Kaman's Portland performance could pay off Kaman在对拓荒者的比赛中证明他的价值 资料来源：http://0rz.tw/jC0HM 网页版：http://yen817cpbl.pixnet.net/blog/post/37769816 That might have been a money game for Chris Kaman. Kaman opted to sign a one-year, $8 million deal with the Mavericks last summer instead of taking a similar offer from the Trail Blazers. Considering how he’s bounced between the starting lineup and the end of the bench, it’s hard to believe that Kaman will return to Dallas next season. Portland could be interested again in signing him, however. Kaman certainly made a strong case Sunday night that he can help the Blazers, who will again have a hole to fill at center with J.J. Hickson entering free agency. 对Chris Kaman来说，这可能是场牵涉到钞票的比赛。Kaman在去年夏天拒绝拓荒者差不多 的报价，选择和小牛签下一笔800万美元的合约。考虑到Kaman的角色游走在先发和板凳末 端之间，不难想像他下一季不会再回到达拉斯，而拓荒者很可能会再一次的网罗他。 Kaman在前一场比赛打得很强势，对於队上中锋J.J. Hickson即将变成自由球员的拓荒者 来说，Kaman是适合弥补这空缺的人选。 Not to damn his 26-point, 11-rebound, two-block outing with faint praise, but this was arguably the best performance by Kaman during this frustrating season. Kaman’s season-high point total matching the highest scoring game by a Mavs center during the Dirk Nowitzki era. He also recorded his third double-double of the season – and first since Jan. 2 – despite playing only 25 minutes. “Kaman was great from the beginning of the game,” coach Rick Carlisle told reporters. “He hit his first shot, was really active on defense, rebounded like crazy and just gave us a terrific all-around game.” 单场26分11篮板2火锅，本季第三度的double-double，无疑是这个令人失望球季中的最佳 演出，Kaman的本季新高也同样是小牛队中锋在Dirk世代中的最高得分。卡帅和记者表示 ：「Kaman整场球打得太棒了，在防守和抓篮板上也相当积极。」 This season, however, has been far from great for the 10-year veteran 7-footer. Billed as the best offensive big man the Mavs have had to pair with Nowitzki, his former teammate on the German Olympic team, Kaman expected to be the full-time starter when he decided to come to Dallas. However, in large part due to his defensive struggles, Kaman has been demoted to part of a starting center committee, playing less than 10 minutes in eight games last month. Carlisle went back to Kaman as the starter for this road trip, and the former All-Star responded by averaging 14.8 points and 8.8 rebounds while shooting 57.1 percent from the floor in 22.8 minutes per game. Kaman has been honest about his frustrations, mentioning several times that he feels pressure as he prepares to be a free agent again. But he’s remained professional about his situation and proved during this trip that he stayed ready to play even while riding the pine. 对这位球龄十年的七尺老将来说，这个球季距离成功有一段不小的距离，原先预期场场先 发和Dirk组成最强的内线攻击组合，然而因为防守上的缺陷，Kaman被调离了先发阵容， 上个月有8场球只打不到10分钟。卡帅在这次客场之旅把Kaman拉回先发，他也随即用场均 14.8分8.8篮板附带57.1%的投篮命中率做回应。Kaman坦承对於自己的表现相当挫折，不 只一次提到对於即将成为自由球员感到巨大的压力，但他仍然保持敬业的心态面对这些， 并证明他有所准备。 “They’re paying me money to play basketball,” Kaman said on the Mavs’ television broadcast. “That’s my job. … I’m here to do a job and be a professional, and that’s what I try to do.” Kaman might be on Portland’s payroll next season. His performance Sunday night at the Rose Garden probably reminded the Blazers’ brass why they were interested in the big man last summer. Kaman在小牛的电视频道上说道：「他们付钱让我打球，身为一个职业球员，我在这里就 是尽我所能做好份内的工作。」Kaman下一季很可能出现在拓荒者的阵容里，前一场的表 现大概提醒了拓荒者制服组为什麽去年夏天会对他有兴趣。 A few more notes from the Mavs’ win that salvaged a split on the road trip: 一些客场之旅後的一些笔记： 1. Trix’s trip: Shawn Marion accomplished something on this trip he hadn’t done since March 2011: He scored 20-plus points in two straight games. Marion starred in the Mavs’ two wins to end the trip. He lit up the Kings for 25 points and 12 rebounds and followed that with a 20-point, seven-rebound performance in Portland. Marion was 20-of-31 from the floor in those two games. “Marion’s on a roll here,” Carlisle said. “He’s scoring, rebounding and making plays. He did a terrific job again tonight.” 1. 骇客之旅：香妹达成自从2011年3月之後就没办到过的事，连续两战得分超过20。香妹 对国王拿下25分12篮板，对拓荒者拿下20分7篮板，总计两场比赛31投20中，帮助小牛拿 下二连胜。 2. Dirk’s difficulties: This was a tough trip for Dirk Nowitzki, who was as hot as he’d been all season when the Mavs left for their week away, having just torched the Bulls for a season-high 35 points on 14-of-17 shooting to carry the Mavs to a miraculous comeback win. Nowitzki averaged only 11.5 points on 40.9 percent shooting on the four-game trip. His production in the fourth quarters on this trip was particularly terrible: a total of one point, coming on a free throw well after the Mavs’ fate had been decided in their blowout loss to the Lakers. Nowitzki didn’t play in the fourth quarter Sunday due to a foot/ankle injury, which he suffered earlier in the game and the Mavs consider minor. 2. Dirk陷入低潮：在打出本赛季单周最佳表现後，Dirk在这段客场征战打得相当挣扎， 四战平均只有11.5分投篮命中率40.9%，四场比赛的第四节更只有在对湖人的垃圾时间中 靠罚球拿1分，前一场比赛因为脚踝的伤势整个第四节都坐在板凳上。 3. Within a whisker of .500: For the third time in the last two weeks, the Mavs will have a chance to get back to .500 and earn the right to finally shave. But Vince Carter, one of the originators of the .500 beard pact, isn’t in any mood to discuss facial hair before the Mavs face the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. “Just win the next game,” Carter said. “That’s all I care about. If it entails having an even record, fine. I’m not going to talk about it. Just win the next game.” 3. 再一度向五成胜率叩关：这两个礼拜第三次距离五成胜率仅有一步之遥，但VC已经不 想再对刮胡子表示什麽言论，VC只专注在拿下下一场比赛的胜利。 ============================================================================= 标题不确定怎麽翻才比较到位 恳请板友赐教 Dirk前後两个礼拜的表现有严重的落差 小牛也和季後赛渐行渐远 从Kaman这一整年的表现来看 德国双塔的组合算是失败收场 Dirk的搭挡还是得像拳王一样的防守型中锋吧 --
