Jazz guard Ricky Rubio’s bizarre defense on James Harden goes viral
爵士後衛Ricky Rubio奇怪的方式守James Harden
The Utah Jazz strategy against the Houston Rockets’ James Harden seems to be
a conscious and deliberate effort in preventing his patented stepback jumpers
and forcing him to go inside. Unfortunately for Ricky Rubio, his intentions
may be a little too obvious.
爵士對付火箭James Harden的策略似乎很明確就是努力避免他用後撤步三分球，要迫使他
往內線去。不過對於Ricky Rubio來說，他這樣的意圖也太明顯了點。
In a clip making the rounds on the internet, the Spaniard picked up the
reigning Most Valuable Player as he crossed the halfcourt line, sticks to his
hip and eventually his back, and rapidly shuffles his feet in a comically
blatant attempt to funnel Harden towards the middle against two Jazz
defenders (anchored by Rudy Gobert).
以下的影片在網路上傳開來，Rubio對上上屆MVP的Harden帶球過半場，他對著Harden的側
面甚至是背後，腳步像是卡通一樣動的很快，很明顯的試圖要把Harden引入中距離位置，
去面對爵士的另外兩位防守者(主要由Rudy Gobert)。

The odd defensive scheme sometimes worked with Harden shooting floaters that
graze the rim (which was the intention all along) but for the most part, it
failed. The 6-foot-5 guard shredded the defense repeatedly, helping the
Rockets connect on 15 three-pointers and was a big part of their 25 team
assists. He also correctly read what the Jazz was planning to do and just
dished to the open shooters to put up the same amount of points they were
trying to prevent in the first place.
這奇怪的防守策略有時候讓Harden上籃沒進(這也是他們本來的意圖)算是奏效，但是大部
分的時候是失敗的。6呎5吋的Harden不停的撕裂爵士的防守，幫助火箭投進了15顆三分
球，更是火箭25次團隊助攻的主要來源。他完全看穿了爵士的意圖，所以他就會把球傳給
其他有空檔的射手群，一樣的拿下爵士本想避免Harden所拿下的分數。
Moving on to Game 2, it’s unclear if Jazz coach Quin Snyder will continue to
stay with this strategy and just gamble on the Rockets missing their outside
shots. If so, we can probably expect more of the same clips as they continue
to roll on the red carpet for Harden in hilarious fashion.
即將面臨Game 2，現在不知道爵士總教頭Quin Snyder會不會繼續用這種賭博的方式，期待
火箭其他射手群失去準頭。如果他們還是決定用同樣的方式話，更多誇張的防守影片大概
會持續爆出來吧。
