The top 5 reasons for Cavs’ fans to look forward to the playoffs By James Pete | March 8th, 2008 騎士球迷期待季後賽的五大原因 The Cleveland Cavaliers are a team in transit. That may be the understatement of the century after the 11-player deal that saw 4 new players take the place of 6 departures. Most agree that the players that were added, at the bare minimum, will give the Cavaliers better spacing to allow LeBron James more room to get the job done. Some believe that when this group finally becomes a team, they could challenge the Pistons and Celtics for the top spot in the East when it’s all said and done. 正在過渡時期的克里夫蘭騎士隊，或許是可以把此事歸咎於前陣子的那宗交易案。認為換掉了六名舊有球員，而加入了四名新血的騎士隊，會讓LBJ有更多在場上發揮的空間。有些人則認為，這群人能夠磨合成功的話，將能夠衝擊活塞以及賽爾提克東區兩強。 The new players have had their struggles fitting into the system. This, combined with injuries to Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Anderson Varejao, Sasha Pavlovic and Daniel Gibson, have left the Cavs in a state of flux. Fortunately for Cleveland, LeBron James doesn’t deal well with Flux. Fortunately for LeBron, come playoff time, this team should be ready to showcase it’s new look. Let’s take a look at the top five reasons why Cleveland should be a force in the playoffs: 這四名新血在融入系統前都將有各自的掙扎。這還加入了大Z、大V、Sasha以及小吉受傷的因素在內。LBJ對於變遷向來處理的不怎麼好，不過，越接近季後賽，這支球隊會準備好嶄露頭角。下面是季後賽騎士隊的五大看球重點： 5. The Frontcourt has the potential to be one of the best in the NBA, and should be at full strength come playoff time 伍、我們強大的前場，有潛力成為NBA最佳前場之一，而且在季後賽應該會展現威力 When this unit gets healthy, and Mike Brown finds the right rotation, it’s going to be the best in the East. Zydrunas Ilgauskas is the offensive piece to this puzzle. When healthy, he possesses a solid outside game, is a good garbage player, and can rebound. His forte isn’t defense, but he’s the guy that can keep the big men honest defensively. He’s also the heart and soul of the team. If Z is the heart of the team, than Anderson Varejao is the soul. AV can defend for sure, dives for every ball, and keeps the Cavs moving when on the court. His offensive game is equal to a box full of nothing. Ben Wallace should be bringing some defensive menace to this team. His offensive game is reminiscent of Varejao’s, but that isn’t why the Cavaliers traded for the forward. He brings defense and rebounding. He also brings a presence. We haven’t seen it yet, but it’s there. Joe Smith is the ultimate professional. He has a decent offensive game, can rebound, and fits into any system. He’s a guy with experience, who will help in crunch time. It’s uncertain how Mike Brown will use these four, but it’s believed that he’ll have to have either Z or Smith on the floor, with either Varejao or Wallace. Z and Smith on the floor will leave a bit of a defensive hole underneath, while Varejao and Wallace on the court at the same time leaves LeBron open to triple coverage because their offense is so bad. This will be a frontline that should give Boston and Detroit fits. 當我們的陣容健康時，而Mike大哥又能找到恰當的陣容輪替，我們會是東區最佳。大Z扮演的是進攻的腳色，健康時提供穩定外線，也有攪和功力跟籃板。他的專長並非防守，但他可以讓對方大個安分守己。同樣的大Z也是騎士隊的重心(讓我想到鍵盤上的Z)。如果大 Z是重心，那大V肯定是靈魂。AV(XD)可以防守、奮力撲向每一球，並且讓騎士隊充滿活力，但是他的攻擊力大概趨近於零。大班會帶給騎士隊防守上的嚇阻力，但他的進攻能力大概趨近於大V，不過這不是交易他來的重點。老喬是個職業球員，進攻火力十足，籃板好又可以隨時融入任何系統。Mike大哥除了23號戰術之外，還不太知道怎麼用這四人。但是外界相信他會用大Z或老喬，搭配大V或大班。一進攻一防守的陣容同時兼顧了進攻兩人防守上的漏洞，也補上了防守組進攻上的缺陷。 4. The Point Guard play will be vastly improved, and varied enough to put opposing defenses on their heals 肆、控球後衛大進步，而且會對對方防守造成壓力。 That’s right, I said it. Delonte West and Daniel Gibson aren’t the strongest part of the Cavaliers, but they will be certainly be a major factor, and finally, an asset to this ballclub. Both guards bring some similarities and differences. West and Gibson are both hybrid guards, who have both spent time as both shooting guards and point guards. Both seem to have defensive issues. Past that, the similarites end. West跟小吉不是騎士隊最強的一環，但是他們的影響力卻很大，而且還是騎士隊重要的資產。兩個後衛都是混種後衛，又打得分又打控球，而且在防守上都有點問題，兩者的相同處僅於此。 