Phoenix Suns cool off Utah Jazz, win second-straight game 太阳击败爵士拿下二连胜。 After seven consecutive losses, any sort of triumph would have felt good to the Suns. 在七连败後，不管怎麽赢的感觉就是爽。 What the Suns did Wednesday and Friday night went far beyond that, beating two of the better teams in the West with steady efforts unseen for nearly all of this season. There are no takebacks for the regrettable losses to bad teams such as Detroit, Toronto and Orlando, but beating Memphis and Utah is a start to taking back their season. 在周三跟周五晚上的两场比赛，太阳拿出本季少有的坚强实力， 击败西区前段的两支球队。虽然不幸输给活塞暴龙跟魔术这些球队， 但是这两场连续击败灰熊跟爵士让太阳本季开始步入正轨。 The Suns have their first winning streak since Nov.21-23 by following the Memphis upset with a 99-84 thumping of Utah on Friday night at US Airways Center. 太阳继11月21.23日之後首次拿下连胜。 The Suns (9-15) ended Utah’s four-game winning streak and won for a second consecutive time against a team with a winning record after not beating any such team previously this season. A chance to climb back toward .500 is ahead with a pair of 7-15 teams, Sacramento and Charlotte, visiting Phoenix next. 太阳中止了爵士的四连胜，也是本季首次连续两次击败之前没赢的球队， 接下来我们有机会朝五成胜率迈进，因为接下来会遇到国王跟山猫。 “Everybody’s excited knowing how good we can play,” Suns small forward P.J. Tucker said. “We’ve beaten really good teams, and we’ve got to keep it going. 塔克说大家都很高兴我们能够打得这个好，我们击败了很好的队伍， 所以我们必须继续保持下去。 “It takes time for us to build our chemistry. Our rotation now is starting to get more solid. Everybody knows when they’re going to come in, how they’re going to play and what needs to happen when they get in.” 我们需要一点时间产生化学效应，我们现在的轮值开始变得稳定，大家都 知道到自己何时该上场，上场後该做些甚麽。 Utah, 4-10 on the road and 13-11 overall this season, looked more like the road version in shooting 40.2 percent with 16 turnovers against the Suns, who ran off to their biggest halftime lead of the season (56-42) with 15 fast-break points in the half. 爵士本季客场战绩四胜十负，总计十三胜十一负。(主场九胜一负!!!!) 相对於爵士一如以往的客场表现40.2%的命中率以及16次的失误，太阳 在上半场靠着15分的快攻得分，取得开季以来半场最大的领先差距 56-42分的领先。 Goran Dragic, getting back to full strength after a weekend flu bout, pushed tempo on misses and makes, but the tempo was easier to come by without pulling the ball out of the net as much as they did during the losing streak. 抓鸡鸡健康的回来控制全队的进攻节奏，但是现在比之前连败时候常 投不进的节奏掌控起来容易多了。 The Suns gave up 49 percent shooting and 106.3 points per game during the seven-game losing streak but held Memphis and Utah to 42.6 percent shooting and an average of 82.0 points. After giving up a 38-point, 22-rebound game to Zach Randolph and a 27-point, 14-rebound game to Al Jefferson this season, the Suns kept Randolph to 18 points and 10 rebounds Wednesday and Jefferson to 14 points and 11 rebounds Friday. 在七连败的过程中，对手的命中率高达四成九每场能得106.3分，但是 这两场让灰熊跟爵士只有四成二的命中率跟平均82分的得分；软豆腐 之前有38分22板而大AL则有27分14板的生猛表现，但这两场被锁到只有 18分10板以及14分11板的正常表现。 “Utah is my little nightmare, so I’m happy I had a good game and played at a high level,” said Gortat, who outrebounded Jefferson with a 12-point, 14-rebound game. “I’ve been lifting (weights) a lot recently. I feel stronger and more energetic. I was able to run and bang with these guys. 锅贴说爵士是他的梦靥，所以他很高兴他打得不错，而且有12分14板的 好表现。我最近增加了一些重量，让我感觉更加强壮也更有力量，我能 够跑也能够这些人对抗。 “With all respect for Al, but in the course of 48 minutes, he’s not going to be able to keep up with me. I’ve got more athleticism and more energy.” 