Double-digit deficits are no problem for 2013-14 Phoenix Suns Many NBA teams might seem finished when they fall behind by double digits. 大多数的NBA比赛当中落後达二位数比分时，一般来说都会宣告比赛结果，进入垃圾时间。 For the Suns at home, they often are just beginning. 但对太阳队来说，这才是比赛的开始。 With the way the Suns play and how their comeback confidence built early in the season, they are never rattled by a dangerous deficit and never short on fearless fortitude that they can rally. 太阳队总是不放弃赢球的任何可能，不会因为大幅落後而放弃了翻盘的机会，无畏而坚毅 地团结起来。 When the Suns came back from a 16-point, third-quarter hole to beat Oklahoma City on Thursday night, it marked their eighth home victory in which they had trailed by double digits. They have done that twice on the road, although their resilience nearly brought them from 18 down at Detroit, 14 down at New York and 18 down at Houston before losing each of those games by three points or fewer. 在星期四晚上对上雷霆队的比赛，第三节时太阳落後达16分，而这场若拿下即为他们的第 八场主场胜利当中，他们已经输了两位数以上的分数。而一样的状况，太阳队过去客场对 上活塞、尼克、火箭，也曾落後达18、14、18分，虽然太阳皆落败，但仍可以追到三分以 内。 “These guys have done that all year,” Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said. “We get down and they keep playing. Sometimes, somebody gets hot like Gerald (Green), like he did (with a career-high 41 points Thursday), and you get right back in the game and the momentum shifts to us. The guys all picked it up.” 「这些家伙都做到了」总教练Hornacek说：「情势对我们不利，但他们仍持续奋战不懈。 像是Gerald Green，他在星期四的比赛中得到了生涯新高41分，最终使比赛的气势成功地 对我们有利，这些家做到了。」 The Suns can catch up in a hurry when they play aggressively with their league-leading fast-break offense and a capability to get on a 3-point shooting tear. The Suns make the third most 3-pointers in the league with 9.4 per game and connected on 15 on Thursday night. 太阳队拥有联盟顶尖的快攻攻势和三分弹雨。太阳队平均每场比赛可以砍下9.4颗三分弹 ，排行联盟第三。而在对雷霆的比赛当中，他们则投进了15颗三分球。 Green made six (tied a franchise record) in his 25-point third quarter (one shy of a franchise record). G.Green在第三节的25分单节得分当中，就包含着六颗三分球。 “That just lifts the whole team,” Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant said. 「这鼓舞了他们整支球队。」KD说。 “NBA players are tough to stop once they are rolling,” Hornacek said. “That ’s what happens to Gerald. The thing that makes him unique. Some guys you can get up into and challenge a shot a little harder. Well, Gerald just jumps over the top of everybody and shoots it. These guys are playing good defense. ” 「一旦手感发烫，就难以阻挡了，这就是NBA球员，」Hornacek继续说「而G.Green当时就 是这样，他当时已经是一夫当关、万夫莫敌。防守他的球员已经让他难以出手了。但 Green就只是发挥他的体能，跳投，然後命中。不得不说对手其实已经做足了防守。」 Twin power The Morris twins are so close that they deserve a joint career-high notation. Morris兄弟则展现出了他们联手的优质表现。 In each of the past two wins, Marcus and Markieff Morris have combined for 39 points off the bench (vs. Oklahoma City on Thursday and Atlanta on Sunday). That matched their best combined scoring game, set twice this season against Denver. 他们在对抗金块队、雷霆队和老鹰队的比赛当中从板凳出发，都一共拿下了39分。 The twins each have scored at least 15 points in the past three wins. 他们在过去的三场胜利当中，都联手拿下只少15分。 “They were post-up guys in college,” Hornacek said. “We have them shoot some 3s but we really like them coming off the bench and getting in the post. They have great moves inside. If they have a size advantage, they can back a guy in and take a turnaround. Markieff realized that they (the Thunder) were (crowding) him so he went quickly. Those are smart post-up moves by him.” 对此，Hornacek说：「他们在大学时代都是擅长低位单打的球员，但是他们现在的攻击范 围已经可以拉到三分线外。而我们真得需要他们所带来的板凳战力。他们也具有良好的禁 区步伐。如果他们对上的球员是明显弱於自己的身材，他们就会往里面打。Markieff看出 来雷霆队的防守阵型缺点，所以他以快速的移动应战。这是非常聪明的方法。」 Free throws When Green missed one of three free throws late in the third quarter, it left him one point shy of Stephon Marbury’s franchise record of 26 points in a quarter. It also ended Green’s string of 29 consecutive made free throws. He has moved into the league’s top 20 free-throw shooters, converting a career-high 85.2 percent to tie for 19th. The team is at 75.8 percent, which ranks 15th. Green投丢了一颗罚球使他无法追上Stephon Marbury单节26分的纪录，这同时也终止了 Green连续29颗罚球命中的纪录。他已经是联盟当中前20名的罚球好手，他本季的罚球命 中率是85.2%，排行联盟第19，同时也是生涯新高。而太阳队全队则是75.8%，排行联盟第 15。 — For the second time in five games, the smallest Suns player, 6-foot guard Ish Smith, grabbed a career-high eight rebounds Thursday night. Oklahoma City was ranked eighth in rebounding but the Suns outrebounded the Thunder 44-33. 在同一场比赛，全太阳队最矮的球员，6尺的I.Smith，抓下了生涯新高的8篮板，这是他 进五场比赛当中的第二次。虽然雷霆队是全联盟篮板排行第8名的球队，但在这场比赛当 中，他们却输了11个篮板（Suns : Thunder ＝ 44：33） — The Suns went 224 games without a 40-point scorer after Amar’e Stoudemire scored 44 on March 19, 2010. Goran Dragic (40 on Feb. 28) and Green did it six days apart. 太阳已经有224场比赛没有人得分超过40分，上一次的纪录要追溯到2010年3月19日由 Aamre砍下44分。不过最近这六天就有G.Dragic和G.Green达成这项记录。 — On TNT’s “Inside the NBA,” analyst Charles Barkley touted Green as Most Improved Player and Hornacek as Coach of the Year on Thursday night but also predicted that the Suns would not make the playoffs. 在TNT的「Inside the NBA」节目当中，前太阳队明星球员Barkley预测Green将会是最佳 进步奖得主、而Hornacek则是年度最佳教练，不过他也认为太阳队没有办法打进季後赛。 He added, “If I’m at the top of the Western Conference, I would rather play Phoenix than Memphis. Phoenix is a jump-shooting team. You can play defense against jump shooters, but when you’ve got big (Memphis center Marc) Gasol and (Memphis power forward Zach) Randolph down there … they’re a handful for anybody.” 巴爵士补充：「如果我是西区第一种子的球员，我宁愿对上太阳也不要打灰熊。现在的太 阳队是一支跳投大队。你可以守住射手，但你绝对拿大个子没辄，像是M.Gasol跟 Z.Randolph这样的禁区组合，他们是现在联盟少有的。」 我的第三篇翻译～～希望可以有进步T_T 资料来源：http://ppt.cc/ING3 --
