http://0rz.tw/Q7hQ8 Inside the Sixers: Sixers plunge to new defensive depths 多恐怖？架恐怖！七六人的旋转门 POSTED: December 13, 2009 By Kate Fagan Inquirer Staff Writer We know the 76ers are practicing behind the curtain. We hear balls bouncing. Afterward, we see sweat dripping. For the final few minutes, we even watch, glued to the glass windows in the gym at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. Now, exactly what the Sixers are practicing remains an A-list mystery. 在媒体镜头之外，七六人确实有练球。 过程中，听得到篮球上下弹跳；事後，也看得到满身大汗。甚至每段练习时间的尾声 不过，七六人到底在练什麽？令人玩味。 For example, it would come as quite a surprise if they spent hours a day diving into the intricacies of perimeter defense, defensive rotations, and closing out on outside shooters. Why? 举个例子，如果他们每天有好几个钟头，是花在研究外围防守、补位轮转，和三分线 空档关门的技巧上，那可真让人大吃一惊了。 为什麽咧？ Because through 23 games, the Sixers are on pace to become the worst perimeter defensive team in NBA history - this according to the numbers, which can be twisted, of course, but never lie outright. If you're the coach of these Sixers, and that distinction belongs to Eddie Jordan, you're probably not including this statistical nugget on your holiday greeting card to general manager Ed Stefanski. Through 23 games, the Sixers are allowing 101.3 points a game; opponents have made 186 three-pointers at a rate of 41.3 percent. The record for highest opponent three-point percentage belongs to last season's Sacramento Kings - winners of 17 games, losers of 65 - who allowed 40.6 percent. 因为按照本季23场比赛的资料推算，七六人可能会成为NBA史上外围防守最烂的球队 --这是有数据基础的。当然，数据可以被扭曲操弄，但数据绝不会睁眼说瞎话。 如果你就是七六人总教练--这份荣耀目前归於达叔--你应该不会想把这份统计结果， 写进给总裁Ed Stefanski的耶诞节卡片里。 这23场比赛下来，七六人每场平均失分是101.3；至今，对手总共命中186颗三分球， 平均命中率是41.3%。 史上最惨的三分线"被"命中率记录，目前由上一季17胜65败的沙加缅度国王队所保持 ，是40.6%。 The Sixers are on pace to give up 663 three-pointers for the season, which would be the third-most in NBA history. Before Wednesday night, when the Detroit Pistons shot 1 for 8 from the three-point line, the Sixers were on pace to give up 691 three-pointers, which would be tops in NBA history. The record for most three-pointers allowed in a season belongs to the 2007-08 Washington Wizards, who allowed 683. The second-place spot belongs to the 2008-09 Wizards, who allowed 674 three-pointers. Jordan coached the Wizards from 2003 to November 2008. 按现有资料推算，七六人本季将"被"投进663颗三分球，在NBA史上排名第三惨。如果 不是周三比赛里，活塞队投8中1，这个数字会变成"被"投进691颗三分球，那将是史 上最糟糕。 翻开单季"被"投进三分球的最差记录--683颗--苦主赫然是2007-08年的华盛顿巫师队 ，而紧追在後的，则是2008-09年的巫师队，674颗。而2003年到2008年十一月间，巫 师队的总教练，叫做Eddie Jordan。 Last season, the Sixers allowed 92.1 points per game, 9.5 points per game fewer than they currently allow. These numbers are only hard evidence for what fans have deduced from watching: This team has gone from a solid defensive team - although never great at stopping the three - to a bad defensive team that can't stop the three. Plus - and this is a kicker - the Sixers can't score, resulting in a disturbing combination of bad offense and bad defense. The Sixers average 96.2 points a game, 24th of 30 NBA teams. Of those bottom eight scoring teams, the only one also surrendering more than 100 points a game is the Minnesota Timberwolves. Minnesota is 3-20, at the bottom of the Western Conference - bad company to be keeping. 