First thing's first: The sky is not falling. Sure, the Knicks missed a chance to sweep the Celtics on Sunday. But no team in NBA history has rebounded from a 3-0 deficit. And Boston has given no indication that it has the talent to make that kind of history. So the Knicks, by all indications, will lock up the series and advance to the second round later this week. But a trend has emerged during the series that bears watching. 第一件事：天并没有塌下来。当然，尼克错过了在G4横扫老赛的机会。 但是，在NBA历史上，没有哪支球队能3-0的落後逆转，而老赛也没有迹象表明它有人才可 以打破那个历史纪录，所有迹象表明，尼克将会在本周晋级第二轮。 但已经出现在一系列的现像值得关注。 Carmelo Anthony has struggled in isolation in the postseason, particularly in Game 4. This is troubling because the Knicks have used Anthony in isolation at a high rate in the playoffs. Melo在季後赛中孤军奋斗，特别是在G4。这是个麻烦，因为在季後赛尼克用了较高频率的 Melo单打战术。 In the regular season, Anthony was in isolation on 26 percent of Knicks' plays that ended with a field goal attempt, free throw or turnover from the All-Star. He had a 41.8 field goal percentage on such plays, according to data provided by ESPN Stats and Information. 在季赛中，Melo的单打是尼克全队进攻的26％，他有41.8％的投篮命中率。 In the playoffs, Anthony's been in isolation on 43 percent of plays that end with the ball in his hand and has shot just 31 percent from the floor on those plays. 在季後赛中，Melo的单打变成43％，并且投篮命中率只有31％。 The iso-heavy offense seemed to hurt the Knicks on Sunday. Anthony was in isolation 49 percent of the time in Game 4. He shot 10-for-35 from the floor. Of course, J.R. Smith's absence affected Anthony and the Knicks on Sunday. Smith was suspended for elbowing Jason Terry in the jaw. If he were on the floor, things would presumably open up for Anthony. 大量的单打似乎在G4伤害了尼克队，Melo的单打占了G4全队进攻的49％，而他的出手是35 投10中。 当然，JR的缺阵在G4影响了Melo和尼克，JR因肘击Jason Terry被禁赛，如果他在场上， 可能可以帮Melo打开进攻的空间。 But his opportunities late in Sunday's game seemed to come at the expense of Raymond Felton. Felton scored 16 points on eight shots in the third quarter to help the Knicks rebound from a 20-point deficit. In the fourth quarter and overtime, he took a combined six shots. Anthony, on the other hand, went 4-for-14 in the fourth quarter and OT. 但是，G4赛中後期的机会似乎来在肥顿的努力。肥顿在第三节拿下了16分(8次出手)，在 第三季度帮助尼克从落後20分追分。但在第四节和延长赛时，他总共只出手6次。另一方 面，Melo在第四节和延长赛出手14次只投进4球。 "He missed some shots," Mike Woodson said. "But as a team we couldn't make shots. We struggled." 武僧说“他错过了一些投篮，但是，作为一个团队，就是我们无法投进，我们打的很挣扎 Surely, Anthony wasn't the only Knick whose shot was off in Game 4. The Knicks shot a combined 29 percent in the first half. But Anthony shouldered most of the blame after missing 25 shots. 当然，Melo不是G4唯一打铁的尼克球员。尼克在上半场打出了全队29％的投篮命率，但为 什麽责怪Melo当然是因为他有25次出手没投进。 "I just normally hit those shots. I’ve been taking them the whole series. They weren't falling tonight," Anthony said shortly after Game 4. Melo说：我只是正常的做那些投篮。我在这个系列战我一直这麽做，只是G4手感不好没投 进。 Maybe the Knicks would have been better served going with a balance between pick-and-rolls and isolation sets. 尼克如果可以在挡拆和单打间取得一个平衡也许会更好。 Felton thrived in the pick-and-roll in the third quarter on Sunday and the Knicks have had success on such plays in the postseason. 肥顿在G4第三节的挡拆表现的很好，而尼克在季後赛的成功来自像这样的play。 They are averaging 1.15 points per play on pick-and-roll plays and 0.67 points per play in isolation sets, per ESPN Stats and Information. 他们的每次挡拆平均得分为1.15分，而每次单打只有0.67分。 Of course, Anthony's at his best in isolation, not in the pick-and-roll. So it would be foolish to completely abandon Anthony's isolation sets and ask him to operate solely in the pick-and-roll. That would be like asking a world class violinist to play trumpet. 当然，Melo的单打是他最好的进攻方法而不是挡拆。因此，如果完全放弃Melo的单打技巧 并要求他打挡拆，这将是愚蠢的，这就好比要求一个世界级的小提琴家玩小号。 So there's no need to overhaul the offense. Even though he was off on Sunday, the Knicks still had a chance to win the game. And Anthony still got a few key Celtics into foul trouble. 因此，尼克没有需要改进进攻，虽然Melo G4的手感不佳，但尼克仍然有机会去赢得比赛， 而且Melo也让老赛的几个关键球员陷入犯规麻烦。 "At the end of the day, you're going to live and die with your go-to guy," Felton said after Sunday's game. "I was able to get in the paint and hit some big shots, but when the game is on the line you're going to be getting the ball to No. 7. That's what we've been doing all year. There's no need to change it now." 肥顿说：在一天结束的时候，你是胜利或失败取决於领袖的表现，在G4的比赛中，我是能 够得到在禁区和三分线投进球，但当比赛进行中，你就是想办法把球No. 7，这就是我们 本季一直在做的事，没有必要现在去改变它。“ Felton's right. There's no need to change anything. But maybe a less "Iso Melo" would benefit everyone involved. G4是肥顿的夜晚，没有必要改变任何东西，但也许少一些Melo单打将有利於每个球员进入 比赛的节奏中。 心得：经由G4就发现可以改进的地方，其实是好事 ^^ --
