時間Tue Dec 22 00:41:03 2009
仍然提供一些關於新秀Clark的消息，讓關注他成長歷程的版友能對他的近況有所了解。
原文中一些關於LeBron James 造訪鳳凰城的消息我就不翻了，讓我們把焦點放在太陽新秀
Clark上。

Since starting the season on opening night with a 20 minute, 5 rebound, 6
point performance against the Clippers, Earl Clark has been on a downward
trend with both his performance and opportunities. The only exception came in
18 minutes of a blowout game in Minnesota where he was 6/6 and had a career
high 14 points.
自從在對快艇開幕戰上場20分鐘得到6分5籃板之後，Clark對球隊的貢獻與上場機會已經逐
減少。在最近Clark唯一爆發的比賽是在對灰狼時，六投六中得到生涯新高的14分。
For the season he's averaging only 3.1 points and 1.4 rebounds per game and
is shooting just over 40%. In his limited minutes of court time he seems to
be getting even more tentative and less confident as the season moves on.
本季他場均只有3.1分與1.4籃板，而命中率只比40%高一點。在有限的上場時間中，他看
起來比季初更加躊躇與沒有自信。
I asked Suns assistant coach Igor Kokoskov about Clark's recently play,
"Quick reminder for everybody, this is his rookie season. Transition,
learning about everything. Little adjustment is, he's got to be as a rookie a
couple of things you can control. You can control your preparation. Which
means keep yourself in shape. You have to know your plays and don't be in
foul trouble."
我（指記者）詢問了助教Kokoskov有關於Clark最近的狀態，Kokoskov表示：「大家要知道
這是他的第一個球季，除了環境的轉變外，還有各式各樣職業比賽的事物要學習。」
「首先要作的些微調整是，他必須要像一般的菜鳥一樣，先做好可操之在己的工作。例如
先做好上場的準備工作，保持比賽的體態，了解自己在場上要作什麼事情，也不要讓自己
陷入犯規的麻煩。」
Kokoskov went on to say that Clark is still thinking too much and struggling
with learning both the small forward and power forward position but Igor
feels he's making progress and is headed in the right direction.
Kokoskov認為Clark「想太多了」，而且於同時學習大小前鋒的技巧上有所挫折，但
Kokoskov仍然認為他還是走在正確的方向上，並逐漸的有所改善。
I specifically asked if Clark was putting in the time and effort to get
better, "You have to give him credit. He's coming before practice. He's
shooting a lot of shots. On days off he's putting some extra work in. It's a
process. We knew it wasn't going to be easy. "
我特別問到Clark是否真的有投入時間與努力去讓他自己變的更好？
Kokoskov表示：「你必須相信他。他早在規定的練習時間前就到球場了，他作了很多投籃
的練習，甚至在一般的隊內練習之後他還會增加訓練量。菜鳥狀態的起伏都是必經的過程
，我們都知道新秀的破繭而出並非一蹴可及。」
Clark was not on the floor after practice today but Tucker and Griffin were
working on catch and shoot situations with the assistant coaches and Dragic
stayed to work on some things with his personal coach from Serbia. Lou also
stayed late working on free throws.
在今日的練習結束後我並沒有遇到Clark，但Tucker 和 Griffin正在場上與助教練習
catch and shoot的工作。
而Dragic和他私人的塞爾維亞教練一同練習。(譯者註：他私人的塞爾維亞教練已經帶來了
一些成果，詳見
http://0rz.tw/p2KTq ）
而Amundson正練習著罰球。
With Dragic we've seen how much confidence the kid is playing with but he's
also now having more fun. I remember asking specifically about this in Vegas
during Summer League after the first game where he looked absolutely
miserable.
Now, he's a almost a different person. Joking around more and even giving
Grant Hill a hard time about something silly. After his extra workout session
today, Dragic was sitting on the chairs along the wall in the practice court
when a ball rolled over. He picked it up and launched it. Swish. So, of
course he had to try again. Swish. Twice in a row.
我們已經知道Dragic現在打的很有自信，不僅於此，Dragic現在可從比賽中獲得更多的樂
趣。
我記得他在夏季聯賽第一場比賽後看起來狀況很糟糕，但現在他看起來像是一個完全不同
的人。Dragic現在不僅談笑風生，甚至還開玩笑惡搞Hill。
在他今日的額外練習後，Dragic坐在球場倚牆的椅子上，恰好有球滾到他座邊，他撿起球
並投籃，伴隨著「唰」的清脆進籃聲，球進了，他興頭來了，又在同一位置再投一次籃，
「唰」一聲又進了，連續兩次。
Then I got out my cell phone to film his next attempt and he joked about
putting it on You Tube. Of course, he missed the next few but you can get the
idea from this clip.
然後我拿出手機想要拍下他的第三次投籃，Dragic打鬧著說：「要把它放到YouTube喔！」
當然，年輕人就是年輕人，接下來幾球都投失了，或許我們可以為這投失的幾球想個標題
放到YouTube上，是吧？
