JOHN  KEATS: the lavender in sunsets, flowers in the rain, sunlight slipping through clouds, lazy summer afternoons, the heavy scent of musk, flickering candlelight reflecting off the gold titles of books, fireflies on a cool summer night, being wrapped in fresh bedsheets, the ache of wanting what you can never have, dripping sunlight like gold, loving someone so exquisite, soft lips and soft whispers, fingers through hair, names of lovers carved in trees, broken glass, the insistence of being perpetually dreamy.

F.  SCOTT  FITZGERALD: mahogany wood, crisp winter skies with cold bright stars, the solitude of an early autumn morning wrapped in fog, empty bottles on stacks and stacks of books haphazardly placed in a messy room, pale bruised arms reaching out into the darkness, cigarette smoke just barely hiding the scent of alcohol, a wall of books all poetry and old and weathered, a bad thunderstorm occurring at the end of a beautiful day, the way tragedy strikes in your heart but ends up stopping your breathing for a moment, your favorite sweater, parties spilling into four a.m. with the stars above spinning and dancing, the contrast of blood against snow, a purple split lip oozing blood, black eyes fading to blue to pale skin, the butterflies of falling in love for the first time, the statues falling apart over time in cemeteries, the romanticization of self-destruction

FRANZ  KAFKA: the weight of dread that sits heavily in your stomach when thinking about the future, decrepit houses cloaked in mystery from children telling stories of people who died there, the way not even light can escape a black hole, the rich smell of old books, delicate veins in the wrist, ghosts filling lungs, shattered bones, raindrops on the tongue, rusting metal, nostalgia that aches, the way hope feels like a plastic bag over your head

H.P.  LOVECRAFT: the anxiety felt when staring into an unknown cave, pouring rain and mud, a child’s fear of the dark, thinking so many questions about your existence as you stare at the vast expanse of never ending ocean, the silence of three a.m., danse macabre by camille saint-saens playing on a record in an empty house, the possibility of aliens and the weird feeling it gives you that you can’t explain, unexplainable phenomena, strange lights in the sky in the dead of night, ouija boards and urban legends

JACK  KEROUAC: the brisk pine air of being on a mountain, travels without a destination, those nights where you’re missing three hours of memory, screaming to a lifeless desert about how you’re so alive, coffee shops late at night, car rides at night spent speeding and laughing in the dark, naps spent in the sun, novels highlighted and underlined with notes and epiphanies in the margins, the way uncertainty sits on the shoulders, ignoring flaws and loving life, wind through hair, depression as fog in the brain, impossible ideals, a quiet sunrise, walks alone, when you think about trying to discover all the secrets to the universe, dazzling people, open lands stretching out into infinity, falling in love with being alive.

EDGAR  ALLAN  POE: the ocean’s horizon inseparable from fog, hollow bones, a preserved heart held in hands, twinkling stars above an old graveyard, the way everything turns to dust, silent black birds with eyes full of wisdom, self-inflicted flames, perfection depicted as a rotting corpse, death as bricks in the heart, lips barely brushing against each other, glassy glazed eyes, biting into a lemon, heart-shaped bruises, rotting flowers on a grave, dried blood and spilled liquor, the hush of dusk when it begins raining, the intimacy of a secret.

《2017-18 Review》猶他爵士隊-跌宕起伏的狂亂球季

文／ monmo

1.球季簡述

回望2017-18球季，全聯盟大概沒有一支球隊，如猶他爵士般，有著如此大落大起的跌宕表現。

Hayward與G.Hill夏天離隊之後，爵士面臨群龍無首的新局，領起頂薪的Gobert固然被認定為新核心，但始終於進攻端力有未逮，加上大幅換血的陣容磨合不力與傷兵問題，這支去年闖進西區第二輪，眼看榮耀再起的球隊，經歷悽慘難熬的12月後，一度搖墜到看似又要推倒重來。1月中勝率甚至一度跌破4成(17勝26敗)，離季後賽球隊多達5場勝差，球隊氣氛低潮、球員定位不明、教練固執己見，比賽內容也彷彿千篇一律的複製貼上。

＊Gobert短暫復出旋又受傷下場的一幕，開啟了爵士上半季漫長的黑暗時光

沒有人能料到，那支低迷不堪，眼看早早與季後賽絕緣的球隊，能在2個月半後一度���進西區四強！雖然上半球季挖的坑實在太大，讓Gobert歸隊、明星賽後的爵士儘管急起直追，從12/27-3/11打出近7成勝率(期間22勝11敗，一度11連勝)，仍穩穩坐牢不動如山的『爵十』大位，毫無寸進；但在絕不放棄的繼續追趕下，花了2個半月時間總算有了突破，最終並於季末打回近6成勝率(58.5%)、西區NO.5(48勝34敗)佳績，一舉闖進季後賽！

