Don't blame Westbrook for Game 2 loss



After the Oklahoma City Thunder’s loss to the Miami Heat in Game 2, many
people are placing the blame on Russell Westbrook.

在輸掉對戰熱火的第二戰之後，很多人都把錯怪在西河身上。

Westbrook took the most shots of anyone in the game, going 10-of-26 from the
field and scoring 27 points. In some cases, the main thought seems to be that
Kevin Durant, who went 12-for-22 from the field and finished with 32 points,
should have gotten some of the opportunities that Westbrook “took away.”

西河在這場比賽裡投了最多的球，卻只有26-10的命中，貢獻27分。在某些角度來看，22
投12中的雷帝應該要拿到更多一些被西河奪走的進攻機會。

In fact, the refrain that “he takes away too many shots from Durant” has
been a commonly heard criticism of Westbrook all season. The problem with
this attack is that the numbers show that the Thunder haven’t actually done
better in games where Durant has had more opportunities than Westbrook this
season.

事實上，「西河奪走太多雷帝的進攻權了」這樣的批評已經跟著西河一整季。問題是，當
雷帝拿到更多進攻權時，雷霆並沒有表現得比較好。

When looking at it the simple way, it’s apparent that the team actually does
better when Westbrook takes more shots. This is in terms of both offensive
efficiency and win percentage.

用這角度來看，當西河投了較多的球時，他們的團隊明顯地表現的比較好。這同時顯示在
進攻率和勝率上。

Of course, field-goal attempts are just one part of a player’s offensive
game –free throws and turnovers are also part of it. If we look at usage
percentage – the percentage of team plays used by a player while he’s on
the floor – we can see how often the ball ends with Westbrook or Durant,
whether it be with a field-goal attempt, trip to the free-throw line, or
turnover.

當然，投籃命中率只是球員進攻中的一部份。罰球和失誤也是其中的一部份。如果我們看
看使用率－－一個球隊如何使用在場上的球員的使用率－－我們可以發現球有多頻繁地在
西河或雷帝手上被打掉，不管是用投籃、罰球或是失誤。

For some perspective, the average usage percentage is 20.0 percent, Durant’s
average this season is 30.3 percent, and Westbrook’s average is 31.7 percent
(5th-highest in NBA).

整個球隊的平均使用率是20%，雷帝的平均使用率是30.3％，西河的平均使用率是31.7%。
（NBA中排名第五）

Looking at which player has had a higher usage percentage in each game, we
can see a similar pattern emerges: The Thunder are more efficient offensively
and win more games when Westbrook’s usage percentage exceeds Durant’s than
vice versa.

看看在每一場比賽中每一個有較高使用率的球員，我們可以發現一個相似的模式：雷霆在
西河的使用率高於雷帝時，他們的進攻效率是比較高的。反之亦然。

Another thing we can look at is how the Thunder have performed when Westbrook
and Durant use a lower/greater percentage of their team’s plays than usual.

我們也可以看看當兩人的使用比率高或低時團隊的表現如何。

Looking at the four combinations of each player's usage percentage relative
to his own average:

看看四種球員使用率的組合：

‧ The Thunder offense is at its worst when Durant has an above average usage
percentage and Westbrook has a below average usage percentage – averaging
just 104.0 points per 100 possessions in those 20 games, with the team
winning less than half of those as a result.

‧ 當雷帝的使用率高於平均值而西河低於平均值時，雷霆整隊的進攻是最差的。他們在
20場比賽中每場比賽只能拿104分，並且贏下不到半數的比賽。

Meanwhile, the Thunder offense is still okay (slightly below average
efficiency) when Westbrook uses more plays than usual and Durant uses fewer
than usual. So shifting offensive opportunities directly from Westbrook to
Durant, at least how that has been done in some games this season, does not
seem to be optimal for OKC.

而在此同時，當西河被使用得稍微多於平均、而雷帝稍微低於平均時，雷霆的進攻依然還
算可以（稍微低於平均效率）。因此直接把進攻機會從西河手中交給雷帝，至少在這一季
的某些比賽中，似乎並不是最佳選擇。

‧ The Thunder offense is at its best when Durant and Westbrook are both
below average in terms of usage percentage, averaging an efficient 111.8
points per 100 possessions in those games. This would imply that getting
others involved is the real key in the Thunder’s most effective offensive
games.

‧ 當雷帝與西河的使用率都低於平均值時全隊的進攻反而是最佳的，每場比賽可拿下
111.8分。這顯示出雷霆的關鍵是其他人應該要跳出來。

Is this just about Westbrook setting others up better in those low-usage
games? It doesn't look like it. In those 22 low-usage games, it is Durant's
assists that go up (4.9 APG vs 3.1 in all other games), not Westbrook's (5.2
APG vs 5.7 in all other games).

這表示當西河的進攻減少時他可以幫助隊友們起來嗎？看起來似乎不是這樣。在那22場低
使用率的球賽裡，雷帝的助攻數提升了（一場4.9，高於其他場平均的3.1），而並不是西
河（一場5.2，低於其他場平均的5.7）。

心得：至少我覺得這篇沒有一直強調西河該把球給雷帝，他提出來的說法滿值得思考的@@
