[外絮] Nowitzki：阿肥那招跳投無人可守

https://is.gd/c7OZYQ Nowitzki, the Dallas Mavericks' legend, Hall of Fame Class of 2023 member and godfather of the one-legged fadeaway, wasn't watching live as the Nuggets punched their ticket on May 22 to the franchise's first NBA Finals. Traveling internationally with family, Nowitzki has limited his recent viewing of the playoffs to catching highlights the next morning. Nowitzki，達拉斯小牛隊的傳奇球星、2023年名人堂成員和單腳後仰跳投的教父級人物。 在5月22日金塊打入隊史首次總冠軍賽時並沒有看直播。 他正與家人一起出國旅行， 所以 Nowitzki 最近只在隔天早上觀看重點剪輯來追蹤季後賽進度。 "[Jokic's] got a knack for making tough shots, so I was not really surprised that he ended up making that," Nowitzki told ESPN. "He can put the release point all the way behind his head and then shoot it super high in the air with unbelievable mark." 「Jokic 擅長砍進那些困難的投籃， 所以他能夠成功命中，這我是一點都不感到驚訝，」Nowitzki 告訴ESPN。 「他可以把出手點置於頭部後方， 然後以令人難以置信的高弧度將球射向半空中。」 Those types of shots, often delivered after the defense appears to have taken away all the decent options for Jokic, tend to deflate entire arenas while delivering staggering blows to even the best players in the league. 阿肥使出這招， 多半是在防守方，看似已經限制了他所有上乘出手選擇後拿出這招絕活。 這招往往能讓整個客場的氣氛降至谷底， 甚至對聯盟中最好的那些球員造成深刻的打擊。 "I'm happy for him. He's amazing, one of the best players in the world," Nowitzki said. "And he's showing that right now on this stage." 「實在替他感到高興。他打得太好了，世界上最好的球員之一，」 「而他現在正在大舞台上展現出這一點。」 Jokic shot 63.2% from the floor during the regular season, a figure typically seen only from centers whose shot diet consists primarily of dunks and putbacks, despite frequently taking jumpers and floaters that are considered tough shots for even the purest of sharpshooters. 阿肥在季賽期間的投籃命中率達到63.2%， 這個數字通常只有中鋒類型的球員能夠達到， 原因是他們的得分途徑主要是灌籃和進攻籃板補進。 然而阿肥常常使用跳投和小拋投－ 即使對於爐火純青的射手，都被認為是並不簡單的投籃方式－ 來做為進攻手段。 According to NBA.com tracking data, 727 of Jokic's 1,022 field goal attempts during the regular season qualified as tightly contested. He made a preposterous 64.6% of those shots. Jokic's efficiency has dipped a bit during this playoff run but remains elite, particularly for a player averaging 30.5 points, 13.4 rebounds and 10.1 assists. He's shooting 54.6% from the floor and 57.7% on tightly contested shots, several of which have been some variation of Nowitzki's one-legged jumper and many coming with just seconds remaining on the shot or game clock. 根據NBA.com的數據追蹤， 在季賽期間，阿肥1,022次出手中，有727次被視為遭受嚴防。 而他在這些投籃中，命中率驚人地達到了64.6%。 雖然在季後賽中，阿肥的效率略所下降，但仍然保持在最頂尖的水準， 尤其對於一個平均每場比賽得到30.5分、13.4個籃板和10.1次助攻的球員來說。 他的投籃命中率為54.6%，在遭受嚴防的情況下，投籃命中率達到了57.7%。 其中幾次投籃方式更是類似的 Nowitzki 單腳跳投， 當中許多投籃都是在投籃或比賽時間只剩幾秒的情況下投進的。 Nowitzki's fadeaway was always launched off his left leg. The Sombor Shuffle, which Jokic developed in 2017 during shooting workouts while recovering from a sprained left ankle, is launched off his right foot. Nowitzki 的後仰投籃總是由他的左腳起跳。 而阿肥在2017年練習投籃時，因左腳踝扭傷而開發出了「Sombor Shuffle」， 這動作則是是由他的右腳起跳。 "It's just something that works for him," Nowitzki said. "I never liked shooting off that right foot on that one. I thought I felt it was super hard for me just to coordinate. It was easier off the left foot, but it actually looks pretty smooth for him off the right leg. 「我想這就是他覺得順手好投的姿勢，」Nowitzki 說。 「對我來說，我一直不喜歡用右腳起跳投籃，我會覺得很不協調。 用左腳起跳對我來說更加容易，但他用右腳啟動的動作看起來相當流暢。」 "There's no way to get to it [as a defender] 'cause he's also 7 feet and moving away from the defender on that shot. It's just impossible to get to." 「你根本無法去干擾他出手（作為防守者）， 因為他身高有七呎，並且在投籃還會和防守者拉開距離。防守者根本就搆不到。」 "He has the balance," Nowitzki said. "He's got the touch for it. He's got the high release point. He's got all the things you need to shoot that shot well. He found that. 「他能在那個動作下維持平衡。」 「他有那種球感，也有夠高的出手點。 他具備了一切使這個投籃動作發揮出色所需的要素。他練成了屬於他的方法。」 "Obviously he's not the fastest, most athletic guy. It's not as easy to keep driving by people and grind all the time. That's just the shot that he can get off at any time, and he makes it look super easy." 「很顯然他不會是球場上最快、最有體能天賦的人。 他很難一直靠速度突破對手並展開進攻。 然而這招投籃就是他隨時都能出手的進攻方式，而他讓這一招看起來超級輕鬆。」 https://i.imgur.com/ZE53yYi.png 無法防守的七呎投籃 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.234.46.191 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1686467917.A.A25.html
