No.40
Pau Gasol
Bulls | Forward | Last year: 49
Pau Gasol hopped into a time machine in 2014–15, posting his best PER since
2010–11, his most Win Shares since 2010–11 and earning his first All-Star
and All-NBA selections since, you guessed it, 2010–11. The turnaround was
somewhat surprising, given that the Spanish 7-footer celebrated his 35th
birthday this summer, but it wasn’t totally out of the blue.
Pau Gasol 2014-2015球季像是进到了时空机器一样，打出了2010-2011后最好的PER，
最好的Win Shares。并在2010后，再度入选全明星跟全NBA队。这样事的发生让这个7尺
西班牙长人能在他35岁生日能好好庆祝，但是这些不是凭空而来的。
Gasol made a thoughtful choice in leaving the Lakers for the Bulls in 2014.
Gasol knew he would be in line for a central role and big minutes in the
Windy City, and injuries to Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah only magnified his
importance to the team concept. Plus, moving from the stronger West to the
weaker East is always a smart career decision, especially for veteran big
men.
Gasol在2014年做好决定离开湖人。他知道他在芝加哥会成为核心并得到大量上场时间，
而Rose和Noah的受伤更放大了他在球队的重要性。加上对他这个长人而言移到相对弱的
东区绝对是个好的决定。
When all was said and done, Gasol joined Kings center DeMarcus Cousins as the
only players to average 18/11 last season. Even more remarkably, Gasol held
up for 78 games and nearly 2,700 minutes under demanding coach Tom Thibodeau
after missing 20-plus games due to assorted injuries in each of the previous
two seasons. The injury bug did finally bite during Chicago’s second-round
playoff series against Cleveland, as Gasol suffered a left hamstring strain
that helped swing the outcome in the Cavaliers’ favor.
加入后，他与表弟成为唯二能在上季缴出18/11的表现的人。而且在他前两季都缺席缺席20
场以上的情况下，这季他在锡伯度的要求下打了78场，接近2700分钟。但受伤还是在公牛
第二轮的时候影响了球队，在他左腿受伤的情况下，使骑士顺利晋级。
Gasol’s fit in Chicago was better than L.A., clearly, but it wasn’t ideal.
Offensively, the Bulls were happy to welcome a polished scoring threat that
could get it done in the paint and at the elbow. Defensively, Gasol’s
presence was a little more problematic, and Noah wasn’t able to provide
adequate cover due to ongoing injury issues. Indeed, the Gasol/Noah tandem
often looked clunky, and their combined presence made for a cramped court on
offense and mismatches on defense. New coach Fred Hoiberg will need to
reconsider how to best use the two players, weighing the benefits of their
length and passing abilities against smaller looks that might offer greater
room for the guards to operate and a little more perimeter potency. The
upcoming season represents a contract year for Gasol, who holds a $7.8
million player option for 2016–17. One final major payday will be waiting if
he can repeat last season’s Back to the Future act. – B.G.
与其待在湖人，Gasol更适合在公牛，但是不是最好的。攻击端，公牛很欢迎能在油漆区
和肘区成为得分威胁的他。防守端，Gasol却比较有问题，Noah因伤无法提供足够的掩护。
事实上，他们两人的合作看起来就很笨重，他们在场上攻击空间会被受限制，防守则常常
错位。新的教练Fred Hoiberg需要重新考虑怎么最好的运用这样个球员，衡量他的在身高
和传球的优势，和他们会压缩后卫视野的劣势，让后卫更有空间可以操作，也让中远程的
投射更有机会得分。
下一季，是Gasol的合约年并在2016年有780万的球员选项。如果他能复制上季的表现，
他可以在最后领到一张大约。

