[外電] Suns' Dragic sparks thoughts of Roddy

Before Dallas Mavericks fans raise pitch forks and march on Rick Carlisle's
office convinced that Goran Dragic's huge Game 3 could have been Roddy Beaubois
if only he'd been allowed to play all along, consider a few facts.
Dragic, the 6-foot-3 reserve guard whose stunning 26 points Friday night helped
give the Phoenix Suns a 3-0 series lead over Mavs ouster San Antonio, is a
second-year player whose rookie season closely resembled that of Beaubois'.
As a rookie, Dragic played in 55 games and averaged 13.2 minutes and 4.5
points. Beaubois played in 56 games and averaged 12.5 minutes and 7.1 points.
Dragic, a native of Slovenia, turned 24 on Thursday. Beaubois, from the French
territory of Guadeloupe, turned 22 in February. Dragic was a second-round pick,
taken 45th overall. Beaubois was the 25th pick last summer.
Had the Suns made the playoffs last season, how many minutes would young Dragic
have played? Probably not many.
Dragic grabbed a bigger role this season, playing in 80 games and averaging
18.0 minutes and 7.9 points off the bench. Beaubois is on a similar trajectory
in Dallas and it wouldn't be surprising if his second-season stats blow by
Dragic's numbers.
Prior to Dragic's huge Game 3 in which he ripped the Spurs defense with an
array of drives, spin and pivot moves in the paint and fatal 3-pointers --
everything Dallas was missing until Beaubois surfaced in Game 6 -- he was not
having a good postseason, averaging 5.6 points and shooting 34.9 percent from
the floor in 14.3 minutes.
Beaubois, playing behind veterans Caron Butler and Jason Terry got his first
postseason chance in Game 3 at San Antonio. After five tough minutes, he was
yanked and that was really that until Carlisle turned to him in a desperation
move in Game 6. Beaubois shined with 16 points in 21 minutes -- not too unlike
Dragic's Game 3 effort.
However, there is one glaring difference and this is where fans can and have
torched Carlisle for not sticking with the red-hot Beaubois in the fourth
quarter after starting him in the third quarter. Carlisle, who typically has
stayed true to what's working -- think J.J. Barea in Game 3 -- went the other
way on this occassion and put his trust in the cold-shooting Terry, who has a track record of clutch fourth-quarter performances, but was scoreless through three quarters.
Carlisle kept Beaubois on the bench for the first nine-plus minutes of the
fourth quarter as the game slowly slipped away. When Carlisle finally came back
to Beaubois, it was 89-81, and too late.
Gentry, to his credit, didn't dare remove the smoking Dragic throughout the
fourth quarter, which the Suns trailed, 72-71, to start it, as Phoenix's
starters watched from the bench. Steve Nash didn't get back on the floor until
the 3:16 mark of the fourth quarter, simply as insurance as the second-teamers
built a 100-89 lead. Gentry honored Dragic's effort by leaving him in. Nash
replaced Leandro Barbosa, while Jason Richardson, who was having an outstanding
game in his own right with 21 points, did not play the entire fourth quarter.
In hindsight, of course, a case could be made for Beaubois to have played more
in the Spurs series. Likewise, Dragic's Game 3 performance could suggest that
Gentry should have been playing Dragic more than the 14.3 minutes he was
averaging and maybe Dragic's 34.9 field-goal percentage would be higher with
more opportunity.
The fact is, Dragic just had one of those dream nights on a night the Suns
needed it. Patience Mavs fans, Beaubois' time, like Dragic's, is coming in his
second season.
太陽二年級生Goran Dragic在太陽與馬刺的第三戰拿下了驚人的26分，並助太陽取得3:0
的絕對領先，令人想到小牛在G6表現優異的小牛新秀Beaubois。
接下來是兩人的比較：
Dragic(45th):
1st year
G Min Pts
55 13.2 4.5
2nd year
G Min Pts
80 18 7.9
在第二輪G3前的季後賽表現：
14.3Min;5.6Pts;34.9FG%
而太陽教練Gentry在G3的第四節開始時仍然擺上他
那時比數71:72，太陽落後
而Nash在第四節3:16時上場
那時比數已是100:89，太陽領先
且Nash換下的不是Dragic，是Barbosa
Beaubois(22nd):
1st year
G Min Pts
56 12.5 7.1
身為Butler,Terry的替補，波霸在G3打了5分鐘，G5打了4分鐘
再來就是在G6被無計可施的卡帥擺上場
G6波霸的表現大家應該還記得，表現與G3的Dragic相差不遠
不過在他火熱的第三節之後卡帥在第四節之初放上了那天非常非常冷的Terry
(補充：最後Terry整場得了兩分= =)
而波霸在板凳上坐了九分鐘
上場的時候是81:89，為時已晚
Dragic的確在太陽最需要他的時候 打出了屬於自己的精彩夜晚
小牛迷，就耐心等待波霸大放異彩的那天吧…
可能沒有翻得很精準，有誤還請指正
