Tyler Herro wanted to be Heat’s No. 1 option. Now he’s learning how hard it is https://reurl.cc/9DD06n Herro’s time came as the Butler saga unfolded and the franchise felt like it was unraveling. With Butler suspended multiple times, there was no doubt the H eat’s offense was now Herro’s to run. But ascending to that role in the midd le of a power struggle between personalities as combustible as Butler and Pat Riley was not how Herro envisioned things. 隨著吉巴事件的展開，這支球隊感覺開始分崩離析，英雄的時代也隨之而來。由於吉巴多 次被禁賽，毫無疑問熱火的進攻現在由英雄主導。但是在吉巴和油頭這樣性格火爆的人物 之間權力鬥爭的背景下擔任這一角色並不是英雄所設想的那樣。 Herro and the Heat eventually figured it out, making it through the Play-In To urnament to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round. They even showed signs of life in a close Game 2 loss in Cleveland. But Miami’s light dimmed S aturday as the Cavs successfully disconnected Herro from the offense he is tas ked with orchestrating. 英雄和熱火最終找到了解決辦法，通過附加賽在第一輪對陣騎士。他們甚至在騎士以微弱 差距輸掉的第二場比賽中也表現出了復甦的跡象。但在周六，隨著騎士成功封鎖英雄，邁 阿密的光芒黯淡了下來。 The Heat’s All-Star guard spent much of the 124-87 Game 3 loss — the most lo psided playoff defeat in franchise history — swimming through a sea of bodies , unable to find the ball as Miami fell into a 3-0 series hole. 英雄在第三場比賽中大部分時間都無法接到球，最終以124-87的比分輸掉了比賽——這是 球隊歷史上季後賽最慘痛的失利——熱火在這場系列賽後以0-3 落後。 Now Herro faces a distinct crossroads, wanting to prove he can lead a team in the postseason while reflecting on what could have been if Butler never forced his way out. 現在，英雄面臨著一個明顯的十字路口，他想要證明自己可以在季後賽中帶領一支球隊， 同時也反思如果吉巴沒有強行離開，球隊的命運會如何。 “Obviously, I know I need Jimmy to win. If we had Jimmy right now, I feel lik e it’d be a completely different situation,” Herro told The Athletic before Game 3. “We probably wouldn’t even be the eighth seed. So finding that middl e balance of like, damn, we need him, but also understanding, sh–, that’s hi s career and what he wants is ultimately his right to want what he wants. It w as just tough to be in the middle of both sides.” 英雄在G3賽前表示：很明顯，我知道為了贏球我需要吉巴，如果我們現在有吉巴在隊裡， 我感覺會是一個完全不同的情況，我們很可能都不會是八號種子球隊。我們需要他但是也 要理解這是他的職業生涯，要在這兩者之間找到中間的平衡點，他想要他想要的東西，這 是他的權利，所以身處這兩者之間很難。 Herro entered the season assuming a locker room leadership role alongside Bam Adebayo. He reflected on the lessons he learned from Butler over the course of his career, trying to replicate a leadership paradigm that kept the Heat comp etitive with Butler at the helm. 本賽季開始後，英雄與阿爹一起擔任更衣室領導角色。他回顧了職業生涯中從吉巴身上學 到的經驗教訓，試圖複製在吉巴的領導下讓熱火隊保持競爭力的領導模式。 “I’ve known Jimmy for five, six years, obviously being with him every day, j ust seeing how he is as a basketball player and how he really makes his teamma tes better,” Herro said. “He makes the right play all the time, just seeing that competitive edge that he brought.” 英雄：我認識吉巴有五、六年了，每天都和他在一起，見證他作為籃球運動員的表現，以 及他如何讓隊友變得更好，他總是能做出正確的打法，這體現了他所帶來的競爭優勢。 But from the beginning of Game 3, that wall was back and sturdier than ever. W hether it was Herro’s former teammate Max Strus top-locking him inside the 3- point arc or Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley stifling all the other a ctions to get the ball toward Herro, Cleveland caused the Heat offense to comp letely collapse and erased their hopes of making this a series along with it. G3開始，這堵更堅固的牆擋在英雄面前。無論是英雄的前隊友Max Strus在三分線內將他 鎖死，還是年度最佳防守球員Evan Mobley阻止其他人將球傳給英雄，克里夫蘭都讓熱火 的進攻徹底崩潰，並徹底打碎了他們贏得系列賽的希望。 The Cavaliers defense increased its ball pressure on Adebayo to prevent him fr om finding cutters underneath. That worked in tandem with denying Herro, keepi ng him away from the Adebayo handoffs that have become Herro’s calling card t he past few seasons. 