[ DT ]Finding position in a positionless wor …
這篇文章還蠻有趣的，雖然最後結論有點虛。
借用這篇文章來討論一下Green也不錯！
**
I’ve never really figured out where I stand on positionality in the
NBA. I understand what makes a guy a point guard and what makes another a
center. Some would determine that difference simply as one guy is 7'1 and the
other is 6'1. Other might just determine it based on role and assignment.
Whatever the case, I understand what positions are. I just don’t really get
what they mean.
我其實不大清楚到底NBA怎麼分位置的。我知道為何他們讓某人打1號，讓某人打5號。
有些是因為身高的差距：6呎1跟7呎1，很容易就可決定誰打哪個位置。有的是基於球
員的角色跟任務。不管是怎樣的情形，我都知道何謂位置。不過我真的不清楚各位置
的意義是什麼。
We’ve heard the debate already. Russell Westbrook isn’t a true point guard.
Jeff Green isn’t an actual power forward. Robert Swift wasn’t a real
basketball player. So if they aren’t those things, what are they?
我們已經聽過好些爭論了。Russ不是個真．控衛，Uncle不是個真．大前鋒，
Robert Swift不是個真．籃球員。如果他們真的不是，那他們到底是什麼？
Rob Mahoney at The Two Man Game is honestly one of the smartest basketball
thinkers out there. And he dove into this topic some in regard to the Mavericks
roster, so I will shamelessly rip off his idea and apply it to the Thunder.
Some words of his I especially liked:
The Two Man Game的Rob Mahoney無疑是一名極為出色的籃球分析者，而他正對小牛隊
的球員進行相同的分析，所以我厚著臉皮的引用他的理論，並將它用在雷霆球員的身上。
以下是一些我認為他說的很有道理的意見：
"To those still clinging to what they know, I’d ask this: what’s a power
forward? What characteristics link Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Duncan, Rashard Lewis,
Lamar Odom, Reggie Evans, Tyrus Thomas, and J.J. Hickson? Not rebounding. Not
scoring. Not skill set. Not height relative to their teammates. Not even the
spaces they occupy on the floor. I’m at a total loss as to the criterion that
would group that bunch together, which makes the assessment 「Player X isn’t a
real power forward」 pretty much worthless. I think I know what it means, but
without the ability to define the contemporary power forward, how could I
really know for sure?"
"對於那些仍然堅持他們知道什麼的人，我想問他們，到底什麼才是大前鋒？要如何去找出
以下這些人的共通性：Dirk Nowitzki、Tim Duncan、Rashard Lewis、Lamar Odom、
Reggie Evans、Tyrus Thomas與J.J. Hickson？不能用籃板、不能用得分、不能用技巧、
不能用高度、甚至不能用他們在場上做的事。我完全迷惑了，根本搞不清楚這些傢伙的
共通標準，沒有一個共通標準，去分辨：某某不是真正的大前鋒，是一點意義都沒有的。
我認為我知道什麼是大前鋒，但我無法去定義當代的這些大前鋒。我要怎麼才能確定呢？"
Who did you think of during that entire paragraph? If you said Nenad Krstic, you
’d be wrong. But one player easily inserted into that list is Jeff Green.
Nobody knows what he is and honestly, nobody knows what he should be either.
Rob took the plot of his post from a column by Drew Cannon of Basketball
Prospectus. In that, there’s this section:
看完上面這段話，會讓你想到誰呢？如果你想到的是一哥Krstic，你錯得很徹底。很明顯
有一個人非常適合加入上面那個名單：Jeff Green。沒人知道他到底是個怎樣的球員，
老實說，也沒人知道他應該成為怎樣的球員。Mahoney根據Drew Cannon of Basketball
Prospectus的文章來輔助他的分析，請參考下面的精華擷取：

"But what do you really need from a lineup? On defense, you need to be able to
guard your opponents. This means you have to be ready for speeds and heights of
all kinds. You need to have a player capable of guarding each of the five
traditional C-PF-SF-SG-PG positions. We’ll call the players capable of
defending each position 「D1」 through 「D5,」 respectively, with
speed/athleticism on the x-axis and height/strength on the y-axis:"
"我們想要球員做到什麼？防守上，我們需要可以守住對方的人。這代表球員們要面對
各種不同的速度跟高度的球員。對手的每個位子我們都需要有可以抵抗的人，也就是傳統
上的分類-C-PF-SF-SG-PG。我將場上的球員以D1到D5做分類，x軸是速度/運動力，
y軸則是高度/體型。"

"And on offense what do you need to be successful? You need to be able to make
shots (from the field or free throw line), avoid turnovers, and clean up the
offensive glass–at the very least to the point where you aren’t handing over
points by doing the opposite. This means that you need someone who can take
care of the ball, someone who can put it in the basket, someone who can get the
ball to that guy, and someone who can get the ball back when someone misses. We
’ll call these four characters the Handler, the Scorer, the Creator, and the
Rebounder."
"那進攻上球員該做什麼才能(讓球隊)獲勝呢？我們需要進球(投籃進或罰球進)，避免失誤
，當別人沒投進的時候爭搶進攻籃板。這代表球員中需要有人處理球，有人要負責得分，
有人要負責把球傳給對的人，有人要負責把別人投不進的球搶回來。我將稱呼這些人做
處理者、得分者、製造機會者與籃板手。"
"Quick point. The Creator and the Handler have to be the same guy. Because you
can’t have your Creator losing the ball all the time before he can feed your
Scorers, and you can’t have your Handler with the ball all the time but unable
to get it to the Scorers."
快速整理：處理者跟製造機會者必須要是同一名球員，因為一個不能處理球的人，是沒辦法
製造機會給別人的，同時我們也不能一直控著球而看不見有更好機會的人。
"…It boils down to this: On defense, you have to be ready for whatever the
offense throws at you. But on offense, you really just need to rebound and
protect the ball enough to let your scorers go to work (or protect the ball
just enough that your dominant rebounding can keep putting points on the board
despite below-average scoring, etc.). Really, how you put points on the board
is your business. The defense is just reacting."
我來做個歸納：關於防守，我們必須要面對各種不同方式的進攻，不過關於進攻，我們只
需要鞏固籃板、把球保護好、並且讓隊上的得分手能夠發揮(或者是想辦法保護球一直到
讓自己最好的籃板手能夠要到位置，這樣儘管得分能力很爛，總還有機會讓他把投不進的球
補進去)。事實上，要怎麼得分是你家的事。防守則只是臨機應變罷了。
