Koala:
A.Iverson回到七六人~~對E.Jordan來說無疑是一項更大的挑戰
戰術該怎麼設計.?以誰為主..?A.Iverson...A.Iguodala...還是E.Brand...???
我想最大的問題倒不是A.Iverson要多久可以適應~~而是........E.Brand何時才能回魂..???
要了解今年這隻 76人的打法和去年有什麼不同,可以參考 Eddie Jordan 在 8 月 26 日對球隊的完整說明。原文很長,我只抽取其中幾段有助於討論的文字,我不知道有沒有中文,但我就不翻譯了。只在每段下加上註解。括號內的文字是增補:
'[...] We don't consider it a point [guard position], we consider it two guards. And again, it goes back to talent. If you have two guards who are talented, it can work. I look back at Gilbert Arenas and Larry Hughes. Neither was a point guard. They were more talented, scoring guards and it worked. And that's what we look at here.'
在這涉及的就是一個潛在的三得分後衛系統。
'[...] I think the way the system works, it enhances the guys who aren't able to go one-on-one. It helps the scorers to help their teammates. It allows scorers to be scorers. I go back again to whether it's Antawn Jamison, Caron Butler and Gilbert Arenas, the highest scoring trio in the league [in 2005-06 they averaged just over 67 points a game combined]. Before that Larry Hughes, Gilbert and Antawn [in 2004-05, also just over 67] - the highest scoring trio in the league. So you had two guards and a forward and then two forwards and a guard. Brendan Haywood had a career year in the system. DeShawn Stevenson and Antonio Daniels had career years and shot better from three[-point range] than ever. So it enhances guys who aren't your core scorers but it also allows your best scorers to get equal opportunity.'
這比方在我看是太誇張了! 這種比賽狀態根本沒法維持。
'[...] We need three-point shooting, that always helps. [Jason] Kapono is going to be very good in it. We think that the fact that we don't have a prototypical point guard that our guards will be good in it. They can help each other bring the ball up. We have forwards who can bring the ball up, whether it's Andre playing guard or forward or Royal Ivey playing guard or forward. Thaddeus Young can bring the ball up. As a matter of fact, that's what we worked on today, Thaddeus initiating the offense. All these things work with talented players who are flexible and versatile.'
Versatile? 也許吧! 怎麼看來很像金州勇士?
樓上有人講得有一點沒錯。過去幾年 76人的領導者的確是 Miller,而不是 Iguodala 。 但是我認為 76人放棄他是經過考慮的。只是他們把 Lou Williams 拉上來當主控是出乎我意料之外。 Eddie Jordan 過去在 Washington的三劍客模式在今年的新 76人我們看到的修正就是 Williams/Young/Iguodala 的三得分後衛系統、籍由不斷的無持球跑動以及傳球為隊友製造得分機會。在這樣的情況下在組織攻勢上是不再需要 Miller 這樣的控球。 Jure Holiday 絕對是他們將來的希望: 1.93 m 的身高加上翼展,這些是天生的防守條件。那可是訓練不來的。在選秀會那天看到他落到 17 順位。我的直覺是 Stefanski 事先一定有去那間廟拜過。
自 Lou Williams 主控到他受傷的這些比賽中顯露出來的問題是: 要打 Motion Offensive 他沒法提供系統必要的穩定性。因此 Iguogala 在比賽進行中除了進攻外 常常要觀察在 Lou Williams 打亂的情況下,就要配合接下組織攻勢的工作 。而常常我看到的是小 AI 的反應並沒有這麼快。
AI 回來,我覺得有利有弊: 我認為 Eddie Jordan 會考慮讓他打先發 2 號。把 Holiday 留在 1 號位置。而順勢把 Iguodala 和 Young 移至 3 號和 4 號去。 這樣一來 Iguodala 在組織攻勢的工作上可以得到解放,而專心在進攻和防守上。 像這樣 AI/Holiday/Iguodala 三人組是比較合於 Jordan 想要的三得分後衛 (嚴格來說是一個純得分後衛加上二個偽得分後衛) 陣容。現在的情形跟當年有很大的差別,我倒不認為 AI 會排擠到 Iguodala 的得分。但是小 AI 有一點講的也沒錯。要融入這套體系比較要的是空手進攻和三分球。而這二項一直不是 AI 的強項。
當然,以上這些都是紙上談兵。到底 AI 會如何打,就讓我們大家一起期待了。
