Spurs notebook: Joseph making most of fill-in time for Parker
Joseph填補了大部分Parker缺塞的殘缺時間

There are times Cory Joseph wakes up in the morning and still can’t believe
his fortune.
即便是現在，Cory還是會時常早上醒來時，有點不相信發生在自己身上的好運。
A few weeks ago, the second-year point guard was toiling in the comfortable
anonymity of the Development League, honing his still blossoming skills away
from prying eyes.
幾周前，這名二年級生還在沒太多名氣的D-League努力打球，並高興者自己的球季逐漸成
長，而不需要苦坐在一旁看者其他人表現而偷偷學習新技術。
Now Joseph is starting for the Spurs, in the pressure cooker of a desperate
fight to hold off Oklahoma City atop the Western Conference.
但現在，Joseph已經是馬刺先發了，頂者極大壓力嘗試協助馬刺贏得每一場勝利，也不讓
雷霆隊搶下西區第一。
The enormity of filling in for injured All-Star Tony Parker could be enough
to break a 21-year-old. Joseph has been determined not to let it.
因為Parker受傷而看似對馬刺陣容產生的巨大的洞，卻被這一位才21歲的Joseph填補了。
Joseph自己也早已決定不讓Parker受傷的影響擴大。
“I try not to let it get to my head,” Joseph said. “I try to just go out
there and do my job.”
Joseph說：「我嘗試不讓這件事情(Joseph有效填滿Parker空缺)進入我腦中，我只是嘗試
盡自己最大努力，達到他人對在這位置(先發控衛)的要求。」
Set to make his sixth consecutive start for Parker tonight against Dallas,
Joseph — a former University of Texas standout — has fallen squarely into
the “solid if not spectacular” category.
今晚馬刺仍會讓Joseph擔任他連續第六次的先發，而過往從德州大學畢業的Joseph決定「
即便數據不好，也要打好防守」這件事。
He has not been the driving force behind any of the Spurs’ three victories
without Parker. Nor has he been the difference in two lopsided losses to
Portland and Minnesota.
馬刺在Parker缺賽至今比賽勝負為三勝二負，在三場勝利中，Joseph在進攻上的貢獻並不
多，大輸的兩場比賽也沒太多進攻上的表現。
“He’s not going to be Tony Parker,” coach Gregg Popovich said. “Cory’s
solid. He gets us into our sets. But we don’t expect him to score like Tony
does.”
Popo說：「Joseph不會成為Parker，Joseph的防守很硬，他(的控球)也的確能夠讓我們場
上球員更進入狀況，但我們不會以對Parke在進攻得分上的要求來要求他。」
Joseph is averaging 8.8 points and 2.6 assists in his five starts, while
shooting 58.6 percent. He has committed only six turnovers during a period in
which ball security has been a teamwide issue.
在這五場Joseph擔任先發的數據：8.8分2.6次助攻，命中率為58.6%。而這五場比賽因為
缺少Parker的控球，場上隊員學習如何在沒有控球後衛的協助降低失誤時，Joseph才繳出
6次失誤的佳績。
Joseph, a first-round draft choice in 2011, was a rare bright spot in the
Spurs’ 107-83 defeat at Minnesota on Tuesday, going for a career-high 15
points.
在2011年第一輪選秀被馬刺選上的Joseph，在周二輸給灰狼隊的比賽中，也繳出生涯新高
的15分。
Though Joseph would never wish an injury on another player, he acknowledges
personal gain from Parker’s extended time on the shelf.
雖然Joseph未曾希望馬刺隊上其他球員受傷而得以讓自己被叫上NBA，但他的確也感謝因
為Parker受傷而開啟自己上場的機會跟時間。
“It’s been very big,” Joseph said. “I’ve been trying to fill in, not be
like Tony but be myself. Play hard defense. Run the offense. Just try to give
my team that spark.”
Joseph說：「這很棒，我嘗試讓自己填滿控球後為這塊空缺，也許不是像Parker的方式帶
領馬刺，而是以我自己的方式協助球隊。打硬防守，跑進攻。我只盡自己最大努力來球隊
表現更好。」
Give it away now 忘記這件事吧
The Spurs committed 17 turnovers against Minnesota, good for 30 Timberwolves
points.
馬刺對灰狼的比賽，馬刺17次失誤直接等同讓灰狼多了30分進帳。
For the season, the Spurs are averaging 14.6 turnovers per game, 12th-most in
the NBA.
以本季而言，馬刺平均每場失誤14.6次，是全NBA排名第12多的球隊。
“It’s been a point of emphasis for us all year,” guard Danny Green said. “
Every time we speak, we talk about defense and taking care of the ball.
(Turnovers) allow teams to get back in the game, or win the game.
Green說：「失誤對我們而言，是一件一整年都一直在被強調的事情。每次我們說要打防
守，降低失誤，就有辦法讓我們重新找回狀態，並贏得比賽。」
“We hurt ourselves with turnovers.”
「對灰狼這一場比賽，簡單講，失誤擊敗我們自己了。」
The Big 5-0
The Spurs are one victory away from extending their NBA-record streak of
consecutive 50-win seasons to 14. The Los Angeles Lakers own the league’s
second-longest streak, reaching 50 wins in 12 straight seasons from 1979-90.
每季贏球場數達50場以上的最佳紀錄，目前仍有馬刺隊保持到第13季，本季目前為止也已
經來到49勝，只剩一個勝利就可以將這記錄繼續延伸到第14季。上一個這樣的紀錄保持者
則是1979至1990年的湖人隊，連續12季贏球場數達50場以上。
The last time the Spurs failed to win 50 games was 1999, when the regular
82-game slate was shortened to 50 because of the lockout. The Spurs went
37-13 that season, good for a .740 winning percentage.
最近一次馬刺在該季沒有贏到50場以上的年份，已經要回溯到1999年，但該年是因為封館
事件，造成正規賽季從82場降低到50場。該季馬刺最後勝負場次分別為37勝13負，勝率約
為0.74(換算為82場也是贏得60場以上)。
