Sometimes they’ll finish practice off with a game of Around the World, which James has won twice in the last week, but free-throws always come first. Ray, then LeBron. LeBron, then Ray. Occasionally there is a disagreement over the count – these are not guys that lose very easily – but there they are next day, back at the same spot, with assistant coach David Fizdale fielding rebounds. 在邁阿密的球館裡，可以很常看見LeBron James和Ray Allen兩人時常一起練罰球。有時候他們在練球後會繼續留在球館裡比一場投籃練習，上個禮拜James 贏了兩場，不過投籃比賽前他們總是會先比罰球。Ray罰完換LeBron，LeBron 完再換Ray這樣ㄧ直重覆著。他們ㄧ樣都有著不願輕易認輸的個性，雖然有時候會有意見不合的時候，不過他們隔天還是會出現在同一個球場上一同和助理教練David Fizdale一起做訓練。 We don’t know who wins or who loses – you can assume Allen, but remember that James has beaten him at three-point contest – but we know they take this seriously. A career 74.7 percent free-throw shooter, James has never hit the 80 percent mark for a regular or post season. And it’s just about the only benchmark the four-time MVP has yet to hit after topping 40 percent from three this year. 雖然我們無法得知他們誰輸誰贏 - 或許你可以說是Allen，不過請千萬別忘了 James也曾經在球隊練習時的三分球大賽贏過Ray Allen - 我們只知道他們是認真在練罰球。LeBron James生涯罰球是74.4%，生涯到目前為止從來沒有在季賽或季後賽罰球命中率達到80%。這也是這位雍有四座MVP的LeBron下一個目標。 If James has a weakness, it’s hitting, not getting, free-throws. And he knows it. 如果LeBron James有什麼弱點的話，那一定是他的罰球命中率。他問題不出在如何上罰球線上，而是怎麼穩穩得罰進他的罰球。 “I need and I want to shoot in the 80s,” James said during the HEAT’s week off. “That’s my next goal, my free-throw shooting.” James對此也表示: "我希望我可以達到80%的罰球命中率。這是我下一個目標，我要練好我的罰球。" As it turns out, the Path to 80 has James not only trying to match Allen free-throw for free-throw after practice, but trying to match Allen’s mechanics in games in the second round of the playoffs. 所以我們現在可以注意到，LeBron為了要達成他80%的命中率，他不只是每天練完球找Ray一起加練罰球而已。為了提高罰球命中率，LeBron不惜一切連Allen 的罰球動作也自動複製。 While James has dealt with bouts of leaning-forward-itis on his free-throws before, at times taking a big step into the paint after releasing the ball, the defining trait of his form has been the deep knee bend and dip just before the shot – and after three dribbles and a spin of the ball. James looked more upright and on-balance than he had earlier in his career, but the results still left him well short of 80. Since Allen has said before that he is always willing to dispense shooting advice but only to those that come to him asking for it, it appears the results of this season led James to the Oracle of the Stripe. James在他生涯中曾經更換不少罰球動作，不過到目前為止每一個姿勢能有助他命中率達80%。不管他以前嘗試過怎樣的姿勢，LeBron總是差80%ㄧ些。現在可好，Ray Allen也曾經向球隊的大家表示只要誰有需要投籃的幫助，他都願意給這個隊友ㄧ些幫助，不過前提是Ray希望不管是誰，都可以主動來找他聊聊。結果現在大家都知道，LeBron就是其中之一。 “That’s what we’ve been working on, trying not to get him to dip” said Allen, a career 89.4 percent shooter. “That dip is what puts the ball in a weird position. It’s interesting because his mechanics, if you watch them when he misses – I’ve studied him shooting them a lot – that dip puts him in a bad position to where he starts trying to move the ball in different places and he ends up missing in different places. We’ve talked about it. He understands it. I just watch him and try to give him information and he seems like he has better confidence. Ray Allen生涯罰球命中高達89.4%。他給LeBron的建議是這麼說的: "我跟他[LeBron] 有討論過他的罰球，我跟他說，我希望他在罰球時不要做出蹲這個動作。因為我認為這個蹲，就是他目前罰球會不穩定的最大來源。Bron來找我的時候，我們有一起看他過去罰球的姿勢，我覺得他之前在要出手前的這個蹲正是導致他投出去的球會改變方向的做大原因。他現在也知道問題在哪，跟他討論完後，他現在罰球明顯有信心多了。" “I don’t know if he adopted my routine, I think he just goes to what’s comfortable for him. Looks good. He missed two free throws [last night] but he looks like he has a greater deal of confidence when he’s on the line. Just how he shoots it looks a lot more fluid. Our little free throw games, they’re definitely helping him.” Ray繼續表示: "我是不知道Bron是否真的複製我的罰球姿勢，我覺得他應該只是認為這樣的動作他比較適應。總之，我是認為不錯啦。他昨天晚上只罰丟了兩球。他現在對他的動作明顯更有信心，也更順暢。我們的那些罰球小遊戲的確對他有幫助。" While we only have a single game’s worth of evidence and nine attempts, you be the judge of whether or not James looks more fluid at the line. We’ll start with James’ old form, then the new, then split-screens with both and finally a comparison to James' sensei. 雖然第一場James罰球只罰了9次進了7球，確實是小樣本，不過就由你們去評斷James 現在的罰球動作及姿勢是否更加順暢。[裡面有一部LeBron新舊姿勢的罰球影片] James still holds the ball longer than Allen once he’s given the ball a little spin, but the key, Allen says, is the ball remains stationary. 雖然James在罰球的時候拿到球前的預備動作花的時間比Allen還久，但Allen有說，重點是球從手裡到出手都要穩。 “At least he’s not confusing his body too much where he’s doing a lot of moving on the free throw line,” Allen said. “He keeps the ball right at the basket.” Ray表示: "至少Bron現在預備動作簡潔有力，不會對他身體造成混亂，只需要把球牢牢的抓穩就可以了。" There are two things to keep an eye on moving forward: whether James can maintain this form and whether the free-throws fall at an increased rate. The former, however, is almost more important than the latter at this point. With only a few games a week during the playoffs, we probably won’t build up enough of a sample size to prove the effectiveness of James’ new form. But as long as James can maintain a consistency in his approach, we can let the shots fall where they may. 目前為止，我們有兩點要注意 : 那就是James是否可以持續的用這個姿勢罰球，另外就是罰球命中率有沒有因此提高。現在已經進入季後賽，要證明LeBron是否有進步的樣本數可能還太少，不過只要James願意持續下去不放棄，他一定可以進球的。 “The other thing I told him, I said, ‘Sometimes you can have great form and you just miss,’” Allen said. ‘”You didn’t do anything wrong, you just sometimes miss.’” Ray還繼續表示: "我還告訴Bron一件事，那就是即便罰球動作姿勢沒有錯，都還是會有罰丟的時候，有時候不是你做錯什麼，只是單純沒能投進而已。" -- ◢ ▄◣ ▉ ██▉██◣██▉██▉█◣▉ █◣ ◢█ ▉ █▇ █▇▉█▇▉█▍▉█◥▉ ＴＨＥ　ＫＩＮＧ　 ▊◥██◤▎ ██▉█▇▉█▇▉█◥◣██▉█ ▉ 　 ◥▆▆◤ █▉◢█◣██◣██▉◢██ ◢█◣　◢█◣▅︵▆▃▁ ◢≡≡◣ ▃ ▉█▇▉▉▉▉█▇ ◥█◣ ◢ ＪＡＭＥＳ︶███︵▅▅▄▄▅◢) (◣◥█▉█ ▉▉▉▉█▇▉██◤ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 182.234.138.120
