How do the Cavaliers defend Stephen Curry? http://tinyurl.com/pwpwlcb
骑士要怎样防守MVP Curry呢?
In each three of their playoff series so far, the Cavaliers allowed more
points from a point guard than anyone else. Isaiah Thomas, Derrick Rose and
Jeff Teague have all bested their season scoring averages against Cleveland.
骑士先前在东区的三个系列赛, 每一个都让对方的控卫拿最多分: I汤, Rose跟Teague,
这三位都在对战骑士时打出本季最好的成绩
Now, the Cavaliers face the NBA’s best point guard and reigning MVP –
Stephen Curry – in the NBA Finals.
现在总冠军赛骑士面对的是NBA第一控, 也是现任MVP的Curry
How will they slow him down?
骑士该如何让Curry慢下来呢?
“The same way you slow me down,” LeBron James said. “You can’t.”
喇叭詹说:"就像你没办法让我慢下来一样, Curry也是没法让他慢下来的
At least Warriors have several defenders to throw at LeBron – Harrison
Barnes, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala. Cleveland’s roster isn’t nearly as
well-suited to contain Curry.
勇士至少有几个可以去防守喇叭詹的人, 像是Barnes, 追梦绿, 小AI, 但骑士这边却没
有能做好对Curry防守的人
Kyrie Irving said he’d start games on Curry. That’s no easy task for
healthy Irving, but Curry can absolutely exploit a hobbled Irving with screen
after screen on and off the ball.
Irving说他会上场去防Curry, 对健康时的Irving就已经不是个简单的事情, Curry绝对
能靠着一次次的挡拆, 在不是100%状态的Irving身上获得许多优势
Iman Shumpert is the Cavaliers’ best bet on Curry – for both his on-ball
perimeter defense and ability to switch on pick-and-rolls. His length can
prevent Curry the sliver of space he needs to shoot, and he’s strong enough
to handle bigs.
对骑士来说用Shumpert去守Curry或许是最好的选择, 因为他的半场防守跟对挡拆后换人
防守做的不错, 他防守Curry有着身材上的优势, 挡拆后面对大个子时他也算够壮
But if Shumpert is on Curry, where does Cleveland hide Irving? Klay Thompson
would drag Irving all around the court off the ball, and Harrison Barnes
would punish him inside. Remove Irving entirely, and the Cavaliers’ offense
suffers.
但如果真是由Shumpert来守Curry, 那Irving要放在哪个点呢? K汤的无球跑动会拉着他
一起满场乱窜, 接着让Barnes在内线击溃他; 把Irving整个移出阵容? 那骑士的攻击会
死的很难看
It’s much easier to play Irving when a Golden State reserve – Andre
Iguodala , Shaun Livingston or Leandro Barbosa – is in the game. But
Livingston can post up Irving, Barbosa can blow by him, and Iguodala can
shoot 3s over him. Irving defending a taller, but stationary, Iguodala is
probably the lesser of all evils.
比较简单使用Irving的方式, 就是让他在勇士替补像是小AI/Livingston/百步杀上来时
上场, 但Livingston会对他低位背打, 百步杀会射爆他, 小AI在Irving的矮小防守下可
以轻松射三分....但三权相害取其轻的考量下, Irving守小AI应该会比较没那么惨
Matthew Dellavedova will also get his turns on Curry. Dellavedova has played
good defense throughout the playoffs, but a larger sample raises concerns.
Dellavedova will work hard on that end, fighting through screens and getting
physical, but his limited athleticism reduces his effectiveness. Curry should
eat Dellavedova alive in transition – an area of particular concern for
Cleveland.
王牌杀手 - Dellavedova也会有机会去守Curry, 这次季后赛中他的防守有多好大家都
知道, 但出赛多了后他的防守显露出了隐忧, Della虽然在防守端上很努力, 面对挡拆
时也不畏惧身体碰撞, 可是天生运动能力的不足降低了他的防守效率, 在攻防转换时
Curry将可以完全的干掉他, 这恰巧是骑士最担心的点
in this chess match, the Cavaliers should consider whom Curry guards on the
other end. Cleveland cross-matching (relative to the defensive matchups
Golden State sets) would make it easier for Curry to lose his man on
fastbreaks. The Golden State point guard is a terror in transition, hunting
open 3s.
布局盘算时, 骑士应该去想当自己进攻时, Curry会来守谁呢? 骑士面对勇士的防守跑
出cross match时, 会让Curry在快攻时甩开防守他的人更容易些, 攻防转换时的Curry
是最致命的武器, 因为他很常借此机会找到空档砍三分
Not that he’s easy to stop in halfcourt, either.
并且要把他挡在中场也很难
Curry doesn’t need much space to shoot, which makes switching on
pick-and-rolls an ideal strategy – when possible. Tristan Thompson can
probably handle it. Timofey Mozgov probably can’t. LeBron can. Shumpert
probably can. Irving probably can’t. Dellavedova might.
因为Curry只需要一小缝空间就能出手, 这让挡拆成了他最理想的战术, 以骑士的阵容
来细看, 或许能处理好勇士档拆的: TT, LBJ, Shumpert, Della; 应该办不到的: Moz
跟Irving.
