When Gilbert Arenas caught a pass from Antonio Daniels before making his last
big shot in Wednesday's win over the Indiana Pacers, his eyes widened and his
face almost broke into a smile.
在上一場對戰溜馬接到 Daniels 傳球,投進最後一記三分彈之前
Arenas 睜大了眼,幾乎就快要笑了出來
A split second after leather touched Arenas's palm, the ball was redirected
through the basket, giving the Wizards an 11-point fourth-quarter lead and
all but crushing any hopes the Pacers had of snapping a 10-game losing streak.
之後球應聲入網(譯按:請看高光 Arenas 部分之最後一球)
讓巫師把第四節的領先差距拉大到11分,撲滅溜馬終止10連敗希望的火花
Arenas, who finished with 35 points on 10-of-22 shooting, with 28 of those
points coming in the second half, never doubted that he'd make the shot and
celebrated by holding his hands flat out in front of him, a signal that he
was firing up his "hibachi" grill.
最後總結 Arenas 以22投10中的命中率得到35分,其中28分是在下半場得到的
別懷疑 Arenas 的得分能力,以及他進球後對自己 hibachi 般手感的慶祝方式
The 35 points were the most Arenas scored since he put up 36 on 11-of-20
shooting in a loss at Chicago on Feb. 23, but the key stat was his efficiency
from three-point range, where he torched the Pacers by making 5 of 8
attempts. In the past five games, Arenas has made 18 of 35 three-point
attempts (51.4 percent).
35分是 Arenas 自從2月23日作客芝加哥得到36分之後的單場新高
關鍵在於他在三分線外的威力回來了,對上溜馬他的三分投8中5
而在最近的5場比賽裡,他有著35投18中高達5成14的三分球命中率
"I started off horrible," said Arenas, who finished the first half with seven
points on 3-of-9 shooting. "I was missing little ones and I just felt cold,
like I wasn't ready to shoot yet. Then, in the third quarter I got to the
free throw line, I found my stroke and then the hibachi came out."
「剛開始我打得很糟糕」上半場9投3中只得到7分的 Arenas 說到
「我手感很冷一直放槍,就像我還沒準備好要比賽一般。而到了第三節
我開始站上罰球線得了一些分數並且找回手感。」
The Wizards (35-28) snapped a three-game losing streak but will need more of
the same from Arenas if they want to hold off the surging Miami Heat,
especially if forward Caron Butler continues to be hampered by stiffness in
his left knee.
巫師結束了自己的三連敗,而且需要 Arenas 常常有這樣出色的表現
以擺脫熱火在後頭的強力挑戰,特別是 Butler 持續受左膝緊繃所苦之時
Butler, who has been bothered by back spasms and knee pain since the all-star
break concluded on Feb. 19, started Wednesday night but took a seat early in
the second quarter and did not return after the knee tightened up.
Butler 在週四的比賽裡先發出賽,但之後在第二節開始沒多久就坐回板凳
之後也沒有再回到場上作戰,事實上
在明星週末過後,Butler就受背傷及膝傷所苦
His status for tomorrow's game against the New Orleans Hornets at Verizon
Center has yet to be determined, but Butler suggested following Wednesday's
game that he would consider sitting "a few games" if that would allow the
knee to improve. Butler had an MRI exam yesterday, and the results were
negative.
Butler 能否在週日對上黃蜂的比賽中上場還是未知數
但在週四的比賽結束之後 Butler 考慮休息個幾場以讓膝蓋的狀況好轉
他也在昨天作了 MRI 的測試 結果是陰性的
The Wizards have lost their past eight games without Butler, dating from last
season, and went 4-8 when another member of the league's highest-scoring
trio, forward Antawn Jamison, missed 12 games with a left knee injury in late
January and February.
包括上個球季在內,當少了 Butler,巫師戰績是0勝8敗
而在一月底到二月期間,另一隻三劍客因左膝傷勢缺陣時
巫師也只打出4勝8敗的成績
Playing without a key player would be nothing new for the Wizards, but
Butler's injury comes at a particularly bad time.
少了對上關鍵球員應付比賽對巫師而言早就不是什麼新鮮事了
但 Butler 的受傷實在來的不是時候
(譯按:受傷還有時機好壞的就是 ..╮(﹋﹏﹌)╭..)
With forward Darius Songaila working himself into shape after missing the
first 45 games with a back injury and Jamison hitting his stride of late --
he's scored 26 and 27 points in the past two games -- Coach Eddie Jordan
thought he finally had all of his players for the first time since training
camp opened in October.
好消息是,爽蓋拉漸漸恢復身手,而 Jamison 手感火燙,最近兩場分別有27和28分進帳
總教練 Jordan 自從年十月訓練營開始之後,終於看到全部的可用之兵歸隊
Songaila played one of his strongest games Wednesday night, making all five
of his shots and scoring 12 points in 16 minutes. Songaila, who missed all of
training camp and the preseason before undergoing back surgery on Nov. 2, is
proving to be what President of Basketball Operations Ernie Grunfeld thought
he was when the team signed the Lithuanian to a five-year, $23 million
contract last summer.
爽蓋拉上一場打出本季個人的代表作,在16分鐘裡以百分百的命中率得到12分
他因為去年11月2號動了背部手術,而缺席了全部的季前訓練營和熱身賽
直到最近才歸隊,而此時也是證明 GM Grunfeld 去年用中產簽下他的眼光的時候了
The 6-foot-8, 240-pound Songaila has shown an ability to post up on smaller
power forwards and score with an assortment of post moves. And against bigger
opponents, he can step out to the 17- to 20-foot range, run the pick-and-roll
and make a jump shot.
這位6尺8吋、240磅的大前鋒,開始展現對上小號大前鋒時各種的低位單打技巧
而當對手比較高大時,爽蓋拉能拉出來投17到20尺的中距離跳投
或是利用跟隊友的單擋之後拔起來跳投
While Songaila provides a post presence and scoring punch off the bench,
Jordan likely will start Jarvis Hayes if Butler can't go tomorrow night, and
the coach likely would activate second-year forward Andray Blatche, who was
inactive Wednesday.
爽蓋拉能為球隊提供低位單打的能力和板凳得分
這也讓 Jordan 在 Butler 可能缺陣時,啟用 Hayes 作為先發小前鋒
同時準備再次啟用上一場被放入閒置名單的高中生 Andray Blatche
"We don't know about Caron but we do have everyone healthy, pretty much,"
Jordan said. "We have flexibility. We have size. We have defenders and we
have guys who can score, so we're pretty balanced. We have veteran depth and
that's what we're going to rely on. Our theme is: Our big dogs have to hunt
now over these last 19 games."
「除了 Butler 之外,其他人的健康狀況都比之前好多了」
Jordan 說到:「我們的陣容很有彈性,身材、鎖、得分能力兼具
這是個很平均的陣容,球隊深度很夠,而這也是我們在往後的19場比賽所要依靠的。」
