http://0rz.tw/jMa1w The marketing types took a liking to DeMarcus Cousins months before he had played a game at Arco Arena, as evidenced by the poster of the Kings rookie on the side of Arco. 挂在Arco的巨型海报证明了国王全体对於表弟有多少的期待。 But the hype would mean little if Cousins didn't have any game to back up the hoopla. 但是过多的期待真的能转换为实际表现吗？ One exhibition game into his NBA career, Cousins justified the excitement. 表弟今晚用行动证明球团的选择是对的。 The Kings' first-round pick had 16 points and 16 rebounds in a 109-95 win over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night at Arco. 表弟今晚用　　16分, 16篮板的表现 帮助国王击退来访的太阳队。 "I thought DeMarcus gave us everything we're looking for in the post on both ends of the floor," Kings coach Paul Westphal said after the exhibition opener for both teams. "He showed why we think so highly of him. And if he ever gets in shape, he'll really be able to do a lot." 西佛说 「我想这就是为什麽我们选秀时想要表弟的原因，他能给我们禁区攻防带来 　巨大保障。如果他保持好的比赛状态，他能在场上做很多的事」 Cousins' conditioning was criticized before the Kings drafted him fifth overall in June. Cousins averaged just 23.5 minutes in his lone season at Kentucky. He played 29 minutes, 47 seconds against the Suns. 表弟在Kentucky平均上场是23.5分钟 但在今天他上场了将近30分钟。 Cousins made 8 of 13 shots. Five of his rebounds were offensive rebounds. Westphal said the plan was to play Cousins in four- to five-minute intervals to keep him fresh and that he did well. 西佛说他使用表弟的方法就是距离4~5分钟让他上场一次 让他保持对整场比赛的新鲜感。 "That wasn't by (the game) clock, but I wasn't going to leave him in longer than five or six minutes at a time, and then (I was going to) give him a rest," Westphal said. "I think that's what he needs right now." 「虽然没有明确的工作时间细则，但我不会把他冷在场边超过5~6分钟让他纳凉 　　我想让他多参与整场比赛对他而言最好。」 （译：ＦＢ有表弟的玩家：　　爽） When Cousins was in the game, he was impressive. He scored from the perimeter, and in the post with touch and with powerful dunks. 表弟在场上很活跃 他可以在外线得分 也可以在内线强打。 "Cousins is going to be a real solid player for them," said Suns coach Alvin Gentry. "He is going to have some ups and downs, but he is a real skilled big guy that can do some things." 太阳教练Alvin　Gentry说 「表弟是国王以後的支柱，他之後会碰到一些挫折，但是他是个有技巧的大个子。」 Unlike in his summer-league outings against rookies and players on the fringe of the NBA, Cousins went against Robin Lopez, the only Suns starter to play more than 30 minutes. 今晚的对手是Robin Lopez 他是太阳先发上场最久的。 A first-round pick of the Suns in 2008, Lopez brings height (7 feet) and size (255 pounds) to the floor. 介绍Lopez弟。 That didn't seem to bother Cousins, who is listed at 6-11 and 270 pounds. 表弟现在是 6-11, 270磅 "I know I'm a big body as well," Cousins said. "As well as I'm feeling them bump me, they're feeling the exact same thing. That's how I approach it. I feel you on that end; you're going to feel me down on the other end." 「我知道我很巨大，对手撞上我时我相信他们会有同样的感觉 　　这是我的打球方式 　　我选择让你了解我的存在，然後感受到我的巨大压迫。」　　 Cousins said the way Westphal used him was fine as he eases into the NBA game. 表弟说西佛对他的胃。 "He wants to throw me in the fire, but he doesn't want to just leave me out there and have me playing the whole game," Cousins said. "I really think for the regular season, he just wants me to get a taste and get a groove going with the whole game and see it." 『他把我丢进战局，然後他希望我全场比赛都能参与到， 　他希望我从热身赛开始体会ＮＢＡ例行赛全场比赛会是什麽样子。』 Westphal was able to have fun at the expense of his prized rookie, who was called for traveling late, one of his five turnovers. 当表弟最後被吹走步时，西佛只是笑笑。 For Westphal, it was proof Cousins had plenty of energy. 对西佛而言，他看到的是表弟的活力。 "He held up fine," Westphal said. "He was so excited at the end of the game, he was so happy, he jumped up and down before he made his move." 『他自始至终在场上打球都很高兴，他又叫又跳的，然後打球。」 Cousins wasn't surprised by his debut. He has high expectations for himself. 表弟说今天首战的成绩他不意外，他说他对自己期望很高。 "That's what I do – I produce," Cousins said. "I find some type of way to help my team win, and that's what I did." 「这就是我的工作，我在场上就是要有产能，我找到方法帮助球队赢 这就是我在作的事。」 Tyreke Evans led the Kings with 26 points and five assists. Jason Thompson came off the bench to add 17 points and 10 rebounds. 国王队员成绩，详见box The Suns played All-Star guard Steve Nash just five minutes, 55 seconds. Grant Hill played the same amount of time. 太阳的NASH跟Hill都没有太认真打这场比赛。 --
