http://www.sacbee.com/kings/story/2341886.html There might have been a time when the thought of Donté Greene starting for the Kings meant something would first have to go terribly wrong. 以前如果说到绿绿先发，那第一个反应就是「稳死的」 Greene was buried on the depth chart. The coaching staff wasn't high on Greene's decision making on the court. Playing time was scarce. 绿绿以前被冷冻起来，上场时间少的可怜 But when an injury forced Andres Nocioni to the bench for last week's game against Chicago, Kings coach Paul Westphal didn't call on Omri Casspi, the logical first choice. 但是一切的情况都在酒驾司机受伤後有所改变，西佛没有叫合理的第一选择--卡斯比。 Westphal instead turned to Greene, and the second-year forward scored a career-high 24 points. 西佛的爱转向绿绿，他也回报了，得了24分。 Greene's versatility has made him a valuable fill-in for Westphal, and that trend might continue tonight when the Kings finish their three-game trip against the Memphis Grizzlies at FedExForum. 绿绿的多功能填补了西佛的空缺，而且也许会持续下去。 Greene has started two of the last three games as an injury replacement for Nocioni and Tyreke Evans. Evans missed Saturday's game in Houston because of a sprained right middle finger and a sore right ankle. 绿绿已经先发两场。 If Evans can't play tonight, Greene will be ready to start. 如果Evans今晚不能打，绿绿还会先发。 Westphal had a reason for starting Greene rather than Casspi last week. It was a bit of psychology that ultimately could improve the entire team. 西佛已经找好理由为什麽是绿绿而不是卡斯比。 "I think when you have a starter go out, it makes sense to jump somebody over and keep as many players in their comfort zone as possible," Westphal said. "And also you give a shot of confidence to the player that gets the start. So that was my thinking, and everybody's responding. And Donté's played real well." 「我想如果有个先发挂了，让某个人跳出来，然後尽可能地保持许多球员待在他们舒服的 区域是很合理的。这就是我的想法，而且绿绿打得真的很棒」 Greene averaged 18.5 points in his two starts. Saturday, he made all five of his shots and had 13 points. Greene also continues to buy into playing a more disciplined game on offense and focusing on defense to earn Westphal's trust. 绿绿两次先发平均得了18.5分。礼拜六他投5中5得了13分。绿绿也持续在攻守上打得越来 越有纪律去夺得西佛的信任。 "I just attribute (the improved play) to getting in early, getting up shots, working, not knowing when my number's going to get called," Greene said. 「我只是早一点进来、投篮和工作，并不知道什麽时候叫到我」绿绿说。 Greene continues to be asked to use his 6-foot-11 frame in ways that are new to him. He's being asked to use his athleticism to defend shorter players on the perimeter, which he has done. Greene often mentions his defense as his way to get on the court. 绿绿持续被要求多方利用他6'11的身材，对他而言很新鲜。他一直被要求用他的运动能力 去防守在外围的较矮小的球员，他做得很好。 And with more playing time, Greene occasionally has shown he can be a factor playing more than one position. 随着上场时间的增加，绿绿偶尔展现了他会是个关键因子，而不只是上场充人数的。 "I thought Donté was very, very good," Westphal said after Saturday's loss. "He was just picking his spots and was versatile. We had him playing some (shooting) guard, some (power forward) and some (small forward), and he was real solid out there. Very professional." 「我认为绿绿真的棒透了，他扛起了他的位子而且非常多功能。我们让他有时候打SG、PF 和SF，而且有时候他表现真的很好，非常专业」 Greene won't know until game time tonight if he'll start. 绿绿直到比赛时间才知道他是否先发。 Evans injured his hand Friday against Dallas. The rookie guard is averaging 18.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists. Evans said he'd only "tweaked" his ankle and that his hand was merely sore. Tonight would be Evans' first NBA game in Memphis, where he starred for one season at the University of Memphis. Evans说他只是扭了他的脚踝，他的手只是有点酸。 Westphal, however, won't allow Evans' desire to play get in the way of the picture. 西佛不会让Evans上场的。 "If the doctor suggests he not play, he's not playing," Westphal said. "If the doctor says it's up to the player and the way he feels, then it's up to the player. I never try to force my will on that kind of thing. There's always another day if a guy can't play." 「如果医生建议他不要打，他就不会上场。如果医生是说取决於球员自己的感觉，那就球 员自己决定。我从未试着去强迫我的意志在那样子的事，如果球员不能打就算了，还有别 天嘛」 Greene's motivation isn't just about this season. The Kings picked up the option for the third year of his contract next season, but Greene realizes nothing is guaranteed beyond that. 国王执行绿绿下一季的选择权，但绿绿了解那并不能保障什麽。 "You've just got to be ready in this league," Greene said. "I'm trying to get to my second contract, get some more minutes and show that I deserve to be out there." 「你在这联盟中就必须准备好，我正试着去得到我的第二个合约，得到更多时间去展现我 值得在那里」绿绿说 ===================================================== 绿绿加油，有绿绿跳出来，2、3、4号就多了一个可用之兵，其他人皮绷紧一点啊。 --
