Back to the Grand Kenyon Martin returning to his pre-Nuggets' level of intensity and power By Benjamin Hochman The Denver Post Article Last Updated: 02/08/2008 01:47:33 AM MST Beaches are nice this time of year, and with the money owed to Kenyon Martin, he could have relaxed on one. Or bought one. 每年這個時候的海灘是美麗的，而 Kenyon Martin 所擁有的錢絕對可以讓他去那好好休息一下，甚至買下一片海灘。 But the Nuggets' Martin didn't retire and limp off with guaranteed money after his second microfracture knee surgery. Instead, he diligently rehabilitated. And now, he is earning his money by banging his body against the big bullies in the paint. 但是Kmart在第二次的膝蓋 microfracture 手術後，並沒有退休或是一跛一跛地帶著保證薪資離開。而是勤奮的復健。現在，他在禁區內紮實的身體碰撞。 Lately, the power forward has played his best basketball of the season. Martin averages 10.7 points per game and 6.5 rebounds, but in the past five games he has averaged 13.0 and 8.8. 最近這名強力前鋒打出了他本季最佳的表現。本季平均10.7分和6.5籃板的Martin，在最近五場的成績是13分和8.8籃板。 "It's tough to come back from one microfracture, and he's coming back from two," Nuggets center Marcus Camby said. "Slowly but surely, he's getting back to running and getting himself as the Kenyon Martin from New Jersey. And we're definitely happy about that. And we definitely need it, with Nene being out." 「從一次microfracture手術回來已經很困難了，而他在兩次手術後回來了，」坎老大說「雖然緩慢，但是肯定地，他回來了，像當初從 New Jersey來的 Kenyon Martin一樣跑動著。我們當然對此非常高興。我們需要他，特別是睪戰士 Nene不在的時候。 Martin, who signed a seven-year, $92.5 million contract in 2004, was previously an all-star with the Nets, where he thrived on intense defense and mammoth dunks. He has been doing that lately for Denver. In Wednesday's overtime loss to the Jazz, Martin scored 18 points with 10 rebounds in 43 minutes. He also made four steals, tying a season-high. His double-double was the second in as many games, and fifth on the season. Martin 在2004年簽了一份7年 9250萬的合約，曾經是籃網隊的全明星球員，那時候他以極佳的防守和野獸灌籃聞名。這也是最近他為丹佛做的。星期三輸給阿爵的延長賽中， Martin 在43分鐘中得到18分外帶10籃板，同時還有平本季新高的*[m 4次抄截。他的double-double是過去幾場的第二次（？），也是本季的第五次。 "I'm healthy, and just trying to keep doing the same things I've been doing," Martin said. "And the more minutes I get, I think the more productive I can be." 「我很健康，並且試圖做到我以前能做的事」Martin 說「而上場時間愈長，我我相信能提供更多給球隊。」 Nene is out indefinitely following the removal of a testicular tumor, so Martin is really Denver's only brawny power forward. Nene 因為移除睪丸腫瘤而不確定何時才能回來，Kmart 就是丹佛唯一結實的PF。 While Martin's numbers are up, he pointed out that some of his most rewarding work isn't quantifiable. 當 Martin 的數據上升時，他提到一些貢獻並非是數據可以衡量的。 "The way this league is, people get caught up in numbers — steals, blocks, things like that," he said. "But I do my job well — I'm first and foremost known as a defender." 「在這個聯盟，大家通常注意那些數字--抄截、火鍋--這類」他說「但是我做好我的工作，我被認為是一個防守者。」 Fixing a hole. After Wednesday's overtime loss to Utah, in which Denver trailed by 15 at halftime, forward Carmelo Anthony spoke candidly about his team's frightening ability to dig itself first-half holes. 在星期三的延長賽輸給爵士後（半場就落後了15分），Melo直率地說金塊隊總在上半場就讓自己處於逆境。 Sometimes, as against Charlotte on Feb. 2, the Nuggets climb out of the hole to win. Against Utah, they caught up but couldn't win the game. Asked what could be done, coach George Karl said: "As coaches, most of the time when you play poorly it's: Play with more passion, play harder, play more together. When you're behind, there's no secret: Don't go more to individuals, do more together. And usually the game will reward you. We, at times, have an NBA cruise control, rather than put the foot down on the pedal and play aggressive early. If you play well early, sometimes you don't have to play late." 有時候，例如對2/2對山貓的比賽，金塊能追回來並且贏的比賽。而對爵士時，他們追上了但是沒有贏下來。被問到對此能做些什麼，老爹 Karl 說「對教練而言，打的不好的時候，要更積極、更努力、更團結。落後時，不能單打獨鬥，要展現更多團隊配合。而通常，會得到回報的。我們偶而能掌握節奏（？）最好是踩下油門，及早展現積極的態度，如果一開始就打的好，或許就不用打那麼久了。」 Looming injury bug. With two players out for a month, an open roster spot and numerous other injuries, Denver is often depleted. Karl said the Nuggets have practiced "probably less than five" times since Jan 1. "We do video and extended walk-throughs and shootaround. Most of the time, around Feb. 1 is when you cut back on practices anyway. But because of our injuries and circumstances and schedule, I think we've cut back a little bit more than normal." 有兩名球員缺席一個月，殘破的陣容和無數的傷痛，金塊隊常常是用盡資源的。 Karl 說金塊在1/1後的練習「可能少於5次」。「我們看影片和練習走位和投籃。大多數的時候，大約在2/1左右，必須減少練習。但因為我們的傷兵和賽程安排，我想我們必須減少一些。」來源︰ http://www.denverpost.com/nuggets/ci_8201876 第一次翻外電...有些部份請板友補充囉我是AI的球迷，從七六人跟來的來了之後就被Kmart的認真吸引了(還有JR) 第一次PO文就獻給他，我常常覺得他和JR真的是金塊隊很重要的因子! 希望他們有好的表現請大家多多指教：） -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.170.5.202
