http://0rz.tw/boluB No one can pretend this was the plan, that Beno Udrih and Tyreke Evans as the Kings' backcourt was the product of much deliberation or design. 沒有人可以假裝這是過去所計劃的，Beno和reke的後場搭檔純屬巧合。 Quite the opposite, in fact. Udrih was seen as the resident underachiever in June, when the Kings entered the NBA draft intending to find his replacement after he played poorly in the first year of his five-year, $32 million deal signed in the summer of 2008. Beno因為去年的表現被認為是高薪低就。 That makes the team's current landscape all the more intriguing. 這使得球隊目前的狀態更讓人興奮。 Not only is the sixth-year player's career alive and well, but Udrih has become the closest the Kings have to a viable complement to Evans and his sometimes challenging style. 不只是因為Beno的復活，還有Beno已經是國王中最能夠和reke搭檔的人，而且有時候他還會去挑戰他。 If Evans overdribbles or misses priceless offensive chances, there's a point guard nearby to point it out. If there's a dry spell in Udrih's deft pick-and-roll game, Evans can take over the attack in a dynamic way. 如果reke過度運球或者錯失了重要的進攻機會，還有個PG可以就近指出。如果有時候Beno 的PNR跑不出來，REKE就會跳出來掌控局面。 "He played for a championship team, so he knows more than I know," Evans said of Udrih, who was a reserve on San Antonio's title teams in 2005 and 2007. "Any chance he gets to tell me something, I listen if it's bad or good. At the end of the day, it's going to help me get better, so that's the role he has, and that's why I like having him on my team." 「他打過冠軍球隊，所以他知道的比我多，只要他跟我說一些東西，我會聽看看是好是壞，都會幫助我變得更好，所以那就是他所扮演的角色，也就是為什麼我喜歡有他在我的球隊」reke在講Beno。 The combination is part of coach Paul Westphal's five-pronged attack. He favors this lineup largely because Evans, Udrih, Omri Casspi, Carl Landry and Spencer Hawes are capable scorers. But Udrih and Evans' ability to co-exist and collaborate has been a bonus, as the Kings have won three of four games with this backcourt. 這個組合是西佛全域進攻的一部分，他他很喜歡這個先發陣容是因為reke、Beno、omri、洗衣店和Hawes都有能力進攻。但Beno和reke能夠共存和合作已經是個紅利，國王最近用這後場贏了四場中的三場。 "It's not like you can't approach (Evans) and say something, or that he can't approach me and say something to me," Udrih said. "He's a rookie. He's already a good player. I'm not saying he doesn't know how to play, but sometimes I'm right, and sometimes he's right, too." 「這並不像是你不能去對reke說事情，或者他不能接近我跟我說事情。他是個菜鳥，他已經是個好球員，我並不是說他不懂得如何打球，但有時候我是對的，有時候他是對的」 Beno說 The combination was key to the Kings' early-season surge, and the team that is 21-40 overall has gone 9-6 when Udrih and Evans have started together. 這個組合是國王球季初發飆的關鍵，當Beno和reke先發時9勝6敗，目前戰績為21勝40敗。 After Kevin Martin's wrist injury created a vacancy, Westphal inserted Udrih into the starting lineup and was rewarded with a 15-point, four-assist, no-turnover outing in the Kings' win at Utah on Nov. 7. That victory started a four-game winning streak. 這在講KM受傷後的安排，不翻。 A four-game skid followed, prompting Westphal to begin his season-long practice of tinkering with a starting lineup that has had 25 versions. 之後又四連敗，使得西佛開始發揮他的創意，用了25種不同的先發陣容。 Yet even after Martin was traded to Houston on Feb. 17, Westphal left Udrih in his reserve role for the first three games. Coincidentally, he was in the starting lineup Feb. 26 against Utah – as he had been in early November – and success again ensued. 在KM被換走後，頭三場比賽西佛讓Beno繼續擔任替補。巧合的是，他又在對上宅爵的時候先發，又再一次成功了。 "I wasn't sure how it would shake out (after Martin was traded)," Westphal said. "It just had to develop, and really look at a few options before we'd know. … But I think they really feed off each other. They're both very versatile, and that's always a good thing in a backcourt. They kind of fill in each other's gaps." 「我不確定這會怎樣(在KM被換走後)，就必須去開發，在我們能夠知道之前去看某些選項，但我想他們真的能夠互補。他們都很多功能，而對後場而言這是件好事，他們可以填補彼此的空缺」西佛說。 Without Udrih's open-minded attitude, his situation might never have improved. He refused to respond to widespread criticism during the summer, and insisted all season that his focus was on contributing to the team, whether he started or was a reserve. 如果沒有Beno開放的態度，他的情況不會好轉。 Now, Udrih has regained significant respect around the league not only with his play but with his durability. Deemed fragile in his three seasons with the Spurs, he has played in 131 of 143 games since the start of last season. Beno在聯盟中又重獲尊重，不只是因為他的表現，還因為他的耐久度。在馬刺的三個球季他被認為是玻璃人，自從上個賽季開始打了143場比賽中的131場。 "All you can do is accept (what happens) and do what you're here to do – play basketball," said Udrih, who is averaging 14.3 points and 4.6 assists as a starter this season. "It's easier if you deal with it that way, and maybe makes Tyreke think: 'You know what? He's really cool. He didn't complain about it.' 「你所能做的就是接受而且做你該做的--打球。如果你用這種方式處理它會更容易點，而且也許會讓reke想說"你知道嗎？他真的很酷，他都不會抱怨"」Beno說 "People thinking (Evans would take his job) basically don't really know basketball. They just think, 'Oh, well, that's Beno's job.' Well, I still have a job, right? So I didn't lose my job. … There are 12 players on a team. It's not a one-man job." 「12個人才能組成一支球隊」 -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 219.70.206.103
