这是相关系列文章第三篇，因为是今天的新文章所以先翻，有空再把旧的拿去来整理。 This has been a much-delayed third part of my periodic column on the 2010-11 Phoenix Suns' season.More than at any other time in the recent past, this season has seen a seriesof ups and downs. As an ardent fan, it pleases me to no end to say that the tide is now at a crest—the team is settled and has figured its way into asynergistic combination with complementary components. 就这一系列我发的关於今年太阳队的文章来说，这篇是出来的有点晚了。跟之前的几个 球季比起来，这季的太阳跟坐云霄飞车一样高低起伏不定。身为一个狂热的球迷，我真的 可以非常高兴的说，现在太阳已经逐渐冲上顶峰了。这支球队现在越发成熟，而且再补齐 了该有的各种元素後，充满了能量。 There are quite a few things to rejoice at about the current team and a few things that are huge concerns as well. What follows is my view on the four most crucial aspects of today's Phoenix Suns; subsequently, I have also provided my semi-educated, semi-fanatic guesstimate on the team's win-loss projection the rest of the way. 这边我要拿出来说的是，这里有一些这支队伍最近值得大家开心及注意的地方。我提出了 四点我认为对太阳队最重要的关键。同时，我也加入了一些我自己关於这支队伍之後的 比赛有可能影响到胜败地方的想法。 1. Nash’s Shooting Woes Nash的神射哀歌 No. 13 is still the team’s MVP and is one of the top three point guards in the league. His ability to spoon-feed his big men off of the pick-and-roll is amazing. The number of 'bigs' whose careers he has redefined—Steven Hunter, Jake Voskuhl, Boris Diaw, Robin Lopez—keeps adding-up as we can safely add Hakim Warrick and Marcin Gortat to that list. More on Gortat later, but suffice is it to say that he ought to pay at least 20 percent of his next paycheck to Nash. 13号是这支队伍的MVP，而且依然是联盟前三好的控球後卫。他利用档切後开创出空间喂 球给大个子的功力是不可思议的。我们来看看有多少所谓的"大块头"因为有他而重新诠释 了自己的威力 - Steven Hunter,Jake Voskuhl, Boris Diaw, Robin Lopez - 事实上我们 已经可以把瓦力跟锅贴通通加到这一系列里面了。关於锅贴我们等下会讨论，但是这已经 足以说明他该把自己薪水中的20%付给Nash。 Having said all that, we are seeing Nash in one of his worst shooting slumps of the time he has spent in Phoenix. Over the last seven games, he has shot 34 percent from the field, including an alarming 12 percent (2/17) from three-point land. 我们必须这麽说，今年是Nash在投射方面最挣扎的一年，过去的7场比赛中，他只有34%的 投篮命中率，包含了亮起红灯警讯的12%(2/17)三分球命中率。 Much of his slump can be attributed to his health worries, as he appears to be hampered by a tender groin. But I do also think that he is getting more physically "worked' by opposing guards this season than ever before. Nash has always had trouble guarding the Rondos, Parkers and Deron Williams of the world; that trend has been evident as usual. But troubling signs are when you have the likes of Kyle Lowry, Jose Calderon and Beno Udrih trumping you. 很大部分来说，他麽命中率下滑可以归咎於他的伤势，他的鼠蹊部受伤大大的阻碍了他。 但我也认为是因为这个球季中，对手後卫们比以往更常常用许多的肢体冲撞"招呼"他。 大家都知道Nash常常在防守软豆，小胖或是趴车的时候出现问题。但是问题的警讯是在於 当连像Kyle Lowry, Jose Calderon以及Beno Udrih都可以变成王牌重创你时，这就糟了。 It could be a defined plan by opposing teams, or it might finally be the first signs of age. Maybe a bit of both. All in all, Nash, while still being the nerve wire that runs through the Phoenix system, is undoubtedly at a stage where he needs more backup help than in previous seasons. In that regard, Aaron Brooks is, without a doubt, a positive step. 这可以说是对手球队的一个防守策略，或者我们直接说是年纪的影响。Nash，这个多年不 变的太阳系统中枢，毫无疑问的已经到了需要更多支援的时候。就这点来说，小AB，无须 多言，是一步好棋。 2. Tough Going without Frye 缺少Frye非常艰困 Hakim Warrick made fans forget about Channing Frye at least for one night, with his career-best performance yesterday against the Rockets. While he consistently delivered throughout the game and was clutch especially in the last few minutes with a few mid-range jumpers, it might be overzealous and incorrect to hoist him as an adequate Frye replacement. 