No.39
Rudy Gobert
Jazz | Center | Last year: —
It took just 37 games as a starter last season for Gobert to make an upstart
case for Defensive Player of the Year. Utah just so happened to rank as the
best defensive team in the league from the moment of Gobert’s promotion. The
causality is transparent. According to a metric created by Nylon Calculus, no
player saved more points at the rim in the regular season; Gobert was not
only positioned well to contest a ton of opponent attempts but allowed a
league-low 40.4% on those shots. No one in the NBA has yet figured out what
to do with the 23-year-old eraser, who in two brief seasons has risen from
prospect of intrigue to undeniable stalwart.
去年才37场先发的Gobert却已经可以竞争DPOY。在他出现后，爵士跃身为联盟最好的防守
球队，这是有关联的。根据Nylon Calculus的测量，没有人比他更能帮球队在禁区守住
分数。Gobert不只能卡好位置来面对对方的进攻，他的防守还使对方只有40.4%的命中率。
还没有人知道怎么对付这个23岁的才仅仅两季就从潜力新秀就跃身为不可忽略的防守者。
Gobert is choosy enough to understand when to stay down and bold enough to
challenge a power dunker as they pull back the hammer. Length allows him to
split the difference. There are many possessions where Gobert, who has a 9’7
” standing reach, is able to snuff out an attempt while staying square and
planted. This keeps him agile in case the offense bails out, able to respond
to a quick dump-off pass or an unexpected change in direction. When he does
leave his feet, Gobert does a first-rate job of tracking his block to collect
the rebound. That kind of follow-through is rare. It’s uncommon enough that
a player who swats (in a literal sense, as opposed to blocking shots with
vertical extension) as many shots as Gobert manages to keep so many inbounds,
much less chase them down to complete the defensive play.
Gobert够聪明知道何时该压低重心(不被骗起来)，但他也够硬可以在空中对抗强力干篮的
球员。他的身高(摸高9'7 我在别篇有看到9'9)足以让他连站着不用跳的在油漆区扼杀一些
投篮。他的敏捷帮助他在攻击可以快速传球并变换方向。当他跳起时，Gobert便是为了搧火锅来得到篮板
。这很少见，像他这种搧锅力道，却能将大部分的锅打在场内来完成防守。
Unsurprisingly, Gobert’s diligence on the boards translates more broadly. He
rated as one of the best rebounders in the league last season on both sides
of the ball, yielding top-five standing in total rebound percentage. Those
rebounds he collected on the offensive end doubled as a crucial source of
offense. Nearly a third of Gobert’s points last season came off of put-backs
and the like—a ratio expressive of his wealth of second-chance points and
dearth of other scoring opportunities. Height and athleticism don’t always
translate to offense so easily. At the moment, Gobert scores little for his
finite accessibility. If he isn’t given the ball at just the right time and
within a specific distance of the rim, he doesn’t have the repertoire to
convert. Give him time; a player good enough to qualify for the top 40 prior
to his third season has earned a little latitude. – R.M.
不意外的是Gobert勤奋的抓篮板让他成为联盟攻守两端最好的篮板手，在篮板率前五。
他抓下的进攻篮板帮助球队有两倍的攻击机会。将近三分之一他的得分来自于补篮。
相当惊人的二次进攻的分数，而缺乏其他得分机会。他的身高和体能不是那们容易转换成
攻击。现在，在他有限的得分空间中他只能得少少的分。如果不是在正确的时间、特定的
篮下的位置，他是没有能力得分的。给他点时间吧，一个能在第三季就到前40名的球员
值得再他给一些空间。

No.38
Brook Lopez
Nets | Center | Last year: 36
Posting up is an important part of Lopez’s game but hardly the sum of it.
With time, he’s diversified. More of his offensive usage now comes from
rolling to the rim rather than working with his back to the basket—a quiet
change that dramatically alters what kind of role Lopez could occupy.
Efficient, high-volume post play demands a tailored structure. What Lopez has
become is more flexible to the minute-to-minute needs of a modern NBA team.
低位单打是Lopez重要的武器，但不只这样。他手段越来越多元，多半它的进攻来自于他
空切到篮下，而不是背框单打，这样的改变表示他改变了他能做的事情。一个有效但是大
辆低位单打的球员需要量身订制的战术。但是现在他更适合现在的NBA球队所需。
That’s especially important in light of Lopez’s injury history and the
ill-fated health of 7-footers in general. Building an offense around Lopez is
risky business. Using him as a prominent piece in a more adaptable system, on
the other hand, allows a team to benefit from his reliable scoring (21.2
points per 36 minutes last season on 51.3% shooting from the field) without
leaning too heavily on his structural function. Lopez will post some, roll
plenty, and cut to the rim opposite dribble penetration. He’ll score well
alongside bit players and superstars alike depending on the nature of what’s
needed.
尤其因为Lopez的伤病史，为他建立攻击体系实在是很大的风险。如果能让它融入球队，
让球队可以受益于他的得分表现(Per36:21.2分 FG:51.3%)而不用在体系上仰赖他太多。
Lopez偶而会低位单打，但更多空切。无论队友星杜只要打法合适，他就能顺畅得分。
What Lopez needs in return is the right kind of frontcourt counterpart. His
only option in pick-and-roll coverage is to drop back, meaning that he’s
best complemented by a forward who can cover lots of ground and handle more
mobile assignments. Lopez can still contribute on that end when he’s kept in
the right places; being as tall as he is allows him to get in the way of many
possessions and challenge relatively well around the basket. Some help on the
boards may be in order as well, even in the wake of Lopez’s best rebounding
season in years. His cleaning of the glass is more underwhelming than
catastrophic. Lopez grabbed a greater percentage of total rebounds than Marc
Gasol and Al Horford did last season, though ultimately he ranks low enough
(59th among players to log at least 1,000 minutes) for it to register some
level of concern. – R.M.
他需要一个正确的前场球员。他在P&R能做的只有退后，表示他需要一个前锋能应付更多
速度的任务。Lopez还是能透过站位来帮助球队，他的身高能帮助他卡位并在篮框附近
做得不错。也能抢一些篮板，即使这几季他已经做得最好了。他抓篮板的能力烂到让人
印象深刻，虽然比Marc Gasol和Horford好，但他的排名(59th)实在够低到值得注意。

心得: 两个控卫后变三个长人
新秀挑战赛我还是觉得MVP应该要给Gobert
话说为什么他的发音是 go-bear啊是因为法语吗?
