How Do You Solve a Problem Like Mahinmi?

上一篇談到的是一個充滿愛心的中鋒，這一篇則是要講一個沒有愛的中鋒..
How Do You Solve a Problem Like Mahinmi?
如何解決Mahinmi的問題?
As a bench player in basketball, you’re told the best way to earn playing
time is to play hard in practice and make the most of the minutes you’re
given during the game. If this is the mantra that Coach Popovich subscribes
to, on Sunday night Ian Mahinmi earned himself some more minutes, somewhere
down the road.
作為一個籃球板凳球員，你所能爭取上場時間的最好辦法就是練球時認真點，並儘可能
利用你在比賽中所得到的上場時間。假使這就是方丈Popovich認可的真言，在星期天那
晚Ian Mahinmi為他自己的將來掙得了更多的上場時間。
As Tim discussed in his recap of the Spurs win over the New Jersey Nets,
Mahinmi, in his first game action in two years, scored 15 points and grabbed
nine rebounds in 21 minutes of play. He also chipped in a block and an
assist. He was the talk of the game, and for good season.
正如Duncan談到他在贏籃網的比賽表現一樣，兩年來個人第一次的比賽中Mahinmi在21分
鐘上場時間裡得了15分，9籃板。他也贊助了1火鍋1助攻。他是這場比賽的話題人物，而
這季他似乎有機會了。
He showed some small flashes of a talented big man throughout the game. Most
people will point out the series where he blocked a shot from Courtney Lee on
the defensive end and finished the break on the other end with a dunk, but my
eyes went to a couple other plays. Both came in the fourth quarter, when the
Spurs had built a double-digit lead.
在這場比賽中他處處展露出作為一名禁區球員的天份。許多人會點出這場比賽中他在防
守端蓋掉Courtney Lee的投籃，然後在場上另外一端用灌籃結束這波快攻的表現，但我
卻把注意力放到另外兩個play上。當馬刺達到雙位數領先的第四節的兩個play。
On one, the Nets went to a zone defense and the Spurs rotated the ball around
trying to find a soft spot. Mahinmi was able to flash into the middle of the
lane and seal off the weak-side guard. He received the entry pass deep in the
lane and with that position, it is nearly impossible to stop a big man as
athletic as Ian and he finished with a dunk. That knowledge of where to be in
spacing is something that a lot of young bigs struggle with, especially when
a team switches to a zone defense.
其中一個play，在籃網採區域聯防而馬刺試著用傳球伺機突破。Mahinmi能閃進人群巷中
並封鎖住弱邊的防守者。他獲得了可深入傳球的路徑及其位置優勢，此處幾乎不可能阻擋
像Mahinmi一般的勁爆長人，而他完成了這個灌籃。這種知道該站哪裡的知能是很多年輕
長人們所欠缺的，尤其是當對方轉為區域聯防時更為難能可貴。
The second play that caught my eye was also in the fourth quarter, when
Mahinmi was able to get some space along the baseline after a teammate drove
to the basket. He received a kick-out about 12 feet from the basket and
drained the jumpshot. It was an extremely slow release, but he showed good
form on his shot nonetheless. The jumper from the short corner put a nice cap
on Mahinmi’s 6-for-6 night from the field and 3-for-4 from the free throw
line.
另外一個吸引我目光的play也是在第四節，當隊友切進籃下之後，Mahinmi沿著底線取得
一些空間。他從距籃下12呎處獲得一個出界球並把它用在跳投上。投籃動作相當慢，但
他仍然展現出射手的架勢(簡單來說就像是木幕的三分球)。在場上6投6中，罰球4投3中的
這晚，從角落投出的這一球讓他刻下一個美好的註解。
It wasn’t a perfect night, though. Mahinmi showed nothing resembling a
back-to-the-basket game and defensively, he looked a half-step slow in the
first half, but that’s something you can expect from a young player who hasn
’t logged NBA minutes in two years. That split-second delay in timing led to
a several baskets in the lane for the Nets and a couple of foul calls, that a
player like Tim Duncan or Antonio McDyess would not pick up.
儘管這不是一個完美的夜晚。Mahinmi看起來完全不像沒上過場且沒防守的人，他上半場
看似慢半拍，但這是從這兩年來尚未在NBA上過場的年輕球員身上你所能預見的結果。瞬
間的時間延誤導致籃網隊有機可乘，且招致兩個犯規，這對Duncan或McDyess來說不會犯
的錯誤。
Though other fouls he committed seemed like the referees were just picking on
him, including an illegal screen he was called for in the final period.
Mahinmi received his fifth foul early in the fourth quarter, but to his
credit, he avoided picking up a sixth foul and played the entire fourth
quarter.
