翻湖人外電翻到太陽板來了，因為這篇實在是跟湖人太無關...打擾啦m(_ _)m http://goo.gl/B0pb PHOENIX -- There are no time limits anymore, no command to shoot 3-pointers like there's a never-ending ball rack off to the side. And yes, there are such things as bad shots in Phoenix these days. 沒有了七秒出手的極速快感、沒有了像是無止盡供應的無限連環三分彈，而且，號外啊，現在有所謂的「出手選擇」了。 Mike D'Antoni took the "seven seconds or less" era with him when he left for New York two seasons ago. 在D'Antoni改吃蘋果之後，便把他的「七秒出手」時代也一併帶走了。 But that's not to say that this calmer, gentler version, this "11 or 12 seconds or less" offense, doesn't look like the old days every so often. 不過這並不代表這個比較冷靜、比較Gentry...我是說gentle的版本，這個「12秒出手」的時代，跟古早味有極大的出入。 When the 2010 Suns offense is flowing, as it did Tuesday night in Phoenix' 115-106 win over the Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals, it can still burn hotter than any offense in the NBA. 在這2010年版本的太陽風吹起來，如同週二晚上以115-106燒乾湖人時，這頭鳳凰還是可以燒得比聯盟中任何一隊都更火辣辣。 Defense leads to offense leads to defense and before you can find the "comma" key on your keyboard, the Suns are up by 12. 防守帶動進攻又帶動防守又帶動進攻又帶... 你還沒找到鍵盤上的逗點太陽就領先了十二分。 "We're not seven seconds or less anymore," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said after Tuesday's victory. "But in our offense, if you're open and you don't shoot, it's really the same thing as shooting a bad shot. Our offense has a flow to it and that's the way we play." 很gentle的Gentry賽後表示：「我們不再是那支七秒光速男的球隊了。但在我們的進攻系統中，有空檔不出手跟亂出手是一樣的。我們的進攻有其流動，而那就是我們的打法。」 Phil：這發言...有我的味道(嗅)。 That flow is hard to describe, but you know it when you see it. Points, shooting percentage and 3-pointers-made tell just part of the story. 這流動很難以解釋，但只要你看到就會懂了，跟查克拉一樣。得分、命中率跟三分球只是其中的一部份。 When Phoenix is flowing, especially at home, the other team can hear it. The ringing in their ears, the pounding in their hearts as they race up and down the court, trying to stop water from running downhill. 當這整支球隊「流」了起來，尤其在主場，對手是會聽見神風的清響聲的。在他們全場跑著試圖阻止這力道向下奔流的同時，在他們的耳中、心跳中竄著。 One part of the game flows to the next, each part growing louder and more intense the longer it roars. 比賽中的一幕將會流到下一幕，而這聲音將隨著流動的時間越滾越響，越來越震耳欲聾。 At it's running, gunning, 3-point-loving best, the Suns' offense is like watching Brazil samba its way around a slow, defensive-minded European team on the soccer field. The court is spread, defenders are forced to chase, and there is always and open man. 在人球流動跟三分雨轟炸之中，太陽的進攻就像是巴西的足球森巴環繞著一支緩慢、守重於攻的歐洲球隊，場地彷彿被越扯越大，防守者被驅逐著全場奔馳，卻永遠都有一個人在空檔虎視眈眈。 "That's when we're at our best, because we're swinging the ball and we're finding open guys," Gentry said. "I think what we do is start playing with a lot of confidence when we make a lot of threes. What it does also is helps our defense, because it energizes us at that end too." 「這便是我們的最佳狀況，不停傳導並找到最佳的空檔。我們要做的就是帶著自信，丟進一堆三分。當進攻順了士氣上升，防守也會因此加強。」 This wasn't the first time the Suns have gotten their offense revved up in these playoffs. It's just that after the first two games in Los Angeles it didn't look like it would happen in this series. 這並不是太陽第一次在季後賽燃燒著進攻了，只不過是前兩場被淹成豬頭之後看起來似乎希望渺茫。 The Lakers so thoroughly outplayed the Suns in Games 1 and 2, you wondered whether Phoenix could even muster a moral victory in Games 3 and 4 at home. 在前兩戰中，湖人簡直是把太陽踩著打，你甚至會懷疑太陽有沒有辦法在家拿下那麼一場。 "I'm open to suggestions," Gentry famously lamented after the Lakers 124-112 win in Game 2. Gentry第二戰之後表示：「誰是接班人？換你做做看。」 It's not clear just who suggested the 2-3 zone Phoenix used to thwart the Lakers in Game 3, but it worked and it bought the Suns enough time to find their flow, finally, in Game 4. 到底是誰建議他採用2-3區防對付湖人是個謎，不過總之成功了，而且讓太陽因此在第四戰找到了那股「流動」。 "Yeah, everyone was saying after Game 3 and we were down 2-0 that (we) haven't even shot the ball well yet," said Suns point guard Steve Nash. "So it was nice to feel it kind of open up and the threes start going in. Steve「西方葉問」「現代關雲長」 Nash表示：「是啊，到第三戰為止大家都說我們連球都還投不好，能找回感覺看到三分球一顆顆跌進網子裡還滿爽的。」 "The second unit went on a nice run there (in the second quarter) and made a bunch of threes that was about as exciting a stretch as I've seen sitting on the sideline in my time here. It was fun to see the shots go." 「替補們在第三節拉出了一波漂亮的進攻，噴進了一卡車的三分，這是我坐在這張板凳上看過最過癮的得分表演了，刺激滿點，精采絕倫，心臟病者不宜。」 It's hard to say just where that flow went in the first two games of the series. 至於前兩場這感覺去哪了，也是個謎。 The eight days off in between playoff rounds may have left Phoenix rusty or soggy. The Lakers considerable length may have left them discouraged and overwhelmed. 也許是馬刺被橫掃害太陽冗太久，或是湖人看起來太威的錯。 Or, maybe it just took a few games to figure out how to feel their flow against this Lakers team. 或者只是他們需要打上幾場球才能找到湖人的破綻。 "You could tell right away tonight that they wanted to take away Amare (Stoudemire) early on," said reserve guard Jared Dudley, who scored 11 points, including three, 3-pointers on Tuesday night. "Once they did that, we just set up like target practice." 拿下包含三顆三分在內共11分的Dudley認為，「很早就看得出來他們不想讓阿罵在禁區打太極拳，但結果就是他們一個個像活靶一樣讓我們練投。」 After the game, Lakers guard Kobe Bryant looked disgusted with his team's defensive effort. 賽後，Kobe一想到那個防守都快吐了。 "We lost the game because our defense sucked," Bryant said sharply. "Our attention needs to be on the defensive end, period." 「我們輸球因為防守爛爆了。專心防守，句點。」 The thing about the Suns, even these "12 Seconds or Less" Suns, is that once their offense gets rolling, it's not a simple thing to turn off. 說到太陽，甚至是現在這個「12秒音速男」的太陽，就是一旦讓他們的進攻開關打開，要關掉可不只是按個按鈕這麼簡單了。 -- Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacque Wamutombo 迪更(姆)比莫湯(姆)柏姆柏藍多穆卡姆巴尚恩-賈奎沃莫湯(姆)柏狄肯貝姆登波波倫德姆坎尚克瓦姆登波笛穆頓朵金恩可穆頓德木桶伯我木桶伯《多重影分身與我－木桶伯傳》民明書坊 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.112.120.126
