Celtics Fill Needs by Drafting Smart, Young

NEW YORK – It’s no secret that the Celtics, who ranked 26th in the league
in scoring and 28th in the league in field goal percentage, struggled to put
the ball through the basket last season.
我們上一個賽季那慘不忍賭的命中率(28)和場均得分(26)已經是不能說的秘密
老實講我個人覺得球隊連將球投進籃框這件事都變得無比的艱難...
They’re betting that their two first-round draft picks, Marcus Smart and
James Young, will help to change that.
我們將今年的兩個首輪選秀權梭哈,拿回M.Smart和J.Young這兩名球員
The Celtics used their highest draft pick since 2007, sixth overall, to
select Smart in the 2014 NBA Draft on Thursday night. Smart starred at
Oklahoma State for two years and averaged 18.0 points per game as a sophomore
last season.
第6順位是我們自2007年以來的最高順位(07,J.Green#5),我們選了M.Smart,
奧克拉荷馬州大大二生(20歲),去年場均18.0分、5.9籃板、4.8助攻、2.9抄截
Offense continued to flow into Boston 11 picks later when the team snagged
Young with the 17th overall selection. Young nearly led the national
runner-up Kentucky Wildcats in scoring last season with an average of 14.3
PPG, and he did lead them in scoring in the title game by dropping in 20
points against UConn.
接者又在第17順位挑中在C's內部選秀名單中排名11的J.Young,
Young上賽季場均14.3分、4.3籃板,上賽季率領肯塔基州大成功打進決賽,儘管最後
仍然敗給了UConn屈居亞軍,但他仍舊在決賽中繳出全隊最高的20分7籃板。
While it’s clear that both Smart and Young are scorers, they vary greatly in
how they put their points in the board.
很明顯選進這兩位都是得分好手,但他們在進攻上卻有著不同的風格
Smart can be summed up in one word: aggressive. He has an innate ability to
get to the basket and he uses that skill to his advantage.
M.Smart的球風非常具有侵略性,他在籃框附近有種與生俱來的能力,靠著體型和速度能夠
造成對手很大的威脅。
There were only 27 players in the country who attempted more free throws last
season than Smart, who earned 250 attempts from the charity stripe. Had he
not missed three games, it’s conceivable that he would have been in the top
10 in the nation in that category.
上個賽季Smart共獲得250次罰球機會,全美排名28位
但要是沒有那三場禁賽的話,他單罰球數大概預計排到前十
Do you know where the Celtics ranked last season in free throw attempts per
game? Twenty-seventh in the league, with 20.8 attempts a night. Smart
averaged 8.1 attempts per game all by himself last season at Oklahoma State.
It’s unreasonable to expect Smart to duplicate that number as a rookie in
the NBA, but he will get to the line. It’s what he does, and that skill will
be a tremendous addition to this Celtics squad.
Getting to the rack is Smart’s strength but it’s not all he can do. He’s
also a developing shooter who the Celtics believe is trending up in that
department.
你知道C's上一季平均每晚站上罰球線的次數才20.8次,聯盟排名倒數第四(#27)嗎?
而Smart每場大概能夠站上罰球線上8.1次,他那犀利的切入是他的優勢。除此以外,
Smart也正在積極練習他那令外界有疑慮的外線
“He’ll get good range on his shot,” Brad Stevens said Thursday night. “He
’s got good arc on his shot. He’s got pretty good mechanics. He’s worked
hard on it.”
Boston witnessed the fruits of that labor first-hand this week, when Smart
returned to the team’s practice facility for a second workout.
“In our last workout that we had with him, he reeled off about four or five
in a row in live competition from 3 with the games on the line,” Stevens
said. “So shooting is something I think he’ll improve and get better at.”
球隊主帥Brad Stevens在看過他的練習後也對他的外線背書:他的命中率很不錯,
投球姿勢、球出手的弧度也不錯,看得出來他很這上面做了很大的努力。
Brad Stevens說:我們最後一次訓練對抗中,他能夠連續飆進4~5球三分,我想在投籃
這個環節他已經改進不少,也比以前進步了許多。
That being said, Smart makes his living in the paint and the C’s can expect
him to contribute to their free throw numbers next season. Young? He’s a
slightly different story.
儘管如此,C's在下個賽季還是比較期待Smart能夠依靠切入多站上罰球線幾次。
至於Young?請期待下回分曉
The swingman out of Kentucky is known much more for his perimeter shot.
Synergy Sports rates him as a very good jump shooter and a good 3-point
shooter. He’s poised to improve in those areas while continuing to showcase
his scorer’s mentality.
“James’ M.O. is he’s always been a scorer,” Stevens told media members at
TD Garden. “He’s a guy that shot it at 35 percent from 3 but 47 percent
from 2. He’s got a shot that can shoot it deeper. He’s got a stroke that’s
just going to get better and better.”
In the meantime, Young's shot is still pretty darn good, and he knows it. He’
s extremely confident in his scoring abilities and made that clear when he
told Celtics.com what he’ll bring to the team.
“Really a lot of scoring,” he said without hesitation. “Just getting to
the basket, hitting open shots and creating for other teammates.”
Any team would love to add those traits. Boston’s offense struggled last
season because it was largely missing them.
這名來自肯塔基的搖擺人在大學時期就是以投籃聞名,尤其擅長跳投和外線出手得分,
現在他即將在更高一個層級證明他得分的能力。
B.Stevens在球場邊忍不住向媒體說:James就是個得分手,他會是個有著35%3pt、
47.5pt的射手。儘管還是有一點瑕疵,但我相信他未來會越來越好的。
即便是現階段,Young的投籃也是挺不錯的,B.Stevens也對Young的得分能力有信心
他認為Young能夠得很多分、能夠幫助場上其他隊友拉開空間、並且創造其他機會
任何球隊都愛尋找他們這兩種類型的球員,而C's上個賽季的貧攻就是因為遍尋不著
這兩種類型的球員,球隊在進攻上才會顯得如此的掙扎。
Last season, the Celtics lacked consistent perimeter shooting. They lacked a
guy who could consistently get to the charity stripe.
On Thursday night, they found both.
上個賽季,C's一直缺乏一個穩定的外線射手和一個能夠靠攻擊站上罰球線的球員
但就在上個星期四,他們已經找到了
隨手翻了一下,有謬誤請指證
我也希望我們找到了球隊的Key Man!!!
