＊我觉得翻得不是很好，大家多多指正啊～ http://tinyurl.com/4mz6m6e Thabo Sefolosha's defensive play has made an impression on Kendrick Perkins Kendrick Perkins stood all alone as the last player remaining inside the Thunder's locker room following Wednesday night's win against Utah. 与爵士比赛结束後，Perk独自留在空无一人的休息室里。 After answering a steady stream of questions by two lingering reporters, Perkins was free to go home. Free to rest his bones after battling Jazz bruiser Al Jefferson for the better part of 26 minutes. But, as he pushed in his black swivel-style chair, Perkins voluntarily offered up one last bit of insight just before calling it a night. 在他回答完两名执拗异常的记者的一连串问题之後，他终於可以回家了。在与爵士的禁区悍 将Al Jefferson对抗26分钟後，应该要好好保养他的筋骨。不过，当他移开他的黑色旋转椅 後，Perk又主动告诉我们他的最後一点感想，再结束这个夜晚。 “Tha-bo is my new fav-o-rite de-fen-der,” Perkins announced, elongating each syllable in his South Texas twang for maximum effect. Perk拉长每一个音节，放大音量用他的南德州鼻音宣布：「Tha~bo~现~在~是~我最~~~~~爱 的~防~守~球~员~了~」 Five games are all it took for Perkins to realize what suffocating defense Thabo Sefolosha is capable of. 经过五场比赛之後，Perk体会到Thabo的防守是多麽令人窒息。 “You tend to take guys like Thabo for granted until you're out there on the court,” Perkins said. Perk说：「大家往往会忽视像Thabo这样的球员，直到亲自面对为止。」 What Perkins has seen in Sefolosha is a perpetual pest, a player who disrupts opposing offenses using skill and savvy, toughness and tenacity. Wednesday's effort by Sefolosha served as the last shred of evidence Perkins needed to see. Perk发现Thabo是个让对手很困扰的球员，利用技巧与头脑扰乱对手的进攻，他既强悍，又 坚韧。对爵士的比赛中，Thabo发挥出来的作用，让Perk终於能够百分百肯定了。 In the 106-94 win over the Jazz, Sefolosha helped hold Utah wing players C.J. Miles and Gordon Hayward to a combined 18 points on 3-for-22 shooting. Additionally, Sefolosha supplied adequate help for Perkins on Jefferson, who still managed to bully his way to a game-high 32 points with 12 rebounds. But Sefolosha's smarts and game-changing defensive style had stood out once and for all to Perkins. 之前以106-94击败爵士的比赛中，Thabo让C.J Miles与Gordon Hayward两个加起来只缴出了 18分，22投3中，另外Thabo还适时帮Perk包夹Al Jefferson--虽然还是让他得了32分12篮板 。但Thabo聪明又足以改变比赛的防守风格已经彻底地让Perk大开眼界。 Keep in mind Wednesday's effort by Sefolosha came on the heels of him helping to hold Charlotte swingman Stephen Jackson to 18 points on 5-for-18 shooting in a 99-82 win last Friday, as well as a stifling performance that helped limit Dwyane Wade to 21 points on 7-for-21 shooting in a surprising 96-85 road win at Miami on March 16. 除了昨天那场以外，别忘记之前发生的事。对山猫：Stephen Jackson投18中5，得18分，雷 霆赢球；对热火：Dwyane Wade投21中7，得21分，雷霆也赢球。这都得归功於Thabo。 “Since I've been playing with him, I've noticed what he brings,” Perkins said. “He takes a lot of pressure off his teammates. That's key when you got a guy like that who you don't have to help as much on. And he's guarding the best wing man every night. That's also taking a lot of pressure off (Kevin Durant).” Perk：「自从我跟他同一队，我就注意到他带来的贡献。他帮队友减轻许多压力，因为他不 需要太多的帮忙，这是重点。而且他每场比赛面对的都是对手最强的摇摆人，这让KD(防守 上的)压力也减轻不少。」 If anybody knows defense it's Perkins. Before joining the Thunder, Perkins was one of the linchpins of a defense in Boston that ranked in the top five in points allowed per game the past three seasons while leading the league in defensive field-goal percentage in two of the past three years. 