Utah Jazz - Western Conference’s best record in what is the organization’s best start in 19 years. How good are they?
犹他爵士目前战绩高居西部第一,而且打出了队史19年来的最佳开局。那么,他们的实力到底有多强呢?
"The Jazz have won 19 of their last 20 games, 17 of those wins have been by double-digits."
“犹他爵士赢下了近20场比赛中的19场,其中17场的净胜分达到了两位数”。
"Excitement Index".
我们先来看一个数据,这项统计的名字叫做“兴奋指数”。
According to Excitement Index Coach Quin Snyder's team is the most boring team in NBA. Simply because their games are decided early and almost every time it ends with another victory for his team.
根据下图中的兴奋指数统计,奎因-斯奈德教练的队伍是全联盟最“无聊”的球队——因为他们的比赛基本上都能早早地分出胜负,而且几乎回回都是“醒来之后又多了一场胜利”。

It isn't just "lucky winning streak" or playing home games at high altitude (Vivint Arena ranks #2 in NBA Arena Elevations behind Pepsi Center in Denver) that helps Utah to play best basketball in the world at the moment.
爵士正在打出世界上最强大的篮球水准,而这样的势头不止是运气或者对于比赛的投入度所能解释的(爵士主场的海拔高度是联盟第二,仅次于掘金的高原主场)。
Is 2020./21. Utah Jazz team ready to reach greater heights than legendary Utah team with Karl Malone, John Stockton, Jeff Hornacek and Coach Jerry Sloan? I can guarantee that most of NBA basketball fans who are 30 or older will remember NBA Finals between these legendary teams - Chicago Bulls and Utah Jazz.
在20-21赛季,爵士是否已经准备好冲击那个连卡尔-马龙、约翰-斯托克顿和杰里-斯隆教练在队时期都没有达到过的高度了呢?我可以向大家保证,大多数30岁以上的NBA球迷都对当年公牛和爵士两队在总决赛中的传奇对决记忆犹新。
For over two decades, the 1996-1997 Utah Jazz historic start reined at the top of the franchises list of best starts to a season.
二十多年来,1996-97赛季爵士队那历史级的开局战绩一直矗立在联盟顶端,没有任何来者可以超越。
Of course it's too early to predict something that early but confidence they gave and what they doing on basketball court makes this team really really dangerous.
当然了,眼下对于断定一支球队的前景来说还为时过早。不过无论是他们给予外界的信心还是他们在赛场上打出的内容,都已经证明了这支球队的危险程度。
In this article we will try to answer to question - what are Utah keys to success?
在这篇文章中,我们要试着回答一个问题:爵士队的成功秘诀究竟是什么呢?
THREE-POINTERS
三分投射
The Death of Mid-Range & Rise of Threes. Keep Up the Volume and Keep Making It.
所谓“中投已死,三分当立”,现代篮球对于三分球的产量和效率都有着很高的要求。
That's not a secret that teams in recent years shoots more and more 3-pointers every next season.
近年来,联盟各队每一年的三分球出手量几乎都要比上一年高,这件事已经不是什么秘密了。
Obviously Coach Snyder follows new basketball trends and his team from Salt Lake City is the one who has biggest portion of all shots taken behind three-point line in whole NBA. And what's the most important - they make those shots with high accuracy.
显而易见的是,斯奈德教练顺应了新时代的篮球潮流。这支来自盐湖城的球队有着全联盟最高的三分球出手占比,而且最重要的是——他们能以极高的准度命中这些三分球。
THREE-POINTER = One of the keys of success.
可以说,他们的第一样秘诀就是三分投射。
Utah has the highest 3-Point Attempt Rate: Percentage of FG Attempts from 3-Point Range and 4th highest accuracy from 3-point line in NBA.
爵士不仅有着最高的三分出手比率,而且还投出了联盟第四的三分命中率
In 2020./21. NBA season almost every player of Utah Jazz main rotation players has career-high both 3-point shooting accuracy and 3-point shot attempts per game compared to previous seasons. Only exception is Bogdanovič who already had multiple seasons with very high accuracy and high volume of 3s. It's simply hard to surpass it every next season.
