http://0rz.tw/wHGOK If the Kings aren't a good defensive team this season, it won't be for lack of effort from the coaching staff. 防守是今年教練團的重點 Since Media Day on Oct. 1, the coaches have preached defense, and the Kings hope that message carries over to the regular season. 從訓練營開始教練團就宣導球員:防守要維持一整季 On Thursday night, the Kings wrapped up their preseason with a 94-82 win over the Los Angeles Lakers at Valley View Casino Center. The Kings were the worst defensive team in the NBA last season, allowing opponents to shoot 47.6 percent and score 104.4 points per game. 去年國王是糟糕的防守球隊 It was a big reason why the Kings finished last in the Pacific Division and missed the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season. 所以戰蹟也吊車尾 "I knew that in order for them to stay focused on (defense), me and my staff would have to stay on it daily," said Kings coach Keith Smart. 『我們教練團每天都在盯防守』Smart說 That's been the case. Smart introduced his defensive rating system and made it clear the Kings have enough players who can score. Smart認為得分對這隻國王不是太大問題，今年他將加強防守。 "The first and last thing he says everyday is about defense: 'We're not going to be the last defensive team in the league,' " guard Isaiah Thomas said. "And I think that's changed people's minds. We can be a good defensive team if we put our effort and our mind to it." IT說:『每天訓練教練從第一句到最後一句的叮嚀都是防守。今年防守爛的情況會改變』 The Kings finished the preseason with an energetic defensive showing. They forced 21 turnovers (leading to 28 points) and held the Lakers, who played without Kobe Bryant, to 42.4 percent shooting. 今天的比賽造成湖人21次失誤，在沒有KOBE的情形下命中率低落 (按:雖然我覺得失誤是對手的關係較大) Smart said the Kings are more aware of their defensive mistakes now. That's been a big reason he sees growth defensively. "Our guys have retained a lot of the stuff we're doing," Smart said. "When we see there are things we haven't been doing, it's quickly identifiable and, right away, corrected." Smart 說:『球員的執行力很不錯，有錯、就改』 That accountability was badly needed. 『自我要求』是這隻球隊需要的 "Last year, it was if you make a mistake it was, 'Well, it's all good,' " Thomas said. "This year we know, and people are talking to each other." IT說:『去年有人犯了錯還能說無所謂，今年隊友會直接的溝通說你哪裡做錯了』 Though there has been improvement, Smart is far from content. 雖然這是個進步，然而教練說還早呢 Heading into the regular season, he wants to see improved defensive rebounding. 他想要改善籃板球 "A lot of them are long rebounds from the free-throw line and a little bit out," Smart said. "We're not getting to those balls, 50/50 balls, second-chance points that we've got to get to and take away." 『有一些罰球沒進或是彈框而出的球，, 50/50 的爭搶機會。我們時常沒把握住 喪失許多二次進攻的機會。』 Those effort plays are the kind that could lead to second-chance points and to more transition offense. 如果多搶下一些進攻籃板，國王將在二次得分機會跟攻守轉換上更具優勢 The Kings will open the season Wednesday at Chicago, a team known for it's hustle for the 50/50 balls. 開幕戰對上公牛，剛好就是一個非常會搶二次籃板球的防守強隊。 "We've got to come up with those," Smart said. "A lot of those we didn't come up with last year. The good teams get to those. We've got to find a way to get to those balls." 『拿出態度來防守，做到去年沒做到的事，搶下那些該得到的籃板。』 The Kings (5-2) won their fifth preseason game Thursday, the most since winning five in 2006. 國王打出熱身賽的好戰績(5W-2L),上一次熱身賽拿到五勝已經是2006的事 (下略) -- --
