Under-the-radar Sixers climbing Eastern conference charts http://www.nba.com/2011/news/features/john_schuhmann/02/05/sixers-improvement/ Posted Feb 5 2011 10:47AM John Schuhmann - NBA.com NEWARK -- If only they could get a couple of those close games back. 只要幾場詭異的失敗遮起來不看的話，事情就會變得很不一樣。 The Philadelphia 76ers are 4-11 in games decided by five points or less. Overall, they've outscored their opponents by a total of 30 points, but they're three games below .500 because they've mostly failed in the clutch. 嗯，這隻沒安太歲的球隊，在五分差距的比賽中只有 4-11 難看的戰績，但是他們本季的淨分差在結稿前是 +30 (到今天打完老鷹是 +50)，因為在關鍵時刻的不穩定，他們仍距離五成勝率兩場勝差(超弱的！)。 Turn two of those 11 losses into wins and the Sixers would be tied with the New York Knicks for sixth place in the Eastern Conference heading into the second game of their home-and-home miniseries on Sunday. Much has been made about the Knicks' resurgence this season, but not many have noticed the team that is right on their tails. 超級保守評估：只要這十一場失敗中有兩三場七六人能夠多得到幸運女神的一點眷顧，他們現在就能跟隔壁的尼克隊打成平手(當然目前互相都是對方重要的季後賽席次假想敵)，他們最近要打一個 home-home series (剛打完，兩邊都守住了自己主場)。當大家都把他們的視線印在今年尼克的徹底大復活上的時候，大部分人卻都忽略了在他們背後的七六人。 Friday's win over the Knicks put the Sixers at 20-13 since Nov. 27, when they stood in last place in the Eastern Conference at 3-13. Philadelphia finished two games behind New York last season and is two games behind the Knicks through Friday. They've basically made the same improvement, and the only free agent they signed last summer was Tony Battie. 星期五七六人贏了尼克之後，他們在最近的三十三場比賽中贏了二十場，很難想像在此之前，七六人有一個非常悲慘，三勝十三負的開季。七六人去年球季最終是以兩場勝場差落後尼克。公平的來評論，七六人跟尼克其實有著同樣的進步，尼克從自由市場中獲得了 Amare Stoudamire ，費城這邊呢？ Tony Battie. (按: 我們還沒算上交易，七六人在一個沒有人看得懂的交易中送出了聯盟頂級防守中鋒 Samuel Dalembert, 而換回來的中鋒叫做 Spencer Hawes...) So head coach Doug Collins deserves a lot of the credit for his team's success. When he replaced Eddie Jordan, he took over a squad with no go-to scorer, no interior defense (once Samuel Dalembert was traded) and little perimeter shooting. And during the preseason, he honestly admitted that he was having a hard time figuring out how they were going to score consistently. 所以，七六人的成功大部分必須歸功於 Doug Collins 與他的努力。當他取代達叔(Eddie Jordan)當上七六人總教練時，他拿到的是一個相當尷尬的陣容——沒有 go-to man，也沒有內線掃把(防守陣容核心, 剛剛講的 Dalembert..)，而且更沒有射程可言(按: 我懶得列出這幾年七六人悲慘的三分線..)。從季前訓練營開始，他不得不承認他真的對於替這個球隊尋找一個穩定得分的手段，是一件苦差事。 But in Game 19, Collins discovered a starting lineup that gave him a boost both offensively and defensively. That lineup has cooled off a bit since its first several games together (it now ranks 38th among lineups that have played at least 100 minutes), but Collins continues to find success deeper into his rotation. 但是從本季第十九場開始， Doug 發現對於先發陣容作一個小小的調整，就能夠讓他的球隊同時在攻擊與防守的輪換中得到升級(讓 Jodie Meeks 加入先發陣容，Thaddeus Young 與 Evan Turner 從板凳出發)。這組先發陣容一開始並沒有馬上獲得成功(但是現在已經是超過一百分鐘的lineup 中的第38名)，但是 Collins 持續從他的 roster 裡面尋找合格的射手。 In fact, among the 134 lineups around the league that have played at least 75 minutes together, the Sixers' small lineup, with Thaddeus Young replacing Spencer Hawes on the frontline, is the best. Jrue Holiday, Jodie Meeks, Andre Iguodala, Young and Elton Brand have outscored their opponents by an incredible 37.1 points per 100 possessions in 83 minutes together. 一昂四小(一個 undersize 大前鋒配四個小福, Brand-Young-Iggy-Meeks-Jrue) 陣容，是當中表現最好的，他們的 ORat 與 DRat 之間的差距是可怕的 37.1 分(也就是讓他們打上一百波進攻他們會領先對手快四十分) (按: 其實就是把先發陣容中的耗子哥抽掉換成 Thad Young) NBA.com StatsCube: Best five-man units Team Unit MIN Off. Rat. Def. Rat. Diff.

