原網址：http://ppt.cc/b5qJ Byron Mullens key stats: PPG RPG Pp36 Rp36 FG% 3pt% 12-13 10.6 6.4 14.2 8.5 38.5 31.7 Career 8.4 4.8 14.4 8.3 40.3 30.1 (熱身賽 12.75 4.25 39.1 36.4 in 23.5MPG) Wow. Yikes. I mean, I knew those stats were there, but it still hurts to see them. The 14/8.5 per 36 is actually decent... not great but passable at least. But he is 7 feet tall and he makes less than 40% of his shots from the field. A huge part of the problem is his tendency to chuck up threes (over a third of his attempted shots last year were from deep, almost 4 attempts a game) without making a passable percentage of them. 恩…我想表格的數據已經很清楚，不過看了還真的是很糟。14/8.5 per 36 看起來蠻OK的，不是很好但至少也還說得過去。但Mullens有7呎高，命中率卻低於40%…很大的原因是因為他傾向投3分球(上一季，每場大概會投4顆3分，占了他出手次數3分之一以上)，但也沒有投出合格的命中率。 If there's a player in the league who shoots more threes than Mullens while making a lower percentage of them, I'd like to know who he is. But yet, that's why Mullens is here. He's a Clipper because Doc wants him to take that shot, and Doc wants him to stretch the floor. Mullens has shot 8-26 from deep in three pre-season games so far as a Clipper. Granted, that's a remarkably small sample size, but 30.7% from deep is hardly inspiring- in fact, it's detrimental to team success. 我還真想知道聯盟裡還有誰投3分次數比Mullens多命中率卻比他低的…但那也是為什麼 Mullens會加入快艇。Doc就是希望他投3分，希望能藉由他拉開空間。Mullens在前3場熱身賽的3分表現狀況為8-26，當然目前樣本數實在太少，不過30.7%的命中率仍難以為他說些甚麼，事實上這對於快艇的成功非常不利。 It's a tough situation for Mullens. He certainly wants to take those threes, and he's not completely inept at shooting (for example, I doubt that DeAndre Jordan would be able to make over 30% if he shot all of Mullens' threes). On top of that, Doc Rivers is telling him to shoot. AND, because his shot is so ineffective, other defenses WANT BJ to be taking these shots. Think about it. If the Clippers were playing a team with a 7' center who shot 30% from deep but took the shot every time he was open, wouldn't you want them to let him shoot? 這對Mullens來說實在是很艱困的情況，他喜歡投3分但卻無法辦法有效率拿下分數(Ex: 我懷疑搞不好DJ來投3分都不會這麼糟XDDD)最重要的是，Doc告訴他儘管投3分，也因為他投得實在不是很有效率，所以防守者會很希望給他投3分。想想看，如果快艇和一個有7呎高的中鋒的隊伍比賽，雖然3分命中率只有3成但能把握每一次他空檔的3分，你還會讓他繼續投下去嗎？ This combination of factors is what leads to the crazy stat lines that we've seen so far (1-7, 3-7, 4-12 from deep in each of the three games). Those are remarkably high numbers of three pointers attempted for one game. If Mullens was a 35% shooter, other teams would respect his shot more, and he'd get less looks. But his only options right now are to either shoot a low percentage on a ton of shots a night, or pass up shots that his coach wants him to take- both are very effective methods towards landing himself a seat on the bench. 綜合以上因素也就是讓我們看到目前的狀況(前3場熱身賽3分狀況：1-7，3-7，4-12)這是令人注目的場均3分高出手次數。如果Mullens擁有35%的3分命中率，對方一定會注意他且不會讓他出手次數這麼多。但Mullens現在唯一的選擇不是在一晚投了很多球且命中率很低就是把那些Doc希望他投得球傳出去，這兩項都是非常有效的方法讓他爭取溫板凳的機會。