[投稿]爵士正在執行古怪的防守並開始有效

http://tinyurl.com/y4ra42tc The Utah Jazz are running some wacky defenses — and they’ve been working. This is why. Will Hardy is mixing things up on the defensive end, and it’s helped his team beat the Knicks and Blazers in back-to-back games. 猶他爵士隊的防守有些古怪——Will Hardy在防守端把事情揉合了一些方式而且持續發揮 成效。這就是為什麼能幫助他的球隊在背靠背的比賽中，擊敗了尼克隊和拓荒者隊。 By Andy Larsen | Dec. 15, 2023, 11:20 p.m. One thing I’ve loved in the Utah Jazz’s two wins this week: their defenses. Not singular, plural. 在猶他爵士隊本週的兩場勝利中，我喜歡的一件事是：他們的防守。 不是單一，是複數的做法。 The Jazz are switching between three defensive schemes right now: their base man defense, their main zone that ends up being sort of a 1-1-2-1 look, and a box-and-one where either Collin Sexton or Kris Dunn is deployed on the opposing team’s best player while the rest of the team guards an area of the court. Watching Jazz games in person this week has been a spectacle, as Jazz coach Will Hardy jumps up and down to signal a new defensive look every time down the floor. 爵士隊現在正在三種防守方式之間切換：他們的基礎防守布陣，他們的主要防守最終形成 了一種1-1-2-1的陣型，以及由 Collin Sexton 或 Kris Dunn 的box-one防守針對在對方 球隊最好的球員身上，而球隊的其他球員則負責防守球場的某個區域。本週看爵士隊的比 賽真是一場奇觀，爵士隊教練 Will Hardy 在場邊指揮每次新的防守布陣，都跳上跳下搞 到他自己快腦充血。 Holding up a fist? That’s the box-and-one. Holding three fingers up? That’s the zone. 舉起拳頭？這是box-one防守。 舉起三根手指？這是區域防守。 The novel defenses have worked. The Jazz’s non-man defenses allowed 0.825 points against the Knicks and 0.847 points per possession against the Blazers, well below their usual averages. (Their man defenses allowed more than a point per possession in both contests.) A team that was the worst half-court defense in the league suddenly looks respectable. 新奇的防守戰術奏效了。爵士隊的非對人防守在對陣尼克隊時每回合失分 0.825 分，在 對陣拓荒者隊時每回合失分 0.847 分，遠低於他們平時的平均水平。(他們的對人防守在 兩場比賽中，每控球回合都讓對手得分超過一分。)這讓一支聯盟中半場防守最爛的球隊 突然看起來開始像樣。 While it’s a small sample size, it’s worth looking at what the Jazz are doing to try to understand it. 雖然樣本數很少，但值得嘗試理解看爵士隊正在做什麼。 The box and one This is where the Jazz can unleash Sexton and Dunn — two ultra-competitive guards who aren’t super impactful in team-oriented defensive schemes due to lack of size. box-one防守 這是爵士隊可以發揮 Sexton 和 Dunn 能力的方式——這兩名極具好勝心跟鬥性的後衛， 由於身材矮小，在以團隊為導向的防守方式中他們沒辦法帶來超強的影響力。 “I think Collin and Kris, those guys are very good when they’re on assignment — like this is my responsibility and everybody else sort of helps behind them,” Hardy said. Will Hardy說:「我認為 Collin 和 Kris，這些人在執行場上任務時非常出色 - 像這就 是我在場邊指揮的責任，其他人都在他們身後提供幫助，」 I’ll go further: What both players can absolutely do is shadow one guy until they’re pulled off the court in a fit of dehydration. This is how wild it is: Against the Knicks, Sexton shadowed Jalen Brunson to such a ridiculous extent that Brunson walked off the court during play into the Jazz’s tunnel in order to shake him. Sexton still followed him. 進一步說明：兩名球員可以執行徹底的就是跟防一個人，直到他們因累到脫水而被換下場 。 事情就是這樣瘋狂：對陣尼克隊的比賽中，塞克斯頓對 Jalen Brunson 的跟防達到了 荒謬的程度，以至於 Brunson 在比賽中心神不寧的下球場走入爵士場邊球員通道， Sexton 還繼續跟著他。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWhAPp6h_0I “Collin took his job very literally. That was Collin going above and beyond his work responsibilities,” Hardy laughed. “I guess it’s one way to deny the guy the ball — let’s take him back in the back.” Collin 非常認真地執行場上工作。 