挾帶下半季表現最佳球隊之一的勢頭，爵士續於季後賽創造驚喜，首輪低種子苦戰雷霆三巨頭，普遍不被看好情況下，在Mithchell力挽狂瀾、歷史級新人的表現下，居然闖關成功！雖然第二輪因Rubio傷退且Mitchell亦帶傷情況下，沒辦法帶給火箭更完整強大的戰力對抗，但在失去兩位前季主將、季中一度慘澹情況下，爵士仍能回到去年西區第二輪位置，已屬難能可貴。而能在失去球隊長年培養的主將後，馬上得到一位更適合擔任球隊領袖的未來核心，還能有什麼更振奮人心的消息呢？

＊本季的最大收穫：未來少主Donovan Mitchell

2.本季缺失

由於前半季的爵士戰績與場上表現實在太差，所以跟其他作者不同，爵士的撰寫更適合由缺失說起。整個球季其實一言以蔽之『敗也Snyder，成也Snyder』。這位年輕主帥固然以下半季的奇蹟，後來於COY票選中榮獲亞軍，但其實上半季的慘澹，他同樣需負起相當程度的責任。 Hayward轉瞬離開，但Snyder的整個體系在季初似乎還是以類似哲學打造，側翼進攻為主，講求不斷的團隊導球與空檔投射，可在主力換角後，一樣的Meta自然很難使用。堪用的空間四號Jerebko初期被棄用，Rubio一度被迫更像是無球跑動射手，並屢屢於第四節乾坐冷板凳；頂薪的Gobert進攻依舊拙劣，改了Meta後缺人餵餅��缺點浮現，動輒奶油手、射程短且缺乏進攻技巧，固執讓���繼續主攻的效果不佳，且讓更勝任低位進攻的Favors被迫離開擅長區域，得改去底角當埋伏射手。戰術端更是去年如出一轍的手遞手無限傳導，不適應的陣容演變成互丟炸彈的低效進攻，用人方面並且好惡分明，上半季在這般調度執教下的混亂失據，主帥自然則無旁貸。

＊上半季雙衛尚待磨合，加上戰績不佳，如此嚴肅的場面屢見不鮮

在Gobert第一次受傷後，Snyder被迫改以Favors主打中鋒與檔拆進攻，球隊一度起色，但短暫Gobert回歸後，球隊進攻又回到無限導傳手遞手的泥沼(所以也才有了Mitchell的亮眼突破)，甚至直到他再次回傷兵名單依舊，當最困苦的12月賽程結束，整支猶他爵士簡直可以用被打暈來形容，許多場都堪稱近年來看了最無言、無奈的比賽。

猶幸下半季，這些缺失大多數都獲得了改進，Snyder的執教風格固然有固執一面(包括用人方面：第二輪對戰火箭時不得不從冰庫中起用的Exum與A.Burks，雙雙繳出漂亮表現)，但一段時間無效後，他仍有勇氣做出調整-即便那調整宛如在打過去自己的臉也面不改色，所以2017-18球季的猶他爵士，從季初到季後賽，打法可說轉了好幾折，還好，最後仍趕得及找到正軌，也有了個Happy Ending。

＊平常甚少喜形如色的主帥Snyder，也難得在闖過第一輪後，露出如釋重負的笑容擁抱大將Mitchell

3.本季亮點

整季過去，爵士有幾個亮點可以特別推薦： (1)少主登基：一個僅13順位的新人，最後榮獲ROY第二名，甚至以季後賽的表現榮登許多人眼中真正的新人王，Mitchell無疑是上季爵士最大的收穫與亮點，即使Gobert��是防守中樞與頂薪核心，外界眼中爵士未來幾年的真正王牌，已非Mitchell莫屬。���握住球隊動盪時刻的側翼上場時間機會，Mitchell一步步從站穩先發到頭號得分手，不過半季時間，但他屢屢打出比肩史詩級球星新人年的表現，甚至於季後賽大戰Westbrook與Harden也毫無懼色，加上謙虛樂觀的人格特質，筆者相當慶幸，塞翁失馬焉知非福，爵士球迷早已把Hayward拋在腦後。

