卡哇伊莱昂纳德
莱昂纳德因脚踝伤势缺席了2017-18 赛季的年夜部门角逐,这有可能预示着他不会再成为阿谁受伤之前的莱昂纳德.但假如他完全健康的话,MVP 的争取者中心必定少不了他.
Leonard is better than DeRozan at everything , except he never got the chance to be a primary playmaker like DeRozan because the Spurs ran an equal-opportunity system with a plethora of ball handlers. In 2016-17 , 30.9 percent of Leonard ’s offensive possessions were pick-and-rolls.
莱昂纳德各方面都比德罗赞强,只是他从未有机遇能像德罗赞那样充任球队主导者,由于马刺队进攻系统平衡且持球者浩繁.16-17 赛季,莱昂纳德的进攻中挡拆比例到达30.90%.
By contrast , 52.8 percent of DeRozan ’s last season were pick-and-rolls , per Synergy. But over 12 games in the 2017 playoffs , Leonard ’s pick-and-roll usage increased to 40.6 percent of his plays. Leonard scored with tremendous efficiency , as you ’d expect , and his passing was sharp.
与此构成光鲜对照的是,上赛季德罗赞挡拆占比52.80%.可是2017 年季后赛中,有跨越12 场的角逐,莱昂纳德挡拆比例骤升至40.60%,随之而来的是可骇的得分效力.同时如你所料,他的传球也很锋利.

by contrast [ba k ɑntrst ] [词组] 比拟之下; 相形之下;
pick-and-roll 保护走位,挡拆
tremendous [trmends ] adj. 庞大的;恐怖的,惊人的
Leonard sometimes unnecessarily picks up his dribble before passing , an old habit from his college years at San Diego State , but he ’s improved significantly at throwing darts off the dribble like in the video above on the pass to Danny Green , who was also traded to the Raptors.
莱昂纳德传球前时不时总会多运几下球,这是他在圣迭格州读年夜学时养成的老习惯,可是他在这个方面已有了很年夜的前进,就像上面的视频中传给丹尼 ·格林的阿谁球一样.格林也被买卖到了猛龙队.
We already know that , if healthy , Leonard will defend at an elite level and score with efficiency through a diversity of plays. The interesting variable is his playmaking. If Leonard is empowered to handle the rock and facilitate , it won ’t be long until he ’s the favorite to win MVP.
我们都知道,假如身体健康的话,伦纳德的戍守是精英程度,得分更是多样化和高效力.有趣的变数是他的打法.假如莱纳德被付与权利可以矫捷的持球进攻,那末很快他就成为荣获MVP 最热点的人选.
dribble [drbl ] n. 运球
significantly [sgnfkntli ] adv. 较着地,值得注视地
德文布克
提到德文布克,人们不轻易将他和MVP 联系起来,虽然他曾独砍70 分.太阳队不是很有竞争力,他们近期必定无缘季后赛.就算布克能打出使人冷艳的表示,但汗青上除天勾贾巴尔之外,没有任何一个跌出季后赛球队的球员取得过MVP.可是布克必需被列在候选人名单里,由于在他的头三个赛季里,他变得愈来愈好：承当更多的责任,具有更高的得分效力.
If Booker keeps progressing , the 2018-19 season could be his breakout campaign. (And if the Suns didn ’t stink so much last season , he could ’ve just had it.) Last season , Booker became only the 11th player to average over 24 points before turning 22 years old.
假如布克连结前进,那末18-19 赛季将是他爆发之季(假如不是太阳队上个赛季那样摆烂,他也许已做到了).上赛季,布克成了NBA 汗青上第11 位在22 岁前场均得分跨越24 分的球员.
LeBron James and Kevin Durant did it twice , and the five retired players who did it all made the Hall of Fame. It ’s a good sign for Booker. And now he ’s about to play with new teammates , with a new coach , and in a new system.
勒布朗詹姆斯和凯文杜兰特实现过两次,别的五位告竣此成绩的已退役球星均进入了名人堂.这对布克来说是个好兆头.别的这个赛季他将和一些新队友并肩作战,另外还新主帅和全新的系统.
stink [stk ] vi. 披发出恶臭,摆烂
Booker was projected as a pure shooting guard in the Klay Thompson mold after his freshman season at Kentucky , but he ’s drastically improved his ball handling to become a more dynamic scorer.
