[外電] Miller's figures add up to four

For at least a year now, the buzz around the Kings has had more to do with
the potential trade talks than anything actually taking place on the floor.
這一年多以來，國王交易的流言大部分都只是說說而已。

It has been a nonstop game of who-should-stay-and-who-should go? - with the
talk almost always about Ron Artest and Mike Bibby.
就像是無止盡地去留遊戲。 總是圍繞著Ron & Bibby

Brad Miller being wanted on the trade market?
大米想要出去闖闖嗎？

Too expensive and too much on the decline added up to few takers, those around
the league would say.
太貴和退化得太快一直是一個大問題。

To which Miller can now respond in his favorite country drawl: Y'all spoke
too soon.
但現在大米可以對他們嗆聲說：話不要說得這麼早

The Kings' first four-game winning streak this season came with yet another
sensational outing from their resurgent center Saturday night at Arco Arena,
where the 105-101 finish over Chicago might have left Miller's old team wishing
he were wearing its red and black jersey again before the trade deadline.
當國王在Arco Arena以105比101擊敗公牛，贏得本季第一次四連勝時，大米的老東家希望
他在交易截止日前再一次穿上紅黑球衣。(免肖想)

With 22 points and 20 rebounds, Miller had his second 20-20 outing in the
past three games after never hitting the mark in the first 610 games of his
career. The feat was a first in the Kings' Sacramento era. The last Kings
player to hit the 20-20 mark twice in a three-game span was Sam Lacey of the
Cincinnati Kings on Jan. 8 and Jan. 14, 1971.
22分20籃板，大米在近三場比賽第二次拿到20-20，而在他生涯的前610場從來沒有過。
這是國王在Sacarmento時代的第一次。上一個國王球員在三場比賽中有這樣子表現是辛辛
那提國王的Sam Lacey，在1971年的1月8號和14號。

And it all came against the team with which his career first began to rise.
Miller was never a regular starter until he was signed by Chicago in 2000,
where he earned a reputation as a hard-nosed, energetic big man who eventually
disappeared. He is, by all appearances, back inevery way.
在和公牛簽約之前，大米還沒有過一個完整的球季；而他在公牛贏得了冷靜、有活力的大
個子封號，後來變軟了。但現在大米回來了！！！

"Brad Miller should be up for Most Improved Player of the Year," Kings coach
Reggie Theus said. "I don't know why I'm not looking at him every night on ESPN."
帥哥教練說「大米應該被提名為年度最佳進步球員，我不了解為什麼沒有辦法每天晚上在
ESPN看到他」。

Kings shooting guard Kevin Martin went campaigning for another award, that
being the NBA's Player of the Week. Not for himself, of course, but for Miller.
KMart也在旁邊幫腔，替大米爭取當週最佳球員。

"If Brad doesn't get Player of the Week, then I just have nothing else to
say," said Martin, who had a team-high 26 points on 8-for-12 shooting. "The way
he's been playing all week is just incredible."
「如果大米沒有拿到當週最佳球員，那我也沒有什麼好說的了」「這整個禮拜他真的是表
現得不可置信」而KMart自己也得到26分

In one of the Kings' sloppiest wins of the year, they shot just 38.1 percent
from the field and committed 16 turnovers. They worked around the off nights of
Bibby and swingman John Salmons, too, as the duo was 3 for 19 combined from the
field.
這場贏得不是很漂亮，只有38.1的FG，而且有16次失誤。BB和鮭魚兩個人合起來19投只中3。

Even through the struggles, they managed to avoid the sort of meltdowns that
hindered the ever-frustrated Bulls.
但是最後還是經過了努力，避免被牛群踩死

The team that entered the season with hopes of an Eastern Conference title
exited the game having lost four of its last five to fall 10 games under .500.
Chicago's previous loss might have been its worst, as the Bulls fell by 16
points to lowly Minnesota and managed just 67 points.
公牛本季本來滿懷著希望要拿下東區冠軍，輸了這場比賽後，近五場已經輸了四場，使得
近十場的勝率低於5成，上一場敗仗也許是公牛輸得最慘的一場，輸給灰狼16分，且全場只
得67分。

They had nearly that many in the first half Saturday, trailing 63-60.
禮拜六的時候，上半場只輸3分。

Yet the cumulative effect of it all showed in the third quarter, when Ben
Wallace, Ben Gordon and Tyrus Thomas received technical fouls as the pace
changed and the Bulls won the period 17-15. The Kings started the fourth
quarter with an 8-3 run to go up 86-80 with 9:07 remaining but didn't find
security until Artest provided the finishing touch.
累積的效應一次在第三節爆發，當大班、狗登和TT被吹T的時候，牛群的步調改變了，第
三節比數為17比15。第四節一開始國王以8:3的攻勢取得86:80的領先，但並沒有因此而安
心，最後靠著阿泰的致命一灌而大勢抵定。

With 40 seconds remaining, Artest shot past Bulls rookie forward Joakim Noah
on the right baseline and ripped a righthanded reverse dunk for a four-point
lead. Artest had a team-high 28 points.
剩下40秒，阿泰從右邊底線越過菜鳥Noah來個反扣，國王4分領先。阿泰奪得28分。

Wallace, like everyone else, was outplayed badly by Miller, finishing with
just nine points, nine rebounds and three turnovers.
大班，和其他人一樣，在大米面前都抬不起頭來，只拿了9分，9籃板和3次失誤。

Miller also had four assists, four steals and two blocks.
而大米另外還有四次助攻，四次抄截和兩個火鍋。
"It just feels good to win right now, and that's all I care about," Miller
said. "Life is good for me right now."
「現在贏了感覺很好，我也只關心這個」大米邊吃斑龍丸邊說「對我而言，現在很棒」。
