在高空清理篮板球的不再只是那些7尺长人。 假如在篮球场上，你没有得分的长项，那还可以凭什么扬名立万呢？抢篮板球。 在如今的篮球时代里，抢篮板球是最被忽视的技能，但是很多的教练都不忘反复跟球员强调篮板球的重要性。在谈到抢篮板时，身高是极其重要的因素，但是比起要成为一名扬名立万的篮板“清洁工”的其他因素，身高却是最不起眼的要素。 而那些其他的因素包括：身体力量，决心，抢位，侵略性。在联盟中有些球员天生就是抢篮板的好料，有些人的篮板能力就是中等水准，也有一些人的其他技能掩盖了他们抢篮板的天赋。下面就让我们看看联盟中十位被忽视的篮板清洁工。 名词解释：篮板效率，这是一项衡量球员在场上抢篮板的效率值的数据，生涯最高值为罗德曼保持的23.4，单赛季最高的篮板效率值也是罗德曼保持，为29.7。以下简称为RR。
How do you make a name for yourself without scoring the basketball? Rebounding.
Rebounding is the most overlooked skill in the game of basketball today but many coaches don’t shy away from preaching how important it is. Although height plays a vital role when it comes to bringing down boards, it’s at the bottom of the list compared to the other characteristics of being a well-known player who cleans the glass.
Those characteristics are physical strength, determination, positioning and aggressiveness. There are players in the League who were born to rebound, some who are mediocre at rebounding and those who have other skills that ‘mask’ their rebounding aptitude. That said, here are the top-10 most overlooked players in the League at cleaning the boards.
10.朗多 朗多很可能是自基德时代后篮板技术最好的控卫，篮板这个项在朗多的比赛中显得很重要。当你看凯尔特人比赛时，你首先会注意到朗多的传球和防守能力。本赛季，他以场均15.1次助攻领衔全联盟，但他场均还能抢下5.2个篮板，与贾瑞特-杰克并列。目前他RR值为8.0列在控卫中的第7。因为朗多跳得非常高，他可以利用他6尺9的臂展跟油漆区的大个子拼抢篮板球。很多人认为他是被高估了，因为他身边有那么多有天赋的明星，但是他抢篮板的拼搏和决心让他成为了全面的球员。先不提他糟糕的罚球了。 10. Rajon Rondo, Boston Celtics
Arguably the best rebounding point guard since the Jason Kidd era, rebounds are very important to Rondo’s game. When you watch the Celtics play, the first thing you notice about Rondo is his passing ability and defense. He’s leading the League with 15.1 assists this season, but is pulling down 5.2 rebounds per contest, which ties him with Jarret Jack. His rebounding rate of 8.0 places him seventh among point guards. Because Rondo can jump so high, he causes big men fits in the paint and uses his 6-9 wingspan to his advantage. Many believe he’s overrated because of the talent around him, but his hustle and determination to rebound make him the complete player. Now about those free-throws. 9.威斯布鲁克 自从威斯布鲁克跟在杜兰特身边打球后，他就几乎没有得到应当的赞赏。这位UCLA出产的球员，因为他硬实的方式，篮球技术和好的不得了的运动能力而出名。在雷霆的前十场比赛中，你可以说他打出了爆发的赛季，场均23.5分，5.5个篮板和7.7助攻，始终排在联盟效率值第二的位置，仅次于蜂王保罗（27.01）。他的RR值为8.8列在控卫中的第四，进攻RR为5.6，防守RR为11.8。只要他在尝试，威斯布鲁克就有可能奔向3双的数据，而且他不需要杜兰特在旁边也可以做到。（上赛季杜兰特缺阵他在对阵小牛时拿下17+10+10） 9. Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder
Since Westbrook plays alongside Kevin Durant, he doesn’t get nearly the credit that he deserves. Coming out of UCLA, he was known for his hardnosed defense, rebounding and out-of-this-world athleticism. In the Thunder’s first 10 games, you could say that he’s having a breakout season with averages of 23.5 points per game, 5.5 rebounds and 7.7 assists — all the while being ranked as the second-most efficient player in the League, behind Chris Paul, with a PER of 27.01. He’s ranked fourth among point guards with an 8.8 rebounding rate, an offensive rate of 5.6 and a defensive rate of 11.8. Russ is a triple-double waiting to happen every time he’s on the court and he doesn’t need Durant to do so (he dropped 17-10-10 on Dallas last season without him).
