Charles Barkley: Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan holding back Clippers
By BEN BOLCH
The Clippers have never made it past the second round of the playoffs in
their 45 years of existence, including the last three seasons with the core
of Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.
過去45年，快艇從來沒有闖過季後賽第二輪，
即使過去三個賽季有CP3 + Griffin + 小喬丹。
NBA Hall of Famer and TNT analyst Charles Barkley said he held only one of
those players blameless for the Clippers’ recent inability to make a deep
playoff push as they prepare to open the first round Sunday at Staples Center
against the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs.
TNT評論員Charles Barkley認為，快艇沒有能力闖過馬刺這關。
“Chris Paul is the reason they’re winning. He’s not the reason they’re
losing [in the postseason],” Barkley said Thursday during a conference call
in advance of the playoffs. “He has to do so much for that team because you
can’t get the ball to DeAndre, who is a hell of a player, but you can’t
give him the ball. I would be curious to see the last time he scored when he
didn’t dunk.
Barkley表示：
「Chris Paul是快艇贏球的原因，並不會是他們輸球的原因。
他為球隊做了這麼多，但是卻不能把球給DeAndre，
他是個了不起的球員，但不能把球給他，我很好奇他上次得分不是用灌籃是在哪時？」
“I would love for somebody to go back and look at the entire season and
count DeAndre Jordan’s baskets and I bet you it’s probably been [a ratio
of] 90 to 10, dunks to making a shot.”
「我想大家可以回想一下整個賽季，數一數小喬丹的進球，
我敢打賭，灌籃和投籃的比例大概是90：10。」
Barkley was just getting started with his criticism of Clippers stars not
named Paul.
你以為巴爵士的批評結束了嗎？其實正要開始...
“Blake, to me, I like Blake a lot as a player but he has not become better
in the halfcourt,” Barkley said. “He’s become a jump shooter. And that
goes back to those guys at Golden State. If I’m guarding Blake, I want him
to shoot jumpers, because if he comes toward me full speed or posts me up, I’
m going to have to get in foul trouble.
「在我看來，我喜歡Griffin，但他在半場陣地戰並沒有變得更好。
他變成一個跳投為主的球員了，這同時也在說勇士隊的那些人了，
如果我是防守者，我會希望Griffin去投籃，
因為如果他全速朝我這衝過來進攻的話，我會陷入犯規麻煩。」
“Every time he shoots a jump shot, the defender is saying, ‘Thank God, he
shot a jumper.’ So if he keeps saying he wants to round his game, screw
that, man. You get to the basket, you get layups, dunks, you get the other
team in foul trouble.”
「每次當他要跳投時，防守者都會想說"謝天謝地，他投籃了！"
如果他還記得自己說過要讓自己變得更好的話，
你應該去籃下，你要去上籃灌籃，給防守者製造犯規麻煩。」

DeAndre Jordan on Charles Barkley's criticism of his offense: "How many rings
does Charles Barkley have?"
至於小喬丹聽了Barkley的評論後，只說了一句話...
「Charles Barkley是有幾枚冠軍戒？」
