训练营通常可以呈倒三角形。在新闻业中，这意味着向读者展示最具新闻价值的信息，然后是重要信息的主体，最后是背景信息和背景。 　　让一支NBA球队为82场常规赛做好准备也不例外。教练组首先向团队提出广泛的想法。对于主教练伊梅·乌多卡来说，这就是配速、分球和利用花名册的多才多艺。在训练营的第一周之后，球队开始减少轮换，并找出有效的球员组合。这就是我们今天的处境。 　　在周三的训练后，乌多卡说，作为最终轮换的一部分，教练组“对10-12名队员感到满意”，但到10月20日常规赛开始时，“9-10是一个更容易管理的数字”。在接下来的两周里，他将继续修剪，直到三角形的尖端尽可能锋利。我们已经开始意识到什么在起作用了。 　　阿尔·霍福德和丹尼斯·施罗德 　　很难否认这两者之间有联系。当然，他们有共同的历史。上一次斯克罗德和霍福德一起打球时，这两名前老鹰队在2016年NBA季后赛第二轮淘汰了凯尔特人队。五年后，当施罗德来到波士顿的想法成为可能时，霍福德是他前队友的关键招聘人员。 　　“我们已经做了几年了。我相信我们的化学反应仍然存在，”施罗德周三训练后说。“在训练营中，我们有机会谈论一些事情，当他想在任意球上得分时，他喜欢球。我们一直在努力，每天都在进步。” 　　乌多卡一直说，周一的季前赛首发阵容并不一定意味着任何进展。赛程上还有三场季前赛，乌多卡说霍福德将在其中一些比赛中首发。然而，很难忽视霍福德·施罗德的化学反应，这可能是板凳上有力的一击。对奥兰多的比赛中，霍福德和施罗德几乎完全是搭档，马库斯·斯马特和罗伯特·威廉姆斯搭档首发。 　　在名单上所有的控卫中，施罗德的比赛在运球时产生了最深的穿透力。他上赛季的平均驾驶次数超过了凯尔特人，包括首发控球后卫坎巴·沃克和马库斯·斯马特。霍福德在地板上的间距为5，这应该给施罗德足够的空间在防守上戳洞。如果替补席主要由射手组成，这可能是一个重要的动态。 　　保罗·卢瑟福今日美国体育 　　在一起参加夏季联赛之后，2020选秀班再次在一起与魔术队比赛，其中包括令人激动的复出。如上所述，他们带来的是他们的射击。在第四节，他们6投4中，加上上场时间，普里查德担任主控球手，内斯米特担任得分后卫。 　　通过他们上赛季的表现和整个夏天的持续发展，他们今年都将自己定位为轮换球员。这只是他们玩多少的问题。如果老兵施罗德和理查森是第二队的一员，而霍福德或其他像赫尔南戈麦斯或***这样的老兵也是第二队的一员，这就为一两名外围球员留下了空间。 　　如果说乌多卡在周三的训练后有任何失误，他确实会说，“知道艾尔带来了什么，更重要的是看到年轻人和那些团体在一起。”“年轻人”还包括格兰特·威廉姆斯和罗密欧·朗福德，但如果每个人都健康的话，他们看起来就像外卡和x因素。这一评论似乎是针对普里查德和奈斯米特的。如前所述，如果替补席将严重依赖施罗德·霍福德的选秀和流行动态，他们将需要被射手包围。去年，普里查德的投篮命中率为46.7%，3次命中率高得离谱。Nesmith紧随其后，为39.8%。 　　约什-理查德森 　　理查森自己说的。“我是个填补空白的人。” 　　布拉德·史蒂文斯（Brad Stevens）用理查森的合同填补了TPE的剩余空缺后，他与杰里奇续约一年。这是来自前线办公室的信任投票，他可以重新点燃一个角色，他在炎热中蓬勃发展。在迈阿密，理查森是球队文化的一部分，每个人都做了一些事情。在费城和达拉斯的过去两个赛季中，他更多的是作为配角，而不是作为一个合奏的一部分。 　　凯尔特人队有两名年轻的全明星，但他们并不像卢卡·唐契奇或乔尔·埃姆比德那样令人讨厌。理查森将在塔特姆和布朗之后扮演更多的合作角色。与魔术队对抗，当布朗或塔图姆坐上板凳时，理查森填补了这两个前锋位置。 　　他打得很差。不计分。这里重要的是乌多卡是如何利用他来填补空缺的。布朗和塔图姆会一起踢很多场比赛，但是当他们中的任何一个坐在板凳上时，理查森会填补空缺。 　　原标题： 　　Roles coming into focus as Celtics head into second week of training camp 　　原文： 　　Training camp can often take the shape of an inverted triangle. In journalism, that means presenting a lede with the most newsworthy info followed by the body of important information concluded with background info and context. 　　Getting an NBA team ready for an 82-game regular season is no different. Coaching staffs first present broad ideas to the team. For head coach Ime Udoka, that was playing with pace, sharing the ball, and utilizing the roster’s versatility. After the first week of training camp, teams start paring down the rotation and figuring out player combinations that work. That’s where we’re at today. 　　After Wednesday’s practice, Udoka said that the coaching staff is “comfortable with 10 to 12 of their guys” as part of the eventual rotation, but that “9-10 is a more manageable number” by the time the start of the regular season kicks off on October 20th. Over the next two weeks, he’ll continue to trim it down until the tip of the triangle is as sharp as possible. Already, we’re already getting a sense of what’s working. 　　Al Horford and Dennis Schroder 　　It’s hard to deny there’s a connection between the two. There’s their shared history of course. The last time Scroder and Horford played together, the two former Hawks were eliminating the Celtics in the second round of the 2016 NBA Playoffs. Five years later, when the idea of Schroder coming to Boston became a possibility, Horford was a key recruiter of his former teammate. 　　