瓦力在昨晚对抗火箭时用他生涯最好的表现，让人们忘记了Frye的存在。然而他昨晚最後 几分钟的那几个神来一笔中距离神射并不是他稳定而正常的表现，要求他每场如此而且完 全补上Frye的位置是不正确而且太过乐观的想法。 Warrick’s defence is rather porous, and for a power forward, his rebounding numbers are pathetic. Also, his inability to stretch the floor will be enervating for the Suns, who have thrived on Frye’s ability to take his defender to the three-point line, thus enabling Nash, Gortat, Hill, Dudley, etc to play inside. On top of his three-point shooting, Frye has been an absolute revelation on D and rebounding, particularly in the last month or so. Over that time frame, he has averaged almost nine boards per game, which has been an incredible uptick for someone with career averages of five rebounds per game. 瓦力的防守能力不好，而且就一个大前锋而言，他的篮板也实在令人同情。同时，他没有 拉开空间的能力这点也会对太阳造成打击，在这个环节上Frye就做得很棒，因为他的攻击 距离可以远至三分线，这样可以让Nash，锅贴，Hill，达力等球员往内线打。Frye的三分 求能力无庸置疑，更棒的是他展现出他的防守以及篮板能力，尤其是过去的一个月。在这 段期间内，他平均可以拿下接近九个篮板。这对於一个生涯平均只有五个篮板的人而言是 个不可思议的大进化。 Frye will surely be missed, and the Suns better hope that he is back within the next two weeks, as has been stated. Beyond that, any prolonged absence might mean curtains to the Suns’ chances of getting into the playoffs. Frye已经确定要缺席一阵子了，而且太阳们最好祈祷他能在两周後归队。如果他的归队时 间每拉长一点，太阳的季後赛之窗就越关上一点。 3. Gortat – 2nd Best Center in West 锅贴 - 西区第二强中锋。 The Suns have always been able to spring surprising results with their trades/pick-ups. Boris Diaw was being treated like crap in Atlanta before being salvaged by Phoenix. Joe Johnson was undervalued in Boston prior to blossoming during that magical season with the “Seven Seconds or Less” Suns. More recently, the Suns have been able to revitalize the brand equity of Raja Bell, Grant Hill, Jared Dudley, James Jones and even the aforementioned Hakim Warrick. 太阳常常会从他们的选秀或是交易中得到大惊奇。屌爷如是，鹰帝如是(这段...)。在 亚特兰大被当作垃圾看待的屌爷来到太阳後浴火重生。更别提鹰帝在位时太阳着名的" 七秒或更少的早攻"。最近几年来看的话，来到太阳会变不死鸟重生的人选一共有帅哥 贝尔，Hill，达力，JJ以及现在的瓦力。 But no one has managed quite the ripples being created by Marcin Gortat. The Polish Hammer has been otherworldly in Phoenix and is flourishing as a result of extended playing time, an open offense and most importantly, being at the receiving end of a pick-and-roll executed by a genius at point guard. This might sound blasphemous, but at times, his ability to roll and finish and also to get timely boards at the offensive and defensive end, almost tallies with what Amar'e used to bring to the table. 但是他们之中没有一个人能像锅贴一样掀起如此巨大的波澜。这个波兰战鎚来到太阳後 大大增加了上场时间，也因为这多出来的时间而整个大爆发，尤其是在於开阔进攻方面， 他是我们的天才後卫的档切好帮手。这麽说或许有点过头，但是就现在而言，他帮忙单挡 以及档切完之後的攻击力，加上不论是在进攻或是防守方面的篮板球，已经超过了过去 阿骂所能够带给我们的。 I have been following the Suns for the last 20 years and can safely say that Gortat has been the premier center the team has had over that span. He is a true five and combines the tenet of eating up space with some ballet-like grace on offense. In fact, at this time, I cannot honestly think of two better players at his position in the conference—the Lakers’ Gasol might be the only clear-cut better option than Scorchin' Marcin. 我看太阳的比赛看超过20年，可以很肯定的说锅贴是这支球队有过的最强大中锋。他是一 个纯正的中锋，同时拥有能够占据空间而优美得分的能力。事实上，就现在而言，我必须 说我不认为在中锋这个位置上有超过两个人能够比他好 - 湖人的阿姊是唯一明显比他强 的球员。 4. Grant Hill Is All-World in Defense 不死鸟的全方位防守。 