本次球員：No.29 DeAndre Jordan No.28 Dirk Nowitzki


這篇請手下留情


No.29

DeAndre Jordan

Clippers | Center | Last year: 38

The grand disappointment of DeAndre Jordan’s free agency was that the circus
wound up completely overshadowing what is one hell of a success story.
Jordan, 27, has spent his entire seven-year career with the Clippers, raising
his profile from second-round project to All-NBA and All-Defensive selection.
He survived multiple lottery seasons and the downfall of Donald Sterling to
emerge as the NBA’s leading rebounder and a crazy-efficient finisher who is
so durable that he can compare himself to Wolverine without eliciting
laughter (he hasn’t missed a game in four-plus seasons, after all). Yes,
there have been playoff disappointments and plenty of deserved barbs about
his poor foul shooting, but this summer should have been Jordan’s time to
shine in the media spotlight and soak up the feel-good recruiting pitches.

自由球員的DAJ在休賽季的搞笑搞砸了成功的故事。27歲的DAJ花了7年的生涯在快艇，

將自己成績從第二輪選秀提升到全NBA隊和全NBA防守隊的候選。他是NBA的頂級籃板手，

和有高效率的得分能力，並熬過了在多次樂透年卻沒有收穫的快艇，以及Sterling倒台的

事件。

他耐操的程度使他可以將自己跟金鋼狼媲美，而不被嘲笑(四季中他一場比賽都沒有缺席)

。確實在季後賽他的表現讓人失望，並受到許多關於他罰球命中率的批評。但是這一季

他是有機會重新得到媒體的焦點。

Instead, he made a mess of it. Stuck between his dreams of becoming the face
of a franchise in his home state of Texas and continuing on with a winning
formula in Southern California, Jordan chose both, which isn’t allowed. His
final decision—spurning the Mavericks for the Clippers—was the right
basketball move executed in horribly wrong fashion, and his emoji-laden
change of heart sets him up for years of jokes at his expense.

然而他搞砸了，他被卡在無法抉擇要在成為自己家鄉德州球隊的臉還是繼續待在勝利方

程式的快艇。他兩個都選了，但是這不可能的。他的最後的選擇-放棄了小牛，在籃球方

面是正確的，但是卻是破壞了自己的形象。他的負面顏文字讓他在往後的幾年會成為笑柄

。

Jordan’s return coupled with L.A.’s bench upgrades sets up the Clippers for
serious title contention. With Jordan in the middle on offense, constantly
looming as an over-the-top dunk threat, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin have
more room to work, and the Clippers’ wing shooters enjoy cleaner looks. His
ability to draw attention in pick-and-roll scenarios and pound the offensive
glass made him a critical component of L.A.’s No. 1 offense, even though he
averaged less than seven shots a game and attempted just five shots outside
the paint all season. With Jordan in the middle on defense, L.A. has enough
interior integrity to make up for some of its weaker individual defensive
pieces, it has a shot-blocking threat to dissuade paint attacks off the
dribble, and it has a vacuum-like defensive rebounder to cut short its
opponents’ possessions. Put together that entire package of skills and the
Clippers bring back perhaps the most athletically-gifted center in the NBA, a
player who ranked in the top 10 in Win Shares and WARP and in the top-25 in
PER and Real Plus-Minus. No wonder Doc Rivers and company went by plane,
train and automobile to make sure he stayed in the fold. – B.G.

他的回歸加上快艇板凳的升級使快艇更有能力爭奪總冠軍。Jordon在場上進攻時，他有著

穩定的灌籃威脅，可以讓CP3和Griffin有更多空間可以操作，並且讓快艇的搖擺人

射手們有更大的空檔。他能夠在P&R的時候吸引對手，並攻向籃框使是快艇成為聯盟攻擊第

一的一個重要元素。雖然他場均投籃不到七次，整季也只在禁區外出手五次。

他在防守時，快艇能彌補一對一單防的弱點，Jordon能對切入得分的對手有火鍋的威脅，

並且他有能力像是吸塵器一樣爭搶防守籃板。把這些能力放在一起，快艇把或許是聯盟

中最有運動力的中鋒帶了回來，Jordon上季WS和WARP排第十，PER和RPM第25名。

這就是為什麼河流球團再趕都要確保他留下來。



2014-15: 11.5 PPG, 15.0 RPG, 2.2 BPG, 1.0 SPG, 71.0 FG%

Advanced: 21.0 PER, Win Shares: 12.8, +4.46 RPM



No.28

Dirk Nowitzki

Mavs | Forward | Last year: 14

Things aren’t as dire for Dirk Nowitzki as they might have seemed when the
Rockets were attacking him for sport in the first round of the 2015 playoffs.
That matchup was rough on him and his team’s circumstances were even
rougher. Not only was Tyson Chandler in poor shape, but Dallas’s guards were
lost in the processes of defending the pick-and-roll to the point that
Nowitzki was isolated and exploited.

沒有事情比Dirk在2015年第一輪季後賽對到火箭還慘的。這個對戰組合就夠硬的，隊上的

狀況更是慘。不只是泰山的狀況不好，小牛的後衛在防守P&R的時候完全亂了套，導致Dirk

被孤立。

All of which isn’t meant to pardon Nowitzki entirely. This is the slowest he
’s ever been as a pro. Some settings will serve him better than others, but
even the best of circumstances won’t do much for his lumbering gait. The
last two seasons have been a concession of sorts for Nowitzki, who at 37
years old has ceded chief responsibility of Dallas’s offense. This is
healthy. His body just doesn’t take the shoving of post defense as well as
it used to, turning every back-down possession into more of an ordeal. Still
he gets his share—one doesn’t just put that gorgeous fadeaway jumper to bed
—albeit without the expectation of being a funnel for offense most every
trip down the floor. Instead, Nowitzki’s revised role strikes a compromise
between go-to scorer and irresistible decoy that makes perfect sense in
pacing out a long season. Defenders still trip over themselves in fear of
leaving Nowitzki open. They still lunge desperately to contest his jumper to
no avail. Dirk is still Dirk, and until his jumper stops falling, that means
enough to overwhelm even a glaring defensive shortfall. – R.M.

這一切不能完全成為Nowitzki的藉口。上季是他在成為球星後，行動最慢的時刻。雖然他

有些比他人好的優勢，但是即使是最好的情況也沒辦法解決他笨拙的問題。

前兩季對37歲放棄了小牛攻擊端的領導地位的Nowitzki來說是一大讓步。雖然他還健康

，但他的身體已經沒辦法把低位防守做得像以前那麼好，每次的背框都是一次的痛苦。

他還是作出貢獻，不只是後仰跳投，儘管已經不能期待他每次都串起攻擊。然而，調整過

定位的Norwitzki在得分手跟設圈套的工作中取得了新的平衡點，並且在球季中效果不錯。

防守者還是擔心放掉Nowitzki。Dirk 還是Dirk當他的跳投停止衰退，他還是有能力有貢獻

即使防守一直是他的洞。



2014-15: 17.3 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 1.9 APG, 45.9 FG%, 38.0 3P%

Advanced: 19.2 PER, Win Shares: 7.2, +0.62 RPM


心得：這兩個人，不小心擺在一起XD
