http://www.sackings.com/Article.cfm?article=3203 by Sam Amick Sacramento Bee Maurice Taylor didn't know how close to the boiling point he was, but the fact that he was wondering is telling. Maurice Taylor并不知道他是不是快爆炸了！但他思索的事让他快疯了。 For five consecutive games, Taylor, who was signed before training camp to back up center Brad Miller, didn't play. On its own, Taylor said, watching courtside wasn't the hoped-for role, but even more so when the player you supposedly would play behind watched nearby. 连续五场比赛，Taylor这位在训练营中被签下来当中锋Brad Miller替补的球员，都没有出 赛。Taylor认为在场边看球并不会对球队有所帮助，而当你想要替补的球员也陪你一同看 球时更是无力。 "I thought I would be playing backup minutes behind Brad," Taylor said Monday. "That was my idea when I came in. That's what was said. But Brad's out, so I really don't know. The only thing I can do is work and continue to have good practices." 「我以为我会补上Brad不在场上的时间。」Taylor说：「这是我在进入球队时的想法，而 大家也这麽认为。但现在Brad不在场上，我却没有出赛。我真的不知道我何时能上场，我 唯一能做的就是在练习中继续努力。」 He did both, of course. And Wednesday night at Arco Arena, Taylor got the call from coach Eric Musselman. He entered play against Utah early in the second quarter, then spent the next six minutes helping the Kings maintain a double-digit lead. 而他现在两样都做到了。星期三晚上在Arco Arena，Taylor被教练Eric Musselman叫上场 。他在第二节上场六分钟，和其他人一起对上爵士队，而且帮助国王维持两位数的领先。 Taylor, for the record, admits his transgressions. He came into camp too heavy but said he has since lost 15 or 20 pounds. And there was the team-mandated conditioning test, which Taylor finally passed a little less than two weeks ago. Taylor承认他一度超重。在训练营时他过重，但他说现在他已减轻了15~20磅。而在两个星 期前队上明定的标准测试中，Taylor总算以比标准轻一点点的体重过关。 "I feel like I'm in better shape than I was last year and the year before," Taylor said. "I'm still lifting probably in the top three (on the team). ... I feel strong. I think it's evident in the practices I'm having that I'm moving." 「我觉得我现在的体形比去年跟前年都还要好。」Taylor说：「我的挺举大概是队上的前 三名。我感觉到我的强壮，我想这是练习中我相当努力的证明。」 Although the nine-year veteran was known in his earlier days for his scoring, Taylor said he can help with the team's new defensive approach. 虽然大家都说这名九年老将的长处是得分，但Taylor说他也可以帮助队上的防守。 "I think I'm more of a position defender than a shot blocker," Taylor said. "But if you talk to any coaches who had me, they'd say I'm a good defender. Most of the teams that I played for the last three years, I led the team in charges because I'm a pretty good help-side defender." 「我认为我是比较偏向站位防守的打法（相对於投篮封阻）。」Taylor说：「如果你向每 个教过我的教练询问，他们都会说我是个好防守者。在我这三年打过的球队里，我总是制 造队上最多的进攻犯规，因为我是一个很好的协防者。」 Salmons returns -- He didn't look quite as smooth as his normal self, but Kings swingman John Salmons played for the first time since missing three games with a right thigh contusion. Salmons回来了，虽然看来还没完全恢复，但这位国王的锋卫摇摆人在因右大腿挫伤而缺席 三场後，首度出赛。 Without Salmons, the Kings' defense faltered, giving up an average of 112 points to Memphis, Golden State and San Antonio. 在没有Salmons的时候，国王的防守很失败，他们对上灰熊、勇士、马刺的这三场比赛平均 失去112分。 "He (defends) the (point guard, shooting guard, small forward) positions, and we've had him defend some (power forwards)," Musselman said. "We're glad he's back with us." 「他能守控卫、分卫、小前锋，甚至能让他守到大前锋位。」Musselman说：「我们很高兴 他能回来。」 On the mike -- When Jazz players Ronnie Brewer and Paul Millsap were introduced before tipoff, Kings public address announcer Scott Moak avoided the sort of comical mixup that took place Monday night in Utah. 杂谈：当爵士的Ronnie Brewer和Paul Millsap被介绍入场时，国王的播音员Scott Moak并 没有发生星期一晚上在犹他发生的闹剧。 While announcing a lineup change involving those two players, Jazz announcer Dan Roberts had his names crossed when he welcomed country singer "Ronnie Milsap" into play. 在提这两位先发时，爵士的播音员Dan Roberts介绍了知名的乡村歌手Ronnie Milsap上场 先发，他也因此丢了工作。 -- 这篇其实很久了，原本不打算放上来，因为第一句就不会翻了Orz 感激roysos<(__ __)> --
