Kaman's Portland performance could pay off Kaman在對拓荒者的比賽中證明他的價值資料來源：http://0rz.tw/jC0HM 網頁版：http://yen817cpbl.pixnet.net/blog/post/37769816 That might have been a money game for Chris Kaman. Kaman opted to sign a one-year, $8 million deal with the Mavericks last summer instead of taking a similar offer from the Trail Blazers. Considering how he’s bounced between the starting lineup and the end of the bench, it’s hard to believe that Kaman will return to Dallas next season. Portland could be interested again in signing him, however. Kaman certainly made a strong case Sunday night that he can help the Blazers, who will again have a hole to fill at center with J.J. Hickson entering free agency. 對Chris Kaman來說，這可能是場牽涉到鈔票的比賽。Kaman在去年夏天拒絕拓荒者差不多的報價，選擇和小牛簽下一筆800萬美元的合約。考慮到Kaman的角色遊走在先發和板凳末端之間，不難想像他下一季不會再回到達拉斯，而拓荒者很可能會再一次的網羅他。 Kaman在前一場比賽打得很強勢，對於隊上中鋒J.J. Hickson即將變成自由球員的拓荒者來說，Kaman是適合彌補這空缺的人選。 Not to damn his 26-point, 11-rebound, two-block outing with faint praise, but this was arguably the best performance by Kaman during this frustrating season. Kaman’s season-high point total matching the highest scoring game by a Mavs center during the Dirk Nowitzki era. He also recorded his third double-double of the season – and first since Jan. 2 – despite playing only 25 minutes. “Kaman was great from the beginning of the game,” coach Rick Carlisle told reporters. “He hit his first shot, was really active on defense, rebounded like crazy and just gave us a terrific all-around game.” 單場26分11籃板2火鍋，本季第三度的double-double，無疑是這個令人失望球季中的最佳演出，Kaman的本季新高也同樣是小牛隊中鋒在Dirk世代中的最高得分。卡帥和記者表示：「Kaman整場球打得太棒了，在防守和抓籃板上也相當積極。」 This season, however, has been far from great for the 10-year veteran 7-footer. Billed as the best offensive big man the Mavs have had to pair with Nowitzki, his former teammate on the German Olympic team, Kaman expected to be the full-time starter when he decided to come to Dallas. However, in large part due to his defensive struggles, Kaman has been demoted to part of a starting center committee, playing less than 10 minutes in eight games last month. Carlisle went back to Kaman as the starter for this road trip, and the former All-Star responded by averaging 14.8 points and 8.8 rebounds while shooting 57.1 percent from the floor in 22.8 minutes per game. Kaman has been honest about his frustrations, mentioning several times that he feels pressure as he prepares to be a free agent again. But he’s remained professional about his situation and proved during this trip that he stayed ready to play even while riding the pine. 對這位球齡十年的七呎老將來說，這個球季距離成功有一段不小的距離，原先預期場場先發和Dirk組成最強的內線攻擊組合，然而因為防守上的缺陷，Kaman被調離了先發陣容，上個月有8場球只打不到10分鐘。卡帥在這次客場之旅把Kaman拉回先發，他也隨即用場均 14.8分8.8籃板附帶57.1%的投籃命中率做回應。Kaman坦承對於自己的表現相當挫折，不只一次提到對於即將成為自由球員感到巨大的壓力，但他仍然保持敬業的心態面對這些，並證明他有所準備。 “They’re paying me money to play basketball,” Kaman said on the Mavs’ television broadcast. “That’s my job. … I’m here to do a job and be a professional, and that’s what I try to do.” Kaman might be on Portland’s payroll next season. His performance Sunday night at the Rose Garden probably reminded the Blazers’ brass why they were interested in the big man last summer. Kaman在小牛的電視頻道上說道：「他們付錢讓我打球，身為一個職業球員，我在這裡就是盡我所能做好份內的工作。」Kaman下一季很可能出現在拓荒者的陣容裡，前一場的表現大概提醒了拓荒者制服組為什麼去年夏天會對他有興趣。 A few more notes from the Mavs’ win that salvaged a split on the road trip: 一些客場之旅後的一些筆記： 1. Trix’s trip: Shawn Marion accomplished something on this trip he hadn’t done since March 2011: He scored 20-plus points in two straight games. Marion starred in the Mavs’ two wins to end the trip. He lit up the Kings for 25 points and 12 rebounds and followed that with a 20-point, seven-rebound performance in Portland. Marion was 20-of-31 from the floor in those two games. “Marion’s on a roll here,” Carlisle said. “He’s scoring, rebounding and making plays. He did a terrific job again tonight.” 1. 駭客之旅：香妹達成自從2011年3月之後就沒辦到過的事，連續兩戰得分超過20。香妹對國王拿下25分12籃板，對拓荒者拿下20分7籃板，總計兩場比賽31投20中，幫助小牛拿下二連勝。 2. Dirk’s difficulties: This was a tough trip for Dirk Nowitzki, who was as hot as he’d been all season when the Mavs left for their week away, having just torched the Bulls for a season-high 35 points on 14-of-17 shooting to carry the Mavs to a miraculous comeback win. Nowitzki averaged only 11.5 points on 40.9 percent shooting on the four-game trip. His production in the fourth quarters on this trip was particularly terrible: a total of one point, coming on a free throw well after the Mavs’ fate had been decided in their blowout loss to the Lakers. Nowitzki didn’t play in the fourth quarter Sunday due to a foot/ankle injury, which he suffered earlier in the game and the Mavs consider minor. 2. Dirk陷入低潮：在打出本賽季單週最佳表現後，Dirk在這段客場征戰打得相當掙扎，四戰平均只有11.5分投籃命中率40.9%，四場比賽的第四節更只有在對湖人的垃圾時間中靠罰球拿1分，前一場比賽因為腳踝的傷勢整個第四節都坐在板凳上。 3. Within a whisker of .500: For the third time in the last two weeks, the Mavs will have a chance to get back to .500 and earn the right to finally shave. But Vince Carter, one of the originators of the .500 beard pact, isn’t in any mood to discuss facial hair before the Mavs face the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. “Just win the next game,” Carter said. “That’s all I care about. If it entails having an even record, fine. I’m not going to talk about it. Just win the next game.” 3. 再一度向五成勝率叩關：這兩個禮拜第三次距離五成勝率僅有一步之遙，但VC已經不想再對刮鬍子表示什麼言論，VC只專注在拿下下一場比賽的勝利。 ============================================================================= 標題不確定怎麼翻才比較到位懇請板友賜教 Dirk前後兩個禮拜的表現有嚴重的落差小牛也和季後賽漸行漸遠從Kaman這一整年的表現來看德國雙塔的組合算是失敗收場 Dirk的搭擋還是得像拳王一樣的防守型中鋒吧 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 1.167.78.234
