Kleiza's no longer a secret Kleiza不再是秘密武器。 Reserve emerges on national TV to give Nuggets boost 这位逢全国转播必爆发的替补球员，提升了金块队的战力。 http://tinyurl.com/2tz2uj By Chris Tomasson, Rocky Mountain News March 28, 2007 To his tongue-tied teammates, Linas Kleiza has been known as "LK." Seems, though, some other initials have come his way. Linas Kleiza有拗口的名字，所以队友们叫他『LK』，然而现在，他的名子多摆了 几个大写字母。 "TVL," Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony said of his teammate. "That's his name." 金块前锋Carmelo Anthony说，『TVL』现在是他的新名字。 After two sterling national TV showings this month, the forward can relate a bit to what it's like to come up big on American Idol. He has emerged from nowhere into the national eye. 这个月以来，在二家优秀的全国转播单位强力放送之下，这名前锋可以稍微体验一下 美国偶像的感觉。他从一位默默无名的球员，变成全国瞩目的焦点。 Make that the international eye. Before the Nuggets' game Monday against the Detroit Pistons, four reporters milled around Kleiza, including one representing China, one Japan and one Lithuania. 或许可以说，是全世界的焦点。在礼拜一金块作客底特律赛前，有四名记者围着 Kleiza；其中三位分别来自中国、日本、还有立陶宛。 The last one was understandable, considering Kleiza is from Lithuania. That reporter had no problem pronouncing Kleiza's name, something broadcasters and opposing public-address announcers still are having trouble with despite Kleiza's recent success. 有立陶宛的记者并不意外，因为Kleiza就是出身立陶宛。当然这名记者念出Kleiza的 名字没有问题，但是其他一些球场播报人员、广播人员要念出他的名字，还是有些麻 烦。尽管Kleiza最近的表现很活跃。 "I'm used to it," Kleiza said of his name (pronounced LIN-as Clay-za) being botched. "I'm not sensitive about my name. It doesn't matter how they pronounce it." 对於他自己的名字，Kleiza（念LIN-as Clay-za）说：「我早就习惯了，有些人看到 我名子会吱吱唔唔不知道怎麽发音，我不会特别在意我的名字发音，所以他们如何念 也就没有那麽重要了。 If Kleiza continues his stellar play, a pronunciation key might no longer be necessary in the Nuggets' media notes. In the past 10 games, he has averaged 14.1 points and shot 54 percent 27-of-50 on three-pointers. 如果Kleiza持续这样亮眼的表现，那麽在丹佛媒体报导上的特别附注—Kleiza名字发音， 也就不再需要了。过去十场比赛他平均攻下14.1分，三分球投50中27，有54%的命中率。 He has saved his best for national TV. In a March 11 game at Sacramento televised by ABC, Kleiza scored 24 points, which was his career high until he got 29 four days later during a TNT broadcast against the Lakers while making 5-for-6 three-pointers. 他总是把最好的表现展现在全国转播的比赛里。3月11日作客国王队的转播单位是ABC， 而Kleizas拿下生涯最高24分；四天之後，由TNT转播的金块湖人之战，他又刷新了生涯 纪录，轰下29分，三分线6投5中。 Both times, Kleiza was interviewed at halftime, which, he said, got him plenty of ribbing from teammates. 这二场比赛中场报导的焦点人物正是Kleizas，这也让他的队友大大地开了他玩笑。 But it was far from the lights of television where Kleiza, averaging seven points heading into tonight's home game against Seattle, has worked himself into one of the surprises of the 2005 draft. 之前默默无名的Kleiza靠着他的努力，让自己成为2005年选秀会上会令人惊艳的球员 之一。Kleiza将带着对战平均7分，在明晚迎战超音速队。 He was selected No. 27 by the Portland Trail Blazers out of the University of Missouri and dealt that night to the Nuggets. 当年，他以27顺位被拓荒者队从密苏里州大挑上，当晚就被交易到金块队。 In sporadic minutes last season, Kleiza averaged 3.5 points and shot 15 percent (2-of-13) on three-pointers. So, after the season, he stuck around Denver and became a fixture in the gym with player-development coach John Welch. 上个赛季零零碎碎的上场时间，让他的成绩只有3.5分、三分命中率15%、投13中2。 球季结束之後，他选择留在丹佛，成为体育馆的常客，跟球员发展教练John Welch 一起练习。 "I definitely put in a lot of work," said Kleiza, who will play for Lithuania in the summer in the European Championships in Spain, with berths in the 2008 Olympics on the line. "The biggest key is you've got to shoot (three-pointers). You've got to shoot them every day." Kleize将在今年暑假加入立陶宛国家队，参加在西班牙举行的欧洲冠军锦标赛；也是 2008年即将到来的奥运参赛权。