Return of Spurs' backcourt stars means new roles for Mason, Hill http://0rz.tw/2d59e Web Posted: 12/01/2008 11:28 CST By Jeff McDonald - Express-News Spurs guard Roger Mason Jr. was an architecture major, not a math major, at the University of Virginia. Yet even he can read the arithmetic on the wall. There are 48 minutes in a regulation NBA basketball game. Only five players can play at a time. With the recent addition of erstwhile injured guards Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker to the lineup, Mason is prepared for the inevitable subtraction to come in his minutes. In fact, he is looking forward to it. 馬刺隊後衛Roger Mason Jr.，來自維吉尼亞大學，主修的科目為建築學，雖然數學並非他的專門，但他應該懂得基本的算數知識。 NBA比賽規章中規定：一場籃球比賽為48分鐘，一隊只能同時有五名球員上場。隨著傷兵Manu Ginobili和Tony Parker陸續歸隊，Mason的上場時間勢必會隨之減少，Mason必須先對這一點做好心理準備。但事實上，他本人對此事抱持正面的看法。 "It's a great thing," Mason said. "Manu and Tony command so much attention out there. It's going to help the rest of us get a lot of open looks and make us that much stronger." "這是一件好事。" Mason說 "Manu跟 Tony 在球場上會吸引許多防守者的注意，這讓我們其他球員擁有更多的空檔機會，這樣一來我們的團隊發揮會更加出色。" During the injury-plagued first act to their season, the most encouraging storyline for the Spurs has been the rapid emergence of two newcomers: Mason, the sugary sweet shooter signed away from Washington during free agency, and George Hill, point-guard gold the team found with the 26th pick in the June draft. 在開季就飽受傷兵困擾的馬刺隊，目前最讓人振奮的事情當然就是兩位新人的竄出。兩位新人分別是：Mason，今年從自由球員市場簽下來的三分射手，之前效力於華盛頓巫師隊。以及George Hill，今年馬刺隊第一輪26順位選進的一名控球後衛。 Mason is averaging 33.8 minutes per game, second on the team to Tim Duncan and more than double his career average. Afforded a larger role due to the Spurs' backcourt injuries, Mason has made the most of it, scoring 14.8 points per game and fostering a reputation as one of the NBA's deadliest deep threats. Through 16 games, Mason has made 43 3-pointers, hitting them at a 52.4-percent clip, to rank second in the league in both categories. Hill, meanwhile, is averaging 11.1 points to become a steady cog in the Spurs' rotation. Mason平均上場時間為33.8分鐘，僅次於Tim Duncan。這項統計數據甚至超越他兩倍的生涯平均。拜後場傷兵困擾所賜，Mason必須在隊上扮演著重要角色，而他也做的相當完美，平均每場攻下14.8分，並且被認為是聯盟中最致命的三分射手之一。在前16場比賽，Mason已經投進了43個三分球，三分球命中率52.4%，這兩項數據都在聯盟中排第二。(三分球進球數第一是Jamal Crawford和Rashard Lewis，三分命中率第一則是Anthony Morrow) 同時，G.Hill也進入的馬刺的固定輪替陣容裡，他平均每場能貢獻11.1分。 With those two joining the likes of Parker and Ginobili, as well as Michael Finley and Ime Udoka, the Spurs own perhaps the deepest collection of guards during coach Gregg Popovich's tenure. For Popovich, the trick now will be finding enough minutes for all of them. 隨著Parker和Ginobili的加入，在加上陣中原來的Michael Finley和Ime Udoka等人，馬刺隊囤積了大量的後場人才，這可能是波波的執教生涯中後場人手最充足的一次。對波波來說，他必須想出讓這些球員都能有足夠上場時間的方法。 "That's always part of it, figuring out what the rotation is going to be," Popovich said. "The sooner we can do that, the better." That task resumes tonight at the AT&T Center, when the Spurs face a Detroit team in the midst of a backcourt makeover of its own. "是球隊運作的重要一環，決定要使用何種輪替陣容。"波波總教頭說 "我們應該不久後就能作到，而且能作的更好。" 這項工作在今晚的AT&T Center將會持續進行，後場剛復活的馬刺隊將要面對底特律活塞隊。 On Nov. 3, the Pistons sent Chauncey Billups to Denver to acquire Allen Iverson, a dazzling score-first (and second and third) lead guard whose game may or may not mesh with Richard Hamilton's. The Pistons have gone 6-6 since, struggling to recreate the chemistry they enjoyed under Billups. In a way, Detroit players are still feeling themselves out. "It's kind of like training camp right now," Iverson said. (這裡講活塞隊就先不翻了…) The Spurs, in some small way, know the feeling. Back-to-back nights late last week alternately showed the inherent potential of the Spurs' semi-new backcourt, as well as the enormity of the chemistry project that lies ahead. In a 109-98 victory over Memphis on Friday, the first game the Spurs played this season with both Parker and Ginobili in tow, those two combined with Mason and Hill to total 61 points. A night later, in a 103-84 loss at Houston, none of the above played particularly well. Mason (eight points) and Hill (three) each endured his second-lowest scoring night of the season. 上星期的背靠背比賽中，馬刺展現新的後場陣容的強大潛力，以及良好的化學作用，這使他們在比賽中居於領先地位。星期五對陣孟斐斯灰熊隊的比賽，馬刺取得108-98的勝利，這是Parker和Ginobili同時出賽的第一場比賽，這兩人加上Mason和Hill總共得到了61分。但在隔天晚上，馬刺以84-103輸給了休士頓火箭，上述球員並沒有特別出色的表現， Mason (8分)和Hill (3分)分別得到他們本季第二低的得分數據。 "I think we kind of forgot about them a little bit," Ginobili said. "Tony and me have to realize they are both great players, and we have to involve them a bit more." "我想我們有點兒忘掉這兩人。" Ginobili說 "Tony和我都知道他們是很棒的球員，我們必須給他們更多參與比賽的機會。" A critical question going forward is what becomes of Mason. Having started at shooting guard and point guard this season, Mason's versatility has been vital. One way or another, he figures to play an essential role in the Spurs' immediate future. 現在出現了一個關鍵性的問題，那就是Mason在球隊裡的定位。在本季曾經分別以先發控球和先發得分後衛出賽的Mason，Mason的多功能身手為球隊注入一股活力。但不論球隊如何定位他，他知道自己將會在馬刺的未來扮演重要的角色。 "He's been everything we expected, plus," Popovich said. "He's really saved us at times." "他做到了我們期望它所做的任何事，甚至更多" 波波說 "他的到來真的非常及時，他幫助我們度過難關。" Mason's goal for his first week of practices with Ginobili: Just don't get hit in the face with the ball. "He makes these crazy passes that just somehow find you," Mason said. "You better be ready." For Mason and Hill, there will be more crazy passes to come and, with them, more opportunities ahead. That much is guaranteed, even if minutes might not be. Mason開始和Ginobili練球的第一個禮拜，他訂了一個目標：不要被球砸到臉。 "他總是能夠找到你，並做出一些瘋狂的傳球。"Mason說 "你最好隨時有準備球會飛來。" 對Mason和Hill來說，隨著傷兵歸隊，他們可能沒有受到保證的固定上場時間，但可以保證的是，但他們未來會接到更多如此瘋狂的傳球，球隊也會有更多比分領先的機會。 -- 邊看比賽邊翻的:p 可能有翻錯還請多多包含 :) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.130.175.165
