WRAPPING UP SPURS’ JANUARY 2015 Posted by Paul Garcia on Feb 1, 2015 12:00 來源：http://ppt.cc/fI7P ------------------------------ AT&T CENTER – After finishing the month of December with an 8-10 record in 18 games, January may has seemed like a breath of fresh air for the San Antonio Spurs. 經歷過了12月期間的8勝10敗，1月對馬刺而言看似會是一個如沐春風的月份。 Where December was brutal with 18 games in 31 days, 11 games against playoff- caliber opponents, and seven back-to-backs; January was the opposite. 12月在31天內打了18場比賽，並且有11場是對上有進季後賽能力的對手，外加7場背靠背; 1月卻是完全的相反。 In 31 days in January, the Spurs only had to play 14 games, with seven games against playoff-level teams, and just three back-to-back sets. The Spurs finished January with a 10-4 record, going 4-3 against those playoff-caliber teams, and 4-2 in the six affiliated back-to-back games. 馬刺在1月只有14場比賽，只有7場有對上有進季後賽能力的強隊，也只有3場背靠背。1月 的戰績是10勝4敗，對上強隊為4勝3敗，其中4勝2敗是附屬於背靠背的比賽。 “To have a little bit of a break in-between games has been nice,” said Spurs forward Jeff Ayres Saturday. “Not just like back-to-backs and then a break, then another back-to-back. It’s been nice to have a couple of day’s in-between games and being at home.” Ayres表示："能夠在比賽之間有著幾天的休息對我們是好的。" Regardless, at the end of January, the Spurs remain where they ended December in the standings, at seventh place in the rugged Western Conference, with a 30-18 record. 不管怎樣，馬刺依舊在西區戰績排行第七，有著30勝18敗的表現。 The best news for San Antonio in January came on the 16th, when Kawhi Leonard was finally able to return to the lineup. With Leonard back, the Spurs went 6-2 in the eight games he’s played in thus far since returning from injury. Leonard’s production has also risen, as he’s scored 15 or more points in six of his last eight games since returning. 對馬刺最好的消息就是在16號回歸球場的Leonard。Leonard回歸後有上場的比賽戰績是 6勝2敗。在場上的效率也有上昇，已經在回歸的8場中有6場比賽能得到15分或更高的成 績。 In his eight games back, Leonard is leading San Antonio in scoring with 16.5 points, while he’s also averaging 8.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 2.0 steals in 30.8 minutes per game since coming back on January 16th. 在這8場中，Leonard能夠得到平均全隊最高的16.5分，外加在平均30.8分鐘的上場時間， 有8.8籃板、2.1助攻跟2.0抄截。 When you think about it, it’s only been eight games that the Spurs have been nearly 90% healthy all season with just Marco Belinelli (groin) still missing. If you look at it in that lens, it’s basically like the Spurs as a whole are barely beginning to build and re-acclimate their team, as Ayres told me. 如果你想想，在這8場比賽馬刺隊已經慢慢的回到了90％的陣容，只有Belinelli還是缺席 的。馬刺已經慢慢的再讓球隊重新適應比賽，Ayers這麼地說道。 “I think so,” said Ayres of the Spurs finally getting everything together as a nearly full squad. “That’s the sense that we have. Everything’s starting to click a little more, the stuff that we’ve been harping on since the beginning of the season, especially last month.” Ayers表示："我是這麼認為的。我們都有這種慢慢回到正軌的感覺。" Even with the Spurs' double-digit losses recently to the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Clippers, the message from the players is still in looking at the season as a long journey, instead of judging it all based off the outcome of one game. 雖然馬刺在跟公牛以及快艇的比賽中慘輸了有二位數，球員們都持續的並長遠的看待這個 球季，而不是讓一兩場比賽的結果影響他們的想法。 Point guard Tony Parker called Saturday’s loss to the Clippers a “bump in the road.” While guard Danny Green, said the Spurs’ two recent double-digit losses to the Bulls and Clippers are more “disappointing” due to a lack of effort and focus, rather than “concerning.” 禮拜六慘輸給快艇，Parker表示："只是有點不順利而已" Danny Green也覺得這兩場比賽慘敗是因為缺乏了努力及專注力而“令人失望的”並不是 “令人顧慮的” “We’re going to lose more games,” said Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich after Saturday’s loss. “The team that wins the championship this year is going to lose more games too, so it’s not like it’s a happening, or something that’s never happened before.” 而Popovich則是說了"會輸球也是天經地義的，我們之後會輸更多球，今年的冠軍球隊在 接下來也不會保持全勝，輸球不是一件破天荒的事" With January over, the Spurs now look ahead to February, where they will get even more days off, as the team will only play 11 games in 28 days, including a week-long break with the new All-Star break stretch. The team will face five playoff-caliber opponents in February and have three back-to-back sets in the month. 現在1月結束了，2月馬刺將會得到更多休息的時間，因為在28天只會有11場比賽，包含了 明星賽帶來的一個禮拜的休兵期間。2月份馬刺將會對上5隊有季後賽實力的球隊並且有三 場背靠背的比賽。 “It’s starting to click a little more,” continued Ayres on his team Saturday before the loss to the Clippers. “We still have some work to do, but we just want to keep growing and getting better each and every game.” Ayers又說了："我們需要繼續努力，在每場比賽持續的進步" While the loss Saturday to the Clippers looked really bad for one night, as a whole, there’s still a lot of basketball to be played for San Antonio. 對快艇的比賽可能讓人在那天晚上覺得很慘，不過以一季賽季來說，馬刺還有更多的籃球 在等著他們。 ------------------------ 也是試翻，在一些地方或許有不順或翻的不好的(或者只是大概翻意思）還請見諒。 功力未到家啊！！！ 之後會繼續努力，請多多指教。 --
