That's right: their defense. 当星期一美国队以连珠炮一般的三分让阿根廷真的去哭泣了之後， 很明显有个重要的元素是美国队金牌之路必须倚重的。 你猜对了，是防守。 What? You thought shooting 40 3-pointers was a bad thing? Think again. Not when your team is stacked with elite 3-point shooters. On Monday, Kevin Durant and Chris Paul became the latest Americans to register a blistering shooting display, making 8-of-10 and 5-of-6 3-pointers respectively. In all, Team USA made 20 of their 40 shots from downtown. During the 30th Olympiad, Team USA is shooting 46.6 percent beyond the arc. 你说什麽？ 你该不会认为一场在三分线後面操枪四十次是一件坏事吧？ 动动你的小脑袋想一想，当你的队上挤满了可以射三分的长枪短枪的时候， 射三分不会变成一件人人喊打的事情，不要把他们当作581。 Durant跟CP3在对上阿根廷的时候， 已经成为美国队最新认证的疯狂射手， 他们在三分线上射下了 13/16 这样令人敬佩的可怕数字。 美国队这场在三分线上出手四十次，并且命中了令人胆寒的20枚三分。 在这次伦敦奥运，美国队团队到目前为止有着 46.6% 这样令人靠北的命中率。 A quick exercise in simple mathematics: Since 3-pointers obviously are worth one more point than 2-pointers, each made basket is worth 50 percent more on the bottom line. So shooting 20-of-40 from downtown on Monday is the equivalent of shooting 75 percent, or 30-for-40, on 2-pointers. That's a winning exchange every day. Sure, Team USA might not shoot the lights out every game, but with Paul, Kevin Durant, Kevin Love, Kobe Bryant, and so on and so forth, Team USA is as good of a 3-point threat as any team in the competition. If anything, perimeter shooting is a strength, not a weakness. 来作个小小地算术应用题： 在三分球的价值明显大於两分球时， 在线後你预期价值显然当场比线前大 50% (按:当然是在FIBA三分线) 所以当你在三分线上射下 20/40 的时候， 你可以当作你的效率等同於在中距离区射下 30/40， 对於胜负来说，这是一个非常重要差距。 当然，美国队可能在三分线上突然之间出现冷感， 造成潜在的胜负风险(按:就有如对上立陶宛那场的惊魂记) 但是当你队上有CP3, Durant, Love, Kobe 跟其他族繁不及备载的加农炮时， 美国队将会被期待是一个不断能在三分线後造成队手巨大威胁的球队。 无论如何，三分线对美国队来说是个优势而不是劣势。 A cold shooting night will probably happen sooner or later, but they should be able to weather the storm if that happens. Emphasis on "should." That's because Team USA's defense should be competent enough to compensate for an inevitable shooting slump one of these days. But they haven't played nearly up their abilities in recent games. Certainly not what we were expecting. 一个晚上的冷却可能早来，可能迟来，甚至可能是不得不来， 但是他们应该提早对可能的台风来袭做好防台准备， 重点在：应该。 (should.) 那是因为美国队的防守强度， 有能力在球队面临不可必免得手感冷却时， 提供坚强的保险。 但是他们到现在为止仍然没有打出令大家满意的防守， 至少对照他们的能力来说，他们可以做得更好。 而这样的不足并到目前未能克服， 很明显是我们所料想不到的。 Bench Kobe, play Iguodala 所以让 Kobe 坐板凳吧，解放 Iguodala ！！ No, the real obstacle that Team USA must hurdle as they enter the single-elimination tournament on Wednesday is their suddenly porous defense, one that has allowed 196 points in their last two games to Lithuania and Argentina. How bad is that? First, note that the international rules allow only 40 minutes for each game. Surrendering an average of 98 points in a 40-minute game is the equivalent of allowing about 118 points in an NBA-regulation 48-minute game. For comparison, that's 14.2 points worse than what the lowly Sacramento Kings relinquished in 2011-12. 眼前美国队必须坚决跨越的巨大绊脚石是： 当淘汰赛近在眼前时，他们漏洞百出的防守将带来不小的麻烦， 这样的防守问题不荣被忽视，他们过去两场加起来失分， 是令人呼吸停止的 196 分。 这问题有多严重？ 首先，FIBA Games 一场只有打 40 分钟。 你在 40 分钟失分是 98 分就等於在 NBA 一场失分 118 分。 给你一个比例尺吧，如果你需要的话， 这比去年最糟糕的沙加缅度国王队还要多 14.2 分。 From the looks of it, the pace has been accelerated in the Olympics, but Team USA has enough weapons in Andre Iguodala, LeBron James and Tyson Chandler to stifle their opponent each and every night. From here on out, there won't be a Tunisia or a Nigeria to suffocate in the halfcourt. But the issue is that the weapons haven't been on the court. That's for two reasons. One, Team USA coach Mike Kryzyzewski continues to play Bryant ahead of Iguodala even though the latter has played far more impactful basketball on both ends of the floor. Second, James and Chandler have found themselves in some foul trouble. 当然这只是直观处理简单的数字， 没有加计美国队在奥运刻意提高的攻守速度， 但是美国队在防守工具箱中有着像是 Andre Iguodala, LeBron James 与 Tyson Chandler 这样的高手， 能够每天晚上对敌人进行窒息式的防守。 