the free-agent class – though not
teeming with All-Stars as the class of 2010 could be – is loaded with potent
3-point shooters.
今年暑假活塞有「一個Lewi$ 」的薪資額度,老喬可能今年就會砸下去,而不會留到
所謂的「2010」。
Four of the top 14 most prolific 3-point shooters last season and six of the
top 22 will be or could be free agents, if all exercise player options.
They are: Al Harrington (third, 470 attempts), Mike Bibby (seventh, 428), Ben
Gordon (eighth, 422), Jamal Crawford (14th, 394), Nate Robinson (17th, 385)
and Hedo Turkoglu (22nd, 376).
Harrington, Crawford and Turkoglu all have player options that could make
them free agents, while the other three are all hitting the market as
unrestricted free agents. The field doesn’t stop there, either, with other
3-point role-playing snipers like Eddie House (player option), Wally
Szczerbiak and Kyle Korver (player option) potentially up for grabs.
列出一些優秀射手(假設全部動用PO)
Al Harrington (PO) - 沒防守
Mike Bibby (UFA) - 同上
Ben Gordon (UFA) - 同上
Jamal Crawford (PO) - 同上
Nate Robinson (UFA) - 同上
Hedo Turkoglu (PO) - 同上
Eddie House (PO) - 同上
Wally Szczerbiak (PO) - 同上
Kyle Korver (PO) - 同上
What it means is that Dumars could use a combination of his cap space and
players on the roster now to upgrade both critical areas of need – his
frontcourt and his perimeter shooting.
兩千萬足夠讓老喬同時把前場和外線的需求一次滿足
(但很明顯的跟這些人一點關係都沒有)
It could well be that Dumars will dangle Hamilton and Prince – one, the
other or both – in trade talks with the three young big men: Boozer, Bosh
and Stoudemire. Of the three, Stoudemire seems the least likely to be in play
this summer. Phoenix shopped him aggressively at the trade deadline, then got
cold feet and pulled him back. But if the Suns can’t find a home for
Shaquille O’Neal in the last year of his $20 million contract, then Phoenix
might revisit the idea of trading Stoudemire for the chance to rebuild.
Rip和Tay都有可能被拿來當作禁區升級的商品,如Booooozer,龍王,和阿媽。
除非找不到地方倒掉俠客,否則三個人選當中以阿媽被交易的可能性最小(當然是跟
去年交易大限之前的他比起來)。
Boozer and Bosh are likelier to be moved.
Utah can plug Boozer’s void with a cheaper version in restricted free agent
Paul Millsap, a move that could keep the Jazz under the luxury-tax line while
remaining competitive and allowing them to re-sign both Korver and Mehmet
Okur, should they choose to opt out.
宅爵應該會留下RFA的豪華版Maxiell:Paul Millsap,才能保有簽下Korver 和Memo的
空間。
Toronto risks the probability of losing Bosh for nothing next summer if they
don’t move him first. It’s possible the Raptors will delay the decision
until the trade deadline on the hopes that they can improve enough this
summer to encourage Bosh to sign on long term. But that seems a long shot.
Prudence could motivate GM Bryan Colangelo to act now, when he would figure
to have a willing trade partner in Dumars.
暴龍不想明年才丟掉Bosh而換回來一堆空氣,所以暴龍應該盡可能在交易期限之前補
強,用來增加Bosh留下的有利條件(儘管很難)。
所以Bryan Colangelo(暴龍GM)很有可能趁現在好碰有Joe Dumars 還能幫忙的時候
盡早把Bosh丟出來。
Both Utah and Toronto figure to have high interest in Prince and, quite
possibly, in Hamilton.
幸好宅爵和暴龍看起來都對Rip和Tay有點興趣。
What acquiring either of those players via the trade route would mean for the
Pistons is that Dumars would still have all (or most, depending on how the
trades are structured) of his cap space in play to pursue perimeter free
agents.
倘若真的利用交易換來了這些前場球員,同時也代表著「一個Lewi$ 」的空間還能夠
做出其他用途,例如補強射手之類的。
Of the pending free-agent perimeter players, Bibby seems likely to return to
Atlanta and, as a point guard, would be unlikely to be a Pistons target;
Crawford would be hard-pressed in free agency to match the $19 million he has
coming over the next two seasons should he opt out; and Harrington and
Robinson’s 3-point numbers might be skewed by the Knicks’ unique offensive
system.
Bibby 應該會續留老鷹,Crawford跳脫的話將很難拿到超過未來兩年舊合約的錢,Al
Harrington和Nate好看的三分球數字其實要歸功於冷笑話的獨特系統比較多。
But Gordon and Turkoglu are intriguing. Obviously, signing one or both would
make more sense if the Pistons had ample playing time available for them –
which would mean a trade involving Hamilton or Prince for the young big man
would likely be a part of the equation.
Hedo和古蛋就有可能來了,而且交易出Rip和Tay的話同時也代表著清空兩個位置讓他
們打到爽。
If it’s Gordon in and Hamilton out, some of the concerns Chicago has had
about Gordon being undersized for a shooting guard would be lessened in
Detroit. If matchups dictate as much, Rodney Stuckey, at 6-foot-5, could
guard the opposition shooting guard in most instances and allow Gordon to
play defensive point guard.
若來的是古蛋,則有Rodney Stuckey給他靠(Stuckey來,這是Kobe Bryant和Ray Allen
,你們要相親相愛唷)。
If it’s Turkoglu in and Prince out, the Pistons would be giving something
away defensively but would be getting back a truly unique offensive player.
At 6-foot-10, Turkoglu is not only a proficient 3-point shooter – he’s a
.385 career shooter from the arc – but is dangerous off the dribble, too,
another area where the Pistons need help.
若來的是Hedo,代表活塞用防守交換進攻。Hedo有六呎十,能投外線還能持球進攻。
Gordon, of course, would be the easier get for the Pistons, first because he’
s certain to be a free agent and second because of his history of acrimonious
negotiations with Chicago. Turkoglu must first opt out, though he’s
indicated he’s leaning in that direction for long-term security, and then be
pried away from Orlando, where he’s happy and management would like to keep
him. But finances might force their separation; the Magic need to do some
maneuvering to avoid paying the luxury tax.
古蛋比較簡單,因為他和公牛互看不爽;在魔術過得很爽的Hedo就必須先跳脫,而且
他傾向於簽長約,魔術唯一捨棄他的原因大概就只剩下錢了。
Mix and match any of the combinations possible for Joe Dumars this summer and
it doesn’t seem terribly far-fetched that not only could he affect the type
of significant roster change he’s said he expects, but also that he could
address the Pistons’ biggest needs in doing so.
結論。Keith認為的兩個強化重點,等著看吧。
