http://0rz.tw/ld4aS It's hard to overcome being the worst-shooting team in the NBA. The Kings learned that again after another sub-.400 shooting night in a 96-88 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday at US Airways Center. NBA投射最弱的國王在另一次不到4成命中率狀況下以96-88輸給太陽。 It was the Kings' third consecutive loss and ninth in their past 11 games. 3連敗，最近2勝9敗。 Sacramento shot 38.4 percent against the Suns, the 12th time the Kings have shot below 40 percent this season. They are 2-10 in those games and are shooting 41.3 percent for the season. 38.4%命中率，第12次低於40%，本季命中率41.3%。 The game looked promising offensively for the Kings after one quarter, but their scoring declined the rest of the way. Sacramento scored 32 points in the first quarter but failed to top 20 in any of the last three periods. 第一節32分很好很強大，但是之後就熄火，剩下3節都不超過20分。 The Kings had just 36 points in the second half and watched a 71-70 lead entering the fourth quarter become an 85-74 deficit with 7:45 to play. Sacramento used an 8-0 run to trail 85-82 with 3:32 to play, but Steve Nash made a three-pointer, and the Kings were no closer than four points the rest of the game. 下半場只有36分，第四節71-70後被打了一波14-4，追到85-82後被Nash一球三分擊沉。 Kings coach Keith Smart said if the team is going to improve and win close games, his players must make take better shots and score near the basket. "We were taking tough, contested shots, not finishing shots in the paint," Smart said. "We had several opportunities to finish a play in the paint, and we didn't finish those. That's going to be the thing. It's not necessarily the jump shots – we can live with those." 聰明哥認為如果球隊正在進步而且贏了一場close game，那籃框附近的進攻必須更好。「我們在籃框下常濫投，而且都不會進，明明有不少機會，但就是進不了。」 The Kings outscored the Suns 58-42 in the paint but shot only 29 of 63 (46 percent) from there. "That's something that drastically is going to have to change for our team," Smart said. Kings center DeMarcus Cousins shot 7 of 20. In his past two games, he is shooting 12 of 36 (33 percent). "Honestly, I don't know what it is, but I know I haven't been to the line in a long time," Cousins said. "So that could come into play. I don't know." Cousins is 2 of 2 from the free-throw line in his past two games, with both shots coming Sunday. He entered the game 13th in the NBA with 194 free-throw attempts. Cousins said with the number of players the Kings have who drive to the basket, it's hard to believe they attempted only 14 free throws against the Suns. "We're missing a lot of buckets, and there's contact being made," Cousins said. 表弟20投中7，最近兩場命中率33%。「事實上，我不知道怎麼了，我不在狀況內很久了。」表弟說。表弟說雖然隊上有一堆人常常試圖進攻籃框，但很難相信這場只有14次罰球。「我們miss了很多球，而且也有肢體接觸。」 Sacramento made 10 of its 14 free-throw attempts (71.4 percent). Phoenix was 11 of 16 (68.8 percent) from the line. Marcus Thornton led the Kings (12-25) with 21 points on 9-of-23 shooting. Tyreke Evans scored 17 points on 8-of-18 shooting with seven rebounds and six assists. Cousins finished with 16 points and 14 rebounds. Nash led Phoenix (17-20) with 19 points and seven assists. Center Marcin Gortat had 14 points, 17 rebounds and two blocked shots for the Suns, who won their third game in a row. 國王：罰球 10-14 MT 9-23 21pts TE 8-18 17pts 7reb 6ast DMC 16pts 14reb 太陽：罰球 11-16 Nash 19pts 7ast Gortat 14pts 17reb 2 Blk Evans said the Kings defended well enough to win. "I don't think we made enough shots in the fourth quarter," he said. "We got stops, but we didn't make shots. A few layups we missed (and) mid-range jump shots." The Kings made only 8 of their 21 shots (38 percent) in the fourth quarter. "We've got to concentrate on making shots," Thornton said. "Repetition in practice. When we're going through walkthroughs, shoot game shots, and when we get into games, it will be second-nature." Evans認為國王的防守足以贏球。「我認為我們第四節命中率太低，我們整個熄火了。不管是上籃還是中距離。」Evans說。「我們應該專注在進球上，經常練習，到場上就會成為習慣。」MT說。 ============================= 看來表弟最近正處在低潮，大家的命中率.... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.248.166.139 ※ 編輯: strayfate 來自: 111.248.166.139 (03/06 00:01)
