http://0rz.tw/bfGQz Three consecutive losses and a 14-19 record aside, the Kings know they are in a much better place than they were this time last season. 虽然三连败，而且目前战绩14-19，但国王们知道他们比上个球季的这个时候好太多了。 Credit has been given to many and praise heaped upon management, coaching and the addition of three rookies who have put new life into the franchise. 赞美和认同一直来，大部分都是关於管理阶层、教练团和三名菜鸟。 Meanwhile, Jason Thompson toils with little acclaim. And that's fine with him. 此时，小汤还是默默在做他的。 The second-year forward finds he is an expected source of stability this season. He's the only King to have started all 33 games. His scoring and rebounding are up from last season. Kings coach Paul Westphal continues to expand Thompson's role as a facilitator in the offense. 小汤本季被期待为稳定的来源。他是国王唯一个33场先发的人，他的得分和篮板都比上个 赛季还要高，西佛也持续在加重小汤在进攻中的角色。 But as the national media begins to take notice of the Kings again, much of the attention is on Westphal's leadership – or the play of rookies Tyreke Evans and Omri Casspi. 但媒体虽然又重新注意到了国王，但大部分都是放在西佛的领导或者reke和omri Even Westphal acknowledged Thompson is "getting a little left out of the discussion" while averaging 14.8 points. Thompson's 9.2 rebounds per game are 17th in the NBA. He averages 3.5 offensive rebounds, sixth in the league. 西佛也承认小汤被忽略了。他的平均9.2篮板在NBA排第17，平均3.5个进攻篮板为第6。 "We count on him, but you can take him for granted," Westphal said. "It's a compliment that you take him for granted, but it's still nice for a guy like that to get some recognition." 「我们很依赖他，但你会将他的作为视为理所当然，这是个赞美，但人还是喜欢受到认同」 西佛说。 Thompson said he doesn't mind that his teammates receive more attention. He points out he's been overlooked most of his basketball career. 小汤说他并不介意队友比较受到注意，他指出在他绝大部分的篮球生涯都是被忽略的。 If it wasn't being dismissed as a college prospect or having his NBA readiness questioned because he played at Rider and not a powerhouse school, Thompson has become accustomed to being underrated. 因为他的学校并不出名，所以小汤变得习惯被低估。 In fact, it was a slight last season that left him out as a participant in All-Star Weekend that motivated Thompson to work on his game. 事实上，去年他没有入选新秀挑战赛，让他更努力。 "It may not be important to a lot of people, but I think I got snubbed in the Rookie-Sophomore game last year," Thompson said. "I think it would be good to be there this year and represent the Kings. I'm sure Omri and Tyreke are going to be in it, so it would be nice to play against those guys." 「也许对很多人而言那并不重要，但我认为我去年该进去的，我想今年如果能代表国王参 加会是很棒的事。我很确定OMRI和reke一定能参加，所以如果能和他们打会很棒」 Thompson was excited to see his name on the All-Star ballot and hopes to play well enough to stay on the ballot for years to come. 小汤对於看到他的名字在全星星票选上感到很兴奋，而且很希望能够打得很好，有一天会 入选。 Thompson isn't the only sophomore King hoping to make it to the Rookie-Sophomore game. Swingman Donté Greene worked out with Thompson a lot in the offseason. 小汤不是唯一位希望入选的人，绿绿在季外和小汤一起打拚。 Greene has enjoyed watching Thompson as much as any of his teammates. "Hopefully, me and J.T. can make it," Greene said. "If not me, definitely J.T. He deserves it." 「很希望，我和小汤能够入选，如果不是我，绝对就是小汤，他够格」绿绿说 Thompson's play hasn't gone unnoticed by the rest of the league. And as important as the rookies have been, with the resurgence of Beno Udrih, Thompson is usually an accurate barometer of how the Kings are doing. 小汤的表现其实并没有被联盟的其他人忽视。从他在菜鸟球季就很重要，伴随着Beno的回 魂，小汤牵动着国王的表现。 Sacramento is 9-3 in games in which Thompson records a double double. Thompson averages 17.2 points and 9.5 rebounds in Kings victories. He averages 13.1 points and 8.9 rebounds in losses. 当小汤搭波搭波时国王9胜3负，国王赢时小汤平均17.2分和9.5篮板。输的时候平均13.1分 和8.9篮板。 "You know he can play because he had some games and some moments last year where he kind of wowed you," Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said. "It's a year later and he's that much more smarter, knowledgeable about situations, and it's showing in his play." 「你知道他能打，因为他去年有些不错的表现，今年又更好了，更聪明，又更了解状况， 在他的比赛中都看得出来」骑士教练Mike Brown说。 For his part, Thompson admits he's still learning to navigate his way with officials. He still leads the league with 3.9 fouls a game. "It's not like I've been in this league a while," he said. "As a young team, we're going to have to go through some growing pains. As a team, not just myself." 小汤承认他还在学习怎麽习惯裁判，他依旧是联盟犯规王。「这不像是我已经待在联盟好 一阵子了，身为一只年轻球队，我们必须经历一些必经的痛苦，整个球队都是，不只是我 自己」 ==================================================== 的确，小汤看起来虽然不起眼，但他就是能够稳稳的提供数据，朝顶级蓝领前进吧 -- --
