New Orleans Hornets backup shooting guard Marcus Thornton's role diminishing Published: Thursday, November 11, 2010, 4:52 PM Updated: Thursday, November 11, 2010, 5:31 PM 原文連結：http://0rz.tw/qAcIZ Though he played 30 minutes and scored 17 points against the San Antonio Spurs two weeks ago, New Orleans Hornets backup guard Marcus Thornton’s role appears to be diminishing. 雖然兩個星期前對馬刺他上場30分鐘拿下了17分，不過MT的影響力似乎在減少中… He did not get off the bench in Tuesday night’s victory against the Los Angeles Clippers and played only five minutes and did not score last Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks. 他對快艇的比賽沒有上場，而再上一場對公鹿的比賽上場了5分鐘沒有任何的得分。 “Everybody thinks Marcus did something wrong, but it’s not that,’’ said Coach Monty Williams, who has led the Hornets to a franchise-record 7-0 start. “It’s all on me, what I feel is best for our team, yet he’s getting better defensively. 帶領黃蜂邁向開季七連勝的教練Monty說：大家都認為MT做錯什麼事情，但並不是這樣的。這是我的決定，我覺得我們是最好的球隊，而他的防守則是越來越好了。 “I know I can put him in the game and he can put some points on the board, but that’s not the whole game. The thing that people forget is that I am his fourth coach (including LSU Coach Trent Johnson) in about a year and a half and that’s a lot on a guy.’’ Monty說：我知道我可以讓他上場，他也可以貢獻一些分數。但這不是比賽的全部。這會讓人忘了一件事情，我是他的第四位教練（包含大學時期的Trent Johnson）再這一年半的時間裡，對他而言這是一個很大的問題。 Desiring depth, there is a logjam at the backup guard spots with Willie Green, Jerryd Bayless and Thornton. Wanting Green and Bayless in the game, Williams said he played rookie forward Quincy Pondexter to take advantage of his size defensively against the Clippers. 板凳深度上後衛有威力綠、貝勒、MT。比賽中Monty則大多是讓威力綠和貝勒上場， Monty表示對快艇他讓Quincy Pondexter上場是因為他可以利用他的身高去防守對手。 “It's hard to play three small guards in the (Western Conference),’’ Williams said. “Having Marcus, Jerryd and Willie out there, puts a lot of pressure on Willie.’’ Monty說：在西區的比賽，讓三個小後衛上場比賽會很難打，有MT、貝勒、威力綠再這裡，可以給威力綠添加一些壓力。 Regardless of Thornton’s limited role, the Hornets’ backups have been vital. During the fourth quarter against the Clippers, the Hornets’ backups scored 30 of New Orleans’ 31 points. Green scored 15 of his game-high 19 points in the quarter while guard Bayless scored 11 of his 15. 撇開MT的貢獻有限，板凳群仍然是球隊重要的一個環節。對快艇的比賽，第四節板凳的得分拿下全隊31分中的30分。威力綠這節拿下15分，全場拿下19分。貝勒則是這節拿下他全場19分中的11分。 “The team is winning, so it’s all good right now – everything is good,’’ Thornton said. “I’m happy for the team, and I’m going to continue to support them. When you are not having a good game, we have guys that can step up and carry the load.'' MT說：球隊贏了，所以這沒什麼問題—什麼都好。我很替球隊感到高興，我也會繼續支持球隊。當你沒辦法上場比賽時，我們仍然可以加強自己的能力。 -- 大概翻一下，有錯勿怪。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.42.0.181
