http://0rz.tw/2kZGJ HOUSTON – Donté Greene knows the final 18 games of this season are of supreme importance. Such is life for a fourth-year player at the end of his rookie contract with no assurances he will be re-signed following this season. 绿绿知道剩下的18场比赛非常重要。 在新秀合约的最後一年，这位四年级生并没有被保证会在季後重签合约。 Greene's approach to the rest of the season is simple. "Just play, really," he said. "Go out and work hard before the games or in practice time and just try to be ready. It's a contract year for me; it's a big last (18) games of the season so (I'll) just try to work hard." 绿绿对接下来的比赛的对策很简单。 「就是去打，真的，在赛前或是在练习时间上去然後努力表现，还有随时准备好， 今年是我的合约年；接下来的比赛很重要，所以我会努力表现。」绿绿说。 Greene has shown reasons for the Kings to keep him, but the team needs to see more commitment by Greene to being a player who can contribute consistently if they are to commit to him long term. Kings coach Keith Smart describes Greene's skills as "intriguing." "I shared with him that 'You've got to get to the point, with your size, (playoff) contenders are knocking down our door saying give us this guy; that's where your game has to grow to,' " Smart said. 绿绿已经展现国王续签他的理由，但是队上想要看到他能够有稳定贡献，如果他们给了他 一张长约。 国王总教练聪明哥形容绿绿的技术是「耐人寻味」。 「我对他说：『你要用你的身高去移动到那个位置，跟我们抢季後赛门票的队伍敲我们的 门说给我们这家伙；这是你在比赛中的成长。』」 So, if the Kings haven't seen the best of Greene, they will have to decide how long to wait, and how much to invest, to see if he becomes a consistent contributor. "The potential for a guy that size (6-foot-11, 226 pounds) that can play on the perimeter, shooting guard, small forwards, power forwards and still be able to function when you put him at power forward, is a commodity," Smart said. "And he has to understand what he can do in the NBA and what he can do for a team." 所以，如果国王没有看到绿绿最好的一面，他们就必须要决定要等多久，要花多少钱， 来看绿绿是否能成长成一个稳定的球员。 「他有潜力可以同时打SG、SF、PF，而且在叫他打PF时，他还能保有活动力。 他必须要知道他能在NBA做什麽以及能为队上做什麽。」聪明哥说。 The knock on Greene has been he is too focused on offense. And rather than attack the rim with his size and athleticism, Greene prefers to shoot three-pointers. Smart doesn't want to eliminate perimeter shooting from Greene's game but has encouraged him to drive more. "Try to take my open shots, but at the end of the day drive the ball," Greene said. "Try to get to the free-throw line, get in the paint and create for my teammates." 绿绿有个问题是他太专注於进攻。 而且与其利用他的身高及体能去打禁区，他宁可去投三分。 聪明哥不会去阻止他的三分，但是也鼓励他做更多。 「试着带出空档，但是在最後持球(?)；试着站上罚球线；试着进入禁区， 然後为队友创造空档。」绿绿说。 The Kings want to see Greene excel defensively. Former Kings assistant coach and noted NBA defender Mario Elie would often say Greene could last more than a decade in the NBA just as a defender. 国王希望看到绿绿擅长防守。 前国王助理教练及前NBA後卫Mario Elie说绿绿可以靠防守在NBA打滚超过10年。 Greene has impressed one new teammate with his defensive effort this season. "Donté is an underrated defender in this league," said Kings forward Chuck Hayes. "And it's unfortunate he's not been able to get the credibility he deserves. And to be honest, I didn't know he was this good of a defender when I was in Houston. Being his teammate, this guy really knows his opponent." 绿绿让他的一位新队友对他的防守有印象。 海爷说：「绿绿是一个被低估的防守者，但是很不幸的他没有获得相应的名声。 说实话，我在火箭的时候不知道他的防守这麽好。做为他的队友，他很了解他的对手。」 Greene is averaging 14.9 minutes, the lowest since his rookie season, so he has to make the most of his chances. And it's not easy for Greene, because of his perimeter skills, to go from starting against the likes of Dallas All-Star Dirk Nowitzki to barely playing against a more traditional power forward. 绿绿本季平均上场14.9分钟，自从新秀年以来最低，所以他必须抓住他的机会。 但这并不容易，因为他的外线能力，他在对上德佬之类的球员才先发。 Regardless of the matchup, Greene knows he has to make maximize the opportunity. "I'm just working with the coaching staff, watching film and using my God-gifted abilities," Greene said. "I was blessed to have this height and athleticism, be able to move my feet, guard guys. I've just got to take advantage." 不管对手是谁，绿绿知道他要把他的机会最大化。 「我只是跟着教练团一起努力，看影片，然後利用我的天分。我对於我能有这样的 身高跟体能非常感激，在对上後卫的时候，我有着优势。」 ======================== 绿绿加油，希望你能留在国王。 --
