Spurs notebook: Second unit’s grit changes outcome 副手的力量改變了結果 From http://goo.gl/iFprI By Mike Monroe, Staff writer Spurs guard Gary Neal hadn’t played more than 9 1/2 minutes in a game in almost three weeks. Gary Neal已經有大約三週都沒上場超過9.5分鐘以上。 So he sat in front of his locker, ice bags on both legs, for a while after logging 25:38 in a 105-93 victory over the Thunder and savored the feeling of fatigue. 不過今天不太一樣,因為Neal在剛才對雷霆的比賽上場達25分38秒,賽後Neal坐在休息室 中,雙腳仍泡在冰塊桶內,慢慢地降低雙腳的疲倦。 The third-year guard from Towson was part of a second unit that helped put together one of the Spurs’ most dominant second quarters of the season. San Antonio, down 32-22 after the first quarter, outscored Oklahoma City 35-18 to take a 57-50 lead at halftime. 這位從Towson大學來的三年級生後衛,已經是馬刺副手之一,也曾經在本季多場比賽協助 馬刺在重要的下半場扳回頹勢或抱持領先。以今天這場比賽而言,第一節結束時,馬刺以 22:32落後10分,但接下來第二節打出35:18的攻勢,倒讓馬刺以57:50領先7分的情況,進 入中場休息。 By game’s end, Neal had scored seven points and handed out a team-high six assists, happy his sore left calf felt right for the first time in a long time. 比賽終了時,Neal繳出7分及6助攻(馬刺隊最高),Neal心裡也慶幸這些日子以來一直疼痛 的左小腿今天幸好還可使用。 “Twenty-five minutes, it’s been a while, man,” he said. “I’m glad it was a good 25, though.” Neal說:「25分鐘耶,我真的是好一陣子沒上場那麼久了,儘管如此,我還是很高興在這 25分鐘有好的表現。」 Neal had begun the season as the primary backup to All-Star Tony Parker at point guard and played some at the point against the Thunder. His approach was simple. Neal在本季開始時,被設定為擔任控球後衛Parker的第一替補。他在對雷霆的這場比賽的 確有部分時間是擔任控球後衛,Neal處理的方法很簡單。 “… For the most part, just not turn the ball over,” he said. “You limit your turnovers and stay with an aggressive mindset, and the shots will come. I got up seven tonight, but I was mainly trying not to turn the ball over. Against a great team like OKC, turnovers can lead to transition dunks.” Neal說:「以大部分時間而言,不要發生失誤就差不多了。你必須限制自己的失誤,並且 保持積極心態,出手機會自然會輪到你。今晚我雖然得了七分,但大部分時間我其實都在 保持讓自己別發生失誤。面對一個強隊如雷霆,一個不小心的失誤往往變成對方快攻灌籃 的結果。」 The Spurs’ bench outscored the Thunder’s reserves 34-16, a significant factor in the team’s 49th victory of the season. Boris Diaw scored 11 points on just five shots. Manu Ginobili scored 12, but he needed 11 shots. 相較於雷霆的板凳繳出16分貢獻,馬刺的板凳球員們攻下34分。這是馬刺取得本季第49場 勝利背後的一個關鍵因素。例如:Diaw的5次投籃攻下11分,Manu的11次投籃攻下12分。 Team captain Tim Duncan lauded the second unit’s second-quarter grit. Duncan也稱讚副手們的努力。 “We weren’t in sync with what we wanted to do,” Duncan said. “On top of that, they were making every open shot they got. That didn’t help. We just stuck with it. It was great to see the tide turn and us to turn up our aggressiveness. The second squad came in, changed the tempo for us and took control of the game.” Duncan說:「我們(主將)今天的表現不如預期,但副手們卻把握每一次投籃的機會得分。 如果沒有他們的協助,我們應該會身陷泥沼。很高興看到馬刺逆轉,也很高興我們一直保 有我們的積極進攻性。副手們一上場,就改變了場上節奏,並逐漸控制局勢。」 Another mistake-free outing 另外一個少失誤的球員 Making his fourth start since Parker exited the lineup with a left ankle sprain, Cory Joseph had his second game without a turnover. He has only three turnovers in the four starts. 從Parker進了傷兵名單後,這一場是Cory Joseph的第四場先發,並且已經是第二場完全 沒有任何一次失誤情況。在他這四場先發中,Cory Joseph也僅繳出三次失誤。 “He’s just solid,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “He gives us solid minutes. He played good defense. He’s scrappy and aggressive, and he’s doing just what we ask him to do.” Popo說:「他很穩定,也提供我們穩定的情況,他的防守也很棒,積極咬住對方並嘗試逼 迫失誤,他將我們要他作的發揮得很好。」 Neal, who began the season as Parker’s primary backup, appreciates what Joseph has been able to do under the pressure of replacing Parker. 原本設定擔任Parker第一替補控衛的Neal,也感謝Cory Joseph的表現讓他減輕取代 Parker的壓力。 “To be able to come up from the D-League, get the team into the offense and not turn the ball over and played some tough defense, keeping his man in front of him, we can’t ask much more,” he said. “He’s doing a great job.” Neal說:「能從D-League被叫上來,一定有他的實力在,如果能讓馬刺團隊保持進攻,不 失誤,並且打好幾個關鍵防守,持續狠狠釘住他該防守的人,我想我們認為Cory Joseph 在這幾件事情上已經作得夠好了。」 mikemonroe?@express-news.net Twitter: @Monroe_SA -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 129.255.225.118
