Nets Playbook: Three Nets plays to watch in 2017-2018

籃網戰術板：三個17-18球季可以看到的戰術

來源:netsdaily

Much has been made of the new offense the Brooklyn Nets installed under Kenny Atkinson in 2016-2017. I, personally, have written, read and heard the words “modern,” “fast-paced” and “efficient” 1,989 times in the past year.
2016-2017球季，阿金替籃網打造許多新的進攻元素。我，本人，在去年寫了1989次的「現代」、「快節奏」和「效率」。

But to describe the Nets offense in these terms, without context, is like calling a poke bowl or southern fusion triple bacon burger (grass-fed, of course) “delicious” without discussing the ingredients. The “stuff” that makes the Nets offense tick is just as important as the pace they play and the shots they take.
但若用只用這些字詞卻沒有其他內容來形容籃網的進攻，就像是只說生魚丁沙拉和南方融合三重培根(當然是青草餵養)很好吃卻沒有討論裡面的食材。這些原料對於進攻就跟節奏和投射一樣重要。

Last season, the NBA saw Atkinson’s creativity as an x’s and o’s coach. The YES Network broadcast team noted the different looks of every Net out-of-bounds play. Even during regular possessions, the Nets ran interesting sets that deviated from their typical offensive flow. In a nutshell, the Nets’ primary offensive game plan focuses on read-and-react plays, rather than pigeon-holed sets.
上個球季，NBA看到了阿金在戰術上的創造力。YES轉播團隊注意到籃網的每個界外球戰術看起來都不一樣。即使在一般的回合，籃網也會跑別於典型的有趣進攻。換句話說，籃網在進攻上著重即時反應而非生硬的設置。

With new personnel on board, the Nets could use these plays to their advantage. D’Angelo Russell could manipulate Nets pick-and-roll plays to his and his team’s betterment. A deep threat like Allen Crabbe could benefit from off-ball screens or dribble hand offs. A healthy Jeremy Lin could excel using his speed off-ball to create for himself or his teammates. Timofey Mozgov and DeMarre Carroll might man the big positions, but could also play on the perimeter on certain possessions.
隨著新人員加入，籃網可以利用他們的優勢來跑這些戰術。Dlo可以執行檔拆讓他和隊友更好。螃蟹可以在無球掩護或是運球切換時發揮他的外圍威脅。健康的林在無球的時候，可以利用他的速度替自己或隊友創造空間。Moz和Carroll會擔任大個子，但他們也可以在側翼做出貢獻。

What plays could the Nets use to highlight players’ strengths? We have the video! Here are three simple actions the Nets used last season that could carry over to 2017-2018.
什麼戰術可以讓籃網發揮球員的優勢呢？我們有影片！下面是三個籃網可以帶進2017-2018球季的上季的戰術。

Horns
The Horns set is essentially pick and roll plus. The simple, but effective play is so popular, the Nets’ offense flows into it naturally at times. From horns sets, there are several options. Here,Quincy Acy and Andrew Nicholson are the “horns” for ball handler Isaiah Whitehead. It leads to an Acy jump shot.
牛角戰術*
牛角戰術本質就是擋拆的升級版。這個簡單有效的戰術很受歡迎，籃網有時候會自然而然的跑出牛角。牛角戰術中會產生許多選項。在這裡Acy和Nicholson是「角」，白頭是控球者。跑位讓Acy有跳投的機會。
(註:牛角戰術:一開始的站位呈現一個A字型，又稱A set，站在罰球線附近的兩人稱為角，可參考牛角進攻)

 

Below, the ball moves from the primary pick and roll action of horns. Jeremy Lin handles the ball initially, then swings it to Quincy Acy, who swings it to Caris LeVert. LeVert drives on the secondary penetration, receiving an Acy screen. This leaves Acy open from the three-pointline.
下面這個影片可以看到，球從角位做擋拆開始流動。一開始球在林手上，接著傳給Acy，Acy再傳給LV。LV利用Acy的掩護後，切入做第二次的滲透，這使得Acy在三分有了空檔。

Above, Jeremy Lin sets the flex screen for Brook Lopez. Lopez cuts across the paint, drawing attention from Kosta Koufos and Darren Collison. This leaves Jeremy Lin open underneath the basket for the easy layup after Booker reads the defense.
上面的影片，林進入禁區幫大羅做了一個掩護，而大羅在油漆區的走位則吸引了Koufos和Collison的注意，這讓林有了空檔，Booker注意到後傳給林做一個簡單的上籃。

