Ray Allen: Miami Heat’s secret weapon

CHICAGO — Ray Allen doesn’t like things to change. But when they do,
he can adapt.


for the Miami Heat this season. Despite those career per-game lows,
his per 36-minute averages were comparable to his final three seasons with
the Boston Celtics, and his fourth-quarter statistics are comparable to
any season he had with the Celtics.

因此，是的，他本季在熱火隊的場均"得分"，"籃板"，"助攻"和"出賽時間"，
都低於生涯平均表現。

暫且不論本季低於生涯平均的表現。
以PER36來看，他的數據是能與在塞爾提克隊時，最後三季的場均相符的。
而他的第四節數據表現，也是如此。

He is in an unfamiliar role: off the bench in every game in a season for the
first time. Because of that, he gives the Heat even more depth.

本季在熱火隊，他必須扮演不熟悉的角色:
"生涯第一次，在正規賽季內，每一場都從板凳出發。這加深了熱火板凳深度。"

“He’s given us exactly what we wanted this year,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra
said. “He’s a fourth-quarter killer with the mindset that you have to know
and be aware of where he is at all times in the fourth quarter.”

熱火總教練Erik Spoelstra表示:"本季他的付出，正是我們所需要的。"
                             "他在第四節如殺手般的表現與精神，
                              就如同他整個生涯表現一樣的亮眼。"

While his playing time is down, Allen is a mainstay in the fourth quarter,
when he averages 10 minutes. That’s the highest fourth-quarter average
in his 17-year career.
He averages 4.5 points, his best since 2006-07,
and shoots 42.3% on three-pointers in the fourth.

即使他的上場時間是下降的，但Allen是熱火隊在第四節時的主要戰將。
第四節場均出賽:10分鐘 - 此為Allen在第四節場均出賽時間的生涯新高。
而他的最佳生涯第四節場均得分:4.5Pts與42.3%的三分命中率，是在06-07年球季。

“He creates more space for our best players,” Spoelstra said.

熱火總教練Erik Spoelstra表示:"他為隊上最佳的球員們創造更大的進攻空間。"

A creature of his well-established routine,
Allen had to step out of his comfort zone.
He warmed to Miami, the Heat and his role.

Allen並須跳脫出他的舒適區，以及自我建立的打球慣性。
他溫暖了邁阿密，熱火隊，以及他的角色。

For starters, he signed with Miami knowing he would be a reserve.
Before this season, Allen had started in 1,140 of 1,148 regular-season games.
He didn’t start once in 79 appearances this season.

一開始與熱火隊簽約時，他就知道他將在隊上扮演替補球員的角色。
而本季開打前，Allen已先發了1140場比賽，在他生涯正規賽季內的1148比賽中。
他本季僅僅只先發出賽了3場。

“The ultimate for me was just getting used to coming off the bench,”
Allen said. “I had to re-tool how I prepare, how I get my body ready.
It was a fun process, but it was also a process I had to understand and learn.”

Ray Allen表示:"對我而言最大的變化，就是必須習慣在板凳出發。"

bench ready to go.

他已改變了他的賽前訓練，並已經掌握從板凳出發的訣竅。

Celtics coach Doc Rivers moved Allen to the bench last season,
and though unhappy with it, Allen started to accept his future role
as his career approaches the end.

塞爾提克隊總教練Doc Rivers曾在上季把Ray Allen轉移到替補陣容，
即使一開始Allen有些不開心，但他開始接受自己職業生涯末期的角色。

He didn’t leave Boston simply because he was going to come off the bench.

當然他並不是因為被轉移至替補陣容，而離開賽爾提克隊的。

"It's a little more complicated than that.
I knew I was coming off the bench either way.
I wasn't mad I was coming off the bench there," Allen said.
"I just knew I was coming off the bench one way or the other.
Offensively, who was giving me the ability to help and impact the team?
Clearly for me, it was here.
I was hoping I was putting myself in a good situation and so far,
it's been that."

Ray Allen表示:"這比單純擔任替補複雜一些，因為我也知道總有一天會發生。"


                   但進攻端上，哪個團隊能夠給我能力去幫助並影響球隊?

                   很明顯地，是熱火隊。"

                  "我希望當時有把我的狀況調整到最好。

He also had to fit in with new teammates.
"I just watched and saw how guys did things and tried to adapt and
ingratiated myself as much as I could and they accepted me," Allen said.
"They allowed me to have a place, and I felt very welcomed from the start.

ALLEN已經能融入整個新球隊與隊友(熱火)。



              "他們讓我在球隊有一席之地，而打從一開始我就受到他們的熱烈歡迎。"
