To reach the peak of NBA basketball, they would have to reach the heights of the San Antonio Spurs. 太阳上一季结束後深知球队还有一座山要爬，为了要达到NBA的顶端，他们必须追上马 刺的高度。 They acquired Kurt Thomas and Raja Bell with the idea of conquering that mountain. Phoenix found a peak last season but to get to another, they would need long legs and there are not many of those around these days. 为了征服那座高山，他们广邀K.Thomas、R.Bell等各方好手加入球队。太阳上一季发 现一个顶点，但现在又找到了另外一个，他们必须要有极佳的续航力，但就他们最近的表 现看起来，似乎还有很大的进步空间。 Thomas is out until at least the Western Conference finals and any Amar? Stoudemire comeback chance is gone after Wednesday's surgery to remove debris and drain a cyst in his right knee. Thomas至少要等到太阳闯进西区冠军赛才能归队，而小史更不用说了，他的右膝在星 期三接受移除碎骨及排去囊肿的手术後，本季归队的机率已经趋近於零。 So now what? Are the Suns still game for the hike? 所以现在情况是怎样？太阳仍为追寻Larry O'Brien Trophy而努力比赛吗？ "They've played well all year so it's not like they took something away from us," coach Mike D'Antoni said. "It's our identity. We definitely could've been better with him but we're confident we know we can do it (win a championship). We do have a chance. We have the fourth best record. D'Antoni教练说"他们本季表现一直很优异，所以球队就算少了那几位大个子球员，看 起来也不会差到哪边去。那是我们一贯的风格，很肯定地，如果小史等人归队球队的表现 会更上层楼，但我们有自信就算他们来不及归队，我们依然能拿下总冠军。我们确实有机 会，目前球队战绩可是全联盟第四好的呢。" "Detroit is the only team we haven't beat all year so we feel we can beat anybody." "这一整个球季以来，球队唯一不曾击败的只有战绩暂居联盟第一的底特律活塞，所以 我们认为我们有能力打倒任何一支球队。" Suns Managing Partner Robert Sarver acknowledged the difficulty of Phoenix's path without its projected starting post men but said, "I'm still pretty optimistic about it." 太阳的共同管理人R.Sarver承认球队在预定的先发禁区球员缺阵的情况下要夺冠难度 更高了，但他仍表示"我还是对於球队的前景抱持着相当乐观的态度。" "Title?" Los Angeles Clippers guard Sam Cassell said Wednesday before his team's victory dropped Phoenix to 7-8 since March 9. "Oooph. Anything's possible but it'll be tough for them." 在球队星期三击败太阳，使太阳自3月9日以来的战绩掉到7胜8败的洛杉矶快艇後卫S. Cassell说"总冠军？唔~虽说什麽事都有可能发生啦，但这对他们来说会不会太强人所难了 些？" Although it won't be said aloud at US Airways Center, there may be some relief in Stoudemire's status. The prospect of another Stoudemire return was daunting. It did not go well the first time for Stoudemire's health or the team's well being, considering a mostly made-over roster had not played with him. 虽然这种论调不会在美国航空中心被大声说出来，但其实对於小史的状况大家不必太 过悲观。期待小史另一次的复出似乎有些令人却步，因为他第一次的复出对於自身的健康 ，甚或考虑到在他缺阵後几乎已经确定下来的上场轮替名单，对於球队的实力都不是很好 的决定。 "They've played better since Amar?s been gone because they're more focused," Suns analyst Tom Chambers said. "This team only wins when they're really precise and really click. One little thing can make it go away. When Amar? came back, they were looking over their shoulders." 太阳球评T.Chambers说"他们在小史再次高挂免战牌後反而表现更好是因为他们更专注 於球赛之中了，这支球队只有在保持着相当谨慎的态度且球员相互配合良好的情况下才能 赢球。