1.Highlight: The Jazz beat the Heat 打敗熱火

If any game made fans feel like it was the good old days, it was Utah's victory
over the defending NBA champions on Feb. 8.
如果要挑一場讓球迷感覺像史馬年代的比賽，那就是2/8打敗總冠軍-熱火的勝利了。

EnergySolutions Arena looked like the formidable fortress that it used to be,
rather than the sea of empty seats it has been for much of this season. Marvin
Williams led the Jazz with 23 points on 9-of-15 shooting, including 5-of-8 from
behind the arc.
能源方案球場如往日般讓敵人聞之色變，本季通常空空如也的坐位坐滿觀眾，馬文投15中9
，得23分，其中三分球投8中5。

Utah's defense was the star of the night as the Jazz held LeBron James to a
season-low 13 points on 4-for-13 shooting. The Heat's big three of James, Dwayne
Wade and Chris Bosh scored a combined 45 points while they average 62.4 points
per game.
阿爵固若金湯的防守是整晚的亮點，讓LBJ得分創本季新低(13分)，投13中4，熱火三巨頭加
起來45分也低於平均的62.4分。

That win was certainly a welcome oasis in last season's howling desert.
這一勝如同在沙漠中碰到了綠洲!!


2.Lowlight: 1-14 start 開季一勝十四負

Utah couldn't have gotten off to much of a worse start. There were even
rumblings when the team lost its first eight games that the Jazz may go 0-82.
忘不了這難堪的開季，頭八場輸輸去時，還有人說我們會0勝82敗。

That of course didn't happen, as the squad got in the win column with a home
victory over New Orleans, and Utah rebounded from the poor start to play near
.500 ball in the middle portion of the season.
當然那最後沒成真，11/13主場幹掉鵜鶘，季中也曾快接近五成勝率。

Still, this was an ominous beginning to what has been a tough season. Utah was
outscored 100.3 to 88.5 in its first 15 games and gave up 100 points or more in
nine of those contests.
當然，這樣的開季諭示了不祥的兆頭，頭十五場得分是100.3比88.5，遠遜於對手，其中九
場比賽失分達100分以上。


3.Highlight: Jerry Sloan's banner-raising ceremony 榮耀教皇

How fitting was it for legendary head coach Jerry Sloan to raise his banner with
Karl Malone and John Stockton there with him?
把教皇史龍旗幟並列在老史、老馬旁看起來是不是很讚?

Rather than go with any number Sloan wore as a player, Utah fittingly chose
"1223" for Sloan's banner. That's the number of wins Sloan racked up over his
illustrious career.
不選用教皇球員時期背號，而是"1223"勝做為號碼，這是教皇輝煌一生累積而成的數字。

That ceremony brought back memories of when Sloan roamed the sideline while
Stockton and Malone rocked any opponent that dared play at the Delta Center.
It was a welcome reminder of great years gone by.
這場儀式讓人回憶起教皇在邊線指揮若定，史馬二人在Delta Center跟對手奮戰的好時光。

Sadly, the Jazz weren't able to win against Golden State to make it a perfect
night
但可惜的是，阿爵輸給了勇士，沒能成為完美的一夜。


4.Lowlight: No clear-cut leader 沒有領導人
(這則影片不錯，講黑蛙的出手跟命中率下滑)

Heading into the 2013-14 season, it appeared there were two youngsters the Jazz
would lean on for leadership: Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors.
本季很明顯地，就是要讓黑蛙跟肥佛扛下領導大任。

Both have had made their presence felt on the stat sheet and have taken over at
times, including when Hayward scored Utah's final 17 points in a shocking win
over Oklahoma City in early January. Hayward led the team in scoring, and Favors
led the Jazz in rebounding and had 25 double-doubles this season.
他們有時會跳出來接管比賽，像贏雷霆那場黑蛙就包辦最後的17分。球隊平均得分第一也是
黑蛙，肥佛則在籃板跟雙十榜居首。

Yet neither player was the consistent, reliable leader this young team needed
when the rough times hit. Hayward's shooting touch would get away from him at
times, and at other times it felt as if Favors had disappeared. Too often,
veterans like Richard Jefferson and Marvin Williams were the team's emotional
leaders; for the Jazz to improve, that needs to change.
但這兩位都不是這隻年輕球隊在艱苦時刻下可依靠的領導者，黑蛙有時手感奇差，有時也會
覺得肥佛消失了。時常是RJ跟馬文兩位才是領導者，為了阿爵的進步，這需要變革。

Utah chose not to extend Hayward's contract and he will be a restricted free
agent this offseason. If he were to leave, the leadership mantle would again
need a willing player to fall upon, though the expectation would be it is Favors
team. Could he step into the role next season?
黑蛙合約不獲得延展，將成為受限自由球員。如果黑蛙離開，那領導重任將落在肥佛身上，
他能夠一肩扛起嗎?


