infoverdad ~~【翻譯文】分享一篇對林書豪防守能力較客觀的評論

林書豪的表現被一些人批評攻強守弱，林書豪如果想要保證自己新賽季的位置，防守端還是要多下點苦功。有籃球評論作家肖恩(Shawn)近日在美國網站《HoopFiles》發表的一篇文章中，對林書豪的防守能力有較為客觀的分析及評論。

在他看來，林書豪防守可圈可點，很靈活，腳步輕快，臂展也不錯，可以給對手製造干擾。在對付大多數控衛時，豪小子在一對一對抗中並非處於下風。當然，林書豪面對速度極快的頂級控衛會比較吃力，但即便速度再快的對手，林書豪也不會輕易讓他們突破到籃下。

肖恩認為林書豪防擋拆方面也不錯，雖然有時候會顯得吃力，但他調整能力很好，不會一直吃相同的虧。哪怕是被對方的大個子球員擋得失去防守位置，也會努力對持球人緊追不捨，努力破壞對方節奏和投籃感覺。肖恩還誇讚林書豪的抄截能力，認為這是豪小子防守端的亮點。

文章最後總結道，由於當初林來瘋給人的震撼太大，也使得一些人對他抱有太高期望，所以才誤解豪小子的防守能力。多給林書豪一些時間，多給豪小子加油、肯定，肖恩相信他會發揮得更好。

Player Profile: Jeremy Lin  球員簡介：林書豪

Posted on August 19, 2013 by Shawn

For the third season in a row, Jeremy Lin will be forced to learn how to play with a new star teammate as he tries to develop his own game.  Following the highs of Linsanity in 2012, he struggled to adjust to being a secondary option, both with Carmelo Anthony and then last season with James Harden.  Now with Dwight Howard joining the fold in Houston, let’s take a look at how Lin’s game stacks up, and whether he will be able to contribute around a Harden-Howard core.

連續第三個賽季，正當林書豪試圖打出自己球風之際，又再次被迫要學習與新明星隊友搭配打球。在經歷過2012年林來瘋高潮後，先是配合甜瓜安東尼，然後是上賽季成為新隊友的哈登，他努力調整自己成為稱職的球隊進攻次要選項。現在則是因有霍華德加盟休斯頓行列，就讓我們來看看林的球賽是如何堆疊，以及他是否將能在以哈登及霍華德為核心的球賽中做出貢獻..

Offense  進攻

A strong pick and roll scorer, especially going to his right, Lin loves to get free off his screen heading into the middle of the floor. From here he can dart into the lane for a layup or a quick floater, and if the defense doesn’t have a big walling off the paint he can be very difficult to stop. If open in the middle of the floor he is also able to utilize his crisp passing to find shooters on the perimeter or backdoor cutters for easy layups, although more often than not he is looking to score himself.

一位擋拆得分高手，尤其是右邊，林很愛透過擋拆隊友掩護由中間地板切入。從這裡他可突破禁區上籃或快速拋投，若禁區防守牆不夠強大是很難讓他停得下來的。雖然多半也會尋求自己得分的機會，但如果中間地板有空檔，他也能夠利用乾脆俐落的傳球找到在外線或後門的隊友切入籃下輕鬆上籃。

Now for the bad news. First, he almost always looks to score or kick the ball out to the three-point line, not hit the roll man. This turns one of the best options on the floor into a glorified folding chair.  If the opposing big guarding the roll man is parked in the middle of the floor forcing Lin to the baseline (which many of the best defenses make a point of doing), he struggles mightily to adjust and either finish in traffic from the side of the floor or to make a pass that knocks the defense off balance.