＊2017年底對雷霆之戰，三巨頭賽後一齊走向圍繞Mitchell給予肯定，絕對是本季的經典畫面

延伸閱讀： 可能是下一個 Mitchell？誰能成為 18-19 新秀大黑馬

(2)快樂的Rubio：季初定位的掙扎，一度也讓Rubio的球迷擔心，這是不是又是另一個失望的球季。不過隨著傷兵問題以及控球權的修正，在找到前半季狂練Rubio擔任射手與控衛本色的平衡之後，加上與Mitchell的良好配合、Gobert接球的漸入佳境，Rubio逐漸也扮演起爵士的核心要角，固然Mitchell一定是最亮眼的那位得分手，但下半季Rubio主導球隊勝負的影響力，絲毫不遜色於任何一位隊友。更重要者，默契漸入佳境後，贏球治百病，在爵士我們看到了進NBA以來最快樂打球、命中率與得分也都來到生涯年的西班牙天才控衛，可以樂觀期待，在篤定的明年與很可能的未來，Rubio還將於爵士打上幾年開心籃球。

＊隨著戰績與個人融合漸入佳境並闖入季後賽，這肯定是Rubio闖蕩NBA以來最快樂的時光

(3)逐漸成形的雙塔：Gobert的強大禁區威嚇力，讓球隊即使在小球時代，也很難放棄以他為核心主力，但如果還打舊時代的雙塔，恐怕聯盟多數球隊都會卻步。不過經���了一整年的實驗與磨合，加上球員的努力，敬業且仍在年年低調進步的好球員/好學長Favors，總算開始贏得球隊的雙塔信心，並組堪稱聯盟48分鐘的最佳禁區防守組合。固然Snyder本質仍愛用偏小球組合，多數賽事依舊偏好使用大號搖擺人打小球大前鋒(尤其是交易後的Crowder)，但Favors毫無怨言的接受了主帥的所有調度要求，也踏實地逐漸把射程練到三分線外，西區首輪終於看到更長時間搭檔的雙塔，Favors攻克Carmelo的對位也成為致勝關鍵之一，在他已確定續約的來年，我們亦同樣可以樂觀期待，一組更加契合高效的強力雙塔。

＊總說小球時代雙塔已經過時，但Gobert+Favors仍逐步成形，堪稱聯盟最具防守威嚇的禁區防線

(4)又一未選秀奇蹟Royce O'Neale：掩蓋在Mitchell燦爛的新人光芒之下，其實爵士上季還有另一位不錯的新人O'Neale。小市場因素，猶他爵士一直有從二輪甚至未選秀拔擢優秀球員的慧眼傳統，近年如Millsap、W.Matthews與Carroll都是範例，最新小學弟就是這位未選秀搖擺人，渡過了季初的生澀，O'Neale靠著賣力防守、適當3D角色球員定��(三分命中率35.6%)以及看的見的進步，慢慢取代不受主帥待用的Hood，成為穩定的側翼替補，01/05號後甚至獲得全勤且穩定的出場時間(最終新秀年就場均出賽16.7分鐘)，更出色的是，記取過去教訓，總管Lidsay逢低買進，早早就跟他以3年底薪簽約-菜鳥年就成為值得信賴防守小鎖與主力側翼替補，還可以便宜用3年的球員，怎能不是亮點？

(5)管家變員外的Ingles：原本是爵士找來陪Exum的澳洲老鄉，原本是爵士預期替補Hayward的小前鋒，Ingles不斷的從公親變事主，從陪少爺成長的管家變成現在自己就是員外。上個賽季頂替成為先發小前鋒後，打出生涯年11.5分4.2籃板4.8��攻1.1抄截的全能身手，季中並且數次站上聯盟三分命中率王寶座(最後排NO.5)，甚至連防守端都成為Durant口中少數防守他頗有成效的球員。一個曾經可能就要離開聯盟的邊緣人，甚至去年續約都不乏關於替補薪資是否過高的討論，現在卻成為一個如此實用且CP值高的堅韌先發(外掛引領風潮的嘲諷臉)，著實是爵士的幸運亮點。

＊堪稱本季爵士之顏的這張圖，已傳遍世界各地

(6)找回自己的Jae Crowder：離開塞爾提克的風光，被交易至騎士的Crowder一度鬱鬱寡歡，在茶壺內的風暴中顯得迷茫。但轉至父親也曾效力過的爵士隊，卻彷彿找回了曾經眼中的光采。平心而論，他在爵士的數據並沒有比騎士時期好上多少，甚至從主要先發成為固定替補，可觀看場上的表現，實在比起在克里夫蘭時要明朗許多，球隊賦予他頭號大鎖的任務，在喜打小球的Snyder麾下，雖非先發卻往往是第四節關鍵時刻留在場上的小號PF，且成為球場上最激情最捍衛隊友的Energy Guy，這筆交易對雙方無疑都是雙贏，Crowder重返榮耀，爵士則在Sefolosha傷退且Joe Johnson年邁情況下，復得到可遊走於兩個位置、適合小球調度的前鋒，對於下半季爵士戰績的提振，亦有非凡貢獻。

