Utah Jazz: Boozer hasn't given up on his offense

爵BOO放棄

By Jody Genessy
Deseret News

Anxious Utah Jazz fans aren't the only ones who've noticed that Carlos Boozer
almost appears as if he's shooting the basketball at those tiny rims used by
amusement parks and carnivals.

不是只有氣急攻心的阿爵才會注意到阿布的鳥命中率，
因為他的樣子就像拿著正常籃球在投遊樂場的小籃框。

He is quite aware of his postseason shooting woes as well, thank you very
much.

阿布說他知道自己有多麼顧人怨，謝謝你喔。

But neither Boozer nor the rest of the Jazz are about to give up on the
all-star power forward's offense. They still believe his shot will return and
they he will help Utah win playoff games — and, heck, maybe even a stuffed
animal or two.

即便如此，爵士全隊決定忍氣吞聲讓這位明星前鋒繼續投下去，
他們堅信當他命中率止跌回升之時，爵士就能在季後賽中獲勝。

假使回天乏術，那還不如去遊樂場贏一兩個填充娃娃回來算了。

"He's struggled a little bit, but he's still playing hard," said Jazz point
guard Deron Williams at Tuesday morning's practice at the Zion's Bank
Basketball Center. "His shots will come, they'll start falling. We just gotta
keep going to him."

「雖然身陷泥淖，他還是裝得很認真在打呀～」小胖在練習時說了，
「等他元神歸位就會遍地開花啦，我只好捨棄助攻讓他練手感....」

The Jazz are confident that if Boozer can start causing havoc offensively in
the paint and begin to hit more mid-range jumpers he usually nails, they can
steal a win against the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center on Wednesday
night in Game 2 (8:30 p.m.) and potentially emerge from this Western
Conference semifinal series.

要是那個曾經用禁區攻勢與中距離打爆人家的阿布能回來的話，
爵士就有信心他們能在對湖人的第二戰中偷得一勝，衣錦還鄉。

Boozer said he wants to try to take advantage of Utah's potential inside
advantage. It would help if the rims would open up a bit on his short jumpers
that have been clanging away.

阿布說他會儘量利用猶他潛在的內線優勢(??)來打，
不過籃框如果能夠再加大一點的話，對他會更有利。

 "I've just got to knock it in (and) be more confident in my jump shot,"
Boozer said Tuesday morning. "I've struggled a little bit with my shot in the
playoffs, and I'm aware of that, but I'm also aware that I'm playing really
good basketball. I'm just not making my jump shots. ... I'm just more
anxious."

「我非進不可，而且要對我的跳投再多點信心，」阿布說，
「我在季後賽的表現簡直一塌糊塗，我自個兒心裡明白，」
「我覺得自己明明打得不錯呀，只是跳投時就是投不進。」

Boozer might be pressing his shots as a result of playoff nerves and trying
to do too much. After shooting 54.7 percent and averaging 21.1 points per
game in the regular season, Boozer is only shooting 42.9 percent and scoring
15.9 ppg in the playoffs. He missed 8-of-14 shots and only scored 15 in the
109-98 Game 1 loss to the Lakers on Sunday.

阿布將原因歸咎於自己的緊張與太過想要以一擋五，
才會讓他從原本例行賽時54.7％的命中率與21.1分，
一口氣滑落到季後賽的42.9％命中率與平均15.9分。
對湖人第一戰他十四投有八球落空，終場只得15分。

Boozer wouldn't use it as an excuse, but his sore back might also be
bothering his shot somewhat.

雖然他口口聲聲不想用傷痛當藉口，
但還是偷偷透露他的背有點不舒服。

Regardless, Boozer's rebounding average has increased from 10.4 boards per
game in the regular season to a dozen rebounds in the playoffs.

唯一可喜的是，季後賽他的籃板由原本的10.4個提升到12個。

Another concern for Boozer and the Jazz are (his) turnovers. He said
recognizing the Lakers' defense and double teams will help him not have a
repeat of Sunday's sloppy first half in which he had six of his game-high
seven turnovers.

害阿布被公幹的還有一件事，就是他的失誤次數，
他說這次會好好看清湖人對他採取的防守與包夾，
以免重蹈上一場的覆轍 — 光上半場就六次失誤。

Sloan said if Boozer — or anybody, for that matter — is struggling
offensively, then the rest of the team needs to pick up the slack.

教皇說不管是任何人，只要進攻出了問題，
隊上的其他人都應該要跳出來幫忙拿分數。

"I'm not worried as much about numbers as playing," Sloan said.

「我才不會去計較誰誰誰該得幾分。」教皇說。

"I don't go out and think anybody has to get a certain number (of points)
because somebody else can pick up some of those if they're working harder if
they're (the Lakers) playing (Boozer) the way they're playing."

「那些失常未得的個人分數只要有其他人出來承接就夠了，」
「前提是你得夠賣力，才能在對手嚴密的防守下突圍而出。」

That obviously didn't happen in Game 1, when the Jazz shot 37.9 percent as a
team. Of the nine Jazz players to shoot Sunday, only backups C.J. Miles
(2-for-3) and Paul Millsap (2-for-4) hit at least half of their shots.

顯然教皇的殷殷期盼在第一戰撲了個空。
阿爵全隊該場的命中率是悽慘的三成七，
替補的西街三投兩中及米爺的四投兩中，
是九名出手球員中唯二命中率過五成的。
