Draymond Green is the epitome of the evolution of how big men in the NBA play today. Although he stands only 6’6〃, the power forward plays with a ferocity and tenacity that make him one of the most feared defenders in the league. In addition, he’s also an adept playmaker, capable of grabbing a rebound and initiating the offense himself, finding his favorite target, Steph Curry, or any teammate for that matter, on the perimeter or inside for easy buckets. Another thing that Dray is known for is his willingness to mix it up with anyone on the court. Whether it’s LeBron James, Domantas Sabonis or Santi Aldama, he never hesitates to make his presence felt, whether it’s through a physical altercation or some good, old verbal warfare. However, former All-Star and renowned tough guy Charles Oakley doesn’t believe Dray’s style of play would have allowed him to thrive in the previous era, asserting that an opponent would simply have taken him out to shut him up. Draymond Green是現代NBA大個子球員比賽風格演變的典範。儘管他身高僅有6尺6，這位 大前鋒卻憑藉著兇猛的鬥志與執著的態度，成為聯盟中最令人畏懼的防守球員之一。 此外，他還是一位嫻熟的組織者，不僅能搶下籃板後親自發動進攻，還能精準找到他最愛 的傳球目標Steph Curry，無論隊友處在外線還是內線，都能為其創造輕鬆得分的機會。 Green為人熟知的另一點是他在場上敢於與任何對手對抗的態度。無論面對的是LeBron James、Domantas Sabonis還是Santi Aldama，他從不猶豫地要讓對方感受到自己的存在 無論是通過身體對抗，還是用那些經典的「垃圾話」展開心理較量。 然而，素有「硬漢」之稱的Charles Oakley卻認為，Green的比賽風格若置於從前的時代， 恐怕難以脫穎而出。他斷言當時的對手會用更強硬的方式制服他，讓他閉嘴。 First off, Oak speculated that in an era marked by unchecked physicality and leniency on fouls, Green would have had a tougher time asserting himself as the big dog in the yard, primarily because there were so many other big dogs that would have been more than happy to take him down a peg or two. “All that trash-talking and fighting he be doing on the court, that wouldn’ t fly in the ’90s,” Oak stated. “No. No. No. No. No. He’d have been just like Barkley — somebody would’ve hit him in the mouth. No, it wouldn’t have worked.” Secondly, Oakley added that Green’s passing skills wouldn’t have been as effective, as NBA teams played a more plodding style that relied more on post-play and isolation actions, rather than the fast-paced, off-the-ball movement offenses of today. “The ’90s style didn’t fit his game. He’s more of like a dribble-handoff guy, pin-down — everybody running, you know, pin-down for Curry, all this Oakley revealed that he tried to watch the NBA Playoffs series between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets and admitted he didn’t last long, especially when he saw Alperen Sengun routinely get bullied by Green.and that,” he explained. “It would’ve been different.” “Ain’t no tough guys in the league. These seven-footers in the league now they all soft. You know, when a 6’7〃 guy can check themself and be consistent, get into him or whatever, they don’t fight him,” Oak assessed. “You know, every time Draymond checked him, he just shot a fadeaway. He was scared.” 首先，Oakley推測90年代的NBA以肢體碰撞不受限制與寬鬆的吹判為標誌，在那個年代 Green很難憑藉自身實力成為賽場上的一方之霸，主要原因在於當時聯盟中不乏實力更強 的「硬漢」，他們會很樂於教訓Green，讓他收斂銳氣。 Oakley明確表示：「他在場上那些說垃圾話、與人對抗的行為在90年代根本行不通，絕對 不行。他的下場會像Barkley一樣直接被揍，總有人會讓他吃點苦頭。所以，他那套打法在 當時肯定不管用。其次，Green的傳球能力在90年代也很難發揮效用。因為當時的球隊比 賽節奏緩慢，戰術更依賴內線背身單打與單打進攻，與現代聯盟講求快節奏、無球跑位的 進攻體系截然不同。」 「90年代的比賽風格根本不適合他，他擅長的是『手遞手傳球』、『擋拆掩護』這類戰 術，所有人都在跑動，為Curry做掩護等等。但在90年代，比賽模式完全是另一回事。」 Oakley透露，他曾觀看勇士隊與火箭隊的季後賽，但他承認沒看多久，尤其是當他看到 Alperen Sengun頻頻被Green欺負時。 「現在的聯盟裡根本沒有真正的硬漢，聯盟中的那些7尺大個子都是軟蛋。要知道，當一 個6尺7寸的球員能穩定地限制他們、對他們施加壓力時，這些大個子甚至都不敢反擊。 每次Green對Sengun施加對抗時，Sengun就選擇後仰跳投，他怕了。」 來源:https://reurl.cc/qK1ZD3 Oakley出來說好像蠻有說服力的 不知道Green會不會在播客上回應 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.231.81.163 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://webptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1762855529.A.20F.html