(不太懂最後一句是不是揶揄BM，還是真的甚麼有效的方法@@) The issue of Mullens' shooting is compounded by the fact that he really doesn't do a whole lot else well on the basketball court. He isn't a strong banger, he doesn't rebound particularly well, and watching him replace DeAndre Jordan defensively is like watching Shaq run the 100M in place of Usain Bolt- he's not just a step or half-step slower to react, he's a full 2 or 3 steps slower. While Byron is a better rebounder, defender, and finisher than Steve, he's almost Steve Novak minus the shooting. Which is, you know, nothing. 關於Mullens的問題是，在場上除了投籃外卻沒有貢獻太多的能力。他不是個強悍的球員，尤其他籃板能力不是很好，看他替補DJ做防守就像看Shaq取代Usain Bolt跑100公尺。( 註：Usain Bolt，被視為跑步最快的運動員，曾同時擁有100m和200m最快的紀錄)他防守反應不僅是和別人差了1步或1步半，是根本慢到差了起碼2、3步。或許Mullens的籃板能力、防守、和終結能力比Steve Novak好，但他缺少Novak的投籃能力，你知道的…就真的甚麼也不是… So where does this guy fit in to the rotation? It all depends. Like I conceded above, 26 threes is a VERY small sample size by which to judge a shooter, and it's certainly not anywhere near time to give up on Mullens as a potential rotation player. If he can shoot about 34% from three this season, then he's probably worth it as long as he limits his attempts to less than 12 a game and fights hard on defense and on the glass. If he can get that shot up to 35% or 36% then all the better, but I'm not counting on that. So, how can Mullens improve his shooting? The obvious answer is to practice his shooting and work on mechanics and just be a little less like himself and a little more like Ray Allen. However, if there was some magical practice formula guaranteed to raise a players' shooting percentage, everyone would be doing it. The real way that Mullens is likely to raise his shooting percentage is through raising his shot quality, which I'll split up into three parts: shot location, shot selection, and shot type. 所以這傢伙到底要怎麼融入這個隊伍?就像我說的，3場的樣本數真的太少且也還不到時候放棄把Mullens當作淺力球員的可能。如果他能有34%的3分命中率，只要他能控制在出手次數12次以內且認真的做好防守的狀況下，那已經值得了。如果他能擁有35%甚至36%的話，那是再好也不過的，不過目前我可不會這麼指望。所以Mullens該如何增加他的命中率？很明顯的答案是多練習投籃以及團隊默契的合作，把自己稍稍假想為Ray Allen。當然，如果真的有這種魔法般的練習，能使球員的命中率提高，那每個人都一定會這麼做。真正的方法是Mullens要透過提升他的投籃品質，也就是：投籃位置、投籃時機選擇、投籃的形式。 ‧Shot Location: This one is something that I've seen readers clamoring for in the comments. Shooters tend to do better from the corner, which makes sense- those shots aren't from as far away as the rest of the three point shots. BJ just has to find his sweet spots. Maybe he struggles with the straight away three but hits a higher percentage from the left wing. This heat graph, taken from Mullens' basketball-reference.com page, suggests what one would suspect: Mullens scores way more points per shot from the corners than anywhere else. 投籃位置─射手似乎都在底角3分表現得比較好，也就是說這個位置相較其他位置離籃框並沒有那麼遠。Mullens必須找出他擅長投籃的位置。或許他的3分能力不佳，但他在左翼卻有比較好的命中率。從圖中可顯示，Mullens在底角3分得命中率比其他位置好很多。( 我不知道怎麼把圖附上來@@) (straight away three：是指從弧頂投出的3分? 還是他投3分這回事啊? 有請大大解惑) ‧Shot Selection: This has to do with how tough of a shot he's taking, which I haven't really had an issue with from what I've seen of pre-season action, but I know what supposedly an issue with his play in Charlotte. How contested are his shots? Jamal Crawford tends to have horrible shot selection, but he's simply talented and able to make tough shots. If he didn't make those shots... he wouldn't be as well liked to say the least. Mullens seems to be taking threes when he's wide open (which is no coincidence- defenses are leaving him), so his shot selection would seem to have improved from last season. 