Martin's 'incredible journey' with Kings comes to a close 马丁和国王的不思议之旅画下句点 http://www.sacbee.com/kings/story/2548630.html By Sam Amick It didn't take Kevin Martin long to feel comfortable in Sacramento. 马丁很快就适应在沙加缅度的生活。 The Zanesville, Ohio, native arrived in 2004 and was calling the capital city his adopted hometown not long after. His small-town sensibilities meshed with the local landscape, and his up-tempo, high-scoring talents fit with his new team's offensive-minded ways. Ohio州Zanesville的小子2004年来到加州首府不久後便认定这里是他的第二故乡，他热爱 这座城市，他的快节奏及高得分的天份也和这只进攻至上的球队非常契合。 He was celebrated so elaborately in the summer of 2007, when he signed a five-year $55 million deal and was pitched as the next best King during a downtown rally, it looked as if he would never leave. 2007年暑假对马丁而言非常开心，他和球队签下五年五千五百万美元的合约，此时他已经 被视为球队的应许之子，这时候没有人想的到他会离开。 But by the time Martin was booking a red-eye flight from Sacramento to Houston on Thursday – having been traded in a three-team, nine-player deal with the Rockets and New York – he couldn't wait to go. 但现在马丁已经在沙加缅度登上飞往休士顿的班机，这场交易牵涉三队﹝火箭与尼克﹞， 共九名球员被含括在内，而马丁也等不及要走了。 "I had an incredible journey," Martin said by phone Thursday as the trade was being formalized. "You go from the 17th man (on the roster) your first year to the first man. I just enjoyed my time here. 交易成立後，马丁在星期二透过电话表示： 「我在这里度过美好的旅程，我从球员名单上的第十七人逐渐变成第一人，我很享受在这 里的生活。」 "You're always going to have your highs and low, but it's time to move on, and I'm ecstatic about that part." 「人生总有起伏，现在是时候改变了，我很高兴这样﹝改变发生了﹞。」 In making the trade that brought the Kings a much-needed power forward in Carl Landry, basketball President Geoff Petrie unintentionally did Martin a favor. While Martin hadn't reached the point of demanding a trade, the sixth-year player from Western Carolina University had been considering leaving for months. 这场交易带来了球队最需要的大前锋Carl Landry，球队总管Geoff Petrie帮了马丁一个小 忙。尽管马丁还没有到（向球队）要求把自己交易掉的地步，这位来自西卡罗莱纳大学的 六年级球员也认为自己在球队的来日无多。 "It (was) time because the 20-point (scoring) seasons every year didn't really mean as much to me as they did the first time, the second time, and it was just time for opportunity to showcase it somewhere else," he said. "With a guy like me, I'm going to be playing 35 or 40 minutes a night, and that takes a hit on the younger guys who they're so high on." 「我想是时候到了，每季得20分以上对我而言不代表甚麽，然而人们总是一再地提及，现 在终於有机会让我到其他地方展示我的能力。」 「像我这样的一个人，我需要每天晚上都有 35 到 40 分钟的上场时间，但这样会影响到 那些他们（教练和管理阶层）评价很高的年轻球员们（的表现机会）」 Martin's stance was the byproduct of the changing sentiment around him that began last season. He was no longer the "Golden Boy" for whom a number of trades were made, in part, to help him flourish. Mike Bibby and Ron Artest, for example, were sent to Atlanta and Houston, respectively. 马丁目前的地位来自於上季球队的转变，球队为了确立马丁的地位，在此前做了数笔交易 ﹝Bibby被送到亚特兰大，阿泰被送到休士顿﹞帮助马丁开花结果。 When Martin sprained his ankle early last season and missed 31 games, his toughness was questioned within the organization, leading to a change in the relationship. 上一季马丁因为脚踝受伤缺席了31场比赛，球团内部对他的健康产生疑虑，导致他和球团 的关系出现微妙的变化。 