In today’s NBA, if a team can’t defend the pick-and-roll, it’s in trouble.
The league’s best record has been built on the Indiana Pacers’ No. 1
defense, of which their pick-and-roll coverage is an integral part.
Through Monday, the Pacers had allowed 0.94 points per pick-and-roll
possession, easily the lowest mark in the league, according to SportVU data
provided to NBA.com. As you’d expect, there’s a strong correlation between
SportVU’s pick-and-roll numbers and defensive efficiency. The top four teams
in the former are the top four in the latter.
Note: All stats included here are through Monday, March 3.
在现今的NBA里，一支球队如果不会防守挡拆，他们麻烦可就大了。
溜马能够取得目前全联盟最佳战绩靠得正是他们No.1的防守能力，而面对挡拆时的防守补
位是其中不可或缺的一部份。
根据SportVU提供的资料，截至星期一为止，溜马防守pick-and-roll时每回合只丢掉0.94
分，毫无疑问是联盟最低失分。一如预期地，SportVU显示的挡拆防守数据和防守效率有
强烈地关联性，挡拆守得好的前4名同时也是防守效率的前4名。
注: 这里的数据统计到3/3(一)为止。
The Pacers have two Defensive Player of the Year candidates in Paul George
(on the perimeter) and Roy Hibbert (on the interior). And among 168
combinations that have defended at least 100 pick-and-roll possessions, the
George-Hibbert combo ranks fourth, having allowed its opponent to score just
0.83 points per possession.
It shouldn’t be a surprise to see Kevin Garnett, Kendrick Perkins, Robin
Lopez or Andrew Bogut on this list. Those guys are on the floor to defend.
They know where to be and they communicate to the guy getting screened.
But you’ll also notice a common trait among some of the ball-handler
defenders (Thabo Sefolosha, George, Shaun Livingston, Trevor Ariza and Klay
Thompson) on the list: length. Those guys all put in the work on defense, but
it certainly helps to have the wingspan to force the ball-handler into a
circuitous route toward the screen and also block the passing lane after he’
s picked up by the screener’s defender.
溜马有两位年度最佳防守球员的候选人: Paul George(外围)和Roy Hibbert(内线)。在防
守至少100次挡拆回合的168组人选中，他们排在第4名，平均失分为0.83分。
在这份名单中看到Kevin Garnett、Kendrick Perkins、Robin Lopez或Andrew Bogut并不
意外，这些人上了场就是尽全力挡住对手，他们知道该做什么，而且会提醒队友
pick-and-roll要来了。
然而你也会发现到名单上某些防守持球者的高手(Thabo Sefolosha、George、Shaun
Livingston、Trevor Ariza 和Klay Thompson)有共同的特色: 身高。当然这些家伙的努
力很重要，但是关键是他们的臂展，这迫使那些持球者必须绕得更远，同时也限制了传球
路径。
The data shows that both George and Hibbert distinguish themselves from their
teammates when it comes to defending pick-and-rolls …
You’ll notice that the ball-handler takes more shots when Hibbert or Ian
Mahinmi is defending the screener. The Pacers’ centers drop back in their
pick-and-roll coverage, like this …
… while their power forwards come out high…
Both Hibbert and Mahinmi have the length to prevent the ball-handler from
getting to the rim, while still staying attached to the roll man. And often,
the only available shot is a mid-range pull-up or a floater or runner from
8-12 feet. Those shots are worth less than 0.8 points per attempt.
数据显示George和Hibbert在挡拆的防守上赢过了其他队友…
值得注意的是，Hibbert和Mahinmi在面对pick-and-roll时，持球者最后出手的比例偏高
，这是因为他们的中锋遇上挡拆时总是沉退…
http://ppt.cc/Idgy
…但大前锋则是会跟上去…
http://ppt.cc/9O5l
不论是Hibbert或是Mahinmi，即使挡拆后跟着掩护者，靠着身高他们还是能够阻止持球者
直接上篮，通常空档机会只有在8到12呎的中距离拔起出手、或是抛投、或是骑马射箭，
这些出手选择平均只能得到0.8分而已。
Here’s an example of George and Hibbert defending a pick-and-roll from the
Mavs (a top-10 pick-and-roll offense) …
Hibbert stops Monta Ellis, but also gets back to recover to Samuel Dalembert.
And since Lance Stephenson didn’t have to help, he’s able to run Shawn
Marion off the 3-point line.
Indiana opponents have run more than 40 percent of their pick-and-rolls from
the top of the key, but have had a little more success running them from the
side of the floor …

看看这个例子中George和Hibbert是怎么防守小牛(挡拆进攻前10名)的pick-and-roll。
Hibbert先是挡住Ellis的路线，又即时还原防守对位到Samuel Dalembert，整个过程中
Lance Stephenson都不需要去协防，所以Shawn Marion也无法在三分线上有空档。
溜马的对手有40%的挡拆都在弧顶发动，若是换到边线附近去发动，成功率会稍微高一点
…
Here’s the league’s best pick-and-roll combination getting an open jumper
for Channing Frye by running it on the side of the floor, where there’s less
help …
Luis Scola hedges hard, Hibbert is occupied by Miles Plumlee inside, and the
other Pacers are on the opposite side of the floor, so there’s no one to
account for the popping Frye.

这是联盟最佳pick-and-roll搭档在难以协防的边线附近发动的攻势，Channing Frye获得
了一个大空档跳投。
Luis Scola努力挡住Dragic的去路，Hibbert被Miles Plumlee牵制在内线，而其他的溜马
球员都在球场的另外一边，所以没有人可以守到拉出去跳投的Frye。
Here’s a Dallas side pick-and-roll where George Hill helps from the weak
side and Shane Larkin is wide open on the wing (maybe, in part, because he’s
Shane Larkin).
http://ppt.cc/h2Tm
这个例子是小牛从边线发动的挡拆，George Hill从弱边过来协防，留下Shane Larkin在
侧翼上有个大空档(也许某种程度上来说，他们是故意的)。
The Heat had some success in the conference finals when they ran sideline
screens toward the baseline, turning the Pacers’ defense inside out. Here’s
a similar play from Portland …
Hibbert probably came out too far on Damian Lillard on that play, but the
sideline pick-and-roll can give the ball-handler a better angle on the pocket
pass, and the Blazers’ spacing makes it difficult to help from the weak side.
(More on the Blazers later in the week, when we address teams that don’t
defend the pick-and-roll very well.)
去年的东区冠军赛，热火利用边线附近的配合把球往底线带，成功地逼使溜马的内线出来
补防，和下面这个对上拓荒者的play非常类似。
http://ppt.cc/zv6b
Hibbert在这个play中为了补防Damian Lillard远离了禁区，而边线pick-and-roll让持球
者有比较好的角度做出穿越两名防守者的传球(pocket pass)，同时拓荒者其他的队友把
空间拉开，让弱边的协防变得困难。
(下次会有更多拓荒者的部份，他们算是防守挡拆不太行的球队。)
Even from the sideline, you’re not getting a great return on pick-and-rolls
against the Pacers. That’s why they rank as one of the best defenses we’ve
ever seen.
即使从边线发动pick-and-roll，你还是很难从溜马手中拿走太多的分数，这也是为什么
他们可以称得上是史上最佳防守球队之一。
