Contenders: Philadelphia 76ers Bynum anchors the middle, but youth must be served, and free throws shot Insider冠军竞争者系列：费城七六人 Bynum将在内线一柱擎天，但是年轻人必须成长、罚球线症候群必须被治癒。 By Tom Haberstroh | ESPN Insider http://tinyurl.com/c6tx5od Overview / 重点回顾 The Philadelphia 76ers were one of the biggest surprises last season. With a roster nearly untouched during the lockout, the Sixers were long on continuity and short on superstar talent. They jumped out to a sterling 16-6 record in the East while boasting the league's top defense for most of the season, thanks to Andre Iguodala's boa constrictor act on the perimeter. 七六人是去年 NBA 最惊奇的球队之一。他们在封馆之後保留了他们在 2011进入季後赛那年的大部分阵容。这个阵容让他们保留了一致与连贯 性，但是一样大家对於他们没有超级巨星这回事情一直保有疑惑。但是 他们在季初以秋风扫落叶之势的16-6开季狂扫东区，并且在整个球季都 在队长Andre Iguodala的努力之下，打出了联盟当中第一流的防守强度 与效率。 But was Philly a fluke or was it for real? A post-January slide confirmed that the Sixers weren't quite ready to contend with the Bulls and Heat for the East's top record. The Sixers finished the season on a 19-25 tailspin that almost knocked them out of the playoff race. Still, they managed to hold onto the 8-seed in the East. 到底这样的进步是真是假呢？过了一月之後至少可以认定他们还没有准 备好跟公牛或热火这样的顶级强队争雄的资本。七六人最後在剩下的比 赛当中缴出19-25的成绩单，而且差一点就进不了季後赛。当然最後关 头他们还是把公鹿抛下，以第八种子之姿闯入季後赛。 The Sixers played like the little brother desperate to prove that they could hang with the big boys. And for much of the season, they did. Heading into a first-round matchup against the mighty Chicago Bulls, the outlook wasn't looking so rosy. But that all changed when Derrick Rose suffered a season-ending knee injury in Game 1. The Sixers went on to win the series in six games and pushed the Boston Celtics to the brink in the Eastern Conference semifinals, before falling in seven games. 小小七六人就像是极度想证明自己能跟大孩子一样吊单杠的小男孩。而 他们的确在上个球季作到了。进入第一轮，面对巨人一般的芝加哥公牛 ，在普遍的想法中他们看起来几乎没有被乐观看待的理由。但是在玫瑰 在第一战因为十字韧带伤退之後，天平骤然的出现了变化。七六人最後 只用了六场球就淘汰了第一种子，并且在第二轮把过去的宿敌波士顿赛 尔蒂克逼入了第七场。 Considering this was a team in disarray at the tail end of the regular season, the postseason push could be viewed as a success for the blossoming squad. But even with youngsters Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner and Thaddeus Young set to return, the Sixers' front office wouldn't be satisfied with the status quo. 考虑他们在季末的混乱，他们在季後赛之路的成功可以看作是全队的努 力得到了开花结果一般的回报。但是即便是他们成功的一些要素，像是 年轻的Jrue Holiday/Evan Turner/Thaddeus Young都一如预期的留在 下个球季的球员名单上，七六人的制服组却显然没有对现状感到满足。 Additions / 引援 Welcome to the dawn of a new era in Philadelphia. The 76ers waved goodbye to Iguodala (traded to Denver), Elton Brand (cut via amnesty), Lou Williams (free agency), Jodie Meeks (free agency), Moe Harkless (traded to Orlando) and Nikola Vucevic (traded to Orlando). The newcomers? Andrew Bynum (traded from the Lakers), Nick Young (signed via free agency), Jason Richardson (traded from Orlando), Kwame Brown (signed via free agency) and Dorell Wright (traded from Golden State). Got all that? 欢迎来到旭日东昇的兄弟友爱之城。七六人跟一大堆人挥手再见，像是 Andre Iguodala(交易到丹佛)、Elton Brand(特赦)、Lou Williams(FA) 、Jodie Meeks(FA)、Moe Harkless(交易到奥兰多)还有Nikola Vucevic (交易到奥兰多)。 而新同学呢？Andrew Bynum(从洛杉矶换回)、Nick Young(FA)、Jason Richardson(从奥兰多换回)、Kwame Brown(FA)、Dorell Wright(从奥克 兰换回)。 你抓到其中的脉络了吗？ All's well that ends well. That's what you could take away from the 76ers' offseason, one that began with a rough patch and ended with one of the most valuable commodities in the game: a young All-Star center. Acquiring Bynum seemed to wash away any lingering doubts about Philadelphia's previous moves, including effectively spending $24.1 million for one season of Nick Young's services when you include the payout of Brand's $18.1 million (remember, they still have to pay him under amnesty rules). 只要结局是完美的，那过程就一切完美。一开始看七六人的休赛期的动 作只会觉得他们一团乱，但是他们最後零秒出手，换回了最有价值的标 的物：一个年轻的全明星中锋。引入Bynum瞬间让所有之前批评费城作 法粗糙不堪的苍蝇们通消失，甚至让花了24.1M的总支出去签下尼克羊 看起来都瞬间合情合理(千万不要忘记，七六人还必须付给Elton Brand 18.1M)。 While Bynum's work ethic and focus might fall under scrutiny at times, he remains one of the two or three best centers on the planet. After the All-Star break, Bynum went on a tear, averaging 21.2 points and 10.9 rebounds while shooting a blistering 56.9 percent from the floor. Next season will be the first in which he's the No. 1 option on offense, so it will be interesting to see how he deals with defensive schemes and double-teams that will inevitably come in his direction. 即便大多数人都认为Bynum的工作态度与专注程度必须要时常受到监督， 他仍然是地球表面上最强大的两到三个中锋之一。在全明星赛之後，电 车男孩缴出21.2分10.9篮板的惊人绩效，而且他的命中率是高标的56.9% 。下个球季他将会第一次在生涯中担任球队第一选择的工作，观察他如 何面对对手的针对性防守甚至不时而来且不可被避免的包夹。 Bynum is a game-changer, but his acquisition did come at a steep cost. The Sixers sent away arguably the best perimeter defender not named LeBron James in Iguodala -- a primary reason the Sixers were a top defense last season. They'll miss Brand as well, who, although perhaps overpaid, rated among the best defenders at his position in 2011-12. Bynum是个拥有能力去改变战场属性的球员，但是获得他的代价不斐。七 六人把他们最珍贵的资产，全联盟名字不叫做LeBron James的最强外围 防守球员 Andre Iguodala，而队长去年就是七六人在防守上取得最大成 功毫无疑问的主要因素。他们还会想念被他们特赦的老船长EB，就算他 的薪水是十足十的overpaid，但是不要忘记他在大前锋的位置上提供的 防守是全联盟最强悍的。 It also can't be ignored that the Sixers let Williams -- a guy who posted a higher PER than Monta Ellis, Deron Williams and Joe Johnson last season -- walk in free agency and replaced him with Young, who never saw a shot he didn't like despite posting a true shooting percentage well below the standard rate for a shooting guard. 你还不能不算上他们放掉了Lou Williams，去年他的PER还比Monta、 Deron、Joe Johnson还要高。取代他的则是Nick Young，相较他的条 件，他的真实命中率(TS%)惨不忍睹，甚至低於得分後卫的平均水准。 It'll be fascinating to see whether the Sixers can maintain their Iguodala-fueled defensive efficiency with Bynum now leading the way. Bynum had a freakishly low foul rate last season (lowest among centers), but the Los Angeles Lakers were not dominant on that end even with two 7-footers and defensive guru Mike Brown at the helm. It'll be a big test considering they'll ask him to erase Spencer Hawes' and Brown's mistakes when they play out of position at power forward. 观察七六人教练团如何解决将防守从Iguodala为中心的系统过度到以电 车男为中心的系统，绝对是一件很迷人的事情。以一个中锋来说，电车 男孩避免犯规的程度是异常的出众(联盟中锋当中第一名)，但是湖人在 拥有两个七尺长人与带回一向被认为是防守专家的教练Mike Brown後， 他们仍然无法创造出联盟一流的防守。以此为殷监，七六人必须想办法 解决当Bynum/Hawes或Bynum/Kwame同时上场时，Bynum多少要帮他们挽 救错误的状况。 Key personnel / 关键球员 All eyes will be on Bynum this coming season, but don't discount the variable of Holiday. The point guard hasn't taken the leap that many envisioned, but keep this in mind: Holiday is just one month older than the No. 6 pick in the 2012 draft, Damian Lillard. Holiday is still just 22 years old and has plenty of time to grow into an elite point guard. 