投籃選擇─他投籃選擇到底有多糟呢?在熱身賽中我目前還沒有看到太多的問題，不過上一季他在山貓隊的時候，大概能推敲出他投籃選擇上有問題。尻佛已經是非常投籃選擇能力很差的球員，但起碼他有這個能力把這些difficult shot投進。Mullens目前投3分都是在空檔的狀況下，所以我猜Mullens的投籃選擇能力有比上一季好。 ‧Shot Type: Again, this is off of a very small sample size, but I feel like Mullens has been taking almost all of his threes so far on pick-and-pop. Most of these pick-and-pop shots come from the wings and straightaway (it's unusual for there to be a ball screen in the dead corner). So perhaps by limiting himself to less shots off of pops while continuing to catch and shoot on kick outs, he can raise his percentage. The difference here is that on a pick and pop, most players are moving either backwards or sideways into their shots (they shouldn't- they should be getting depth and stepping into their shots- but they do). This is a sharp contrast to taking a one-two or hop-step into a shot off of a kick out. 投籃形式─再一次強調，3場的熱身賽樣本數實在太小，但我發現Mullens的3分目前幾乎都是在pick&pop時投出，這些都出現弧頂兩翼。所以如果能限制他在pick&pop的出手次數改由在隊友kick out(切入禁區後分球)給Mullens做catch&shoot，可以增加他的命中率。這邊不同的地方是，pick&pop，大部分球員不是往後場就是往兩邊做投射，這跟kick out在移動一兩步或是一個墊步進行投籃有很大的對比。 (這邊我不太懂括號裡那段的意思 ....) Now it's hard to identify which of these is the problem (if not all). Does Byron shoot better from the corner because he gets more kick outs there and less pick-and-pop, or is it because the corners are just closer and he really shoots better on pops than kick outs? This isn't something that's easily answered off of the very limited shots that we get to see him take in games; rather, it's something that Doc has to notice a trend in during the thousands of reps that BJ is hopefully taking in practice. 現在還很難判斷這幾個問題哪個才是重點。Mullens在底角3分比較準是因為比較多的 kick outs和比較少的pick&pop的因素，還是因為底角真的離比較近且他在pick&pop的表現也比kick outs好呢?這些問題在這目前幾場比賽真的很難回答。 Regardless of how the backup big situation sorts itself out, the Clippers will likely be forced to rely on Mullens for meaningful minutes in regular season games, especially at the beginning of the year. So let's not simply condemn BJ as the next Brian Cook- instead, have faith that, in conjunction with Doc, he'll be able to diagnose and correct his issues in order to raise his shooting percentage and be the stretch big that the Clippers have so desperately needed. 不管這個問題如何，快艇在正規賽一定會依賴Mullens在一定時間的貢獻。所以我們不要譴責他為Brian Cook第二，而是要對他有信心在Doc的體系下，他會找出並更正他的問題 ─提升命中率以及禁區的守護，這些是快艇迫切需要的。 (註：查了一下wiki，Brain Cook也曾是快艇球員，也是6呎9卻愛投3分的PF/C) 短評：會想翻這篇主要是我想大家都不是很清楚DOC簽BM的用意是甚麼吧XDDD 我自己也沒很清楚XDDDD 就給大家參考參考XDD 感覺作者真的在說服自己相信BM會很好的XDDDDDDD 我想河流就是希望Mullens能藉由3分把禁區整個拉寬，畢竟對方也不可能完全不理會 Mullens，把大個子釣出來，對於後衛切入空間會大很多。有我們引以為傲的後場在，Mullens必然可外圍3分等妙傳也可以禁區衝搶，能提升戰術的運用，當然前提是Mullens的三分一定要穩定輸出不然真的會頗慘@@ 另外希望他的防守能力也能展現出來，一個7呎中鋒就是要守護快艇禁區阿!!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.25.176.151 ※ 編輯: totemist 來自: 114.25.176.151 (10/18 21:58) ※ 編輯: totemist 來自: 114.25.176.151 (10/18 22:14)