虽然我很尊敬BIG AL，但是在全场的48分钟他不可能一直跟我对抗，因 为我的运动力变好也更有能量。 The Suns largely did not double-team but were active with nine steals and blocks. 太阳大部分时间都不进行包夹防守，但是还是有九抄截九火锅的表现。 “That’s how we have to play to be successful,” Suns small forward Jared Dudley said. “We have to be aggressive. We have to scrap. You start pressing (during a losing streak). You start arguing more and then your defense slips. It was good to come back here and have those two practices and get back to the basics and what we need to do.” 达利表示这是我们获胜的方式，我们需要更积极；当你处於连败时，你 开始感到压力，你开始抱怨然後你的防守就变成纸糊的。很高兴我们有 两次的练习也让我们回到正轨，这是我们应该做的。 (看来这几天休息空档的练习起了很大的作用 GJ!!!) Dudley has played two brilliant all-around games in the wins, getting a season-high 22 points Friday night with five assists, four rebounds and three steals. 达利这两场都展现全能的身手，周五晚上拿下本季新高的22分外带5助攻 4篮板3抄截。 The Suns held consecutive opponents to fewer than 90 points for the first time since the season’s first two games. 我们在继开季前两场之後再度让连两场的对手得分低於90分。 “I don’t think their defense is that great, to be honest with you,” Millsap said. “I feel like we didn’t execute as well as we’re supposed to. We had some open looks that didn’t go down, and our offense was real stagnant.” 米尔塞普：老实说我不认为他们的防守有那麽好 啧啧~~ 我觉得是我们没 有没有做好，我们有些空档只是没投进，还有我们的进攻不流畅。 Report Key player: 关键球员 Suns small forward Jared Dudley had another strong all-around game — a season-high 22 points with five assists, four rebounds and three steals. 小前锋达利又一场全面的表现22分5助攻4篮板3抄截 Key moment: 关键时刻 When Utah cut the deficit to 79-72, the Suns went on a 12-2 run sparked by a Dudley follow and P.J. Tucker’s defense. 当爵士把差距拉近到79比72时，太阳打出一波12比2的攻势，靠得是达利 的跟进以及塔克的防守。 Key number: 关键数字 19 The Suns’ fast-break points. Utah, which averages 17, had seven. 太阳本场靠着快攻拿下19分，爵士季平均能有17分但是今晚只有7分。 Why the Suns won: 太阳赢球的原因 The Suns had to match the physical way Utah plays to beat the Jazz. That meant controlling the Jazz’s offensive rebounds and points in the paint while keeping the Jazz off the free-throw line. The Suns were beaten in second-chance points by six, but Marcin Gortat outrebounded Al Jefferson 14-12. The Suns outscored Utah by two at the free-throw line and by six for points in the paint. Playing Utah even at its game was a big boost, especially on a night when the Suns finally showed some shooting eye from long distance, going 6 for 13 and showing more prudence in taking them. 太阳要打败爵士就必须跟对方做身体对抗，这也是爵士的球风，这代表必须控 制爵士的进攻篮板、禁区以及避免让他们站上罚球线。太阳的第二波进攻得分 只有六分输给了爵士，但是锅贴抢了14板比BIG AL多了两个。而太阳在罚球线 也比对方多罚进两分，禁区得分更多了六分。这场比赛我们的三分外线全场13 投6中有了很大的进步，不仅准度变好出手也更为合理。 View from press row: 场边记者看法 After he finished the Memphis win Wednesday night with the game-winning shot, Goran Dragic was talked about as a leader in the locker room by teammates. It is a role his personality can’t immediately inherit, but it can happen as the man with the ball most of the time and the team’s leader in points, assists and steals. Coach Alvin Gentry chided him for not getting the ball from Michael Beasley once Friday night.On the next two trips, Dragic had determined drives. 在绝杀灰熊之後，抓鸡鸡在更衣室被队友讨论到当队长的事。虽然这个角色以 他的个性不能够马上适应，但是对於一位控球时间最多，得分、助攻及抄截都 是全队最多的球员来说，这是可能发生的。在周五晚上有次抓鸡鸡不跟小毕要 球被简崔教练谯了一顿後，他在接下来的两波进攻中，他完成两次关键的切入。 小毕：不只乡民不相信我，现在连教练都......(泪 --