如下图所示,在20-21赛季,爵士主要轮转阵容内的几乎所有球员都投出了职业生涯新高的三分命中率和三分出手量——唯一的例外是博扬-波格丹诺维奇,只不过他已经连续多年维持了极高的三分球命中率和产量,要想再提高实在太难了。
BALANCE BETWEEN TEAMWORK & INDIVIDUAL SKILLS.
团队合作与个人技术之间的平衡
Unselfish basketball. Team with multiple threats. Everyone accepts his role. High IQ basketball. Good shot selection.
爵士队的篮球风格是无私的,球队中有着多种多样的进攻威胁,每个人都愿意接受自己的角色。他们也打得很聪明,投篮选择总体上非常合理。
Perfect example of Jazz ball-movement.
爵士的转移球一直都做得非常完美。
Individual skills. Despite we all know Utah Jazz as a team who plays team-oriented basketball most of their FG are unassisted - 45.5% of 2-pointers (25th in NBA) and 76.1% of 3-pointers (28th in NBA).
但个人的技巧也不可或缺。虽然我们都知道爵士是一支崇尚团队篮球的队伍,但他们目前的大多数进球并不是在接到队友的助攻后完成的——他们两分球的受助攻率是45.5%(联盟第25),三分球则是76.1%(联盟第28)。
That's because Jazz is the one of the best PNR teams in NBA at the moment and they play almost the same amount of PNRs as teams like Dallas (Luka) or Portland (Lillard, CJ McCollum) - teams who are often among leaders in PNR frequency in NBA.
这是因为爵士是当今NBA中最善于打挡拆的球队之一,他们发动挡拆的数量基本和独行侠(拥有卢卡-东契奇)和开拓者(拥有利拉德和CJ-麦科勒姆)相同,而这两支队伍经常是联盟中挡拆频率最高的球队。
Pick-and-roll is 2-man play but at the same time especially ball-handler must highly skilled for it to be effective.
挡拆是两人之间的配合,但如果想要奏效的话,持球人的个人技术必须要有很高的造诣。
Players like Mitchell, Conley, Bogdanovic and Ingles (also Clarkson this season shows his potential) all can shoot 3s after screen or attack to the basket. In addition to Gobert who is rolling to the basket it's scary combination.
米切尔、康利、博扬和英格尔斯等球员都能够在借助掩护后命中三分或者攻击篮筐(另外克拉克森本赛季也展现出了这两方面的潜力)。再加上负责顺下的人是戈贝尔,爵士队的挡拆威力可见一斑。
Pick-and-roll. Mitchell.
米切尔借挡拆命中三分
Pick-and-roll. Conley.
康利借挡拆命中三分
Compared to currently 2nd best team LA Lakers who are #1 team per post-up frequency (10.0%) Jazz ranks at the bottom of this rank - #30 (1.4%). Two successful teams but with completely different roster and playing style.
现居西部第二的湖人很喜欢打低位的背身进攻(频率达到10%),而爵士相比之下则完全是反其道而行之——他们打低位的频率是联盟垫底的1.4%。这两支球队的阵容配置和打法天差地别,但如今却都取得了很好的效果。
Interesting that 2 of Jazz starters are 1.85 m or shorter. According to Basketball-Reference.com Donovan Mitchell is 1.83 m and Mike Conley 1.85 m tall. It would be inspiration to all under-sized players that nothing is impossible even in tall people sport.
另一个有趣的地方在于,爵士的首发阵容中有两名身高1.85米或以下的球员(根据Basketball-Reference.com的资料,米切尔的身高是1.83米,康利则是1.85米),这对于那些身材矮小的球员来说将是莫大的激励。即便是在这项属于巨人的运动中,想要有所作为也并非是不可能的。
DEFENSE & REBOUNDING. DEFENSIVE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS.
“防守赢得总冠军”:防守与篮板球的重要性
First of all "life is easier" when you 2x NBA Defensive Player of the Year in your roster...
首先,当你的阵容里有一位两届DPOY得主时,一切都会变得简单起来……
Currenty Utah is the second best NBA team defensively - defensive rating 108.0 (2nd of 30). As I metioned in my previous HUPU article about LA Lakers free-throw is the most valuable shot in basketball (points per shot) and both Lakers and Jazz doing great job by disallowing opponents to get to the free-throw line. Both Jazz and Lakers are Top 5 of all 30 teams per fewest free-throws allowed (per 100 possessions.).
