The fact that Paul George was voted to last season’s All-NBA 3rd Team means
that he’s at least one of the best 15 players in the league. Good, but not
good enough. For the Pacers to unseat the Heat, George has to be better than
good. He has to be great.
去年PG入选NBA第三队证明了他在NBA至少是最好的15人之一：还不错，但不够好。
如果Pacers想要击败 火，那PG必须要比不错还要更好。他必须要是个伟大球员
Coming into Saturday’s visit to Chicago, George was indeed as great as he had
to be. Pacing the undefeated Pacers in scoring, shooting at an admirable clip
from near and far, as well as playing earnest defense. Although the 6-9,
220-pound George played exclusively on the wing, his one-rebound every five
minutes was an excellent accomplishment. In fact, his only problematic
not-even-good per-game stat was his 2.8 turnovers compromising his 3.2 assists.
在最近一次的芝加哥比赛之前，PG确实达到了他应该要有的高度。他用他让人佩服的投篮本
领以及认真的防守，带领无败绩的溜马持续向前迈进。尽管只有着六尺九的身高以及220磅
的体重，并且仅仅负责在侧翼的工作，PG每五分钟就有1板的成绩是个非常重要的贡献。实
际上，PG唯一的问题在于，他每场3.2次助攻，但却有2.8次的失误
In any case, Indiana’s 110-94 loss to the Bulls revealed several illuminating
aspects of George’s game.
无论如何，94:110输给牛牛的这场比赛显示出很多PG打球上特点。
进攻
His numbers were atrocious: 3-14, 12 points, 2 assists, and 3 turnovers.
However, George and his teammates were extremely discomforted by Chicago’s
diligent, quick, paint-packing defense that virtually shut down the visitor’s
half-court attack. Indeed, George’s initial shot came on a curl off staggered
weak-side picks that produced an uncontested 18-footer that he calmly buried.
And this bucket turned out to be the only one he scored in Indiana’s
half-court offense – the other two coming on fast-break drives.
他的比赛数字有点可怕，投14中3，12分，2助攻，3次失误。但是，整场比赛下来PG跟队友
们都被公牛队主动快速的收缩防守所困扰著，这种防守让客队的半场进攻毫无用武之地。而
实际情况上，PG是可以在比赛一开始从弱边利用挡人制造出投篮机会得分。但是这却是唯一
的一次半场进攻系统下得分，另外两次是快攻才得到。
The Pacers’ set-up offense only generated two other open shots for George: A
misfired 18-footer on a wing-iso, and an open-lane layup that missed only
because the three blind mice ignored his being clearly fouled.
溜马的进攻战术仅仅只有替PG制造出两次空挡，一次是18呎的侧翼iso，另外一次是底线空
挡上篮却没进，因为三个瞎了的裁判没看到PG被犯规。
Otherwise, George’s half-court offense was limited to an awkward step-back
jumper that missed, two blocked layups, and several attempts to force interior
shots through the teeth of the ferocious Chicago defense.
此外，PG的半场进攻就是一些step-back miss，两个被巴的上篮，以及好几个被迫面对牛牛
可怕的防守压力下出手。
Yet George never let up – fearlessly setting rugged picks on the Bulls bigs,
and constantly moving without the ball. Plus, two of his passes created layups
for teammates who missed both shots.
但是PG不放弃，继续勇敢地在巨牛间找挡人机会，并且持续无球跑动寻找出手机会。另外，
他还用他的传球替队友制造两次出手机会，但是都放枪...
Also, on several sequences, defensive switches had George being guarded by the
6-3 Derrick Rose – but Indiana never tried to take advantage of this mismatch
even when George backed Rose into the low-post.
同时，有好几次进攻时因为换防让PG可以面对矮他很多的玫瑰，但是溜马却没有利用这个
mismatch的优势让PG可以被筐打玫瑰。
Yes, along with everybody else on the Pacers, George had a bad game. Such
things happen over the course of the long season. Even so, Indiana ran only a
handful of isos for George, and never got him involved in pick-and-roll
situations.
没错，跟所有人的认知一样，PG这场比赛烂毙了。这种事情在这么长的赛季总是会发生。但
是尽管如此，溜马教练团只有替PG做了一些iso的机会，永远没有让他参与挡拆的进攻。
So blame an inadequate game plan, the Bulls nasty defense, and the law of
averages for George’s subpar performance here.
所以这场输球就是怪罪在错误的进攻战术，牛牛可怕的防守，还有PG不怎样的performanceꄊ
防守
The good: Bumping cutters, boxing out, battling for rebounds, denying Luol Deng
good position in the pivot, and working hard to get through picks. Yes, Deng
tallied 23 points but only nine of these came in George’s watch.
好的一面
PG在阻挡空切，卡位，抢版，让卤蛋抢不到好位置做转传，被pick时会努力绕出这几个方面
做的不错。没错，卤蛋是得了23分，但是只有9分是射在PG脸上。
The bad: Gambled on a steal that left Deng open for a trey that made the net
dance. Paid for turning his head with a back-door cut and basket by Deng. Was
so annoyed by the non-call on his missed layup that he committed a highly
unnecessary bump-foul on Kirk Hinrich near the time-line. It even seemed as
though George deliberately fouled Hinrich to stop the clock and give him an
opportunity to yap at the refs.
烂的一面
赌博是的抄球防守让卤蛋轻松得到空挡并且优雅的得分。爱东看西看的结果就是被卤蛋开后
门。一次放枪就见效转生气对Hinrich犯了一个时间快到点的规，这超没必要的啊。这个犯
规看起来就像PG故意搞的，让他有机会去干桥裁判刚刚他被犯的那球为什么没有响哨。
The ugly: Lunging at a wide-open Jimmy Butler beyond the arc, and thereby
committing a foul that resulted in a four-point play. An example, here, of bad
judgment and foolish over-hustling.
无法忍受的地方
Butler在三分线外要出手的时候，PG居然像一头白痴小马冲过去犯规，让Butler有四分打的
机会。这里就是一个例子，PG防守判断超烂，而且积极到有笨。
Even so, George never took a play off on the defensive end – which is more
than can be said for several of his teammates.
尽管如此，PG防守上永不松懈，这方面比其他几位队友好多了。
So, how to evaluate Paul George? He has the versatility, but not the mass or
the strength, of LeBron James. The all-out-all-the-time hustle of Shane
Battier. And the offensive package of Dwyane Wade.
所以，如何评断PG呢？他就真的是多才多艺，但是却比不上LBJ那么全面。防守态度上跟八
爷一样总是全力以赴，手段跟点尾一样多。
At the same time, his passwork is iffy, and he still has to demonstrate a
degree of consistency.
但同样地，他还没有找到自己的打球方式，并且他必须要想办法如何保持稳定的输出。
The primary considerations, though, are that George is still only 23 years old
and that he has just commenced playing in his fourth NBA season. It’s too
early for George to be celebrated as a good enough player to be the mainspring
of a championship squad.
最重要的地方是PG只有23岁，并且才打四年球而已。目前还太早去庆祝PG是好到可以当成冠
军球队的中流砥柱。
However, it is equally as clear that, given George’s admirable work ethic, the
best is yet to come.
尽管如此，目前很确定的是，就算PG现在的成就还不错，他最好的一面还没有展现出来。
