Andrew Bynum Signing Another Step in Indiana Pacers' Bid to Topple Miami Heat
溜馬為了打敗熱火的另一個賭注：簽下Andrew Bynum
We've known for months that the Eastern Conference will come down to the
Indiana Pacers versus the Miami Heat. Well, the Pacers may have just grabbed
the upper hand by signing free-agent center Andrew Bynum.
從這幾個月我們可以知道，東區決賽很可能是溜馬對決熱火。溜馬簽下自由球員-中鋒
Bynum後可能在對決中佔了上風。
As first reported by ESPN's Brian Windhorst, Indiana signed the oft-injured
center to be Roy Hibbert's backup on Saturday.
溜馬在星期六簽下之前受傷病困擾的中鋒Bynum，作為Roy Hibbert的替補。
"It really wasn't a hard decision, I think it's the right fit for me and, in
all honesty, I think we've got the best chance of winning," said Bynum,per an
official release on the Pacers' website. "It will be great to back up Roy and
I'll do whatever I can to help this team."
Bynum表示："這不是困難的決定，這個決定很適合我。老實說，我覺得我們有最大的贏球
機會。"來自溜馬網站的官方新聞搞。
Between Bynum and Greg Oden, both the Pacers and the Heat have incredibly
talented yet injury-prone big men. The acquisition of Bynum could be more of
a boon to Indiana than Oden has been to Miami, though.
不論是Bynum或是Greg Oden，溜馬或是熱火都有天賦異稟但是容易受傷的大個子。然而
Bynum的加入對溜馬的幫助可能大於Oden對熱火的。
With the Pacers and the Heat separated by only three games, the slightest
addition could be enough to help one team secure home-court advantage
throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs. In that sense, the Bynum
acquisition is as much about preventing Miami from getting the big man as it
is adding him to Indiana.
溜馬和熱火的勝差只有三場，一點點的改變就足以幫助其中一隊取得東區季後賽的全部主
場優勢。溜馬取得Bynum從另一方面來看也是防止熱火得到他。
Both teams are incredibly effective, but they go about asserting their
dominance in completely different ways.
兩隊都很有競爭力，但他們統治球賽的方式不同。
The Pacers do much of their damage on the defensive end, while the Heat
garner most of their success from their offense. That's not to say each team
is limited in how it goes about winning games, just that their strengths tend
to lie on one end of the court.
撇開兩隊如何取得勝利，只看兩隊在球場上所依賴的長處。溜馬較常在防守端對敵人造成
破壞，熱火則是在進攻端取得較多的成功。
Much of Indiana's success on the defensive end can be attributed to center
Roy Hibbert. He's a menacing presence in the post and one of the league's
premier defenders. Although Bynum is nowhere near his level, him signing with
Miami could have neutralized Hibbert just a bit.
溜馬在防守端的成功大部份可以歸功於中鋒Roy Hibbert。他在低位造成很大的威脅，也
是聯盟中屬一屬二的防守者。雖然Bynum的能力不及Hibbert，若熱火簽下Bynum，還是多
少會牽制住Hibbert。
Statistically speaking, adding Bynum would have helped Miami with its
deficiencies more than it will help the Pacers with theirs. That's exactly
why Indiana had to sign him.
統計資料上來說，相對於溜馬，加入Bynum可以彌補熱火更多的不足。這正是為什麼溜馬會
簽下他。
The Heat rank 19th in defensive rebound percentage(註一) and 30th in
offensive rebound percentage(註二). In short, if Miami is lacking in any single
area, it's rebounding.
熱火防守籃板百分率排名19，進攻籃板百分率排名30。如果要找熱火的短處那就是籃板。
表、溜馬熱火籃板比較表
Bynum, for all his ailments and physical limitations, is still a capable
rebounder. In his 24 games with the Cleveland Cavaliers this season, he
averaged 9.5 rebounds per 36 minutes and a total rebound percentage(註三) of
14.6 percent. Both of those figures are below his career averages (10.8 per
36; 17.0 TRB%), but they're still solid.
