Monroe今年的表現一直被「開始走下坡」的評價圍繞著，但Monroe最近這幾場的表現大有 打破這些傳言的味道。 Seemingly, it's stemmed from what we all expected to be a staple in his offensive repertoire - his midrange jump shot that's suddenly begun to fall. 從帳面上看來，最近的起色主要來自於Monroe的進攻手段改變─他的中距離出手次數開始 減少。 "That was the first shot, right? First play," said Monroe after the Pistons' 96-87 win over the Wizards on Saturday night. "Open shot, I made it. It kind of got me going. Today, though, we did a good job setting the tone on defense." 「這是一個新的嘗試」Monroe在星期六的晚上，活塞擊敗巫師之後接受採訪時說「空檔出 手，我做到了。這也讓我持續前進，我們透過成功的防守來擊敗對手。」 While it's true his defense has improved and the moments where he's left flat-footed haven't been as plentiful - and coach Lawrence Frank hasn't hesitated to publicly give him credit - Monroe is primarily an offensive player and when that shot is falling, everything opens up. His scoring is almost identical from last season (15.6, from 15.4 last season), while his assists are up (2.3 to 3.3). Monroe的防守確實有進步。在場上，他並沒有太多的時間可以去思考每次出手的時機，但 教練毫不猶豫的給了他高度的信任。Monroe是主力攻擊球員，但當他的出手次數減少後， 數據反而上升了。這個球季到目前為止場均得分是15.6，(上季15.4)，而助攻次數從2.3 次上升到3.3。 "I would hope so and I'm going to continue to be aggressive in scoring in spots where I'm comfortable ," Monroe said. "I don't get caught up in numbers, especially personally. All I'm worried about is the win column. 「我希望能夠保持侵略性，尤其在我喜歡的狀態下出手」Monroe說，「我不想被數據影響 ，尤其是個人的成績數據。我要關心的只有球隊的勝利。」 "I'm definitely getting better rhythm. My confidence in my shot is way up. Me making that shot is allowing me to get more (opportunities)." 無庸置疑的，我的節奏越來越好了。出手的信心一直保持在高檔的狀態，這讓我的出手命 中率更高。 He wasn't hitting that shot early in the season, though, and as teams began to give him that 15-18-foot jumper, he didn't want to take it. It's one thing to shoot that from aggression, but mentally, it can do something to a player when their opponent is daring them to shoot. 然而在季初的時候Monroe的命中率並不高，因為Monroe的出手選擇大多在距離籃框15-18 英呎(中距離)的地方，這不是他喜歡的位置。中距離出手對球員來說是精神上的考驗，當 對手放膽讓你投籃的時候，你必須要作出是否出手的決定。 "I think I was hesitating," Monroe said. "I was getting the same looks so I think the hesitation was the thing." 「我想我應該是猶豫了」Monroe說「我得到相同的結果，我想就是因為我猶豫了。」 He's scored just 28 total in the two games since his career-high 35-point explosion against Toronto a week ago, but he played an average of only 27.5 minutes in wins over the Wizards - and the Pistons will play far better competition in the coming days in the Hawks (tonight) and champion Heat (Friday, The Palace). 在上一場對上暴龍的比賽中Monroe得到生涯最高的35分；在這之後的兩場比賽Monroe總共 只得了28分，但這兩場比賽Monroe平均只上場了27.5分鐘，這兩場比賽都擊敗了巫師隊。 接下來的對手的實力會比巫師強許多，分別是老鷹隊及去年的冠軍熱火隊。 With the Pistons near the bottom in scoring, it would behoove them to play through Monroe - although they use him as a primary ball handler to initiate offense when Brandon Knight struggles, a more frequent occurrence recently - but working through Monroe from the block could be the best option, especially if nobody else has it going. 當活塞遇到得分瓶頸時，理所當然Monroe會是第一出手選擇；在後衛Brandon Knight 的 表現陷入泥淖時，Monroe同時必須擔任攻擊發動機的角色。但讓Monroe只負責得分會是較 好的選擇，尤其是當其他人無法勝任這項任務的時候。 "I wouldn't say I feel the burden. I feel I'm someone that can score," Monroe said. "Multiple people can score. If the game permits it, then I try to take advantage of it. It's about making sure people are in the right positions and staying aggressive ." 「我不能說我的負擔變大了，我只覺得我能夠擔起得分重任」Monroe說「能夠得分的人 選還有很多，如果狀況允許，我會好好利用這個優勢，這可以確保每個人在對的位置並且 保持我們的侵略性。 He didn't feel he was getting the ball in his sweet spots or when he had a good game going against an opponent he had a natural advantage against. That changed against the Raptors, and considering the Hawks are stout across the frontline defensively, perhaps the Pistons will challenge their strength. 在過去，有時候Monroe會找不到最適合自己的出手選擇; 也有時候靠著自己的先天優勢去 克服。這項改變在面對暴龍隊及考慮到老鷹隊有著高大鋒線的防守優勢，也許活塞能夠靠 著這樣的改變來挑戰他們。 "That night I got into a good rhythm," Monroe said. "In this league anybody can get into a good rhythm on one night and have a good night. Everything was working. Some nights it does, some it doesn't." 「那個晚上，我們有著極佳的節奏」Monroe說，「在聯盟裡，每個人都可以在某個晚上找 到屬於自己的比賽節奏，每一個環節都配合的相當完美，但總是也有失靈的時候」 Prince possible Pistons F Tayshaun Prince (right ankle) has been listed as a game-time decision for tonight, and Frank won't name a replacement until he knows for sure. 小王子依舊在比賽名單上，教練還沒宣布替代人選直到確定他是否能夠上場。 -- 少年不識愁滋味，愛上層樓，愛上層樓，為賦新詞強說愁。 而今識盡愁滋味，欲說還休，欲說還休，卻道天涼好個秋。 --
