Tyrese Haliburton’s basketball rise is marked by a constant defiance of expectations.
Before thriving in a sizable role for a top-25 squad, he arrived at Iowa State as a freshman who wasn’t featured among ESPN’s top-100 recruits. After an exodus of talent, he slid into a prominent ball-handling gig and emerged as one of the nation’s premier players, only for his season to be derailed by injury.
Despite the substantial strides between those first two years in college, Haliburton fell to 12th in the 2020 NBA Draft and had quite a few people skeptical of his ceiling, including yours truly (whoops). Then, he enjoyed another developmental jump to finish third in the NBA’s Rookie of the Year voting behind two dudes who look like surefire future All-Stars.
泰瑞斯·哈利伯顿的崛起以不断提高大家对他的期待。
在为球队担任重要角色之前，他作为一名大一新生来到爱荷华州立大学前，ESPN的前100名球员中并没有他。随着一些球员的排名下降，他成功挤进这份名单中，成为美国顶级球员之一，结果他又因伤病而掉出名单
尽管在大学的头两年之间取得了重大进步，但哈利伯顿在2020年NBA选秀中依然跌至第12位，相当多的人怀疑他的天花板不会很高。然后，他再次展示自己的潜力，在NBA年度新秀投票中排名第三，仅次于两名看起来像未来全明星的家伙。
By no means was the consensus rushing to cap the possibilities for his encore season and beyond. Yet he’s once again surpassed preconceived notions of his present-day abilities, especially as of late. Over his past 19 games, he’s averaging 16.9 points, 9.3 assists (2.7 turnovers) and 1.4 steals on .487/.448/.843 shooting splits.
Haliburton is one of only two players (along with Dejounte Murray of the San Antonio Spurs) to average at least 16.9 points, 9.0 assists and 1.4 steals since Dec. 17. On the season, he leads the Kings in DRIP, which projects a player’s contribution to a team’s plus/minus per 100 possession, at plus-0.9 and DELTA, the difference in DRIP from the beginning of the season, at plus-1.0.
这并不意味着我们可以急于猜测他未来的可能性了。本赛季，他再次超越了我们对他能力的猜测，特别是在在过去的19场比赛中，他在48.7%/44.8%/84.3%次投篮命中率平均得分16.9分、9.3次助攻（2.7次失误）和1.4次抢断。
自12月以来，哈利伯顿是仅有的两名平均至少16.9分、9.0次助攻和1.4次抢断的球员之一（与圣安东尼奥马刺队的默里一起）。本赛季，他在DRIP中领先国王队（DRIP是球员对球队每百回合的正负贡献值）。哈利伯顿为 -0.9，DELTA（DRIP与赛季初的差异）为 -1.0。
12月17号以来得到16.9分和9.3助攻的球员
Much of his improvement has coincided with Sacramento Kings head coach Alvin Gentry prioritizing him as an on-ball creator to degrees former head coach Luke Walton did not. Haliburton didn’t necessarily struggle under the previous regime, but his breakout of the last six weeks showcases that the old usage was overly rigid for his full complement of skills.
Since Gentry took over, De’Aaron Fox has largely shifted from primary initiator to primary scorer, while Haliburton has gone from secondary initiator to primary initiator, which has been beneficial for everyone involved.
他的进步大部分是因为萨克拉门托国王队主教练阿尔文·金特里优先考虑他作为球队的进攻发起者，而前主教练卢克·沃尔顿没有。哈里伯顿虽然在之前的体系中表现得并不挣扎，但他在过去六周的突破表明，对于他的全部技能来说，旧的用法过于僵化了。
自金特里接任以来，福克斯在很大程度上从优先发起者转变为优先得分者，而哈里伯顿转变为优先发起者，这对所有球员都有利。
With Walton at the helm this year, Fox averaged 81.8 touches (86.5 in 2020-21) and Haliburton averaged 64.1 (57.6 in 2020-21), according to NBA.com. With Gentry in charge, Fox was averaging 76.5 touches, compared to Haliburton’s 78.3 heading into Wednesday night’s loss at Atlanta. The dynamic guards have also seen similar stats like time of possession and dribbles per touch trend in opposite directions under Gentry.
Last season, Fox averaged 25.2 points and 7.2 assists, while Haliburton averaged 13.0 points and 5.3 assists. Since Gentry took over, Fox is averaging 21.9 points and 4.7 assists; Haliburton is averaging 14.2 points and 8.3 assists.
