Utah Jazz: Team looking to play role of coronation crashers 新‧婚礼终结者？！ By Jody Genessy Deseret News Not too long ago, Hollywood produced a movie about wedding crashers. Tonight, the Utah Jazz hope to help inspire a sequel of sorts. 前不久，好莱坞出了部电影叫『婚礼终结者』， 现在，阿爵期盼他们也能如法炮制一番。 They could call it "The Coronation Crashers." 只是他们的名字应该改成"加冕典礼终结者"。 While publicly they agree Kobe Bryant deserves the NBA's MVP trophy he will receive from commissioner David Stern before Game 2 tonight, the Jazz would love nothing more than to crash his award party. 虽然对於联盟将MVP颁给Kobe这件事没啥意见， 但他们可不想让第二战成为Kobe的庆功派对。 That, however, probably isn't a script moviemakers attending the 8:30 p.m. Jazz-Los Angeles Lakers game would like. 当然啦，湖人主场的观众也不希望这个派对被搞砸。 "First, congrats to Kobe, he's well-deserving. He's been the best player in the game for ... years. Now he has the MVP trophy to go along with it," said Jazz forward Carlos Boozer at Tuesday's practice at the Zions Bank Basketball Center. "We still want to go out there and spoil their party by taking a win." 「首先要恭喜Kobe，因为～你值得。」布瑟练球时说道， 「好些年来他一直是联盟最好的球员，现在又有奖座加持，」 「不过下一场我们还是想当个搅局者，不让他们称心如意。」 Don't mind Jazz coach Jerry Sloan if he doesn't get too caught up in the hype and hoopla. 别因为教皇对这件事的木然而感到意外。 "That stuff doesn't excite me," Sloan said. "We don't have to play against an award. We have to play against him." 「听到这些消息没啥好激动的，」教皇说， 「你又不是跟那座奖盃打球！想想怎麽面对他卡实际吧。」 The Jazz coach, who watched Karl Malone receive the award twice in the late 1990s, isn't sure the awards ceremony will give Bryant any extra motivation to play harder, either. 九零年代就已经看队上老马拿过两次MVP的教皇， 并不觉得一座奖盃能为Kobe带来更火热的动力。 "Every time I see him play, he plays like he's obsessed most of the time anyway," Sloan said. "So I don't know if he can get more fired up or not." Sloan is sure the MVP-chanting Staples Center fans, whom he calls "a pretty noisy crowd," will get into it. The Jazz just can't get caught up in the emotion. 「Kobe对篮球的狂热只要看他打球就知道啦，」龙哥说， 「所以我不知道这奖座还能不能火上再添油。」 不过龙哥相信湖人主场的观众将会因此事更加大肆喧闹， 阿爵所能做的就是不要随他们的情绪起舞。 "If we're going to worry about those things, we better stay at home," Sloan said. 「假如会被牵着鼻子走的话，那还不如待在家算了。」 Jazz point guard Deron Williams said the official MVP announcement doesn't change a thing. 蝶龙说MVP尘埃落定并不会改变任何事。 "The crowd's going to be there regardless, and Kobe's going to do what Kobe does regardless. We just got to worry about us," he said. "We knew he was MVP last game. We want to stop him regardless, MVP or not, because he's their best player, their go-to guy. 「你还是得面对湖人主场的观众、面对Kobe，」 「我们光是担心自己就够受的了...」 「今天不管他是不是MVP，我们都得想办法阻挡他，」 「擒贼先擒王哪～」 "I'm very happy for him. I think he deserves it. After that, (we'll) try to beat him." 「我为他高兴，他值得这个奖的肯定，」小胖说， 「但是赢球还是比较重要。」 This is the first MVP award for Bryant, who averaged 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.8 steals for the West's best team. 自己看。 WORKING PLANS 计画赶不上变化 Sloan was asked Tuesday if the Jazz have special plans to slow down the MVP who carried the Lakers in their Game 1 victory. 教皇被问到有没有什麽特殊计画好阻止Kobe飞天遁地。 "Yeah, we had plans the last time," Sloan said. "Sometimes he breaks all your plans." 「有啊，我们上次就有计画啊，」教皇说， 「只是都被他破坏殆尽啦～」 Sloan emphasized that the Jazz must make Bryant sweat more and keep him away from the free-throw line. Of Bryant's 38 points, 21 came from his 23 attempts at the charity stripe. 龙哥强调阿爵必须想办法让Kobe流更多汗， 并且少让他轻轻松松就站上罚球线。 "You work him," Sloan said. "If you don't work him ... he's going to be fresh at the end of the ballgame." 「一定要搞得他香汗淋漓啊，」龙哥说， 「让他到比赛尾声还精力十足万万不可。」 RIM SHOTS: Despite his recent shooting woes, Jazz teammates aren't going to start playing keep-away-from-Carlos-Boozer. 参见前篇外电『爵BOO放弃』 "He's struggled a little bit, but he's still playing hard," Williams said. "His shots will come, they'll start falling. We just gotta keep going to him." After shooting 54.7 percent and averaging 21.1 points in the regular season, Boozer is shooting only 42.9 percent and scoring 15.9 points in the playoffs, including a 6-for-14 outing in Game 1 against the Lakers. "I've just got to knock it in (and) be more confident in my jumpshot," Boozer said. "I've struggled a little bit with my shot in the playoffs, and I'm aware of that, but I'm also aware that I'm playing really good basketball. I'm just not making my jumpshots ... I'm just more anxious." A tactic that might help, Williams said, is pushing Boozer the ball inside and then having him quickly attack the defense before it can set up. "That's when he's effective," Williams said. "So we're going to try to get him in those situations and let him work." MILES HOMECOMING? 发达之路？！ The Dallas Morning News listed free-agent-to-be C.J. Miles as a possible good offseason pickup for the Mavericks. The idea was news to the Jazz backup, who was drafted by Utah out of Dallas' Skyline High three years ago. Still, he acted a little intrigued. 达拉斯当地媒体列出了下季应网罗的自由球员建议名单， 三年前从达拉斯天线高校被阿爵选中的西街赫然在列。 第一次听到这传闻的西街显然相当有兴趣。 "I think it's against the rules anyway for me to even talk to another team while I'm playing," he said. "It's great to know, though, because it's my hometown. We'll see what happens." 「战时讨论这些应该会违反规定吧，」西街喜上眉梢， 「但是是个好消息呀，因为那正好是我的老家。」 「癞痢米乐，这下子我们有得谈啦...」 One intriguing aspect of playing in Dallas for Miles is that next year will be his brother's senior season of high school hoops. Mostly, he said he'd like more playing time and chances to contribute — in Utah, Dallas or wherever. The 21-year-old hasn't complained, but he's played only 11 minutes in four of seven Jazz playoff games. The 6-foot-6 shooting guard averaged 11.5 minutes and 5.0 points during the regular season. 待在达拉斯的另一个诱因是可以去看他念高中的弟弟打球， 但不管身在何方，西街最想要的是更多的上场时间与贡献。 这名廿一岁的年轻人虽然从未出声抱怨， 但七场已经进行的季後赛他只上了其中四场，总计十一分钟。 而六尺六的他在例行赛时平均有十一分钟半的上场时间与五分的贡献。 --
