http://0rz.tw/wyPPc Before hitting the court against the Phoenix Suns in the Sacramento Kings’ preseason opener, the last time Aaron Brooks suited up in an NBA uniform was with the team from the Grand Canyon State. AB曾經待過太陽 The Kings point guard was dealt to Phoenix for Goran Dragic before the 2011 NBA Trade Deadline from the Houston Rockets, a team he had spent the first three-and-a-half years of his career. At the time, it was a logical move for the Rockets, who witnessed Brooks regress just a season after winning the league’s Most Improved Player award. 2011年他待了三年半的火箭把AB拿去交易到Goran Dragic。 時間點是在AB贏得最佳進步球場的隔一季 Sometimes a change of scenery, especially in a contract year, can work out in a player’s favor. But in Brooks’ case, his move to the desert wasn’t able to turn around a lackluster 2010-11 season. He couldn’t shake a nagging ankle issue that plagued him all year long and played just 25 contests with the Suns before taking his game to China. 通常合約年可以刺激球員打球的欲望 但AB的轉隊並不能改變他低迷的2010-11賽季 他的腳踝傷勢讓他僅僅為太陽打了25場比賽就轉往 中國大陸打球 “Well, you know the problem that we had when we had Aaron is that he was injured,” said Suns head coach Alvin Gentry of his former backup point guard. “And really, he struggled to be there. 太陽教練Alvin Gentry說 『 我們擁有他的時候他的問題就是傷病，而他真的在太陽陷入了低潮。』 “It was his first time being traded,” Gentry added. “And I think it was a shock to him, really.” 『這是他第一次被交易，而我覺得這對他打擊很大。』 Though things didn’t work out in Phoenix, the Suns head coach still endorsed Brooks as a viable pick-up for the Kings. Gentry pleaded Brooks’ case by pointing out his performance against the Los Angeles Lakers during 2008-09 playoffs. The Kings point guard averaged 18 points per game while shooting 46 percent from the field and 40 percent from three-point range in the seven-game series. 雖然雙方合作並不成功，Gentry依然認可國王簽下AB是個可行的決定 Gentry指出在2008-09賽季季後賽，湖人火箭系列賽的AB 平均每場球18分 ,46%的field 跟 40%的3pt% 表現 讓他印象非常深刻。 “When you’ve got Aaron Brooks at his best,” Gentry began. “And when he’ s right mentally and he’s physically fine – he’s got great quickness, can score the basketball, push the basketball up court (and he’s a) really good teammate. So, I think he’s going to do well here.” Gentry說：『當他身心狀態OK時，他有極快的速度跟得分能力，推進球到前場的速度 　　　　　　還有他真是個好隊友。我想他在國王可以有他的一片天。』 -- 相關影片 [5.10.09] Aaron Brooks - 34 Points Vs Lakers (Complete Highlights) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6VN3mrlam0 --