The Flex cut is a simple play that can cause confusion for defenses in the post. A strong, taller guard like Isaiah Whitehead or Spencer Dinwiddie could set a screen for a big with flex action.While Timofey Mozgov may not be as gifted offensively as Brook Lopez, he did shoot a solid 66.0% at the rim last season with the Lakers. If matched up with a plodding power forward, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, DeMarre Carroll, Quincy Acyor Trevor Booker could each use their quickness to fling free for easy baskets down low. The flex action itself may not lead to immediate points, but could lead to secondary ball movement to scavenge for the best shot.
Flex cut是一個在低位造成防守混亂的簡單戰術。強壯高大的後衛如白頭或丁威可以為大個子做flex掩護。雖然Moz沒有跟大羅一樣的進攻天賦，但他上季在湖人時在籃框附近也繳出了66.0%的好成績。若配合拚命的大前鋒，如RHJ、Carroll、Acy或Booker，則可以運用他們的速度閃避防守，簡單地得分。Flex本身或許不能達到立即得分的效果，但可以為之後球的流動創造更好的進攻選擇。

Flare Screen
Out of the three actions described, the Nets used the flare screen least frequently. While the Nets may not have ran a flare action often, it could be a useful tool with additional shooting on the floor. It’s a way for shooters to get open on the move without the ball.
三分橫向掩護
三個戰術裡，籃網最少用的就是Flare Screen。雖然籃網不常用，但這個戰術可以創造出額外的投籃機會，讓射手在無球時得到空檔。
(註:常用於 Motion Offense。為設立於三分線附近的橫向掩護，隊友則往遠離球的方向切入。這裡的翻譯是我自己翻的，下面會直接用英文)

 

While not a “true” flare play itself, Sean Kilpatrick nails a three-pointer on an out of bounds play. Brook Lopez and Spencer Dinwiddie “smush” together to cause a diversion for the defense. (Smush was the most scientific word I could use for that initial movement.) Lopez sets the flare-type screen for Sean Kilpatrick, who flashes to the elbow. He receives the pass from Jeremy Lin. C.J. McCollum is a beat too late and is unable to contest the shot fully.
雖然這不是很純的flare，但殺派在這個界外球戰術中投進了三分。大羅和丁威把防守者夾在中間讓防守出現分歧。接著殺派到肘區後，大羅為他做了一個flare式的掩護。殺派接到林的傳球時，McCollum已經慢了，無法做出完整的干擾。
(註:作者的肘區好像在三分外圍，但我查到的是在罰球線附近@@)

 

Here’s the Portland Trail Blazers running flare-type action. (I honestly have the urge to WOOO! like Ric Flair typing flare over and over again.) Crabbe cuts from right corner to left elbow. He receives a screen from Ed Davis going away from the basketball. C.J. McCollum lofts a pass to him for a quick trigger three-pointer.
這個影片是拓荒者跑flare的戰術。(一次又一次地反覆鍵入flare一詞使我真的有像Ric Flair那樣大叫WOOO!的衝動)螃蟹從右邊底角跑到左邊肘區，Ed幫他做了一個掩護，接著McCollum傳給螃蟹，讓他有了快速出手三分的機會。
(註:Ric Flair是美國前職業摔角選手)

With a spot-up shooting threat like Allen Crabbe, the flare screen seems like an obvious action to run when the team needs perimeter scoring. Even for a playmaker like D’Angelo Russell, coming off of a flare screen could set the offense up for a pick and roll or drive. Like a Brooklynite at Smorgasburg, the possibilities are seemingly endless.
有了螃蟹這個定點投射威脅，flare在需要外圍得分時是個明確的選擇。甚至像是Dlo這個戰術發起者來說，做完flare還可以接著做擋拆或切入。就像是布魯克林的Smorgasburg商場一樣充滿了無限的可能。

Kenny Atkinson’s offense is complex compared to previous coaching regimes. The read-and-react nature of the offense, and the seemingly endless options coming off of one pass requires a learning curve. For players and for fans, understanding how shots are generated is useful to better understand the team. Rather than using the same buzzwords to describe the offense, it’s fun/interesting/cool to tread knee deep in full on basketball nerd X’s and O’s. It’s a basketball buffet.
阿金的進攻戰術比起先前的教練來的複雜。進攻上的閱讀和反應以及一個傳球後的多重選擇都是需要時間學習的。對於球員和球迷來說，可以透過理解投射是如何發生的來更明白球隊的運作。比起一直用同樣的詞彙來形容進攻，沉浸在籃球戰術狂的世界裡是有趣的、很酷的。這是籃球饗宴!

Here, I’ve simplified some basic actions the Nets can use heading into the 2017-2018 season. With new faces on-court,Kenny Atkinson could look to diversify his playbook.
