Bulls-Hornets notes and observations http://tinyurl.com/pdby2h4
The slimmer, fitter, happier Al Jefferson
一. 更精瘦, 更適應, 更快樂的Al Jefferson
One of the most notable Hornets storylines this season was center Al
Jefferson shedding 20 pounds. At least on Monday night, Jefferson looked like
a different player. After all, as someone who has watched Jefferson for seven
years, seeing him with tangible bursts of speed is jarring, but cool. Having
that extra speed enabled Jefferson to move more off of the ball on offense,
and similarly enhance the team's spacing on the floor.
本季最值得注意的其中之一, 就是黃蜂的中鋒Al減掉了20磅囉~ 至少在周一對戰公牛時,
Al看似判若兩人, 之後一個七年來都在關注Al比賽的人表示, 看到Al充滿速度跟爆發力的
表現後覺得, 雖然不太能適應但看的挺爽的就是了~ 有了更快的速度後Al就能在無球跑動
進攻上做得更好, 順帶的也讓黃蜂整體的spacing提升一個檔次
Defensively, it was also noticeable. While Jefferson has never been a great
defender, being lighter made a difference in allowing him to cover more
ground, and at least get a hand in the shooter's face. At the age of 30
Jefferson isn't going to become an all-world defender, but it will be
interesting to see if he looks better once the real games begin.
防守方面也同時有值得一提的地方, Al從來都不曾是個出色的防守者, 少了20磅後他的防
守範圍變得更廣了些, 至少能在對手跳投時把手遮在對方的臉上, 30歲的Al並不會成為全
方位的防守者, 但季賽開始後他是否能表現得更出色則是令人有興趣想看到的事
Jeremy Lin and the top of the key
二. 林書豪 - 罰球線頂端的出手
Lin had another nice game against the Bulls on Monday with his 18 point, five
assist, and eight rebound performance. The most impressive part about Lin's
18 points isn't that he did it in 24 minutes, but that he only needed eight
shots to do so since he went 5-9 from the free throw line.
對公牛一戰林書豪再次打出好表現, 18分5助攻8籃板, 最令人印象深刻的並非他在24分鐘
內拿下18分, 而是這18分他只用了8次出手 (另含罰球線9中5)
In particular, Lin took roughly half of his shots from the top of the key.
Often times, Lin would work off of a screen, and flare out to his spot on the
court. It's funny because the long two is a much maligned shot these days,
but it's a shot that Lin can hit capably. From 2011-2014 Lin shot between
40.6 percent and 45.2 percent between 16 feet and the three-point line. On
Monday Lin went 2-4 from that space above the break, but it's a shot that
he's hit well all preseason.
尤其是這場林書豪幾乎有一半的出手是來自於罰球線頂端, 常常會看到林藉由隊友幫檔後
快速閃到一旁出手; 這現象很有趣, 因為近來長距離兩分跳投普遍來說是不好的, 但林卻
能掌握得很好! 2011~2014之間林書豪在16呎到三分線這距離之間的命中率是40.6%~45.2%
, 這場他長距離兩分跳投也4中2, 他能投的這麼好真的很令人驚艷啊
This was Lin's preseason shot chart coming into the night, and has continued
to shoot very well from these spaces. I wouldn't expect him to continue to
shoot at a near-50 percent clip, because that's incredibly hard to do, but if
he can shoot like he did in New York and Los Angeles, Steve Clifford could
find himself with another trick up his sleeve.
點網址連結可以看到林書豪這次熱身賽的各位置命中率圖, 他在這些位置上真的都投的
很好, 我並不會去期待她有著將近50%的命中率, 因為這實在是太不切實際了點也太困難
, 但如果林書豪能像當初在尼克跟湖人那般神射神準, 那麼教頭Cliff就爽歪歪了
三. 奔跑吧！黃蜂們！
上一季黃蜂在快攻上全NBA倒數第二, 場均快攻得分只有9.2(真是不好的數字), 但對公牛
的下半場黃蜂快攻打的相當好, 並且有許多次easy baskets機會, 整場比賽黃蜂在快攻上
拿下了12分, 以上賽季來說就是中段班程度了~
四. P.J. Hairston改善了兩點, 卻在另一點上退步了
上一季教練要求的多分享球 & 防守上更賣力點, 這兩項看來是有進步
但擋拆後卻迷失了方向....
五. Lin could help Frank Kaminsky's development 林書豪能幫Kaminsky進步
I single out Lin here only because he led the second unit, and therefore
shared the court with Kaminsky more. We also saw a good amount of the
Lin-Kemba Walker backcourt, so it's logical to think that Kaminsky might play
with Lin the most. At any rate, Lin could ease Kaminsky's transition when
they're on the floor together as Lin looked for him several times, often at
the basket.
在此特別把林書豪單獨列出來是因為他領導著第二隊, 也就是他跟Kaminsky一起上場的時
間會很多; 看過了許多林書豪+Kemba後場組合的利多後, 邏輯上我們能知道Kaminsky主要
也會來跟林書豪搭配. 不管怎樣, 林書豪都能讓Kaminsky在transition上更得心應手, 因
為林書豪在場上會多次的留心Kaminsky的動態, 往往是在籃下時
Lin went out of his way to fire some risky passes into the post to find
Kaminsky, but the rookie mostly failed to convert, shooting just 1-6 from the
field. If the two are able to build that chemistry in shootaround and
practice, there could be something to that. In short, there could be
potential here, but the two players just need to learn how to play better
with each other, and that could very well come with time.
對公牛的這場林書豪許多次切入後做出有點危險性的助攻, 把球傳給底線的Kaminsky, 但
這菜鳥絕大多數都無法好好掌握住機會, 整場只有6投1中的成績. 如果林書豪跟Kaminsky
能建立起兩人之間的化學效應, 將會有不錯的表現, 他們倆仍需透過練習來學習如何跟對
方搭配, 但隨著時間轉動應該很快就能看到績效
六. 籃板抓輸公牛, 但關鍵時刻還是抓的到需要的的籃板的~
