Dwight Howard explains why he enjoys coming off the bench for Lakers
For the first time in his career, Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard is
coming off the bench.
洛杉磯湖人隊中鋒Dwight Howard在他球季生涯首次成為隊上替補球員。
Howard, who signed a non-guaranteed deal with the Lakers after the team lost
DeMarcus Cousins to an ACL tear, says he is enjoying his role off the bench.
因為Cousins前十字韌帶受傷，Howard和湖人簽了一份不保障合約，他說他很享受替補
球員的角色。
“I enjoy coming off the bench,” Howard said on Spectrum SportsNet, via
Silver Screen And Roll. “I get the opportunity to see the schemes that the
other team is doing (and) where I’m needed on the floor, whether that be up
on the pick and rolls, if I need my energy to be up, if I need to come in the
game and get a couple blocks. I’m reading the defense, I’m reading the
offense and I’m just seeing where I can be of service to my teammates.
“It’s a very different role for me but I really do enjoy it… I just want
to be the person who can see everything on the court before I even get on.”
Howard在接受光譜體育台的訪問時說：「我享受從替補出賽。我有機會看到其他球隊正在
做什麼事情以及在球場上我需要怎麼做，不管是要打擋拆配合，如果我需要把能量提升，
，如果我需要上場來幾個阻攻，我閱讀防守，我閱讀進攻，我看看在哪些地方能夠幫助到
隊友們」。
「對我來說這是一個非常不一樣的角色，但是我真的很喜歡這樣...我只是想成為一個在
我上場之前就可以了解球場上所有事情的球員。”」
In 17 games this season for the Lakers, Howard is averaging 6.7 points and
7.2 rebounds while shooting 75.0 percent from the field in roughly 20 minutes
per game. He has also been a solid rim protector for the team, recording 1.5
blocks per contest.
本賽季為湖人出戰的17場比賽中（不含今日對戰鵜鶘），Howard場均貢獻6.7分和7.2籃板
，平均每場比賽上場20分鐘左右的投籃命中率為75%。他也是球隊很重要的籃框保護者，
每場比賽平均送出1.5阻攻。
Howard hasn’t been a distraction on or off the court and seems to be
embracing his role to the fullest.
Howard沒有在球場上或球場外分散注意力並且似乎正在充分發揮他的作用。

有別的網站統計湖人近10場比賽Howard在場上時
每百回合湖人總共被對手得到111分
平均每36分鐘犯規7.5次
和剛開季時的表現相比沒那麼亮眼
但有球評解釋因為之前Avery Bradley也在場上時
Howard比較不需要在後面補防
現在Bradley受傷加上Kuzma和Rondo歸隊
他們兩個在防守端很容易漏人所以Howard常常在補防阻止對手得分時犯規
不過球評也指出Howard自己也常常犯下"沒有目的的愚蠢犯規" (All too often, he
commits silly fouls all over the court that don’t really serve a purpose.)
加上裁判對他的吹判比較嚴厲讓他犯規次數偏高
這也是Howard目前要重視的課題