就算把Bynum的傷病限制考慮進去，他還是一個可用的籃板手。今年在騎士隊出賽24場換
算成出場36分鐘可以拿下9.5個籃板而總籃板百分比為14.6%。這兩項數據都比他的生涯
平均低(10.8個籃板；17.0%總籃板百分比)，但還是不錯。
He may not be the rebounder he once was, but he'd certainly help the Heat in
that regard.
他可能不是以往身手的籃板手，但還是可以幫助熱火隊。
Furthermore, he'd provide the Heat with a rim protector. Miami averages 4.4
blocks per game, which is tied for 21st in the league. Bynum, for his part,
averaged 2.1 blocks per 36 minutes for Cleveland. That's right in line with
his career average of 2.2.
他也可以幫助熱火保護籃框。熱火平均每場4.4個火鍋，聯盟排名第21位。在騎士換算成
出場36分鐘可以有2.1個火鍋，和他生涯平均2.2個火鍋只差一點。
Unlike Miami, Indiana is one of the league's best teams in terms of
rebounding and blocked shots. It may not have needed Bynum, but the Heat did.
That's why corralling him before the defending champs could sign him was of
the utmost importance.
不像熱火，溜馬在籃板和火鍋的表現是全聯盟數一數二的。他們也許不需要Bynum，但熱
火需要。所以在衛冕冠軍隊簽下他前搶到Bynum對溜馬至關重要。
That doesn't mean the Pacers won't also benefit from the signing. The
addition of Bynum gives Indiana a two-headed monster in the middle that not
many teams can match—especially not the Heat.
但溜馬也不是全然沒有好處，加入Bynum讓他們擁有兩個禁區怪獸。沒有幾支球隊可以對
抗，尤其是熱火。
The Heat only have one player who is 7'0"—Greg Oden, who doesn't play many
minutes to begin with. Their only players listed at 6'10" or taller are Oden,
Chris Bosh, Chris Andersen and Rashard Lewis. With the addition of Bynum, the
Pacers will now have three players who are 6'11" or taller (Bynum, Hibbert
and Ian Mahinmi).
熱火只有一個七呎球員-Greg Oden，上場時間不多。只有Oden、Chris Bosh、Chris
Andersen和Rashard Lewis高於六呎十吋。加入Bynum後溜馬現在有三名球員高於六呎11吋
(Bynum、Hibbert 和Ian Mahinmi)。
The Pacers are also the league's best defensive team by far (allowing only
96.5 points per 100 possessions) and the best defensive rebounding team.
Bynum will help in both those areas.
目前為止，溜馬也是聯盟最會防守(一百次進攻讓敵對得到96.5分)和搶防守籃板的球隊。
Bynum在這兩部分都可以幫助到球隊。
The only area in which Indiana could use a boost on defense is shot blocking.
The Pacers are still well above average, but they're not at the top of the
league, ranking fifth with 5.7 blocks per game.
防守端可以再進步的就是火鍋。雖然優於平均但不是聯盟第一，目前每場比賽5.7個火鍋
排名第五。
Hibbert, at 2.5 blocks per game, is the only one on the team who could be
characterized as a shot-blocker. No other Indiana player is averaging more
than 0.9 blocks per game. Bynum averaged 1.2 blocks in 20 minutes per game
for Cleveland. So even in a small role, he'll provide a shot-blocking boost
for the Pacers.
Hibbert每場平均2.5個火鍋是溜馬中唯一的蓋鍋好手，其他人場均都不到0.9個。Bynum在
騎士每場出賽20分鐘送出1.2個火鍋，可以稍微提升溜馬的蓋鍋次數。
Bynum is obviously not the player he once was. He's a shell of his former
self, in fact. However, he's still capable of providing shot-blocking, size
and rebounding. For the most part, Indiana is already capable in those areas.
The Heat, on the other hand, are not.
Bynum明顯失去他以往的身手，但還是可以提供蓋鍋、身材和籃板。溜馬在這些方面已經
表現不錯了，但熱火不是。
With the two teams so close already, that could be just enough to put the
Pacers over the top in the East.
兩隊本來差距就不大，但這次交易可能會讓溜馬成為東區霸主。
