http://0rz.tw/bJOip A For Effort, F For Me 拼的是他们，输的是我 By Brian on December 1, 2009 1:51 AM I came to a startling realization tonight as I was laughing this loss off over dinner with my wife. She asked me why I was laughing when in the past I've basically been catatonic after a game like this. I thought about it for a second and then the reason hit me, it's because I never, ever, not for one single second got caught up in their fourth quarter run. I never believed they'd win the game, not even when they scratched and clawed their way back to tie it at 102. It was a sad moment, definitely the low point for me since I started this blog and I'll explain how I got here after the jump. 今天的晚餐桌上，一记当头棒喝。我跟老婆大人笑着说又输球了，她问我怎麽这 麽开心？毕竟以前碰到这种输球方式，我总是黯然失魂搥心肝。想了一阵，理由 突然在脑中浮现--因为整个第四节的追分大反攻过程里，我完全置身事外，一秒 钟都没有跟着嗨起来。即使是球员们浴血奋战、102-102追平比数的那一刻，我 也不相信他们会赢。真是悲哀的觉悟啊，绝对是这个部落格开张以来，我球迷生 涯的最低点。怎麽会落魄至此，容我在跳转後说明。 The answer is simple, Eddie Jordan is a pitiful coach. Horrible, in fact. He makes asinine decisions and baffling comments. If you asked him what color the sky is, he'd say green (Willie Green). Time and time again he's put horrible lineups on the floor, depended on borderline NBADL players for big minutes and benched the only players on his roster capable of turning things around. I hold him accountable for all of this and more. He's taken a Sixers roster that was competitive in the league and turned them into the New York Knicks in less than 20 games. This is a list of his failures. My failure is that I let what Jordan has done to the team as a whole affect my belief in the guys who actually wear the jerseys. 答案非常简单，Eddie Jordan 是个烂教练。应该说，烂到可怕。球场上没带脑 筋，球场下更是乱放炮。如果你问他天空是什麽颜色？他会说绿色（他爱小绿） 。他一而再再而三，派出奇怪的阵容组合，让连NBDL都打不好的球员大量上场， 而最有能力扭转局面的人，却只能坐冷板凳。在我心中，他的罪状还不只如此。 上季曾经在联盟中打出竞争力的这支七六人，只给他不到20场比赛的时间，就成 了纽约尼克的分身。这些全都是他的错。而我的错呢？就是让达叔对这支球队做 的一切，动摇了我对真正在打球的人的信心。 If you've followed this blog for more than a week or two, you realize that I've always been more glass half full than half empty, and that's a tremendous understatement. I let Eddie Jordan break my will and that's unforgivable. To be honest, Ed Stefanski had a big hand in this as well, with the whole Allen Iverson fiasco and his decision to hire Jordan in the first place. I shouldn't have spent the fourth quarter expecting the other shoe to drop because the fourth quarter wasn't about Jordan. When it got to that point (down 9 with 2:30 remaining), Jordan couldn't do anything about what was happening on the floor. He put his small lineup in, but Iguodala, Dalembert and Thad were out there and they had something to say about how this game was going to end. The Princeton offense was abandoned, the passive, over-helping defense was gone as well. It was simply athletes on the floor, dare I say, getting after it in a way that Eddie Jordan neither understands nor condones. They pressured the ball mercilessly, they trapped, they did everything they could to suffocate Dallas, get stops and get turnovers. 