NEW YORK -- The Brooklyn Nets are 2-4. Obviously, it's not the start this $190 million team wanted.  

ESPN紐約報導-布魯克林籃網隊現在戰績是2勝4負。顯然的,這並不是總值1億9千萬美金的球隊想要的開始。

 

At the same time, they know it's early in the season. They know they're a new team and they're still learning each other's tendencies.  

同時,他們知道球季才剛開始。他們理解這是支新球隊,並且還在互相了解對方的打球習慣。

 

Some of their players have been hurt. Therefore, their rotation has been somewhat in-flux.  

隊上有些痛痛球員。所以,他們的調度輪值還沒定案。

 

That's fine. At this early juncture, as the old saying goes, patience is a virtue. There's still plenty of season left.  

安啦!面臨這個開季危機點時,套句老祖宗的話「耐心就是美德」。球季還長的呢。

 

But that didn't stop ESPNNewYork.com from delving into why the Nets record is what it is:  

但這種安心感並沒有阻撓ESPN紐約去探究籃網戰績為何不甚理想:

 

Late-game failures: The Nets obviously didn't show up in Orlando, but their other three losses were very winnable games. In their regular-season opener in Cleveland, the Nets trailed by nine heading into the fourth quarter, but rallied back. Unfortunately, Anderson Varejao hit two tough shots -- one of them a layup off the wrong foot with the shot-clock winding down -- and a late-game Iso-Joe set turned into an off-balance, fallaway Paul Pierce jumper that he missed.  

比賽末段氣力放盡:籃網隊在對戰魔術隊時顯然沒在狀況內,但他們其他三場輸球都是有勝利機會的比賽。在騎士主場的開幕賽,籃網隊在第三節結束時落後9分,但第四節力挽狂瀾。不幸的是,Anderson Varejao投進兩顆高難度出手。其中一顆是時間快到點且起跳腳錯腳的上籃。而本應是比賽末段ISO-Joe單打秀,變成Paul Pierce投丟一顆失去平衡的跳投。

 

Friday night against the Wizards, the Nets let an 11-point lead slip away with under five minutes left. The game turned at the 2:05 mark, when John Wall stole the ball from Jason Terry, which led to back-to-back 3-point plays by Nene. The Nets were leading 96-91 at the time. It was a surprise that Terry, not Deron Williams, was taking the ball up in that spot, with Williams standing near mid-court. Brooklyn then let Wall get to the rim on Washington's final possession, which led to Nene cleaning up his missed layup and sending the game into overtime, where the Nets would have their 10-game regular-season winning streak in the extra session come to an end.  

在周五晚上對戰巫師時,籃網隊在比賽最後五分鐘時失去了之前的11分領先優勢。在比賽剩2分5秒時,在John Wall從Jason Terry手中抄走球,造成Nene連續兩個三分打後,比賽情勢大轉彎。在此之前籃網隊96比91領先。令人驚訝的是居然由Terry帶球,而不是Deron Williams,而那時的他站在中場附近。接下來籃網隊讓Wall在巫師最後一波進攻時切到籃下,防線崩壞導致Nene幫他補進投失的上籃,將球賽帶進延長賽。而巫師隊最終終止了籃網隊在延長賽的10連勝。

 

Saturday night's game turned at the 2:58 mark, when Brook Lopez missed a layup that would've brought the Nets within 90-89. At the other end, Williams inexplicably fouled George Hill as he was shooting a 3-pointer. Hill made 2 of 3 free throws, and the Nets couldn't corral the rebound after he missed the third. And off a jump-ball, Paul George drilled a baseline jumper, meaning a four-point swing and a 94-87 Indiana lead 27 seconds later. It was obviously too much to overcome.  

星期六晚上的比賽轉折點則是在比賽剩2分58秒時,當Brook Lopez上籃失手,讓籃網隊錯失90比89的領先機會。而在防守端,Williams令人費解的送出手三分的George Hill上罰球線。Hill罰球投3中2,而籃網團隊無法搶下他沒罰進的第三球。在跳球後,Paul George砍進一顆底線跳投,代表著一來一回差了4分,讓溜馬在這27秒間得到94比87的領先優勢。這個差距顯然太大,籃網無力逆轉。

 

Third is STILL the bad word: The third quarter was a bugaboo for the Nets all of last season. And it continues to be a problem in 2013-14.  