現在來說說壞消息。首先，他看起來幾乎總是投三分球或將球傳到三分線的隊友，而非傳給擋拆後的切入球員。結果這成了贏得榮耀最好的選擇之一了。如果對方守著擋拆後的切入球員且是站在中間地板將迫使林退到底線（許多最佳防禦很強調的做法），他就得很掙扎地調整，不是在邊線中途出手取分就是得傳球迫使對方防守失衡。

Lin relies heavily on his straight line speed to get buckets, both in the half court and in transition, and when he is stopped things can get interesting quickly.  Several times he was stripped by double teams 25 feet from the basket, locked up inside when surrounded by opposing bigs, or bottled up on the baseline, inspiring him to launch a risky pass all because he was forced to come to a stop and reevaluate the situation.

林在半場和攻防轉換有很大程度上是依賴他的直線速度來取得投籃機會，當他被阻停時事情很快就變得有意思了。有好幾次，他在距籃框25英尺內被包夾，不是被對方的大個子環繞鎖死在中間，或是被封鎖在底線，促使他做出高風險的傳球，都因為他被迫停了下來，並重新評估局面所致。

Lin’s passing is a hit or miss proposition: while some players are good shooters that need to improve their shot selection, he is a good passer who needs to improve his pass selection.  Often he will fire a sharp pass past the defense to a cutter who gets an easy layup, only to over dribble and try to force a pass inside or across the floor which usually winding up in the other team’s hands on the next possession. He would do well to watch old tape of Steve Nash darting under the basket and looking to pass out to the perimeter.

林的傳球是不穩定的嗎：就像一些優秀的射手球員一樣，需要提高自己的投籃選擇，他是一個很好的傳球手，也需要提高他的傳球選擇。他往往能越過防守者將球俐落地傳給擋拆後切入的隊友輕鬆上籃得分，但當他過度運球或硬要往內或跨球場傳球時很容易造成球權轉換。他如果去看看史蒂夫納什過去在籃框下的突破切入或將球傳給外線隊友的舊錄影帶應該會有幫助的。

One positive for Lin is his solid midrange shooting when stopped higher on the floor. If he is walled off by the defense near the free throw line he will often pull up for a midrange jumper.  While he generally isn’t a very good shooter, he hit 41.1% of his shots from 16-23 feet last season, and the numbers were even higher when looking at just the right side of the floor, where he is more likely to pull up. Houston stays away from long 2-pointers almost entirely as a team, but in certain scenarios they can be the best shot available, and hitting over 40% is a big plus. These numbers, especially from the right side, were present from his time in New York as well, so this likely isn’t a fluke.

幸好林還有紮實的中距投射能力。如果他在罰球線附近被阻擋，往往會拉一個中距離跳投。雖然平常算不上是非常好的射手，上賽季他的16-23英尺距離的命中率達到41.1％，若光看他常用的右側數據的話甚至會更高。休斯頓幾乎全隊都不太打長距離兩分球，但在某些情況下，那可能是最佳的投射機會，所以能有超過40％的命中率算是很大的加分。這些數據，尤其是右側，從他在紐約就已存在至今，所以不太可能只是僥倖。

Often Lin isn’t able to run the pick and roll due to the presence of Harden, who is also at his best when handling the ball. Occasionally Harden was used as the screener for him, but these plays usually failed to result in much because of Harden’s inability to create space with his picks.  This leaves Lin spotting up on the perimeter, a position in which he isn’t particularly comfortable. He isn’t a bad shooter necessarily, knocking down 33.9% of threes last season, but he is still below average and will need to improve in order to provide spacing around Howard.

由於哈登也擅於持球打球，所以往往讓林不能執行擋拆。哈登偶爾也會幫他擋人掩護，但成效不佳，因為哈登不能為擋拆創造空間。這使得林只好轉而尋找在那些並不是讓他投球特別舒服的位置的外線隊友。他不見得真是不好的射手，但上賽季33.9％的三分球命中率，仍低於平均水準有需要改善，以便得以為霍華德創造空間。

Currently a lot of his spot up chances come from “around the horn” ball movement, when a kickout to another player results in passing around the perimeter until he is left wide open.  On these looks (and others) he often takes an extra dribble or makes an unnecessary fake before firing away.  This needs to be eliminated from his spot up motion, which should be the same on every shot.  Improving his accuracy on these opportunities is the biggest improvement he can make, and would allow him to share the floor constantly with Harden and Howard.

