http://www.sacbee.com/kings/story/2360147.html Change isn't easy. Change is even harder when it's something you've done as long as you can remember playing basketball. 改變並不容易，特別是你還記得怎麼打籃球，那就更難了。 That change indeed came to Tyreke Evans' jump shot during the NBA Summer League last July. And it was a change the Kings' coaching staff believed needed to be made. 去年七月，TE在夏季訓練營就有在改投籃姿勢，教練團深信這是必要的。 Evans shot the ball similar to how a soccer player might inbound the ball from the sideline – by bringing the ball behind his head. His new shot would be more efficient and not have Evans bringing the ball behind his head. TE投籃時把球舉在側身、而且會在頭的後面，就像發邊線球的足球員一樣(他的哥哥們怎麼亂教一通啊= =)。TE的新姿勢比較有效率，而且再也不用把球舉到腦後。 A proficient outside shot is the final piece in making Evans what teammate Omri Casspi calls the "whole package." The shot is looking better, and early in his NBA career Evans is showing signs he will evolve into a decent shooter from the perimeter. 精準的外圍投射是TE僅剩需要努力的部分，在那之後就像小卡說的，他就五所不能了。TE 的投射愈來愈好，才剛開始打NBA，他已經快要進入射手這個領域了。 Evans' shot was a function of just being small. "As a kid I could never reach the basket, so I would just put it up as high as I could and use all my strength," Evans said. "Because I was already strong when I was younger. So that's one of the reasons I shoot like that now." The tweak to Evans' shooting motion was to have him keep the ball in front of his face and not change his release. 以前TE的投籃就只是把自己縮成一團。「我小時候沒辦法碰到籃框，所以我盡可能的把球舉高、然後使出吃奶的力氣去投」TE說。「但當我稍大我就已經蠻強壯了，那是為什麼我這樣投籃的原因之一。」改變他投籃姿勢的首要之務就是要他把球放在頭前，而且到投出都不要變。(這段翻得有點矛盾矛盾的= =) "I think what happens when you're young is you need to do that to be able to shoot with any range," said Kings coach Paul Westphal. "He needed more arm motion, but as he's getting older he's learning his shot comes more from the legs. 教練說話了，「小時候為了要投中長距離就會變成這樣，你需要更多手臂的力量，但是長大後必需學會用腳的力量來投球。」 "You don't have to bring the ball back behind your head like you did when you were smaller. We just really tweaked it. We're not trying to change it drastically." Assistant coach Pete Carril has been charged with much of the work in regard to Evans' jumper. That includes working with Evans after practice on maintaining consistent form. 「你不必像小時候把球舉到後面來投，這只需要一點點扭轉，不用動那麼大。」投籃保證班班主任負責指導TE的跳投，他們在練習完都還留下來橋出手姿勢。 "I think it's getting better," Carril said. "According to coach Paul, from where it was, he's seen some improvement. I wish he'd work a little harder at it because the potential for that kid is immense. "There's not a thing he won't be able to do once he sets his mind to it – I don't care what it is. Every aspect of the game, he has the potential to be good at every one, and that's not easy." 班主任說，「總教練說比以前有進步，我希望他能更認真一點，因為他的潛力無窮。」「只要他下定決心，他就做得到任何事，包括球賽的各個面向。當然，這並不容易。」 Evans said he takes about 1,000 shots on a day of practice while trying to focus on proper form. A good number of those shots come after practice with Carril working with him on shooting from different areas. TE說他每天投1000球來維持一個比較好的姿勢。受班主任指導後，這些跳投變準了。 "I'm just trying to keep (the ball) in front of me as much as possible and keep the same release," Evans said. "I'm getting the hang of it now. The shot's falling, so hopefully I keep working hard at it and the shots keep going in." TE說，「我只是試圖把球留在頭的前面然後維持固定的出手。我現在還做得不夠好，希望以後會更進步。」 Evans made 27.4 percent of his three-pointers in his lone season for the University of Memphis. Fifteen games into his NBA career, Evans has made 32.3 percent from behind the longer three-point line. Overall, Evans is shooting 44.6 percent from the field. Westphal has never publicly expressed any concern over Evans' shooting. In fact, he has always said Evans was a much better shooter than he'd been given credit for. TE在孟大的三分球命中率27.4，進NBA後三分線更遠，但命中率變成32.3，整體命中率 44.6。總教練沒有公開評論過TE的投籃，事實上，他總是誇獎TE做得比預期更好。 Westphal pointed out many elite players have become much better shooters as professionals. "You can find story after story of players that really, really improved their shot once they got to the NBA," Westphal said. "One of the reasons is, at the lower level these guys are so good they didn't have to shoot outside. So if (defenders) can't play them, why shoot jumpers?" 總教練指出很多球員在進入職業後變成更準的射手。「這已經有很多例子了，其中一個原因就是，在比較低階的球賽裡他們不需要做外圍跳投就大殺四方了。」 Evans said shooting was never a problem for him in high school. He seemed genuinely surprised when he started the season with some shooting struggles. He didn't attribute any of those struggles to the new shooting form. TE說高中時期投籃對他不是個問題，他很驚訝他會遇到一些投籃的困難。但他沒有把練習新姿勢歸因到這些困難上。 "I don't know what it was, but in high school I was a great shooter," Evans said. "I was one of the best three-point shooters on my team. I went to Memphis and my coach (John Calipari) wanted me to drive the ball all the time and I kind of forgot about my jump shot. I have to work on it again, but it's getting better, though." And don't think anyone wants Evans to forget that his ability to get to the basket off the dribble is something that makes him special. 「我不知道怎麼回事，但我高中是個好射手，」TE說。「我是隊上最好的三分球射手之一。我到孟大後，教練要我持球進攻，所以我可能有點忘了怎麼投球了(投球失憶症XD)，我需要把感覺重新找回來，不過現在愈來愈好了。」當然大家也不希望他因此忘記他的招牌 - 持球進攻籃框。 "His penetration is so good, a jump shot for him is secondary," Casspi said. "He's so strong and can get to the rim, and there aren't a lot of guys that can get to the rim the way he does. For him to settle for a jump shot, the defense wins in my opinion." A reliable jump shot is what will put defenders in a quandary. Do they back off Evans and take their chances that he will be more of a liability from the outside? 「他的切入太強大了，跳投對他來講是第二選擇，」總教練說。「他夠壯去挑戰籃框，沒有幾個人可以像他這樣做到。如果有人做到讓他跳投那防守就算成功了。」如果跳投練起來的話，防守者會更苦惱該怎麼守。 If he continues to improve from the perimeter, the Kings believe Evans has a chance to become a special player. "That's what makes players great, when you have the other team scratching their heads," Westphal said. "Everybody can take away something, but you can't take away everything. If you round your game out where you always have something to go to if they take something away, that's how you become an All-Star." 如果TE持續進步的話，國王相信他會變成更強的球員。總教練說，「讓別的球隊球員只能抓抓頭，這讓一個球員更強。每個人都可以帶走一些東西，但你不可能帶走全部。如果你總是做些事讓比賽在你的掌握之中，那你就是個全明星」 -- 翻得有點不大順，好糟啊^^"，如果有更好的方式就跟我說一下囉~~ -- 剛剛才發現上一篇都把Omri打成Ormi了= = -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.112.212.241
