開賽前來一發！ === http://tinyurl.com/4anffp4 Oklahoma City Thunder, where's the D? Assistant coach Ron Adams was largely responsible for the Thunder's stingy defense last season. Now he's in Chicago. How much is Ron Adams' loss to blame for the Thunder's defensive problems this season? By Darnell Mayberry, Staff Writer, dmayberry@opubco.com Published: January 16, 2011 The players haven't changed. And neither have the plays. Only one thing is different about the Thunder's defense. Ron Adams. 關於防守這回事，球員沒變，戰術沒變，只有一點與去年不同－今年沒有Ron Adams了。 The wily assistant coach who was largely credited for revamping the Thunder's once ragged defense jetted to Chicago last summer. With his departure, Oklahoma City's defense has seen a drastic drop off. 這名足智多謀的助理教練公認是去年雷霆防守突飛猛進的頭號功臣，可惜他本季接受了公牛的工作，回到芝加哥。隨著他的離開，雷霆的防守也隨之退步。 Entering tonight's game at the Los Angeles Lakers, which marks the midway point of the season, the Thunder has regressed in opponent points, opponent field-goal percentage, opponent 3-point field goal percentage, blocked shots, opponent turnovers and defensive efficiency. 在與今天對決湖人之前檢視數據，雷霆的失分、對手命中率、對手三分球命中率、火鍋次數、對手失誤次數跟防守效率全面退步。 That's just about every major defensive category, with the lone exclusion being rebounding. 幾乎是所有跟防守有關的數據都退步了，除了籃板以外。 Several players admit that Adams' departure has been a significant factor. 一些球員承認Adams的離開對防守有很大的影響。 “Ron Adams was a big part of our defense,” said Thunder center Nenad Krstic. “He was always talking about that. He was always getting on some guys if they don't play good defense. We really miss him.” 一哥表示：「Adams是我們防守能力的一大關鍵。他總是在強調防守，如果有人防守表現不佳，他一定會想辦法幫他改正。我們真的很想念他。」 Practice sessions are said to be the same this season as last year's. And from a scheme standpoint, the Thunder hasn't changed anything. But having Adams harp on all the finer points made a major difference, players say. 今年練習時，教練團強調的東西跟去年一模一樣。從整體規劃角度來看，雷霆也沒有改變任何東西，不過球員說沒有Adams持續不停的提點那些重要的概念真的差很大。 “The way we drilled it and the way he explained it to some of the younger guys, ” explained guard Thabo Sefolosha. Thabo表示：「我們練習他所說的概念，幾個年輕人不懂的時候，他也會解釋給他們聽。」 Thunder players have been careful to not use Adams' loss as an excuse. And they're not. 雷霆球員們相當謹慎，不把Adams的離開當作藉口。這確實也不能當作藉口。 “It's not like he took what we we're doing when he was here with him,” said Nick Collison. “We're doing the same things. The players just have to do a better job of executing it. The game plan hasn't changed. We just haven't done it well. We just need to do the work.” Nick表示：「我們努力過的，他並沒有帶走。我們仍然在做一樣的事情，球員們只是需要把這些東西執行的更完善。計畫並沒有變，只是我們作的不好，我們需要更努力訓練。」 Thunder coach Scott Brooks attributed this season's shortcomings to his team still being in the early stages of building good habits. Rather than blame defensive deficiencies on Adams' departure, Brooks chooses to focus on the fundamentals that the Thunder has found difficult to execute consistently. Brooks教練認為本季球隊顯露出的缺點只是因為球隊還在建立觀念。與其抱怨Adams的離開讓防守下滑，Brooks選擇專注於找出球隊為何表現無法持續的原因。 Those areas include stopping the ball, playing better man-to-man defense, playing good help side defense, contesting shots and rebounding well. 這包括了停止球的流動、更好的對位防守、更好的協防、防阻對手投籃與鞏固籃板等。 “We have to improve on all those areas,” Brooks said. “We're not horrible on any of those areas. But there is room for improvement in all of those areas.” Brooks教練表示：「這幾個點都是我們必須要加強的。我們表現的並不那麼糟糕，但還有很大進步空間就是了。」 -- 哲學的義務，是去除因誤解而生的幻想。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 211.22.7.197
