The Worst Shooters So Far
2013-14球季至今效率最差得分手
（部落格好读版：http://mola79321.pixnet.net/blog/post/344286722）
On Wednesday, we looked at the most efficient scoring players in the league.
Today, we flip it around and report the bad news. Like Wednesday's list, I
limited this list to players with at least 300 field goal attempts, which
gets Ricky Rubio and some others off the hook this time, but the season is
young and this group will evolve over time.
在前几天，我们看到现在联盟中最有效率的得分手。（文章名：2013-14球季至今
效率最佳得分手）今天，我们来和大家讲讲故事的另一面。就像星期三的名单一样
，我将名单的条件设为为至少300次出手。这条件让Ricky Rubio和一些其他球员在
这次专题中掉出名单外。但球季还长，这名单也会随着时间变化。
Anyway, this is always a depressing exercise, because every year this list is
full of great young talent who, for whatever reason, can’t make shots. This
year is no exception. Everyone on this list is under 30 — there are two
rookies — and every player here has the potential to be a really good NBA
player. And of course, Josh Smith is back.
不管如何，做这项专题一直都让人沮丧。因为每年一堆年轻有天分的球员都挤进这
份名单，不知为何，他们就是无法投入球。今年也不例外。这名单的每位成员都小
于30岁，而且有两位菜鸟。同时，里面每位球员都有潜力成为非常优秀的NBA球员
。没错，Josh Smith回到这份名单了。
So, in no particular order:
以下排列没有特别的顺序：
Tyreke Evans, ShotScore per 100 shots: -24
Tyreke Evans is one of the most enigmatic players in the league. Anyone with
eyeballs can see how gifted he is, but he just can’t shoot ... or can he?
Here are two stats about Evans from this season:
Tyreke Evans是联盟中最谜样的球员之一。任何有长眼的人都看得出他天花板多
高，但他就是没办法投入球，或者…其实他能？以下是Evans这季的两个数据：
‧ Has made 82 percent of his free throws.
他的罚球命中率是82%。
‧ Has made only 24 percent of his field goal attempts beyond eight feet.
他在八呎外的投篮命中率只有24%。
I have trouble reconciling these two facts; how can a player so smooth at the
line look so awful from the field? To his credit, Evans seems to be
self-aware enough to not be an active jump shooter, but it is still
frustrating. His ability to knock down free throws demonstrates that he has
great touch, but something mechanical breaks down when he is shooting off the
dribble. It seems like the right shooting coach could make it click, and if
he could just convert those jumpers at league-average rates, his overall game
would soar. He has all-world attacking skill, but without the threat of the
jumper his defenders can sag and overprotect those driving lanes.
我无法将上述两个事实牵上线。一个在罚球线上投篮这么顺畅的球员，怎么比赛
中投篮却能这么糟？要给他点鼓励，因为Evans似乎自己意识到不要投太多的跳投
，但这依然让人受挫。他能投进罚球的能力代表他有着优异的手感，但一旦运球
后，他投篮机制的某一部分便崩溃了。似乎只要有位对的投球教练便能让这一切
恢复正轨，而且只要他的投篮命中率达到联盟平均水准，他的球赛整体内容将会
起飞。他有着世界顶尖的切入技巧，但没有跳投的威胁，那他的防守者便能沉退
并花更多心思在保护切入路线。

Tony Wroten, ShotScore per 100 shots: -21
Speaking of Evans, a player who has been described as the "poor man’s Tyreke
Evans" is, unsurprisingly, having a bad year from the field. In some ways,
Tony Wroten’s shot chart looks like he should play for the Rockets; he
absolutely refuses to shoot in the midrange. But unlike those guys in
Houston, Wroten doesn’t make his 3s very often. He’s been pretty active
beyond the arc, and he’s been terrible out there. Out of 85 players with at
least 100 3-point attempts, Wroten is 84th in efficiency. Spoiler alert: Josh
Smith ranks 85th.
谈到Evans，一位被称为“穷人版Tyreke Evans”的球员，不意外的也有着挣扎的
投篮球季。某方面来说，Tony Wroten的投篮图表似乎表示着他应该为火箭队打球
。他完全不想要投中距离。但不像火箭队球员，Wroten无法砍进那些三分球。他
在三分外线表现得相当积极，同时，他在那边的表现也相当糟。总共有85位球员
本季出手至少100球三分球，Wroten的效率是第84名。有雷！Josh Smith的排名是
85。

