Minutes are scarce, but Brian Cardinal is still hoping his jumper returns to form By Eddie Sefko / Reporter 11:13 PM on Wed., Mar. 7, 2012 http://ppt.cc/oI_2 PHOENIX -- Brian Cardinal was asked if he could explain his 15.8 percent shooting from 3-point range this season and answered quickly. "Is it that high?" he said. 當Brian Cardinal被問到他可不可以解釋本季15.8%的三分球命中率時他很快的回答 「有那麼高喔！？」 That's Cardinal in a nutshell -- slow-footed but quick-witted. And he's very much a realist. The rapid-fire 66-game season doesn't just take its toll on the players who put in heavy minutes in games. It's also tough on situational players who know they aren't going to get into every game. 簡單來說，這就是卡大叔 ─ 緩慢卻又機靈。(這啥?) 本季66場緊湊的賽程不僅對上場時間多的球員造成不良的影響， 對開特力守護軍來說也很艱辛。 Cardinal is Exhibit A. 卡大叔是開特力守護軍一號。(其實我不知道這句是在說啥= =亂翻的，有人可以指點嗎) "It's kind of a goofy year," Cardinal said. "By all means, if I shoot the ball, I should make it. But it's hard to find your rhythm and grind your way through it. In the previous years, if you don't play in a game, you always had practice to get shots up. "Here, there are so many games, and we're trying to find rotations and see what works. I'm thankful for the chances I get. Unfortunately, I haven't shot the ball well." Cardinal說：「這是有點古怪的一年。當然，出手的時候就應該要投進， 但在場上很難找到節奏。前幾年，如果沒有上場機會， 還有時間可以練投。但現在有好多的比賽，我們又必須試 著找出有效率的輪替。對於所得到的機會我非常感謝， 但很遺憾地我並沒有做好射手的工作。」 Cardinal also hasn't had the benefit of garbage time, which he sometimes has used to sharpen his shooting because the Mavericks need to get rotation players as much time on the court as possible since there are very few practices. He also knows his chance will come, eventually. Cardinal並沒有得到很多他平常用來磨練手感的垃圾時間，因為平常練習的機會很少， 小牛隊必須盡量讓輪轉陣容有多一點的時間在場上。而卡大叔知道機會終究會來臨。 "There's going to be times when somebody's going to get nicked up or somebody gets in foul trouble where reserves are going to be called upon," he said. "That's kind of where I come in. So you've got to stay in shape, do all the extra running and stay ready." 「可能有人受傷或陷入犯規麻煩時，我們就會被叫上來。 所以必須保持狀態，多做額外的跑步並隨時準備好。」 -- 難得有卡大叔的消息 三分快點長回來吧.... --
