http://0rz.tw/P2i3J For Paul Westphal, it's a sign his regime is making progress. 西佛受到肯定 The Kings announced Monday the team would pick up the option on Westphal's contract for the 2011-12 season. 國王宣布執行西佛的2011-12球季的合約 Westphal signed a two-year deal with a team option for a third season. The first two seasons were to pay Westphal base salaries of $1.5 million, with the third-year salary at $2 million. 西佛今年初跟國王簽約內容是這樣的 三年的合約 前兩年保障約可領1.5 million 第三年如果球隊執行的話可領2 million The Kings have won 25 games, an eight-game improvement over last season. 國王本季贏了25場,比去年進步了八勝 "It's been a combination of ownership, management, players and coaches being on the same page and trying to bring this franchise back to where everybody would like to see it be," Westphal said. "It's a process that takes time, and there's steps. I think that it's nice to feel that everybody is on the same page going forward and on the basis that we're doing this with confidence. That's what this move says to me." 西佛說國王現在 老闆 管理階層 教練團 球員 上下一條心的感覺 讓他非常喜歡 Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie agreed with Westphal's assessment in a statement announcing the decision. Petrie給予西佛肯定 "We're all excited about the new direction Paul has given our team and his ability to keep our players focused during the course of the season," Petrie said. "I think he's done a tremendous job of helping us turn the corner." "我們對西佛今年的帶兵很滿意 他讓球員們整季都能保持專注的狀態 他幫了國王的重建極大的忙" Westphal took over for a team that had the worst record in the NBA last season, 17-65. The goals were to add competitive players and improve the Kings' defense and rebounding. 西佛接下的是去年的一隻大爛隊 並且今年目標在於加入好球員並且加強團隊防守跟籃板 The wins haven't been as plentiful as Westphal would have liked, but he's pleased with the direction of the team. 進步的勝場數西佛並不滿意 , 但是他認為球隊的方向正確 "We wish we could have won 70 games, but that wasn't realistic," Westphal said. "We're trying to get more wins and we're in search of speeding up that timetable for improvement. In general, I really couldn't have asked anything more of these players as far as dedication and commitment." 西佛說 "我希望我們能贏70場 可惜這只是個夢 我們想贏 ,同時也在找加速球隊進步的方法 平心而論 我們球員今年的進步已經達到一個我很滿意的水平了" In the rafters – Kevin Martin had big dreams as a King. One of them was to be mentioned in the same breath as Chris Webber, Mitch Richmond and Vlade Divac. KM也有一個無法實現的夢 Martin was back at Arco Arena on Monday for the first time as a Houston Rocket since being traded in February. 自從被交易後, 我們的KM今天回來了 He entered Monday's game averaging 20.3 points for the Rockets, which he said has been more enjoyable doing for a competitive team. KM說他已經比較能適應新球隊了,在火箭他平均能攻下20.3pts But he admitted leaving Sacramento left him with one goal unfinished. 但他仍有遺憾 "I think the most disappointing thing for me is I will never see my name up in the rafters as a King," Martin said before the game. "I was on pace to do that, and that's one of the things I wanted to accomplish in the NBA." "我原本是想在國王退休高掛球衣在Arco的 這曾是我NBA闖蕩的目標之一 " (譯:祝福KM 在火箭高掛吧!) Richmond, Webber and Divac are the three Kings from the Sacramento era with retired jerseys at Arco. Richmond, Webber and Divac是國王在 Arco退休高掛球衣的三位球員 Award winner – Kings guard Beno Udrih was this year's winner of the 2009-10 Oscar Robertson Triple-Double Award. BENO是今年的Oscar Robertson大三元獎得主 The award is voted on by local media and goes to the player who "is a team leader, embodies the spirit of sportsmanship and plays an outstanding all-around game" and "signifies off the court leadership by showing commitment to community service and family." 這是一個由沙加緬度記者參與的投票 選出國王隊年度最佳表現者, 總合領袖氣質,運動員精神,還有球場具體表現 並且願意場下社區貢獻作公益的球員 (譯:BENO is your man this year!實至名歸! 恭喜!) USA update – USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo told AOL Fanhouse that Kings rookie Tyreke Evans is close to being invited to be a part of Team USA's 27-man roster this summer. TE將會受邀進入美國隊今夏27人名單 --
