Thompson's rut parallels Kings' slide 小湯的低迷導致國王失足 http://0rz.tw/RfcWX By Sam Amick Samick@sacbee.com Published: Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2010 - 12:00 am | Page 5C Last Modified: Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2010 - 8:45 am When the Kings started their season with a 9-8 record that earned them the early honor as a surprise team in the league, Jason Thompson deserved as much praise as anyone. 當國王開季以九勝八負成為聯盟的大驚奇時，這份榮耀小湯居功厥偉。 And just as there was a correlation between the Kings' strong play and that of the second-year forward, the opposite has taken place recently. 球隊的打出令人激賞的球賽內容與小湯的好表現息息相關，然而小湯近期的表現卻不大如意。 Thompson is in quite a rut these last five games as the Kings have gone 1-4. Or, as he would call it, a "funk." In that span, he is averaging nine points on 35.1 percent shooting, 7.6 rebounds and 3.4 turnovers per game. 近五場比賽小湯打的很糟，而球隊也只繳出一勝四敗的慘澹戰績。如同小湯自己所說的「爛斃了」，這段期間小湯平均每場得九分命中率三成五一，七點六籃板以及三點四次失誤。 "I've never been in this type of funk before, (or) maybe I have," Thompson said while pausing to recollect. "In (July) summer league (in Las Vegas) was the last time I said 'funk.' … It's more mental than anything. 小湯說：「我從來沒打的這麼狼狽過，上一次我用「爛透了」形容我自己是在夏季聯盟的時候。這段期間真的很煎熬。」 "Especially with guys being injured, I want to step up. I did that early on, but now (the shot is) not going in for me and I've just got to be mature about it as to how I respond rather than let it affect me on the court." 特別是當隊上有傷兵的時候，我應該要貢獻更多，球季初期我做到了，但現在我卻百投不進，我必須要成熟面對，不要讓它影響我在場上的表現。 Thompson was just 2 of 8 from the field against Denver on Saturday, grabbing five rebounds while playing a season-low 21 minutes. 上一場對丹佛的表現，小湯投八中二抓下五個籃板，而且只上場本季新低的二十一分鐘。 "That's the way this game is – it comes and goes," Kings coach Paul Westphal said. "I think sometimes when your shot's not going, you start worrying about it a little bit and that makes things worse. 西法說不過是一場比賽，讓它隨風而逝吧。他覺得有時候球員容易因為手感的不順想太多，進而影響自己的表現。 "(But) we have to remember he's only in his second year and he's trying to feel his way through all these situations. I think if you look at anybody through the course of the season, they're going to have highs and lows, and this is a low. But he doesn't have very many of them." 但小湯只是一個二年級生，他正在學習讓情況改善。當你去觀察一個球員整季的表現時，總會有高低起伏，小湯現在剛好在跌停板，不過他不會持續低迷下去的。 Thompson's overall production has still improved from last season, from his scoring (11.1 points per game last season to 14.7 this season) to his rebounding (7.4 to 9.1) to his blocks (0.7 to 1.0 per game). Nonetheless, the increases are almost proportionate with his increase in playing time (28.1 minutes per game last season to 35.3). 小湯的平均成績比上季進步，得分由11.1進步到14.7，籃板由7.4進步到9.1，封蓋也由0.7 進步到1.0，同時這些成績也是因為上場時間的增加而進步﹝每場28.1分鐘增加為35.3分鐘 ﹞。 Thompson should soon have more big-man help as well. Second-year small forward Donté Greene (6-foot-10) is expected to return tonight from a three-game absence because of a right ankle sprain. Hilton Armstrong, a 6-11 frontcourt player who was acquired from New Orleans on Monday, could be ready to play by Friday's game at Philadelphia. 小湯需要其他大個子的幫忙。因為右踝扭傷而缺陣三場的同梯的小綠今天的比賽可望上場，星期一從紐澳良交易來黑柱Hilton Armstrong，六呎十一吋的禁區球員星期五對費城的比賽應該就能上場。 The Kings sorely need help defending the rim, as they are ranked 23rd in the percentage of opponents' points that come in the paint (43.3). 球隊的禁區防守極需要加強，平均每場禁區被對手得分達43.3分，排在聯盟的第二十三名。 "He can definitely help us out on the defensive and getting rebounds and bringing energy," said Thompson, who will match up against Orlando center Dwight Howard tonight. "I try to protect (the basket) as much as I can. It's kind of unfortunate that when I do play physical at times, I get called for a foul. And if I play a little softer, then it's just easy buckets. I've got to find that in-between game." 小湯說Hilton Armstrong可以加強球隊的防守並重新注入活力。小湯將在今晚對魔術的比賽遇上魔獸，小湯說；「我會盡我所能地保護籃框，或許我在肢體碰撞的時候會被吹犯規，但我不能因此示弱，否則就會讓魔獸輕鬆得分。我會在之間取得平衡。」 -- 有消息指出為了賣酒駕，球隊會增加他的上場時間來增加賣相，此舉將會打壓到卡卡的上場時間。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.167.172.166 ※ 編輯: kingpredrag 來自: 118.167.172.166 (01/13 03:03)
