[外電] Iso Melo amiss in postseason
First thing's first: The sky is not falling.
Sure, the Knicks missed a chance to sweep the Celtics on Sunday.
But no team in NBA history has rebounded from a 3-0 deficit. And Boston has
given no indication that it has the talent to make that kind of history.
So the Knicks, by all indications, will lock up the series and advance to the
second round later this week.
But a trend has emerged during the series that bears watching.
第一件事：天並沒有塌下來。當然，尼克錯過了在G4橫掃老賽的機會。
但是，在NBA歷史上，沒有哪支球隊能3-0的落後逆轉，而老賽也沒有跡象表明它有人才可
以打破那個歷史紀錄，所有跡象表明，尼克將會在本週晉級第二輪。
但已經出現在一系列的現像值得關注。
Carmelo Anthony has struggled in isolation in the postseason, particularly in
Game 4. This is troubling because the Knicks have used Anthony in isolation
at a high rate in the playoffs.
Melo在季後賽中孤軍奮鬥，特別是在G4。這是個麻煩，因為在季後賽尼克用了較高頻率的
Melo單打戰術。
In the regular season, Anthony was in isolation on 26 percent of Knicks'
plays that ended with a field goal attempt, free throw or turnover from the
All-Star. He had a 41.8 field goal percentage on such plays, according to
data provided by ESPN Stats and Information.
在季賽中，Melo的單打是尼克全隊進攻的26％，他有41.8％的投籃命中率。
In the playoffs, Anthony's been in isolation on 43 percent of plays that end
with the ball in his hand and has shot just 31 percent from the floor on
those plays.
在季後賽中，Melo的單打變成43％，並且投籃命中率只有31％。
The iso-heavy offense seemed to hurt the Knicks on Sunday. Anthony was in
isolation 49 percent of the time in Game 4. He shot 10-for-35 from the floor.
Of course, J.R. Smith's absence affected Anthony and the Knicks on Sunday.
Smith was suspended for elbowing Jason Terry in the jaw. If he were on the
floor, things would presumably open up for Anthony.
大量的單打似乎在G4傷害了尼克隊，Melo的單打佔了G4全隊進攻的49％，而他的出手是35
投10中。
當然，JR的缺陣在G4影響了Melo和尼克，JR因肘擊Jason Terry被禁賽，如果他在場上，
可能可以幫Melo打開進攻的空間。
But his opportunities late in Sunday's game seemed to come at the expense of
Raymond Felton. Felton scored 16 points on eight shots in the third quarter
to help the Knicks rebound from a 20-point deficit. In the fourth quarter and
overtime, he took a combined six shots. Anthony, on the other hand, went
4-for-14 in the fourth quarter and OT.
但是，G4賽中後期的機會似乎來在肥頓的努力。肥頓在第三節拿下了16分(8次出手)，在
第三季度幫助尼克從落後20分追分。但在第四節和延長賽時，他總共只出手6次。另一方
面，Melo在第四節和延長賽出手14次只投進4球。
"He missed some shots," Mike Woodson said. "But as a team we couldn't make
shots. We struggled."
武僧說“他錯過了一些投籃，但是，作為一個團隊，就是我們無法投進，我們打的很掙扎
Surely, Anthony wasn't the only Knick whose shot was off in Game 4. The
Knicks shot a combined 29 percent in the first half. But Anthony shouldered
most of the blame after missing 25 shots.
當然，Melo不是G4唯一打鐵的尼克球員。尼克在上半場打出了全隊29％的投籃命率，但為
什麼責怪Melo當然是因為他有25次出手沒投進。
"I just normally hit those shots. I’ve been taking them the whole series.
They weren't falling tonight," Anthony said shortly after Game 4.
Melo說：我只是正常的做那些投籃。我在這個系列戰我一直這麼做，只是G4手感不好沒投
進。
Maybe the Knicks would have been better served going with a balance between
pick-and-rolls and isolation sets.
尼克如果可以在擋拆和單打間取得一個平衡也許會更好。
Felton thrived in the pick-and-roll in the third quarter on Sunday and the
Knicks have had success on such plays in the postseason.
肥頓在G4第三節的擋拆表現的很好，而尼克在季後賽的成功來自像這樣的play。
They are averaging 1.15 points per play on pick-and-roll plays and 0.67
points per play in isolation sets, per ESPN Stats and Information.
他們的每次擋拆平均得分為1.15分，而每次單打只有0.67分。
Of course, Anthony's at his best in isolation, not in the pick-and-roll. So
it would be foolish to completely abandon Anthony's isolation sets and ask
him to operate solely in the pick-and-roll. That would be like asking a world
class violinist to play trumpet.
當然，Melo的單打是他最好的進攻方法而不是擋拆。因此，如果完全放棄Melo的單打技巧
並要求他打擋拆，這將是愚蠢的，這就好比要求一個世界級的小提琴家玩小號。
So there's no need to overhaul the offense. Even though he was off on Sunday,
the Knicks still had a chance to win the game. And Anthony still got a few
key Celtics into foul trouble.
因此，尼克沒有需要改進進攻，雖然Melo G4的手感不佳，但尼克仍然有機會去贏得比賽，
而且Melo也讓老賽的幾個關鍵球員陷入犯規麻煩。
"At the end of the day, you're going to live and die with your go-to guy,"
Felton said after Sunday's game. "I was able to get in the paint and hit some
big shots, but when the game is on the line you're going to be getting the
ball to No. 7. That's what we've been doing all year. There's no need to
change it now."
肥頓說：在一天結束的時候，你是勝利或失敗取決於領袖的表現，在G4的比賽中，我是能
夠得到在禁區和三分線投進球，但當比賽進行中，你就是想辦法把球No. 7，這就是我們
本季一直在做的事，沒有必要現在去改變它。“
Felton's right. There's no need to change anything. But maybe a less "Iso
Melo" would benefit everyone involved.
G4是肥頓的夜晚，沒有必要改變任何東西，但也許少一些Melo單打將有利於每個球員進入
比賽的節奏中。
心得：經由G4就發現可以改進的地方，其實是好事 ^^
