The Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat are facing some big problems early in the season.
Miami has been catching a lot of flak for its unimpressive record, but it's not too far behind the Lakers.
The Los Angeles Lakers are currently in the midst of a four-game losing streak, their first in four years.
Each team is plagued by numerous issues and while some of them can be corrected, others will continue to pose more questions than answers.
湖人和热火目前都遇到了一些问题,到底谁的问题比较多比较严重呢?
热火很努力的在改善他们那差强人意的战绩,但其实他们离湖人并不远,因为湖人近期也遇到了久违了的4连败。
两队都面对一定的麻烦,一些会在做了调整后改善,一些则会一直是个问号。
Miami: No Inside Presence
The Heat currently employ a carousel of big bodies to fill up the middle.
Joel Anthony was fairly successful last season in limited minutes, but he's been woeful this year. He was replaced in mid-November at the starting center position by Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
While Ilgauskas' per game numbers in limited minutes are actually pretty good, he's far from being the tough enforcer that they require.
Can It Be Fixed?
At this juncture, no.
The Heat just lost their toughest player, Udonis Haslem, for what could be the entire season.
The team got a big body in Erick Dampier, but it's Erick Dampier. He'll fill up some space down low, but he's always underachieved and this year should be no different.
The team's starting power forward, and the third wheel of the proverbial big three, is far from being an enforcer. If you look in the dictionary for the antonym of tough, you would see Chris Bosh listed first.
热火:没有内线优势
热火目前聘请了位长人来填补中锋的位置。乔尔安东尼上赛季虽没获得很多的上场时间但是表现的却很不错。但是今年的他打的就不尽理想。他首发中锋的位置在11月中旬就被伊尔伐斯卡斯取代了。伊尔伐卡斯卡打得相当的不错,但是他却不能给与热火他们想要的内线强度。
这问题能解决么?
目前来说没办法
热火刚刚失去了悍将哈斯勒姆,他可能整个球季都会报销。他们找来了丹皮尔,他能打地位但常常不能正常的发挥他应有的水准,今年大概也是一样。热火的主力前锋还有3巨头都不能引起内线的牵制力。如果你在字典里找强壮的反义词,你会看见波士的名字被列在其中。
Lakers: Kobe's Shooting Too Much
While Kobe leads the team in scoring—putting up 26.7 points per game—he's going about it in a rather inefficient manner.
Kobe is jacking up 21.1 shots per game, just shy of last year's 21.5 attempt rate. Keep in mind that he is doing this while playing five less minutes per game.
Kobe's field-goal percentage is currently tied for the second worst of his career at 42.8 percent. It doesn't help that he shoots 4.6 times from behind the arc while only converting on 31 percent of those shots.
He currently ranks sixth on my list of the best volume shooters in the NBA.
Can It Be Fixed?
Well, this is up to Kobe. He's a gunslinger at heart and that may never change.
Kobe may be a prolific scorer, but that's a gift and a curse.
He should know by now when he needs to take over a game and score and when he needs to defer to his teammates.
Ron Artest and Derek Fisher may be limited in their offensive abilities at this stage of their respective careers, but the Lakers have plenty of depth to make up for it.
湖人:科比的浪投
科比的得分是湖人队之首,他场均拿下26.7分。这数字固然漂亮,但是还有一个数据也不得不看,就是他的出手次数。他平均一场比赛出手了21.1次,虽然比他上赛季的21.5次少了一点,但是别忘记的他的平均上场时间比去年少了整整5分钟。科比目前的命中率是他的生涯第二低-42.8%。他在三分球上面的表现也不尽理想,场均投出4.6次,命中率也只有31%。
这问题能解决么?
这取决于科比本身,如果他想当个枪手,那谁也阻止不了他。他是个很强大的得分手,这是优点但有时却带来反效果。
现在科比必须要知道他什么时候该得分,什么时候该接管比赛或者制造机会给队友。或许老鱼和阿泰不能给与太多的进攻火力,但是湖人的板凳还是很有深度的,他们还能做出很多的调整。
Miami: Lack of Team Chemistry
The importance of team chemistry cannot be overstated no matter the team or sport.
