Opening Tip: Jared Jeffries' effectiveness March, 22, 2012 4:08PM ET By Jared Zwerling Every weekday morning throughout the season, ESPNNewYork.com will tackle a burning question about the Knicks in our "Opening Tip" segment. Today's Burning Question: How will Jared Jeffries' short-term absence impact the Knicks? JJ短暫的缺席將會對尼克造成何種影響呢? Against the Sixers Wednesday night, the Knicks' backup center aggravated his right knee, which caused him to miss four straight games in early March due to soreness, and he had to get it drained twice. Now, Jeffries will miss Friday night's game in Toronto and possibly Saturday as well, when the Knicks host the Pistons. 在這禮拜三對戰76人的比賽中，替補中鋒JJ右膝的傷又再次惡化。 上次右膝的傷已經造成JJ三月初時連續四場比賽的缺席，並且兩次需將膝蓋的積水抽出。 而這次的再次受傷，將確定JJ不會在禮拜五，甚至禮拜六的比賽中出席。 Here are three areas where the Knicks need Jeffries: (這裡將提出尼克需要JJ的三點主要原因。) 1.) Defensively. While the stats show that Jeffries' impact on defense hasn't been as significant during the Knicks' five-game winning streak, that's a big credit to the starters putting the clamp down earlier in the first quarter and maintaining that hold throughout the game. But the season numbers prove that Jeffries is a big part of what the Knicks do defensively, especially guarding the screener in pick-and-rolls and altering shots by the basket. 1.) 防守端. 雖然最近武連勝的數據中，並沒有顯示出JJ對於尼克隊防守上的重要性。 但是當先發球員在第一節就遇到犯規麻煩的時候(或指需要換人時)， 有他的替補並且維持整個局勢這部分，相對給予尼克很大的苦(功)勞。 而整個賽季的數據，更是說明了JJ對於尼克隊防守端上有很大的幫助。 尤其在於防守對方使用P&R時，對於單擋者的防守，且搗亂對方攻擊籃框。 Here's a breakdown: Knicks With And Without Jeffries On The Court Per 48 Minutes This Season (尼克在場上每48分鐘用有JJ沒JJ區分出來的防守數據。) With | Without Defensive efficiency -- 95.0 | 99.6 (lower the better) Opponents' field goal percentage -- 43.0 | 44.8 Opponents' effective field goal percentage -- 45.6 | 46.8 Opponents' turnover percentage -- 20.1 | 16.9 (higher the better) Source: ESPN Stats & Info 2.) Offensive rebounding. In the last five games with Jeffries' on the court, the Knicks had a 34.8 offensive rebounding rate (compared to a 31.1 without hm). For the season, the Knicks have a slight advantage with Jeffries on the court (a 26.9 offensive rebounding rate vs. 26.6 when he's not in the game). In the Knicks' last five games, the increased offensive rebounding has led to more second-chance scoring. Their 13.0 offensive boards per game (sixth-best in the NBA during that stretch) has ignited them to score 15.2 second-chance points per game (also sixth-best in the league). Jeffries is a great backup to Chandler because he maintains that same high level of aggressiveness as soon as he enters the game. Chandler and Jeffries are two of the most serious, no-nonsense guys on the team and it comes through in the way they play right away. 2.) 進攻籃板. 近五場比賽(武連勝期間) 有JJ時，進攻籃板比率為34.8 (+3.7) 無JJ時，進攻籃板比率為31.1 (-3.7) 有JJ時，防守籃板比率為26.9 (+0.3) 無JJ時，防守籃板比率為26.6 (-0.3) (這不知道怎麼算的請高手指點。) 武連勝期間，尼克隊比以往抓到更多進攻籃板並且製造更多再次得分的機會。 而這段時間尼克隊以場均13.0個進攻籃板與15.2分的二次進攻數據皆為聯盟第六名。 這邊原文還說到，筆者認為JJ跟T.C是同等級的防守強度。 而他們倆都是隊上最認真且最有防守觀念的球員。 3.) Taking charges. Jeffries is far and away the best Knick at taking charges. He has 10 charges drawn on the season, while Chandler is second with three. Below are the top five leaders on the Knicks and a breakdown of the NBA's best in this category. 3.) 進攻犯規maker. 毫無疑問的JJ是整個尼克隊中最會挖洞給對方跳的進攻犯規MAKER。 以數據來看，目前他以10次樂勝第二名的T.C有7次之多。 Knicks' Charges Drawn Leaders 10 -- Jared Jeffries 3 -- Tyson Chandler 2 -- Jeremy Lin 2 -- J.R. Smith 2 -- Amare Stoudemire NBA Charges Drawn Leaders 29 -- DeMarcus Cousins (Kings) 18 -- Nick Collison (Thunder) 16 -- Marc Gasol (Grizzlies) 16 -- Jermaine O'Neal (Celtics) 15 -- Marcin Gortat (Suns) 14 -- Thaddeus Young (Sixers) 13 -- Udonis Haslem (Heat) 12 -- Ivan Johnson (Hawks) 12 -- Jason Maxiell (Pistons) 12 -- Markieff Morris (Suns) 12 -- Luis Scola (Rockets) 12 -- Marreese Speights (Grizzlies) 12 -- John Wall (Wizards) Source: The Elias Sports Bureau 說著說著，好像JJ沒出席這禮拜五六的比賽會有點小抖。 希望合體完畢的尼克隊能夠順利連勝下去。 也祝JJ早日康復。 PS:雖然JJ新人時來KNICKS約很肥?! 但今年的薪水怎麼還會比balkman少。冏 -- Julius Caesar：『I come 、I see、I conquer。』 http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/kenny7244/ --