据NBA.com称，今年沃顿执教期间，福克斯平均触球81.8次（2020-21年为86.5次），哈利伯顿平均触球64.1次（2020-21年为57.6次）。在金特里执教期间，福克斯平均触球为76.5次，而哈里伯顿在周三晚上输给亚特兰大的比赛中有78.3次触球。金特里执教以来更倾向于让福克斯专心得分。
上个赛季，福克斯平均得到25.2分和7.2次助攻，而哈利伯顿平均得到13.0分和5.3次助攻。自金特里接手以来，福克斯场均得到21.9分和4.7次助攻；哈利伯顿场均得到14.2分和8.3次助攻。
Whereas a bunch of the old numbers indicated a clear divide in the offensive hierarchy, new numbers indicate an equal partnership in which one is relied upon to score more and the other leans into table-setting.
Enabling these alterations is Haliburton’s sustained blossoming as a shot creator. When paired with his long-standing ancillary skills of passing, spot-up shooting (41.3% from 3-point range in his career) and defensive playmaking, he’s fitting the mold of an incredibly tantalizing franchise cornerstone for the Kings. At a minimum, he and Fox should be viewed on the same ground moving forward, which was probably not the case within most crowds entering the season.
虽然一堆旧数据和目前的进攻体系存在明显的分歧，但新数据表明双方存在平等的伙伴关系，其中一方依靠对方得分更多，另一方倾向于更全面。
哈里伯顿作为进攻发起者一直在进步。当他的传球、投篮（职业生涯中3分命中率41.3%）和防守等长期辅助技能相结合时，他正在成为国王队塑造的一个令人难以置信的球队基石。至少，他和福克斯应该被一起看做是球队的未来。
As a rookie, the pull-up triple was assuredly in Haliburton’s arsenal. He shot 37.5% (48 of 128), which composed 20.7% of his offense.
This year, he’s expanded upon that to become even more devastating. He’s shooting 42.6% (52 of 122), which composes nearly 25% of his offense. Among 96 players to take at least 50 pull-up 3s this season, Haliburton’s 42.6% clip ranked second heading into Wednesday.
作为一名新秀，跳投肯定在哈利伯顿的武库中。他投篮命中37.5%（128投48球），占他进攻的20.7%。
今年，他增强这一点，使其更具破坏性。他投篮命中率为42.6%（122投篮命中率为52人），占他进攻的近25%。在本赛季至少跳投50次以上的96名球员中，哈利伯顿的42.6%的命中率排名第二。
In recent weeks, Sacramento has been linked to both Ben Simmons and Domantas Sabonis. Conflicting reports as to whether Fox or Haliburton are available in those talks have arisen.
Haliburton hasn’t (yet?) ascended to untouchable status in discussions for any star. But for those caliber of stars, he should be (and perhaps already is). His trajectory dating back to high school is staggeringly impressive. He’s going to be supremely good. Even if he doesn’t become a bonafide primary initiator, he can comfortably toggle across roles, thanks to skills he’s harnessed for years.
最近几周，萨克拉门托分别问价本·西蒙斯和多曼塔斯·萨博尼斯。关于福克斯或哈利伯顿是否出现在交易名单中，出现了相互矛盾的报告。
哈利伯顿还没有在任何明星的讨论中提升到非卖品的地位。但对于那些大牌明星来说，他应该是可以被交易的。从高中开始，他就令人印象深刻。他将来会非常优秀。即使他没有成为一个真正的主要进攻发起者，他也可以舒适地切换角色，这要归功于他多年来的技能。
As a freshman at Iowa State, he could bury spot-up 3s, dish out connective passes and occasionally attack closeouts. Shooting off the dribble, spamming ball-screen actions and shrugging off defensive physicality didn’t really seem viable.
Three years later, he efficiently hoists pull-up jumpers, runs a plethora of pick-and-rolls, and scores through contact as a lead creator on an NBA team. He’s a basketball savant who rapidly evolves his game and views the sports through a lens nobody else owns.
Whatever he accomplishes next to shatter expectations and inch closer toward stardom will be an absolute joy.
当他还是爱荷华州立大学的一年级新生的时候，他可以外线三分，传球，偶尔也会攻击篮下。但防守方面似乎并不真正可行。
三年后，他有效地俯卧式跳投，更多的无球跑动，并作为NBA球队的主要进攻发起者通过传球得分。他是一位篮球专家，他迅速提升了他的比赛能力。
无论他在打破期望和接近明星地位方面取得的成就，都将是绝对的快乐。
