Double-digit deficits are no problem for 2013-14 Phoenix Suns Many NBA teams might seem finished when they fall behind by double digits. 大多數的NBA比賽當中落後達二位數比分時，一般來說都會宣告比賽結果，進入垃圾時間。 For the Suns at home, they often are just beginning. 但對太陽隊來說，這才是比賽的開始。 With the way the Suns play and how their comeback confidence built early in the season, they are never rattled by a dangerous deficit and never short on fearless fortitude that they can rally. 太陽隊總是不放棄贏球的任何可能，不會因為大幅落後而放棄了翻盤的機會，無畏而堅毅地團結起來。 When the Suns came back from a 16-point, third-quarter hole to beat Oklahoma City on Thursday night, it marked their eighth home victory in which they had trailed by double digits. They have done that twice on the road, although their resilience nearly brought them from 18 down at Detroit, 14 down at New York and 18 down at Houston before losing each of those games by three points or fewer. 在星期四晚上對上雷霆隊的比賽，第三節時太陽落後達16分，而這場若拿下即為他們的第八場主場勝利當中，他們已經輸了兩位數以上的分數。而一樣的狀況，太陽隊過去客場對上活塞、尼克、火箭，也曾落後達18、14、18分，雖然太陽皆落敗，但仍可以追到三分以內。 “These guys have done that all year,” Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said. “We get down and they keep playing. Sometimes, somebody gets hot like Gerald (Green), like he did (with a career-high 41 points Thursday), and you get right back in the game and the momentum shifts to us. The guys all picked it up.” 「這些傢伙都做到了」總教練Hornacek說：「情勢對我們不利，但他們仍持續奮戰不懈。像是Gerald Green，他在星期四的比賽中得到了生涯新高41分，最終使比賽的氣勢成功地對我們有利，這些傢做到了。」 The Suns can catch up in a hurry when they play aggressively with their league-leading fast-break offense and a capability to get on a 3-point shooting tear. The Suns make the third most 3-pointers in the league with 9.4 per game and connected on 15 on Thursday night. 太陽隊擁有聯盟頂尖的快攻攻勢和三分彈雨。太陽隊平均每場比賽可以砍下9.4顆三分彈，排行聯盟第三。而在對雷霆的比賽當中，他們則投進了15顆三分球。 Green made six (tied a franchise record) in his 25-point third quarter (one shy of a franchise record). G.Green在第三節的25分單節得分當中，就包含著六顆三分球。 “That just lifts the whole team,” Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant said. 「這鼓舞了他們整支球隊。」KD說。 “NBA players are tough to stop once they are rolling,” Hornacek said. “That ’s what happens to Gerald. The thing that makes him unique. Some guys you can get up into and challenge a shot a little harder. Well, Gerald just jumps over the top of everybody and shoots it. These guys are playing good defense. ” 「一旦手感發燙，就難以阻擋了，這就是NBA球員，」Hornacek繼續說「而G.Green當時就是這樣，他當時已經是一夫當關、萬夫莫敵。防守他的球員已經讓他難以出手了。但 Green就只是發揮他的體能，跳投，然後命中。不得不說對手其實已經做足了防守。」 Twin power The Morris twins are so close that they deserve a joint career-high notation. Morris兄弟則展現出了他們聯手的優質表現。 In each of the past two wins, Marcus and Markieff Morris have combined for 39 points off the bench (vs. Oklahoma City on Thursday and Atlanta on Sunday). That matched their best combined scoring game, set twice this season against Denver. 他們在對抗金塊隊、雷霆隊和老鷹隊的比賽當中從板凳出發，都一共拿下了39分。 The twins each have scored at least 15 points in the past three wins. 他們在過去的三場勝利當中，都聯手拿下只少15分。 “They were post-up guys in college,” Hornacek said. “We have them shoot some 3s but we really like them coming off the bench and getting in the post. They have great moves inside. If they have a size advantage, they can back a guy in and take a turnaround. Markieff realized that they (the Thunder) were (crowding) him so he went quickly. Those are smart post-up moves by him.” 對此，Hornacek說：「他們在大學時代都是擅長低位單打的球員，但是他們現在的攻擊範圍已經可以拉到三分線外。而我們真得需要他們所帶來的板凳戰力。他們也具有良好的禁區步伐。如果他們對上的球員是明顯弱於自己的身材，他們就會往裡面打。Markieff看出來雷霆隊的防守陣型缺點，所以他以快速的移動應戰。這是非常聰明的方法。」 Free throws When Green missed one of three free throws late in the third quarter, it left him one point shy of Stephon Marbury’s franchise record of 26 points in a quarter. It also ended Green’s string of 29 consecutive made free throws. He has moved into the league’s top 20 free-throw shooters, converting a career-high 85.2 percent to tie for 19th. The team is at 75.8 percent, which ranks 15th. Green投丟了一顆罰球使他無法追上Stephon Marbury單節26分的紀錄，這同時也終止了 Green連續29顆罰球命中的紀錄。他已經是聯盟當中前20名的罰球好手，他本季的罰球命中率是85.2%，排行聯盟第19，同時也是生涯新高。而太陽隊全隊則是75.8%，排行聯盟第 15。 — For the second time in five games, the smallest Suns player, 6-foot guard Ish Smith, grabbed a career-high eight rebounds Thursday night. Oklahoma City was ranked eighth in rebounding but the Suns outrebounded the Thunder 44-33. 在同一場比賽，全太陽隊最矮的球員，6尺的I.Smith，抓下了生涯新高的8籃板，這是他進五場比賽當中的第二次。雖然雷霆隊是全聯盟籃板排行第8名的球隊，但在這場比賽當中，他們卻輸了11個籃板（Suns : Thunder ＝ 44：33） — The Suns went 224 games without a 40-point scorer after Amar’e Stoudemire scored 44 on March 19, 2010. Goran Dragic (40 on Feb. 28) and Green did it six days apart. 太陽已經有224場比賽沒有人得分超過40分，上一次的紀錄要追溯到2010年3月19日由 Aamre砍下44分。不過最近這六天就有G.Dragic和G.Green達成這項記錄。 — On TNT’s “Inside the NBA,” analyst Charles Barkley touted Green as Most Improved Player and Hornacek as Coach of the Year on Thursday night but also predicted that the Suns would not make the playoffs. 在TNT的「Inside the NBA」節目當中，前太陽隊明星球員Barkley預測Green將會是最佳進步獎得主、而Hornacek則是年度最佳教練，不過他也認為太陽隊沒有辦法打進季後賽。 He added, “If I’m at the top of the Western Conference, I would rather play Phoenix than Memphis. Phoenix is a jump-shooting team. You can play defense against jump shooters, but when you’ve got big (Memphis center Marc) Gasol and (Memphis power forward Zach) Randolph down there … they’re a handful for anybody.” 巴爵士補充：「如果我是西區第一種子的球員，我寧願對上太陽也不要打灰熊。現在的太陽隊是一支跳投大隊。你可以守住射手，但你絕對拿大個子沒輒，像是M.Gasol跟 Z.Randolph這樣的禁區組合，他們是現在聯盟少有的。」我的第三篇翻譯～～希望可以有進步T_T 資料來源：http://ppt.cc/ING3 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.36.232.103