但有件小事打乱了球队完美的化学作用，那就是之前小史复出时，他们有点高兴到 自乱阵脚。" ESPN NBA Fastbreak's Ric Bucher reported Tuesday that Stoudemire's return created jealousy in the locker room, naming Shawn Marion in particular. ESPN NBA快报的R.Bucher星期二报导指出小史的复出在球员休息室里造成了球员间争 风吃醋的情形，尤其Matrix是特别被点名的一个。 "I don't know what the (expletive) they're talking about," Marion said. "There ain't no jealousy here. We're a team." Matrix说"我不知道他们加油添醋说了些什麽，这儿根本没有什麽球员间眼红忌妒等情 事存在，我们是一支感情融洽的好球队。" The Suns at least know who they are and what arms they will have for the playoff battle. They are undoubtedly small, counting on converted swingmen Boris Diaw and Tim Thomas and Brian Grant's aching knees to man the posts with Marion. 太阳至少还分得清楚谁是自己人而谁才是真正的敌人。无庸置疑地，他们是专打小球 战术的球队，倚赖着变相的摇摆人屌、T.T和有膝盖酸痛问题的BG与Matrix共同分摊球队禁 区攻坚、防守的重责大任。 "They're good enough to beat top teams on any given night," Chambers said. "A seven-game series certainly makes it tougher. Can the Suns shut a team down when they're not scoring? The jury's still out." Chambers说"他们在任何一场比赛里都有能力战胜现今联盟中的顶尖球队，的确，一个 七战四胜制的系列赛会让太阳较难应付。太阳在得分不顺的情况仍能凭藉防守击败其他队 伍吗？球评专家普遍并不看好。" On the upside, the Suns would have home-court advantage, be favored and avoid Western Conference frontrunners San Antonio and Dallas until the conference finals. 乐观来看，太阳将握有季後赛主场优势，而且直到西区冠军赛前都不会遭遇到例行赛 战绩优於自己的圣安东尼奥马刺及达拉斯小牛。 "They're still a dangerous team but I don't see them beating San Antonio but I do see them having a chance against Dallas because they don't play defense as well," ESPN analyst Greg Anthony said. "That (Suns) team is not equipped right now to win the championship. Not having an interior presence and a guy who can dominate in the paint in the playoffs is big. ESPN球评G.Anthony说"他们仍是一支相当具有威胁性的球队，我不认为他们能击败马 刺但他们有机会打倒小牛，因为小牛的防守也没好到哪去。太阳现在的阵容还不足以争夺 总冠军，他们欠缺可以在禁区内呼风唤雨的大个子球员，而这在想要在季後赛脱颖而出相 当关键的一个因素。" "As dominant as Amar?was (in last year's playoffs against the Spurs), Phoenix only won one game. They're going to have to rely on a lot of guys who don't have playoff experience but I don't see why they can't get to the conference finals." "就连去年小史去年季後赛对上马刺时在禁区内如此予取予求，太阳还是只有拿下一场 胜利。他们现在必须倚赖大量未曾有季後赛经验的球员，但我不会因此就不看好他们无法 挥军西区冠军赛。" Kurt Thomas does not get out of his foot cast for another 2 1/2 weeks, giving the Suns an idea that they are going to have to find its way through defensive woes without him. Bell is concerned Phoenix has wavered at a time it should peak. K.Thomas的脚部伤势大概还需要两个半礼拜的时间才能完全复原，让太阳不得不好好 思考，试图找出在他缺阵的情况下该使用什麽样的防守策略。Bell则是很担心球队每次在 比赛的关键时刻常常没办法稳住阵脚。 "If we can play the way we want to play, we can do it without (size)," Bell said. "But if teams trap us into their game or take us out of fours, that's when size becomes a factor. It's important for us to keep it at a high tempo." Bell说"如果我们能打出自己的风格，那其实我们不用太过顾虑球员身材的问题。不过 ，如果对手让我们不得不跟着他们的节奏打，或强攻我们的四号球员，那身材就会变成足 以影响球赛胜负的关键因素了。对我们来说，把球赛控制在快节奏的情况下是相当重要的 一件事。" --
