[外電] BQS problems (一節爆症頭)
Fan reaction: Lackluster win over Bucks doesn't answer
Chicago Bulls’"BQS”problems
By Steve Merritt, http://tinyurl.com/4mrlrqh
Despite an impressive 31-14 record, Blown Quarter Syndrome - yes, the dreaded
BQS - is costing the Chicago Bulls wins.
After beating the Milwaukee Bucks Monday night in Chicago, the Bulls, are
just 10 games away from the total number of victories achieved last year
(41). But that 31-14 record could be better - potentially much better - if
the Bulls and coach Tom Thibodeau could find a cure for BQS.
BQS - one of my own statistics - is defined as a quarter in which a team is
outscored by 10 or more points in a game it loses by 10 points or less. BQS
has struck the Bulls nine times this year; all nine were winnable games.
筆者定義 BQS症頭 乃 單節輸10分以上
The most painful case of BQS hit the Bulls in San Antonio earlier this
season. The Bulls had a 17-point first half lead, but collapsed in the third
quarter, getting outscored 37-12. End result: A stinging 103-94 loss. Sure,
the Spurs are a great team and deserve credit for the comeback, but it takes
two to tango, and the Bulls just didn't dance in that third quarter.
BQS also hit the Bulls in two losses to Boston - including a 110-105 overtime
loss in Boston - and in losses to Oklahoma City, the Knicks, Clippers, Nets,
Sixers and Bobcats. Those nine losses sure would look good on the other side
of the ledger; if the Bulls won all nine (unlikely but possible), their
record would be an NBA best 40-5.
A key problem is when BQS chooses to strike. Thibodeau stresses fast starts,
yet five of the Bulls' BQS quarters have occurred in the first and third
frames. Guess what? Get outscored by 25 or even 12 points in a quarter, and
you'll have to expend more energy to catch up and put your team in a position
to win. And expending energy to play catch up now causes tired legs later.
今年14敗有9敗是有一節爆 9敗中又有5場是發生在第一跟第三節
The Bulls now get a much needed three-day break (their first of the season)
before playing back-to-back games Friday and Saturday nights against Orlando
and Indiana. Hopefully, BQS will be at the top of Thibodeau's practice plans,
as the Bulls cannot join the league's truly elite as long as it suffers from
BQS.
