How did Nuggets’ Cam Johnson find his groove? Thank this move
金塊隊的 Cam Johnson 是如何找回手感的？原來是因為這調整


Johnson dropped 19 points and a season-best five 3-pointers on Chicago. As
Nuggets begin two-game road swing in New Orleans, the man in the MPJ trade
says one tweak helped him get back on track




Cam Johnson’s shooting funk wasn’t a case of the yips. It was a waste of
his dips.

Cam Johnson 的投籃低潮並不是心理因素造成的，而是他忽略了「下沉」動作的運用。


“(There) was a little bit of a momentum transfer that I was working on the
last couple days,” the Nuggets forward explained to me after a 19-point
breakout night against the Chicago Bulls. “Momentum transfer and just a
little bit more of a dip. Kind of streamlining it, and making it feel more
smooth to take a little bit off my arms.

「過去幾天我一直在調整動能轉移的細節，」Johnson 在對公牛爆發拿下 19 分後向我解
釋道。「動能轉移，加上一點下沉的動作。讓整個動作更流暢，減少手臂的負擔。」


“When you become an ‘arm’ shooter, it’s tough. You want the whole body
involved. So that was what I was working on, was that whole body involvement
— kind of that dip to flow, dip to flow, alignment, dip to flow.”

「當你變成只靠手臂投籃的球員時，這件事很困難。你希望整個身體都參與其中。所以我
一直在練習讓全身參與——從下沉到流動、下沉到流動、對齊、下沉到流動。」

Dip to flow. Get low. Set yourself, rise, and extend.

下沉到流動。蹲低、穩定、起跳、延伸。

The most consistent shooters let their feet feed the hands. Not the other way
around. Johnson drained 5 of 7 3-point attempts Monday. Before he got hip to
the dip, the Nuggets wing had made just eight of his previous 38 from beyond
the arc. You know how hard it is to stay out of your own head when Nikola
Jokic keeps serving open looks on a silver platter?

最穩定的射手是讓腳帶動手，而不是反過來。Johnson 在週一投進了 7 投 5 中的三分球
。在他掌握「下沉」之前，他在過去 38 次三分出手中只命中 8 球。當 Nikola Jokic
不斷送出空檔機會時，你知道要如何不陷入自己的思緒有多難嗎？

“While (my shots) weren’t going down early, they also weren’t feeling
right,” Johnson said of a rough opening three weeks in Nuggets blue.

「當我早先的投籃沒進時，這些投籃也感覺不太對勁，」Johnson 談到他在金塊隊前幾週
的掙扎。


“I saw a couple of them felt good early, and those ones don’t go down, and
then you get a little skewed. So (I was) just getting back to basics, letting
it feel good. (Monday), I squeaked a couple in.”

「我早先有幾球感覺不錯，但就是不進，然後整個節奏就被打亂了。所以我只是回到基本
動作，讓投籃感覺順暢。（週一）我擠進了幾球。」

With Christian Braun out these next few weeks, the Nuggets (10-3) could use
every squeak. They head to New Orleans on Wednesday for a two-game southern
road swing coming off their first home loss of the season. On a bittersweet
night that saw Denver whiff on 50/50 balls and fail to close out on Chicago
shooters, Johnson’s rise felt like a palate-cleanser.



“Cam took the same shots that everyone’s been saying to Cam, ‘You know,
what’s going on with Cam?'” Nuggets coach David Adelman reflected. “It’s
like, well, it’s going to happen. Cam’s going to make shots. That’s the
bottom line.

「Cam 投的那些球，和大家之前問『你知道Cam 怎麼了嗎？』的投籃是一樣的。」金塊教
練 David Adelman 回顧道。「這就是會發生的事。Cam 會投進的，這才是重點。」

“That’s (why) we’ve been patient with this. It was really, really good to
see … Hopefully that’s just kind of a launching pad for Cam … I just think
the biggest thing for Cam is just to continue to take what’s there.”

「這也是我們一直保持耐心的原因。看到他這樣真的很好……希望這能成為 Cam 的起跳
板……我認為對 Cam 最重要的就是繼續把握目前的東西。」

And to not press when it isn’t. Johnson also knows he’ll have to be more
consistent, more reliable, than the form of the previous three weeks. The
veteran’s 8.2 points per game and 28.9% conversion rate on 3s comprise
easily the slowest start to an opening 12 appearances over his seven seasons
as a pro.