Even with all of the talent on the Heat, if there's no cohesion among the players, they can only get so far.
Can It Be Fixed?
Over time, the team should eventually develop strong chemistry. The question is, how long will it take?
Miami has shown flashes of brilliant team play, but until it can develop the sort of stout chemistry required in a championship-contending team, it won't be able to do it consistently.
热火:缺少团队的化学反应
团队的化学反应的重要性怎么样强调都不过分,因为它真的很重要。不管你拥有多么豪华的阵容,队员之间没凝聚力,球队不会走得远。
这问题能解决么?
这是时间问题,默契总是需要时间慢慢的去培养。但是另外一起问题出现了,多少时间才足够呢?
热火团队已经有打出一些火花来,但始终还没到达冠军球队的水准,他们还需要时间的琢磨于成长。
Lakers: Three-Point Shooting
The Lakers are the second-best three-point shooting team, but they've faltered from long range lately.
During this four-game losing streak, they're shooting 26.3 percent from behind the arc.
They've been relying on the three-ball far too much and settling for long shots even when they're not falling.
Can It Be Fixed?
I believe it's only a matter of time before the team starts to knock down shots from deep with more consistency.
Ron Artest in particular really needs to start hitting his shots. His three-point shooting hasn't been bad this year, but he's only hitting a three a game. Kobe draws so many double teams that he, among others, needs to capitalize.
It would also help if Kobe started to curb his trigger finger from deep.
湖人:3分球的命中率
湖人的3分球表现是目前联盟的第二佳,但是最近却碰上了撞墙期。
在四连败的过程中,他们3分球的命中率只有26.3%。
他们太依赖用3分球来得分,但是总是怎么投也投不进。
这问题能解决么?
我觉得这是一时的过渡期,每个球队每个球员必经的过程,相信他们很快的就能回复投射的稳定度。
阿泰急需要尽快的找回手感。他的3分命中率不差但他出手的也少,平均一场比赛就投一次而已。科比一直会收到包夹,这时就是射手发挥的好时候。
Miami: Offense
Miami's offense has been predictable and far too simple.
When something doesn't work the first time, they inexplicably try it again right after.
For instance, if the pick-and-roll gets clogged up, they go immediately back to it with the same results.
The lack of a low-post player is also a huge problem. Their best big man, Chris Bosh, is a finesse forward. His back to the basket game is laughable at times.
Can It Be Fixed?
Yes. They have two of the most prolific scorers in the game in Wade and James.
They need to move the ball around, take smart shots and attack the basket.
The lack of a low-post threat will continue to plague the team, but the offense can be adjusted to make up for it.
热火:进攻
热火的进攻手段很简单也很容易预测得到。第一次试行失败后,他们还是莫名奇妙的继续做一样的事。打个比方好了,如果他们打掩护挡拆受到阻碍,他们马上再做一次,结果还是一样。
缺少地位的球员是这个问题的根源。他们的长人波士是个灵巧的前锋,但是他的背靠篮筐的单打还真的不能指望。
这问题能解决么?
能,因为他们有两位的分手韦德和詹姆斯。他们必须一直导球,找出最好的机会才攻击篮筐。
低位单打和恻隐的问题会一直缠绕着热火,但是进攻方面还是可以进行调整的。
Lakers: Crunch Time Execution
With the game on the line in the final five minutes, the Lakers have been unable to get the job done.
In their loss to the Jazz, they were up 96-91 behind 14 straight Kobe points with 2:12 left in the game, but that's the last time they would score. Utah closed the game out on an 11-0 run to win.
Against the Rockets last night, the Lakers were torched on a 22-6 run to close out the game.
Can It Be Fixed?
Yes. With Kobe Bryant at the helm, the Lakers have the best closer in the game. Also having one of the greatest coaches in NBA history helps.
A healthy Gasol and Bynum should only make things easier when they're back to full strength.