4.選秀狀況

區區一個21順位新人，卻因他大學時期的高度爭議性，甚至比狀元郎更為人所討論，他就是2018爵士新秀Grayson Allen。大學時期��然天成的各種小動作-甚至幾次大動作，讓Grayson Allen成為外界眼中的危險份子，甚至爵士新少主Mitchell都跟他有過一段恩怨，但也是這份求勝意志，讓Mitchell主動跟總管推薦，成為新的猶他成員。球團在面試他時已口頭告誡，入NBA後要戒慎恐懼，不要再引發爭議，但光一個出賽數因傷受限制的夏季聯賽，他就又話題滿滿，一下子飛膝上籃，一下子又差點引發鬥毆，雖然多數錯不在他，不過可想而見過去的事蹟，Grayson Allen還有很長一段被放大檢視的路途要走。但爭議之外，他確實也展現出可以期待的戰力，少數能比肩黑人的白人彈性，優異的分球意識，多元的進攻技巧，固然在防守橫移與命中率方面仍大有進步空間，可只要能成為一位堪用的角色球員，以及防守端的威嚇，爵士這筆選秀就已成功。 

＊相當多的球迷，都非常關注這位被戲稱＂武力點滿＂＂物理攻擊能力絕強＂的新秀，菜鳥年會帶來什麼話題場面

5. Q&A時間

Q：明年的爵士戰力如何呢？

A：相對於其他球隊，爵士今年夏天算是相當風平浪靜，但這不代表球隊的實力就不會因此停��，交易或許可望帶來看似更好的球員，卻也同時帶來磨合的變數，遑論爵士這麼一支小市場球隊，並不是那麼具自由市場的競爭力。也因此總管Lindsay早就提過今夏的戰力提升重點在於”內部發掘潛力”。而渡過了一個豐收的下半季，球隊向心凝聚力正高，換個角度這批人馬也才方磨合出一些成果，球隊本就毋須於勢頭正好時刻貿然改變，因此光妥當的留住Favors與Exum，選進有潛質Grayson，確保球隊戰力的問題與盡可能原班人馬回歸(僅在考量整體上場時間後，放Jerenko離開)，Lindsay就已算是圓滿達成暑假作業，畢竟環顧市場，不留下既有球員，其實也沒什麼更好的選擇。

＊變動頻仍的西區勁旅中，能維持闖進第二輪的主力核心留隊已彌足珍貴，特別是仍有大筆潛力可挖掘

想像去年下半季的爵士主力，幾乎全員到齊，還小添小增了一些戰力深度，如果能夠健康，再經過更長時間的磨合與進步…也無怪乎大部分媒體對於明年爵士的戰力評估，都抱以高度樂觀的西區前段班排名(ESPN甚至一度排到西區NO.2)。Exum如果終能健康出賽，每年持續進化技能的Favors若果能開發更符合延伸四號位的技能，已經是聯盟頂級防守強隊又增添了物理系防守狂人Grayson---當然，更重要的還有Mitchell的再進化，對爵士戰力的期待絕非空穴來風。

Q：明年的爵士季後賽有望更上一層樓嗎？

機會自然是存在的。雖然季後賽與火箭的對抗仍有距離，但缺了Rubio與Mitchell帶傷也是事實；季賽的成績參考性質確實有限，但多次大敗勇士也不免讓人對於若果有機會槓上衛冕軍有所遐想。在整體西區勁旅的變動中，爵士下季能維持戰力陣容不墜已屬不易，一方面持續磨合與追求進步，一方面就期盼命運給予的契機終將來臨。

＊季後賽第二輪Rubio的落寞寫在臉上，首輪大功臣次輪全數缺���，的確也對爵士起了嚴重影響

最強的兩支西區假想敵仍數勇士與火箭(當然，其他如雷霆湖人金塊亦是不容小覷對手)，而可以期盼的契機點就在於夏天兩隊的人員異動。勇士轟轟烈烈的獲得了全明星中鋒Cousins，儼然組成更誇張的五星戰隊，但哪怕只有史傳奇口中＂1/14000605＂打敗薩諾斯的機會，阿基里斯腱重傷的Cousins回歸之狀態以及球路與勇士磨合的情況，仍是聯盟其他29支球隊可以觀察的機會，這本亦是勇士賭上一把要冒的風險。類似的情況亦在火箭，離開的球員固然不若買斷後投靠的Carmelo星光閃耀，但Ariza與Luc Mbah A Moute卻都是上季火箭成名絕技『無限換防』的要角，相對於爵士的影響尤甚，猶他同樣可以持續觀察尋找是否有機可趁。