“We’ve done it for a few years. Our chemistry is still there, I believe,” Schroder said after practice on Wednesday. “In training camp, we’ve had a chance to talk about a few things where he likes the ball when he wants to score off the pick-and-roll. We’ve been working on it and getting better at it each day.” 　　Udoka has consistently said that Monday’s preseason starting lineup doesn’t necessarily mean anything moving forward. There are still three preseason games on the schedule and Udoka says that Horford will start in some of them. However, it’s hard to ignore the Horford-Schroder chemistry that could be a potent punch off the bench. Against Orlando, Horford and Schroder played nearly exclusively together with Marcus Smart and Robert Williams pairing together as starters. 　　Of all the point guards on the roster, Schroder’s game generates the deepest penetration off the dribble. He averaged more drives than any Celtic last season including starting point guard Kemba Walker and Marcus Smart. With Horford’s spacing the floor as a stretch 5, that should give Schroder plenty of space to poke holes in the defense. That could be an important dynamic if the bench is going to be made up largely of shooters. 　　Paul Rutherford-USA TODAY Sports Payton Pritchard and Aaron Nesmith 　　After starring together in Summer League, the 2020 draft class again played a bulk of their minutes together against the Magic including a stirring comeback. As aforementioned, what they bring to the table is their shooting. In that fourth quarter, they were 4-for-6 combined with minutes that included Pritchard as the primary ball handler and Nesmith at shooting guard. 　　Through their play last season and their continued development over the summer, they’ve both positioned themselves as rotational pieces this year. It’s just a matter how much they play. If veterans Schroder and Richardson are part of the second unit and either Horford or another vet big like Hernangomez or Enes Kanter is too, that leaves room for one or two perimeter players. 　　If Udoka tipped his hand at all after Wednesday’s practice, he did say, “knowing what Al brings, it’s more so seeing the young guys with those groups.” “Young guys” also includes Grant Williams and Romeo Langford, but they seem like wild cards and x-factors if everybody’s healthy. That comment seems directed at Pritchard and Nesmith. As aforementioned, if the bench is going to rely heavily on the Schroder-Horford pick-and-pop dynamic, they’ll need to be surrounded by shooters. Last year, Pritchard hit a ridiculous 46.7% from 3 on catch-and-shoots. Nesmith wasn’t far behind at 39.8%. 　　Josh Richardson 　　Richardson said it himself. “I’m a gap filler.” 　　After Brad Stevens, well, filled the remainder of the TPE gap with Richardson’s contract, he signed JRich to a one-year extension. It’s a vote of confidence from the front office that he can rekindle a role that he flourished in with the Heat. In Miami, Richardson was part of team culture where everybody did a bit of everything. Over the last two seasons in Philadelphia and Dallas, he was cast more as a supporting actor rather than part of an ensemble. 　　The Celtics have two young All-Stars, but they’re not the vortex suck that a Luka Doncic or Joel Embiid are. Richardson will have more of a collaborative role next to Tatum and Brown. Against the Magic, when either Brown or Tatum went to the bench, it was Richardson filling in at either forward position.