When West is in the game, he’s most certainly a pass first guard, who seems to have meshed well with LeBron. He’s not a sharpshooter, but can attack the basket. West is a pace-setter. He’s a guy that’s going to get the ball and push the defense. It’s that kind of play that’s going to keep opponents on their heals. 當West上場時，傳球總是第一選擇，這跟LBJ倒是蠻合的。West不是超準的射手，但是他卻提供了進攻籃框的能力。這會造成對方防守時的壓力，畢竟West很喜歡調整步驟並且推進。 Gibson is a different offensive player. He’s more methodical with the ball, and certainly, more apt to take a shot. He also has meshed well with LeBron, but of course, who doesn’t. Gibson’s bread and butter is his shooting. If he finds his range, he’ll tear your heart art from behind the arc. Seeing West and Gibson alternating at the point guard spot should be fun to watch. What will really be interesting is when they are on the court together. It won ’t happen often, but look for it in certain offensive situations. They could bring havoc to an opponent’s defense. 小吉的進攻就完全不一樣了。有條有理的打法，更傾向於投籃。同樣的跟LBJ很合，不過，誰跟他不合過了？(才剛把人家換掉就忘了) 小吉的三分線找到感覺了，他就會把你射爆。看West跟小吉交替打控衛應該會很爽，但是最有趣的應該會是兩人同時上場的時候，這應該不會常發生，但是在特殊的情況下可能會發生。他們可能會對對方的防守帶來很大的破壞。 3. Cleveland might have the best depth in the league, once healthy 參、一但健康，騎士隊可能是最有深度的一支球隊。 At center, the Cavs can play four different players if they wanted to, in Smith, Wallace, Varejao and Ilgauskas. At power forward, the Cavs four guys, in Wallace, Varejao, Smith and LeBron. At small forward the Cavs have three guys in Wally Szczerbiak, Sasha Pavlovic and of course, LeBron. At small guard, you could have Szczerbiak, Pavlovic, Devin Brown, Damon Jones, Daniel Gibson, and Delonte West. The point position could be filled with Gibson, West, DJones, DBrown and even LeBron in a pinch. For those counting at home, that’s 11 players in the mix. It’s likely that only 9 will be in the rotation come playoff time…but it’s equally as likely, it will be a rotation that’s as good as the Cavs have had in nearly 20 years. 中鋒位置，騎士隊可以有四個不同球員來輪替。大前鋒也有四個(包含LBJ)。小前鋒也有三個，二號位有六種選擇，而在控球則有五種選擇甚至是用到LBJ。搞的大家都混亂了，其實也就是11個球員輪五個位置啦，看似到季後賽應該會用其中九人去輪。但同時看起來也會是近20年來騎士隊的最佳陣容。 2. The Cavs finally have outside shooting 貳、騎士終於有外線啦!!!!!!!! With Donyell Marshall, Ira Newble and Larry Hughes gone from this team, there is more opportunity for player that can actually score from outside. Enter Wally Szczerbiak, the aforementioned Daniel Gibson and believe it or not, Damon Jones. Both Jones and Gibson are shooting well above 40% from behind the arc. Szczerbiak is at 38% for the Cavaliers, but should improve. Here’s all that needs to be said. If these three continue to shoot around, or better than 40%, LeBron James will destroy teams, and yeah, I mean even more than normal. There’s no reason to think that it WON’T continue. 去掉了馬大叔、牛伯伯、休斯的隊伍，有更多從外線得分的機會了。加入了帥哥帥比亞克再加上前面談到的小吉還有「宇宙第一射手」DJ，後兩人今年三分命中率都遠遠超過4成。帥哥大約有3成8，但應該還會進步。假設這三人能夠撐住外線火力，LBJ會發揮更大破壞力。 1. LeBron James is entering a new level of play. 壹、LBJ進入了一個新的領域 (謎之音：難道是零的領域...|||) It almost appears as though this deal was made at an interesting intersection in LeBron’s professional life. LeBron is in the middle of his greatest season , that’s not a question. When Danny Ferry pulled of the deal, you could almost feel LeBron come out of his skin in excitement. Of course, before the trade, LeBron was on his way to his second straight Eastern Conference player of the month award. Since the deal, LeBron’s averaging nearly 35 points per game, 7 1/2 assists a game, and 7 1/2 boards. He’s shooting over 50% from the field. This very well could be the beginning of LeBron James going from a special player, to a transcendental player.*[m 這宗交易案確實是發生在LBJ生涯的一個有趣的轉折點上。正在經歷他生涯最佳的過程中，費禿突然之間來了個震驚全球的交易案，你可以看出LBJ的驚喜。在交易之前，LBJ正在迎接他連續第二個月的東區最佳球員。自從交易後，他每場平均得分接近35分、傳出7.5 助攻，並抓下7.5個籃板。此外他的命中率超過了5成 (這妖怪麻...)。這可以說是LBJ從一個特殊的球員走向超人類的開始。 If we thought LeBron did something special in last year’s playoffs, we may be on the precipice of something even bigger. 如果我們認為去年季後賽LeBron做了很特別的事情，我們更應該期待今年會有更大的事件發生。 *** No, the Cavaliers aren’t a team yet…but when they are… -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.113.141.168
