Phoenix Suns' skid goes to 7 games with loss against Orlando Magic By Paul Coro azcentral sports Sun Dec 9, 2012 9:35 PM Watching the Suns can feel like it has never looked this bad since the last time they played a season without Steve Nash. Now, it is true. 自從上次Nash缺賽後，從沒看過太陽隊會這麼遭，但現在是真的 For the first time since February 2004, the Suns are on a seven-game losing streak after dropping a Sunday night matchup that they should have no business losing at home against an Orlando team with similar struggles at the end of a Western swing. 自從2004年2月後第一次，太陽7連敗，在週日晚上對上魔術隊依然繼續殞落，目前努力追逐西區爐主 After the 28th-ranked offense scored 81 and 82 in two previous road losses, the Magic (8-12) became the third losing team to beat the Suns during this skid by making 52 percent — 8 percentage points better than its average — of their shots. 前兩場比賽拿下81與82分，全聯盟排名第28(也就是倒數第三了)，魔術隊命中率52% Just like Saturday’s loss, the Suns entered the fourth quarter within a point but faded away to move to 0-5 in the second game of back-to-back sets this season. The Suns surrendered 12 of Orlando’s first 18 fourth-quarter points in the paint to fall back as they tried to play catch-up from 3-point land, where they made only 5 of 20 shots Sunday night. In the weekend’s fourth quarters, the Suns made 1 of 14 3-point tries while their opponents were 64 percent from the field in the two games. 跟星期六一樣，太陽隊進入第四節時還差一分，但是後繼無力被0-5，本季第二場比賽這樣，第四節太陽12分魔術隊18分時太陽隊快投降了，嘗試以3分挽救，不過今天投20中5，上周末兩場比賽第四節3分14投中1，而對手命中率64% “We have to be able to step up our defense and be able to come up with stops and not have guys just lay the basketball up in the lane when we’re trying to make a comeback — time after time after time,” Suns coach Alvin Gentry said with his voice rising in anger as his talk continued about this defense, which entered the night giving up the third highest shooting percentage in the league. 簡崔教練講到防守時越講越火大， “我們必須做好防守，讓對手停止(進攻)，一次又一次地，我們也試著重新上軌道” The Suns were missing their leading scorer, Goran Dragic, due to a flu bug that he tried to play through Saturday and dropped six pounds off his body by Sunday. Defensive stopper P.J. Tucker also was held out for a second consecutive game to due to the knee he sprained Thursday night. 太陽隊得分王抓雞雞缺陣，因為星期日試圖讓自己減少6磅而感冒，小鎖Tucker也因為膝蓋扭到缺賽 “We have no excuses,” Gentry said. 簡崔說”我們沒任何理由” After back-to-back games, the Suns (7-15) normally would be off today but that was taken away from them after Sunday’s effort, which including watching a rookie that worked out for them post his career highs in points and rebounds. Power forward Andrew Nicholson, the 19th overall pick, posted 20 points and nine rebounds and applied the dagger when Orlando had to call timeout with five seconds left on the shot clock late in the fourth quarter and clinging to a five-point lead. The Suns lost Nicholson on the inbound and he made an open jumper to complete his 9-for-11 shooting night. 二連敗後，太陽讓一個菜鳥大前鋒Nicholson得到生涯新高的得分與籃板(第19順位)20分9 籃板也擊落太陽了，當奧蘭多不得不叫暫停時，第四節還剩5秒的進攻時間，也維持5分的領先優勢，讓他11投中9 “We desperately needed a win,” Suns power forward Luis Scola said. “We just couldn’t pull it off and that’s very bad for us. “It looks like, at times, we’re moving in the right direction and then we do something like this and we go back to square one. Then we start playing better and something like this happens again. “We’ve got to change things around or it’s going to be a long year.” 史科拉說”我們真的需要一勝，我們輸到無法自拔，我們每次都發展得很好，而且都越打越好，不過劇場就發生了” This seven-game skid is unfamiliar territory for those who have been around the franchise for a while. Only San Antonio, Dallas and Phoenix had avoided such a skid over the past nine NBA seasons until the Suns unraveled to fall close to the Western Conference basement. 我們對7連戰很不熟悉，過去九年只有馬刺小牛太陽沒有7連敗過 “Every game, we find different ways to lose,” Suns swingman Jared Dudley said. “With a young team, that can happen. We’ve got to find our identity, keep our substitution patterns so people know when they’re getting in and getting out and you’ve got to build on it. Usually toward the end of the game, you can see how not having a go-to guy can hurt us at times. We’ve got to be confident and play together. We do that in the spurts. But in crunch time, we tend to get timid and not run the sets the way they should be run.” 太陽攻守達人達利說”每場比賽我們都找到不同的輸法，對上年輕球隊也是，必須找到我們的特性，保持輪值模式，讓大家知道何時要進或出，這是必須做的，通常在接近尾聲時，你可以看到有一大展身手的傢伙可以傷害我們的，我們必須有自信點並團結，但在關鍵時刻，我們往往膽怯且不跑動。” 原文:http://0rz.tw/gxIBm -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.114.46.42 ※ 編輯: p19890506 來自: 140.114.46.42 (12/10 14:16)