在肯塔基州他的菜鸟赛季后,太阳队将布克以克莱汤普森为模板打造成一个纯得分后卫,但他却年夜幅度提高他的控球能力以成为一个双能卫.
He ’s crafty once he gets in the lane , utilizing floaters and off-balance layups ; and if a shot isn ’t available , he ’s a willing , capable passer. Booker must get better at whipping cross-court passes and putting more velocity on the ball , but that ’ll come in time.
布克冲击到油漆区会带来很年夜要挟,他会操纵抛投并且能在掉去均衡的环境下上篮到手；当投篮受阻的时辰,他能自动传出一手好球.但是布克必需提高他长传球的能力而且让球速加速,这些城市很快成为实际的.
drastically [' ;dr ɑ:stkl ] adv. 年夜年夜地,完全地
off-balance layups 掉去均衡上篮
维克多奥拉迪波
世事浮沉,不在缄默中爆发,就在缄默中衰亡.魔术三载,雷霆一年,照旧名不见经传.幸亏步行者治理层慧眼识珠,将奥拉迪波买卖过来.潜龙得时,便行云播雾,勇往直前矣.
It ’d be just as much of a mistake to discount Oladipo getting better moving forward. He ’s only 26 , and he just pushed LeBron and the Cavs to the brink in his his first taste of the playoffs as his team ’s alpha. Oladipo is obviously already quite good , but he can still get better as long as he doesn ’t become complacent after his immense success last season.
认为奥拉迪波会止步不前明显是年夜错特错的.他才仅仅26 岁,而且刚竣事的赛季奥拉迪波已将勒布朗跟他的骑士队推到了裁减边沿,要知道这是他第一次作为焦点领着球队打进季后赛.奥拉迪波明显是已足够优异了,但只要他没有对上赛季庞大的成功表示骄傲,他仍然可以愈来愈超卓.
He put up good box-score numbers (he averaged 23.1 points , 5.2 rebounds , and 4.3 assists last season ). He ’s an excellent defender. He was also one of the NBA ’s most efficient isolation scorers , and excelled in the pick-and-roll , on spot-ups , and off handoffs . And he was clutch.
他打出了亮眼的数据(上赛季场均23.1 分,5.2 个篮板,4.3 个助攻).他仍是一位超卓的戍守者.他也是NBA 现役中单打得分效力最高的球员之一,保护走位,定点投篮和手递手传球都很是善于.同时奥拉迪波也是一位年夜心脏球员.
complacent [kmplesnt ] adj. 骄傲的
spot-ups 定点投篮
and off handoffs 手递手传球
The next step is shooting 3s at a higher volume while maintaining or increasing efficiency.The odds are Oladipo will always be a fairly inconsistent shooter. But he needs to take more of them.
接下来的一步就是在连结和提高射中率的根本上增添三分出手.奥拉迪波可能城市是一个不太不变的投手,但他需要增添出手.假如奥拉迪波场均出手7.7 次三分球(和乔治一样),并增添中距离投篮参加均5.1 次,那末一个赛季下来总得分将增添39 分,场均得分将从23.1 分上升至23.7 分.
If he starts shooting 40 percent from 3 at this volume , his scoring would increase to 24.3. This is a lot of math , but it ’s only meant to illustrate how only a subtle tweak to his workload would lead to a noticeable bump in production.
假如他在一样的三分出手数下将射中率提高到百分之四十,他的场均得分会增添到24.3 分.这是一些数学问题,但这只是申明了对他的工作进行小小的调剂就会致使成果较着的转变.
midrange shots 中距离投篮
subtle tweak 细微调剂
本西门斯
标致的传球,多位置换防,单臂暴力灌框,年度最好新秀本西门斯凭仗这些技术叱咤NBA 赛场,但是每回合唯一的0.89 分和可怜的三分出手数却使得这一切显得有些美中不足.