騎士的防守加大了對阿爹的施壓，以防止他找到低位切入者。這一招與阻止英雄接球同時 起作用，使他遠離阿爹的傳球。 Herro should be better prepared for this moment. Last season, the Heat lost Bu tler before their first-round series against the Celtics, and Herro showed fla shes of the game he exhibited throughout this season. The Boston series was a turning point for Herro, as he finally got a chance to be the offensive engine . Having the likes of Boston’s Jrue Holiday, Jaylen Brown and Derrick White t ake turns guarding him was a test that would force any emerging star to sink o r swim. 英雄應該為這一刻做好更好的準備。上賽季，熱火在首輪對陣塞爾提克之前失去了吉巴， 而英雄在本賽季展現了他出色的比賽狀態。波士頓系列賽對英雄來說是一個轉捩點，因為 他終於有機會成為進攻引擎。波士頓的假日、杰倫和小白等人輪流防守他，對於任何一位 新星來說都是一場考驗，讓他要嘛沉淪，要嘛崛起。 “It gave me an outline of what works and what doesn’t work against some of t he better defenders,” Herro said. “And how I can transform my game and take the good parts of my game and just continue to make it better.” 英雄：它讓我了解了在面對一些更優秀的防守球員時什麼方法有效，什麼方法無效，以及 我如何改變我的比賽方式，發揮我比賽中的優點，並不斷使其變得更好。 While Herro still has a ways to go to perform at the level he and the Heat wan t in the postseason, he is more than willing to face the criticism. He embrace s it. Whether it was Heat President Pat Riley calling him fragile for only pla ying 40 games last season or Darius Garland saying the Cavs’ gameplan was to drive right at him, Herro is used to having people calling him out. 儘管英雄距離在季後賽中達到他和熱火隊所期望的水準還有很長的路要走，但他非常願意 面對批評。他欣然接受。無論是熱火隊總裁油頭稱他上賽季只打了 40 場比賽，顯得脆弱 ，還是Garland說騎士隊的比賽計劃就是直接攻擊他，英雄已經習慣了別人對他的批評。 “I love it. That’s how I grew up. So that’s my natural habitat, fiery, just talking sh– and understanding that it’s basketball,” Herro said. “Just ta lking sh– about basketball bro. It’s not the end of the world.” 英雄：我愛籃球。我就是這樣長大的，所以這就是我的天性，熱情奔放，我明白這就是籃 球，只是聊聊籃球的事，又不是世界末日。 Herro said Riley’s criticism pushed him to work more on his body this past of fseason than ever before. He understood Riley is old school and will say it to his face and to the world. “I could call myself fragile as well and not be i n my feelings,” Herro said. 英雄說油頭的批評促使他在過去的休賽期比以往更加重視身體鍛鍊。他明白油頭是老派的 ，並會當著油頭的面、向全世界宣告這一點。 「我也可以稱自己為脆弱，但我不會表達 自己的感情，」。 Adebayo said he has always had respect for Herro, but the resilience the guard showed through all the noise the past year solidified it. So with Herro limit ed to just 13 points in Game 3, Adebayo wasn’t concerned about the All-Star f olding with the team’s backs against the wall. 阿爹表示，他一直很尊重英雄，但這位後衛在過去一年中克服重重困難所表現出的韌性進 一步鞏固了這份尊重。因此，由於英雄在第三場比賽中僅得到13分，阿爹並不擔心這位全 明星球員會在球隊陷入困境時退縮。 “I’ve seen Tyler go through worse,” Adebayo said. “The media has drug that man through the mud a lot. … We’re going to figure it out. Be vocal, eye-to -eye communication and see what happens Monday.” 阿爹：我見過英雄經歷過更糟糕的事情，媒體把那個人抹黑了好幾次。我們會弄清楚的， 保持溝通，面對面交流，看看周一會發生什麼。 “All the really good players have to go through this,” Spoelstra said. “You get schemed and the schemes are on steroids in the playoffs.” 濕婆：所有真正優秀的球員都必須經歷這個，在季後賽中，你會被陰謀詭計所籠罩，而且 這些陰謀詭計會變得更加厲害。 “Hell yeah, that’s how it works,” Herro said. “That’s part of the game. T hat’s life.” 英雄：當然，就是這樣的，這就是比賽的一部分，這就是生活。 短評或心得： 熱火沒了吉巴很艱難 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 114.45.152.121 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://webptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1745731746.A.CCA.html ※ 編輯: Wojnarowski (114.45.152.121 臺灣), 04/27/2025 13:29:24 ※ 編輯: Wojnarowski (114.45.152.121 臺灣), 04/27/2025 13:29:51
