After drafting Evans in 2009 and Cousins in 2010, the Kings are banking on the two developing into cornerstones for the franchise. But as the Kings stumbled to a 4-12 start, both players struggled at various points. Evans was playing better before he was sidelined for two games because of a bruised left knee, while Cousins has been in a shooting slump most of the season. 國王一開始戰績很糟，兩位各自在不同的部分有所掙扎。reke越打越好了，但因傷缺陣兩場，而表弟球季到目前為止都還是很低潮。 In his first game back from the injury, Evans scored 23 points, 10 in the fourth quarter. Cousins had a team-high 25 points and 13 rebounds. 在reke回歸的第一場比賽，得了23分，有十分在第四節。表弟得了全隊最高的25分以及 13籃板。 "We're the best two players on this team along with Marcus (Thornton)," Cousins said. "When we're having good games, we're a tough team to beat." 「我們兩個是隊上最棒的，再加上MT，只要我們表現很不錯，就是一支很難擊倒的球隊」表弟說 Cousins entered the game shooting 41.7 percent. That's low for any player, especially for a center who figures to have more attempts closer to the basket. 他在比賽前命中率只有41.7%。對任何人來說都太低了，更何況他還是中鋒。 But the Raptors' interior defense eased Cousins' shooting woes for a night. 但暴龍內線被他打的體無完膚。 Between rookie Jonas Valanciunas and his backup, Amir Johnson, Toronto didn't have the strength to keep Cousins from doing what he wanted in the paint. Cousins made 11 of 18 shots (61.1 percent). Jonas和Amir都沒有辦法阻止表弟在禁區肆虐，他投18中11(61.1%) "He's a beast," Toronto coach Dwane Casey said. "We tried everybody on him. Aaron Gray had the flu. We were going to look at him, but Amir was the best guy behind Valanciunas with him." 「他是頭猛獸，我們試著用每個人去守他。Aaron Gray得了流感，但Amir是最佳人選」暴龍教頭說。 Evans said he was thinking too much to start the game. He missed eight of his 12 shots before making three of his final four. Two of those makes were back-to-back three-pointers to give the Kings a 101-95 lead with 1:43 to play. reke說他一開始想太多了，前12投失8，但最後四投中三，其中兩投連續三分讓國王最後取得領先。 Entering the game, Evans was shooting 27.3 percent on three-pointers, a shot opponents dare him to take. The Raptors were no different, and Evans hit both threes in front of the Toronto bench. 比賽前reke的三分命中率才27.3%，對手根本不想守，暴龍也一樣，但是reke在暴龍板凳前面讓他們見證了奇蹟。 Would Evans have taken those shots a year ago? 如果是一年前reke會投嗎？ "Probably not," he admitted. "I probably would have pump-faked. That just comes from working out after practice every day, just shooting it with confidence." 「可能不會，我可能會做假動作而已。動力是來自於每天練習後的投籃練習，就有自信地投出去」reke承認。 Seeing the confidence Evans showed made his teammates happy. 目睹reke所展現出來的霸氣使得隊友黑皮。 "I just told him after the game that's the first time since I've been here I've seen him hit two threes in a row," Cousins said. "I'm happy for him. He's been working his tail off, especially with his outside shooting." 「賽後我就跟他說這是我到這裡來後第一次看到他連續投進兩顆三分，我很為他高興，他一直很努力在訓練，特別是他的外圍投射」表弟說。 The Kings (5-12) needed all the shooting they could muster to deal with Toronto point guard Kyle Lowry. He finished with a season-high 34 points and 11 assists. In the second half, Lowry had 29 points and six assists. With all five starters scoring in double figures, the Kings welcomed the teamwork they displayed after losing by 35 points to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday. 當先發五人都得分雙位數，國王樂於見到他們所展現的團隊合作。 "A lot of guys played really good defense," Kings coach Keith Smart said. "It was a big positive for our team. In the NBA, it's hard to get wins, even if you're a good team." 「很多人防守得很棒，對我們球隊而言是一大利多，在NBA是很難取勝的，就算是支好球隊」說 If the Kings hope to become a good team, they'll need more of what they got from Evans and Cousins on Wednesday. 如果國王想要變成一支好球隊，那他們需要更多reke和表弟的好表現 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.45.229.11