“It’s self-talk, on one hand, where you just have to have the confidence in
yourself that you’ve been doing this (and) you’ll get back to doing it,”
Johnson said. “Unless God said I’m done shooting the basketball, then it’
ll come back.”

「這是一種自我對話，你必須相信自己一直都在做這件事，而且你會找回狀態，」
Johnson 說。「除非上帝說我不能再投籃了，否則它一定會回來。」

Let’s make a couple of things clear. First, Johnson isn’t Michael Porter
Jr., the man he was dealt for. That’s OK. If this roster is healthy, he doesn
’t have to be.

讓我們釐清幾件事。首先，Johnson 不是 Michael Porter Jr.，那位交易對象。這很OK，
如果這支陣容保持健康，他不需要成為 MPJ。


Second, when grading the MPJ trade, take the long view and the high road. The
“win” in acquiring Johnson for MPJ and a first-round pick in 2032 wasn’t
in trying to get one over on the Nets. MPJ’s hot start (24.1 points per game
as of Monday night), on the surface, makes one move, in isolation, look like
a fleece job by Brooklyn.



Don’t buy the clickbait. Take out the isolation. The “win” was getting MPJ
’s contract, and $38.3 million cap hit this season, off the books. Because
doing that opened up the salary space for Jonathan Wallace and Ben Tenzer to
go snap up Tim Hardaway Jr., Bruce Brown and Jonas Valanciunas.

別被表象欺騙了。把單一事件抽離來看，真正的「勝利」是擺脫了 MPJ 的合約和本季
3830 萬美元的薪資空間。這才讓 Jonathan Wallace 和 Ben Tenzer 有空間簽下 Tim
Hardaway Jr.、Bruce Brown 和 Jonas Valanciunas。

（按：
Ben Tenzer是金塊對的籃球運贏執行副總裁﹙Executive Vice President of
Basketball Operations﹚

Jonathan Wallace則是球員人事執行副總裁﹙Executive Vice President of Player
Personnel﹚）

It was never MPJ plus a pick for Cam. It was MPJ plus a pick for Cam plus a
bench — Brucey B, Tim, Jonas — that could run with the Thunder’s. Would
you rather have MPJ as a fourth option in the offense, combined with last year
’s second unit? Or the top nine Nuggets — with a healthy Braun — in Adelman
’s rotation this fall?


Braun）？

If Porter becomes an All-Star, good for him. MPJ leads the Nets in points,
shots taken and treys taken. He went from supporting player on a title-winner
here to the focal point of a crapola offense in the Big Apple. The Nets were
2-11 as of Tuesday morning. See Grant, Jerami. Godspeed.



Johnson’s now a supporting player on a 10-3 team with champagne history and
caviar dreams. One he desperately wants to give more support to. There’s no
show without the flow.

而 Johnson 現在是金塊這支 10 勝 3 敗、擁有香檳歷史與魚子醬夢想的球隊中的配角。
他渴望為這支球隊提供更多支持。沒有流暢的流動，就沒有表演。

“I’ve worked on this a lot in my life,” Johnson said. “The only thing is,
the problems are never the same. You always have to have a bunch in your bag
to go to, to figure out why you’re missing, and how to fix it.

「我這輩子練過很多次這種事，」Johnson 說。「唯一的問題是，每次的問題都不一樣。
你必須準備好一整套工具，去找出為什麼投不進，然後怎麼修正。」

“I’ve had some trainers and some people that I’m close with come and help
me, just as a separate set of eyes. And it’s one game, man — it could have
just as easily been 0 for 7 (Monday). So you’ve got to remember that and try
to get back after it and make them in the next game.”

「我有一些訓練師和親近的人來幫我看，提供不同的視角。但這只是一場比賽，兄弟——
週一也可能是 7 投 0 中。所以你得記住這點，然後繼續努力，在下一場把球投進。」



心得：


上一場大爆發後，今天8投6中（三分球3投1中），手感看起來慢慢回溫，雖然CB看起來還
需要一個多月才會回來，但CJ手感可以先回溫的話，對金塊會有不小幫助。
