[外電] Smith's playmaking provides huge punch
原文網址:http://0rz.tw/QiBSX
If Carmelo Anthony was the appetizer and dessert in Sunday's 94-91
come-from-behind win over the Timberwolves on Sunday night, J.R. Smith was
the main course.
如果說瓜在周日對上灰狼的比賽裡是開胃前菜和飯後點心的話,那JR就是主餐。
Early on, Melo was Melo, scoring nine points in the first quarter. But the
pick-and-roll between Raymond Felton and Tyson Chandler wasn't producing
points. In fact, Chandler didn't have a single field goal as the roll man
tonight. In addition, the guys were bricking continuously from beyond the
arc.
剛開始的時候,瓜就是瓜。他的第一節拿了9分。但是拳王和肥頓的擋拆沒辦法得分。事
實上,這一晚當拳王身為擋者的時候,他一分也沒得。此外,這些傢伙的三分不斷地打鐵
。
So where did that leave the Knicks? In the hands of Smith, who was
desperately needed for his instant offense when he checked in with 6:52 to
play in the first quarter. Within a minute, Smith got it going -- but he
didn't do it with his scoring. He did it with his passing.
所以尼克是怎麼突破這困境的呢?解答是JR。當他在第一節6:52上場的時候,他們非常需
要他在進攻端即時的幫助。在短短一分鐘之內,他做到了--不過不是用他的得分,而是
傳球。
With 6:07 remaining, he drove past Luke Ridnour and found Chandler inside for
the dunk. Then, he dished to Anthony for a 3-pointer, and, a few possessions
later, he had a ridiculous mid-air, look-behind pass to Kurt Thomas for the
jumpshot.
在還剩下6:07的時候,他先是切過Ridnour找到拳王餵球給他灌籃,接著他又拋給瓜投了
一個三分。而又過一陣子,他找到一個空檔,並且背後傳球給KT跳投。
By the end of the opening period, Smith only had two points, but he had three
assists. Felton and Jason Kidd had none. Then, in the second half, Smith had
four more dishes, including his biggest one of the night -- finding Anthony
for a 3 with 1:53 to play in the game, which inched the Knicks the closest
they had been since the first quarter, 86-85.
在第一節結束的時候,JR只拿了兩分,但他有三助攻。肥頓和老基一個也沒有。在下半場
,JR又傳出四個好球,包括整場比賽最重要的一個:1:53時找到瓜並且餵給他投出一個三
分,讓尼克和灰狼的比分追近到從第一節開始就再也沒有的距離。
"J.R. has an all-around game," Felton said. "That's what a lot of people
don't realize. They think he can just put the ball in the basket. J.R. can
really penetrate, make good passes and create for everybody else. That's only
going to make us better."
「JR打了一個非常全面的比賽。」肥頓說:「很多人都不懂JR做了什麼。他們只知道他會
把球丟進籃框裡。JR可以滲透比賽,傳出好球,替其他人創造機會。這就是會讓我們變得
更好。」
As it turns out, entering tonight, the Knicks were actually worse offensively
when Smith was on the court. They were averaging 100 points per 48 minutes
and 18.2 assists, and when he was off it, they were averaging 107.5 points
and 23.1 assists. That's primarily because the Knicks' two main offensive
staples -- Anthony and the Felton/Chandler pick-and-roll -- have worked best
without another isolation scorer on the floor at the same time with Melo.
撇開今天的比賽不談,其實當JR不在場上的時候尼克的進攻更有效率。當JR在場上的時候
,尼客平均48分鐘得到100分和18.2次助攻。而當JR坐板凳時,平均48分鐘尼克可以得到
107.5分以及23.1次助攻。這是因為尼克主要的兩個得分工具:瓜的單打和肥頓拳王的擋
拆在少了另一個人跟瓜同時ISO的時候會更有效率。
But tonight, Smith was much more than an isolation scorer -- he did finish
with 19 points on 7-for-15 shooting -- but it was his playmaking and finding
his teammates that kept the Knicks clawing back. While Smith was off the
court, the Knicks had a negative-5 plus-minus, a worse field goal percentage
(40) and they didn't make a single 3. But when he was playing, the team was
plus-8, shot 45.6 percent and made six 3s.
