Can Boris Diaw Improve on Last Season?

When Boris Diaw was signed by theSpurs, I confess to thinking he would only
be injury insurance. Instead, he was one of the key players in the Spurs'
20-game winning streak that extended to the playoffs. The versatile French
forward resurrected his career in San Antonio, after some pretty bad years of
infuriating inconsistency.

當Diaw被馬刺簽下時，我承認我當時只把這個動作當成是保險而已。但事實證明不是如此
，他成為了馬刺的關鍵球員，還引領了一波20連勝延續到季後賽。這位來自法國的老將前
鋒經過幾年的掙扎後在馬刺隊復活了。

The question is, can Boris Diaw defy his career trend and keep up the good
play in his second season? Better yet, could he even improve?

但問題是，Diaw下季還可以打得這麼好嗎?甚至能夠更進步嗎?

The History
Boris came into the league as a prospective guard with the Atlanta Hawks,
where he failed to make a positive impression for two seasons. In 2004, he
was shipped off in theJoe Johnson trade to the Phoenix Suns, where he
instantly made an impact after Amare Stoudemire got injured. After that
amazing season, Diaw signed a hefty long-term deal and his production
slipped, as Amare reclaimed his spot and the offense had to change to reflect
that. He remained solid, but unimpressive, in a reduced role.

歷史:
Diaw剛進聯盟時是個老鷹隊的潛力後衛，但他前兩季都沒有令人印象深刻的表現。到了
2004年，在與Joe Johnson的交易中他來到了太陽隊，而他在Stoudermire受傷時發揮了作
用，這個球季過後，Diaw續簽了一筆肥約，但他的效率卻也下降了。Stoudermire恢復水
準後影響到了Diaw的發揮，他仍然穩定，但不那麼醒目，逐漸邊緣化。

During the 2008/09 season, Diaw was traded to the Bobcats where he regained
his offensive aggression, averaging a career high 12 shots per 36 minutes and
15 points, six boards and 5 assists in over 37 minutes per game. After that
season, Diaw turned into one of the most frustrating players in the league, a
permanently out-of-shape mess of inconsistency and sporadic brilliance. Over
the next 2 years, Diaw played less, shot worse and his passing and rebounding
slipped slightly as well. Still, that was enough for a Stephen Jackson
andGerald Wallace-led Cats to make the playoffs in 2010, only to be
unceremoniously swept by theMagic. Diaw had almost as many turnovers (12) as
assists (16) during the playoffs and was as unimpressive as the rest of his
teammates. To start the lockout-shortened 2011/12 season, Diaw showed up out
of shape, shot the ball poorly and clashed with coach Paul Silas. After there
were no takers for his contract, the Cats waived Diaw and he signed with the
Spurs.

08-09球季中，Diaw被交易到了山貓隊，他在這裡重拾進攻欲望，每36分鐘出手12次是生
涯最高，平均每場比賽上場超過37分鐘，得15分6籃板5助攻。這個球季過後Diaw成為了全
聯盟最沮喪的球員之一。接下來兩年，Diaw上場時間變少，投籃變糟，傳球和籃板能力也
些微的下滑。但這樣的表現還是足以與S-Jax和G蛙帶領山貓在2010年打進季後賽，儘管最
後被魔術隊橫掃了。該系列賽，Diaw的失誤(12次)幾乎和助攻數(16次)一樣多了，而且也
沒有什麼亮眼的表現。在縮水的11-12球季，Diaw胖了一圈回到聯盟，投籃不在水準上，
還和教練Paul Silas起衝突。於是山貓釋出了他，最後被馬刺簽下。

Diaw's Short Stint as a Spur
It didn't take Diaw long to show his value in San Antonio. After some good
showings, he got the nod as a starter, replacing DeJuan Blair.
On a limited sample size, the starting lineup with him was one of the Spurs'
best 5-man units, boasting an impressive 120 offensive rating in the regular
season and 117 in the playoffs, while on defense it allowed 101 and 85 points
per 100 possessions, respectively. He was relied upon to find the open man
when teams trapped Parker on the pick and roll and to defend faster power
forwards and he did it well, while also contributing with smart team defense
and some accurate, if often reluctant, shooting.

