http://0rz.tw/sYOqJ No matter how good a player is, the focus always seems to be on what he needs to improve. And make no mistake, even the all-time greats had weaknesses; nobody is a perfect basketball player. The tendency then, is to talk about what the player needs to improve in order to get better, but what people tend to forget is that sometimes improving in one area might have unintended negative consequences in other areas. 不管一名球員有多棒，大家的焦點總是放在他什麼地方需要進步。但不管是誰都會有缺點，沒有人是完美的。大家很容易談論球員哪裡該進步，但都會忘記一個地方的進步可能會造成其他方面負面的影響。 Would it be nice if Tyreke Evans had a more consistent jump shot? Sure, I am not going to sit here and advocate for a guy to miss jump shots rather than make them. But, let’s not ignore the possible dangers either. If you grew up watching basketball in the 90′s, you probably remember Patrick Ewing as a great jump shooting center. He didn’t start off that way, though. Initially, he was extremely raw offensively and was much closer to Tyson Chandler or Andre Drummond than what he became later in his career. As any Knick fan from back then and they will tell you that they hated when he started hitting his jumper, because that meant he would fall in love with it and he would stop posting up. Early on, Ewing regularly shot 55 – 57% from the field, but once he started focusing on his jumper, those numbers plummeted to 46 – 48%. 如果reke有穩定的跳投是好事嗎？的確，我不會坐在這裡跟某個人說你不要進會比較好。但是也不要忘了潛在的危機。如果你有參與到90年代的籃球，也許還記得大猩猩跳投很棒，但一開始他並不是這樣子的。一開始他的進攻更像是泰山或裝猛，尼克迷也許會跟你說當他開始投進跳投時，他們就開始悔恨了，因為他愛上了那種感覺，而不低位當打了。原本大猩猩的命中率為55%~57%，但從開始專注於跳投時，下降到只有46%~48% Ewing became more versatile, but by turning a weakness into a quasi-strength, he also sacrificed what was already clearly a strength for him and his overall game suffered as a result. And it is not like Patrick Ewing is the only example of this; it is quite common. In fact, let’s talk about an even better comparison for Tyreke. The Case of Rajon Rondo If you read my articles or listen to the podcast, you probably know that I think that ‘a bigger Rajon Rondo’ is the best player comparison for Tyreke. They are two guys who can get into the paint at will, rebound well for guards, are terrors in the open court, and can get their teammates easy looks. For years, people said that Rondo needed only a better jump shot to make himself an elite guard. But guess what happened? He improved that shot and has now started to fall in love with it and because of that we just witnessed the least efficient season of his career. 如果有讀過我的文章的人，也許會知道我認為reke就像是大一號的軟豆。他們都能夠在油漆區來去自如，在後衛當中都算是能搶板的，而且在開放式攻擊都很恐怖，有能力幫隊友製造出空檔。這麼多年來，人們都說軟豆只要再有更佳的跳投就能成為頂尖後衛。但你猜怎麼了？他的確跳投進步了，而且也開始愛上這種感覺，但他今年是生涯效率最差的一年 Coming into this season, Rondo’s three-point rate was under 6 percent. This season, it is at nearly 26 percent! At his peak, he was taking nearly 56% of his shots within three feet of the basket. This season, just 32.6% of his shots are from within three feet. And it’s no surprise that with more threes and less shots at the rim, his free throw rate has plummeted as well – from as high as 41% his rookie year to just 19% this year. 本季前軟豆投三分的比例不到6%，今年卻將近26%。在他顛峰的時候在三呎內將近投了56% 的籃。本季只有32.6%是在三呎內，所以不意外地多投了3分少在籃框附近投射，罰球率也大幅下降，菜鳥年有41%今年只剩19% Fans and even stat geeks like myself love the three, because hitting it at even a decent rate is so much more valuable than hitting twos at good rates, but for special talents like Rondo, that just doesn’t hold up. At his peak, Rondo was shooting 65% at the rim, meaning that he would have to hit 44% of his threes to be more efficient from beyond the arc as he was at the rim. Now I know that we have this unproven, yet somehow prevailing logic that “If a guy is a threat from the outside, it makes it easier for him to get to the rim. It opens up other parts of his game.” 大家都喜歡三分，因為就算命中率很平凡但還是比好命中率的二分有價值，但是對於軟豆和reke這種怪咖而言，這句話並不成立。在顛峰時軟豆在籃框附近命中率是65%，意味著他的三分必須要有44%才會更有效率。但還有一個邏輯沒有去證明，就是如果有外圍投射的威脅，那將會打開他切入的路。 If that is true, then why does Rondo’s highest FG percentage at the rim coincide with the seasons that he took the fewest jump shots and his lowest FG percentages at the rim coincide with the years he took the most threes? The fact is that guys like Rondo and Tyreke can get to the basket at will, and they don’t even need the threat of a jumper to do so. If you play too far off them, it gives them a chance to get their momentum up and they will hit you with a eurostep that you can’t defend. If you crowd them, they get right past you and use strength (Evans) or creativity (Rondo) to finish. 如果這句話是對的，那為什麼剛好軟豆命中率最高時是他跳投最少的時候，而命中率最低時是三分投最多的時候？事實就是像他們這種能夠隨意切入的傢伙，並不需要跳投的威脅。如果你離他們遠，就給了他們起動的機會，可以來個歐洲步讓你防不勝防。如果貼的很近，他們會用他們的優勢來過你。 