http://tinyurl.com/ktou2kf Vince Carter has been on a serious sizzle of late. His points per minute are off the charts and he’s piled up some impressive overall numbers. He’s averaging 13.3 points over the last 15 games. And he’s shot a shade over 40-percent from 3-point range in February. It’s not surprising that the Dallas Mavericks have reaped the benefits of Carter’s uptick with their hottest stretch of the season, including Wednesday’s 108-89 win over New Orleans. So is it time to get his sixth-man-of-the-year campaign underway? “I try not to get caught up in it,” Carter said after knocking down 17 points in 22 minutes against the Pelicans. “I’m just going to do my job. Hopefully that will be good enough. “This is the truth. Being considered in the sixth-man thing is good enough, even if I don’t win it. It’s a new position I took on as a challenge and I’ ve accomplished the next goal, the next phase of my game, where I can come off the bench and still be effective, something I was like, can I do it or not.” Carter’s competition for the honor isn’t overwhelming. Players like Chicago ’s Taj Gibson, the Lakers’ Nick Young, San Antonio’s Manu Ginobili, Phoenix ’s Markieff Morris and the Clippers’ Jamal Crawford are in the running. Carter’s impact measures up nicely against any of them. Mostly, he’s just happy to be performing well when the Mavericks need him most. “This is when you make your money,” he said of the stretch run of the season. “It’s my time to step it up for the team and be consistent and aggressive and make plays. I haven’t really thought about it. It’s a great feeling being a spark and people recognizing it.” Carter近15場平均13.3分三分球命中率來到40% VC今年有望角逐最佳第六人 目前比較有機會的球員有 Taj Gibson Nich Young Manu Ginobili Markieff Morris Jamal Crowford和Vince Carter VC說他沒特別花心思去想得獎的事 他說他希望在球隊需要他時他能跳出來 穩定貢獻和打得積極 --