即使他另外的犯規看似裁判找他麻煩，包括最後階段的一次非法掩護。Mahinmi在第四節
初得到了他第五次犯規，但值得讚揚他的是他避免掉第六犯並且打滿整個第四節。
Mahinmi’s timing improved as the game wore on, and he did a solid job
guarding Brook Lopez, one of the Eastern Conference’s better big men. He
battled with Lopez in the post and did well to deny Lopez entry passes
throughout, though he picked up a couple fouls for his aggressiveness.
Mahinmi的時間掌握隨著上場時間的進行而改進，而他守Brook Lopez守的不錯，後者是
東區的優秀長人之一。他在崗位上與Lopez戰鬥著，而且自始自終都不讓Lopez有可乘之
機，縱使因他的侵略性得到兩個犯規也在所不惜。
One thing I noticed when watching Mahinmi on defense, is that he doesn’t
show on pick-and-rolls. When his man sets a screen on the Spur guarding the
ball, instead of helping to slow down the player with the ball and allow his
teammate to get back in the play, he hangs back and let’s the ball handler
come off of the screen free. I don’t know if that’s by design or defensive
mistake that he is repeatedly making, but it’s different than how other Spur
bigs defend the play. The same quarter McDyess was showing on screens, so it’
s something to keep an eye on when Mahinmi plays again.
我在看Mahinmi的防守時注意到一件事，就是他在pick&rolls上沒有表現好。當在馬刺防
守他守的人要作掩護時，沒幫到忙讓對方控球員減速而且還讓他的隊友回頭再一次，他畏
畏縮縮且讓對方控球員得到掩護後自由自在逛大街。我不知道他這一而再、再而三發生的
缺失是否是設計好的或是防守錯誤，但這點有別於其他馬刺大咖們的防守表現。在同一節
McDyess在掩護上所展現的，是Mahinmi下次要注意的地方。
Speaking of Mahinmi playing, when is that supposed to happen again?
何時才能再看到Mahinmi的表現呢?
Honestly, it’s hard to say. No one was expecting Mahinmi to be active on
Sunday night, and the Spurs were playing the Nets, owners of the NBA’s worst
record. Tonight, they play the Los Angeles Lakers, the team boasting the NBA’
s best record. Coach Popovich very well could’ve activated and played
Mahinmi against the Nets to give some relief to his normal frontcourt
rotation; Tim Duncan didn’t play at all in the fourth quarter against the
Nets.
坦白講，很可怕，不能說。沒人期待他會再次展現星期天晚上的活躍表現，而且馬刺是
跟NBA中戰績最差的籃網比賽。今晚將對上NBA戰績最佳的湖人。方丈Popovich說:免肖想!
Duncan對戰籃網的第四節根本都沒上場呢!
Going along with that line of thinking, it’s hard to predict when or if
Mahinmi were to play again. The Spurs don’t have a two consecutive games
with such a drastic shift in record the rest of the season, obviously. What
may be the more likely scenario is playing Mahinmi on the first or second
night of a back-to-back, against a weaker team. San Antonio plays the
Charlotte Bobcats on Friday and the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday, so there’
s a possibility we could see more Mahinmi this weekend.
由此思考，很難預料何時或是否Mahinmi能再次上場。馬刺此季明顯沒遇上需跋涉千里
的背靠背比賽。如果有這類比賽的話Mahinmi就有機會在其中對上較弱的一隊中上場救
援。馬刺星期五打山貓而星期六打灰熊，因此這週末我們有機會看到Mahinmi上場。
But what are the Spurs doing with Mahinmi? Are they bringing him along
slowly, playing him against weaker teams in order to develop him and build
his confidence? With the Spurs passing on picking up Mahinmi’s option year
back in October, I think that ship has sailed. I’d speculate that the Spurs
don’t think Mahinmi is their type of player and they are playing him now to
showcase him as trade bait.
但馬刺怎麼處置Mahinmi呢? 為了讓他成長讓他去打弱隊並建立他的信心? 隨著馬刺在十
月不執行Mahinmi的選擇權，我想應該是say-goodbye時候了。我推測馬刺不認為Mahinmi
是他們中意的類型，而他們現在只是要展示Mahinmi的能力以作為交易籌碼。
The NBA’s trade deadline is less than five weeks away and if the Spurs hope
to get anything in return for Mahinmi, instead of simply letting him walk
this summer, they’ve got to prove to other teams that he’s worth taking a
risk and trading for. That gives the Spurs a only handful of games left
before the deadline to show him off. And if he plays in those games like he
did on Sunday night, the Spurs might just get some value in return.
NBA的交易期限剩不到五個星期，而如果馬刺想從Mahinmi的交易中得到任何回饋的話，
別讓他在夏季時溜走，他們已經向其他隊證明了他有值得冒險交易的價值。在期限截止
前放掉幾場比賽來向各隊展現他的價值。而若是他這幾場比賽打得跟星期天那場一樣好
的話，馬刺也沒差，就是賺到罷了。
