Or hunkering down on the blocks as a 20- or 21-year-old kid with Shaquille O’Neal, a guy who’s first NBA game you saw as a preschooler? I mean, I’m sure it all becomes old hat rather quickly, but still… it’s got to be weird the first few times around. 大意跟第一段一樣, Shaq可能是這些小毛頭孩提時代電玩中的腳色 Though Nash isn’t the first NBA player (or star) they’ve each respectively guarded, Detroit Piston rookie guards Arron Afflalo and Rodney Stuckey must have had one of those surreal moments Monday night at the Palace during the Pistons’ 110-105 overtime win. Drafted 27th overall last June and averaging 3 points and 1.5 rebounds on the season, Afflalo—the reigning Pac-Ten Player of the Year—was asked to step into the starting lineup with Rip Hamilton sitting out with a sore hip. You wouldn’t know it from his paltry averages, but Afflalo has shown excellent instincts as a man defender and held his own against both guards and small forwards during the spot minutes he’s getting off Flip Saunders’ bench. 阿福跟史塔基在Rip不能上場時獲得先發機會, 阿福展現他的防守直覺, 面對all star Nash毫不畏懼 Saunders assigned him the challenge of matching up with Steve Nash instead of Raja Bell, and in the first half the rook wasn’t phased (unlike Rowan on office-training day). Though Nash is clearly much quicker, Afflalo did a bang-up job of staying in front of him nearly every time the Suns PG tried to get to the hole. But Nash earned back-to-back NBA MVP awards based in large part around his prolific offensive talents—as soon as Afflalo made a mistake (slipped on a juke, took too long going over a pick, flat out left him open) Nash made him pay. To the rookie’s credit, however, those mistakes were the only ones Nash scored on in the first half. For the game, Afflalo had 6 points, 4 boards, 3 assists, and a steal in 21 minutes. 阿福如影隨形出現在Nash的前面, 只要阿福稍不留神, Nash就還以顏色, 但就僅僅在第一 節Nash有機會得手 Stuckey, my point guard candidate for this season’s All-Rookie First Team, also benefitted from Hamilton’s absence in logging a career-high 30:12 minutes, the bulk of which came in the second half. He’s quicker and smaller than Afflalo, but Nash was still able to blow by him a few times and get into a groove in the fourth, finishing with 23 points and 9 assists. Still, Stuckey held his ground admirably for the most part, especially given the crunch-time minutes he was playing against a proven crunch-time closer. He had a very strong offensive game going too, finishing with 13 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, and an assist on 50% FG. He just missed two difficult shots after making two semi-acrobatic drives to the basket, makes that would have given him a career-best 17. 史塔基是我心目中新人SG all-rookie的首選, 他獲得生涯最多上場時間的先發, 尤其是 在下半場. 他比阿福小號, 速度較快. Nash從他身上討到便宜幾次. 但史塔基在關鍵時刻 毫不手軟, 得到一致的讚揚. Afflalo and Stuckey both already faced these Suns back on February 24th when the Pistons embarassed the Suns on national television 116-86 in one of O’ Neal’s first games as a Sun. Neither player had an especially big impact, however… certainly nothing close to what they did the second time around against Nash and O’Neal, two veterans who were at one time hopping aboard NBA team planes for a road game while these two rookies were riding the school bus and thinking about playing NBA Jam after school on their Sega Genesis. 阿福跟史塔基不是第一次面對太陽隊, 上次贏他們很多. 但是這兩位毛頭小子上一場並沒 有如今夜令人印象深刻. 想當年他們在搭校車打電動的時代, Nash跟Shaq已經搭專機四處 征戰了. --
