After Ron, a transition game Ron 事件之後的一次蛻變作者 Tim Legler 出處　ESPN Insider 來源　http://tinyurl.com/9ltx8 As much as we are entertained by the Ron Artest soap opera, the real-life victims are the Indiana Pacers, who have to continue to play three or four games a week. 我們可能相當愉快的觀賞著 Ron Artest 主演的這場鬧劇，但是，現實生活中的受害者－溜馬隊，這個禮拜可是有三到四場比賽要打。 Before Thursday's gutty 99-89 win in Golden State, the Pacers had lost five of their last six. Overall, they are just 7-6 since Artest last played. 在週四晚間以９９－８９轟轟烈烈的勝過勇士隊之前，溜馬隊輸掉六場比賽中的五場。 Artest 被冰之後他們的戰績是七勝六敗。 Some think the Pacers are probably distracted by the Artest affair, but I don't think that's the real problem. 有些人認為溜馬可能被 Artest 的行為給影響，因此分心。但是，我不認為那是個問題。 Rather, I think this situation creates two other problems. 其實，我認為這樣的情況創造了兩個問題。 First, they just can't put their best team on the floor. This team was built to be a big, strong, physical team, based on the post play of Jermaine O'Neal and the all-around play of Ron Artest. 第一：溜馬沒辦法擺出最佳陣容出賽。這支球隊的建軍理念是「身材高壯、有對抗性」，主打 Jermaine O'Neal 的低位、背框攻擊，加上 Ron Artest 的全面打法。 Suddenly, the Pacers are a lot smaller. Instead of the 6-7, 260-pound Artest at "small" forward, the Pacers are using Stephen Jackson, a natural two guard. 突然間，溜馬隊的尺寸小了一號。取代六呎七吋兩百六十磅「小」前鋒 Artest 的是 Stephen Jackson ，一位理應負責「控衛」、「得分後衛」的球員。 Jackson is a good player -- but not only is he out of position, but he's miscast now as a primary scorer. He's a solid third scorer, the kind of guy who can get you 15 a night. Now he'll be expected to get more like 20 a night, and that's not really the kind of player he is. Jackson 是位好選手，但是，他不止被擺在錯誤的位置，還被錯誤的定位成主攻手。他是個相當稱職的第三出手選擇，那種一晚就是可以十五分的選手。現在他被期望要一晚二十分，而這絕非他能力所及。 Likewise, the Pacers are now smaller at the two guard spot, with Jackson forced over to the forward spot. 同樣的，溜馬在兩個後衛的位置上也都小了一號，因為 Jackson 被拉上來鋒線作戰。 Overall, this creates mismatches against them, and hurts their ability to defend and rebound. The Pacers are built on defense and rebounding -- the things that Artest does well. Now the Pacers just aren't doing those things as well. 整體而言，這創造了「錯位」（mismatch），傷害溜馬隊防守以及爭奪籃板的能力。溜馬隊的核心能力是防守、搶籃板，也就是 Artest 在行的事情。現在溜馬不再能夠執行這兩樣工作。 The second problem is that the absence of Artest, especially as he just sits out without being replaced, is demoralizing. 第二個問題：少了 Artest ，注意是「少了」而不是「交易出去」 Artest ，讓他只是不出賽。而這樣子的情況嚴重的傷害士氣。 This was a team that had championship aspirations -- for two years they've been expecting to be a title contender. Now, for the second year in a row, they have to settle for being just another team. Sure, they can make the playoffs, but that's not what they had in mind when they started the season. 這是支有冠軍相的球隊，連續兩年來，溜馬隊一直是奪冠的人選之一。現在，連續兩年，他們必須接受自己是「ＮＢＡ東區中央組溜馬隊」而非，「奪冠熱門球隊溜馬隊」。當然，他們會進入季後賽，但是，這不是他們開季的目標。 Also, they have to feel somewhat betrayed by the front office. No doubt the organization is doing what it can to make a good trade. But not only did the front office bring Artest back, but they also have been unable to make a move so far to help the team. That makes it difficult, both in basketball terms and in terms of morale, for the players who are actually playing. 還有，他們應該也有點覺得被管理階層背叛。毫無疑問的，管理階層正在努力橋出一個最好的交易。但是，管理階層不止留下 Artest ，還沒有替球隊做出一些真正重要的調整。對真正上場的球員來說，不論是場上的表現時，或是私下的士氣，都很難受。 Coach Rick Carlisle has done about as much as a coach can to handle these two issues. He's a strong tactician, and he knows how to keep a team moving in the right direction. 教練 Rick Carlisle 已經針對這兩個問題做出最大的努力。他有相當強的教戰能力，而且他知道如何讓球隊在一個正確的方向上前進。 But, let's face it. Without Ron Artest, this just isn't the Indiana Pacers that anyone, including the Pacers, expected. 但是，讓我們面對這件事情吧。少了 Ron Artest 這支球隊不再是大家期待的溜馬隊，甚至對溜馬隊自己來說都是這樣。ＥＳＰＮ　ＮＢＡ　ＥＳＰＮ　ＮＢＡ　ＥＳＰＮ　ＮＢＡ　ＥＳＰＮ　ＮＢＡ感想．．第一個問題比較有趣，至少，我好像沒有看過這樣的分析。至於溜馬隊球員士氣受影響ｂａｌａｂａｌａ這就已經老梗了。談到士氣，今天ＮＢＡ　Ｔｖ中場報導，巴爵士倒是講到一點「勇士隊比溜馬隊更受交易傳言影響」，他指出第一節失魂落魄的勇士隊似乎沒有心打球，而是在想著到底今晚賽後會不會收到「恭喜你即將轉隊通知」。這樣的說法我還比較相信．．哈哈，看到巴爵士講話真的情不自禁會相信，雖然很毒可是聽起來又言之有物。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.117.71.156
