76ers' Ben Simmons confident he will develop an effective shooting game: 'I
know it's going to come'
76人Ben Simmons有信心他會培養出有效率的投球：「我知道那會發生的。」
Before the NBA season was suspended indefinitely due to the coronavirus, Ben
Simmons was dealing with a lower back impingement and it was unclear when he
would return for the Philadelphia 76ers' playoff push.
在NBA賽季因為武漢肺炎疫情導致無限期停賽前，Ben Simmons正在處理他的下背問題，那
時還不清楚他到底會不回來的及在季後賽開始前回到隊上幫忙。
While the league remains optimistic about having a postseason, it's unclear
when it would even begin. What we do know is it would start much later than
mid-April, as originally scheduled. This delay could work in Philadelphia's
favor, as it gives Simmons not only additional time to heal, but to also work
on his shot. Even when Simmons returns healthy, questions regarding his lack
of a perimeter game and how that impacts the team will quickly resurface.
儘管聯盟對於是否會有季後賽保持樂觀，但是目前不知道甚麼時候會開始，目前知道的會
是會比原訂的四月中要晚的多。這個延後對76人來說是有利的，這樣會讓Simmons有時間養
傷外，他還可以練一下他的投射。就算當Simmons健康的回來，有關他缺乏外圍投射以及那
對球隊有多少影響的疑問很快就會浮現。
The importance of Simmons developing some semblance of a jump shot in order
for him to reach his full potential as a player, and for the Sixers to reach
their full potential as a team, has been well documented. Sixers All-Star
center Joel Embiid has had conversations with Simmons about stepping out of
his comfort zone for the good of the team. At one point during the season,
Sixers head coach Brett Brown even thought about benching Simmons if he
continued to refuse to shoot.
有關Simmons培養出一些投射能力對於他是否能完全的發展以及對於球隊的發展的重要性是
很明確的。76人中鋒Joel Embiid曾和Simmons討論過，要他踏出舒適圈，這是對球隊有幫
助的。一度在本賽季中，76人教練Brett Brown甚至想過若是他繼續拒絕投射，會考慮讓他
坐板凳。
"I told Ben, 'If you aren't willing to shoot, then do I just bench you?
Because I can do that,'" Brown said, via Jackie MacMullan of ESPN. "We could
have gone that route or continue to coach him as it relates to spacing. We
worked on the ability to use it as a choice to shoot the 3, catch and go, get
in the paint, or find someone else. This was all discussed. I opted to take
this path. I think only down the road will we be able to truly assess if it
was the right one."
「我跟Ben說，『若是你不願意投球，然後我就只好讓你坐板凳？因為我可以那樣做的，」
Brown說。「我們可以就那樣做，或者我們就繼續教他，這是跟拉開空間有關的。我們有在
那方面的能力做訓練，用來當作投三分球的選項，或者catch-and-go，或者打進禁區，或
者就找其他人。這些都有討論過，我選擇用這樣的方式。我認為只有這樣我們才能真正評
估說這樣的方式是否正確。」
Simmons, himself, says a little too much focus is placed on his shot
