The Suns were piling up points early Sunday night, but their defensive stops could not keep up until Markieff Morris and Ish Smith entered the game. 太陽隊在星期天晚上對老鷹隊的比賽當中得到了高分，但他們原本無法一路保持優秀的防 守，直到Markieff和I.Smith發揮了表現。 Markieff Morris’ presence can swing a game, and it usually has been for the better — like Sunday night, when he posted 12 points, five rebounds and three assists in 14 first-half minutes to swing the Suns from trailing to a double-digit lead. Merkieff的表現是足以影響比賽的，不過他經常表現的很好，像是在星期天晚上的比賽當 中，他在上半場的14分鐘內拿下了12分5籃板3助攻使太陽隊得到了雙位數的領先。 “Of maybe all of our guys, he’s probably the biggest key,” Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said. “If he plays well, we usually have a pretty good chance of winning the game. When he isn’t active, then we struggle. We rely on him a lot coming off that bench, and we run a lot of stuff to him. He’s a great passer. He’s probably one of our better passers on the team.” 「或許在我們的球員當中，Markieff是最重要的關鍵球員」總教練Hornacek這麼說「如果 他打得好，我們通常就會有比較好的機會贏得比賽。但他如果不在狀況內，我們則會打得 很掙扎。我需要他從板凳出發的能量，因為我們許多戰術都是圍繞著他的。而他同時也擁 有相當棒的傳球視野與技術。」 The Suns need Morris to be aggressive in the post to create plays for himself and others, especially when Goran Dragic is resting. He has become a Sixth Man Award candidate by scoring in double digits in 21 of the past 22 games. The last Suns reserve to do that was teammate Leandro Barbosa, when he won the Sixth Man Award seven seasons ago. 太陽隊需要Markieff採取更具侵略性的打法以創造更多的戰術可能性，特別是在G.Dragic 不在場上時。因為他在過去22場比賽當中有21場得分都來到了雙位數，Markieff也是最佳 第六人獎項的熱門者之一。太陽隊隊史最近獲得這樣獎項是在七年前，當時的球員就是現 在也在陣中的Leandro Barbosa。 The Suns have not strayed from the usual starting five except for injuries, using the second-fewest total of starters this season (seven) in the NBA. Morris’ connection with his twin, Marcus, makes it an effective bench unit with Smith pushing the tempo. 太陽隊從未因為先發五虎的傷病問題感到困擾，尤其在他們是聯盟中少數不讓先發球員有 大量上場時間的球隊（譯：抱歉這句有些不太會翻）。I.Smith的推進能力和Markieff與 Marcus雙生連線的搭配，使太陽隊的板凳對比賽具有影響力 As a bench player, that sometimes means that Markieff Morris plays the rest of either half because he is going so well. He closes tight games with Hornacek usually trying to get a brief fourth-quarter rest. “You say we’ll ride him out and see if he gets tired and he’s been able to get through that and finish a lot of games,” Hornacek said. 作為一名板凳球員，有時意味著：Markieff的上場是來自於讓另一位球員的休息，雖然 Markieff表現的很好。Markieff的存在已經和比賽是否獲勝息息相關，使得Hornacek大多 數在決勝的第四節無法給Markieff太多的休息，不過Hornacek卻說「你可能會認為我們調 度Markieff的方式會讓他感到疲累，但事實上就是，他成功完成了很多場比賽！」 Randolph’s debut New Suns signee Shavlik Randolph got off to a bad start when Suns General Manager Ryan McDonough introduced him at the team’s charity gala Saturday night with a promise of him doing a Michael Jackson dance impersonation. Randolph passed and got playfully booed. 太陽隊球隊經理麥當勞在週六，在球隊的慈善晚會時，介紹太陽隊新簽來的球員Shavlik Randolph，Randolph在台上表演了Michael Jackson的舞蹈，得到了台下觀眾熱情的噓聲 ，迎來一個詭異的開場。 