Meet Carl Landry http://0rz.tw/3X84e by Ziller on Feb 20, 2010 6:56 AM PST in Commentary Carl Landry will make his debut as a Sacramento King tonight in Los Angeles. To help us get the flavor of what it's like to watch and root for Landry, I asked Tom Martin of The Dream Shake, SBN's fantastic Rockets blog, to share a few words. Also be sure to check out Jim Kozimor's interview with Landry on KHTK.com and Sam Amick's story on his arrival. And many thanks to Tom and the other writers who helped introduce us to our new Kings. Carl Landry今晚將在洛杉磯首度代表國王亮相，為了幫助我們了解Landry，我請到火箭的部落格The Dream Shake的作家Tom Martin來談談Landry，同時也擷取了KHTK.com上Jim Kozimor訪問Landry以及Sam Amick的文章內容作補充。非常感謝Tom和其他作家幫忙介紹我們的新成員。 *** I've been through many trades, as the Rockets have always been active on the market. I'm used to seeing players shuffle in and out. It happens all the time. Sometimes, a particular acquisition can find a nice role on a team and gain a special trust from fans. Then he leaves, and you move on. Such is life in the NBA. But this is Carl Landry. He grew up as a Rocket, raised from scratch. Watching him play in a different uniform is going to be one of the strangest sights I'll ever see. It's like losing a son to college. You knew it could happen, but you never expected it to happen. You guys are going to love Carl. If you loved watching Kevin Martin grow, you're in for a similar experience, albeit not as personal, as Kevin was essentially born a King. Ziller took the words right out of my mouth: Landry is the power forward version of Speed Racer, an efficient scorer that could use work in other areas, but is otherwise a joy to watch. The fans will love his hunger and heart, and the team will love his playful, yet driven attitude. He's a fearless, tenacious teddy bear. Few people genuinely enjoy playing basketball as much as Carl Landry does. Carl has improved his offensive game dramatically over the past few seasons, effectively transforming from "that bouncy energy guy off the bench" to a fourth-quarter menace and a reliable post presence. He has learned how to adjust to facing taller defenders and has extended his game to about fifteen feet from the rim. He's a fantastic finisher around the rim, as he is athletic enough to utilize a double-clutch or reverse lay-up to avoid having his shot blocked. Then, sometimes, you'll see a nice gorilla dunk. 我經歷過很多交易，火箭總是在交易市場上尬一腳，我已經習慣了球員的更迭，它總是不斷地發生，有時候一個球員找到自己在球隊中的定位，並獲得球迷的信任，然後他就走了，接著新的人補進來，這就是NBA的生態。但這次是Carl Landry，他是火箭養大的球員，是火箭一路拉拔長大的。看他穿上別隊的制服對我而言是最陌生的事。這就好像你送孩子到外地去念書，你知道它會發生，但你從不敢想像。你們會愛上Carl的。如果你看著馬丁長大，那你就會和我有類似的經驗感受。Ziller和我說過一樣的話，Landry就是大前鋒版的宮城，在另一個區域的高效得分手，此外，球迷也會愛上他對籃球的飢渴與熱情，隊友也會喜歡他逗趣的一面。認真來說，他是隻天不怕地不怕，打死不退的泰迪熊，很少人能像Landry一樣打球卻又真心地喜歡自己的工作。 Carl的進攻技巧過去幾季以來有長足的進步，由一個板凳上的勁量小子蛻變為第四節先生同時擁有可以信賴的低位技巧。他懂得如何面對比較高的防守者，距離籃圈15呎內都是他的威脅範圍。他在籃圈附近的攻擊力高的嚇人，他有足夠的彈跳能力利用拉竿或是反手上籃來避開封蓋。有時候你還可以欣賞到他的野獸灌籃。 He has developed a reliable jumper, and when he is able to face up against a defender, he can either take the shot or make a one-dribble spin move to the rim with ease. In other words, he's a quicker version of David West on offense, minus the ability to shoot comfortably from anywhere inside the arc. Up to this point, Carl has been finding different ways to score from as many angles as possible. In addition, he has developed a sweet free throw stroke and was shooting near 90% for the better part of the first half of the season. He seems to have found all the right tools; now he must refine them. While Carl is an elite offensive rebounder, his defensive rebounding needs work. He doesn't always box out effectively, and when Carl doesn't put 100% effort into something, he's likely to suffer. He's a solid post defender, but won't block any shots. If anything, he is able to use his quickness to get position before an opposing forward can post up. If there is one word I can use to describe Landry, it is that he is tough. He is incredibly tough, mentally and physically. He got shot in the leg and barely missed any time. He lost his teeth to Dirk Nowitzki's elbow, missed one game, then returned three nights later to score 27 points. This is the glaring difference between Landry and Martin: Carl can take a beating, and it won't matter, because he still will try to jam one in your face. 他的跳投很穩，所以當他面對防守者時，他可以選擇旱地拔蔥或者是低位下球轉身進到禁區攻擊。在進攻上他可以比擬為比較快的David West，但要扣除任何位置都可以出手的中距離投籃的能力，但Carl可以利用各種方法找到各種角度去得分，他的罰球很準，上半季的罰球命中率將進九成，他已經具備各項技巧，但他必須再進一步磨練它們。 Carl的進攻籃板很強，但防守籃板則有待加強。他的卡位仍不夠好，當他沒辦法100%的投入時，他看起來便毫無生氣。他是個好的低位防守者，但沒有封蓋能力，他會在對手準備低位單打前，先利用他的速度卡住有利的位置。我只想的到用「強悍」來形容Landry，不管在心理或身體上，他都有著無以倫比的強悍，他的腿吃過子彈，但他只缺席了很短的時間；他被Nowitzski用手肘打掉牙齒也只缺席一場比賽，三天後他回到球場就拿下27分，這是Landry和馬丁最大的差異：Landry可以承受打擊，他無所謂，因為他會試著回敬一拳在你臉上。 Lastly, I think Landry will fit very well with Spencer Hawes. I haven't seen much of Hawes, but he seems to be a capable post that will take a double team away from Landry, something that he has not yet figured out how to beat. Landry can be a go-to guy in spurts, but mostly finds his points in complementary bunches, either off of offensive rebounds, loose balls, or when he is set up by another teammate. Again, you guys are going to love Landry. I can't promise you that he will be an all-star caliber guy due to his lack of dimensionality and size, but if anyone can prove the doubters wrong, it is absolutely Carl Landry. Best of luck to Carl and to the Kings this season. 最後一點，我想他應該和你們的Spencer Hawes很配，我沒看過Hawes太多的比賽，但他看起來在低位頗有威脅﹝拜託幫我看一下原文，是我理解錯誤，還是在外人眼中阿屁真的這麼棒﹞，這能夠吸引包夾，帶走Landry身邊的球員，他現在還有一些課題有待解決。 Landry是在關鍵時刻可以信賴的球員，但他的得分需要一些配合，像是進攻籃板，空檔或是靠著隊友的掩護。再一次重申，你們會喜歡他的。由於他的翼展和身高，我不能保證他會成為全明星水準的球員，但要是有人能證明這些疑慮是錯的，那個人肯定就是Carl Landry。祝你們好運， -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.167.171.2
