今天我终于可以去更新了。我不禁注意到今早报纸上有两篇关于钱宁·弗莱的文章。第一个是乔·弗里曼,第二个布莱恩·亨德里克森的.
第一个,也是最合适的回应是,“干得好,弗莱先生!”在赛季的第一个月之后(在这期间他得到了一些调整的宽限期),很难不批评他的表现。他在外面做的事情并不多。这种情况已经改变了,至少在进攻、篮板和能量方面是如此。他现在在这三个方面的表现都达到了更高的水平,他让人们很容易欣赏他的比赛。有时候人们会对玩家抱有极高的期望,并沉迷于他们的缺陷。我认为对于某些球员——那些有潜力成为合法的、有团队领导能力的超级巨星的球员——这是适当的。如果迈克尔·乔丹没有在他的比赛中解决年轻的缺陷,他就不会成为迈克尔·乔丹。但对于大多数球员来说,大多数时候最好是让他们向我们展示他们为什么在联盟中。史蒂夫·布雷克可能永远不会成为一个伟大的运球得分手。 Neither was Steve Kerr. That's not why they made it. They play in the league because they have certain skills that you know you're going to see on display every night. You know what you're going to get when you acquire them and presumably you picked them up because their skills matched your needs. If a guy is demonstrating why he's an NBA player most every night then we shouldn't have much quarrel with him. If you want something besides what he does well then you need to get a different player, not complain about the one you have. Earlier in the year Channing wasn't looking like an NBA player. Now he's showing us why he is. Fair enough. Well done.
然而,更重要的一点可能是他可以和这个团队一起进步。还有詹姆斯·琼斯。这不是理所当然的。自从德雷克斯勒时代结束后,这支球队的人变得更糟,而不是更好。90年代末的拉希德队也是如此。我们得到了皮蓬、史密斯、达蒙、德里克·安德森、戴尔·戴维斯、肖恩·坎普……这样的例子不胜枚举。他们来这里的时候产量下降了,而不是上升了。对一些人来说是年龄,但不是全部。我们没有那种互相帮助的团队,没有那种认识到优势和如何发挥优势的团队,没有那种可以培养/促进一个人的出现的团队。没有信任,没有同志情谊,没有远大目标的愿景,就等于没有成长。 Obviously this didn't improve any in the Jailblazer era. But now look! How many guys--young and veteran both--are playing better this season than they have the last few? That's no accident. Some of it is more shots, minutes, and spots on the floor being opened up with the changing of the guard, but some of it is the attitude and teamwork as well.
这是团队前进方向的另一个标志。这是一个你无法提前预测的弯道,但一旦你绕过它,你就可以清楚地看到区别。“干得漂亮”不仅属于钱宁,也属于整个团队。
