Mike D'Antoni knows the drill.
迈克·德安东尼知道球迷的作风
When his team trails in a playoff series, critics tend to take shots at his offensive system. It has been that way since his days leading the "Seven Seconds or Less" Phoenix Suns in the mid-2000s, whenconventional NBA wisdom was that shooting too many 3-pointers wasa surefire way toflame outin the playoffs.
当他的球队系列赛落后时,批评者就会拿他的进攻体系开涮。自2000年中期开始,他带领“7秒或更少”(快速进攻的跑轰)的菲尼克斯太阳队,那时候人们就老是对他落井下石。当年的NBA传统观念还是,如果一支球队在比赛中投太多的三分,在季后赛中必定会熄火。
D'Antoni found himself in familiar territory after his Houston Rockets lost at home to the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals. This time he got ripped for the Rockets' reliance on isolation plays. Houston ran 45 isos in Game 1, according to Second Spectrum data, the most by any team in any game in the past five years.
休斯顿火箭队在G1主场落败金州勇士后,德安东尼发现,又来到熟悉的境遇。这一次,他的黑点成了过分依赖单打。根据Second Spectrum的数据显示,火箭在G1进行了45次个人单打战术,是近五年来所有球队中最多的。
"We are who we are, and we had to be who we are," D'Antoni said after the Rockets' victory in Game 2, in which Houston ran 46 isos. "We just did it better, longer. Guys believe it, and we're not going to change anything up. That would be silly on my part to panic. ...
“我们有自己的风格,也必须做回自己,”德安东尼在休斯顿火箭队赢下G2后说道,这场比赛他们进行了46次单打。“我们只是做得更好,更持久了,球员们也相信这一点,因此我们不会做出任何的改变。我要是因为输一场就心慌意乱,未免有些愚蠢。”
"We can beat anybody anywhere at any time playing the way we play. Some people might not like it, you know? Hey, sorry. You know, it might not look good to some people. But it's effective. It's efficient."
“只要我们按照自己的方式,我们可以在任何时间击败任何对手。你知道吗?有一些人也许不喜欢单打这一点。不好意思,对某些人来说,这样的打法看起来也许不太好。可它就是有用,高效。”
In the past decade, D'Antoni helped revolutionize the league, serving as a pioneer for the pace-and-space style that makes those Suns seem conservative by modern-day standards.
在过去十年间,德安东尼帮助联盟发起了一场改革,是“大空间高速度”风格的先驱者。他手下的那支太阳引领的新鲜风潮,已然成为如今联盟的绝对主流。
The Rockets have taken 3-point shooting to historic extremes since D'Antoni arrived in Houston, but he has drastically adapted his system to suit his personnel, particularly probable MVP James Harden and his future Hall of Fame backcourt partner, Chris Paul.
自从德安东尼来到火箭,火箭就已经极端地投了历史罕见的三分球数。但他已经大大的调整了他的进攻体系以此适应他的球员们,特别是可能即将当选MVP的詹姆斯·哈登和他的未来名人堂后场搭档克里斯·保罗。
"Before, we never really wanted to go one-on-one until we had to. With James and Chris, why not? It'd be stupid not to because it yields more points than other stuff."
“在此之前,我们从未真正地想去这样做,直到我们必须要进行单打。我们有詹姆斯和克里斯,为什么不呢。放弃单打才是真的愚蠢,因为相比其他方式,他们能得更多分。”
Do you really think the Rockets run too much iso? D'Antoni sure as heck doesn't, as different as it is from the style he wanted at his previous stops, but he wants the Rockets to pick up the pace against the Warriors.
你认为火箭是否进行了过多的单打?德安东尼当然不这么认为,虽然这与他之前球队的传导球风格大相径庭,但他想要的只是火箭跟住勇士的节奏。
"That's a great coach right there," Harden said recently. "It's not about an offense. It's about the personnel."
“他是一个伟大的教练”,哈登近期说道。“他伟大不在于他的体系,而是他对于球队阵容的调整与适应。”
