Bringing in Temple a timely transaction By Mike Monroe - Express-News Web Posted: 04/12/2010 12:00 CDT http://tinyurl.com/y4at37p When Collis Temple, a Spur for 24 games in the 1974-75 ABA season, visited Las Vegas for the NBA Summer League tournament last July, he collared anyone who would listen and preached a message straight from a proud father's heart. 去年七月，在1974-75ABA球季中为马刺打了24场球的Collis Temple到了拉斯维加斯的NBA 夏季联盟锦标赛，用一个以儿子为荣的心向每个肯听他说话的球探宣扬他的儿子。 While keeping a close eye on the contract negotiations between the Celtics and Glen “Big Baby” Davis, one of several players he advises, Temple also spread the word about his son. 当他关注於塞尔提克和Big Baby的合约协商时，Collis Temple仍不忘给自己的儿子美言 几句。 Garrett Temple then was an undrafted guard-forward from LSU trying to make an impression on NBA scouts while playing on the Houston Rockets' summer league team. Garrett Temple毕业於LSU，是个未经选秀的锋卫球员。在休士顿火箭的夏季联盟比赛中 尽力表现，祈求获得青睐。 His father was his biggest summertime booster. 他爸爸在夏季时是他最大的强力推进装置。(疑？ “He's one of the best defenders in this whole summer league,” Collis Temple said then. “There's a spot for defenders in the NBA. He can help some team.” 「他是其中一个夏季联盟最好的防守球员。」Collis Temple说，「在NBA里面需要防守人 才，他能对一些球队做出贡献的。」 A Spurs team that won its titles with a defense-first approach signed Temple to a 10-day contract off the roster of the D-League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on March 23, then made it a deal for the remainder of the season when the 10-day expired. 素来以防守着名的马刺在3月23日和发展联盟的Temple签了10天短约，到期後给了他到球 季结束的完整合约。 It is Temple's skill and courage at the offensive end that has taken the Spurs' coaches somewhat by surprise. After the rookie made 3 of 4 on 3-point shots and scored 11 points in Saturday's win at the Nuggets, head coach Gregg Popovich pointed to Temple's line on the box score and said, “We may have found one.” 在进攻端Temple的技巧和胆识不禁使马刺教练感到惊奇。星期六对金块的胜利中，这位菜 鸟球员三分球投4中3，得了11分。总教练Popovich在赛後数据表上指着Temple的栏位说： 「我们找到了一位可用之兵。」 Indeed, Temple has been a timely find since second-year combo guard George Hill suffered a strained peroneal tendon in his right ankle in the Spurs' victory over the Lakers on April 4. Thrown into the starting lineup while All-NBA point guard Tony Parker eased his way back into a rhythm after missing a month with a broken bone in his right hand, Temple has made 15 of 29 shots, 7 of 13 from 3-point range, and averaged 11.3 points in four games as the Spurs' starting point guard. 的确如此，二年级双能卫George Hill在4月4日打败湖人那场比赛中，扭伤了右脚踝的腓 骨肌腱後，Temple适时地顶上了这个角色。在全明星控卫Tony Parker右手伤癒复出，找 回节奏前，Temple衬职地顶住了先发的阵容。作为马刺先发後卫的四场比赛中，他投29中 15，三分球投13中7，平均得了11.3分。 Temple isn't sure how long his stint as a temporary starter will last. Parker played nearly 31 minutes in Saturday's big victory and may be back in the stating lineup soon, perhaps as early as tonight's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the AT&T Center. Temple不能确定他短期先发控卫的角色何时会结束，Parker在星期六对金块打了将近31分 钟，很快就会重回先发阵容了，也许就是今晚主场对上明尼苏达灰狼队的这场比赛。 Until Hill returns from his ankle problem, though, Temple knows he will be in the guard rotation. He hopes his work has earned him consideration for playing time during the playoffs. 在Hill右脚踝的伤势复原前，Temple知道他会在後卫的轮值名单内。希望他的表现能让他 有机会在季後赛上场。 --