Victor Oladipo, ShotScore per 100 shots: -18
Oladipo is one of the best rookies in the league. He looks like the kind of
player that will get better and savvier each year, and I bet he’ll have a
long career in the league. Still, like many young players, he struggles to
score. So far this year, Oladipo is a below-average producer everywhere on
the court, with one exception: He’s pretty decent near the right elbow,
which is encouraging. If he can develop that pull-up move, a lot of other
things will fall into place. He has often been compared to Dwyane Wade, but
as a scorer, he’s going to have to vastly improve his finishing skills to
earn that comparison going forward.
Oladipo是联盟最佳的菜鸟。他看起来会年年成长，而且会更加理解球赛内容。
同时，我敢打赌他在能在联盟中生存很久。然而，就像许多年轻球员般，得分对
他来说不容易。这季目前为止，Oladipo在球场的任何一处的得分效率都低于平
均。除了一处，他在右边肘区的表现很不错，这颇激励人。如果他可以长出那个
拔起来跳投的招，那很多问题便能解决。他常常被拿来和Dwyane Wade比，但就
一个得分手来说，他还要更努力在加强自己的得分技巧，才能赢得和Wade比较的
权利。

Michael Carter-Williams, ShotScore per 100 shots: -17
Like Oladipo, the Sixers' Michael Carter-Williams is another very strong
rookie performer who is having trouble scoring. In fact, though he is
currently the favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award, Carter-Williams
is having a very tough debut season as a shooter overall.
如Oladipo一般，七六人的Michael Carter-Williams是另一位超级新人，却有得
分上的问题。即使现在他是新人王的最爱人选，事实上，Carter-Williams以得
分手的角度来说，这菜鸟年并不轻松。
http://ppt.cc/412j
After a promising start, his efficiency numbers have plummeted. He has made
less than a third of his shots outside of eight feet, and has been
particularly bad from the top of the arc, where other point guards like
Damian Lillard and Jose Calderon excel. More than any other team in the
league, the Sixers should go out and find the best shooting coach in the
world. Carter-Williams, Wroten, and Nerlens Noel are each potential stars,
but their inability to shoot stands in their way.
在充满前途的开季后，他的效率数据便笔直下滑。他在八呎外的出手命中率不到
33%。在弧顶位置他尤其糟糕，而这位置是像Damian Lillard和Jose Calderon等
后卫最精通的位置。在联盟中所有球队，就属七六人最应该去找全世界最好的投
篮教练。Carter-Wiliiams、Wroten和Nerlens Noel都是潜力新星，但他们无法
投篮的能力却档住那条康庄大道。
Does Chip Engelland like cheesesteaks? Sam Hinkie should find out; Brett
Brown should already know.
Chip Engelland喜欢起司牛排吗？Sam Hinkie应该要知道。而Brett Brown早该
知道了。（译按：Sam Hinkie为七六人GM；Brett Brown为七六人总教练。）
Josh Smith, ShotScore per 100 shots: -16
If you haven’t seen this, I guess we should start here:
如果你还没看过下面这影片，我猜我们应该从这影片看起：