Diaw在馬刺:
Diaw並沒有花太多時間就證明了自己的價值，幾場好表現後他就取代Blair成為先發中鋒
了。
在有限的數據中我們可以觀察到，他是馬刺的最佳先發5人之一，這個組合例行賽平均每
100次進攻可以得120(117)分，而對手只能得101(85)分(括號中是季後賽)，當Parker玩擋
拆被守死時他可以跳出來做導傳，當球隊需要防守有速度的大前鋒時他也能勝任，更不用
說提供聰明的團隊防守以及被迫出手的投籃。

As for his individual performance, Diaw was good in spite of getting the
least amount of minutes per game since his Atlanta days. Per 36 minutes, his
assists numbers were around his career average while his scoring dropped, as
was to be expected in his new reduced role. There were, however, two
statistical anomalies that would seem very hard to replicate in a full
season: his 3-point shooting percentage (an impossible to maintain 61% on the
regular season and a similarly ridiculous 50% in the playoffs), and the best
rebounding effort of his career at 7.5 boards per 36 minutes with a defensive
rebound percentage of 17.3%.

儘管Diaw獲得的上場時間是自老鷹時期以來最少的，但他平均每36分鐘的數據除了得分以
外可都是在生涯平均附近的，這樣的表現已經是合乎預期了。然而有兩個數據有點怪異，
他的三分球命中率在例行賽高達不可思議的61.5%(8/13)，到了季後賽仍有50%(9/18)；另
一個就是他平均36分鐘有7.5個籃板，防守籃板率只有17.3%。

That surge in boards and stellar shooting percentage from 3, combined with
his above-average defense, made Diaw the kind of floor-spacing big the Spurs
needed, while his playmaking was a welcome addition to a starting lineup in
which only Parker thrived as a creator. His minutes climbed during the
playoffs, as did his scoring and rebounding, while his assists remained the
same. At 30, Diaw found a team that can afford to give him less
responsibility on offense and allow him to pick his spots.

優秀的籃板和三分球再加上水準之上的防守能力，Diaw是馬刺需要的空間大個子，他的組
織能力更是加分，因為Parker只是個創造投籃機會者。到了季後賽他的上場時間增加了，
得分和籃板也是，助攻則是持平。Diaw終於在30歲找到了一隻不用讓他扛太多進攻責任但
能發揮長處的球隊了。

Can Boris perform similarly next season?
The main differences between Boris' current situation and his disappointing
second seasons with the Suns and Bobcats are continuity and role. In Phoenix,
Diaw had to make room for a healthy Amare Stoudemire, which changed team
dynamics dramatically. With the Bobcats, Diaw was relied upon to score
prolifically and help organize a terrible offensive team, a role that didn't
play to his strengths. With the Spurs, Boris will have some continuity and
likely the same role as he had last season, which probably bodes well in
terms of what we can expect of him.

Diaw下季還能有如此表現嗎?
Diaw過去和現在最大的不同是連續性還有角色。在太陽時，Diaw需要讓出空間讓健康的大
史帶領球隊展現活力；在山貓時，Diaw又得扛起得分重任以及幫忙組織這隻進攻糟到不行
的球隊，這發揮不了他的長處。在馬刺，他應該還是會扮演和上季一樣的腳色，以我們對
他的期待來說這是個好兆頭。

The other challenge the multi-talented Diaw has faced his entire career is
staying focused, disciplined and interested throughout an 82 game season;
that, more than anything, will be the key. Last season his motivation was
high, since he was joining a contender. The Olympics were also right around
the corner and he needed to play himself into shape before the Games. His
contract was expiring. He was joining his good friend Tony Parker. As you
see, a lot of factors combined to make the Spurs a great place for Diaw to be
in 2012. Will he be as committed when training camp rolls around this season?
Rebounding, for example, is mostly about effort and focus. Leonard and Duncan
are amazing defensive rebounders, but Diaw will probably have to pull down
anywhere between 16% and 18% of available defensive boards for the Spurs to
be elite in that category once again, which is critical considering the
problems the Spurs display on defense.