5.Highlight: Gordon Hayward steals Kevin Durant's Thunder 黑蛙偷走了雷霆

Kevin Durant was unstoppable against the Jazz on Jan. 7, as he dropped 48 points
on Utah at EnergySolutions Arena, but Gordon Hayward found a way to steal a win
from Durant and the Thunder. Hayward put the team on his shoulders as he scored
Utah's final 17 points to ensure a shocking 112-101 win over Oklahoma City.
KD在能源方案球場無人能敵，獨拿48分，但黑蛙盜走了勝利，最後17分一人扛，最後112-
101獲勝。

The Jazz outshot the usually red-hot Thunder 58.8 to 39.3 percent. While the
Jazz couldn't keep Durant from scoring big numbers, they did hold him to 3-for-
13 shooting from behind the arc.
這場阿爵命中率58.8%比39.3%，雖無法防住KD，但至少讓他在三分線投13進3。

Oddly enough, some fans consider this game a lowlight. Of course, those are the
fans that wanted the Jazz to tank at all costs.
很怪的是，有些球迷覺得這場是lowlight，當然，這些球迷都是要阿爵tank at all cost
(應該是要觀念，多輸幾場)

6. Lowlight: Twitter battles amon... 球迷的推特大戰

With talented college freshmen like Jabari Parker, Andrew Wiggins and Julius
Randle, among others, who could opt for the NBA this summer, there has been
much hype that this could be a top-heavy draft. Wiggins and Parker have declared
for the draft already, and Randle could follow suit.
有這麼多新鮮貨Parker, Wiggins....，且兩人也宣布棄學。

That prospect made tanking a popular fan subject — there's even a "tanking for
Wiggins" website — including Jazz fans. Twitter became a hot spot for Utah
supporters to share hopes that their team would struggle and earn a better shot
at a top draft pick.
所以超級新人讓球迷想要"觀念"，居然還有"為Wiggins觀念"的網站-包含阿爵迷。推特上有
很多阿爵迷發願要阿爵打爛點取得高順位。 http://www.tankingforwiggins.com/

Of course, not all Jazz fans felt losing would benefit the Jazz, and debates
became commonplace.
當然，不是所有的阿爵覺得輸球會帶來好處，所以爭辯司空見慣。


7.Highlight: Trey Burke shines as a rookie  菜鳥TB閃閃發亮

While Trey Burke's season got off to a late start due to a broken finger, the
Jazz couldn't have asked for much more from the rookie from the University of
Michigan. It's no coincidence that the Jazz won just one game while Burke
recovered.
TB開季因指傷缺陣，阿爵因此不能仰賴這密西根大後衛。而他傷癒歸隊後阿爵終於旗開得勝
，這絕非巧合。

Burke was a solid contributor with 12.5 points and 5.6 assists per game. He
still has some work to do on shooting as he's making just 37.8 percent from the
field. That said, he's come through for the Jazz in clutch moments, such as his
three-pointer to beat Orlando on March 22.
TB數據為12.5分 5.6助攻。但在37.8%命中率上還要下點功夫。在關鍵時他會更加重要，
如同3/22對魔術投進致勝三分球。

Burke will likely be a first-team NBA All-Rookie selection, and his future is
bright. The season could have been a lot worse without Burke's clutch moments.
他應該能進新人第一隊，前途一片光明，這季沒TB將不堪設想。


8.Lowlight: Giving up 119 points in home finale to Lakers 被湖人豪取119分

Speaking of tanking, that word permeated the conversation about Utah's home
finale against the L.A. Lakers on Monday. This wasn't your typical Jazz-Lakers
matchup, as the winner of the contest would lose ground in the "tanking"
standings and lessen its chances at grabbing one of the top draft picks.
講到"觀念"，這詞瀰漫在周一對湖人的主場最後一戰。這不是爵湖的傳統好戲，因為贏家
會在"觀念"上輸掉選秀位置。

The game itself was filled with little to no defense, as the teams were tied at
86 heading into the final period. And from there, Utah was dominated by the team
 from Los Angeles. The Lakers scored 16 of the first 17 points of the fourth
quarter and Nick Young, aka "Swaggy P", scored a season-high 41 points to send
Jazz fans home for the final time this year with a sour taste in their mouths
in a 119-104 loss.
這場比賽不太防守，尤其當戰到86平後，第四節前17分有16分是湖人的，Nick Young也得了
41分，讓阿爵們心酸酸的回家。

It was an unceremonious end to the home season for the Jazz, who went 4-21
overall since the final day of February.
這樣收尾不值得慶賀，尤其阿爵二月後的戰績是4勝21負


9.Highlight: Alec Burks puts it together as Utah's sixth man 最佳第六人Burks

Alec Burks has become an indispensable sixth man for the Jazz this season, as
he's stepped up his game in just about every way this season. Burks is second
on the team in points per game, with an average of 14.0. He's become better at
knowing when to drive, when to shoot and when to pass.
Burks是阿爵不可或缺的第六人，得分榜第二位，他也越來越知道何時該切、該射、該傳。

The Jazz couldn't ask for a better spark from off the bench. Too bad they don't
have more like him.
但阿爵板凳也找不到其他人了，可惜沒更多的Burks

