原文出处： http://0rz.net/890W1 -- MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Little by little, thanks to his professional attitude and consistent production, Carlos Delfino's minutes on the court have increased. 田纳西州孟斐斯报导 -- 渐渐地因为他的敬业态度以及从不间断的付出，C.Delfino的 上场时间已经在增加当中。 Finding time for the backup small forward is difficult considering how well Pistons starters Tayshaun Prince and Richard Hamilton have played. Factor in a brutal march of defensive assignments at small forward -- Paul Pierce, Tracy McGrady, Carmelo Anthony, to name a few biggies -- and it's easy to see why coach Flip Saunders felt more comfortable keeping Prince, an excellent defensive stopper, in games for long stretches. 想一想先发的小王子和RIP表现有多好就知道在活塞队，替补小前锋要争取到上场时间 有多困难。因为在小前锋这位置必须面对的防守对象都是相当棘手的 -- P.Pierce、T.Mac 、Melo...等鼎鼎大名的杀手级人物 -- 显而易见地为什麽教练F.Saunders让小王子待在场 上久一点他会比较安心，因为小王子是一个完美的防守大锁。 But Delfino didn't grumble. Instead, he played well in practices, stayed late for extra work and used the game minutes he did receive to make an impact. 但Delfino没发牢骚，反而在练习时表现更优异，结束後还留下做额外的自主训练，并 在有限的上场时间内尽力发挥，让大家感受到他给球赛带来的冲击。 That attitude now seems second nature to Delfino, who complained at times last season about his lack of playing time for coach Larry Brown. 现在的Delfino和上一季在前教练L.Brown执教下因缺乏时间而大肆批评的那个Delfino 判若两人。 "I have waited almost the last three years of my career," said Delfino, who spent large chunks of his rookie season recovering from knee surgeries, "so I need to be quiet and patient and take care of my game." 菜鸟球季大部分时间都花在膝盖手术复健的Delfino说"我职业生涯的过去3年大部分的 时间我都在等待，所以我需要更平静更有耐性来面对球赛。" After playing little early this season, Delfino averaged 20 minutes in victories over Chicago and Charlotte last weekend. His upward tick really started at Los Angeles, where Delfino played 16 minutes against the Clippers in what was a close game until the fourth quarter. He used that time well, shooting 50% from the field and scoring nine points. 结束了季初上场时间甚少的时期，Delfino在球队上周末击败芝加哥公牛和夏洛特山猫 的比赛平均上场20分钟。从对上洛杉矶快艇那场比赛开始可以看出他上场时间上场时间有 增加的迹象，那场直到第四节还杀得难分难解的比赛Delfino上场16分钟，且充分利用时间 ，以50%投篮命中率拿下9分帮助球队获胜。 But his contributions also have come in surprising ways -- with rebounds, defense and assists, not just points. He had four rebounds in each of the two games last weekend and five assists against the Bulls. His playing time fell to 9:44 in the 106-104 victory in double overtime Monday night, but he still had four points, a rebound and a blocked shot. 但他同时还能有令人意外的贡献 -- 篮板、防守以及助攻，而不只是得分。他上周末2 场比赛各有抓下4个篮板并在对上公牛那场比赛传出5次助攻。他的上场时间在礼拜一晚上 那场经过2次延长才以106比104辛苦打败灰熊的比赛中减少到只剩9分44秒，但他依然有4分 ，篮板、阻攻各1的表现。 "He has those big mitts," Saunders said. "He can go get it. When he gets his hands on it, he doesn't lose it too much." Saunders说"他手很大，能抓住球。当他手抓着球，掉球的机会不会太大。" Should Delfino continue contributing in the less glamorous areas of defense and rebounding, he likely will keep getting minutes, said Saunders, whose confidence in the Argentinian has soared. 对於这位上升中的阿根廷新星具有高度信心的Saunders表示， "I think now what's happened is, he's played well, he's responded well, his confidence grows, and my confidence grows in him," Saunders said. "And with that comes the ability to put him in situations and get TP a little more rest and let him go against some of those main guys." Saunders说"我想现在的问题在於他打得很好，反应很好，自信心在成长且我对他越来 越有信心。而因为他展现出来的能力足以让我们放心把他摆在场上去应付那些敌队的主力 球员，也能让小王子有多一些时间休息。" -- HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS: Nothing like being home for the Yuletide season, especially for the Pistons. 在家度假：没有什麽比圣诞季节能在主场出赛更让人开心的了，尤其对长期在外征战 的活塞队而言。 Detroit opened the season with 12 of 18 games (and 13 of 21) on the road. 底特律活塞开季18场比赛有12场在客场出赛(21场比赛有13场客场比赛)。 But the Pistons play their next five at home. After a quick New Year's Eve trip to Cleveland, they come home again for three more at the Palace, where they have yet to score fewer than 100 points. 不过活塞接下来连续5场比赛都在主场进行，在新年前夕至克里夫兰的短暂客场出赛後 他们也会再回到奥本山宫殿打3场比赛。(他们本季在主场出赛单场得分未曾低於100分) --
