Over the last few seasons, the Philadelphia 76ers have remained one of the best
teams in the NBA. The credit for it goes to none other than Joel Embiid and his
rise to becoming a phenomenal superstar. But unlike traditional big men, Embiid
doesn't rely much on his game in the post to dominate players. Instead, the 76er
s superstar has a pretty solid shooting ability.
在过去的几个赛季里，费城76人队一直是NBA最好的球队之一。 这要归功于乔尔·恩比德这
位非凡的超级巨星。 但与传统的长人不同，恩比德不太依赖他在低位的比赛来统治比赛。
相反，这位76人队的超级巨星有着相当扎实的投射能力。
This is what makes Joel Embiid a great modern-day center. However, NBA legend Ha
keem Olajuwon recently took a dig at Embiid for shooting many 3-pointers instead
of dominating in the paint.
这就是Embiid成为一个伟大的现代中锋的原因。然而，Hakeem Olajuwon最近对Embiid进行
评判，因为他投了很多三分球，而不是在油漆区去发动主导。
Take Embiid. Olajuwon likes him and has given him advice, but he has questions.
“He’s got all the moves, but leveraging the moves is different. Why would he b
e shooting threes?” Olajuwon asks. “He has the advantage every night, and if I
have the advantage, I’m going to wear you out.”
Olajuwon：
Embiid拥有内线球员所有的技术动作，但如何利用这些动作是另一个问题。 他为什么要投
三分？ 他每晚都有很大的体型优势。 如果我面对防守者有这种优势，我会耗死对方。
But threes? “That’s settling! When I’m tired, I settle. You don’t settle whe
n you’re trying to win. You don’t start the game settling!”
但是三分呢？ 只有我累了，我才会这样打。 如果你想要赢，你不能这么这样打。 你不能
比赛一开始就打的如此安逸。
The Philadelphia 76ers continued their great form against the Portland Trail Bla
zers. and registered another win this season. Embiid continued his dominance, an
d after the win, the 28-year-old gave a response to Hakeem's recent criticism.
76人在对阵拓荒者的比赛中继续保持着他们的良好状态。在胜利之后，这位28岁的球员对Ha
keem最近的批评做出了回应。
Joel Embiid on his new favorite spot on the floor, the elbow/nail area: "From th
e time that [Doc Rivers] got there, the first thing that he told me was I need t
o figure out where I want the ball. Obviously before it was in the post, but lik
e I mentioned in the past, posting up and posting all game long is easy to doubl
e. It's funny when you've got these old guys always talking about posting up, yo
u need to spend time in the paint and all that stuff. You can't win this way any
more. It's not the fricking 90s or 80s like it used to be. So, they must not hav
e any basketball IQ.
Embiid接受了采访被问到自己在场上最喜欢的位置时表示：Doc来到球队告诉我的第一件事
就是，我需要弄清楚我想要的要球位置。 显然，在以前是在低位。 但是就像我之前提到的
那样，整场比赛都打低位，你很容易被包夹。 那些老人们总是谈论低位、说你必须一直待
在油漆区，这真的很搞笑。 你不可能再以这种没有实质性的方式赢球了。 现在不同于80、
90年代了。 所以，他们肯定没有任何篮球智商。
But going back to what I was saying, [Doc] told me that I need to find the area
on the floor that I'm most comfortable with. And obviously me and Drew [Hanlen],
we studied a lot. We just started figuring out, 'OK where can I be a better pla
ymaker, and when I can be a better scorer without being easily doubled?' And tha
t was at the nail. So, we started all of our work basically in those areas."
但回到我刚才说的，Doc告诉我，我需要找到自己在场上舒适的区域。显然我和我的训练师
就此研究了很多。我们刚刚开始搞清楚，我在哪里能成为一个更好的组织者，我在哪能成为
一个更好的得分手而不会被轻易包夹。这是关键所在，所以我们的工作集中在了这些区域。