8.巴恩斯 你们大部分人很可能搔头皮，想不通为什么巴恩斯会出现在这个名单中，特别是考虑到他生涯场均4.4个篮板的数据，但是，他出彩的是他抢篮板的效率。在过去三个赛季中，随着上场时间的增多，他场均的篮板数分别是5.5,5.5,5.9。尽管本赛季作为湖人的替补场均只有20分钟的时间，但他15.5的RR值领衔全联盟的小前锋。他的防守RR值17.7排在联盟第7，进攻RR值13.2联盟第1，考虑到他的出场时间，这种表现真的很了不起。他一直都是以球场上的强硬和身体对抗而出名，这说明他不惧怕冲入内线跟联盟最棒的大个子们肉搏。 8. Matt Barnes, Los Angeles Lakers
Most of you are probably scratching your head and wondering why Barnes is even on the list, especially with his career average of 4.4 rebounds, but it’s the rate at which he does so that stands out. For the past three seasons, and playing more minutes, Barnes has averaged 5.5, 5.5 and 5.9 rebounds per game. Despite only playing 20 minutes off the bench this season for the Lakers, Barnes still managed to lead all small forwards with a 15.5 rebounding rate. He also ranks seventh in defensive rebounding (17.7) and first in offensive rebounds (13.2), which is remarkable considering the minutes. He’s always been known for his toughness on the court and physical play, which shows he isn’t afraid of going in the paint and mixing it up with some of the League’s best big men.
7.古登 在9年的时间里，古登效力了9支球队。最荒唐的是他生涯场均数据还能达到11.9分和7.9板，以他这种飘无定所的情形来看，我认为是非常了不起的。在雄鹿的前11场比赛里，他场均抢下6.7个篮板，RR值为16.6与约什-史密斯并列，排在70名大前锋中的第16位。他的防守RR值22和进攻RR值11.6同样都非常出色。可以很保险地说，古登暂时应该不会再换到另一支球队，因为这个夏天他签下了5年3200万的合同。 7. Drew Gooden, Milwaukee Bucks
In nine years, Gooden’s played for nine different teams. The crazy thing is that he has a career average of 11.9 points and 7.9 rebounds, which I would consider great, given his situations. Through 11 games this season with Milwaukee, he’s pulling down 6.7 rebounds, which gives him a Rebounding Rate of 16.6 — that ties him with Josh Smith and places him 16th out of 70 power forwards. His defensive rebounding rate of 22 and offensive of 11.6 is impressive as well. It might be safe to say that Drew isn’t going to another team for a while, since he signed a five-year, $32 million deal this summer.
6.布莱尔
6尺7的高度（穿鞋身高），265磅的体重，但布莱尔只能算是矮而粗壮型的中锋。但由于他的体型和侵略性，他在内线可以压倒对手进行高空清洁篮板的工作。他的场均篮板已经从新秀赛季的6.4个增长到如今的7.9。在所有大前锋中，布莱尔的RR值20.1位列第4，其中防守RR值24.8以他这种身材来讲真的是不寻常的，另外进攻RR值也有15.1。他的得分还是不大稳定，但随着邓肯的逐步衰落，我认为布莱尔的机会越来越多，在接下来的日子里他将成为联盟最强的篮板好手之一。 6. DeJuan Blair, San Antonio Spurs
Despite being 6-7 (with shoes) and weighing 265, Blair is rather a short and stocky center. But due to his size and aggressiveness in the paint; he’s able to out-muscle the opposing team to clean the glass. During his rookie campaign with the Spurs, he averaged 6.4 rebounds but has since bumped it up to 7.9. Among power forwards, Blair ranks fourth with a rebounding rate of 20.1. His 24.8 defensive rate is remarkable for someone his size, along with his 15.1 on the offensive side. His scoring is rather inconsistent but with Tim Duncan declining, I expect Blair’s opportunities too continue to rise and become one of the best rebounders in the League for years to come.
5.雷吉-埃文斯 自从查尔斯奥克利之后，年轻的猛龙已经没有这种“十恶不赦”的篮板狂人，但是埃文斯在多伦多顺着这个方向在前进。即使他不是老橡树那种风格的球员，但是他仍可以为猛龙提供防守，篮板，内线肉搏和身体对抗。早期在西雅图和丹佛效力时，埃文斯就是联盟中抢篮板最好的球员之一。即使乐福过去这几个星期里狂刷篮板，但是埃文斯25.7的RR值仍然列在全联盟大前锋之首。我们都知道巴格亚尼对篮板是过敏的，在意外的情况下他能捡到5个篮板，所以埃文斯场均11.8个篮板肯定能帮助猛龙。 5. Reggie Evans, Toronto Raptors
The young Raptors haven’t had an agitator since the days of Charles Oakley, but now that Evans made his way up to T-Dot, things have changed. Even though he’s not the player Oak Tree was, he still provides the Raptors with defense, rebounding, inside play and physicality. In his early years with Seattle and Denver, Evans was one of the best big men on the boards before falling off the map in Philadelphia. Even with Kevin Love going off on the boards these past weeks, Reggie still ranks at the top of the list among power forwards with a 25.7 rebounding rate. We all know Andrea Bargnani is allergic to the glass — he should have 5 rebounds by accident — so Evans’ 11.8 rebounds per night certainly helps.