但今晚JR不只是個單打得分手。他15投7中,得了19分,但是正是他的戰術發動和尋找隊
友的功夫讓尼克起死回生。當JR不在場上的時候,尼克的+/-值是-5,命中率只有糟糕的
40%,而當他上來的時候,尼克+8,命中率有45.6%,而且投中了6個三分。
"I think it's just unselfishness, understanding that he's drawing two guys
and he can find the open guy," Kidd said. "He trusts his teammates will knock
down the shot. ... I think it makes the game so easy for everybody."
「我覺得他就是不自私,而且他知道他正被包夾而他可以找到有空檔的人。」老基說:「
他相信他的隊友可以投進球,……我覺得這讓整個比賽變得更容易。」
In addition, Smith got it done defensively, which he's been doing all season.
Entering tonight, when he's been on the court, the Knicks were allowing 4.3
fewer points per 48 minutes, as well as lower field goal and 3-point
percentages.
此外,JR也在防守端非常盡力,就像整個賽季他在做的一樣。這一整季包括今天這場比賽
的話,當他在場上的時候,尼克每48分鐘平均可以讓對手少得4.3分,而且兩分和三分的
命中率都降低。
One play defined Smith's effort tonight on that end. After Felton missed a
3-pointer with 5:26 left in the first quarter, J.J. Barea grabbed the rebound
and looked to push like he was doing the entire period, trying to take
advantage of the Knicks' slower feet. But Smith hustled back, and when Barea
fired a deep pass down the court, the sixth man was already there to snatch
it out of the air. That was a momentum changer.
讓我們用一個play來解釋今晚JR在防守端的努力。在第一節還有5:26的時候,肥頓錯失了
一個三分球,Barea抓到了籃板,而且顯然他打算要把這球帶走向前推進、就像他整個地
一節在做的事情一樣,試圖想挑戰尼克緩慢的腳步。但是JR打那球搶回來了,而且當
Barea試圖把球傳走的時候,尼克的最佳第六人早已準備好在半空中攔截那顆球。這讓整
個情勢轉換了。
"He played a great game, both ends of the floor," Chandler said. "He did an
excellent job on the defensive end, pressuring the ball, communicating out
there off the ball."
「他打了一場很棒的比賽,不管在進攻或是防守端。」拳王說:「他做了非常完美的工作
,在防守端壓迫對手,不斷地嘗試要斷球。」
Tonight, Smith was needed in a different way, and he delivered. In fact,
while Ronnie Brewer played only 13 minutes -- his second-lowest amount this
season -- Smith played his second-highest (39). Mike Woodson didn't even
waste time putting Smith back in the game in the third quarter. Brewer was
subbed out with nine minutes to play, and he didn't see the court again.
這一晚,JR在與以往不同的方面被賦予期望,而他達成了這期待。事實上,當小酒只打了
十三分鐘--他這一季第二低的上場時間--時,JR的上場時間是本季次高39分鐘。武僧
沒浪費任何一點時間,他在第三節放JR上場,而小酒以替補的方式打了9分鐘,接著就沒
有再上場。
That's because Smith was "big time," according to Woodson.
根據武僧的說法,那是因為這是JR的「偉大時刻」。
"J.R.'s had three steady games for us, which is really nice," he said. "I'm
playing him long stretches minutes-wise. I've got to have him down the
stretch where he's able to make plays."
「JR為我們打了三場非常棒的比賽。」他說:「我讓他上場了很長的時間。我必須要讓他
完全舒展開來,讓他待在可以發揮的地方。」
-----
今天感謝JR感謝瓜瓜,
愛他們不解釋。