Honestly, the trick to guys like this is not to necessarily improve on their weaknesses, but to get them on the court with the right complimentary pieces. Rondo and Evans can get past the first guy every time. What they have problems with are the second and third guy waiting for them at the rim if you don’t have an offensive weapon on the court that the defense has to worry about. Perhaps adding a better mid-range jumper helps in those situations – something Rondo did even in the years he was going to the rim a lot – but, a three-point shot is not something that needs to be the focus of either guys’ game for them to be an elite offensive player. 老實來說，這些傢伙的使用方式並不是非要改善他們的缺點不可，而是要放對的人和他們搭配。軟豆和reke能輕鬆過掉第一個人，問題就在於如果場上沒有其他進攻威脅的話，後面會有第二個甚至第三個人在等他們。也許新增中距離會對這情況有所幫助-這也是軟豆今年所做的，甚至中距離還投的比切入還多，但三分就不是他們必要的了。 What Should Evans Work On? If Evans improves his mid-range and three-point shot, and let’s say he improves both by 5%, that would only have added 27 points to his season totals this year. If he were to add a field goal percentage increase of 5% on his shots between 0-3 feet, he would have added 56 points to his season total. Extend that to all of the shots in the paint and you are looking at adding a total of 84 additional points to his season total. 要是reke改善他的中距離和三分，如果兩個都進步5%，也才增加27分。如果三呎內的投籃命中率進步5%，那就是多了56分。如果禁區內的這樣子算起來，會多了84分。 It just makes sense for him to take the thing that he does at an elite level (get to the rim) and improve on the secondary part of the equation (finishing at the rim). An increase in explosiveness could help him finish, as could improvement in his technique – Evans takes his eyes off the rim before he finishes quite often. In fact, improving his vision when he drives hard will help in other areas too. Evans has had shooters open on numerous occasions when the defense collapses and there is almost always a lob opportunity when AD is on the court. 對他來說多上籃是合理的事。增強爆發力也許可以幫助他上籃，增強技術也是。reke在上籃投籃前眼睛容易飄掉。增強他在切入時的視野也會對其他方面有所幫助。 Does that mean he should completely ignore his jump shot? Of course not. The summer should never be used to work exclusively on one or two aspects of your game. A player should always be improving, both physically and mentally. The mid-range shot off the dribble should be a focus as well, as he gets that shot quite often when he curls off a screen and his defender goes under. In one summer, Rajon Rondo went from a 32% shooter on his mid-range jumpers to a 46% shooter on that same shot. That same year, Rondo’s three-point rate actually went down and his true shooting percentage took the biggest jump of his career. 那就代表著可以不用管跳投了嗎？當然不是。夏天的訓練從來就不是只專注在少數的事情上。球員應該一直在進步，急停中投也應該是重點，因為他在過擋人的時候，對手常常會沉退，就有機會可以投射了。在一個夏天內軟豆中距離跳投從32%進步為46%，同樣一年，他的三分命中率卻是下降的，而他的TS%卻是生涯進步最多的一年。 Another thing that Tyreke can stand to improve on is his post game. He has posted up just 56 times this year. The good news? He got fouled on 11 of those attempts. The bad news? He turned the ball over on 15 of those possessions. The in between news is that he went just 10 of 28 on post ups. Next season, he will likely exclusively play at one of the guard positions, meaning that he should have either a strength or a foot quickness advantage over his defender (sometimes both). Evans would be smart to improve his post game, both learning how to score out of it and pass out of it when teams double. Imagine Tyreke on a smaller guard in the post with Anderson, Holiday, and Morrow around the three-point line and Davis spotting up at 17 feet, willing to rim run if his defenders leaves to double. 另外一個東西reke要進步的就是他的低位，他今年低位56次。好消息是有11次被犯規。壞消息是他失誤了高達15次。還OK的就是投28進10。下個球季他很有可能打其中一個後衛的位置，也就代表著他對上對方的後衛有優勢。reke是能夠改善他的低位，而且學習在包夾的時候如何傳球出去。想像一下當reke低位單打較小隻的後衛，搭配著外圍的Ryno、Jrue 和A-Mo，還有埋伏在17呎隨時要往裡面衝的AD。 Conclusion Tyreke Evans can stand to improve his outside shot, but it should not be the top priority this summer. Evans has never had even an average jump shot and he has been able to dominate games in spite of that. His ability to get to the rim and his brute strength combined with his quickness and phenomenal ball handling is what makes him unique in this league. There are hundreds of guys who can shoot the ball from the perimeter, and several of them on this roster in fact. The move should not be to make Evans more like them, instead it should be to take his strengths and take what he does well to the next level. A Tyreke Evans who can finish at the rim at a higher level and dominate smaller guards in the post will be a one-of-a-kind weapon. That is the foundation of his game. Make the foundation as strong as possible. Work on the landscaping later. reke需要進步他的外圍投射，但不應該是最優先的事。他的跳投一直不好，但還是能夠宰制比賽。他的切入能力以及敏捷和運球能力的結合使得他獨一無二。就算是在隊上也有許多人能夠在外圍跳投，所以並不是要讓reke更像他們，而是應該發揮他的長處，幫助他往下個層級邁進。能夠高效率的切入以及低位單打小後衛才是他的根，應該讓他的強項盡可能地強，其他的可以慢一點。 ==================================================================== 這點其實很久之前就已經提過了，三分非必要，而是一個輔助的武器，所以不是要優先專注於跳投的訓練，而是將他的強項再練的更強，然後要怎麼在對方必須提防他的情況下替隊友製造出更好的機會。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.231.105.115 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/TyrekeEvans/M.1397790206.A.018.html