The numbers are skewed somewhat by a seven-minute, plus-18 performance in Denver on Dec. 26, but the lineup has produced a positive plus-minus in 15 of the 19 games it's played together. 但是籃板能力顯然是這個組合中顯而易見的問題，所以 Doug 並沒有把這個組合當作萬解使用，而是見機行事。但是這個陣容通常會出現爆炸性的績效(像是12/16對上金塊的關鍵七分鐘，一次拉開十八分的差距)。 Young may be the key. He leads the team in raw plus-minus at plus-92, with the Sixers better both offensively and defensively with him on the floor. And he has proven to be much more effective at the four than at the three. "When he's playing that four spot and we get out on the break, he's devastating with his speed and quickness," Collins said. Thaddeus Young 是這組陣容中畫龍點睛的一部分，他在七六人的陣中，是未經調整的 +/- 值的領先者 (目前是 +92)，他在場上通常可以同時為七六人的進攻與防守兩端帶來活力，而且他在打四號的時候比打三號的時候更有效率。「當他打大前鋒的時候我們可以打更多的快攻，他出色的利用他的速度與敏捷，打出具有強大破壞力的比賽內容。」Doug Collins 是這樣形容的。 It's a contrast from last season, when Young took a step backward in his only season under Jordan after a strong sophomore campaign. 這種表現跟去年在達叔陣中 Young 尷尬的表現是極大的反差。 "I just didn't feel comfortable at all within the offense last year," Young said. "I don't think it was a perfect fit for me. I like this offense." 「去年達叔的系統讓我在進攻上不是很蘇湖，」 Thad 說道，「我不認為去年那個系統適合我發揮，我喜歡今年 Doug 這樣的打法。」 Jordan's offense wasn't a good fit for most of the Sixers' roster. But not all of that was Jordan's fault. Since Andre Miller left for Portland, the roster has been a strange mix without an identity or much cohesion. 去年 Eddie Jordan 所提供的解決方案並不適合七六人這樣年輕有活力但是欠缺經驗與 Basketball IQ 的陣容。但是這並不能完全算在達叔的頭上。自從 Andre Miller 被交易到波特蘭之後，這個陣容變得很尷尬，而且欠缺凝聚力。 Somehow, Collins has begun to make it work. Along with Young, Brand is having a renaissance season, while Holiday and Meeks each continue to grow in their second year in the league. 至少現在 Collins 找到了方法運作這個陣容。而且今年 Young 與 Brand 都有著很棒的反彈，而 Jrue 跟 Meeks 經過一年的磨練之後都變得更加成熟，使 Doug Collins 的處境有如倒吃甘蔗。 Without that go-to guy, Sixers have had to win with balance. They have five guys averaging double-figures, with a sixth, Meeks, averaging double-figures as a starter. 當球隊沒有 Go-to man 的時候，七六人必須在攻守兩端都取得平衡，才能夠贏得比賽。他們有五個球員每場平均能夠達到兩位數得分，而且還可以再算上第六個，因為 Jodie Meeks 在先發時每場平均也有兩位數的得分。 They don't have an All-Star, and you can't make a strong argument for any of their players over the 12 that fans and coaches selected to represent the Eastern Conference. But if you were making a list of the next 12 guys in the East deserving of All-Star consideration, you might have four Sixers on it: Brand, Holiday, Iguodala and Young. 七六人今年並沒有任何球員被入選全星星隊，而且他們沒有任何球員有辦法在教練與球迷之間形成話題。但是如果你要列個明年有極大機會被選入全星星的名單，我現在就可以給你四個名額：Elton Brand, Jrue Holiday, Andre Iguodala, Thaddeus Young. The Sixers currently rank 16th in the league offensively and 12th defensively. And since that 3-13 start, they've been the fifth best team in the East statistically. Without an offensive or defensive anchor, that's probably their peak. But it's clear that Collins is making the most of what he's got. 七六人目前是全 NBA 當中 ORtg 第十六名，DRtg 第十二名。且自從他們可怕的前十六場之後，他們的戰績是東區第五。雖然他們沒有一個明確的攻守核心，這大概是他們目前的極限，但是 Collins 正在讓這隻球隊打出他們應該要打出來，攻守平衡的籃球。 As they fight for the sixth spot, the Sixers can't look back at those narrow defeats. They can, however, look forward to the playoffs. 現在他們已經對東區第六的尼克打出超車燈，他們不應該去回頭看那些他們那些難過的小比分差比賽，他們應該往前朝著他們的季後賽之旅邁進。 -- 【板主:willyt/mayeve】 Je*a9**/Z*DEN*: 七六人好弱 ^.< 看板《Sixers》 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.129.113.171 ※ willyt:轉錄至看板 NBA 02/09 18:43 ※ 編輯: willyt 來自: 220.129.113.171 (02/09 18:44)