Simmons ranked near the top of the NBA in efficiency when factoring in the points scored off his passes , so this isn ’t meant as a slight. The man is already a beast. But he ’s not close to his ceiling as a potential Face of the NBA. Simmons is too predictable , as most young players are. In the post , he often turns to a right-handed hook shot even in situations when he should go left.
在助攻他人得分方面,西蒙斯的效力排名接近NBA 的榜首,所以光这一点就不克不及小视他了,那人已是一头野兽.但作为NBA 的一个潜伏面目面貌,他并没有接近本身的天花板.西蒙斯太轻易被猜测了,就像年夜大都年青球员一样.在地位的时辰,即便在他应当向左走的环境下,他也常常转到右手勾手投篮.
When driving the lane , he uses his right hand more than 80 percent of the time on layup attempts , which results in shot alterations rather than makes or drawn fouls by using a strong left hand. If Simmons develops his left hand on the inside , it ’ll make scoring easier.
当冲进罚球区时,他用右手上篮的次数跨越800%,这会致使投篮的改变,而不是用强有力的左手去造犯规.假如西蒙斯能在内线成长他的左手技术,那得起分来就更轻易了.
predictable [prdktbl ] adj. 可预感的;可预言的
driving the lane 冲破至禁区(接地气白话)
Simmons , with an alrea dy-chiseled 6-foot-10 physique , could be used more frequently as a screener on the roll , or pop for a shot , or catch and drive. He ’s a smart player without the ball , which he displays when cutting and crashing the boards.
西蒙斯有着6 英尺10 英寸高的身段,可以更频仍地在挡拆中做保护,或突施暗箭,或接球冲破.他是一个伶俐的无球跑动者,表示在他的切入篮下和冲抢篮板上.
The re-emergence of Markelle Fultz could help matters for Simmons , but Simmons ’s high-IQ game could still be better utilized from the perimeter if he becomes a threat from there. Once he is , Simmons has no limits.
马克尔 ·富尔茨的复出可能对西蒙斯有所帮忙,但假如西蒙斯可以或许在中距离成为敌手的要挟的话,他的高智商仍能在角逐中阐扬更好的感化.一旦他做到了,西蒙斯就没有限制了.
physique [fzi:k ] n. 体魄;体形
re-emergence 复出
多诺万米切尔
他是如斯怪异.在新秀赛季就可以取得最少1400 分钟上场时候的NBA 球员截止今朝只有5 个,此中一个叫迈克尔乔丹,另外一个就叫多诺万米切尔,别忘了,他只有21 岁.
Mitchell improved over the course of the season at scoring in the paint with one-foot finishes , and his 3-pointer has come a long way since college. He ’s also a far better passer than he gets credit for , which he displayed in the playoffs while point guard Ricky Rubio was sidelined . But there ’s always room for improvement , and the easiest way for Mitchell to see an uptick in his efficiency is by drawing more free throws.
米切尔一全部赛季都在晋升本身在油漆区单脚投篮的能力,他的三分球从年夜学最先就有了长足的前进.他的传球能力也比他获得的奖饰要好很多,他在季后赛中表示超卓,而控球后卫里基 ·卢比奥则被边沿化.可是,总有晋升的空间,而对米切尔来讲,看到他的效力上升最简单的方式就是投更多的罚球.
sideline [sadlan ] vt. 使退出,边沿化
Of the 205 players in NBA history to average at least 15 shots with a usage over 25 , Mitchell ranked 163rd in free throw rate. That ’s fine for a rookie , and even some veterans. Curry doesn ’t draw a lot of fouls. But most transcendent scorers eat at the line.
在NBA 汗青上,平均最少有15 次投篮,且利用率跨越25 的205 名球员中,米切尔在罚球射中率上排名第163 位,对一个新手,乃至是一些老兵来讲,这都没问题.库里没有造到太多的犯规.但年夜大都超凡脱俗的弓手城市在罚球线上砍分.
There ’s a correlation between free throw rate and true shooting percentage , which basically means there ’s a moderately positive relationship between drawing fouls and scoring efficiency. Mitchell didn ’t draw a lot of fouls over his two seasons at Louisville either , and more often than not , players ’ free throw rates don ’t change drastically during their pro careers.
