10 observations about the Hornets after 2 exhibitions in China
關於黃蜂在中國熱身賽的10點觀察。
Ten impressions of the Charlotte Hornets’ performances in China, from
somewhere over Alaska:
1 Regardless of whether he becomes a starter or a reserve, mostly a point
guard or frequently a shooting guard, Jeremy Lin looks like a good pickup
over the offseason.
不論林作為先發或替補，主打PG或SG，林看起來像是上賽季後一個好的補強。
He won’t always go off, as he did with the Hornets’ first 10 points in
Wednesday’s 113-71 blowout of the Los Angeles Clippers. But he’s both a
scorer and a playmaker. He drew the defense in the second half to feed center
Al Jefferson so open there was no one within 5 feet of him when Jefferson
flipped the ball into the basket.
他不會總是像上場那樣爆發(得到隊上的前十分)。但他可同時得分及組織，如同下半場吸
引防守送給AL 一個超大空檔一樣。
2 Cody Zeller looks more and more like the starter at power forward,
partially because of circumstance.
Zeller可能打先發PF。
He played OK Wednesday (six points, three rebounds and four assists) compared
with his 16-point, 10-rebound first game in China. But in a crowd of power
forwards, he’s the most logical starter in part because of the loss of small
forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (shoulder).
It appears Marvin Williams (who’s having a terrific preseason) will play as
much at small forward as at power forward. So in a dead heat between Zeller
and Williams for best option at power forward, the logical step is bringing
Williams off the bench at both positions.
3 Amazing what making 3-pointers will do. The Hornets hit 14 of 25 attempts
from the arc Wednesday to beat the Clippers by 42 points.
Will they shoot like that every night? Of course not. But adding Lin, Jeremy
Lamb and Spencer Hawes improves what was the worst 3-point team in the NBA. I
asked Clippers coach Doc Rivers about the Hornets’ ball movement. He said
teams that make 3s always have better ball movement because defenses can’t
crowd the lane.
黃蜂每晚比賽會像上場3分線發威嗎(25投14中)?當然不會。但在加入林、小羊、Hawes後
，確實提升了這支上季聯盟最差3分的球隊。
4 At 4-0 they’re feeling optimistic. When I asked Lin if he was surprised
how quickly the offense has come together, he noted the unselfishness: No one
seems to care who scores the points so long as it happens.
在熱身塞4連勝後，球員感覺很樂觀。記者問林是否對進攻磨合這麼快感到驚訝，林指出
”無私”，只要能得分，球員不在乎是否是自己投進的。
This seems to be a good group. They believe they’re fast-tracking toward
strong team chemistry.
這看起來像是個在追尋強烈化學反應的好隊伍。
5 Nicolas Batum’s statistics sneak up on you because he’s more an
all-around player than a specialist in any one skill. He didn’t shoot
particularly well Wednesday (3 of 8 from the field, 1 of 4 from the 3-point
line), but he finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. He got
to the foul line seven times and made each shot.
If coach Steve Clifford chooses to go with Kemba Walker, Lin and Batum as
starters, that will be three ball handlers who can get the Hornets into their
offense as soon as possible. That improves pace of play and productivity.
假如教練把砍巴、林、巴頓作為先發，黃蜂將同時有3個可持球者，將盡可能快地增進攻
擊回合步調及產能。
6 Lamb’s best fit is likely as the first reserve off the bench. He’ll get
his chance for minutes that eluded him in three seasons with the Oklahoma
City Thunder. But he’s more suited to play those minutes primarily against
the other team’s reserves.
小羊比較可能打第六人
7 Jefferson is receptive to trying something a little different offensively.
He’s obviously one of the two or three best low-block scorers in the NBA.
But the Hornets’ offense was looking a little stale last season when that
was the only way they used his scoring skills.
Clifford is encouraging more side pick-and-rolls, particularly between
Jefferson and Batum. That can open up things, particularly Jefferson’s
mid-range baseline jump shot, so the offense won’t look so predictable.
8 For now, rookie lottery pick Frank Kaminsky waits his turn in the
frontcourt, but I think he’ll be a factor in the rotation by midseason.
There are so many options right now – Zeller, Williams, Hawes and Tyler
Hansbrough – that Kaminsky picks up a few minutes in the second half. But
that doesn’t seem to be hurting his self-confidence: Wednesday he pulled up
and nailed a 3-pointer.
Last season, rookie Noah Vonleh, after one season at Indiana, looked
overwhelmed picking up the skills and strategy to play in a regular-season
NBA game. I don’t see Kaminsky, who played all four seasons in Wisconsin
before turning pro, as similar.
9 Brian Roberts is having a really good preseason. That might not matter
much, as he appears destined to be the third-string point guard. But point
guard is the position where knowing you can trust the third-string guy is
pretty important.
蘿蔔絲在熱身賽有好表現，但最可能還是打第三PG。
10 Troy Daniels and P.J. Hairston could get left behind if their injuries don
’t heal soon enough to get playing time this preseason. The depth this
preseason means a different level of competition from Clifford’s previous
two training camps.
