http://www.sacbee.com/kings/story/2341886.html There might have been a time when the thought of Donté Greene starting for the Kings meant something would first have to go terribly wrong. 以前如果說到綠綠先發，那第一個反應就是「穩死的」 Greene was buried on the depth chart. The coaching staff wasn't high on Greene's decision making on the court. Playing time was scarce. 綠綠以前被冷凍起來，上場時間少的可憐 But when an injury forced Andres Nocioni to the bench for last week's game against Chicago, Kings coach Paul Westphal didn't call on Omri Casspi, the logical first choice. 但是一切的情況都在酒駕司機受傷後有所改變，西佛沒有叫合理的第一選擇--卡斯比。 Westphal instead turned to Greene, and the second-year forward scored a career-high 24 points. 西佛的愛轉向綠綠，他也回報了，得了24分。 Greene's versatility has made him a valuable fill-in for Westphal, and that trend might continue tonight when the Kings finish their three-game trip against the Memphis Grizzlies at FedExForum. 綠綠的多功能填補了西佛的空缺，而且也許會持續下去。 Greene has started two of the last three games as an injury replacement for Nocioni and Tyreke Evans. Evans missed Saturday's game in Houston because of a sprained right middle finger and a sore right ankle. 綠綠已經先發兩場。 If Evans can't play tonight, Greene will be ready to start. 如果Evans今晚不能打，綠綠還會先發。 Westphal had a reason for starting Greene rather than Casspi last week. It was a bit of psychology that ultimately could improve the entire team. 西佛已經找好理由為什麼是綠綠而不是卡斯比。 "I think when you have a starter go out, it makes sense to jump somebody over and keep as many players in their comfort zone as possible," Westphal said. "And also you give a shot of confidence to the player that gets the start. So that was my thinking, and everybody's responding. And Donté's played real well." 「我想如果有個先發掛了，讓某個人跳出來，然後盡可能地保持許多球員待在他們舒服的區域是很合理的。這就是我的想法，而且綠綠打得真的很棒」 Greene averaged 18.5 points in his two starts. Saturday, he made all five of his shots and had 13 points. Greene also continues to buy into playing a more disciplined game on offense and focusing on defense to earn Westphal's trust. 綠綠兩次先發平均得了18.5分。禮拜六他投5中5得了13分。綠綠也持續在攻守上打得越來越有紀律去奪得西佛的信任。 "I just attribute (the improved play) to getting in early, getting up shots, working, not knowing when my number's going to get called," Greene said. 「我只是早一點進來、投籃和工作，並不知道什麼時候叫到我」綠綠說。 Greene continues to be asked to use his 6-foot-11 frame in ways that are new to him. He's being asked to use his athleticism to defend shorter players on the perimeter, which he has done. Greene often mentions his defense as his way to get on the court. 綠綠持續被要求多方利用他6'11的身材，對他而言很新鮮。他一直被要求用他的運動能力去防守在外圍的較矮小的球員，他做得很好。 And with more playing time, Greene occasionally has shown he can be a factor playing more than one position. 隨著上場時間的增加，綠綠偶爾展現了他會是個關鍵因子，而不只是上場充人數的。 "I thought Donté was very, very good," Westphal said after Saturday's loss. "He was just picking his spots and was versatile. We had him playing some (shooting) guard, some (power forward) and some (small forward), and he was real solid out there. Very professional." 「我認為綠綠真的棒透了，他扛起了他的位子而且非常多功能。我們讓他有時候打SG、PF 和SF，而且有時候他表現真的很好，非常專業」 Greene won't know until game time tonight if he'll start. 綠綠直到比賽時間才知道他是否先發。 Evans injured his hand Friday against Dallas. The rookie guard is averaging 18.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists. Evans said he'd only "tweaked" his ankle and that his hand was merely sore. Tonight would be Evans' first NBA game in Memphis, where he starred for one season at the University of Memphis. Evans說他只是扭了他的腳踝，他的手只是有點痠。 Westphal, however, won't allow Evans' desire to play get in the way of the picture. 西佛不會讓Evans上場的。 "If the doctor suggests he not play, he's not playing," Westphal said. "If the doctor says it's up to the player and the way he feels, then it's up to the player. I never try to force my will on that kind of thing. There's always another day if a guy can't play." 「如果醫生建議他不要打，他就不會上場。如果醫生是說取決於球員自己的感覺，那就球員自己決定。我從未試著去強迫我的意志在那樣子的事，如果球員不能打就算了，還有別天嘛」 Greene's motivation isn't just about this season. The Kings picked up the option for the third year of his contract next season, but Greene realizes nothing is guaranteed beyond that. 國王執行綠綠下一季的選擇權，但綠綠了解那並不能保障什麼。 "You've just got to be ready in this league," Greene said. "I'm trying to get to my second contract, get some more minutes and show that I deserve to be out there." 「你在這聯盟中就必須準備好，我正試著去得到我的第二個合約，得到更多時間去展現我值得在那裡」綠綠說 ===================================================== 綠綠加油，有綠綠跳出來，2、3、4號就多了一個可用之兵，其他人皮繃緊一點啊。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.130.141.241