Phoenix is not, and will never be, a great team defense. They have too many gaping holes—in scheme and in individual ability—to enable the kind of physically-intimidating presence displayed by the likes of Boston, San Antonio and LA. Still, within this predominantly porous set-up, there are individual stars and none more so than Grant Hill. 太阳从来就不是，或者说也不会是，一只好的防守球队。他们有太多漏洞了 - 不管是在 团队或是在个人方面 - 不能够打出强硬的肢体防守，就像是波士顿，马刺或是湖人。但 是，尽管我们的防守阵容千疮百孔，我们还是有一个闪闪发亮的大锁叫做 Grant Hill. Hill is playing an individual defender role for the Suns similar to what Marion, Bell and Joe Johnson use to be tagged with in prior seasons. Like Marion, Hill enjoys clamping down his man; unlike Marion, though, Hill appears to be as happy holding down his opponent to a 10-point outing as he would be to light up 30 on offense. Marion was prone to sulk if the points were not forthcoming. Grant Hill looks to be above and beyond the desire to be an offensive juggernaut at this stage of his career. Hill现在扮演的一对一终结者角色就像以前的香妹，辣椒以及鹰帝一样。像香妹，Hill 很享受着死缠他的对手，而不像香妹的地方是Hill比起自己得超过30分，把他负责防守 对手锁死在10分更让他乐在其中。香妹有时候会对於自己无法得分感到生气，而Hill， 在他现在的生涯阶段，早就已经看透了想要当一个得分手的慾望。 In the last two weeks, Hill has had primary defensive responsibility on the following stellar performers—Kevin Martin, Kevin Durant, Paul Pierce, Joe Johnson and Deron Williams (while with Utah). Here are the results: 过去两周以来，Hill都是负责防守对方的主力球员 - 小马丁，雷帝，包皮，鹰帝以及小 胖(包含在爵士时期)。这里是他的战绩。 Kevin Martin --- 17 points (on 5/16 shooting) Kevin Durant ---18 (3/14) Paul Pierce --- 16 Joe Johnson --- 12 (5/13) Deron Williams --- 11 (2/11) Now if this is not top-class defense, I am not sure what is. On top of his lockdown ability, Hill has shown tremendous knack for finding the loose ball, digging out clogged rebounds in crunch time and even spiking a few blocks here and there. All in all, notwithstanding the team’s mediocre display on D, Grant Hill deserves to be commended as one of the league’s elite at his position 如果这不算是无敌大锁的话，那我还真不知道什麽才算是了。不仅是他的超级大锁功力， Hill还同时能够去找到那些没人控制的球，在关键时刻抢下关键篮板，或是在场上的这里 那里跑来跑去来个补防火锅。一切的一切，都足以说明了Hill是这个球队的防守代表，D的 意志就是他。Hill完全值得被称做他这个位置的联盟防守专家。 5. Predictions 预测。 Channing Frye’s injury is a big blow to an otherwise enthralling phase of the season for the Suns, as the team has finally been able to figure out roles, matchups and the significant task of identifying the “ best-five-on-the-floor” factor (by the way, my take on the team’s best five-man unit is Nash-Carter-Hill-Frye-Gortat). Nash has been his usual brilliant self as the opera conductor, Hill and Gortat are providing some bruise-inducing D, the bench is rock-and-rolling again and even Vince Carter is in attendance more than ever! Frye的受伤对於现在太阳队这个关键时刻来说是个非常巨大的损失，尤其是在这支球队 好不容易磨合完成，找出"场上的最佳五人"的时刻。(顺道一提，最佳五人是Nash，VC， Hill，Frye以及锅贴。)Nash一如往常一样是个闪亮的导演，Hill和锅贴提供了稳固的防 守，板凳暴徒们再度热血沸腾了起来，甚至VC，都展现出比以往更旺盛的决心。 Based on all that, my forecast is that the Suns will stay afloat during Frye’ s absence (assuming three weeks here) with a 7-5 record and then push to full throttle with a 6-2 show the rest of the way to finish at 46-36; which, ultimately, will get them the seventh-seed in the West and a first-round ticket to play the Dallas Mavericks. 根据以上的观点，我的预测是太阳在Frye缺阵的期间能够顶得住，(这里假设是三周)，这 段期间内会拿下7胜5败的战绩，而在大师兄归位後更能够一举冲出6胜2败好成绩，最终 会以46胜36败西区第七种子收盘，在第一轮对抗小牛队。 Go Suns! 冲吧 !!! http://bleacherreport.com/articles/631695-suns-rays-part-3-nash-phoenix-a- certain-contender --
