【公牛三分王(3)】卡爾「做牛做馬」五冠加身 冷血射手You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow!

Steve Kerr的射球,是多位射手中孤線最漂亮的一個

因為工作和興趣關係,有機會接觸來自各地的籃球員,有的天賦極高,有的身材輸蝕,不少由學界開始睇起,去到最後,能夠打出名堂的並不一定是天賦最高,而是能否不斷練習,提昇智慧,能夠在不斷的練習及比賽中更了解球賽。去到NBA級數,一個射手除了要有天賦,每日勤於練習,至少射500球以上,最重要是心理質素。不似今日的射手如Stephen Curry或James Harden,既是主力也提控衛,基本上有絕大的球權,可以想起手就起手;在九十年代,大部份的射手都要仰賴控衛傳送,他們每場可能只有不多於10次的起手機會,如果你是後備,更分分鐘坐了大半場板凳後,才被教練派下場,然後在雙手還是冰冷時射出最後一擊。

要是心理質素不夠,那未起手已肯定受影響而射失。這令我想起井上雄彥老師的《Buzzer Beater》,入面的射手馬爾就是因為心理質素太差,在落後兩分時得到三記罰球,卻射失了前兩球,最後一球要故意不入,卻又射入了而累死球隊。射手因心理質素不夠而打不出水準,絕非奇事,因為要在關鍵時刻射入,心理質素比技術還重要。Michael Jordan說過,生涯射失了9,000球,也輸掉了300場比賽,有26次關鍵一擊不入,但這世上只有一個MJ,要是普通的射手屢射不入,可能幾年後已在聯盟消失。所以我一直認為Reggie Miller的級數,比起Stephen Curry更高,如果我們說的是最後一擊的話,我一定會選連MJ也可推開的米拿!他在98年東岸決賽第4戰那球三分波,絕對是我心目中的三大經典last shot!

卡爾小檔案
Steve Kerr
身高:6呎3吋(1.9m)
體重:180磅(82 KG)
位置:Point Guard
效力球隊:太陽(88–89)、騎士(89–92)、魔術(92–93)、公牛(93–98)、
馬刺(98–01)、拓荒者(01-02)、馬刺(92-03
生涯數據:6分、1.2個籃板、1.3次助攻、45.4%三分命中率、49.4兩分命中率
主要成就:5次總冠軍、三分大賽冠軍

效力公牛的5季,卡爾有兩季的三分命中率逾5成,而最差的一季也有41.9%;作為三分專家,他每場起手的比例幾乎是1:1,即每射兩球波,就有一球是三分,在當時來講已是異數,因為真的三分專家不多。不過在得分由MJ、Scottie Pippen和Toni Kukoc瓜分下,卡爾每場比賽的起手機會大約是6次,所以公牛那幾年大約有8分的平均分,已是相當了不起,簡直是You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow的現實版。

真正的射手,必先透過無數磨練而成,Steve Kerr至今仍是NBA史上最準的射手,以45.4%力壓Stephen Curry、Klay Thompson、Drazen Petrovic和Steve Nash等人,相當不易。可是大家也清楚,比起一場起手超過20次而仍能保持4成以上命中率的得分後衛,卡爾那時要做的較少,難度也較低。正如米拿,他生涯大部份時間都在跑,與對手捉迷藏似的在人群單擋中穿梭,然後突然走出來接過傳球,高高躍起出手;反觀卡爾就是典型的catch-and-shoot,當MJ和柏賓已吸引了所有人的注意力,他就能扮演一個在高處埋伏的狙擊手,最重要是準、準、準。

“The ability to shoot from different levels. Catch-and-shoot. Come off a screen and shoot. Create and shoot off the dribble. The perfect shooter in the modern game does those three things. I think we’ve got three guys who do that,” Kerr said.

