By Ailene Voisin Published: Monday, Feb. 1, 2010 - 12:00 am | Page 1C Last Modified: Monday, Feb. 1, 2010 - 1:09 pm Jason Thompson is one of those people who laugh at the people who consume pots of coffee for energy. JT是那种会嘲笑那些需要靠咖啡来补充能量的人 He can't sit still long enough to experiment withrelaxation techniques. He is all atwitter about social networking. His life is a chronic race between mind and body, and when his size-20 sneakers slap across the finish line ahead of his brain - when he gets ahead of himself - that usually means trouble. 他连试验放松技巧的时间都坐不住 他的生活就是心灵和身体间的长期抗战， 每当他的球鞋超过了他的思考，那表示他的麻烦大了 He commits too many fouls. He drops too many passes. He bobbles too many rebounds. He muscles inside against double-teams, launches jumpers out of his range, becomes so discombobulated that he forgets about defending his man. And then he gets benched, furthering his frustration, and depleting the Kings already-thin frontcourt. 他犯太多规了，他传丢太多球，他miss掉太多板子 他用生命在禁区 面对包夹，在超出范围的地方跳投 使得自己的节奏被打乱，甚至忘了防守自己该守的人 然後他就被放到板凳上，持续他的低迷，因此也摧毁了国王本来就已经脆弱的前场阵容 "Once I get back to being myself, things will be better," the second-year forward predicted after the club's slide continued with Saturday's loss to the Charlotte Bobcats. "I wouldn't say I hit the wall, but I guess, looking at my numbers, you could say that I did." "一旦我做回我自己，事情会变得更好的"小汤在输给山猫後这样预测 " 我会说我撞上墙了，但我猜看看我的数据，你也会说我的确是撞得很严重" Actually, you could say the 6-foot-11, 250-pound Thompson smacked into the side of a brick building. After averaging 16.6 points, 8.9 rebounds and shooting 52 percent throughout December, he contributed 8.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and shot 35 percent in January before erupting for 16 rebounds (and 12 points) against the Bobcats. He also continues to lead the league in personal fouls - a distinction he earned last year, and one that continues to irritate his coaches and bosses. 实际上，可以这麽说6-11，250磅的JT正好撞在一堵兴建中的砖墙上 在平均16.6分，8.9个板而且命中率52%的12月过後， 一月时他贡献8.9分，6.8板，35%的命中率 (在对山猫抓下16板，12分的比赛 之前) 和去年差不多，他仍然在犯规次数上遥遥领先所有人， 这个问题也持续地困扰着教练和老板 In general, these young Kings are an emotional bunch, and about as transparent as toddlers. But Thompson, 23, who is a mature, delightful figure off the floor, is the ringleader of the on-court outbursts, and it's no coincidence that the slump coincides with his recent pattern of self-destruction. 一般来说，这些年轻的国王都是性情中人，就像小孩一般单纯 但是23岁的JT，是个成熟且令人惊喜的成就，他是活力爆发的泉源， 而且这波惨败和他的自爆并不是个巧合 Coach Paul Westphal reminds him all the time. It's not the refs. It's not a conspiracy. It's him. Stop grabbing. Stop reaching. Stop with the theatrics. 西佛不断地提醒他，并不是裁判，也不是甚麽巧合，是你的问题… 停止那些小动作吧… "Jason's at the point now where he's got to decide that he's going to stop paralyzing himself," Westphal said. Thompson's protracted struggles have added an unwanted wrinkle to the rebuilding process. The issue is raised: Is he a legitimate starter or better suited for a backup role? And if he's not a starter on a team that desperately needs another big man, is he vulnerable as the Feb. 18 trade deadline approaches? Geoff Petrie has no plans to take a jackhammer to the roster, of course, because the immediate goal is to upgrade the talent level and then maneuver for the pieces that form a team. But who knows? The Kings basketball president strikes when least expected. "JT长期的低迷，为国王重建的路程增加了不愿见的难题。这个问题已经被凸显了： 他是不是一个合格的先发?或者比较适合替补的角色呢? 那麽如果他不是队上的先发， 对迫切需要其他大个子的国王来说，在交易截止日来到之前 ，他是可以动的吗? Petrie并没有打算对目前的阵容挥动大肆改造，当然由於目前的目标， 是在强化队上的天份，同时逐步调整重建球队所需要的每块拚图，但是谁知道呢? 国王的总管总是令人难以捉模 The attempt to assess whether rookie Tyreke Evans can grow into an effective floor leader, or in the alternative, whether he and his teammates would benefit from the presence of a facilitating point guard, remains a factor here as well. Indeed. The death-by-dribbling offensive overdose has few fans in the locker room. 使Evans能够成长为一名有效率的领导者的打算， 或着他和他的队友们需要一名有协助能力的PG，这个问题仍旧是最重要的， 过多运球式的进攻是没有甚麽球迷的 "We haven't been getting enough stops and running," Thompson said. "Once we get the rebound and we run … I mean, Kevin (Martin) had a bunch in transition (Saturday), we get fast-break points, we get into a rhythm, and things are easier. Everybody gets energized. Early on, I was getting some easy ones, and it was opening things up for me. I was shooting a couple jumpers, then getting some blocked shots. And I got to learn how to protect the paint. If I'm going to be here for a while, I've got to be a presence down there." "我们已经有够多的跑动了" JT说着 "一拿到篮板， 我们就开始冲…我的意思是，K$在传导中拿到大量的球 (山猫那场)， 我们在快攻中得分，我们回到了熟悉的节奏，所有事情都容易多了，大家都重新得到能量 一开场，我得到一些easy shot，也因此打出了手感，我进了几球跳投，也抢下了几球。 而且我得学习保护禁区。 如果我想要待在场上久一点，我得有更多的存在感才行" That's on him. Controlling his demeanor, cooling it with the refs, re-establishing himself as a starter, that's on him, too. But it's not all on him. Circumstances. Style of play. Collective youth. All are factors. So is Westphal's inability of late to cobble together a cohesive unit, his persistent lineup tinkering notwithstanding. 这就是他该做的，控制他的情绪，和裁判和平相处，重新证明他的先发角色， 这也不能全靠他一个人 球队气氛、球队球风、让年轻人团结在一起这些就不是他的问题了，西佛也不能松懈， 要将这些都顾好，还有他的先发组合，目前也还不太管用 "We need to get our mojo back," the coach noted the other night. No kidding. The Kings are on the cusp of becoming boring, and in the NBA, there is no worse coupling than losing and boring. 不能开玩笑!国王的比赛正在变得无聊…，在NBA里没有比输球和打球无聊更糟糕的事了… --