That leaves few workable switching combinations – Shumpert-Thompson,
Shumpert-LeBron, LeBron-Thompson. At least – if Thompson primarily guards
Green and Shumpert primarily guards Curry – Cleveland can switch on Golden
State’s favored Curry-Green pick-and-roll.
这样子我们大概知道该怎么安排防守挡拆的组合了, 分别是Shumpert跟TT, Shumpert跟
LBJ, 以及LBJ跟TT. 如果TT主要去守追梦绿而Shumpert主要去守Curry, 那骑士就可以
挡下勇士有名的"咖哩-绿"连线了
When Andrew Bogut (guarded by Mozgov) sets a ball screen, the Cavaliers might
favor the more conservative approach they’ve shown the second half the
season. Curry’s man will try to force him inside the arc, where Mozgov will
back off and protect the paint. Curry can drain long 2s, but forcing him into
that shot, is a relative win.
如果Moz防守的Bogut跑出来做挡拆, 那骑士应该会像下半季那样的爽, 守Curry的人会把
Curry逼在三分线内, 此时Mozgov向后退去保护禁区, 那么Curry就只能投远距离的两分
球, 能逼着他一直做这个的话, 相对来说就是成功
LeBron will also have turns in the Curry pick-and-rolls. If Cleveland tries
hiding Irving on Barnes or Iguodala, that puts LeBron on Green. So do
Cleveland’s small lineups – at least when the Warriors don’t counter with
Green at center, which they very well could do.
LBJ也有机会去守要打挡拆时的Curry, 如果骑士让Irving去守Barnes或小AI的话, LBJ就
会去守追梦绿, 至少在勇士没让追梦绿去扛中锋时, 骑士是很可能摆出这样的小阵容的
Long story short, LeBron will be involved in Cleveland’s defense of Curry.
LeBron might even directly guard Curry for stretches.
长话短说, LBJ将会是骑士去守Curry的一步棋, 或许就直接让他去守Curry了
The Cavaliers – especially with LeBron on him – might even try trapping to
keep Curry off balance. Curry is a good enough ball-handler and passer to
beat those traps, and the Warriors’ other players pass well, which would
keep a short-handed defense underneath scrambling.
骑士或许还会去设陷阱让Curry失去平衡, 特别是当LBJ防守Curry的时候, 但Curry那极
出色的控球与传球技巧将能击溃那些陷阱, 其他的勇士球员也都传的很好, 这些都将让
骑士的防守左支右绌
But at least Cleveland has options for defending Curry. Maybe none of them
work, but at least there are options.
起码骑士还是派的出人去防守Curry的, 即使这些人都防不了, 但志在防守不在成功咩
In the regular season, the Cavaliers were pretty middling defending point
guards. Per 82games, Cleveland was nearly average by both efficiency and
volume against opposing point guards:
本季常规赛里, 骑士防守对方控卫的效率约在中段班, 请大家点开连结的图就能看到,
对于对手控卫的效率跟得分数值, 骑士都真的是中段班水准
But as the playoffs have shown, Cleveland is vulnerable here.
但季后赛一开打, 骑士这数据就崩溃了
It seemed Teague in particular should have attacked the Cavaliers more. He
often found success when he did.
特别是Teague对战骑士时分数拿的特爽~
Curry presents a far greater challenge.
所以现在面前的Curry, 对骑士来说看来更可怕啊
Look for the Cavaliers to keep Irving on Curry as much as possible. That
might be an infinitesimal amount, but the more they can, the better.
所以骑士极其希望Irving能尽可能的防守住Curry, 虽然这或许是不太可能的事, 但总是
有做有希望, 没做错咧蛋, 不是吗?
Shumpert is the most obvious candidate to do the heavy lifting once Irving
falters. LeBron would do well too, but in anything more than limited
stretches, the job gets too taxing for him – especially considering his
heavy offensive burden.
如果Irving守不住, 那Shumpert就是接下来最可能上来扛赛的人选, 当然喇叭詹也在扛
赛的名单内, 但考量到进攻时他是阵中最需要的火力, 所以没到绝路时还是别轻易让他
去扛赛浪费宝贵的体力吧
The Warriors will drag Mozgov into pick-and-rolls, which he can handle OK,
but not as well as Thompson. That might tempt Cleveland to go small more
often, which might push Golden State to play small, too. The Warriors’ small
lineups are dangerous, but at least they offer a place for Irving to hide on
defense.
勇士也会把Mozgov扯进挡拆战术里, 这对K汤的发挥很有利, 而这将会迫使骑士更常摆上
小阵容来让勇士也跟着以小阵容应战, 虽然勇士的小阵容杀伤力很大, 但至少这阵容能
让Irving在防守上有活可做
The Cavaliers plan for containing Curry will trickle down into many other
decisions for both teams, but the Cavaliers’ challenge starts there.
骑士对于限制住Curry的计划, 对两队来说都有着许多牵一发动全身的影响, 但这就是骑
士在总冠军赛最大的考验
It’s a big one.