Kleiza表示：「我真的下了很大的功夫，其中最重要 的关键就是练习三分线投射，你必须每天练习。」 The work paid off when Kleiza played well in the summer in the World Championship and in the fall during the Nuggets' preseason. 辛苦的努力有了初步的成效，Kleiza在去年夏天举办的世界篮球锦标赛以及秋天 金块的季前训练营的表现都非常棒。 Then the regular season started. Kleiza didn't play much and lost some confidence. Coach George Karl told Kleiza he needed to improve his defense. 接着NBA季赛开始，Kleiza并没有获得多少上场时间，也丧失了自信。教练George Karl 告诉他，『必须加强防守能力』。 So it was back to work. Kleiza honed his defensive skills - he improved enough that Karl didn't hesitate last week to put him on New Jersey's Vince Carter - and practiced late, firing up endless jumpers. 於是Kleiza又开始了自我训练。他不断揣摩加强防守技巧—他的进步，让上礼拜作客 篮网队时，Karl没有半点犹豫就把防守Vince Carter的重任交给他—然後继续练习到 半夜，一次又一次的跳投。 "He's working hard at becoming a very good player," Karl said of the 6-foot-8, 245-pound Kleiza, who has lost 13 pounds since he was a post-up player with Missouri. "He's a committed pro at a very young age (22), which is very unusual in our league. He's very serious about his regimen and his routine. 六尺八寸245磅的Kleiza已经从之前那位在密苏里州大的低位球员，变成减重13磅体重的 小前锋。Karl谈到他时表示：「他非常努力地想要成为出色的球员。才22岁就是一位称 职的职业球员，就算在NBA联盟也非常少见。Kleiza非常认真地要求自己的饮食养生观念 以及例行训练。」 "It's paid dividends. I've never seen a kid go from where he was at the beginning of the year to where he is now as fast as he probably has. And he's earned most of it. . . . The window has been opened up because of situations. . . . But he's played so well we've had to find minutes for him." 「这一切就是他投下心血所带来的效果。我从来没看过有任何一位球员像他一样进步 神速，从季初的平庸表现到现在这麽亮眼，这是他一步一步挣来的结果。在球场上机会 之窗随时都为球员开着，他精采的表现也让我们必须腾出一些时间给他上场。」 In a season featuring suspensions, injuries and two trades, the Nuggets have been an ever-changing team. Kleiza got into the rotation for good at the start of February and, one month later, he regularly is getting 25 minutes a game. 在这个禁赛受伤交易交叉而成的球季，金块队已经换过无数次的阵容。Kleiza从二月初 成为球队固定阵容之後，一个月以来，他的上场时间慢慢成长为平均25分钟。 In his past 10 games, Kleiza has averaged 25.8 minutes. With Karl giving Kleiza the "freedom" to shoot, he has made four or more three-pointers in five of those games and has taken over the team lead with 39.8 percent shooting from beyond the arc. 过去十场比赛以来，Kleiza平均上场25.8分。随着Karl授与他的自由开火权，十场比赛 中有五场，他投进四个以上的三分长射炮，并且取代其他球员，成为队上三分球命中率 最高的平均39.8%。 "To get a guy with his confidence going like (Kleiza's) is, it's great for our team," Anthony said. "It lets us know that we can go to our bench and get contributions." Anthony说：「如果每位球员都能像Kleiza这麽有信心，对金块队帮助很大。这让我们 知道球队的板凳球员可以顷巢而出并做出贡献。」 Kleiza joked he and fellow perimeter reserve J.R. Smith have emerged as "killer duo No. 2" behind Anthony and Allen Iverson. But that hasn't caught on yet. Kleiza开玩笑地说，他和另一位板凳球员J.R. Smith是继Anthony与Iverson之後的 杀手双重奏，可惜这个外号还没流行起来。 As for "TVL," Anthony would like that one to stick. Kleiza helped it more by scoring 14 in an ESPN game Sunday at Cleveland, and he has at least two more ESPN appearances left in the regular season. Anthony应该会比较喜欢『TVL』这个外号，因为Kleiza在礼拜天作客骑士队的比赛中， 又攻下了14分。本季他还有二次以上的机会可以在ESPN全国转播上露面。 （中略超音速金块对战阵容） 伤兵。 超音速：後卫Ray Allen（左脚踝骨刺）；中锋Robert Swift（ACL撕裂）皆无法上场。 金块： 前锋Kenyon Martin（右膝手术）无法上场；前锋Eduardo Najera（左胫骨 撞伤）适情况而定。 抓住机会。 Linas Kleiza has been on a roll offensively in the Nuggets' past 10 games. His statistics before (56 games) and during the streak. Linas Klei是丹佛金块近十场比赛里面进攻的关键角色。 以下为本季前56场与这十场表现数据: 本季前56场 近日火热表现 上场时间 16.7 25.8 出手命中/次数 104-270 49-98 命中率 38.5 50.0 三分球出手命中/次数 37-111 27-50 命中率 33.3 54.0 得分 5.8 14.1 --