4.墨菲 这位从圣母玛利亚大学走出来的11年老兵，当他健康的时候在抢篮板方面他处于最强的范畴之内。在勇士效力的5个半赛季里（06-07赛季中期被交易到步行者），他场均抢下7.9个篮板，并且有3个赛季的篮板数都上双。在步行者的3年时间里，在08-09赛季他抢下11.8个篮板为生涯最高，在09-10赛季抢下10.2个篮板。上赛季他RR值为17.2在大前锋中并列第12，防守RR值为28.5位列第二，他甚至还能抢下6个进攻篮板。尽管本赛季因为脚伤缺席比赛，但在替补出场20分钟是时间里，他还是能抢下5.2个篮板。 4. Troy Murphy, New Jersey Nets
An 11-year veteran out of Notre Dame, Troy Murphy is one of the best when it comes to rebounding the basketball when healthy. In five and a half seasons with the Warriors (he was dealt to the Pacers 26 games into ‘06-07), he averaged 7.9 rebounds per game while recording three double-digit rebounding seasons. With three years put in for the Pacers, Murphy brought down 11.8 rebounds in ‘08-09, which was a career high, and 10.2 in ‘09-10. He tied for 12th last season among power forwards with a 17.2 rebounding rate, second in defensive rate with 28.5 and he even pulled down 6 offensive rebounds. Despite only playing in five games this season due to a foot injury, Troy’s still managing to pull down 5.2 rebounds per contest in just 20 minutes off the bench.
3.大卫-韦斯特
03年韦斯特在泽维尔大学赢下了奥斯卡-罗伯特森奖，这是授予年度最佳大学球员的奖项，之后韦斯特效力黄蜂成为了两届全明星。那么，他有什么被忽视的呢？嗯，简直就是所有一切。要不是全明星教练将他选进阵容搭档保罗的话，你们大多数人都不知道韦斯特这个人。他是非常出色的外围射手，特别是在罚球线处，而且他冲抢篮板的技能比大多数人想象中都要好。从06-09年，韦斯特场均轰下8.5个篮板，由于过去两个赛季上场时间的下降，他的数据有所下降。尽管本赛季他的RR值比较低，仅为12，但是他的防守RR17.9和进攻RR6.4还是相当稳定。他每一年都非常努力争取，所有是时候给他一点点认可了。 3. David West, New Orleans Hornets
After earning the Oscar Robertson Trophy in 2003 with Xavier, which is rewarded to the College Player of the Year, West then went on to be a two-time All-Star with the Hornets. So what’s so overlooked about him? Well, everything. If it weren’t for the coaches voting him as an All-Star and playing alongside Chris Paul, most would never even hear about David West. He’s a very good outside shooter, especially from the free-throw line, and he crashes the boards better than most would think. From 2006-2009, West averaged 8.5 rebounds per game before taking a slight dip the past two seasons due to less minutes. Despite a somewhat low rebounding rate this season (12.0), his defensive rebounding (17.9) and offensive rebounding (6.4) have always been solid. He’s worked hard every year to get where he’s at so it’s time he gets a little recognition.
2.杰拉德-华莱士 华莱士因为他惊人的封盖和抢断能力扬名立万，而他突然成为了联盟中最强的篮板手之一。从08-09赛季开始，华莱士提升他的篮板球数据从7.8到10.0，再到这个赛季的8.3。上赛季他还曾一度领衔全联盟的RR值。他以12.9的RR值列在小前锋的第四，防守RR值和进攻RR值分别为20.8和4.2。尽管这些年他受到不少伤病，但是他都能够反弹到很高的效率，那是因为他非常出色的垂直快速弹跳能力，这对于那些大块但速度慢的球员来说就是一种优势。他的拼搏特质从来没被质疑，但篮板能力才是他最重要的部分。 2. Gerald Wallace, Charlotte Bobcats
Best known for his prodigious combination of blocks and steals, Gerald has suddenly become one of the League’s best rebounders. Starting from the ‘08-09 season, Wallace upped his rebounding from 7.8, 10.0 and 8.3 this season. He also was leading the League in rebounding last year before fading away toward the end of the season. Wallace ranks fifth among small forwards with a rebounding rate of 12.9, a defensive rate of 20.8 and an offensive rate of 4.2. Despite his injuries throughout the years, Wallace is able to rebound at a high rate due to his exceptionally quick vertical, which ultimately puts him at an advantage over slower, yet bigger players. His hustle has never been in question, but it’s his rebounding that’s the most important part.
1. Carmelo Anthony, Denver Nuggets
At 6-8, Carmelo is undersized in certain match-ups when he’s placed at the power forward position, which he’s played more often this season due to injuries to Kenyon Martin and Chris “Birdman” Andersen. Despite a rebounding average of 6.3 for his career, and never pulling down more than 7.4 in a season, ‘Melo is snatching up 9.4 rebounds through 10 games. His rebounding rate of 14.1 places him second among small forwards, fourth in defensive rebounding with 18.8 and he’s pulling down 7.3 offensive rebounds, which are career highs. With rebounding spurts this season of 7, 10, 15, 8, 13 and a career-high 22, one thing that’s evident — Carmelo loves contact. Everyone knows about him being arguably the best scorer in the League, but his rebounding is hardly ever spoken of, why else do you think they call him, “The Bully?”
