最後的烏龍球......



No.44

Andre Iguodala

Warriors | Forward | Last year: 29

Iguodala goes to work defensively long before his man ever touches the ball.
No one in the NBA does denial better. It takes a precise blend of smarts and
athleticism to consistently prevent passes without getting burned—a
specialty which Iguodala has come to master. Should his mark actually scrap
their way into receiving a pass, they do so out of position, later in the
shot clock, and out of sync with the play that was supposed to be in
progress. They are then faced with the lost cause of attacking Iguodala, who
stands a sinewy 6’6” with a 6’11” wingspan, while squared and set.
Unsurprisingly, many choose to defer back to their teammates.

即使他防守的對象還沒有持球，小AI就開始全力防守了。聯盟沒有人阻絕能做得更好，綜

合他的聰明和體能讓他可以在不自殺的情況下封住傳球路線，這就是他與眾不同的絕技。

對手為了能接到球，變得要跑離開位置、花更多時間、並無法執行好應該要跑的戰術。

面對這個6'6高有著6'11臂展的小AI，對手失去了攻擊的方法，並只能不意外地交給其他

隊友。


It was that capacity to make every little thing difficult on his opponent
that earned Iguodala the 2015 NBA Finals MVP. Rarely do the top awards for
all-around players go to defensive specialists. Yet what Iguodala did in
defending LeBron James was so remarkable that it drew the majority of the
media vote. His triumph in a matchup with the best player in the game made
for a great story and a point of leverage in the series. The fate of the
title was decided by Iguodala doing what none of his teammates—including
Defensive Player of the Year candidate Draymond Green—could do.

對對位的的球員做盡防守的他，因此贏得了2015年FMVP。這個獎項很少會頒給防守專家，

然而他防守LBJ的表現實在是太出色，導致他拿到了最多票。他的榮耀傳為佳談，也是

這系列賽的優勢。小AI能得到FMVP的原因，不外乎他能做到其他的隊友，包含DPOY的競爭

者追夢綠不能做到的事。


Of course, Iguodala’s Finals MVP candidacy also hinged on a surprising
outburst of scoring. Iguodala’s two highest-scoring games all season came in
the Finals: a 22-point effort in Game 4 and a 25-point outing to clinch in
Game 6. These were aberrations. Iguodala is a capable scorer but so deeply
reluctant that it often works against him. Out of 98 total games between the
regular season and postseason, Iguodala scored in single digits on 73
occasions. The league is wise to Iguodala’s ways and defends him
accordingly. As nice as his ball skills may be, the presence of a player who
doesn’t project as a threat to score can be deeply damaging. Golden State
compensated for that obstruction, but a less loaded team with a less fluid
system might clog instead. – R.M.


當然，小AI的FMVP還歸功於令人驚奇的爆發式的得分，他整季最高得分的兩場比賽竟然是

在總決賽:第四場的22分貢獻和第六場26分的表現，這些只是特例。小AI是一個好的得分

手卻不願意得分的人。在季賽和季後賽98場比賽中，有73場他得分只有個位數。然而聯盟

的決定是很明智的，也為他辯護。雖然有著好的球技，但不能成為威脅的他會傷害球隊

。雖然勇士解決的這個問題，但在其他流轉不良的球隊中可能就是大問題。

No.43

Joakim Noah

Bulls | Center | Last year: 17

Noah’s offensive game—suspect from midrange and shaky around the rim—has
long flirted with a free fall. In the 2014–15 season it came to pass;
lasting injury slowed Noah just enough that he became nearly unplayable.
Opponents of any kind could leave him without penalty. In a playoff series,
that kind of helplessness can be completely devastating. Every botched layup
and bashful jumper served as Chicago’s death knell, as the Bulls scored just
99.6 points per 100 possessions with Noah on the floor in the postseason.

Noah的攻擊，包含中距離和禁區的威脅突然大幅度衰弱。在2014年出現了這樣的情況，

他的受傷讓他慢了下來，甚至到不大能打的情況。對手可以輕易放他。季後賽時，

這樣的無助更為明顯。搞砸的上籃和差勁的跳投替公牛敲起了喪鐘。在Noah上場的時候

，季後賽每一百次攻擊只能得到99.6分。


Sharp passing from the perimeter won’t be enough. Noah will have to be
healthier next season if he’s to warrant this kind of ranking. Based on the
time in recovery and Noah’s own insistence, we expect that to be the case. A
more mobile Noah will play closer to his defensive potential and have fuller
use of his offensive faculties. That in itself is the difference between a
top-40 player and one of more menial standing, which are bounds Noah must
come to terms with. Noah’s industrious style of play doesn’t leave any room
for persistent, hampering injury.

犀利的長程傳球是不夠的。Noah下季需要更健康才值得這個排名。根據復原的時間和

Noah的堅持，我們相信他會做到的。能靈活移動的Noah能打出他防守的潛力，和善用他

攻擊的武器。這就是影響Noah前四十名跟掉到後面的差別。他的勤奮不會讓他一直因傷

缺陣的。

The All-NBA-caliber defense of a healthy Noah speaks for itself. What’s more
ambiguous is the appraisal of having having one of the team’s best players
push as hard as Noah does. Work ethic can offer an emotional leadership all
its own—a sort that only enriches the messages that Noah might have for his
teammates over the course of a game or a season. When he speaks (or, more
often, screams), they listen. That’s as true because of how Noah plays as
who he is, making the all-out nature of his game all the more vital to his
career prospects. – R.M.


健康時，Noah的NBA第一隊等級防守本身自然不需要我們多說。但是全隊最佳球員之一打得

像他這麼拼命，其所帶起的效應就比較難以估算。單看他敬業樂業的工作態度也足以讓其

他球員服氣聽取他的意見。Noah說話，公牛球員聽話。也因此，他更加要依靠全力以赴的

打法來維繫自己在球場上的價值。


感謝wohtp幫助~

心得： 其實我還蠻喜歡小AI的，我一直覺得防守才能帶給球隊最終的勝利。