目前很多投籃策應機會，來自所謂的『喇叭環繞』式的傳球法，也就是先將球傳到外線，再持續在外線隊友間互傳，直到找到大空檔為止。看起來，他在進攻前常有不必要的額外運球或假動作，確實是有必要予以消除的。因為提昇他在這些機會的精準度是他能做出的最大的改進，並得以持續穩定地與哈登和霍華德分享球權。

 

Defense  防守

Lin rates out as very middle of the road defensively. He doesn’t really seem like he’s getting torched on tape, but guys consistently hit their averages going against him.

在防守上林的評價屬中等。在錄影帶上看來，他並不真的看起來像被折磨，但很多球員確實持續在與他對打時提昇了統計數據平均值。

There are definitely some positives, solid quickness and good length being at the top of the list.  Lin will use these to stick with most point guards, even the lightning fast ones, when they try to penetrate in isolation.  Even when he does get beat, he usually manages to recover enough to get near the ballhandler.  Unfortunately with the quickest point guards he is often just quick enough to be there when a layup is going in, but everyone struggles defending those guys.

在防守上林絕對有優點的，尤其是他靈活的腳步及臂展。在對付大多數即便是快如閃電的控衛時，林在一對一對抗中並非處於下風。就算被打敗，他還是會設法儘快盯緊持球的對手，不給他輕鬆得分的機會。不幸的是，面對速度極快的頂級控衛也會比較吃力，但無論換誰對上那樣的超快控衛都會同樣疲於應對的。

Facing pick and rolls Lin will get tangled up in the screen, occasionally comically so, but again faces the problem of being able to fight through just enough to be at the hip of the ballhandler coming off the pick.  Against some players this is enough to disrupt their shot or rhythm, while others forget he’s even there at that point as they are too focused on making their move at the rim.

談到防擋拆方面，林書豪常被擋人的大個子球員糾纏住，偶爾還蠻搞笑的，但他的調整能力很好，不會一直吃相同的虧。就算失去了防守位置，他也會努力對持球人緊追不捨，努力破壞對方的節奏和投籃感覺。

Off the ball is the same mixed bag – decent quickness combined with ok, not great, instincts.  All told this side of the ball is very “meh” for Lin. The Rockets defended about as well with him on the court as with him on the bench.  The only interesting thing that comes from his efforts on this end is a solid steals rate, which allows him to get out and run in transition where he can make use of his athleticism.

林書豪的抄截能力也是同樣喜憂參半，好的速度配上雖非頂尖但還可以的直覺。大家都說這個對林書豪而言是還好的事，火箭隊不斷得在放他在球場上或板凳上的事情上為自己開脫。唯一有趣的事情，他在這方面的努力有了一個穩定的抄截率，讓他可以善用不錯的運動能力在攻防轉換之際。

That’s really the rub on Lin at this point: average. The highs of Linsanity and the (falsely perceived) lows of the past season all end at that point, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.  It’s fairly obvious that his current game would benefit from a move to a 6th man role where he could log 25 minutes a night as a first option, but that doesn’t seem to be in the cards.

So any improvements that help him fit around the Harden-Howard duo are going to be key to his success in the coming season, and may determine whether he finishes the season in Houston or donning a different team’s jersey.

客觀來講，林書豪的防守表現屬中等水平。當初林來瘋給人的震撼太大，也使一些人對他抱有太高的期望，所以才誤解他的防守能力，而那不一定是件壞事。顯然，若他轉成第六人角色將會受益，在那裡他可以登錄25分鐘的上場時間作為第一選擇，但是那似乎並不在球隊當前的選項中。

所以任何能幫助他適應哈登與霍華德二人組的進步，將是他在本賽季取得成功的關鍵，並可能確定他是否完成本賽季在休斯敦或披不同球隊的球衣。