湖人:关键时刻的执行力
湖人常常在比赛终场前的5分钟崩盘。
在输给爵士的比赛中,科比连拿14分,比赛剩下2分12秒湖人96-91还领先5分,但他们再也没得分了,让爵士打出了11-0的高潮结束比赛。
对阵火箭时,湖人最后一节也被对手打了坡22-6吞下连败。
这问题能解决么?
那当然,湖人有科比在掌舵,他永远是最强的终结者,再加上湖人还有NBA历史上最棒的教练之一禅师。
当拜纳姆回归,加上加索尔,湖人的问题将会被改善。
Miami: No Depth
Miami has some solid players coming off the bench, but in its current injury-riddled state, it's hurting for some depth.
Mike Miller is still nursing an injury and Udonis Haslem is out for months.
Behind Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh, the team is lacking a player capable of consistently putting up double-digit scoring numbers.
Can It Be Fixed?
Unless the Heat make a trade, no.
If they could find someone to take on Chris Bosh's contract, Miami would be much better off. The team would be better suited with two productive big bodies that are capable of playing physical in the paint rather than Bosh and his finesse offensive game and no-challenge-at-the-rim defense.
Once Mike Miller returns, it should greatly bolster Miami's offense, but he'll still need to be slowly integrated back into the rotation.
热火:没板凳深度
热火板凳上又很出色的球员,但他们目前都在伤病的名单内。米勒还在康复中,哈斯勒姆也将缺赛一个月。
除了3巨头韦德,詹姆斯和波士,热火没有其他能够稳定的得分手。
这问题能解决么?
没办法,除非他们进行一些补强的交易。
如果可以找到能够帮助波士分担任务的球员,他们会打得更好一些。有大个子在禁区内能给予一定的强度,不能单靠波士一个人的进攻,而且他并不能提供很好的篮板保护。
米勒回来后这问题应该就能解决,但是他还需要一段时间去恢复。
Lakers: Defense
The Lakers defense has been unable to get the job done lately.
They've been collapsing in late-game situations and they're ranked 18th in opponent's points allowed.
L.A. is also ranked 12th in defensive efficiency.
Can It Be Fixed?
Absolutely. When the team is firing on all cylinders, it is capable of putting the clamps on even the most high-powered offenses in the league.
The Lakers have some of the strongest perimeter defenders in the league in Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest and Matt Barnes.
Once Andrew Bynum is back to full strength, they'll have the low-post defensive presence they sorely miss.
湖人:防守
湖人最近的防守出现了问题,他们总是能让对手很轻易的得分,尤其是在决胜期。
他们让对手轰进的分数在联盟里排行第18,也在防守效率上排行第12.
这问题能解决么?
当然可以。不管是那支球队,全联盟进攻最好的球队也好,湖人都有能力让他们从从面开火的情况下熄火。
因为他们拥有联盟里的一些防守悍将,包括科比,阿泰和巴恩斯。
再加上日后拜纳姆的归队,他们地位的防守也会加强。
Conclusion: Miami Heat
The Lakers made some changes in the offseason, but the core of their championship team is intact with Phil Jackson calling the plays.
In fact, the argument can be made that the roster as a whole is much improved over last year's title-winning team.
Miami is a different story.
Outside of Miami's top three players, the team was constructed from mostly spare parts.
But the source of the team's troubles comes from the team's three best players and not the supporting cast.
I think it's only a matter of time before the Heat get their act together, but there are some glaring holes they will need to address.
总结:看看这照片,詹姆斯童鞋很自动的举手说:对,我承认我们的问题比较多。
湖人这休赛期在保留主力球员的情况下做出了一些人员的更动,禅师也答应留任执教。
很明显的他们的现在的阵容比起去年的夺冠阵容还更加强大了。
热火却是另外一回事。除了主力的3巨头,其他的球员都零零散散的。
但是他们的问题却不是来至配角们,而是出在3位男主角身上。
我觉得这大概只是时间问题,他们需要时间培养默契,但还是有一些显著的问题等着他们去解决。 |