上一季，七六人每场平均失分是92.1，比现在低了9.5分。 对亲眼看球的观众来说，这些数字只不过坐实了他们的感受：曾经堪称紮实的团队防 守--尽管三分线一向是罩门--现在已经烟消云散，三分地带更成了北港香炉。 不只如此--这点非常关键--七六人也不懂得分，换句话说，他们是防守差进攻也烂的 恐怖组合。七六人的每场平均得分是96.2分，在全联盟30队中排名第24。这些得分能 力垫底的八支球队当中，唯一一支每场失分也超过100分的，是明尼苏达灰狼。 灰狼的战绩是3胜20败，在西区敬陪末座--跟他们"同患难"并不值得骄傲。 How did this happen? The first answer that springs to mind is the Princeton offense: That thing casts a mighty wide shadow and gobbles an awful lot of practice time. The second answer is that Jordan, never known as a defensive coach, has seemed particularly overcommitted to the offensive side. The third is the rotations, which tend to exclude the team's best defenders and are often, at the end of games, much smaller than the opponent's. No move better represents this defense-second mentality than the addition of point guard Allen Iverson. The day Iverson signed, one NBA general manager relayed the following via text message: "And exactly how will the addition of Iverson help the league's 23rd worst defensive team?" It won't. But that isn't, and has never been, the primary concern. 怎麽会演变到这步田地？ 蹦出脑海的第一个答案是普林斯顿：这玩意造成球员心里一大负担，也占用大量的练 习时间。第二，达叔本来就不是注重防守的教练，现在更显得太过强调进攻端。第三 ，临场调度问题。全队最好的防守球员往往不得上场，而到了比赛尾声的决胜关键期 ，场上阵容又总是比对手矮小许多。 这种"防守能吃吗？"的决策考量，最明显的例子就是签下AI。Iveson签约当天，一位 NBA球队总裁用手机简讯传来这段话："AI的加盟对全联盟防守第23差的球队，会有什 麽帮助？" 答案是没有。但防守本来就不是教练最担心的问题。 Since Iverson's arrival, Jordan has said he will switch his team into a matchup zone to save Iverson's legs. A matchup zone isn't an aggressive defense, it's a defense in which you hop around as if you're doing jumping jacks and then eventually give up an open three-pointer. Jordan has also said that when point guard Lou Williams returns from his jaw injury, he would like to start a backcourt of Iverson and Williams because they would be a "high-scoring" combo. They would be. They'd also be the smallest starting backcourt in the NBA, neither guy known for his lockdown defense. Iverson报到後，达叔说过他会改守"区域盯人"，来节省AI的体力。区域盯人不是特 别积极的防守阵式，球员往往跳来跳去，好像在做jumping jack（超不整齐的jumping jack 范例影片：http://0rz.tw/5T3Fc），结果最终还是被投进一颗大空档三分。达 叔还说，当小威下颚伤势复原归阵之後，要让Iverson和小威搭配先发，形成"高得分" 後场双人组。 得分高没啥问题。他们同时还会是全NBA最矮小的先发後场，两个人也都不是什麽防守 悍将。 In the opening game of the season, the Orlando Magic made 16 three-pointers, blowing out the Sixers. At that time, Jordan said the perimeter defense was not yet a concern: It was one game, they made some tough shots. Give credit to the Magic. Since then, there has been a lot of credit doled out: to the Magic, the Boston Celtics, the Phoenix Suns, and the Utah Jazz. Jordan said after that first game that if it became a pattern, if it was still a concern after 15 or 20 games, then it would be addressed. Now, Jordan says, "We have to get better." Sixers fans, however many are left, would appreciate it. 还记得对奥兰多的开幕战吗？魔术以16颗三分球痛电七六人。当时达叔说，外围防守 不是问题：这只是个案，刚好投进一些特技球罢了。要给魔术应得的赞美。 从此，我们不断的赞美其他球队：魔术、塞尔提克、太阳、爵士。 开幕战败後达叔说：如果三分线变成一个长期的罩门，如果15、20场比赛後，还是个 问题，那球队会加以解决。 现在，达叔说："我们必须检讨改进。" 七六人球迷--无论还剩多少--应该会心存感激。 -- 酸意正浓。 --
