Not a good time for sentimentality By JONATHAN FEIGEN Copyright 2010 Houston Chronicle March 2, 2010, 11:21PM http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/6894360.html 自翻 Kevin Martin feigned ignorance. Martin假装他不在乎. Asked who the Rockets would be facing tonight at Toyota Center, Martin played along. “I don't know,” he said. “I forget.” 问到今晚的对手是谁, Martin说他忘记了, 什麽都不知道. He knew. And in another time or another city (Sacramento), his first game against the Kings since he was traded from Sacramento to Houston would be more meaningful because of the opponent. 他当然知道. 就是国王队. 这是他离开沙加缅度之後第一次对上国王队. Martin, however, said he did not quickly check the schedule after the trade to see when he would face his former team, did not expect any different emotions and was looking forward to the game only for its opportunity to make up ground in the pursuit of a playoff spot. Martin说, 在交易过後他并没有急着想要知道何时能对上老东家. 因为他认为这跟其他的比赛并没有什麽不同. 他只想赢球, 然後打进季後赛. “What we're trying to accomplish here is much more than Kevin and Sacramento, ” Martin said. “We have bigger goals and bigger expectations here. I'm not worried about one game. Treat every team the same.” "球队的目标不单单在於我个人或是国王队而已."Martin说. "我们有很长远的目标. 我一点都不担心." Martin said there would likely be more sentimentality attached if the game were in Sacramento. Instead, he said it will be “just another game.” For the Rockets, however, “just another game” is huge with the Trail Blazers holding a four-game lead on the ninth-place Rockets. Martin说如果这场比赛是在沙加缅度进行, 那或许会更敏感些. Martin认为这不过就是一场比赛而已, 不过对火箭队的战绩而言, 这可是必须要获胜的一场比赛. “I think it will be emotional, but it's not like I'm out trying to get them, not like it's going to be a one-man show,” he said. “I had a great time in Sac. The community took me under (its) wing. I was very blessed to have five great years in Sac. "还是有点感情啦,不过我不会当成是我的个人秀."Martin说. "在沙加缅度我过的很好. 那边的社区跟球迷很照顾我. 在那里呆上五年是很幸运的事情." “I'm playing every team the same. It doesn't matter who we're playing.” "无论对手是谁, 我都是一样的, 没有什麽不同." But the Rockets said it will be “weird.” It was strange from the start, with the team hearing about the trade when their plane touched down after that night's game in Milwaukee. 但是火箭队自己也有些不酥湖. 从交易的消息传开之後就开始了. “It was just weird because simultaneously, all our phones on the table just started vibrating,” Chuck Hayes said. “We all got on the phone, looked at each other and looked at Carl and said our goodbyes.” "很诡异, 在那时候我们的电话就响个不停."Hayes说. "我们都接到了电话, 面面相觑, 然後跟Landry道别." A friendly jab or three Hayes had no doubt, however, they will enjoy saying hello — and a lot more. 毫无疑问地, Hayes会跟老友重逢, 打声招呼. “You might see a few of us giggling or joking around,” Hayes said. “I know one thing; he's not going to be trying to take a charge, because he doesn't want to get his tooth knocked out. "或许你会看到有些球员还是互相开玩笑."Hayes说. "我知道一件事情, Landry应该不会想要故意被撞, 因为他不希望他的牙齿再飞出去了." “Even when he was here, we used to trash talk all the time, always tell him, ‘Carl, if you can score on me, you can score on anybody.' Now he's going to try to do that. And he always used to tell me that I can't hold him.” "我们总是会说些垃圾话来开玩笑, 例如'Landry,如果你可以在我防守之下得分,那麽你在任何人面前都能得分了' 现在他真的有机会试试看了. 他也老是告诉我我是无法守住他的." Landry spent nearly three seasons with the Rockets, averaging 11.2 points and 5.1 rebounds, and was averaging 16.1 points and 5.5 rebounds this season. He averaged 15.8 points and six rebounds in his first five games, all as a starter, with the Kings. Joey Dorsey played in just seven games in his two seasons with the Rockets, averaging 7.7 minutes in those games, roughly the same playing time he has received in four games with the Kings. Landry在火箭队打了将近三个球季, 平均11.2分还有五个篮板球. 他在国王队先发的前五场比赛平均有15.8分跟六篮板. Dorsey在火箭队的两个赛季只打了七场比赛, 平均上场7.7分钟, 在国王队的情况也差不 多. Slowing Landry will be a much greater key for the Rockets. After Landry's sublime December, teams slowed him considerably with double-teams. But the Rockets prefer to double-team in the low post only as a last resort and have had Hayes match up with little or no double-team help against the best low-post scorers from Dwight Howard to Tim Duncan. 如何阻止Landry会是火箭队的重要课题. 过去对手们会尝试用包夹来防守他, 不过火箭队对於低位单打并不把包夹放在第一考量. Hayes会试着对付他, 就像对付Howard跟Duncan一样. All jokes aside ... kind of “(Landry) will try to play great, just like everybody will in this situation, ” Luis Scola said. “But he will probably be laughing and talking. He is such a great character. It's going to be hard to be really, really serious out there. "Landry还是会尽全力比赛, 大家都一样."Scola说. "不过他应该还是会有说有笑, 他是个个性很好的人. 很难跟他认真的较劲起来." “We always had a lot of fun playing and a lot of fun outside of the basketball court. It's going to be fun to see him on the other side. It's going to be weird at the same time.” "无论在场外场内我们都处的很好, 看到他在敌队是很有趣的事情. 但还是会有些怪怪的啦." But more than anything, it will be a game the Rockets believe they need to win, having spent their margin for error. Martin could not pretend to be unsure of that. 不过最重要的是, 火箭队亟需赢下这场比赛, Martin可不能再装做不在乎了. “March is the last month before you head into the playoff month,” he said. “This is the month all the teams gear up.” "三月是季後赛前的白热化阶段."他说. "大家都必须绷紧神经." That is true, he insisted, no matter who they play. 这倒没错, 就像他说的一样, 无论对手是谁都得赢下来. --
