It’s also the time for those unsuspecting guys, the unsung contributors on playoff teams from throughout the league, to raise their level of play with their respective seasons on the line. We like to call them Hang Time’s Playoff Wild Cards, guys who will impact their teams and potentially the outcomes of their respective team’s first round series. The Starting Five of HT’s Playoff Wild Cards Team (and just like Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, we don’t get caught up in positions. We’re going with the best five Wild Cards): NBA季後賽就快要開打了，這也是超級巨星們自我充電，踏入這個比賽最高殿堂的焦點。而這也是那些平時並未被特別注意的球員的時刻，他們對各自已經進入季後賽球隊有著被埋沒的貢獻，我們通常喜歡稱之為 Hang Time's Playoff Wild Cards 這些球員將會潛在地影響他們的球隊在第一輪季後賽的表現。接下來我們將會介紹五位這種球員（就像熱火隊的教練，我們並沒有挑出所有位置，我們找出最好的五位） 1.Jeremy Lin, PG, Houston Rockets By now Rockets fans know that the star point guard they snatched away from New York last summer is not the same guy who inspired Linsanity. What they’ ve got is a guy who is much steadier and just as productive, statistically, through 82 games with the Rockets (13.4 ppg, 6.0 apg and 3.0 rpg) as he was in 25 games with the Knicks (14.6, 6.2 and 3.1). What makes Lin a Wild Card is knowing that he’s capable of getting on the kind of roll that created the Linsanity phenomenon. The right matchup in the playoffs could be all he needs to morph back into the player we saw during his magical ride in New York. 現在火箭隊的球迷知道他們從尼克隊挖來的控衛明星跟當初林來瘋的傢伙不盡相同，他們知道的是現在這傢伙更穩定而且更有貢獻。單從數據上來說，在火箭隊的82(將近)場比賽中有著場均13.4分 6.0次助攻 3.0個籃板，而在尼克隊的25場比賽中有著場均14.6分 6.2次助攻 3.1個籃板球，讓Lin擠進這排行裡面的原因就是他有辦法扮演著當初林來瘋現象的角色，在季後賽適當的對決可能是Lin重回他在紐約那趟驚奇之旅所需要的。 2.Danny Green, SG, San Antonio Spurs Green is easily overlooked on a team with superstars like Tony Parker and even Tim Duncan who are often foolishly overlooked by the masses when the conversation turns to the true superstars in the league. What cannot (and should not) be overlooked is Green’s season-long penchant for taking and making big shots, not to mention his 43 percent shooting (for the second straight season, mind you) from beyond the 3-point line. Green is the beneficiary of defensive attention being paid to Parker and Duncan, and he takes full advantage of defender’s inattention to detail all the time. Green是一個在擁有Parker跟Duncan這樣的明星球隊中很容易被忽略的傢伙，就算是 Duncan這樣子成為聯盟中的巨星也很容易被一般大眾所忽略。不能忽視Green喜歡在季賽中完成Big Shot的傾向，更不用說他還有43%的3分投籃命中率(這是他連續第二個球季有這種表現)，Green是那種當大家把防守注意力放在Parker還有Duncan身上時的最大受益者，當防守者對他稍加不注意時,他可以佔盡所有便宜。 3.Jeff Green, SF, Boston Celtics If the Jeff Green that showed up after All-Star weekend is the same Jeff Green that shows up for the playoffs, the Celtics will be one of the postseason’s most dangerous lower seeds. Green has averaged 17.6 ppg, 5.3 rpg and 2.7 apg in 34.1 minutes a night since the break (compared to the 10.3 ppg, 3.3 rpg and 1.0 apg he posted in 24.6 minutes before the break). Green has the size, athleticism and skill on both ends of the floor to battle elite small forwards. The Celtics need him to do it every night in the postseason. 如果在下半球季的Jeff Green跟季後賽的Jeff Green一樣，那麼老賽將會是季後賽球隊中，所有低名次種子當中最危險的，Jeff Green在下半季之後在34.1分鐘的時間有著17.6分 5.3個籃板 2.7次助攻的成績(上半季的24.6分鐘: 10.3分 3.3個籃板 1.0次助攻)，Green有寬度，有運動性，有能力在攻守兩端完成每一場戰鬥的優秀前鋒，老賽需要他在季後賽的每個晚上都這樣做。 4.Jimmy Butler, SF, Chicago Bulls In a season when Derrick Rose‘s supporting cast has been under scrutiny every single night, Butler has shined in his opportunities to contribute, particularly on the defensive side of things. He’s the battled the likes of LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony and more than held his own in those matchups. Some young players struggle with a sudden increase in minutes, many of them spent in different roles. But not Butler. The more he’s played the better he’s played, giving Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau yet another rugged contributor on a team filled with them. If Butler continues to score the way he has recently (15.6 ppg on 53 percent shooting in his last five games), he’ ll have an even greater impact than expected in the playoffs. 在這個沒有Rose支援球季，Butler把握住他的機會並且在防守端貢獻良多，他面對到到像小皇帝或是瓜瓜這樣球員的機會比他自己的還多，有些年輕球員在這種上場時間突然暴增的情況有些掙扎，他們通常扮演不同的角色，但不像Butler，他越打越好，這也讓公牛教頭Thibodeau多了個堅固耐用的貢獻者。如果Bulter繼續他最近這樣得分的表現(近五場比賽中有著53%的命中率 15.6分的表現) ，他將會再季後賽給予超乎球隊想像的影響力。 5.Corey Brewer, SF, Denver Nuggets This Wild Card thing is easy for Brewer. He does it daily for a talented and deep Nuggets team that has thrived all season by unleashing that depth on the opposition. What makes Brewer so effective in this role is his non-stop motor, his activity on both ends of the floor, his ability to shoot it from distance and the fact that he finishes at the rim and in transition. It’s pretty remarkable considering he doesn’t appear to have gained a single pound since middle school (we’re joking here). Brewer averages 12.2 ppg without any plays being called for him … ever. He should have “Wild Card” stitched across the back of his jersey instead of “Brewer.” 這件事對Brewer非常簡單，在金塊成功茁壯的這季，他深深地展現他的天份，並且撕裂對手的防守。Brewer這樣子高效率的表現，可以歸功於他扮演著球隊不會停止的發動機，他在攻守兩端的活躍性，他遠距離投籃以及轉換攻擊的能力，這真的是非常的傑出，而且他似乎從中學開始就沒有變胖（開個玩笑），他本季平均12.2分沒有任何主打他的戰術，他的球衣上應該刺上"Wild Card"而不是"Brewer"。不負責任翻譯 By Visa Card Jeremy Lin, Danny Green, Jeff Green, Jimmy Butler, Corey Brewer 以上這五位誰是你心中的"Wild Card"呢? -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 163.29.152.210