It did not go much better when he entered at the end of Sunday’s first quarter and committed a non-shooting foul with 4.9 seconds to go and the Atlanta Hawks in the bonus. But it went better from there, and Randolph saw fourth-quarter crunch time just a week after returning from a season shortened by a shoulder injury in China, which was followed by training in Miami, meeting McDonough in Raleigh, N.C., and coming to Phoenix for a workout. 在星期日對老鷹的比賽當中，Randolph卻沒有表現很好，尤其他在第一節末搞砸一次在 4.9秒內需完成的戰術性犯規－同時他也沒了獎金。不過他後來的展現就趨於改善，尤其 在他第四節的表現即可看出，儘管他在一個禮拜前還在邁阿密治療在中國所受的肩傷，同 時他也在那與麥當勞有了會面。而他來到太陽隊之後，會繼續鍛鍊身體。 Hornacek said the 6-10 veteran will be used mostly at center. 總教練則將這名六呎十吋且經驗豐富的球員定位為中鋒。 “You can see his activity, his knowledge of the game, his knack and sense for where a ball is coming off the rim or where he should be,” Hornacek said. “He knows how to play the game. For a team of guys who are a little bit younger and maybe a little bit inexperienced, that stuff sticks out of knowing how to play the game.“ 「你可以看到Randolph的活動力、籃球智慧、熟練的技術以及抓籃板的技巧，都非常老練 」Hornacek接著說「他知道怎麼去打一場好球賽，尤其在我們的球員都太年輕而且缺乏經 驗，我們非常需要像Randolph這樣的球員。」 Bledsoe update Suns point guard Eric Bledsoe will try his second day of gradually increasing five-on-five work at practice Monday. 太陽隊的控球後衛Eric Bledsoe將會在週一逐漸加強五對五對抗練習量。 “I’ve tried to talk to Eric about saying you’ve got to just push through being tired because that’s the only way you’re going to get in better shape, ” Hornacek said. 「我會試著告訴Eric，他所經歷的挫折與磨練將會使他成為更棒的球員。」Hornacek說。 Free throws Atlanta coach Mike Budenholzer had first game as a head coach in his home state with his parents and extended family on hand. The Holbrook native is the son of former Holbrook High coach Vince Budenholzer, a member of the Arizona Coaches Hall of Fame. 週日的比賽同時也是老鷹隊的新總教練Mike Budenholzer第一次作為主帥的比賽，而鳳凰 城就是他的老家。而他的老爸Vince Budenholzer則入選了亞歷桑納教練名人堂。 Mike Budenholzer on the Suns: “One of the most impressive things is just how hard they play. It’s a real credit to their players to obviously Jeff Hornacek and the staff. They really get after it defensively. They do a lot of things to disrupt you. They’re physical.” Mike Budenholzer評論他的對手說：「其中最令人深刻的事情就是：他們真得超級難打！ 可以看出球員與制服組之間的信任，尤其這具體表現在防守之中，他們做了很多手段在攔 阻你。真是難纏。」 “We want to run those guys off,” Hornacek said. “Our bigs for the most part do a pretty good job where we don’t have to automatically double so that ’s a big part of it. It’s a team thing. If the guards are doing a good job of not letting the team penetrate in pick-and-rolls situation and are up to touch like we’re supposed to, it’s harder to get those 3s.” 「我們必須要使他們失去準心」Hornacek接著說「我們的大個子在大多數的時間都做得很 好，所以我們不用採取自動包夾的戰術，這是贏得比賽的一大原因。而比賽是團隊合作， 如果後衛防守得好，使對手的擋切戰術失敗，他們就很難有三分球進帳」 The Suns’ winning percentage improvement from last season is second only to Portland’s improvement. 本季太陽隊的勝率比上一季較高，勝率上升的數據僅次於拓荒者隊。 來源：http://ppt.cc/CVMa 第一次翻譯外電，如果翻得不好還請大家見諒>< -- --