那是 Collin 甚至超越了他的工作範圍。」 Hardy 笑著說。“我想這是阻止對方拿球的一種方法——讓我們把他帶回後場。” That’s an extreme example, but it has been effective. With Brunson out of the picture, the Jazz could play 4-on-4 elsewhere on the court, and they felt fine with forcing the likes of R.J. Barrett (who shot 3-16) to make plays. 這是一個極端的例子，但它確實有效。當 Brunson 在場上消失的狀況，爵士隊可以在球 場上的其他位置做4對4的防守並發揮出色，比方迫使 R.J. Barrett 在這場比賽中投16中 3。 Sexton did the same thing in the Portland game, this time bodying up Anfernee Simons. Behind them, the other four Jazz players were in a zone, with Simone Fontecchio picking up ball handler Shaedon Sharpe at the top of the diamond. When Sharpe drives, everyone collapses onto the ball, forcing the miss. Sexton 在對陣波特蘭的比賽中也做了同樣的事情，這次是對 Anfernee Simons 的防守。 在他們身後，其他四名爵士隊球員都在 box-one 防守區域內， Simone Fontecchio 在防 守陣型的菱形頂部，應對控球的 Shaedon Sharpe 。當 Sharpe 突破時，每個人都會內 縮對球防守，迫使他出手失敗。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIsL9kkCZbs Back in the Knicks game, Brunson got tired of not having the ball after being ball-denied for so long. So when he did get it, he tried to score at all costs ... including taking a step back 22-footer with 14 seconds on the shot clock late in the third. Again, the Jazz are thrilled about this. 回到尼克隊的比賽中， Brunson 對長時間拿不到球感到煩躁。因此當他拿到球後，他不 惜一切代價嘗試得分……包括在第三節比賽還剩 14 秒時做了一個倉促的 22呎墊步跳投 ，爵士隊很高興他這麼做。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZCW9aG0j2Q To be sure, playing this scheme requires that the other team have players you ’re comfortable with attacking you in the extra space that a 4-on-4 provides. In the regular season, there definitely are those guys. In the Knicks game, it was Barrett, Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, and Quentin Grimes. In the Blazers game, the Jazz were fine with forcing Sharpe, Matisse Thybulle, Toumani Camara, Jabari Walker, and Duop Reath to try to make something happen. 為了確定能執行這個對策，需要場上的球員在 4 對 4 佈陣下，隊伍能舒適應對對手額外 的進攻空間。例行賽中肯定有相應對的球員。在與尼克隊的比賽中，是 Barrett 、 Josh Hart 、 Donte DiVincenzo 和 Quentin Grimes 。在與拓荒者隊的比賽中，爵士隊很好 地迫使 Sharpe 、 Matisse Thybulle 、 Toumani Camara 、 Jabari Walker 、 Duop Reath 去嘗試執行。 The wacky zone 奇怪的區域防守 This isn’t your grandfather’s 2-3 zone. The Jazz’s zone is kind of a modified 2-3 in which one player guards up top, one helps on drives near the free throw line, two players guard the entire wings of the court, and Walker Kessler is in the center. So like this: 這不是你祖父輩老派的 2-3 區域。 爵士隊的區域是一種改良版的2-3陣型，其中一名球員負責防守頂部，一名球員在罰球圈 附近協助防守，兩名球員負責防守整個側翼，而 Walker Kessler 則位於中間。像這樣： https://i.imgur.com/ycHLuqu.jpeg The Jazz's base formation in a zone defense. 爵士隊的基礎防守陣型是聯防。 Hardy has two goals in this zone: don’t allow dribble penetration, and don’ t allow corner threes. Everything else is what the Jazz want their opponents to take. Hardy 在這個區域有兩個目標：不被運球突破，不被找到底角三分投籃機會。其他一切方 式都是爵士希望對手執行的。 So as this clip begins, Talen Horton-Tucker is defending the ballhandler from behind, while Sexton’s there to help on the drive in the front. Kessler is lurking behind. This is really rough driving territory, so the ball is kicked to the wing. 因此，當這段影片開始時， Talen Horton-Tucker 從後面防守持球者，而 Sexton 則在 前面阻止突破。 Kessler 潛伏在後面。 這確實是一個很難找進攻點的區域，所以球被逼 到側邊。 