10.Lowlight: 32-point road loss vs. Hawks 客場32分慘敗給老鷹

Just five days before Christmas, Utah headed to the South to take on former
Jazzmen Paul Millsap, DeMarre Carroll and Kyle Korver. It was the team's first
time facing Millsap since the 2006 Jazz draft pick signed with the Hawks.
耶誕節前五天，作客米爺等老隊友的家。這也是米爺這位06年阿爵選秀球員轉隊後第一次
對上老東家。

Millsap, Carroll, Korver and Atlanta made quick work of the Jazz, ensuring the
road team wouldn't be enjoying the reunion. By halftime, the score was 55-34 in
favor of Atlanta, and the Hawks — with all three former Jazzmen in the starting
lineup — cruised to the win.
但米爺很快的讓阿爵洗洗睡了，中場比分是55-34，讓三位前隊友在老鷹先發陣容輕易
取勝。

Millsap put up a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Atlanta
outshot the visiting Jazz 52.3 percent to 37.2 percent from the field.
米爺14分10籃板。團隊命中率也以52.3%遠勝阿爵37.2%


11.Highlight: Jeremy Evans shows that he can do more than just dunk 直升機證明
他不只能灌籃

Jeremy Evans' almost superhuman dunks are highlights in and of themselves. Just
check out this high-flying jam against the Pelicans.
直升機的灌籃都是好球剪輯的焦點。看他對鵜鶘的影片就知道。

He's done well as a rotational player this season. In 18 minutes per game,
Evans is averaging 5.9 points and 4.6 rebounds. He averaged just 2.0 points and
1.6 rebounds in an average of 5.8 minutes per game. He's taken a big step toward
becoming a more well-rounded player.
他當替補表現還算不錯，上場18分鐘，5.9分 4.6籃板。上季他上場僅5.8分鐘， 2分 1.6
籃板，已進一步成為個更全面的球員。

That said, his jams make highlight reels any day.
又說他能上Highlight...

12.Lowlight: Triple-double given up to Kevin Love 讓Love大三元

Jazz brass declared the franchise's future would be built on defense, making it
a tough pill to swallow knowing that the team ranked 17th in the NBA in scoring
defense.
阿爵說未來必重防守，而本季防守失分榜也名列17名。

On Feb. 22, Kevin Love tore through the Utah team on both ends of the floor at
EnergySolutions Arena. That night, the T'Wolves big man, who has made a career
of putting up impressive statistics, reached a new milestone: his first
triple-double.
但2/22 Love在能源方案球場大肆肆虐，拿下生涯第一次大三元。

Love collected 37 points, 12 rebounds and a career-high 10 assists in leading
Minnesota to the 121-104 victory. He scored 22 points in the third quarter to
keep any hopes of a Jazz rally at bay and hit six 3-pointers. He completed the
triple-double with a long outlet pass to Corey Brewer, who then made a layup.
Love得37分 12籃板 10助攻，第三節得22分，投進六顆三分，再以一計助攻給Corey Brewer
完成大三元。


13.Highlight: Derrick Favors pushes Jazz past the Lakers with a putback jam 肥佛
關鍵補灌

There's no way to end a close game with more of an exclamation mark than
Derrick Favors' put-back jam against the Lakers on Dec. 27.
12/27對湖人比賽，沒有其他的play能比肥佛的補灌來得更為驚嘆。

After Hayward missed the go-ahead layup, Favors made sure that the ball found
the hoop after grabbing the offensive rebound by throwing down the hammer.
Just watch for yourself.
在黑蛙上籃沒禁後，肥佛添上保險，抓下進攻籃板灌進兩分。

It was certainly the highlight of the year for Favors.
這定是這球季肥佛的Highlight

14.Lowlight: The play of Brandon Rush and Andris Biedrins   Rush與Biedrins...

During the offseason, Utah made several cost-cutting moves to prepare for the
future. Among them was a salary-dumping trade that brought Richard Jefferson,
Brandon Rush and Andris Biedrins to Salt Lake City.
休季期間，阿爵為重建做了幾項交易，清出薪資空間迎來RJ、Rush、Biedrins等三人。

While Jefferson played a big role in the Jazz's season this year, the other
two did not.
雖然RJ本季扮演很重要的角色，另兩位就不是這樣了。

There was hope Rush could help Utah's outside shooting; instead, the oft-injured
guard played in less than half of the team's games this season and averaged just
2.1 points per game. He hit just 34 percent of his 3-pointers and hasn't played
in a game since March 30.
曾盼望Rush能添增外圍火力，卻又因傷本季上不到41場比賽，平均僅2.1分。三分球命中
率34%，且3/30後就沒出賽。

Biedrins, meanwhile, is already out of a Jazz uniform, as the center was waived
by Utah in early April to make way for rookie big man Erik Murphy on the roster.
Biedrins played in just six games for the Jazz this season.
Biedrins也褪下阿爵球衣，四月初釋出改換Erik Murphy上來，一共只出賽六場比賽。
