克爾特札記 050722

我的英文能力其實並不好。我能夠大量閱讀，是因為我的學業需求（例如一個禮拜K掉一百
頁的英文），但我的聽、說、寫都很差。這是為什麼我很少出現在國外 Celtics討論區的
原因。很多年前我曾嘗試過用很破爛的文法發表文章，結果被譏笑該重修美國小學程度英文
（笑，蠻受傷的）。前幾天我又試著用很爛的文法寫東西，呵呵，蠻開心的，這次被稱讚有
點內容（也就是人家看得懂啦）了。

所以我要很無恥地把這點破爛貼在這裡留作紀念：

In the first two years at Dallas, Nash got a lot of boos from the Mavericks fan
s. People has everything to complained of: too much dribble , bad shooting sele
ction, blind when in the lane, shot-fist-pass-second minded, poor defense, inju
ry prone...all that "the evil of PG" stuff.

People are singing the praises of Nash nowadays. Such as: great ballhandler (cf
. too much dribble), can creat his own shots (cf. bad shooting selection), outs
tanding shooter, high basketball IQ, an "experienced TEAM defenser"...etc.etc.

Nash is not a pure PG. However, once he had developed his character, he made hi
s team special. It takes time for a PG to develop him own game, to have HIS gam
e with his name imprint on it. (Nash: 4 years; Billups: 5 years; Avery Johnson:
 6 years) He has to OWN his game instead of adept in an system.

As for Banks, he has improved his jump shot the last season and is developing h
is pick-and-roll game recently.It's a good sign. P'N'R is important in NBA, esp
ecially when the offense flows into the continuity situation. And the very kind
s of on-ball-screen skills would advantage Banks. Banks has the speed to breakd
own the defense, to force the mismatch, to draw the help defenser, and if his t
eamate is keeing good spacing on the court, it'll be much easier for Banks to f
ind an open man. The court vision is not to idle around to find the opportunity
, but is "to keep sight of the opportunities you created on the court".

It's important for Banks to stay focus on some aspects (defense, jump shot, tra
nsition game, pick-and-roll game, game situation), to excuse them well, to use
his advantage, and to get the reward.

Arroyo got his minutes under Larry Brown. He didn't have much time to familiar
with the Pistons' system, but he had quickly found his role. He didn't have to
be Billups, or to be Larry Brown, all he had to do was to pass out the ball in
the set offense and to play pick-and-roll with McDyess in the continuity. I'm g
lad that Banks has got his PNR partner (Scalabrine) and truely wish that Banks
can stay in Boston one more year. He's gathering the elements of his game, his
rhythm, and his confidence. He'll be a tough player some day. Some people said
that Banks is only a backup PG stuff. Heck, not only do we lack for a solid PG
starter, but we don't have a durable backup either. Why don't we just give Bank
s another try and wait till mid-season?

The major problem with this team is not "lack a PG". Payton did a great job las
t season, but did we past the 1st-round playoff? "Lack of rebound, lack of low-
post presence" is our major problem, and the solution (Big Al and Perk) will be
 in the near-future. Since we decide to wait the maturity of Big Al, what is th
e difference between PG-A and PG-B now? (Okay. Maybe Jason Kidd will help us ge
t more rebounds.) It make sense if we trade Banks for a star, a top PG player,
such as Bibby, or a characteristic PG who will change our team culture. Other t
han that, I don't see we have the emergency to trade Banks for another PG.

Jason Williams? No, thanks. I can understand that for some spacing reason Doc n
eed a PG who can shoot those flare, pop-out or kick-out 3s. Banks is not a shoo
ter (neither is Payton). So? Jason Williams? A guy who shot the 3s like Walker
did? I'll see Ainge "go for yet another direction" next summer.

 好了，讓各位見笑完了。

回來談論交易問題。我認為有一件事情蠻重要的：Ainge 雖然還不善於做出漂亮的交易，
但從消極面來說，這兩年至少他學會了一件很重要的事情：沒有「好處」的交易就別作。自
從急著倒掉Walker結果換來 Raef的大約之後，你可以發現Ainge的交易越來越「搶劫」。不
管目的是什麼，反正一定有賺頭。一年前我還曾經嘲諷過這種作法是要蔥要蒜的菜籃族交易
模式，嘿！這幾天颱風過後，蔥很貴的耶（笑）！我跟Ainge在這方面的相性剛好是相反，若
是我，我會傾向為了某個目的（比如說清薪資，或確立球隊核心）而倡議一個較為不計代
價的交易。但Ainge從選秀到交易都有一個原則：也許目的性不強，但，一定要有好的bargai
n。

這是我比較安心他不會亂倒Banks與Pierce的主要原因。雖然一定會有人打電話來問這個問
那個，也的確Banks正在失寵的狀態中，不過，我們沒有急躁的交易，沒有仇恨的交易（比
如說對某個新人很失望就把他當作垃圾隨便倒掉），到目前為止，我們的暑假安靜到Celti
csblog.com都在抱怨無聊了（呵呵）。 Walker的價碼太高，我們也不急著把他簽約後交易
，反正市場會反應。Saras要價高，我們也不急著追價，反正市場會反應。不管Pierce與 B
anks的傳言如何，最後決定他們會不會被交易的，不是「波士頓有多愛他們或多恨他們」
，而是「這交易有沒有賺頭」。去年Banks因為差點被交易到湖人而很不爽，Ainge「安慰」
他的說法是「拿你去換Payton，你應該感到高興」。呃，我若是Banks大概也啞口無言。

Prices matters，其實我不討厭Ainge的這種取向，至少我可以不需要為他可能做出蠢交易
而提心吊膽。也許相較於其他球隊的大動作，我們顯得比較悶一些，不過，以目前的狀況
好像也沒什麼好急的。未來的球隊核心，Big Al還早，Green還早，不管我們未來想要吃什麼
樣的牛排，現在我們的牛都還在養。那麼，有什麼補強或交易動作是非得馬上進行不可的
呢？

從暑假動作的積極度來看，在東區之中，目前很有可能從樂透球隊殺上來闖進季後的球隊
，也許是騎士以及尼克。這只是也許而已，Larry Brown與尼克的婚姻不見得會被祝福，不消
說Larry Brown與Marbury不搭軋，基本上布朗爺本來就該休息一年的，不然的話以他的健
康狀況，根本沒辦法控制一支球隊。至於騎士，Ferry正在幫老闆用很快的速度花錢，制服組
展現了很高的效率，就算這組陣容有什麼問題，以這個制服組的能耐，季中調整應該不會
很困難，所以明年殺進季後賽應該不會有太大問題。但，對我們來說，這不是一個很嚴重的
問題。想想看騎士的狀況，Hughes是從巫師挖走的，Marshall是從暴龍挖走的，更早之前，
教練是從溜馬挖走的，現在他們也還在與溜馬搶Saras。換句話說，目前各隊此消彼長的狀況
並不至於涉及一個劇烈的東西區生態改變，我們只要繼續踏穩我們目前的季賽戰績，四十
五勝，就應該還是有機會咬著季後賽不放。

我們的目標不是爭冠，而是守成。兩年內不掉出季後賽，第三年以後就看我們的了。
