[外電] Humphries helps Dallas Mavericks down Memphis, 114-107

 Of all the key acquisitions the Dallas Mavericks made over the summer, Kris
Humphries' arrival barely caused a ripple.

Yet less than two weeks into training camp, he's provided some of the biggest
tidal waves, not to mention one of the biggest dunks.

The 6-8 forward has been the surprise of training camp. Apparently, he
shocked Memphis' Zach Randolph, too. Humphries blew past the Grizzlies'
forward twice for drives to the basket, including a thunderous two-handed
throw-down that lit up the crowd and was the memorable play of the Mavericks'
114-107 win Sunday night at American Airlines Center.

It's becoming routine to see Humphries making quality contributions. He had
16 points and nine rebounds (five offensive) in 21 minutes against Memphis.

"He's been very consistent," coach Rick Carlisle said. "He's got an
all-around game and he's physical. He's been playing well since we got him in
the trade. ... Look, there's still a long way to go, but he's making a strong
case that he's deserving consideration for some playing time."

Humphries is coming off a broken leg that sidelined him most of last season.
For that, he was somewhat of an unknown quantity coming into camp.

Not anymore. His rebounding and physical play have served him well.

"He's been multidimensional since we tried to recruit him at Kansas," center
Drew Gooden said of the former Minnesota Gopher. "We're on the same page,
especially when that ball goes up. We're like two football players trying to
get offensive rebounds."

Indeed, Gooden and Humphries combined for eight of the Mavericks' 13
offensive boards. Humphries came into camp not knowing what to expect. But
he's quickly carving a niche for himself.

He said hard-nosed play is how he hopes to find minutes on the court.

"Everyone wants to play," he said. "That's why you work hard. You got a lot
of guys who are thirsty to play. I'm no different. I just want to come in and
be a guy who gives energy and runs the floor."

Balancing act: Quinton Ross has averaged 20 minutes per game in his five-year
NBA career. He knows doing so with the Mavericks this season won't be easy.
Ross, like all players, wants to play as much as he can.

Unlike a lot of players, he knows that coming to a quality team might mean
fewer opportunities than when he was with a lottery team like the Grizzlies
were last season.

"You always want to play," he said. "But at the same time, you always want to
win, too. It was tough last year, but I got an opportunity to play and
display my skills. Hopefully, with this Maverick team, I can keep battling
and get some minutes."

Briefly: Shawn Marion sat out most of the second half after his calf muscle
tightened up. He missed the preseason opener last week with the same injury,
but Marion said postgame that it was not serious. ... Carlisle was
disappointed in the Mavericks' first-quarter defense. "Defensively, we were
horrible to start the game," he said. "I keep talking about defense and our
activity is not yielding the kind of results we need." He added that after
the first six or eight minutes, the defense improved, citing 26 deflections
in the first half.




Humphries熱身賽表現驚奇

Carlisle表示他相當的持久

他很全面

也很硬

Humphries本人表示

大家都想打球

我也不例外

我來到這裡就是希望能盡力表現

Marion下半場肌肉有點緊崩

所以下半場下來休息

另外Ross表示他也希望有足夠上場時間

他會盡力表現去爭取