Martin's name had long since been souring from within, however, as there were consistent complaints from Kings officials that Martin was too enamored of his own scoring numbers and was reluctant to play tough defense. 球团内部也有声音抱怨马丁只顾着自己得分，而且防守上没有尽力。 Meanwhile, Martin began to form questions of his own. He said he wondered to those close to him whether the Kings could become competitive at any point during his prime and doubted the direction of the franchise. 此时马丁也对自己产生疑虑。他怀疑球队以他为中心建队是否能有竞争力，怀疑这个方向 是否正确。 The biggest change, according to Martin's agent, Dan Fegan, was the drafting of rookie guard Tyreke Evans last year. Evans, from the University of Memphis and a leading Rookie of the Year candidate, was selected fourth overall over Spanish point guard Ricky Rubio. 最大的转变根据马丁的经纪人Dan Fegan的说法是，去年六月我们跳过西班牙控卫Ricky Rubio，选了曼菲斯大学的Tyreke Evans，reke现在也是最佳新秀的竞争者之一。 As Fegan sees it, Evans' style clearly was not conducive to Martin's, whose departure became inevitable. Fegan认为reke的球风并不能对马丁产生帮助，分裂是不可避免的。 "I think (Martin) felt like (the Kings) weren't being upfront with him regarding their intentions or concerns regarding him and Tyreke," Fegan said. "The seeds for the Kevin Martin trade were sowed the moment (Petrie) drafted Tyreke Evans. Fegan：「我想他﹝马丁﹞认为国王对他和reke的组合的意图不够坦白。当Prtrie选了 Tyreke Evans时就已经埋下交易马丁的契机了。」 "As sad as Kevin is to leave Sacramento, the fans and his teammates, he's equally excited to be going to a championship-caliber team that hopefully makes a run in Houston," Fegan said. 「马丁对於离开沙加缅度，离开喜爱他的球迷离开一起打拼的队友感到很伤心，但他很高 兴自己可以加入一只冠军等级的球队，希望自己在那里有好表现。」 After Martin's left wrist surgery Nov. 9 forced him to miss more than two months this season, he and Evans were an inconsistent duo in their short time together. Upon his return Jan. 15, Petrie said he foresaw a backcourt that could be one of the league's most dynamic. 本季马丁左腕的手术让他缺席两个月的比赛，他和reke只在一起配合了很短的时间，二人 组的表现也不稳定。一月十五日马丁归队後，Prtrie说他预期这对後场能够成为联盟最具 宰制力的组合之一。 Despite opting to break it up, Petrie disputed the notion that the trade was related to how the two players fit. 尽管这个梦已经被打碎，Petrie驳斥交易的原因和两位球员搭配的情况有所关连。 "In all fairness to Kevin, I think it's really hard to live up to those kinds of expectations when you've been out that long," he said. "I really did think that the last three of our last four games or so he was starting to look like his normal self." 「这不能全怪马丁，当你缺席这麽久後你很难马上达到大家对你的期望。我真的认为他在 过去四场比赛已经恢复他的平常水准。」 The problem, as Martin saw it, though, was far less focused on Evans. Younger players were none too thrilled to give significant playing time back, while Martin grew frustrated that he wasn't featured more heavily in coach Paul Westphal's offense. 问题在於﹝由马丁的观点﹞大家都没注意到reke的部份，年轻人浪费太多进攻时间。马丁 因为自己并不能很有效地融入Paul Westphal的攻击体系感到很沮丧。 "When I was hurt, you look at how guys started to develop," he said. "There was a new energy and stuff like that, and now you start to build a system toward their strengths because your main player was out so long." 马丁：「当我受伤的时候，我看着这些年轻人开始成长。球队充满着新气息，接着球队 开始以新人打造新的系统，因为身为球队主干的你缺席太久了。」 -- 感谢总管大指正，还有错误请不吝指教 --