＊Mitchell橫空出世的降臨後Hayward時代救世主，不僅讓各色球衣熱賣，也讓爵士來年季票已全數銷售一空

當然，總歸來說，雖然有那麼些＂機率＂，爵士仍是絕對落後的挑戰者。對猶他軍團來說，是否能突破這兩道難關，關鍵更落在自己球員身上-Gobert能否扭轉戰局。這位去年的DPOY，尷尬之處就在於對火箭系列戰，面對對手的無限換防與雙星單打一籌莫展，儼然成為打點對象，同樣的招式勇士亦為行家，不難假設如果Gobert無法在攻防兩端解決面對此類極致小球的麻煩，爵士就難以更上一層樓。防守端除了Gobert要找回前年更佳的移動狀態與專注力外，也有賴Snyder於團隊防守思考布局的對策，更甚者，考慮於面對此類球隊時當機立斷減少Gobert的時間，改用進攻破壞力更強的Favors主打中鋒跟著玩小球與無限換防，爵士現在的多工陣容確實是有此潛力。進攻端Gobert則可以期待的更多，包括加強面對包夾時的球權轉移、增加射程與持球進攻手段、無球跑動等，並且可期待健康的Rubio與更好的三分團隊，為他創造更多進攻空間與空檔。期望一個夏天甚至半季就讓Gobert場上的負分項目變正分不太切實際，但只要減少負分，爵士電梯向上的機率自然會同步提高！

＊季後獲選為年度最佳防守球員，第二輪的難堪讓Gobert卻也稍嫌尷尬，這將是他未來首要克服的防守課題，也是決定球隊能否更上一層樓的關鍵

※總結

一個跌宕起伏的球季，能用僅半季的陣痛期，就重返前方光明的道路，爵士球迷們已足欣慰。面對下個賽季，當然有很多正向的想像空間可以期待，年輕、團結、還有大把潛力尚未兌現。不過我們自然不能忽略仍有許多未知變數：第二年的Mitchell肯定會被視為頭牌球星招待，能否對撞牆期免疫？近年持續困擾球隊的健康問題，能否改善？面對頂尖小球尚未有最佳解的鋒線組合，能否找到答案？猶他爵士肯定會是來季季後賽八強的熱門隊伍，至於能否打出平盤成績甚至挑戰更遠的旅程，期待新球季開打後的解答！

＊整個Hayward時代都未曾得見的球隊向心力與情誼氛圍，現在已成為爵士的寶貴資產，僅僅夏季聯盟就多所見球員們聯袂前往觀看捧場，來年的爵士，值得期待！

actually loves children and adores their company despite giving off such scary and off-putting vibes. not only does he love the younger generation because he believes they’re all destined to grow up strong and successful, he really just thinks they’re cute? won’t ever tell anyone that, though.

misses the hell out of his long hair. he cut his hair short when he went for a more western style in the shinsengumi because he thought it’d give a more professional look but his long hair is always mourned.

he loves takuan but honestly anything that can be pickled is good to him. he loves salty and sour food more than anything else.

THE FACTS™ / ACCEPTING.

could not court someone properly if his life depended on it. there’s talk of him having women all over him and a ridiculous amount of flings, but they were all purely physical and extremely short lived. he likes the idea of having a family of his own and settling down, but it would be nearly impossible not only because his line of work but because he’s an absolute mess on the inside and has no clue how to actually be romantic. intimacy? not in this house.

loves to write. poetry, especially. it’s very calming and it’s really the only way he allows himself to express emotions in private. his poetry is super sappy and edgy though, which is no surprise. literature and the arts in general are one of his biggest interests.

his favorite part of western clothing is the aesthetic. yeah, it can be reliable in its own way, but the best part? the look of it. he absolutely chose western clothing for the shinsengumi because he thinks it makes them look threatening, professional, and most of all, cool.

being so much taller than most people his ethnicity is definitely not a normal thing, but he’s almost so used to it that he occasionally forgets how big he really is. there’s no doubt he’s hit his head on some door frames in chaldea more than once.
