Building the NBA's All-Overrated Team at Midseason Point
季中来选一个全"被高估的明星"队
Cross your fingers and hope your favorite guys didn't end up on the midseason
version of the 2013-14 All-Overrated Team.
祈祷你最爱的球员不会入选这个2013-14季中的全"被高估的明星"队吧。
1.Starting Point Guard: Ricky Rubio 先发控卫：Ricky Rubio
Team: Minnesota Timberwolves 灰狼队
Age: 23
2013-14 Stats: 8.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 8.1 assists, 2.6 steals, 0.2 blocks,
14.9 PER(注一)
Ricky Rubio might be great at passing and stealing, but he doesn't bring much
else to the table.
His shooting is absolutely atrocious, and it's leading some people to make
some rather bold statements.
Rubio或许很会传球和抄截，但在场上他也不能多做什么了。他的投篮真的很糟，甚至遭
到许多球评恶毒的批评。
Rubio is shooting only 34.6 percent from the field during the 2013-14 campaign
—worse than both his rookie and sophomore(注二) go-rounds. Although his shot
has improved from beyond the arc(注三), that's more a credit to the
improvement of his teammates' offensive capabilities, as teams are electing
to leave him wide open on the perimeter.
虽然Rubio的三分球投篮有进步，但那是因为球队的进攻也进步了，让他有更多的空挡。
但Rubio本季整体投篮命中率只有34.6%。比他的菜鸟和第二年不完整的球季还差。
But his problems go well beyond shooting. His game is not showing any growth.
Rubio is now posting the lowest assist percentage of his career, per
Basketball-Reference, and he's also recording the highest turnover
percentage. Not exactly a good combination, last time I checked.
但他的问题不只是投篮，他的表现没有成长。Rubio的场均传球次数来到生涯新低。而且
失误率也来到新高，同时出现这两个问题并不是好的现象。
2.Starting Shooting Guard: Dion Waiters 先发得分后卫：Dion Waiters
Team: Cleveland Cavaliers 骑士队
Age: 22
2013-14 Stats: 14.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.2
blocks, 12.1 PER
Although his three-point shooting is looking better in 2013-14 than it did in
2012-13, Waiters is still shooting only 40.4 percent from the field. His
free-throw percentage is also down rather significantly, and that's led to
lower true-shooting and effective field-goal percentages than he posted
during his already-inefficient rookie season.
虽然他的三分球看起来比去年进步，但他的投篮命中率还是只有40.4%。罚球命中率也大
幅下降。整体命中率比已经没有效率的菜鸟球季还差。
3.Starting Small Forward: Jeff Green 先发小前锋：Jeff Green
Team: Boston Celtics 塞尔提克队
Age: 27
2013-14 Per-Game Stats: 15.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 steals,
0.5 blocks, 13.6 PER
Remember when Jeff Green was supposed to be the next star in Beantown(注四)?
记得大家觉得Jeff Green会成为波士顿的下一个球星吗？
During the offseason, it seemed as though everyone thought he was going to be
the next big thing for the Boston Celtics, cementing himself as an All-Star
candidate and building block for the foreseeable future.
季前每个人都觉得他会是塞尔提克的下一位巨星，会是全明星队的候选人，有着前途无量
的未来。
While the dunks are still there, the rest of Green's game isn't. He's
shooting only 42.9 percent from the field, and he's largely failed to handle
the burdens that were placed on his shoulders during the pre-Rondo portion of
the season.
本季虽然还是有精彩的灌篮，但其它就没有了。他的投篮命中率只有42.9%。他也无法一
肩扛起Rondo不在时带领球队变好的任务。
4.Starting Power Forward: Josh Smith 先发大前锋：Josh Smith
Team: Detroit Pistons 活塞队
Age: 28
2013-14 Per-Game Stats: 15.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.5 steals,
1.5 blocks, 14.6 PER
The Detroit Pistons might not be playing Josh Smith at the right spot, but
I'll put him in his natural power-forward slot.
活塞队可能没有把Josh Smith放到对的位子，但我将他归类为比较适合他的大前锋位置。
According to 82Games.com, Smith has spent 56.9 percent of his time on the
court at the 3, and he's been absolutely terrible. By posting an 11.8 PER and
allowing opposing small forwards to put up a 19.0 PER, he's way on the wrong
side of the ledger.
Smith在场上花了56.9%的时间在三分线上，表现很差，只有11.8 PER的贡献。他防守的小
前锋则有19.0 PER。
He's shooting only 41.1 percent from the field while failing to make much of
an impact with his passing. In the past, he's been a valuable offensive
player even when his shot isn't falling because he can involve himself in
such a variety of ways, but that isn't happening this year.
他的投篮命中率只有41.1%。他的传球也没有多大的作用。以往，他是个有优秀的进攻球
员，他有不错的外线和多种进攻方式，但今年全都消失了。
J Smoove is knocking down 23.9 percent of his tries from downtown(注五), and
he's attempting a career-high 3.8 per game. That's not just bad, rather, it's
historically bad.
他的三分球命中率只有23.9%。而且每场三分球次数来到生涯新高-每场3.8个。不只是差
，还是史上最糟。
Basketball-Reference shows that throughout NBA history, 1,214 qualified
players have lofted up at least three shots per game from beyond the arc. Of
those, here are the only ones who haven't been able to top Smith's putrid
percentage.
NBA历史上，三分球场均3个以上的球员有1214个，每个人的命中率都比Smith高。
4.Starting Center: Dwight Howard 先发中锋：Dwight Howard
Team: Houston Rockets 火箭队
Age: 28
2013-14 Per-Game Stats: 18.1 points, 12.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals,
1.7 blocks, 21.6 PER
Is there a reason that Dwight Howard still hasn't developed more post moves
than that sweeping jump-hook he uses going in either direction? Now that he's
worked with Hakeem Olajuwon (twice) and is coached by Kevin McHale, he's out
of excuses for failing to become more of a go-to post player.
可以解释一下为什么Howard还是只会两边的跳跃勾射而不是更多的低位单打？他现在由欧
拉朱万指导而且教练是Kevin McHale。他没有借口不成为更好的低位单打者。
You couldn't ask for better mentors than those two, but D12 still doesn't do
much with his back to the basket. According to Synergy Sports(subscription
required), the big man is scoring only 0.76 points per possession in post-up
(注六) situations, a mark that's topped by 86 players around the Association.
你再也找不到比这两位更好的低位大师了，但Howard在背框单打的表现还是不突出。他每
次低位单打只能得到0.76分，联盟排名第87位。
Synergy also shows that he's allowed 0.86 points per possession, which gives
him the No. 159 mark in the NBA. He's no longer functioning as an elite
post-up defender, and he's struggled to stop roll men(注七), which is where
he made his mark during his Defensive Player of the Year days.
他在每次对位让对手得到0.86 分，联盟排名第159位。他低位的防守没有以往灵光。他也
不像拿到最佳防守球员时可以有效的阻挡空切的球员。
Reserve Guards 替补后卫：
1.Bradley Beal, Washington Wizards 巫师队
2.Kyrie Irving, Cleveland Cavaliers 骑士队
But should he be starting for the Eastern Conference All-Star team?
Irving可以在东区明星队先发吗？
Absolutely not, especially with a certain John Wall straight up balling for
the Washington Wizards. Yet fans are voting him in, which is pretty much the
definition of being overrated. When voting support yields something that's
undeserved, it can't get any more clear.
当然不，尤其是John Wall带领巫师队扶摇直上。然而粉丝选择了Irving，所以这里将
Irving选为被高估的明星。
Reserve Forwards 替补前锋：
1.Harrison Barnes, Golden State Warriors 勇士队
2.Gordon Hayward, Utah Jazz 爵士队
3.Tayshaun Prince, Memphis Grizzlies 灰熊队
Reserve Centers 替补中锋：
1.Kendrick Perkins, Oklahoma City Thunder 雷霆队
Kendrick Perkins should not be starting basketball games for the Oklahoma
City Thunder. That is all.
Perkins应该停止在雷霆队当先发，就这样。
2.Jonas Valanciunas, Toronto Raptors 暴龙队
注一： PER = Player Efficiency Rating 球员效率值
一种评比球员出场效率的计算方法。结合了球员的投篮命中率、三分球、助攻、罚球、失
误、篮板、抄截、火锅等数据，根据球队和整个NBA球队的平均数据进行加权，最后得到
每个球员的效率值。
图、以下是Wiki上用PER对应的层级表
注二：Sophomore 二年级的、第二年的
注三：Beyond The Arc 在弧线之后，指在三分线后也就是三分球。
注四：Beantown 波士顿的暱称
殖民时代时，波士顿最为人知的美食就是烤豆子(Bake Beans)，当时的过客或是商人因此
称波士顿为Beantown。

注五：From downtown 三分球
篮球场的“downtown”指的是靠中圈(跳球圈)的区域，From downtown就是在三分球线外
投篮的意思。
注六：Post-up 背框单打
进攻方持球球员背对篮框单吃对方防守球员。
注七：Roll man 空切球员
指的是挡切战术(Pick & Roll)中做掩护并转身空切的人。有可能空切到靠近篮框做攻击
或向外转走寻找接应与出手机会。
心得:大家觉得本季还有谁可以入选这个"特别"的明星队呢.....