至少从现在开始，你再也没有突尼西亚跟奈及利亚当你的对手了， 防守强度的加强将是一个刻不容缓的课题。 但是问题在於这些工具不一定有机会长时间待在场上。 原因有两个： 首先是，Coach K持续让 Kobe Bryant 先发， 尽管 Iguodala 在这次奥运攻守两端的效率与影响都大於近况疲软的Kobe， 但是只要 Kobe 被放在 Iguodala 前面的一天， Iguodala 的上场时间就必须迁就当天 Kobe Bryant 的状况。 再者， James 跟 Chandler 在这次奥运都明显暴露在犯规麻烦的风险当中。 As for the Iguodala-Bryant dilemma, it's important to remember that Iguodala morphs into a different player for Team USA than he is on the Philadelphia 76ers. He doesn't have to be a No. 1 scoring option for Team USA and he can dedicate himself to playing the dual role of asphyxiating his opponent and dunking over everyone in the open court (even if his slams don't always count, as we saw on Monday). The 33-year-old Bryant, who has missed 13 of his last 17 shots, isn't spry enough to apply himself on the defensive end like he used to. And with Team USA scoring a gazillion points offensively, they can withstand the dip in offensive production. On Monday, Iguodala outscored Bryant 13 points to Bryant's 11 while also collecting nine boards. In all, due to Team USA's high-scoring personnel, the squad's chances would likely improve with the defensive-oriented Iguodala eating up more minutes at shooting guard. 在 Iggy-Kobe 在 Rotation 上的两难上， 必须记得 Iguodala 在美国队与在费城的比赛内容与任务是完全不同的。 在美国队他并不需要勉强自己作为第一进攻点， 而且他能够将自己的打法转换为专心致志於大幅度限缩对手的进攻效率， 并且制造大量 Open Court 机会，并且让大家看到他多会扣。 (虽然他不是每次灌篮都会被算分，就如同今天大家所见的*笑*： http://enrico.blogs.com/files/iguodala.gif2.gif ) Kobe Bryant (33) 在过去的十七次出手中投失了十三球， 在防守端也没办法维持像是过去一样的活力。 当美国队的得分就像尼加拉瓜大瀑布一样倾泻而下时， 没有让 Kobe Bryant 上场并不会让他们的进攻效率损失太多。 对上阿根廷的时候，Kobe 只拿了十一分，还比Iguodala少了两分， Iguodala甚至在二十分钟就拉下了九个篮板。 总的来说，当美国队的军火库当中充满了满满的选择时， 让防守取向的Iguodala吃下二号位上更多的时间， 似乎是个更好的选择，并且确实为他们每天晚上的赢球机会提供保险。 Foul trouble 犯规麻烦的巨大影响 Foul trouble is another potential downfall for Team USA, but we already knew that heading into the Olympics. With Dwight Howard's absence, the American squad simply can't afford to absorb Chandler, the reigning 2011-12 NBA Defensive Player of the Year, finding himself in foul trouble. On Monday, he did. With four fouls in about 12 minutes of action, Chandler was forced to watch much of the second half from the bench -- along with James, a 2011-12 defensive player of the year candidate, who was also hit with four fouls. Chandler has to watch his foul tally as they enter tournament time; for the opening five games, he's averaging 6.7 fouls every 40 minutes. International rules call for disqualification after five fouls. 犯规麻烦是美国队可能出状况的另外一个部份， 但是在奥运开始之前我们就已经预见了这样的问题。 当球队当中没有 Dwight Howard 的时候， 美国队显然无法承受年度最佳防守球员 Chandler 失去上场时间的伤害。 星期一就是个好例子，12分钟四次犯规的惊人效率， 让 Chandler 被迫在板凳上看完大部分的比赛， 而更令人悲惨的是，他看比赛还有个伴， 另外一个年度最佳防守球员候选人 LeBron James 跟他依偎在板凳一角， 他身上也有着四次犯规。 在进入淘汰赛时，Chandler必须认真想办法以节制他的犯规次数， 在循环赛的五场比赛中，他平均每四十分钟有着惊人的 6.7 次犯规， 而在 FIBA 的赛场上，四十分钟最多只能五次犯规..... Team USA could turn up the aggression on defense for short spurts while Chandler sits on the bench, but as their sole real rim presence, they can't survive without him on the court and their ultra-small lineups with James at the center slot. Kevin Love will have to step up, as will Anthony Davis, if Team USA wants to prosper going forward. Ultimately, it won't matter if Team USA has a cold shooting night one of these days. As long as Iguodala and Chandler can anchor the struggling defense, they should be the last team standing when it's all said and done in London. 美国队当然有能力在短时间内不倚靠 Chandler， 仍然能够打出具有侵略性的防守， 但是当真正的关键时刻时， 他们并没有办法在失去球队唯一的禁区吓阻力量时， 靠着 LeBron James 代打中锋真正渡过难关。 如果美国队想要在伦敦获得真正的成功， Kevin Love 与 Anthony Davis 必需要能够挺身而出负担重责大任。 结论是：手感冷热并不是美国队能不能赢球的问题所在。 只要 Iguodala 跟 Chandler 的上场时间能够提高， 并且贡献他们的能力以挽救美国队这两场比赛令人惊讶的防守空窗， 他们仍然会是在颁奖台上最後一个被唱名的球队。 -- 翻译这文章绝无贬低任何美国队成员之意，请勿多作联想 谨此只希望大家参考更多材料之後能帮助大家更了解美国队的比赛内容， 以上。 --
