Home or road, black shoes or white, no change is big enough to shake
the Jazz's winning streak. They have won with Andrei Kirilenko and
without, by taking big leads and falling way behind. They've worn
light blue, dark blue and white uniforms, dominated in the paint
and hit three-pointers, practiced in the the Delta Center and played
in EnergySolutions Arena, all in the same day - and still won, won,
won.

主場或客場，黑鞋子或白鞋子，這些改變都不足以阻止爵士隊一連串的勝利。
他們有AK在也贏，沒有AK在也贏，領先很多當然會贏，先輸一海票最後也贏。
穿淺藍色球衣贏，深藍色球衣贏，穿白色球衣也贏，在禁區跟三分線都狂轟猛
炸，在 Delta 練球，在 EnergySolutions Arena 比賽，反正不管怎樣都

                  汪汪汪（贏贏贏）。


"No stopping us when we play like this," Deron Williams said the
 other day, and at 11-1, it's getting rather difficult to argue
with him. "We don't even think about all [the changes]."

Maybe not, but he might notice the next change. Because it could
come in the starting backcourt.


Kirilenko, his sprained right ankle now pain-free, will likely return
 to the Jazz lineup tonight when the Jazz face the Lakers , though
Jazz coach Jerry Sloan hasn't decided how to use the lanky forward yet.
 "I'll have to see Andrei play," Sloan said. "Maybe he's better coming
 off the bench. I don't know where he's at right now."

Eventually, though, Kirilenko figures to reclaim his starting role.
When the time comes, the simplest move would be to return Ronnie Brewer
to his reserve role. But the rookie has made obvious strides since
 becoming a starter, averaging 9.2 points in those five games.

"His energy level seems to be pretty high right now," Sloan said. "He
 seems to want to work hard in practice, and that's important. [The
 extra playing time] has helped him, I think so."

Which raises the possibility of leaving Brewer in the starting lineup,
But simply shifting him into the backcourt alongside Williams. "He
can do it. The positions are basically the same," said Sloan, though
the coach would not betray any hints about his lineup plans.

But as C.J. Miles would be the first to admit, the Jazz are off to
their best start ever with only four starters making a reliable impact.

『像這種打法，沒人阻止的了我們』Deron Williams 在某天說道，當他們
有11-1的戰績時你實在很難去跟他爭辯這一點，『我們從不去為這些改變而
煩惱』

也許他該注意到下一個改變了，因為這可能影響到先發的後場。

Kirilenko，他的右腳踝現在不會痛了，在今晚對上湖人隊的比賽中可能會
上場，不過Sloan教練還沒決定怎麼去運用這個消瘦的前鋒，『我得看看他
打的怎樣，也許他可以從板凳出發，我不確定如何作比較好』。

終於，Kirilenko 可以爭取回到先發的位置，當他回到先發名單時，最簡單
的作法就是讓 Ronnie Brewer 回到板凳上去，但是這個菜鳥在最近幾場先
發時表現有大幅躍進，這五場比賽每場可以拿下平均9.2分，『他現在火力
全開』Sloan說道『他在練習中非常努力，這很重要，我想較多的上場時間
的確對他有幫助』。


除了把 Brewer 從先發名單中移除之外，還有另外一種選擇，那就是把他排
到後場的 Williams 旁邊，『他辦的到，這些位置基本上是相同的』Sloan
說道，不過他沒洩漏出他對於今晚先發陣容的計畫，Miles可能優先被考慮，
爵士隊的先發陣容事實上只有四名球員比較可靠。


Miles responded brilliantly to Sloan's surprise decision to make him
the starting off-guard, hitting four of five shots on opening night,
and scoring 17 points in the season's third game. But he has managed
just 19 in the nine games since. Miles opened the season by making 11
of his first 20 shots, but he is 9-for-40, and 0-for-9 from three-point
range, in the meantime. His second-year shooting percentage of 33.3
percent has now slipped below his rookie-season showing of 36.8.

And worst of all?

"That's not the problem," Sloan said.

