Bob Cousy criticizes Celtics:
'It doesn't look like we're going to be hanging banner No. 18 any time soon'
The Celtics legend has an issue with the team's point guard play
前賽爾提克傳奇球員認為球隊的問題在於控球後衛
"They should be a lot better than they are," former Celtics point guard Bob
Cousy told the Boston Globe's Dan Shaughnessy. "It doesn't look like we're
going to be hanging banner No. 18 any time soon." The problem, in Cousy's
eyes, is the point guard position.
「他們理應繳出比現在好上很多的表現才對。」
前賽爾提克隊控球後衛 Bob Cousy 如是說。
「看起來我們是很難在近期掛上隊史的第十八面冠軍旌旗了。」
而問題為何，在 Cousy 眼中，是控球後衛這個位置有問題。
"I hate to bring it back to a point guard but … you don't have that control.
When we got a lead of 6-8 points, that was when I would take it home. I just
would not allow us to lose the lead."
「我討厭把問題歸咎於控球後衛，但是…現在的賽爾提克就是沒辦法控制住局面。」
「當我們取得六到八分的領先，我就得確保，
務必把這場勝利帶回家。我就是很難接受球隊就這樣眼睜睜的把領先優勢給噴回去。」
"They had one in Kyrie [Irving], but he was a head case. They potentially had
one in Kemba [Walker], although Kemba was a shooting guard more than a point
guard," Cousy said. "You need a penetrating point guard at that point who is
a threat and then he passes off to the [Jayson] Tatums and the [Jaylen]
Browns."
「他們曾有過 Kyrie [Irving] 在陣中，
但他是個怪人。後來的 Kemba [Walker] 可能算一個，
雖然 Kemba 本質上更像是一個得分後衛，而非控球後衛。」Cousy 說。
「在這個階段你需要的是一個能夠穿針引線的控球後衛。
本身能有進攻威脅，又能替 [Jayson] Tatums 和 [Jaylen] Brown 供輸的角色。」
The Celtics landed Dennis Schroder at a perceived bargain this offseason
hoping that he could fill that void. He largely hasn't. Boston ranks 11th in
the NBA in passes per game, but 21st in assists, suggesting that while
they're moving the ball more than most would believe, they aren't doing so
all that effectively. In late-game situations, the ball movement grinds to a
halt.
賽爾提克隊在這個休賽季以相當便宜的價格簽下了 Dennis Schroder，
希冀他能填上這個位置，但顯然他力有未逮。
賽隊每場比賽的傳球的次數在聯盟中排在第11位，但是達成助攻的次數卻是21位，
這顯示他們轉移球權的次數其實比大多數人的印象都還要多上不少，但是卻不夠有效。
而進入比賽後段時，皮球的轉移也會逐漸停滯下來。
