Kings notes: Veteran Johnson steps in nicely for ailing Udrih http://www.sacbee.com/kings/story/799238.html Before the Kings hosted the Warriors on Tuesday, coach Reggie Theus stood inside his team's practice facility and discussed what that night would be like without his starting point guard, who was out with a lower back strain. 在星期四对上勇士之前，Theus 站在训练场上，和教练团们讨论着要用谁来替代因下 背伤势而无法出战的Udrih。 After all, the Kings in the pre-Beno Udrih era were an offensive abomination, averaging 93.4 points while going 1-4 to start the season before the fourth-year player hit the floor. But this, Theus clarified, was not the same, because the point guard cupboard wasn't bare just yet. 在Beno来到沙城前，国王的进攻可说是软弱无力，平均每场93.4分，战绩是一胜四败 。但这一次，我们不会再没有控卫可用了。 Anthony Johnson stepped in to surprise almost everyone but himself, his coach and his teammates with a 13-point, 13-assist outing that helped the Kings move closer to surpassing last season's victory total of 33. The 11-year veteran, who came to the Kings in the Feb. 16 Mike Bibby trade with Atlanta and will be a free agent this summer, might have another chance to lead his new team Friday against San Antonio. Udrih on Wednesday had an MRI taken of his back that was negative, but he still is considered day-to-day. Anthony Johnson 站了出来并且交出了让每一个人都惊艳的成绩单，13分加上13助攻 帮助国王又更接近了去年的胜场数。这位打滚十一年的老将，在二月十六日的Bibby 交易 中重返沙城，并将於今年夏天成为自由球员。虽然Udrih 在星期三MRI 检测後看来并无大 碍，但他仍被放在逐日观察名单中，所以Johnson 将很可能在对上马刺时再度担纲先发。 Theus said he chose to start Johnson, the team's last true point guard, over Francisco García because he prefers that the swingman play on the perimeter, where his long-range shooting is better utilized. Swingman John Salmons also might have been an option, but he was questionable because of a sprained right ankle until Tuesday afternoon. Mostly, though, Theus said he knew Johnson would have no trouble running the team as he has so many before. Theus 说他会让Johnson 这位队中仅存的控卫先发的因素，是因为他认为让Garcia在 侧翼组出击，更能释放Garcia外线的火力。John Salmons一度也是考虑的人选，但Salmons 有伤在身，让Theus 不得不放弃这个想法。此外，Theus 也认为多年的经验，让Johnson 成为最好的救火选择。 "This team doesn't have many 11-year veterans," Theus said. "We have a couple veterans and a bunch of young guys, so having that leadership on the floor – somebody who's been in big games, somebody who knows how to distribute the basketball – was my thinking in starting him. 「这个队上没有太多的老将。我们有一些中生代和一大堆的年轻小伙子，但要如何带 领球队，将会需要一个见过大风大浪的家伙，一个知道怎麽对场上做出贡献的老油条。这 是Johnson 先发的原因。」Theus说。 "Whether he was going to have a great game or not, I knew that he could run this club. … We run our offense through (center) Brad (Miller), but if Brad can't get the ball in the right spot at the right time, it's all a moot point." 「不管他能否打出完美的比赛，我知道起码他能够带领这只球队。我们的进攻是由 Miller所发起，可是如果没有人能把球在正确的时间点送入Miller的手中，进攻就会开始 瘫痪。」Theus说。 Johnson showed none of the rust one would expect, as he had averaged just 7.5 minutes in 15 games since coming to the Kings. Johnson logged 38 minutes against the Warriors, reminding the league at large that he is available come July. 即使来到国王後，平均只有7.5 分钟的上场时间。这一场的表现却依然证明了他还是 能战之将。他上场对抗勇士长达38分钟，告诉了全联盟，这个夏天，老强会是你想要的！ "Being a free agent, I want to stay on the radar," Johnson said. "And anytime I get a chance to play extended minutes, I plan on playing well and (trying) to take that into free agency, and hopefully, that will land me in a good spot." 「在即将成为自由球员的时候，我希望能让所有球队都注意到我。当我得到这种表现 的机会，我会很努力地展现球技，希望在这个夏天会有球队需要我。」Johnson说。 Johnson wowed the Arco Arena crowd with three alley-oop passes to a dunking Kevin Martin, an element rarely seen in the Kings' offense. Johnson 三次和Martin搭配的alley-oop 赢得了满堂彩，因为这种精彩表现近来真的 很少见。 "I'll throw it if I have somebody who's athletic who's going to go get it," Johnson said. "It's risk vs. reward, and if it doesn't work, then coach is going to get on you. But I've been in this league 11 years, and you have to put your neck on the line." 「只要有个跳跳人能将球塞进去，我就会把球高抛给他。有的时候这种行为很冒险， 有时无法奏效，却也是最能振奋人心的作法。当然失败的话，你就会被教练谯得满头包。 但11年的经验让我对这种精彩好球相当在行，所以OK啦！」 Injury report – Udrih is one of four players who are questionable for Friday's game. 伤兵报告-Udrih仅是四位疑似伤兵中的一员。 Miller is experiencing bursitis in his right elbow, although Theus said he expects him to play. Rookie center Spencer Hawes continues to deal with a left foot sprain and had an MRI, which was negative, but is day-to-day. Forward Kenny Thomas, who could have played for the first time since Jan. 2, has been hindered by right knee soreness. Miller的右手肘发炎，可是Theus 说希望Miller依然留在场上。小伙子Hawes 在左脚 扭伤後，已经做了MRI 检测，虽然看来正常，但也是被放在逐日观察名单中。KT可能因为 大批的伤兵而再次获得上场时间。 Theus explains timeout – Theus won't be apologizing anytime soon for a late timeout that incensed Stephen Jackson on Tuesday. Theus 对暂停的解释-Theus将不会对因垃圾时间的暂停而不爽的Jackson 道歉。 Jackson vented to reporters after Theus called the 20-second timeout with 33 seconds left and the Kings up 122-103, saying it was disrespectful and Theus should apologize. Theus said he merely was attempting to take out Martin and Ron Artest for the final moments. Jackson 对於Theus 在垃圾时间喊的暂停很不爽，他认为这是一种很机掰的行为，且 Theus 应该道歉，但Theus 说他只是为了换Martin和Artest下场。 "I had a guy at the scorer's table (waiting to go in)," Theus said. "I was trying to get the guys out of the game. I thought it was absolutely appropriate to call a 20-second timeout to get those guys out of the game. But (Jackson) thought I was coaching. He thought I was making moves. I really don't think he knew … the intention. 「我已经要人去计分台那边等着上场，所以叫了个短暂停来把球员换下。Jackson 可 能认为我是要策划最後一波进攻，其实我跟本没有这个想法。」 "I'd hate in the last couple of possessions for something to happen to one of our guys. When it's all said and done, it was the right thing to do at the moment." 「我可不希望我的先发球员在这种垃圾时间受伤。这只是我应该做的事而已。」Theus 说。 -- 有错请指正<(__ __)> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!老强魂!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --
