76ers, Hawks Among Teams Practicing with 4-Point Line in Latest NBA Trend
76人，老鷹跟一些其他的隊伍在練習"四分線"
It's not uncommon for Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry to pull up
from the logo, but he's not the only one around the league trying to stretch
the court.
看到勇士明星球員Stephen Curry投Logo Shot似乎沒什麼好大驚小怪的，但是他不是聯盟
裡唯一一個在拉大投球距離的人。
According to ESPN.com's Malika Andrews, the Philadelphia 76ers, Atlanta
Hawks, Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks are among the teams
that have practiced with some variation of a "four-point line."
根據ESPN記者Malika Andrews報導，費城76人，亞特蘭大老鷹，布魯克林籃網，芝加哥公
牛，密爾瓦基公鹿是幾支隊伍一直在練習不同形式的"四分球"。
"We are all thieves," Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said, per Andrews. "It
is a copycat league. I look at it as a compliment that other people value
that."
「我們都是小偷，」76人教練Brett Brown說。「大家都會偷招啦，但是我會把當作大家也
是認同這種方式的讚美。」
Atlanta has painted a four-point line five feet behind the three-point line
on its practice court. Conveniently, that approach fits the style of 2018
fifth overall pick Trae Young, who stands 6'2" and 180 pounds.
老鷹是在他們的練習場館的三分線外面5呎處畫了一條四分線。那樣的訓練方式對於他們在
2018年第五順位選到的6'2"，180磅的Trae Young很合。
"I would always try to extend my range farther and farther because I wasn't
getting much taller," Young told Andrews. "The farther I shoot, people
weren't expecting that."
「我一直試著在拉遠我的投球距離，因為我沒辦法再長高了，」Young說。「我越遠投，防
守的人越不會想到。」
Through his first 29 games, Young is shooting just 37.8 percent from the
field and 24.1 percent from beyond the arc in his rookie season. But
Atlanta's four-point line isn't only for shooting. For Hawks coach Lloyd
Pierce, today's NBA is all about spreading out the defense.
目前打了29場比賽，Young的命中率只有37.8趴，三分命中率只有24.1趴。但是，老鷹的四
分線不是只為了投球練習，對於老鷹教練Lloyd Pierce來說，現今的NBA著重在拉開防守。
"Spacing changes the whole game," Lloyd said, per Andrews.
「拉開空間這件事改變了整個比賽，」Lloyd說。
The four-point line has helped create space that might not have otherwise
been available. Meanwhile, Young is averaging 7.2 assists this season.
四分線幫助拉開了空間，這些在以前是看不到的。在這一季，Young場均有7.2次助攻。
Not every four-point line is the same, though. In Milwaukee, Mike Budenholzer
has made five boxes out of tape around the arc to help the Bucks with their
five-out offense. Having all five players on the perimeter opens up the paint.
大家的四分線長相並不都一模一樣。在公鹿，教練Mike Budenholzer用膠帶在三分線外貼
了五個框框，幫助球員練習他們的"五外"(Five-out)攻擊。當五位球員都站在外圍時，這
拉開禁區的空間。
As Andrews notes, Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo has taken advantage of
these open lanes, leading the league with 55 unassisted dunks. The
next-closest player, Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert, has 23.
如同ESPN記者Andrews所說，公鹿明星Giannis Antetokounmpo著實好好利用這拉開的空
間，本季在灌籃數上，55次，領先聯盟其他球員。排名第二的是爵士的Rudy Gobert，只有
23次。
These days, the four-point line is not just something you see from the Harlem
Globetrotters.
現在的籃球，四分線不是只會出現在哈林花式籃球表演了。
It's becoming a phenomenon around the Association—in various forms.
它現在成為聯盟裡的顯學
