Rui Hachimura has had an odd first full season with the Los Angeles Lakers,
mostly due to an ever-evolving role. His uncertain role resulted in some up
and down play, but it is hard to gauge where he fits.
Head coach Darvin Ham relegated Hachimura to a bench role, then to a starting
role, back to the bench, etc. The 26-year-old faced a lot of adjustment and
change this season but with Jarred Vanderbilt and Cam Reddish currently
sidelined, Hachimura once again is a starter.
八村壘加入湖人後這第一個完整的賽季有點異常，這麼說是因為他的角色不停變換。
不明確的定位也造成他的表現起伏不定，讓人難以衡量出他適合哪裡。
教練 Darvin Ham 一時把他降為替補﹑一時又把他升上先發﹑循環反覆。這個26歲的
小伙子要面對很多的調整適應，而現在隨著JV和紅盤的傷出，他又恢復了正選位置。
The former Gonzaga Bulldog followed up his two-point performance on Thursday
with 21 points on Friday in the win against the New Orleans Pelicans.
However, teammate Anthony Davis credits Hachimura for taking the challenge
defensively after matching up with Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson.
“Yeah, he’s taking on the challenge,” Davis said of Hachimura. “We put a
lot of pressure on Rui to guard. Tonight he had Zion and BI, two scorers.
Like you said, it’s a team defense, it’s not just on one guy, we don’t
leave one guy on an island. But we’ve had matchups all year where we put him
on the opposing team’s best wing player and he’s been good. He’s
definitely improved. He’s more than capable of playing defense and giving us
what he gave tonight on the offensive end. Anytime we have an assignment that
we feel he can guard, we’ll put it on him and make sure that we help him on
the backside.”
這個前NCAA岡薩加鬥牛犬男籃成員在週四的賽事只得兩分，卻在接下來週五戰勝紐奧良
鵜鶘時勇奪21分。但是，隊友Anthony Davis 最讚賞八村的卻是他面對 Ingram 和
Zion Williamson 時正面接下了防守的挑戰。
「耶~ 他接下了這個挑戰」 AD這樣談論八村。「我們給了八村很多壓力在防守任務上。
今晚他要應付Zion 和IG﹑兩大搶分手。雖然就像你的，防守是關於球隊整體的﹑不是只限於
一個人去做﹑我們不能把一個同伴像扔在荒島上讓他獨自處理。但我們整年都在配對防守
上要八村應付對面最好的側翼球員而他做得不錯。他絕對有在進步。他有著很不錯的防守
表現而且在進攻端交出了今晚的成績。每一次我們有個防守任務覺得他能守得到，就會交
給他去處理而我們負責確保協防。
With defensive personnel lacking due to injuries, Hachimura is stepping into
the challenge of guarding some of the best wings and bigs in the league. Due
to his frame, he has the capability to stay with these scoring threats, and
it is good to see that he is embracing that challenge.
During last season’s postseason run, Hachimura matched up with two-time MVP
Nikola Jokic in the Western Conference Finals and held his own. Davis is not
asking of him to fill that Vanderbilt role, but simply take pride in whoever
he is guarding helps and Hachimura is doing so since re-entering the starting
lineup.
湖人因為傷員而在防守上人手不足，八村接下了面對聯盟那些最好的側翼與大個子的防守
任務。由於身村上的優勢，讓他有能力對著這些進攻威脅時站穩腳步，看到他樂意接受這
些挑戰是一件好事。
在去年季後賽期間，八村在西區決賽時要防守兩屆MVP Jokic 而也支撐得住。 AD不是要求他
在防守上填補JV的角色，只是要他對自己的防守感到自信，這也是八村重新進入先發陣容
後這樣表現的。
Rui Hachimura credits Phil Handy for encouraging him to ‘just shoot’
Coming off an impressive shooting postseason with the Lakers, Hachimura came
into this season looking to build off that. During the summer, he worked out
plenty with LeBron James and assistant coach Phil Handy, improving on his
game. His shooting numbers have been a bit up and down, but Hachimura credits
Handy for encouraging him to ‘just shoot.’
八村感謝 Handy 鼓勵他「只管投籃」
八村在湖人季後賽中取得了令人印象深刻的投籃命中率，今季他希望在此基礎上再進一步。
夏天時他與LBJ和助教練Handy一起進行了大量訓練，提高自己的比賽水平。他的投籃數據
雖然有些起伏，但八村感謝 Handy鼓勵他「只管投籃」。
