No.52
Rudy Gay
Kings | Forward | Last year: 67
It’s important to distinguish between Rudy Gay, the player, and Rudy Gay,
the idea. The latter is irrelevant for our purposes. The former, on the other
hand, is coming off of his best season as a pro: a productive, efficient, and
unselfish campaign as one of Sacramento’s usage leaders. Gay hasn’t
transformed his game so much as seen it through to maturity. Although the
areas of the floor where he operates most frequently have shifted over time,
Gay’s basic skills and approach have remained more or less the same. The
growth is in the doing; gradual refinement and a slow shift in Gay’s
creative priorities have made him a better version of what he’s always been.
我们要分清楚球员Rudy Gay和理想的Rudy Gay。后面的那个跟我们无关。前面那位成功
的打出他最好的球季，一个多产、有效率和不自私的国王队领导者。
Gay的“位置”没有变，是他在球场上游走的区域变了然后他的基础打法和能力也没有大
改变，他比以前好的原因是他打得成熟。
With that comes the same basic concerns regarding Gay’s work on defense.
Dwelling too much on Gay’s shot selection always risked missing the point.
Gay, a long-armed, 6’9” wing, should be more useful in coverage than he is.
He should have the tools after nine NBA seasons to help his team guard. That
just isn’t the case. We’ve seen Gay defend well for stretches or games at a
time, though too often he’s caught standing upright with his hands down or
lulled a full step out of position. The balance is underwhelming. – R.M.
同套观念可以灌输在Gay身上。太过着墨于Gay的出手选择会失去重点。他有着6'9的臂展
在掩护范围上他应该能做的更多。打了九年，他应该学到怎么帮队上后卫防守了。
可是他没有。有时候我们会看到他打出一段好防守，但往往他不是束手站着旁观，就是恍
神跟人慢一步。

No.51
Ty Lawson
Rockets | Guard | Last year: 44
After playing for powerhouses at Oak Hill Academy and the University of North
Carolina, and making the playoffs in each of his first four seasons in
Denver, one wonders what was going through Ty Lawson’s head as the Nuggets
self-combusted over the last two seasons. What was he thinking when the
Nuggets parted ways with George Karl, or when they failed to retain GM Masai
Ujiri, or when the resulting front office mixed nepotism with inexperience,
or when Karl’s replacement started pulling desperate JV stunts like rapping
his scouting reports to players and regularly calling out his team in the
media?
在打过Oak Hill Academy和北卡大，还有前四季在金块队都打进季后赛后，想知道
在金块自爆的这两季Lawson在想些什么? 当金块把Karl换掉、不让GM Masai Ujiri回来、
制服组没经验的乱搞、接替Karl的教练在媒体上大声想唤起球队时，Lawson在想些什么呢?
Once you’ve tasted the best champagne in the world, you’re more likely to
grimace at the cheap stuff, right? Maybe it shouldn’t be a surprise, then,
that, Lawson wasn’t in any big hurry to get back from the All-Star break. Or
that a report suggested that the Nuggets were counting down the days until
the end of the season with huddle chants. Or that Lawson’s production and
efficiency slipped during his second straight lottery season in 2014-15. Or
that his Defensive Real Plus-Minus rating plummeted to 66th among point
guards in 2014-15. Everyone knew the Nuggets were going nowhere, and Lawson
appeared like he had checked out even before he was livestreaming himself
smoking hookah and floating trade speculation on draft night.
当你尝过世界顶级的滋味后，就不会在意这些廉价的事物，对吧？或许不用惊讶，Lawson
并不急着回到全明星。在报告指出金块只是在等这季结束，Lawson的效率在2014-2015球季
大幅滑落，Lawson的防守(DRPM)在控卫中掉到第66名。大家都知道金块没救了，但
Lawson却好像已经知道一样，开始在在直播中抽水烟并等著在选秀后被交易。
To be clear, there’s absolutely no excuse for Lawson’s reckless and stupid
off-court behavior, which has seen him arrested twice for DUI this year, and
Denver was smart to ship him to Houston to clear the way for promising rookie
Emmanuel Mudiay. Lawson clearly needs help, and the NBA should throw the book
at him from a suspension standpoint once his cases are fully resolved.
说实在的，Lawson完全没有借口去解释他场外的鲁莽与无知，当他今年两次因为酒驾被逮
。金块很聪明地为了清出空间改Mudiay把他交易到火箭。Lawson真的需要帮忙，联盟应该
对他禁赛直到他的问题能解决。
But Lawson, 27, need not be a lost cause: his track record of success from
high school through the Karl years suggests he can be a high-functioning
player for a high-performing team, and a change of scenery was clearly needed
given Denver’s dysfunction. The speedy, 5’11” point guard looks like a
strong fit with the Rockets, who play an up-tempo style that perfectly suits
Lawson’s game, are coming off a trip to the Western Conference finals, and
have enough A-list talent to avoid burdening Lawson with leadership
responsibility. Lawson’s primary skills – pushing the pace, breaking down
defenses off the dribble, instinctively distributing the ball and knocking
down three-point shots – are all valued in GM Daryl Morey’s vision of the
game. Hopefully, once Lawson clears his head, he will realize that he’s been
given one hell of a second chance. – B.G.
但27岁的他不应该失败，他从高中到Karl执教这段时间的成功纪录说明他能是一个在一个
高表现的球队中成为一位多功能的球员。在金块有问题的时候，确实应该要给他一个新的
空间。这个5'11的速度型后卫应该会很适合火箭队，火箭的高张力很适合Lawson，火箭也
打进过西区总冠军，也有足够多顶级球员来避免造成Lawson的负担。Lawson的绝技