The Jazz can obviously thrive without points from Miles, as the best
record in the NBA demonstrates. But the coach is concerned that Miles
is becoming distracted by his shooting problems. By all accounts,
Miles is among the deadliest shooters in practice, but has yet to
prove it regularly during games.

And lately, Sloan said, "he has a tendency to let that interfere with
 the other parts of basketball. There's a lot more going on out
there than just shooting the ball."

He's talking about defense, mostly. Like allowing Kevin Martin to
shoot 6-for-7 while Miles was on him Wednesday in Sacramento. Or
not registering a steal in his last three games.

"He's got to learn how to play without [thinking], 'Am I getting
shots?' " Sloan said. "If he makes them, he seems to be OK. If he
misses them, he's still got to play. So he's got to learn how to
play through that."

雖然 Sloan 非常令人訝異的在開幕戰排上 Miles 為先發後衛，但是他表現
得相當傑出，開幕戰五投四中，接著在第三場比賽得了17分，不過接下來的
比賽他卻只拿了19分，在這個球季他最先二十球就命中了十一球，不過接下
來卻四十投九中，三分線更是糟糕的九投零中，他第二個球季的命中率已經
降到 33.3%，比他的新人球季 36.8 還糟糕。

這很要命吧 ?

『這一點都不成問題』Sloan 說道。

『他還很容易受到其他事情的干擾，在球場上除了投籃還有很多事情要作』，
Sloan 指的是防守，在面對國王隊的比賽時，Miles 負責看守的 Kevin
 Martin 七投六中，同時他已經連著三場比賽沒有抄截。
『他得要學著不要在比賽的時候想東想西，例如我這球有沒投進之類的』
Sloan 繼續說道『如果他投進了，看起來他會很不錯，如果沒進，他還是
得繼續比賽，所以他要學習如何在場上更專注些』。

Miles disputes not one word of his coach's analysis.

"I've been so hard on myself, because I'm my worst critic, that
I start to get tight out there, getting nervous about everything,
" the second-year guard said. "The last two games, I've definitely
been doing that to myself. My shot hasn't been falling and I've
been putting so much pressure on myself."

His minutes have dwindled as a result; Miles hasn't played more
than 16 minutes in the past four games. But the 19-year-old pro
intends to change his approach to whatever minutes he gets this
weekend.


"I've been down on myself so much, sometimes I've been passing
up shots I can hit if I just shoot the ball. When I was making
shots, I wasn't thinking about it," Miles said. "So now I'm just
going to play basketball, try to get some of the easy stuff. Just
try to crash the boards, try to get a steal or two, do some of
the stuff that'll get me going."

It's just like the Jazz's recent pattern of falling behind, then
coming roaring back. Miles remains confident that the rally is
at hand. "I'll come back around, don't worry," he said. "I've been
in slumps before."

Miles 對於教練的分析虛心接受 ( 難道他敢反駁嗎 ?? )

『我對我自己的期許很高，因為我是個對自己吹毛求疵的人，我在場上變
得緊繃，而且對什麼事情都神經兮兮，過去兩場比賽，我就是這樣對待自
己，我老是投不進，然後對自己的壓力越來越大』這位二年級生說道。

所以他在場上的時間越來越短，Miles 在最近四場比賽上場時間都沒超過
16分鐘，但是這個十九歲的職業球員打算在這個週末作點改變，不管上場
多久。『我過去太壓迫自己了，我放棄很多我應該可以投進的球，而通常
如果我投的進的話我根本不會想那麼多』他說道『所以現在我只要專注在
籃球上，試著讓事情更簡單，試著衝進禁區，抄幾個球之類的』。

就好像這次從客場凱旋而歸，Miles 將變得更有自信：『別擔心！
I’ll be back! 畢竟我也曾經這麼糟糕過』。

翻譯這篇文章的時候實在很有親切感.

以前在比賽的時候最常告訴同隊學弟的話常常就是 " 不要想太多. 搥下去就是了 "

或者是想法子在場上搞笑來抒解隊友在場上緊繃的壓力..

在比賽時，壓力真的對臨場表現的影響超大 ~~



話說回來，我本來是看了標題好像是在講 AK 我才翻譯的..

奇怪怎麼沒幾行是提到他 @@
