Hedo Turkoglu: The Mr.Fourth Quarter that the Phoenix Suns have been missing. Posted by Mike Schmitz on July 14th, 9:44 am Every great team needs a closer that they can trust with the clock winding down and the ball in his hands. 所有優秀的隊伍，都需要一個能在關鍵時刻持球的球員。 When crunch time rolls around, championship-caliber teams turn to a player with no fear of failure, willing to risk his own reputation for a shot at glory. 當關鍵時刻來臨，強隊們會把球交給那位無畏的球員，願意將自己的名譽作為賭注，去承擔最後一擊。 The Lakers have it in Kobe Bryant, the Mavericks have it in Dirk Nowitzki, the Nuggets have it in Carmelo Anthony, now the Suns may very well have found their Mr. Fourth Quarter in Hedo Turkoglu. 湖人有鐵拐，小牛有坦克，金塊有甜瓜。而現在，太陽終於得到了他們的第四節先生。 No, the 6-foot-10 playmaker isn’t nearly on the same level as Kobe, Dirk and Carmelo as a player. 雖然說，這個6尺10吋的控球前鋒還沒能夠站在和那三位超級巨星的同一個水平。 But despite a forgettable year in Toronto, Turkoglu possesses the “ice water in your veins” mindset, and has proven to be basketball’s version of Mariano Rivera at times throughout the last few seasons. 盡管土耳其先生經歷了一個糟糕的多倫多球季，被人形容在心態上有問題。但是他前幾季的表現，依舊十分亮眼。 And that closer type is the exact player the Phoenix Suns have always been missing. 而像他這種具有終結者特質的球員，正是太陽一直缺乏的。 They thought they had that in Amare Stoudemire, but STAT’s never-ending disappearing acts in crunch time of playoff games put that notion to rest quickly. 曾經，我們以為阿嬤會是那個人，但他從未停止讓我們失望，特別是在季後賽的關鍵時刻。 Steve Nash has been unbelievably clutch during his time in Phoenix, but it was hard to rely on a 6-foot-3 point guard to pull up for game-winners night in and night out. 老大有著神鬼般的關鍵能力，但是永遠依靠一個6尺3吋的控球後衛每晚表演最後一擊，是一件很艱難的事情。 Needless to say, the Suns have been hurting for a Mr. Clutch over the years, but Turkoglu should change that the second he dons the purple and orange. 無須多言，這麼多年來，我們不停的追求關鍵先生。而Hedo就是能夠改變這一切的人。 “I think he’s fearless,” said Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy in an interview. “I think he’s got that short memory.” "我認為他都不會恐慌，"很恐慌的恐慌大師說: "我認為他有那個特質。" Thanks to his height and his uncanny ability to create space, Turkoglu has been the guy with the ball in his hands late in games and more often than not he’s delivered. He carried the Orlando Magic to the Eastern Conference semi-finals in 2008 and the NBA Finals in 2009, nailing a slew of game-winners along the way. 靠著足夠的身高跟狡詐的能力去創造出他的空間，Hedo時常在比賽的最後時刻持球。他帶領魔術在08年闖入四強，並在09年跟湖人爭冠，所憑藉的，就是他許多次的關鍵表演。 He went off for 25 points and 12 assists in Game 7 of the 2009 Eastern Conference semi-finals to propel the Magic over the Celtics and eventually into the Finals. The series before that Turkoglu drilled a three-pointer with 1.1 seconds left in Game 4 against the Sixers to hand the Magic a three-point victory and a 3-1 series lead. 他用25分，12助攻的Nash式成績在09年第七戰逆轉擊敗波士頓，並且一路闖進冠軍賽。而在季後賽第一輪，他也賞了七六人一個痛快 - 最後1.1秒再見三分，帶領魔術3比1笑著離開費城。 Turkoglu was also stellar in the 2008 playoffs, averaging 17.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists while playing just under 40 minutes per contest. And the “Turkish Jordan” was even more clutch during the regular season, as he proved to be cold-blooded in crunch time no matter how many bricks he threw up the first 47 minutes. Hedo在08年的季後賽也同樣要耀眼，在不到40分鐘的時間內交出平均17.5，6.4籃板以及 5.5助攻的全能表現。這位"土耳其喬丹"在季賽時，更是多次證明了他的殺手特質，他能夠摧毀對手在前47分鐘所做的種種努力。 Not only does he bring that “clutch factor” to the Suns, but he can also serve as another playmaker and ball-handler next to Nash. It’s easy to make the argument that there isn’t room for Turkoglu to handle the ball, but that secondary facilitator, like a Mr. Fourth Quarter, is something the Suns have been missing since Joe Johnson bolted for Atlanta. Hedo不僅僅能夠提供他的關鍵能力，他同時能夠在場上扮演除了老大之外的另一個組織比賽的角色。即使這點很容易被質疑，因為似乎沒有多餘的機會讓Hedo持球了，但是像他這樣有著第四節先生特質的球員，是從鷹帝飛到鷹巢之後，太陽所缺乏的。 When Nash gets bottled up and has nowhere to go, Turkoglu can handle the ball and make plays. He creates huge mismatches and has proven he can facilitate the pick-and-roll effectively, which is highly important in the Suns offense. 當老大陷在銅牆鐵壁中無法自拔時，Hedo能夠接下組織比賽的責任。他有創造出顯著錯位的能力，也已經證明了自己是擋拆的高手，這在太陽的進攻體系中是很重要的。 So not only does he give the Suns a late-game performer, but he can also serve as that secondary ball-handler the Suns have been missing since Johnson left. 土耳其喬丹能夠給予太陽兩個相當大的作用，在關鍵時刻做出貢獻，以及成為太陽的第二號持球組織進攻發動者。 Turkoglu certain has some question marks surrounding him — age, contract, motivation, etc., — but the Suns know for sure that they are getting a player who isn’t afraid to take and make big shots when the game is on the line. 即使還是有許多問題質疑著他 - 年紀，對抗性，心態等等.. - 但是可以確定的是，太陽已經得到了一個具有抗壓性，不怕在關鍵時刻出手的球員。看來作者對於這個交易，是抱持著非常正面樂觀的態度，希望能夠一切順利囉。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.39.165.169
