The Kings picking up the option on the contract of power forward Carl Landry for next season wasn't a surprise, but it was one less thing for the player to worry about entering the offseason. 國王下個球季留下洗衣店已經幾乎成定局 Landry is looking forward to his fourth NBA season, one in which he'll begin the campaign as a starter for the first time after a midseason trade sent him from Houston to the Kings. Landry plans to start his first full season in Sacramento with an improved defensive game and more versatility to what already is a diverse offensive game. 藍錐將邁入他的第四個球季 也打算展開他的第一個完整球季 他打算成為一個更全面性的球員 Landry said he plans to improve his footwork and study film in hopes of being able to defend smaller players on the perimeter. While Landry usually bangs his body against fellow power forwards on defense, he sees expanding his defensive skills as the next step in improving his overall play. 藍錐打算增強他的移動性 並重影片中學習以防守個子小的球員 他也打算增強防守技巧好讓自己成為一個全方位的球員 "A little bit," Landry said by phone from Houston of his experience defending on the perimeter. "I've defended some of the bigger threes – Lamar Odom (of the Lakers), Shawn Marion (of Dallas). Smaller ones, not necessarily, but when there are bigger threes out there, I think I should be able to do that." Any discussion of a King improving on defense is always welcome around Arco Arena. The Kings allowed 104.4 points per game in 2009-10, sixth-most in the NBA. 防守大個子球員他還可以 但小個子的話就不一定了 國王向來不以防守見長 今年平均一場讓對手得104.4分在聯盟排名第六多 And if Landry could defend bigger small forwards on a regular basis, it would give the Kings more lineup flexibility. Landry is eager to step out of the comfort of the paint and cover more space on the floor. "It's footwork, being in the (defensive) stance, basketball IQ and really just moving your feet," Landry said. "Big guys usually just stand and bang." 藍錐想擴大自己的防守範圍 加強自己的站位 腳步移動以及智慧 如果藍錐可以防守小前鋒 那國王的調度將會更有彈性 The physical part of his position isn't lost on Landry. He also plans to work on his post defense and rebounding. Landry averaged 6.5 rebounds in 28 games with the Kings, a pace that would have put him second behind team leader Jason Thompson. 他也沒忘記要加強自己的身體條件以加強低位防守和鞏固籃板 藍錐在國王隊的28場比賽平均抓下6.5個籃板 比JT少了一點 Landry plans to study some of the NBA's better and craftier post defenders to find things to add to his résumé. "Experience is the best teacher, and learning from guys like (Houston's) Chuck Hayes, (San Antonio's) Tim Duncan, who is a great player, or (Toronto's) Reggie Evans," Landry said. Duncan has used his length to bother opponents for years. Hayes and Evans have gotten by with positioning and using skill to defend bigger players in the paint. Hayes, Landry's former teammate in Houston, started at center for the Rockets despite being just 6-foot-6, three inches shorter than Landry. 藍錐打算從NBA中的一些前輩中吸取經驗 像是Chuck Hayes Tim Duncan,Reggie Evans 藍追在火箭的前隊友Hayes 只有6-6吋卻能扛下火箭的禁區 這是藍錐可以學習的地方 Landry's summer plans also include a basketball camp in Sacramento in June and finding a permanent address. Landry lived in a Sacramento hotel after being traded in February. "Those days are over," Landry said. "I'm looking forward to coming back and getting established." 藍錐這個暑假除了參加6月的訓練營以外就是找到房子 自從被交易到國王之後 他一直住在飯店裡 藍錐想找個固定的住所了 --
