LBJ场上脚步已逐渐变慢 湖人正在为此付出代价
LeBron James Is Slowing Down, and the Lakers Are Paying for It

James has slowed down this season—literally. According to Second Spectrum's
statistics, the average speed at which he moves around the court is lower
this season than it's been in any of the six seasons for which NBA.com has
recorded data. This drop has been especially notable on the defensive end;
among those averaging more than 10 minutes per game, the only players who
have moved more slowly this season when the other team has the ball are Dirk
Nowitzki, who can basically no longer move at all, and James Harden, whose
defensive issues have long been a topic of public debate.
本季LBJ脚步已经慢下来，根据Second Spectrum整理，NBA官方6年前开始纪录移动数据以
来，本季LBJ场上移动平均速度是最低的一季，特别是防守端下滑的最显著：平均每上场
超过10分钟的球员里，唯二防守端相较LBJ移动更慢的球员，是Dirk Nowitzki和James
Harden；前者是年纪无法动作，后者是长年以来的防守都被人诟病。
According to research by Dave McMenamin of ESPN, James has been blocked on a
potential go-ahead field goal attempt in the final five seconds of a game
only six times since 2008; after Sunday's swat by Hezonja, it's now happened
twice in the past two months.
根据ESPN专家Dave McMenamin整理，自2008年以来，LBJ在比赛结束前5秒内的出手，仅有
6次被完全封阻下来。包含昨天Hezonja封阻在内，过去2个月就发生了2次。
LeBron has paired that decline in effectiveness inside with a sharply
increased willingness to cast away from outside, posting the highest 3-point
attempt rate of his career despite shooting just 33.9 percent from long
distance. He has grown especially fond of the stepback triple; he's taken 45
this season, on pace to surpass last season's 49, which was far and away the
most he'd taken in a season going back to 2007-08, the first season for which
NBA.com's shot-tracking data includes stepback jumpers. And whatever kind of
footwork precedes his jumper, James is taking them from farther away more
frequently than ever: 23.9 percent of his total field goal attempts this
season have been deep 3s from 25 feet out or beyond, by far the highest share
of his career, and nearly four times the rate he posted when he entered the
league in 2003.
LBJ强攻内线的效率下降、转移至外线投射的意愿大幅上升，尽管长距离命中率仅33.9%，
LBJ三分出手数还是冲到生涯新高。LBJ特别喜爱Stepback三分，本季已尝试Stepback三分
出手45次，照此节奏可超越上季49次，这是自NBA官方纪录以来最高的一季。无论LBJ早年
的步法是什么，现在的LBJ都较过去更频繁地、离篮框更远处出手。LBJ本季从25英呎或更
远处出手率占总出手数23.9%，这也是LBJ职业生涯的新高纪录，同时也是自2003菜鸟球季
的近4倍比率。
