In a detailed Q&A with the Charlotte Observer, Hornets head coach Steve
Clifford says why he thinks Lin and Walker should be able to coexist, going
so far as to strike a comparison between those two and Stephen Curry and Klay
Thompson:
在夏洛特觀察報的一次訪談中, 黃蜂教頭Clifford表示他認為林書豪跟Walker應該可以共
存共榮, 這組合的天花板就是勇士的浪花兄弟Curry與K湯
"It’s always good to have two pick-and-roll players on the floor. That way
you can put pressure on the defense at one side, then switch it to the other.
That makes more room to play similar to how Golden State does. You’ve got
Steph (Curry) on one side, so defenses have to load up there, and then you’
ve got Klay Thompson on the other with room to operate. That’s what Kemba
can do for Jeremy and Jeremy can do for Kemba."
他說"同時有兩個能打PnR的球員在場上總是好的, 這能讓對手的防守在這兩端倏忽捉摸不
定進而產生壓力, 就像勇士那樣能給自己製造出更多的出手空間; 讓Curry跑來這邊對手
就得在這邊佈防, 然後K湯在另一邊就能獲得可以發揮的空間, 這也是Kemba跟林書豪能替
彼此做的事
The problems here are obvious. For one, Walker and Lin are both suspect
outside shooters. Defenses don't respect them half as much as they do the
Splash Brothers, which will damage Charlotte's ability to space the floor.
Clifford also fails to mention the other end of the floor. Curry and Thompson
are excellent defenders. Walker and Lin aren't terrible, but are limited by
their diminutive size.
但問題很明顯, 首先, Kemba跟林的三分沒那麼強, 在對手眼中他們這組合產生的壓力搞不
好不到浪花兄弟的一半, 這組合所能創造出的空間也有限; 再來Clifford沒提到浪花兄弟
除了攻擊很罩之外, 他們同時也是很出色的防守者, Walker跟林的防守雖不糟, 但卻深深
的被各自的體型所限
It'll be interesting to see how often Clifford actually plays Walker and Lin
together, despite the positive things he has to say here.
在Clifford說了這麼多Walker跟林書豪搭配的好處後, 我很有興趣來看到底實際上這組合
會多常被使用到~