目前爵士可以说是NBA中防守第二好的球队——他们的防守效率是108.0,正好排在联盟第二。我曾在之前写湖人的那篇文章(链接戳我)中提到过,罚球是篮球场上效率最高的出手方式,而湖人和爵士在限制对手造罚球方面的表现都极为出色。这两支球队(平均每百回合)送给对手的罚球数都是联盟前五少的。
Defense is not over until you secure a rebound.
在你保护下篮板球之前,防守都不能算成功。
Coach Snyder's team ranks #1 in total rebounds per game (49.3 per 100 possessions). It's hard to imagine elite defense without elite rebounding (especially defensive rebounding).
斯奈德教练的队伍是联盟中篮板率最高的球队,平均每百回合能抢到49.3个篮板球。如果精英级别的防守没有配上精英级别的篮板球(特别是防守篮板的保护),那反而会让人难以想象。
High value shots vs. low value shots.
出手效率的高与低
All defenses wants their opponents to take bad shots. Utah Jazz doing excellent job by provoking opponents to take the biggest portion of their shots from area (red area in image below) between from 3 to 16 ft (approx. 1 to 5 m) distance from basket among all NBA teams (#1). These shots has the lowest value in NBA basketball.
每支球队在防守时都希望迫使对手投出高难度的投篮,而爵士在这方面执行得非常之好。他们尽可能地逼迫对手在距离篮筐3-16英尺的中近距离区域(即下图中的红色区域)投篮,其对手在该区域内的出手占比是联盟第一。而这片地方恰恰是NBA中“最不划算”的出手区域。
And that's not all. Utah Jazz is also the best team (#1) in whole league by opponents field goal % from this area. Excellent combination mathematically.
这还没完。除此之外,爵士还能够将对手在这片区域内的命中率限制到联盟最低的水准——两相叠加之下,效果就更好了。
SIMILARITIES WITH MILWAUKEE BUCKS 2019-2020?
看到这样的策略和效果,是不是觉得和去年的雄鹿有点像?
The best record in regular season, very good defense and rebounding, high volume of 3-pointers, basketball & mathematics.
同样是联盟最佳的战绩,同样有很好的防守和篮板球、高产量的三分以及精密的篮球统计学。
To win regular season is very good but to win NBA Title is another story.
常规赛能赢球当然好,但想要拿到总冠军就是另一回事了。
Milwaukee Bucks coach Budenholzer definitely has something to say about this topic (117 W - 38 L in previous 2 regular seasons).
在近两年的常规赛中豪取117胜38负的雄鹿主帅布登霍尔泽对此很有发言权……
Mike Conley - Teammate of the Year 2018-19.
康利曾赢得过2018-19赛季的最佳队友奖。
Donovan Mitchell wins Offseason NBA Cares Community Assist Award.
米切尔则在去年休赛期赢得了NBA社区关怀援助奖。
It's nothing wrong to be a good teammate or good person for community, society needs more athletes who cares of it. But question is if group of"nice guys" (I will exclude Ingles and his trash talk from this group) can make it all the way to the top of basketball world? And we don't talk about winning regular season. It really reminds me something from Milwaukee Bucks...
能当好一个队友或者好好回报社区自然是没毛病的,我们的社会也需要更多体恤民情的运动员。但是问题在于,由一群“乖宝宝”组成的球队(在此暂时刨除爱说垃圾话的英格尔斯)真的能一路走到篮球殿堂的最高点吗?这事可跟常规赛赢多少场球不一样。目前的他们真的会让我想到前几年的雄鹿……
"I said tonight that you are one of my favorite players, but you don't have what it takes to get to the next level" said O'Neal. "I said it on purpose because I wanted you to hear it. What do you have to say about that?" (Postgame interview with Donovan Mitchell).
在之前与米切尔进行的那次赛后采访中,沙奎尔-奥尼尔曾经这样说道:“今晚我曾经说过,虽然你绝对是我最喜欢的球员之一,但我认为你还不具备通往下一个级别所需要的能力。我承认我是故意这么说的,因为我希望你能听见。你对此能做出回应吗?”现在看来,这席话还挺值得我们深思一番。