第三節依然不是個好時間:第三節對去年的籃網隊是場夢魘。而在新的2013-14球季持續困擾著籃網隊。

Williams said it was something first-year coach Jason Kidd talked to the team about Saturday night, making sure they take care of business in the third. Of course, they failed to. The Pacers are actually the league's best third-quarter team. The Nets would clearly be a better team if they had better thirds.  

Williams說這件事是新手教頭Jason Kidd在星球六晚上和球隊談及過的問題,確保他們在第三節能搞定事情。當然,結果是他們失敗了。溜馬隊事實上是聯盟第三節表現最佳的球隊。籃網隊若能改變第三節的慘況,他們肯定能變一支更好的球隊。

 

D-Won't: Williams had his best game of the season Saturday night, scoring a season-high 17 points and dishing out a season-high 10 assists in a season-high 33 minutes. He definitely looked as good as he has in 2013-14. But overall, it's been a struggle. Williams has been hampered by an ankle injury he suffered in the offseason. He came into Saturday night's game averaging just 9.6 points and 7.0 assists on 40 percent shooting. D-Will's PER was just 12.33, 40th-best among point guards. That's just not good enough. As we've written on this blog before, if D-Will is playing like an elite point guard, the Nets are going to be an elite team. If not, well ...  

不像D-willD-Won’tWilliams在上周六晚的比賽是本季最佳表現,在本季最長的上場時間33分鐘內,得到本季最高的17分和10助攻。這場的他和2013-14球季的他看起來一樣好(譯者的話:我的解讀是原作者應該想表達是2012-13球季吧?)。但整體而言,他的狀況持續掙扎。Williams一直飽受休賽期間的腳踝傷勢影響。他在星期六出賽前場均只有9.6分和7助攻,並只有40%的命中率。D-Will的PER只有12.33,此項數據在所有控球後衛中排第40名。這表現顯然不夠好。就像之前我們在部落格上寫的,如果D-Will打的像頂級控衛,那籃網隊就會是支頂級球隊。如果沒有的話,那…

 

Woe is KG: Kevin Garnett is shooting just 32.1 percent. He makes 2.8 field goals per game, but takes 8.8. According to NBA.com, he is just 3-for-8 in the restricted area (37.5 percent) and 12-for-34 on mid-range shots (35.3 percent). Obviously, it’s early. But when a player is 37 -- even if that player is a future Hall of Famer like KG -- you never know if you should be more concerned than you are.  

KG好慘阿:Kevin Garnett投籃命中率只有32.1%。根據NBA.com的數據,他場均命中球數是2.8顆,但卻出手8.8次。在禁區中他只有投8中3(命中率37.5%)而中距離則是投34中12(命中率35.3%)。當然,球季還早。但是當一位球員已高齡37歲,即使這位球員是像KG這種未來名人堂球員,你永遠不知道你是否要多關切這個問題。

 

Road struggles: The Nets won a franchise-record 23 games on the road last season, but are 0-3 away from home this season. In those games, they are averaging 96.0 points per game and giving up 105.7 points per game. Paul Pierce said he hopes their fortunes change when they embark on a three-game trip out West, which begins Wednesday night in Sacramento. 

客場泥沼:籃網隊上季的客場23場勝利是史上最佳客場戰績,但這季一開始的作客比賽是0勝3敗。這些比賽中,他們場均得分是96分,但場均失分高達105.7分。Paul Pierce表示他希望周三在沙加緬度開啟的西區客場三連戰能轉轉運。

 

 

心得:

 

就像文內說的,才打六場,太過擔心是多餘的。不過多多少少也透露出一些問題。

 

最大的問題我想有兩個:

 

1. 續航力不足:
傷病和年紀只能用更成熟的進攻體系去掩飾。
相信這幾位球員籃球IQ都相當高,但還需要多少場磨合呢?
現在東區狀況也不是軟柿子一堆。要是這個問題不能盡快解決,老人和傷兵的下半季壓力將更大。

 

2. Deron Williams:
幾周前我PO的「X因子球員檔案:Deron Williams」講得很清楚了。籃網隊要打的像冠軍隊,就需要D-Will居中發動進攻。
這個角色雖然不是沒人能頂替,但只有他能把籃網隊帶到下一個level。

 

磨合需要時間,但籃網球員的狀況可能不容許時間拖太長。
尼克的混亂、七六人的驚艷表現、暴龍也不惶多讓...大西洋組冠軍有可能也是大亂鬥阿。
