NBA:季前赛-费城76人对阵波士顿凯尔特人

各支球队的三分球出手次数比以往任何时候都多,但如果出手前的过程更精彩一些,这倒也不算是什么大问题。

三分球出手次数已达到历史新高。 NBA 的进攻是否过于依赖外线投篮,以至于变得可预测且乏味?

玛丽莲·杜宾斯基(Marilyn Dubinski): 只要三分球是在进攻流畅的情况下,在合适的时机出手,我并不介意出手次数的多少,就像“美丽篮球”马刺队所创造并后来由水花兄弟的勇士队进一步完善的那样。我不喜欢的是那些在进攻时间还很充裕的时候,球员为了投篮而强行出手的那些有对抗的三分球,或者运球后的急停干拔三分。话虽如此,太多的三分球并不是让比赛变得无聊和可预测的原因,至少对我来说不是。真正让我反感的是懒散的防守、骗犯规,以及裁判要么接管比赛,要么吹罚偏袒一方。本赛季他们在允许更多身体对抗方面做得稍好一些,但相比于三分球,这些问题更让我对比赛的发展方向感到担忧。(话虽如此,我并不支持四分线。没必要进一步鼓励糟糕的远距离投篮。)

赫苏斯·戈麦斯(Jesus Gomez): 至少目前为止,对我来说,问题不在于三分球的数量,而在于它们的产生方式。球队们并不是通过转移球、利用掩护为球员创造机会,甚至是让天赋异禀的射手进行急停跳投来投出60个三分球的。你经常会看到多个回合中,一名球员运球过半场,传一次球,接球者就仓促出手一记半对抗的投篮。投篮的产生方式与数量有关——如果你想像凯尔特人那样投出超过50个三分球,你就不能太挑剔——但我并不讨厌勇士队当年大量出手三分球,因为在这些出手之前发生的事情很有趣。即使是马刺队的一些三分球命中,有时也会有一种与智力相关的满足感(我知道投那个球很聪明),而不是对一些复杂、漂亮或出乎意料的事情产生的本能反应。

我不会因为三分球出手次数的增加而停止观看或享受 NBA,但享受的方式不同了,而且我不确定任何规则的改变能对现在球队的进攻方式产生足够大的影响。

德文·伯德桑(Devon Birdsong): 我同意赫苏斯和玛丽莲的观点。困扰我的与其说是三分球的数量,不如说是它发生的方式。我认为你必须得把一部分责任归咎于2014年的马刺队,他们认识到并利用它作为对抗更具运动能力球队的优势。勇士队随后加倍投入到这种打法中,并取得了巨大的成功。然而,他们也延续了圣安东尼奥马刺队出色的球运转的传统。真正的转折点是詹姆斯·哈登(James Harden)将它变成了21世纪初单打篮球的丑陋翻版。一旦他确立了这种投三分球的成功方式,这种风格的丑陋蔓延开来只是时间问题。总而言之,我责怪 NBA 的宽松判罚政策让这种现象蔓延开来。很可能,人们不讨厌三分球,而是讨厌亚当·萧华(Adam Silver)和詹姆斯·哈登。

J.R. 威尔科(J.R. Wilco): 我必须首先声明,我最喜欢的篮球永远是马刺队从2012年通过放弃条款签下鲍里斯·迪奥(Boris Diaw)之后,到2015年夏天签下拉马库斯·阿尔德里奇(LaMarcus Aldridge)之前所打的美丽篮球。在我看来,那将永远是篮球的巅峰,也是我作为球迷和联盟观察者最享受的时期。

话虽如此,最好的篮球永远是有效的篮球。如果有人能练就从半场出手不可阻挡的侧步后仰三分球的能力,那就让他们去投吧。我只是希望这个人来自圣安东尼奥,这样我就能更加享受它。

我相信最好的篮球也是赏心悦目的,也是最有效的。如果规则(或者裁判吹罚规则的方式)让人工地让另一种不太美观的风格变得有效,那么我反对这种做法。但除此之外,我喜欢看精彩的篮球比赛。无论它是否包含比我习惯的更多的三分球,我都欣然接受。

The NBA’s three-point problem is about quality, not quantity

NBA: Preseason-Philadelphia 76ers at Boston Celtics

Teams are taking more three-pointers than ever, but that wouldn’t be as big a problem if what came before the shots was more interesting.

Three-point field goal attempts are at an all-time high. Are NBA offenses becoming too dependent on the outside shot to the point of becoming predictable and boring?

Marilyn Dubinski: The number of three-pointers being taken doesn’t bother me as long as they’re taken in the right scenario within the flow of the offense, kind of like what the “Beautiful Game Spurs” created and was later built upon by the Splash Bros’ Warriors. What I don’t like is contested threes or dribble-up pull-ups early in the shot clock just because a player wants to shoot it instead of running some offense. That being said, too many threes isn’t what’s making the game boring and predictable, at least for me. It’s lazy defense, foul baiting, and officials either taking over the game or calling it too one-sided that really turns me off. They have been a little better in allowing more physicality this season, but those issues make me cringe more at the direction of the game than threes. (That being said, I am NOT an advocate for the four-point line. No need to encourage bad, long shots any further.)

Jesus Gomez: It’s not the amount of threes that is the problem for me, at least for now. It’s how they are created. Teams are not taking 60 threes by moving the ball, freeing up players off screens, or even having prodigious shooters pulling up. You’ll often see multiple possessions where a player crosses half-court, makes one pass and the receiver just lets a semi-contested look fly. The way that the shots are created is related to the volume — if you want to launch over 50 like the Celtics do, you can’t be too selective — but I didn’t really dislike the Warriors when they were taking a ton of threes because what came before those attempts was interesting. Even on some of the Spurs threes that go in, there’s sometimes a feeling of satisfaction tied to the intellect (I understand that it’s smart to take that shot) instead of the visceral response to something complex, beautiful or unexpected.

I won’t stop watching or enjoying the NBA because of increased three-point shooting, but the type of enjoyment is different, and I’m not sure any rule changes can have a big enough effect on how teams play offense now.

Devon Birdsong: I agree with Jeje and Marilyn on this one. It’s not so much the number that bothers me as it is the way that it’s happening. I think you have to blame the 2014 Spurs a little bit for recognizing and exploiting it as an advantage over more athletic teams. The Warriors then doubled down on that style of play to great success. However, they also continued San Antonio’s legacy of excellent ball movement. The real turning point came when James Harden turned it into an ugly reinvention of early 2000’s iso-ball. Once he established that as a successful way to approach shooting the three, it was only a matter of time until we saw the spreading of that stylistic ugliness. In summary, I blame the NBA for allowing that to proliferate through lax officiating policies. In all likelihood, it’s not that people dislike the three as much as they dislike Adam Silver and James Harden.

J.R. Wilco: I must begin by saying that my favorite basketball will always be the Beautiful Basketball the Spurs played from 2012 after the acquisition of Boris Diaw off of waivers, up to the point when the Spurs added LaMarcus Aldridge in the summer of 2015. In my mind, that will always be peak basketball and the height of my enjoyment as a fan and an observer of the league.

That said, the best basketball will always be effective basketball. If someone develops the ability to hit unguardable sidestepping, fade away three pointers from half court, more power to them. I’ll just hope that it’s someone from San Antonio so that I can enjoy it all the more.

I believe that the best basketball is also aesthetically pleasing, and also the most effective. If the rules (or the way that the referees are calling the rules) enables another, less aesthetically pleasing style to become artificially effective then I’m against that. But otherwise, I will enjoy watching excellent basketball being played. I’m ok with it, whether it contains more three-point shots that I’m used to, or not.