如果这一两个礼拜以来，你有在看我的部落格，你应该知道我是个宁愿乐观以对 ，也不愿悲观放弃的人（这还是非常保守的说法）。但我竟然让达叔摧毁了我的 意志，真是不可原谅。老实说，今天这个局面，Ed Stefanski也有很大的责任， 包括提起重签AI的可能性，和最初的原罪--雇用达叔执掌七六人。看第四节比赛 的时候，我不该觉得一定会输，因为第四节跟达叔毫无关系。当比赛来到胜负关 头（剩2分30秒，落後9分），达叔也无力左右球场上的一切了。他把他最爱的小 球部队放在场上，但小AI、大懒伯和小羊，他们以行动在球场上宣示--比赛没这 麽容易结束！进攻时看不到普林斯顿，防守时也不再被动又过度补防。情况变得 很简单，这群运动员用生命打好每一球，而这是达叔不能理解也不容发生的。他 们发狠压迫、陷阱包夹、用尽一切方式掐紧达拉斯的牛鼻子，一遍遍地守住阵地 、制造失误。 On offense, they used dribble penetration instead of pointless dribble hand-offs thirty feet from the hoop to get good looks for each other and instead of contested 20-foot jumpers they got layups and wide-open threes. It was more playground than chalk board and it was good for a 12-3 run to tie the game. I should've been up on my feet for it, but instead I was stuck in the Eddie Jordan vortex, expecting every made shot to be met by a made shot by Dallas because, let's face it folks, that's just exciting basketball. The players deserved more from me tonight as a fan, not that it matters to them, but it matters to me. 进攻端，他们大胆切入，互相制造空间，而不是在距离篮框30尺的地方，搞"运 球面交"（dribble handoff，运球到传球对象旁，直接伸手给球），结果是一次 次的上篮和空档三分球，而不是在20尺外，从防守球员的指缝间射飞镖。丢下战 术本，拿起街头教条的结果，就是一波12-3的攻势，追平比赛。这时候，我应该 站起来兴奋大叫，但达叔效应却把我锁在椅子上，每次七六人进球，我就觉得小 牛也会投进。也难怪啦，毕竟这才是好看的篮球赛，是吧？身为球迷，今天的球 队表现值得我喝采，当然对电视上的他们没差，但我得向自己交代。 Anyway, the point is I'm going to try harder to separate my loathing of the brace-licker from my feelings about the team. They didn't choose their coach, they didn't choose this idiotic system on both ends of the floor and I think they've finally said enough is enough among themselves. All they can do is go out there and bust their asses every night to win basketball games, and that's exactly what they've been doing. 总之重点是，对达叔的恨意和对球队的观感，我必须更努力分清楚。这烂教练不 是他们选的，这鸟战术更不是他们挑的。我想，他们在私底下恐怕也已经受够了 。而唯一能做的，就是每晚上场燃烧自己求胜，而这场比赛就是最好的例子。 Here's a look at your rotations and a fun split to follow: 下面是本场比赛的阵容调度表，还有一项有趣的数据: （见:http://0rz.tw/byZqm，有比赛每一节开始(12:00)到结束的场上五人） In case his boneheaded play that may or may not have cost the Sixers the game (I think the shot was long, and I'll never admit otherwise), Sam Dalembert is the main reason the Sixers were even within striking distance in the fourth quarter. Over the past two games, Sam has played 67 minutes, grabbed 33 rebounds, blocked 6 shots, swiped 4 steals, and dished 4 dimes. That's domination. He was especially effective in the fourth quarter of both games. This made me think back to the effect Dalembert had on the two Nets games in the fourth, which led me to wonder exactly how good the team had been with Dalembert on the floor for the final 12 minutes. Check out these splits: 不论他不经大脑的补篮是否让七六人输掉比赛（我觉得小AI那球太长了，这是我 的解读），七六人之所以能够在第四节追上马刺，主要功臣就是大懒伯先生。过 去两场比赛，他上场67分钟、抓了33个篮板、搧了6客火锅、抢下6记抄截、还送 了4次助攻。这叫做制霸！尤其是在这两场的第四节，他的成绩单特别漂亮。这 让我想到之前两次对上篮网，出现在第四节的"大懒伯效应"，左右比赛结果，更 让我进一步思索，每场比赛最後12分钟，大懒伯在场上与否，到底有多大的影响 呢？请看下面的对比式数据。 - The Sixers have played 216 minutes in the fourth quarter of games - They have scored 437 points in those 336 minutes. - They have allowed 458 points - Sam has played 69 fourth quarter minutes - With Sam on the floor they have scored 153 points (2.22 points/minute) - With Sam on the floor they have allowed 125 points (1.81 points/minute) - Sam has sat for 147 minutes in the fourth quarter - With Sam on the bench they have scored 284 points (1.70 points/minute) - With Sam on the bench they have allowed 333 points (2.00 points/minute) - Sam has only played in the fourth quarter in 10 of 16 games - Sam has only played more than 5 minutes in the fourth quarter in 6 of 16 games - 七六人本季至今所有比赛的第四节时间总和是216分钟（18场比赛） - 这216分钟（应该是216分钟，336疑似误植）里，他们得了437分 - 这段时间里，他们被得了458分 - 大懒伯本季至今的第四节上场时间总和是69分钟 - 当大懒伯上场时，七六人得了153分 （2.22分/分钟） - 当大懒伯上场时，七六人被得了125分（1.81分/分钟） - 大懒伯本季至今的第四节休息时间总和是147分钟 - 当大懒伯下场时，七六人得了284分 （1.70分/分钟） - 当大懒伯下场时，七六人被得了333分（2.00分/分钟） - 至今18场比赛中，大懒伯只有在其中10场的第四节上场过 - 至今18场比赛中，大懒伯只有在其中6场的第四节，上场超过5分钟 Now, what conclusions can we draw from this? Well, the first one is obvious. Jordan has chosen to go without his best rebounder and shotblocker for the majority of the fourth quarter in 67% of the team's 18 games. Sam has played 32% of the team's fourth quarter minutes to this point of the season. Those are simply facts, I'll let you decide if they speak to Jordan choosing offense over defense. Of course, the offense has been much better in the fourth when Sam has been on the floor as well. If I had to guess, which I really don't because I've seen it with my own eyes, the reason is Sam's defense and offensive rebounding. He blocks shots to start breaks. He makes people miss shots to start breaks. He cleans the glass to start breaks. When he's on the bench, there is much less of this going on. Are these stats available to Coach Jordan? How could they not be? Does he use them? How could he and still choose "offense" over defense every single time? 好，我们能从中得到什麽结论？首先，很明显的，达叔在七六人本季至今的18场 比赛中，大部分时候（其实高达三分之二），不愿在第四节派出全队最好的篮板 和火锅手。大懒伯本季至今的第四节上场时间，只占了全队的32%。这是很简单 的数据，至於这是否代表在达叔心中，进攻>>>>>>>>>>防守，要由看官您来判断 。当然啦，当大懒伯在第四节上场时，进攻效率其实有提升喔。如果非得要我猜 个原因--其实我真的不用猜，因为眼睛看到的比赛内容已经昭然若揭--那就是大 懒伯的防守强度还有进攻篮板。他搧个火锅，快攻就来了；他让对手投不进，快 攻就来了；他抓个防守篮板，快攻就来了。当他在场下纳凉的时候，这些好事发 生的机率就会下降许多。达叔大大，他手上有这些数据吗？怎麽可能没有？那， 他会加以应用吗？怎麽可能用了，还是每次都牺牲防守来成就「进攻」呢？ （上） == 我想，这一季看到现在，很多人都对七六人很失望，却又不知道问题在哪。 我到现在只看了今天这场比赛的第四节最後五分钟。 但这位认真的美国乡民，是每场比赛都会看（现场/转播/电视盒）， 而且会同时纪录调度情形和特殊状况的认真写手。 不可否认，他的文章也只代表他的观点，但还是可以当成一个参考。 我几乎每场比赛完都会去看他的部落格， 因为他每天写七六人的文章数平均超过一篇， 比费城报纸还多，而且不是废话。 我把本季至今的问题统整一下： 1. 防守：还记得上一季三分线老是被射到爆吗？现在不但没改，还多了容易被 後卫切入，还有太过积极补防，容易露空档给对方的情形。而根本原 因是：达叔显然不重视防守。他不会因为某人一直被吃而换更好的防 守球员上来。另外，就团队防守来说，去年平均每面对一百波进攻， 失分是108分，每发动一百波进攻，得分也是108分（平均至个位数） 。但今年不一样罗！平均每面对一百波，失分是111分，每发动一百 波进攻，得分是106分。换句话说，进攻效率跟防守效率都比去年差 。（那相对全联盟来说，每面对一百波进攻掉111分，到底好还是不 好？提供个数据：勇士队的这项数据，平均掉110分。） 2. 小球：达叔显然很爱小球阵容。这场比赛是个例子，赛前Brand已经表示可 以健康上场，而最後也缴出20-10的成绩。但一开始Brand就被打入板 凳，最後也只上场2X分钟。取而代之的，是小绿-小祖-小AI-小羊-大 懒伯的小球阵容。小球的问题在哪？打过球的都知道，内线防守空虚 ，篮板拿不下来。你说那金州勇士还不是一大四小。请问我们有他们 的火力吗？再者，他们的战绩...。 -- 欢迎强者继续补充，本版需要更多的讨论。 另，这篇外电的下半明天再翻，实在太长了啊。 --
