http://0rz.tw/I2jNx Offensively speaking, it’s been a rocky start to the NBA season for newcomer James Johnson. The Sacramento Kings small forward hasn’t been able to find his rhythm and is shooting a team-low 23 percent from the field through four games. JJ在開季投籃陷入超低潮，全隊最低的 23% Johnson has looked out of sync when the Kings have had the ball, but his struggles aren’t a major concern for Keith Smart. The Kings head coach believes that the 25-year-old forward is still adapting to his new surroundings. 看起來JJ有點狀況外，但Smart不擔心這點\ 他認為JJ只是還在習慣環境 “I don’t think there’s anything ailing him,” Smart said of Johnson following Tuesday practice. “I think it’s all new to him. I’m giving him freedom to function as a wing player and I think that’s maybe something new to him. Smart :『我不覺得他有問題，我給了他在側翼上的主導權，對他來說還不太習慣。』 “I’m saying to him do whatever you need to do and do it decisively,” Smart added. “And I think he’s kind of shell-shocked (with) that, you know?” Smart :『他是那種處變不驚的球員，所以我跟他說就放手去做決定、免驚。』 The Kings head coach also thinks that Johnson’s unfamiliarity with his teammates has to do with his slow offensive start. The fourth-year wing briefly worked out with Tyreke Evans while preparing for the 2009 NBA Draft. But other than the Kings’ starting shooting guard, Johnson had never played with anyone on the team before he was traded to Sacramento back in July. JJ因為跟隊友的默契還不熟悉，尤其跟後衛群來說以往從沒搭配過。 With a team full of capable scorers, Smart contends that he doesn’t need offense from Johnson at this moment. For now, the Kings coach is pleased with the defensive proficiency that Johnson has brought early this season. Currently, Johnson stands third on the team in defensive rating, just behind Thomas Robinson and DeMarcus Cousins, allowing just 95 points per 100 possessions. Smart 說他並不擔心JJ的進攻，因為還有許多人能得分 尤其JJ帶來的防守是如此好用，他在每100 possessions裡只讓對手得到95分 是隊上第三好，僅次於Cousins跟TROB “He’s not a shooter right now,” Smart said. “But he doesn’t have to be that shooter right now. We don’t need him for that right now. We’ve got enough scorers right now.” Smart :『他投籃現在不行，但我們不急。得分手已經夠多了。』 Chuck Hayes trusts Aaron Brooks in crunch time AB與彼此信任 In three of his first four games, Aaron Brooks has found himself as the Kings ’ closer at point guard. Chuck Hayes, who teamed with Brooks in Houston a few years ago, has no problem with the veteran point guard taking big shots in a tight contest. AB漸漸變成國王的關門PG，與他在火箭共事過的Hayes樂於在關鍵時刻 傳球給他 “He can get his shot off just like Marcus (Thornton),” Hayes said. “And he can handle the ball just as good as Tyreke. The guy, he’s clutch. He’s won most improved out of 450 players. So I’ve seen him do that and I’m comfortable with him being in there in the fourth quarter.” Hayes 『 他跟MT都有大心臟，他的控球不輸TE。他拿過最佳進步獎 所以第四節我樂於找到他投籃。』 Brooks scored five of the Kings’ final six points in Monday’s win over the Golden State Warriors. Brooks 在對上勇士的比賽中最後時刻拿下了五分 John Salmons update 鮭魚更新 The Kings veteran swingman missed most of the preseason due to the birth of his third child. Salmons rejoined the team in Minnesota last week, but has yet to suit up this season. 鮭魚因為他的第三個孩子出生而缺賽了一陣子。 Smart would like the Kings’ oldest player to have at least two more practices under his belt before bringing him back into action. But the Kings head coach also trusts Salmons’ judgment when it comes to knowing if he’s ready to play. Smart 希望鮭魚再隨隊訓練兩次後再上場 但Smart 也尊重鮭魚自己的判斷，覺得能打的話就登陸 “One thing about veteran guys, they know their bodies,” Smart said. “They know when their bodies are ready and so that won’t be my call. Whenever he says he’s ready to go and the training staff says that he’s okay, then we’ ll put him on the floor.” Smart :『老將知道自己何時準備好，只要訓練員說OK、鮭魚自己也OK 他就能上場。』 Since returning, Salmons has eased back into the Kings’ practice flow with some light work in four-on-four and five-on-five scrimmages. 鮭魚已經可以做些練習包括4 vs 4 & 5 vs 5 Video: Keith Smart on offensive adjustments and Chuck Hayes on second-unit’s cohesion 相關影片: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6QMFNz52KA 進攻上 Smart 談到球員過半場做決定， 大個過半場要趕快找到好的空間落位 讓我們的兩翼可以開始發動找到傳球的機會 持球不要超過1~2秒 -- --