Sometimes I feel like every column I write about bad shooting is a Lynyrd
Skynyrd concert and the part where I rant about Josh Smith is “Free Bird.”
Everyone knows it’s coming, but I have to do it anyway.
有时候我觉得每篇我写关于投篮能力差的专栏，都像是Lynyrd Skynyrd的演唱会
般。而我侃侃而谈Josh Smith的部分就像是“Free Bird”这首歌般。大家都知
道他会出现，但我还是得作。
Last summer, I was very excited when Smith entered free agency; I felt that
in the proper offense, under the right coach, and alongside the right
teammates, something might click and his All-Star potential could finally be
unlocked. I have always claimed that if Smith would only focus on offensive
rebounding, attacking the basket, and operating on the blocks, he’d be a
really great player.
上个夏天，我对于Smith进入自由市场感到非常兴奋。我觉得在适当的进攻体系
、正确教练的麾下，同时有着对的队友，可能会开起某个神奇按钮，然后他的全
明星潜力终能被解放。我一直主张，如果Smith专注于进攻篮板、进攻篮框，以
及在低位进攻，他会成为一位非常顶级的球员。
I still feel that way, but Detroit is just not the place, at least right now.
It’s an unstable situation, the offensive tactics are unclear at best, and
with young bigs like Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond clogging up the paint
there’s no room in the Pistons frontcourt. As a result, Smith plays the 3
too much, and in turn he’s taking even more jumpers than he did in Atlanta.
我依旧这么认为，但活塞队就不是他能当那个角色的球队，至少现在不会是。现
在活塞队的状况不稳定，进攻战术充其量还在不明朗的阶段。而且，有着像Greg
Monroe和Andre Drummond这些年轻长人塞在油漆区，活塞前场已经没空间了。结
果就是Smith打太多小前锋，这使得他的跳投出手比在老鹰队还要多。
This is like sending Cookie Monster to a rehab run by the Keebler Elves.
What if Smith had landed in a place like Dallas? Something tells me his chart
would look different this year. But he’s in Detroit, and I may as well have
copied and pasted this chart from his Atlanta days because it feels like a
rerun, and this bird has not changed.
这就像是叫饼干公司的Keebler Elves把爱吃饼干的Cookie Monster送去饼干勒戒
所一样。如果Smith是到小牛队会怎样呢？我有感觉他的投篮表会和今年长的不同
。不过他在活塞，所以我大概只要把他在老鹰队的投篮图表复制贴上就好。因为
看起来只是悲剧重演，而这只鸟一点也没变。

According to ShotScore, these are the five least-efficient volume shooters in
the NBA so far this season. However, they are not alone, and some of these
guys may very well shoot their way out of the cellar. If you’re looking for
other bricklayers around the league, here are some other guys to watch:
Rubio, Ramon Sessions, Cody Zeller, Jeff Teague, Brandon Jennings, and Jeff
Taylor, who may actually be the worst shooter in the NBA right now. Although
shooting is only one component of offense, it’s a really important one, and
although these players all have lots of potential, their inability to convert
shots is what's preventing them from turning potential into reality.
这就是根据ShotScore分析的目前联盟最没效率的大量得分手。不过，他们并不孤
单，而且这五位球员也很有可能谷底反弹。如果你在寻找联盟中其他的铁匠，以下
上需要关注的几位：Rubio、Ramon Sessions、Cody Zeller、Jeff Teague、
Brandon Jennings和Jeff Taylor。而Jeff Taylor现在真的是NBA中最差的射手。
虽然，投篮只是进攻的一环，但它是相当重要的环节。同时，虽然这些球员有着很
大的潜力，他们无法投篮的问题正是让潜力无法发挥的原因。

心得：
本文介绍的三位年轻球员是在成长的过程中
我也相信他们在正确的训练下会长出好的投篮机制
不过第一位的TE和第五位的Josh Smith可就没这么乐观了
TE算是在国王养坏了，前几年在投篮这块似乎没有下大功夫
有看他比赛的都知道，他罚球的投篮姿势问题不大
但跳投却怎样都感觉不太对
尤其是三分出手，投篮的节奏很不流畅
这对他来说真的很伤，因为防守者明显不怕他投篮
现在他身边的队友都有顶级外线能力（EG、Holiday、RA，还有Morrow）
希望能对他有帮助
至于Josh的问题是他真的不该投这么多外线
但活塞的阵容却迫使他必须要投外线
事实上，他投了这么多年还长不出外线也是满神奇的...
他成为这种专栏的常客真的颇令人难过
毕竟天份都摆在那
如果离不开活塞的话
Josh不是找个顶级投篮教练来帮忙
就是减少外线跳投，以别的方法来帮助球队