多才多藝的Diaw生涯面臨的另一個挑戰是持續專注、有紀律地打好整個球季，這或許是關
鍵中的關鍵。上季他加入了一支勁旅，因此他會很有動力；而且他還為了奧運改變了身材
，並能跟好朋友Parker並肩作戰。如你所見，2012對Diaw來說有很多誘因讓他表現積極，
他這季也會如此嗎? 籃板會是他最需要努力的，Leonard和Duncan都有很好的防守籃板能
力，但Diaw 17%左右的防守籃板率可能會拖累馬刺隊的這個強項，這會嚴重影響了馬刺的
防守。

The Frenchman is an amazing fit in the starting lineup next to Duncan and
Parker for aforementioned reasons but the Spurs will be even deeper than last
season and, after failing to adapt and find lineups that worked against OKC
in the playoffs, it wouldn't be surprising to see Diaw paired with Splitter
or be featured at center in micro-ball lineups. Can Boris adjust? His
versatility would suggest so, but like every player, he will probably do
better in a defined role.

這個法國人加進了Duncan和Parker等人的先發陣容，基於上述原因馬刺真是如魚得水，但
馬刺還必須要有更深層面的進步，上季季後賽就是找不到合適的陣容來對抗雷霆，如果我
們未來看到Diaw和Splitter搭配上場或是擔任小球戰術的中鋒也不用覺得意外。Diaw調整
得過來嗎?我相信他的全面性一定做得到，但就像所有的球員一樣，他一定可以更好。

His 3-point shooting accuracy will likely decrease, but considering he is a
career 35% shooter (if we don't count the Atlanta years where he was miscast
as a guard), it shouldn't become so bad as to be a liability. It is likely,
though, that teams will initially ignore him and cheat off him to help on
P&Rs, which will hurt the spacing. To avoid that, Boris will have to take and
make wide open shots. Once the other team starts to see him sink those, he
could use the more aggressive close outs that will surely follow to get to
the paint and use his passing ability. Limiting turnovers will also be key.
In the regular season, Diaw had the worst turnover percentage of his career,
but he managed to get it down in the playoffs. A full year with his teammates
could help understand them and limit the bad passes, as long as he doesn't
get overconfident in his ability as a distributor.

他上季那高的誇張的三分球命中率勢必會下修，但他生涯也是有35%的命中率(未包括老鷹
時期)，所以應該仍是個可以依賴的武器。馬刺發動擋拆戰術時可能不會用到Diaw，因此
Diaw得具備空檔投籃的能力以防破壞空間性。當對手留意到他能投籃時，他也能更侵略地
切入禁區並發揮他的導傳能力。控制失誤也是個關鍵，上季例行賽Diaw繳出了生涯最高的
失誤率，季後賽是有比較控制住了。經過一年和隊友的相處，能夠讓他們更有默契，並可
以降低傳球的失誤，只要他別對自己的分球能力太過自信就好。

It does seem like the "good Boris" the Spurs got late last season was not
just a mirage; Diaw can really play and his style fits the Spurs like a
glove, as long as he's committed to rebounding the ball. Any worries are more
related to non-basketball stuff like his conditioning, his motivation and how
he's utilized. Considering he'll return to a team that kept most of its
pieces and in a role that fits him, and as a veteran that has seen where a
lack of commitment gets you, I expect Diaw to at least maintain his more than
adequate overall production from last season.

乍看之下Diaw上季在馬刺的好表現不是海市蜃樓，Diaw是真的能夠正常發揮，而且他的風
格對於馬刺來說就像一雙合手的手套(只要他能更保護籃板的話)。我們需要擔心他的反而
跟籃球比較沒有關係，像是他的狀況、他的動力以及怎麼用他。Diaw在這裡適得其所，我
期待他可以表現得比上季更好。
