http://ppt.cc/muGZ Ball Don't Lie Wed Jul 14 10:20am PDT The Utah Jazz trade for Al Jefferson By Kelly Dwyer Al Jefferson needs the ball. He needs the ball on the low left block, some space and room to move. He would prefer it -- and this goes for both teammates and potential double-teamers on the other side -- if you left him alone. 新宅王喜歡在左邊低位拿球，清開空間單打。結果可能是製造隊友機會，或被包夾到死。 Al Jefferson might be more of a center than a power forward, which is cool -- this league can always use centers that aren't awful. But he also has a devil of a time guarding centers. And power forwards, while we're at it. And a combo featuring Jefferson and Paul Millsap, despite its ability to score and rebound, smacks awfully heavily of the failed combo we saw in Minnesota with Jefferson and Kevin Love. 新宅王是前鋒皮中鋒骨，但防守其他隊伍的鋒線也常搞得自己虛拉拉。想期待新宅王跟8M的組合？先看看北大荒的前車之鑑吧。 Al Jefferson is not the best screen-setter in the world, a result of too many offensive fouls picked up during his early years with the Boston Celtics. So he's a bit hesitant and, as a result, whiffs a ton. This doesn't exactly bode well for the Utah Jazz, who (as you may have heard) like to rely on the screen-and-roll quite a bit. 新宅王跟KG一樣擅長犯規掩護，只是KG不會被抓。阿爵眉頭一皺，直覺案情並不單純。 Al Jefferson was recently traded to the Utah Jazz, by the way. And despite all the worries posted above, the Jazz and their fans should be absolutely giddy with the move. Why? Because they just picked up Al Jefferson for absolutely nothing. And if you have a chance to go after Al Jefferson for absolutely nothing, you go after that. Such a deal. 阿爵粉絲一聽到新宅王要來就高潮了，還沾沾自喜為Gasol-style交易。 So Al's going to be with the Utah Jazz next season, and one can't help but give the Jazz and their ownership loads and loads of credit. They play in Salt Lake City and despite that big arena full of fans and the NBA's revenue sharing system, this isn't a team in New York or Los Angeles. And yet, here the Jazz are, about to pay the luxury tax again. A fine power forward in Millsap already on board, and yet the Jazz still go out and use a trade exception and future draft picks to grab Al Jefferson. Another guy making eight figures next season. 新宅王來到阿爵後要自立自強，這兒不像紐約或洛杉磯那麼好混。況且新宅王帶著千萬身價，把阿爵逼上豪華稅絕路，後頭還有8M虎視眈眈，你說皮能不繃緊一點嗎？ How Al fits is another story. As mentioned above, he's not the typical screen-and-roll presence you usually see in a Jazz uniform. He's almost better served as an undersized center, where all he has to do is set a screen off the ball to free a wing player on his way to the low post. In Jazzland, the power forwards are expected to be up top or on the elbow extended, ready to get in the way of the opposing point guard. Al really hasn't ever had to do that. 新宅王的使用說明書註記：昂得賽斯中鋒。任務是在前往低位途中幫搖擺人空手掩護。但是阿爵需要大前鋒站在高位或罰球線兩端，準備阻擾對方的控球後衛。新宅王表示：瞎米碗糕？ This shouldn't prevent him from trying, though. Really, the first 60 games of next season should be used to disappoint onlookers and worm his way into getting comfortable with the system. Seriously, tick off the fans, Al. Step out of your comfort zone, set screens, try and develop a sense of chemistry and timing with Deron Williams, and sometimes have to sit with two fouls and nine minutes left to go in the first quarter. 新宅王可能要花60場比賽才能暖身完畢。菜逼八就要多學著點，不時幫小胖跑跑腿，或是有犯規麻煩的時候問問金科拉怎麼守開特力。 Why? Because the Jazz already have Millsap, who knows how to work this. And they also boast Andrei Kirilenko, who plays better at power forward, and is probably bashing his head against the wall right now wondering what he has to do to earn back those power forward minutes he worked so well with during 2003-04. 8M跟AK都是新宅王的直屬學長。想幹掉他們爭大前鋒位子？先在開特力裡放瀉藥吧。 The Jazz have room to tide you over, especially if it means you having the faith to toss everything out and try to work inside their system. And while the Jazz traded for you to play like Al Jefferson, and while what you've given teams on the court hasn't led to your miserable career win/loss record, that doesn't mean you shouldn't take a chance and try to submit to a system that could make you and your teammates bigger than the sum of their collective talents. A finely honed sense of rhythm and chemistry with teammates in May will be well worth all the groans from October to March. 學長們會很有耐心的指導新宅王，告訴他異次元空間有哪些土產。既然來都來了，新宅王就有責任幫助阿爵重返榮耀。 It takes a massive leap of faith, trust in your own abilities and trust in the mugs that observe this game. Because while Al Jefferson could be quite successful heading to that low block and working as usual, he and his team could be incredibly successful if he finds a way to work up top, flash away from the ball, make Deron Williams more dangerous and in turn open up myriad offensive opportunities for his teammates. 新宅王以前在北大荒過太爽，現在有一堆學分要補修。全部all pass的話，小胖學長的王牌地位會更穩固，其他隊友也會雞犬升天。 That's what the two-man game does, after all. At its best, it makes for great options for five guys at a time, even if just one guy touches the ball for the entire play. 這就是雙人組合的威能。即使只有一個人碰球，卻能活絡全隊五個人的攻勢。 The Jazz just traded for Al Jefferson, and they only had to give up one fringe big man, some future draft picks and ask that the team's ownership group pay a whole lot of money for the roster as currently established. It's a fantastic move, even if the guy struggles to start the season. 為了得到新宅王，哭佛哭著跑去北大荒，阿爵也遵照教皇指示丟了首輪簽。這是筆重大投資，勸阿爵粉絲要把眼光放遠。 And the Timberwolves? Analysis? They're a mess. They got Kosta Koufos in the deal, and he might be worth taking a look at, but they've completely wasted all the assets they've had come through Minnesota over the last few years. Al Jefferson and Kevin Love couldn't play together, but this was the best deal possible? And this is when you make the deal? For a trade exception and picks? Such a waste. 然而北大荒情況更慘。他們浪費了過去幾年來所有的資產，只換回TE跟選秀權。逢低買進好像也沒多低。 Al Jefferson? Don't waste this. You have 82 games to work through before you hit the playoffs for the second time in your career, your first postseason trip as a starter. Work with Deron Williams and Jerry Sloan to be the guy that pushes this team over the top. 新宅王混得好的話，可能會首次以先發身份迎接生涯第二度的季後賽。只要他擋得住小胖的無雙和教皇的幻朧魔皇拳。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.167.75.42
