NBA最難以防守的招式演變

If there's one thing that separates NBA superstars from every other pro bask
etball player, it's their abilities to create their own buckets. An elite gr
oup of players has the ability to take advantage of any sliver of space or t
he slightest opening to the rim -- scoring in ways that leave defenses compl
etely helpless.



The most deflating of these plays come on three types of spectacular moves,
all unassisted and all unstoppable in the right hands: the step-back, the is
o dunk and the deep pull-up 3. The best in the game rely on these moves when
 they need a bucket and want to make sure there's nothing you can do about i
t. In a way, they're perfect reflections of the modern game. But they're als
o deeply rooted in their own important basketball lineages.



Here is the evolution of the most unguardable moves in the NBA.

以下是這三種無解招式的進化歷程。

The step-back

後撤步投籃

Let's start with the go-to move for the NBA's three-time defending scoring c
hampion.James Harden has leveraged his amazing ability to create his own 3-p
oint shots off the bounce for years now. He hunts and pecks with endless dri
bbles -- rocking his body, threatening a dribble-drive. As soon as he notice
s his defender is leaning just a hair the wrong way, he pulls his body back,
 gathers up his dribble and fires.



The numbers are startling. Over the past six seasons, Harden has attempted a
 staggering 1,988 step-back 3s. Nobody else in the league has tried more tha
n 800.

在過去的六個賽季內，Harden共出手了1988次後撤步三分。 聯盟沒有任何一名球員的有
這樣的數據超過800次。

We didn't talk much about efficiency in the 1990s, but when we review Jordan
's midrange stats through today's analytical lens, his numbers are astoundin
g. In 1996-97,he led the NBA in midrange attempts and efficiency.



A decade later, Dirk Nowitzki took the move one step further by adding more
of a step-back element. Nowitzki combined his enormous size with a high rele
ase point and masterful footwork to create his own unstoppable jump-shooting
 arsenal.



He rode shots like this all the way to the 2011 NBA championship:

Then came Harden and Stephen Curry, who both used the same principles to do
something outlandish. They exported the unassisted jumper revolution out to
3-point territory, changing the game forever in the process.

之後是Harden和Stephen Curry，他們都使用相同的原理來開創了不同的投法。 他們將
後撤步出手範圍延展到了三分線外，此後改變了籃球運動的發展軌跡。

They used ridiculous handles and the threat of rim attacks to destroy their
defenders' balance. But because they were facing the target, they could effe
ctively shoot the ball from distance. By timing their gather with exquisite
footwork, they essentially transitioned from dribblers to 3-point shooters i
n the blink of an eye.By the time defenders realized what they were up to, i
t was too late.

And by the time Luka Doncic was entering the league, the move was officially
 a thing. Rather than a relatively simple step-back, now we get stuff like t
his:

在Luka Doncic進入聯盟前，三分後撤步在聯盟已經傳開，而現在後撤步已經進化成了像
這樣：

Harden and Doncic make this look easy, but it's not. Only six players are ev
en attempting multiple step-back 3s per game, according to Second Spectrum t
racking.

Harden和Doncic讓後撤步三分看起來十分簡單，但其實不然。 據Second鰵pectrum統計
，目前聯盟裡只有六名球員場均會出手超過一次的後撤步三分。

The unassisted dunk

單打扣籃

While the past 10 years in the NBA will be remembered for the 3-point revolu
tion, games are won and lost at the rim, too. Many of the league's most impo
rtant superstars still create their own buckets in the paint, blending power
, size and speed to dunk at will.

近十年來，NBA因“小球時代”掀起的三分球革命，但聯盟裡許多超級球星依舊可以在禁
區為自己創造出投籃空間，結合力量、身材及速度優勢在防守球員頭上予取予求。

While 3s have reshaped the look and feel of pro basketball, one guy being ab
le to put the ball directly into the rim is an extreme luxury in tight playo
ff games.

儘管目前三分球的發展已經改變了職業籃球的打法以及觀感，但在季後賽對抗中，如隊
中有一個可以突破到內線得分的球員，這會對比賽走勢起到決定性的作用

Interior domination is as old as the NBA itself, and many of the league's fi
rst superstars (George Mikan, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell) used unassiste
d dunks and layups to pave the way for today's greats. But the seminal inter
ior dominator in the 21st century is Shaquille O'Neal, one of the greatest c
enters ever and arguably the single most physically imposing player in NBA h
istory.



O'Neal propelled the Lakers to three consecutive titles with dunk after dunk
. If you didn't send the double-team, he'd bump and fake anyone into oblivio
n on the way to a slam like this

O'Neal用他一次又一次的扣籃幫助湖人完成了三連霸。 如果不對他採取包夾，他就會對
防守進行衝擊，並利用假動作晃開防守者，用扣籃結束進攻

LeBron James-- the most visible basketball player on the planet for at least
 a decade now -- is a threat to do nearly anything on the court. Even at age
 36, he's at perhaps his most undeniable when he channels Shaq from the peri
meter. Let James beat the first defender and it often doesn't matter what he
lp defense is coming. He's ready to throw it down.

You can see James' influence on two of the league's most imposing younger pl
ayers.leading the league in points in the paint in each of the past three se
asons thanks in large part to his unassisted jams.

But Antetokounmpo's reign in the paint might be brief. There's a challenger
in New Orleans, and this move is what makes him special.

但字母哥對於禁區的統治可能不會持續太久，因為在鵜鶘隊中有一位強有力的挑戰者對
他的地位發起了強有力的挑戰。 下面充分展示了他的與眾不同。

At age 21,Zion Williamson is averaging nearly 20 points per game in the lane
, emerging as the latest do-it-yourself dunking machine. Like James, he is b
lessed with a tremendous feel for the game. Like O'Neal, he comes equipped w
ith a blend of size and strength that just seems unfair. That combination re
sults in a unique ability to get from the edges to the rim



The deeeep pull-up 3

超遠三分球

Along with step-back 3s, deep pull-up 3s are among the fastest-growing shot
types in the NBA. Today's best shooters are now comfortable shooting from di
stances that were deemed absurd just a decade ago.



Steph Curry normalized this move, but some of his NBA ancestors were pretty

good at it too. One example: Gilbert Arenas, probably the boldest jump-shoot
er of his era, showed the world that shooting from 30 feet wasn't impossible
.Arenas hit big-time buzzer-beaters from outer space throughout his career.

Still, the biggest moment in the league's deep 3 movement happened on a Satu
rday night in Oklahoma City. Curry melted our faces with a 37-foot buzzer-be
ating bomb in one of the 2015-16 season's biggest games.

NBA中最經典的超遠三分誕生在2015年雷霆主場迎戰勇士的比賽中，Curry用一記剛過半
場距離籃框37英尺的超遠三分球絕殺了雷霆。

Curry will go down as one of the most influential players in league history
for proving that it is possible to be efficient from beyond 30 feet. Since 2
013-14,he has made a ridiculous 37.6% of his 193 attempts from that range. O
n these 10-yard completions,Curry is the most accurate quarterback in the NB
A.



But he's not alone. Any conversation about deep 3s needs to includeamian L
illard, who has ended two playoff series with legendary triples from way dow
ntown. Lillard can't quite match Curry's accuracy, but he's not far behind.
And nobody -- not even Curry -- has made more deep ones than Dame, who has s
unk 140 3s from beyond 30 feet since 2013-14

One of the best things about pro basketball is that it's constantly evolving
. The world's most influential hoopers find new ways to create their own buc
kets in breathtaking fashion

職業籃球最棒的一點就是它在不斷發展。世界上最有影響力的籃球運動員找到了新的方
法，創造自己的得分手段
