溜馬能擋住LBJ嗎

INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana Pacers coach Nate McMillan might face a classic
choice many have confronted over the past decade: Do you double-team LeBron
James?

溜馬教頭 Nate McMillan 面對一個經典難題: 要不要派兩人包夾LBJ ?

The Pacers' game plan through the first five games has been to play James
within their standard defensive system. They have altered pick-and-roll
schemes at times but generally have played James straight up, relying on
conventional help defense to try to make things tough while also taking care
of his teammates.

溜馬前五戰都在使用他們平常習慣的防守陣型。有時候會變化一下擋拆戰術，但面對LBJ
時靠的是一般的協防，好兼顧到其他騎士隊員

The series has stayed close, but James has tortured Indiana yet again. He's
averaging 35 points, 11.4 rebounds and 8 assists while also shooting 55
percent.
In Game 5, he crushed the Pacers' interior defense for 12 baskets within 5
feet of the rim on his way to 44 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers took a 3-2
series lead.

這系列賽的差距很小，但LBJ一次次的打爆溜馬。他平均拿下35分11.4板8助攻，命中率高
達55%
第五戰他又爆了溜馬的內線，拿下44分12板，系列賽3-2領先

Indiana has double-teamed James on only 16 plays in the first five games,
according to ESPN Stats & Information tracking, which is less than 4 percent
of the 449 plays in which he has been involved on offense. The Pacers brought
only one double-team in Game 5 and it was in the first quarter.

溜馬前五場449次play中只包夾過LBJ 16次，比率不到4%
第五戰的上半場甚至只包夾過一次

McMillan clearly doesn't favor using an extra defender to force the ball out
of James' hands because it leaves others open. When the double has happened,
though, James and the Cavs have struggled, mostly because the Cleveland
roster has been in a collective slump throughout the series, shooting just 38
percent overall and 32 percent from 3-point range.

McMillan教頭顯然不喜歡加派防守者去迫使LBJ傳球，讓其他人拿到空檔
騎士隊這系列打得很掙扎，主要是因為他們集體烙賽，命中率38%，三分球只有32%

The sample sizes are limited, but over the past four games the Cavs are
1-of-10 shooting with a turnover in the possessions when James has seen a
double-team. The data at least makes a strategy adjustment worth considering.

過去四場比賽中，當LBJ被包夾時，騎士有1/10比率會失誤。儘管數據有限，但還是可以
作為調整戰術的參考。

"They've changed their lineup and put 3-point shooters around him," McMillan
said. "Basically what they're saying is if you help, we're going to shoot the
3-ball. Which is what they want to do anyway. If you don't help, he's going
to drive the ball to the basket."

McMillan 說: 騎士隊改變陣容，把三分射手放上場。它們基本上在說: 能投三分的人就
來投三分，不能投三分就讓LBJ就殺到籃下"

It's a poison-picking scenario, which is commonplace with high-level stars in
all levels of the game.

這是艱難的二選一

Interestingly, the Cavs have used a trapping defense on Pacers star Victor
Oladipo, most aggressively in Games 3 and 4. Oladipo has slumped the past
three games, shooting a combined 12-of-49.

有趣的是，騎士隊給溜馬的當家歐拉設了圈套，特別是第三第四戰。歐拉過去三戰打得糟
糕透頂，49投只有12中

While he wasn't willing to give away game-plan adjustments before Game 6, at
the very least McMillan said his team has to limit James' space. He says he
believes his defenders have been allowing James to create angles to get
momentum to the basket and then been sluggish in helping one another. As a
result, James has had room to maneuver.

McMillan不肯在第六戰前透露戰術調整的計畫，他至少表明溜馬必須限制住LBJ。他相信
溜馬球員沒有勤奮的協防，給LBJ太多機會殺到籃下

If nothing else, expect the Pacers' defenders to hang into the paint area a
bit more in Game 6.

他期待溜馬在第六戰至少能把油漆區守得更緊

"We didn't do a good job of trying to keep him in front," McMillan said. "We
held the perimeter and were too concerned about 3-point shooters and allowed
him to play in the paint most of [Game 5]. That is not what we want to do, to
give him room to operate and go to his second and third moves in the paint.
We can do a better job."

"我們沒有努力把LBJ扛出去。我們太在乎三分射手，結果讓LBJ在籃下肆虐。我們不希望
LBJ繼續在籃下拿到很多次機會，我們可以做得更好"


When Pacers Double-Team LeBron James

溜馬包夾LBJ時的數據

Plays 16
Points per play 0.69
Field goals 4-14
3-pt field goals 1-10

Over the years, the results have been mixed when trying the double-team with
James in the playoffs. In the 2015 Finals, for example, the Warriors started
throwing double-teams in Game 4 after James averaged 41 points over the first
three games. James scored only 20 points as the Warriors withstood 28 points
from his safety valve, Timofey Mozgov, and Golden State won easily to change
the momentum of the series.

過去幾年來嘗試包夾LBJ的結果是說不準的。像是2015總冠軍賽，勇士隊第四戰開始包夾
LBJ，讓他只拿20分，而Mozgov卻拿到28分。最後以勇士獲勝收尾。

In 2007, James had a 48-point Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals when he
got 33 shots attacking mostly single coverage. The Detroit Pistons swarmed
him to force the ball out of his hands in Game 6 and he got only 11 shots.
But Daniel Gibson hit a flurry of 3-pointers and scored 31 points and the
Cavs won the series.

2007年東冠第五戰，LBJ在幾乎沒被包夾的情況下33投拿到48分。第六戰活塞開始瘋狂包
夾LBJ，讓他只有11次投籃機會，可是Daniel Gibson卻在三分線外砍進31分，最終騎士獲
勝

There are many other examples, and the success rates aren't great. James has
been phenomenal in closeout games, having won 11 in a row. He's familiar with
what happens when an opponent is desperate.

還有很多別的例子，但成功率沒有很高。LBJ很擅長關門戰，他知道對手會背水一戰

The Pacers are projecting that they're not desperate, but the time has come
to explore all options when dealing with their franchise nemesis.

溜馬並未絕望。但它們會尋求一切可能性來對付LBJ

"The series ain't over," Oladipo said after Game 5. "You got to win four
games for the series to be over, right? So we got a chance to win. ... We're
looking forward to that opportunity."

歐拉說: 系列賽還沒結束，我們還有機會
