今天来更新下太阳青年军Earl Clark的消息。 原文网址：http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/PaulCoro/99484 若有错烦请指正。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If Earl Clark does not break through this season, it won't be for lack of attention. 即使Clark本季仍然没有破茧而出的表现，他也不会因此而被漠视。 Already, Clark was working over the past month with the Suns' new player development assistant, Nenad Trajkovic. Now, the Suns have added a new voice with a familiar face to Team Clark. Clark在过去一个月之中一直跟太阳队新任的球员辅导师 Nenad Trajkovic一同进行训练。 （备注：Nenad Trajkovic在上赛季是Dragic的私人教练，因其训练颇有成效而被太阳延 揽。） 现在，太阳决定增派一位新导师来协助Clark。 这位就是凤凰城水星的教练Corey Gaines。 Phoenix Mercury Coach Corey Gaines has been working with Clark and will come to La Jolla, Calif., to help with Clark's development during training camp at coach Alvin Gentry's request. Gaines said he knew the Suns 2009 14th overall pick was talented but did not realize how much until he got a recent up-close daily look. Corey Gaines已经跟Clark展开训练工作，并在总教练Gentry的要求下，在季前训练营期 间协助Clark的发展事宜。 Corey Gaines知道Clark是有天分的球员，但并不晓得他的潜能有多深，直到最近跟Clark 朝夕相处逐日观察才知道Clark拥有多惊人的天赋。 "He's talented as all hell," Gaines said. "He has the ability. He can jump. He can shoot. Maybe not the 3 but he can shoot 15 feet and in. He can put the ball on the ground. He can put the ball on the ground and make the right pass to people. And probably the main thing is he can really defend. 「Clark的天分实在惊人，他拥有多方面的才能。他跳得高，也有一定的投射能力，也许 没有到三分线那麽远，但15英尺的投射绝对是有把握的。他也有运球能力，也有良好视野 能找到队友传球。」 「但最重要的是，他具有巨大的防守潜力。」 "What I've been telling him is, you want to stay in the league. defend. Get your little niche. Not too many guys have that. He can be 6 inches away and not touch you and not foul you and move his feet. That's a gift. You might as well use that. All that other stuff I call a bonus. You can guard a Dirk, a Carmelo, because of your size and ability." 我告诉他，如果他想要在联盟立足，就要善用自身的利基点—「防守」。并没有太多球员 跟他一样，具有这麽好的高度与速度。 Clark可以仅距离你6英寸（15公分左右，比乡民XX长度短一半）的防守位置，既不接触你 也不对你犯规，用他的脚步守住你。 这是老天给Clark的礼物，他只要善用他的高度与能力，他就可以守住德佬跟甜瓜。 Clark continue to show a work ethic, putting in time on the court just as he would come in for extra evening work during the season. But a perception remains from his easy way and that he has a low flame. Clark持续地努力训练，除了一般在正常时间的训练之外，他在赛季之中都会再留下来进 行一个额外的傍晚练习。 但感觉上Clark惯於一再使用他自认为的得意技，并且Clark是属於慢热型的球员。 "I told him, 'You may get two minutes or three minutes, let's make the best of those,' " Gaines said. "Let's go in the there, hustle, get your hand on some balls. If you have an open shot, hit it. If you have the chance to go to the basket, go hard, finish, go to the free throw line. If not, get in there and make a pass and make somebody else better and make the right basketball play." 我告诉Clark，你很可能只有2～3分钟的上场时间，所以你要尽快地展现你最好的一面。 要积极参与比赛，如果你有空档就不要犹豫地投中它；如果有机会上篮就拼命的完成动作 ，争取上罚球线的机会。如果没有好的进攻机会，那麽就传给位置与机会更好的队友，进 行正确的篮球运作。 Clark did not distinguish himself as the staff hoped he would in summer play but he did finish informal workouts with a strong week. His defined NBA skill, defensive versatility, was on display when he was guarding every position but point guard in his man-to-man assignment, not to mention his ability to switch onto other men. There are still his off-moments, like when he reverts to shooting from above his head or his frustration with a missed shot keeps him from retreating on defense for a moment. Clark并不认为他现在的表现，跟制服组希望他在夏联的表现有何不同。不过Clark过去 一周在非正式的练习中一直都有很有抢眼的表现。他展现出了除了防守控卫以外，可以防 守多个位置的一对一防守能力。更不用说他的换防能力也很出色。 The biggest criticism of Clark from summer league play was his willingness to settle for a perimeter shot on offense. 大家对Clark夏季联赛最大的批评就是他老是喜欢在弧顶左右的位置跳投。 "I told him, 'You can always get that 18-footer,' " Gaines said. "But he has the ability to go to the hole and sometimes the best basketball play is not scoring. Sometimes, it's hard to get guys to understand that." Gaines表示，我告诉过Clark，你可以永远在18尺远做跳投，但不要忘记你有切入上篮的 能力，而且篮球不是只有得分，你也可以传给机会更好的队友。 有时候，年轻人就是年轻人，很难让他了解篮球正确的运作机制。 It is such a critical time for Clark because the team has options on the third and fourth years of his contract wtih a decision on 2011-12 due at the end of October. Gentry came out of last season saying he would be disappointed if Clark was not in this season's rotation but the scene changed with Hedo Turkoglu, Hakim Warrick and Gani Lawal being added. Clark应有危机意识的是，球队在10月底时会决定要不要执行他後两年的合约。 Gentry曾经说过如果Clark在本赛季如果不能进入轮替他会很失望，但目前的情境已经 改变了，Turkoglu, Warrick 和 Lawal的加入，都使得轮替名单更加拥挤。 Clark looks like he will be hard-pressed to crack the rotation but will get his chances in preseason games. Perhaps a solid preseason could spark another team's interest in trading for him but that would be hard to find at this time of year, when many teams are having difficulties cutting a player they like. 目前Clark想要再轮替中占有一席之地颇为困难，但他在季前赛会有足够的机会争取固定 的上场时间。虽然好的季前赛表现会让其他队有兴趣交易他，但在今年各队员额僧多粥少 的局面中，Clark被交易的机率很小。 "Corey and Nenad have done a phenomenal job with Earl," Gentry said. "Earl has made a lot of strides." Gentry表示Corey Gaines and Nenad Trajkovic在协助Clark发展的工作上已有非凡的 成效。而Clark的表现也已经有大幅的进展。 --
