Hill, Mason boost Parker-less Spurs
Roger Mason Jr. spent most of last summer in Miami, which was no day at the
beach. He worked with a personal trainer, hired at his own expense, waiting
for his moment to come.
Mason 去年暑假大半時間都待在邁阿密,但他沒在陽光沙灘上花時間。他與私人訓
練師 — 用他自己的錢 — 共度時光,並等待他的時機到來。。
At about the same time, 1,200 miles away in his hometown of Indianapolis,
George Hill also was working out, and also waiting.
與此同時,相隔1200哩之遙的印地安納波里 — Hill的家鄉 — Hill小弟也做了同
樣的事,他也等了下去,等待他出頭的一天。
When their moments converged Friday night at the AT&T Center, with Tony
Parker out and the Spurs needing to win anyway, both players were prepared.
當星期五那晚Parker因傷缺席,而馬刺必須得贏的比賽到來時,他們都已準備好把
握住他們的機會了。
Hill had 18 points and five assists while starting at the point, while the
inconsistently used Mason provided 17 points and a huge fourth-quarter boost
as the Spurs outlasted Memphis 104-97.
先發控衛Hill得了18分5助攻,而控球有點抖的Mason貢獻了17分,並且在馬刺以104-
97勝過灰熊的關鍵第四節中起了重大的作用。
“You've just got to stay ready,” Mason said. “Injuries are a part of the
game. We've got more opportunity out there. You have to try to capitalize.”
「就是要隨時待命」Mason說。「傷病是比賽的一部份。我們從這當中得到更多表現
的機會。就是要懂得利用它。」
With the young and surging Grizzlies threatening late, Mason did the
capitalizing. He had 11 points — and three of his four 3-pointers — during
a 41/2-minute stretch of the fourth that helped the Spurs finally silence
Memphis.
隨著近來火熱的灰熊大軍席捲而來,Mason的確辦到了。他在第三節到第四節的20.5分
鐘之內得了11分 — 包含他4投3中的三分球 — 幫助馬刺贏得這場勝利。
Hill capitalized, too. He slid from shooting guard to Parker's point guard
slot, replacing him in the lineup and in the box score.
Hill也把握住了機會。他由SG改擔任Parker的控衛之職,不僅僅在名單上取代了他,
在分數盒上他也辦到了。
“Tony's aggressive, so we have to make up for that aggressiveness,” Hill
said. “Without Tony, my main focus was to try to be aggressive, try to get
people involved and play basketball.”
「我小哥打球很兇,所以他不在時我們要打得跟他一樣兇」Hill說。「小哥不在,我
的首要任務就是變成進攻模式,讓大家融為一體打球」
Tim Duncan had 19 points and nine rebounds to lead the Spurs, who survived
O.J. Mayo's 28-point onslaught to win their second in a row.
Duncan以19分9籃板獨佔頭功,讓馬刺從O.J. Mayo 28分的濫轟爛炸中挺了過來,
贏下他們連勝的第二場。
The victory, which came nearly two weeks after the up-and-coming Grizzlies
(25-20) had bounced them in Memphis, helped the Spurs (27-18) continue to
right themselves after an 0-3 start to the homestand. That it came with
Parker sidelined served only as icing.
這場勝利是從最近兩星期來冉冉而升的灰熊隊(25W-20L)手中拿下的,算是報了在曼
斐斯輸球的一箭之仇,讓馬刺(27W-18L)從主場3連敗中回穩過來。在Parker缺席的情
況下還能贏球真舒服。
“It's important with him out that everyone picks up their game,” coach
Gregg Popovich said. “Especially at the offensive end.”
「重要的是在他缺席的情況下,大家都能打得有模有樣」Popovich說。「尤其是進
攻方面」
As he worked out in Miami months ago, honing his point guard skills and his
defensive chops, Mason figured there would be more moments like Friday. He
had played well last season, his first with the Spurs, and naturally expected
an enhanced role this season.
當他數個月前在邁阿密訓練時,他磨練控球後衛的技巧,以及他的防守腳步,Mason
認為總有一天派得上用場 — 不僅於今天。他去年打得不錯 — 他在馬刺的第一年,而
自然而然地期待今年會更好。
Instead, Mason has found himself in the job once inhabited by Brent Barry —
the sharpshooting perimeter player whose minutes swing like a pendulum. He's
averaged about 19 minutes this season, down from 30, and has had trouble
falling into a groove.
相反地,Mason他發現他變成Barry的腳色了 — 上場時間不固定的DoRoRo化射手。他
今年場均19分鐘的上場時間 — 去年場均30分鐘 — 而且還陷入低潮。
Making matters worse, Mason is in a contract year.
更慘的是,今年是他的合約年。
“I'd be lying if I said it's not tough,” Mason said. “I look at it as a
challenge. There's not many guys in the league that can play well in those
circumstances. I'm just looking to do what I can.”
「說我不在乎那是騙人的」Mason說。「我將之視為挑戰。在這種處境中全聯盟沒多
少人能發揮得好。我只希望能夠盡我所能」
Logging some time behind Hill at point Friday, Mason found his way to 27:49
of playing time — his longest stint in nearly a month. He came up biggest in
crunch time, unleashing the kind of blink-and-you'll-miss-it flurry that
seemed to define his first season in San Antonio.
今晚在Hill下場時,肩負控衛的Mason在27+分鐘的上場時間中 — 他最近一個月來上
場最久的一次 — 找回了自己的狀態。在緊要關頭時,他表現最為亮眼,解開封印化身
成沒心臟的男人 — 就像我們去年所認識的那個Mason一樣。
Friday, Mason's shooting display was part of a 42-21 edge in bench scoring
the Spurs enjoyed.
今晚,Mason的表現是馬刺引以為傲的板凳戰力的一部份 — 42比21分。
“This team was built for depth,” Mason said. “A guy goes out, other guys
have to step up.”
「板凳深度撐起這支球隊」Mason說。「某個人缺席的話,其他人就必須上緊發條」
Unlike Mason, Hill — a second-year player — has been a fixture in the
rotation for much of the season. Still, Parker's absence altered his
responsibilities, too.
不同於Mason,二年級生Hill已經是輪替名單上的固定班底。儘管如此,Parker的缺
席也影響到他在場上的責任了。
Hill had logged many of his minutes lately next to Parker at shooting guard,
rather than behind him. That role changed with a roll of Parker's ankle
Wednesday against Atlanta.
Hill最近是與Parker一同上場的得分後衛,而非他的替補。隨著在星期三射老鷹時
Parker的踝傷,要扮演的角色也就變了。
He responded against Memphis with a Parker-like game and an uncommon poise.
他在對灰熊的比賽中打出了"Parker式"的比賽,而且相當的沉穩。
“He's still a young player, who is getting more and more aggressive,”
Popovich said.
「他還年輕,他將打得越來越富有侵略性」Popovich說。
The seeds for Friday's victory were not sown overnight. They were planted in
Miami and in Indianapolis, months before, with a pair of second-year Spurs
separately working, and waiting for a moment.
播下星期五這場勝利的種籽不是偶然。這是他們兩個馬刺的二年級生,早在幾個月前
在邁阿密與印地安納波里所種下的努力,並等待其開花結果的那天。
(要怎樣收穫,先怎樣栽!)