When it is, Simone Fontecchio’s number one goal is to prevent the pass to the corner — even before preventing the shot from the wing. You can see how much he’s shading towards that sideline to prevent that pass. Eventually, the ball is passed again, and the Blazers find DeAndre Ayton down low for a 14-foot push shot... another shot the Jazz love to see. 當這種情況發生時， Simone Fontecchio 的首要目標就是阻止傳球到角落——甚至在阻 止在外側兩翼到底角找機會出手。 你可以看到他向邊線移動了多少以阻止傳球。拓荒者 球只好再傳出，最後讓 DeAndre Ayton 在罰球圈附近面對Kessler 進行14呎的跳投…… 這又是爵士隊喜歡看到的投籃。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fxr4NaVl_8k The old adage when playing zone offense is to get the ball to the center. But you can see how the Jazz would be completely cool with that in most cases: Kessler stepping up to Ayton at the free-throw line with everyone else covered is a good situation for the Jazz, not a bad one. 區域進攻時的傳統起手式是將球傳給中鋒。但你可以看到在大多數情況下，爵士隊很冷靜 的面對佈陣： Kessler 在罰球線上與 Ayton 站在一起，其他人都互相掩護，這對爵士隊 來說是一個好局面，而不是一個壞局面。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh_tupDDwJc “We don’t want guys at the top of the key but like, we’re OK with it,” Kessler said. “They’re just guarded by the five, and it’s fine.” Even when the zone offense is very good, like here when the Knicks drive and move the defense multiple times, the grand benefit of the zone defense is that Kessler is near the rim, and his tremendous NBA skill is that he can block shots that he might even be out of position for. 「我們不希望對手在弧頂發起進攻，但基本上這個狀況還行」 Kessler 說。“他們只有 五個人要防守，沒什麼問題。” 即使聯防非常好，就像尼克隊多次突破和牽動防守一樣，聯防的最大好處是 Kessler 在 籃框附近，而他出色的 NBA 技巧是他可以煽火鍋。甚至可能造成對手失位。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUFJrTWpmrU Understandably, Kessler said the zone was “fun” for him to play. I get why: it’s cool stuff, built around his unique skills! 可以理解的是， Kessler 說這個區域對他來說執行起來「很有趣」。 我明白為什麼：這 是很酷的東西，是圍繞著他獨特球技構建的！ Yes, better shooting and smarter offensive teams are going to be able to diagnose the defense and play special offensive schemes against it that are going to probably work better than what the Knicks and Blazers brought. But even making opposition offenses think is to the Jazz’s advantage. 是的，更好的投籃和更聰明的進攻球隊，將能夠判斷防守並針對防守採取特殊的進攻決策 ，這可能會比尼克和拓荒者帶來的效果更好。但即使讓對手思考進攻，這對爵士隊來說也 是有利的。 “Outside of verticality, the only thing in the NBA that benefits the defense is the shot clock,” Hardy said. “So we need to try to maximize that part of the game. And by being a little bit disruptive mentally, we can eat up a couple of seconds of each possession by trying to make them run something different.” 「除了場上高度之外，NBA中唯一對防守有利的就是進攻時間，」Hardy 說。「所以我們 需要盡力最大化比賽的這一部分。 通過在精神上進行一點破壞，我們可以通過嘗試讓他 們跑出不同的戰術來消耗每次控球的秒數。” The most important thing, Hardy says, is not getting too predictable on the defensive end, and the Jazz have been able to do that by throwing some unpredictable schemes at their opponents. That’s an important skill that Hardy thinks will benefit his players down the road, when some of them are on the next Jazz playoff team. Hardy 說，最重要的事情是在防守端不要變得太可預測，而爵士隊已經能夠透過向對手拋 出一些不可預測的戰術來做到這一點。 哈迪認為這是一項重要技能，這將使他的球員受 益，因為他們中的一些人將進入下一支爵士季後賽球隊。 -- 下一支爵士季後賽球隊?? -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.224.140.134 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/UTAH-JAZZ/M.1703325904.A.7F8.html