講就容易,但要真的在危急關頭仍能百發百中,相當不易,在公牛以外,卡爾在馬刺03年封王之旅中,亦貢獻良多,當年他已是37歲,上陣時間也減少到12.7分鐘,可是只要他落場,就沒有人敢放空。在2003年西岸決賽第6戰面對宿敵小馬,馬刺在第4節打出34:9的誇張比數而大勝90:78晉級總決賽,而卡爾就是在短短的13分06秒上陣時間中,以4射4中取得12分,+21也是全場最高。計及回巢的這一季,他在馬刺4季而兩奪冠軍,也成了馬刺beautiful basketball的重要一環,那超高拋物線出手,甚至是Steve Nash也自歎不如。那時的Tony Parker,還只能乖乖為卡爾拍手掌打氣呢!

Kawhi早年罰球平平,Chip幫助他不少

能夠在這個年紀仍能作出貢獻,當然是要不斷的苦練。在公牛時期,卡爾的練習數量沒有正式的文章記載,只有在Bill Wennington的自傳中透露,為了贏得三分賽,他在練習後就會留下來自發加操,而他的老友如Luc Longley、Bill Wennington及Jud Buechler等就會留下來幫手執波,最後果然如願,在1997年贏得冠軍。當卡爾去到最後兩季,即效力拓荒者和馬刺時,因為年紀漸大,所以上陣時間大大減少,每場只有11、12分鐘,卡爾明顯不習慣,所以命中率也下降不少,兩季都低於4成。卡爾為此求助於馬刺的射球教練Chip Engelland,果然成功改善,能夠在最後一季的季後賽仍有好表現,與Chip的幫忙有極大關係。

對卡爾這種輔助型射手來說,他們很少有波在手,在比賽時會不斷地來回跑,走出空位,然後又全力回防,可能跑了幾轉,然後籃球傳到,即時起手;假如射失兩球,很可能就要坐回後備席,如是者無限輪迴。Chip就因應這情況而制訂了練習,首先由球場的後備席跑到對面的三分線牛角位,起手一次,然後跑回後備席,之後重覆六次,作為熱身;每次是3至4組,要求是至少射入4球。這個練習針對「第一次起手」,因為有時你在未熱夠身時落場,要射入第一球最困難。Chip也要求球員每次聽到卡爾大叫名字(這個叫Kerr Shooting練習),就要放下手上一切,就算是在飲水,又或練習運球,總之就全力衝向他,然後接過傳球起手。有時Chip會要求接波即寫,有時就要加上運球,又或模擬全場盯人,親自防守。

“The problem is that game shots are always the “first shot.” You don’t get any warm-up shots. Any shooter knows that the feeling of shooting that first shot is different than shooting the second and third.” Chip Engelland said.

除了以上練習,Chip要求卡爾每日在指定的4至5個位置,每個點射200球,即每日1,000球之多。正如當年Penny的廣告所說,He shoots five hundred times a day, just like you ?

難怪卡爾可以成為籃球史上最出名的綠葉型射手之一,既有實力也有冠軍命,計及退休後出任勇士教練的三冠,甚至比「指環王」Robert Horry的7冠還要多出一冠呢!

“We used to have a contest,” Kerr said of his time with the Bulls. “We’d shoot from the hash mark on the sideline at the end of every shootaround, about four of us, maybe five of us, and at the end of shootaround we’d start launching shots from there, and whoever made the shot first won, and Michael saw us doing it, and he just had to be involved.

“So he came down and started getting into the contest every day, and before you knew it, it was for money, and he was usually winning. That was sort of a typical Michael story, like he just craved the competition, and I think he loved the interaction, loved the whole idea of competing in any form. It’s kind of what made him who he was.”

大家如有興趣,大可找兩個朋友幫忙,簡單地在兩邊底線起步,跑到對面的三分線接波起手;回程時先跑到射籃一方的底線,再跑到對面的籃框起手。如是者重覆約十次,就明白難度之高。Steve Kerr不是Peja Stojakovic,他只是6呎3吋高,所以起手的時機一定要準,才可避過對手干擾,所以就算在場邊,他一定要仔細觀察防守一方的分佈,如此才能準確接過傳球,有機會起手。很多球員在場邊時總是不集中,結果落場後要花上一段時間才能進入狀態,在NBA,遲幾分鐘入局已足以致命。