当所有的焦点都聚焦在Bynum会为七六人带来什麽样的改变的同时，千 万不要忘记Jrue所能提供的变因。虽然Jrue在去年没有如同预期的破茧 而出，但是千万不要忘记，Holiday只比今年第六顺位加入拓荒者队的 潜力控球Damien Lillard大一个月；Holiday现在仍然只有22岁，而且 他还有足够的时间与潜力成长成一个顶尖的控球後卫。 How can he get there? Finding easy points is a start. Holiday will need to leverage his sharp shooting stroke into more attempts from downtown, rather than pulling up for long 2s like he so often does. He can also take the next step -- one similar to the one Rose took in his MVP season -- by drawing contact in the lane and netting more whistles from the refs. If Holiday does that and Bynum stays healthy, you can pencil the Sixers into the playoffs. 他要如何作到呢？找一些小细节来说明。Jrue必须要多投一点三分以求 不要浪费他优秀的手感所带来的贡献，更必需要避免投没有正面价值的 长距离两分。而且他需要更进一步提昇他切入要犯规的能力，就如同於 D-Rose在他MVP球季所做的准备一般。只要Jrue能同时作到这两点，而 电车男孩保持健康的话，你现在就可以把七六人写进季後赛名单了。 But in order for the Sixers to truly contend with the Heat in the East, Holiday won't be the only one needing a breakout season. Time is running out for Turner to prove he wasn't a colossal bust as the No. 2 pick in the 2010 draft. Like Holiday, Turner needs to cure his apparent allergy to the free throw line. Elsewhere, Thaddeus Young has the talent to win the starting gig at power forward (he posted a solid 18.9 PER last season), but can the team trust his relative lack of size? In a shrinking league, one would think that it makes more sense these days. 但是如果七六人希望成为热火真正意义上的挑战者，光靠Jrue的爆发是 不够的。留给Turner的时间已经不多，他必须尽全力去证明他当初榜眼 身价不是被看走眼。就像Jrue一样，Turner也必须去克服所谓的「罚球 线过敏症候群」。另外，Thad有着可以竞争先发大前锋位置的才华(他 去年的PER是非常不错的18.9)，但是七六人能够相信他持续克服有关身 材劣势的问题吗？不过在这个身高日益缩小的联盟当中，这也许不再是 个问题。 (按: Doug 早已把 Hawes 视为先发四号，因此Young应该还是从板凳出 发作为mismatch specialist专用) Telling stat / 关键数字 : 16.1 percent Last season, the 76ers posted a free throw rate (free throw attempts per field goal attempt) of 16.1 percent. How low is that? We haven't seen a team that scared of the free throw line in the history of the NBA. And the 76ers let the one guy who got to the free throw line best (Williams) walk this offseason. 上个球季，七六人在罚球率(FTA/FGA)是惊人的低：16.1%。这到底有 多低？NBA史上我们还没有看过任何一个球队比去年的七六人还要惧怕 上到罚球线。况且更糟的是(如果还不够糟的话)，七六人去年最会赖 犯规的Louis Williams已经离队了。 What needs to go right? / 如何成为一个真正的冠军竞争者？ How about everything? The Sixers won't contend with the Heat or sniff home-court advantage if their youngsters don't finally cash in on their potential. Holiday, Turner and both Youngs must find ways to make their games more dynamic, especially with a talent like Bynum anchoring the post. The 76ers might have the highest ceiling outside of the Heat, but the continuity that they enjoyed last season is all but gone. 我可以说他们所有面相都必须加强吗？如果他们的年轻球员没有办法 把他们的天赋兑现的话，不要说成为热火的竞争者，连取得主场优势 都是有些困难的。Jrue、Turner跟两只羊都必须去寻找一条进步之路 ，让他们的比赛内容变得更杰出，尤其是当Bynum这样的顶尖才华加 入之後，这些小朋友责无旁贷的必须爆发。现在这群年轻的七六人以 他们的天花板来看简直就是爆表，即便是热火也很难望其相背，但是 他们去年赖以成就开季高潮的阵容接续性将不复存在，他们必须去克 服一个新的系统。 This is a team that could scare the Heat inside with massive size, but that will only happen if their perimeter players take a massive step forward and give Miami a reason not to triple-team Bynum in the post. Bynum gives this team a rock-solid foundation, but the question marks in the backcourt should keep the Sixers from making noise in the East. 这将是一只有办法在真正意义上威胁热火内线短缺的球队，但是要达 成这样的高 渡，他们的外围後卫球员必须要更进一步，以便让热火在 面对电车男不至於用三夹招呼他(按:这好像去年湖人比赛常常看到..)。 Bynum让这个球队有了一个更坚实的根基，但是後场的问号们将会是限 缩七六人是否能在东区更进一步的决定性因素。 --