如果要找个了解防守的人，那无疑是Perk。在加入雷霆之前，Perk是C's的防守支柱之一。 C's在前三个球季的单场平均失分都维持在联盟前五低，而且C's在过去三个球季中，有两 个球季对手的平均命中率是联盟最低，Perk无疑是功臣之一。 “I definitely appreciate that,” Sefolosha said when informed about Perkins' praise. “It's a nice compliment.” Thabo知道Perk这麽夸奖他後表示：「我非常感激他这麽说，这是很棒的赞美。」 Perkins compared Sefolosha to a more athletic Bruce Bowen, whose dogged defense helped San Antonio secure three championships in 2003, 2005 and 2007. Sefolosha, who also can take a fair amount of credit for holding Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant to 17 points on 8-for-22 shooting this season, said his most significant weapon is being aware of what the opposing team is trying to run and taking away that option. Perk认为Thabo是更具活动力的马刺防守高手Bruce Bowen。之前雷霆对战湖人，Thabo的防 守对於Kobe投22只中8，17分的表现，造成了一定的影响。Thabo说他最重要的武器就是知道 对手想要作什麽，并且阻止他们继续作下去。 Sefolosha will stick his nose in the passing lane. Body up on the block. Chase his man across the court and fight through screens relentlessly. Anything to disrupt a team's set. He wants to make players make tough passes and make his man take tough shots. Thabo专注於截断传球路线，伸展身体封阻，全场追逐他的对手与不屈不挠的与对方的掩护 战斗，总之就是任何扰乱对手进攻的行为。他要让每个对手都很难传球，让每个对手都不能 舒服的投球。 Sefolosha prides himself on doing his work early. That means he'll rather deny his man the ball instead of allowing him to catch it and have to rely on defending a deadly offensive player. Or, rather than letting a Wade or Bryant start their attack from a sweet spot, Sefolosha aims to play physical and force them to catch the ball from just beyond their comfort zones. Thabo很早就对於他的工作很自豪。这代表他会选择让对手拿不到球，而不是自己拿球，他 必须用防守来与致命的攻击球员抗衡。比起让Wade、Kobe轻松进攻，Thabo宁愿专注於用体 能与力量，让对手无法在他们想要的地方投篮。 What Perkins admires most about Sefolosha, though, is how he supplies defense effectively without needing much for himself. 虽然Perk防守上并不需要太多他的帮忙，Perk还是对他赞赏有加。 “He's a guy who brings value to the court without it really showing up in the stat sheet,” Perkins said. “He's a huge part of why we're a great defensive team.” Perk说：「Thabo的贡献是你从数据上看不出来的。为何我们防守这麽好？他的贡献是很大 一部份原因。」 Imagine what Perkins might have thought of Sefolosha had he seen him last season, before a January knee injury derailed his defensive dominance. That setback, much like Sefolosha's overall impact, has been largely overlooked all year when evaluating Sefolosha. 想像一下，Perk，在他一月因膝盖伤势降低他的防守优势之前，对上一季的Thabo是怎样的 想法。当评估Thabo时，他发挥的影响力多半被忽略。而Perk所遭遇到的挫折也一样。 Except by those who have paid attention. 除了那些一直持续关心的人之外。 “He plays through everything,” said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. “When you're guarding the best players, you're fighting through screen after screen after screen. You're getting bumped and Charley horses. You're getting back-picked. You're getting multiple picks, and big guys are setting them. Brooks说：「他每件事都拼到底。当防守对方的最佳球员时，你必须要突破一个接一个的掩 护.你会遭遇越来越多碰撞与抽筋，你会遭遇越来越多的back-pick，你会遭遇越来越多的大 个子的掩护。」 “He plays every game like his body is feeling great. The toughness he brings to our team, it's hard not to appreciate.” 「而他每场比赛都让人觉得他身体毫无负担。他贡献给我们的强硬，我们不能不感激。」 -- 哲学的义务，是去除因误解而生的幻想。 --
