Michael Kidd-Gilchrist to miss six months for Charlotte Hornets, giving more
opportunity to Jeremy Lin, Nicolas Batum
MKG将因伤缺席六个月, 这会让林书豪 & Batum获得更多表现机会
The Charlotte Hornets had high hopes for Michael Kidd-Gilchrist this season,
as the No. 2 pick in the 2012 NBA Draft was coming off of his finest season
as a pro. Now, his season has been decimated by a shoulder dislocation that
is going to require surgery and serious rehab. It hurts the team’s
chemistry, it takes away a hustle/energy guy and it hurts depth. It will be
up to new acquisitions Jeremy Lin and Nicolas Batum to pick up the slack.
本季黄蜂对MKG这位2012年选秀榜眼寄予高度期望, 但这些期望都因为一次肩膀脱臼而灰
飞烟灭了; 这坏消息伤害了黄蜂队的化学效应, 让黄蜂少了位得力战将, 阵容深度也降低
不少, 这战力上的空缺将会需要新朋友林书豪以及Batum跳出来帮忙填补
It’s terrible to “earn” more minutes via injury, but at this point Batum
and Lin must take the opportunity and run with it. Batum was slated to start
anyways, but will have his role expanded without fellow wing defender
Kidd-Gilchrist on the court. Lin is the benefactor in terms of minutes, as he
can play both the point and the shooting guard.
靠着队友的伤病来获得更多的上场时间是很糟糕的事, 但此时Batum跟书豪必须得拾起这
个机会并且好好发挥, 虽然Batum已被预定会出任先发, 但他这球季的角色现在却变成得
在缺乏MKG的侧翼保护下来打, 至于林书豪, 则会因为双能卫的特性, 成为因此获得更多
上场时间的人
BATUM’S ROLE
In his first game of the preseason, Batum scored 14 points with six rebounds
and three assists in just 23 minutes of action against the Orlando Magic,
with Kidd-Gilchrist by his side for some of those minutes. Perhaps more
notable is the fact he took 12 shots, something that coach Steve Clifford
alluded to in an interview with NBCSports:
首场热身赛Batum在23分钟内拿下14分6篮板3助攻, 但这是有MKG同时在场上的表现, 值
得注意的是他出手了12次, 这点总教练在记者访问时有以下提及..
“For his career he has always been around 13 or 14 points per game, but I
think he will get more play calls here. The big thing isn’t necessarily the
number but how efficient he is – and I think he will play very efficiently.”
Batum生涯几乎每场都拿差不多13~14分, 但我想他将会获得更多战术安排, 重点不在于
他拿几分而是他的效率值, 我想他将会打得更有效率
This comment came before Kidd-Gilchrist was injured, and holds even more
weight now. Batum is coming off of a terrible season that saw his points (9.4
per game), rebounds (5.9), assists (4.8) and blocks (0.6) all drop from the
previous season. His .324 3-point percentage represented the worst of his
career, as did his .400 field goal percentage.
这段话是在MKG受伤之前说的, 现在来看份量就更重了些, 上一季Batum经历了糟糕的球
季, 场均9.4分5.9篮板4.8助攻跟0.6阻攻, 同时32.4%的三分命中率也是生涯最低, 以前
都有着4成的水准
Still, the 6-foot-8 Batum has tremendous value for a Hornets team that needs
more playmakers and better passing than a year ago. He’ll slot in behind
Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson in terms of output, but his ability to play
smart basketball will be infectious.
但对6呎8吋的Batum仍具有相当的价值, 因为黄蜂需要比上一季更多的playmaker跟助攻,
为了得分输出的安排, 他会跟Kemba以及Al一起上场, 但他打小球的能力将同时感染其他
队友一起打小球战术
Coming over from the Los Angeles Lakers as a free agent, Lin’s signing
largely went under the national pundit’s radars. He was assumed to play the
backup point guard spot and coach Clifford hoped he’d be the kind of
sparkplug off the bench that they lacked in 2014-15.
经历了湖人惨澹的一季后, 林书豪签下了远低于专家评估的薪资加盟黄蜂, 他将以替补PG
的身分上场, 而总教练对林书豪的期盼则是成为上一季黄蜂所缺少的板凳暴徒
If Lin’s first official appearance means anything, he’s going to be even
more than that. Lin scored a team-high 17 points with seven assists and a
steal, as the Hornets downed the Magic. Lin followed that up with a more
modest 10 points, three rebounds and an assist.
如果林书豪第一场比赛内容能代表些什么, 那新球季他将会比这场比赛表现得更出色, 这
场他拿下了全队最高的17分外加7助攻跟一抄截, 帮助黄蜂击败了魔术队; 接着第二场热
身赛林书豪谦逊的拿下10分3篮板1助攻
If coach Clifford decides to insert Batum into the starting small forward
spot, there’s a good chance Lin will be the primary backup for both guard
spots (assuming he doesn’t get the starting two). Regardless, Lin is looking
at a solid 30 minutes a night.
总教练如果决定把Batum放在先发SF位置, 那林书豪就会有个极佳的机会同时成为PG跟SG
的主要替补(假设他仍是无法获得PG or SG的先发位置), 这就代表林书豪场均会有30分钟
With a strong low-post presence in Jefferson and a slashing playmaker in
Walker beside him, Lin won’t face the double teams and traps that plagued
him a year ago. If Batum can return to the kind of 3-point shooter he once
was (36 to 39 percent), the Hornets will have a dynamic five with which to
compete against any squad.
有着Al在低位的强悍表现, 以及Kemba在一旁当个锐利的playmaker, 林书豪将不用烦恼一
年前困扰他的包夹跟陷阱问题; 如果Batum的三分能回到以往的水准(36%~39%), 那黄蜂就
能有足以挑战任何队伍的五人组合
If the six-month recovery time is accurate, that means Kidd-Gilchrist will be
back just before the start of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Until then,
the onus is on Lin and Batum to pick up the slack.
如果MKG六个月才能归队的消息是真的, 那就代表MKG只会在季后赛时才能上场, 而这之前
, 遗留下的战力空缺就只能靠林书豪跟Batum来填补
