Kings: Youngsters deliver in the clutch

國王們：年輕人們傳送在那離合器

When one rookie faltered, another was there to pick up the slack.

    有一個新秀差點就變戰犯的時候，另一個新秀跳了出來。

Omri Casspi missed two free throws with 17.1 seconds left in the game that
would have given the Kings a six-point lead.

    卡卡西在第四節剩17.1秒時兩罰盡墨。

His head was down, and things didn't look good after Oklahoma City's Kevin
Durant made a three-pointer to trim the lead to 99-98 with 4.5 seconds to go.

    死定了，而且接下來雷神王又幹進一顆三分球。

When another rookie had a chance to ice the game, he came through.

    還好有同梯跑出來相挺。

Tyreke Evans made two free throws with 3.5 seconds left as the Kings survived
27 second-half points from Durant to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 101-98
Tuesday night at Arco Arena.

    Evans 把兩顆罰球都搞定，沒讓情況糟下去。

Durant, who finished with 37 points, missed a three-pointer at the buzzer.

    不過我們還是差點被雷神王嚇死。

The win was Sacramento's third in a row, matching the longest winning streak
of last season.

    三連勝跟上季最長的連勝一樣。

The win also gave the Kings a 4-4 record. The mark hardly screams
championship contender at this stage of the season, but it was significant to
a team that hasn't played winning basketball in some time.

    五成勝率說要打冠軍戰太早了，但起碼是一個好的象徵。

The last time the Kings had a .500 record was Dec. 4, 2006 (8-8).

    上次五成勝率的時候，Bibby還在我們隊上呢。

The Kings relied heavily on their young players late in the game. Once it was
second-year forward Jason Thompson blocking a shot that would lead to a dunk
for Casspi and a six-point lead with 1:17 left in the game.

    小鬼頭軍團今天都打得不錯，JT的火鍋再搭上卡卡西的灌籃讓我們超爽的。

Then it was another second-year player, Donté Greene, coming off the bench
to harass the inbound pass by the Thunder on their final shot attempt.

    接下來又有一個年輕人叫Greene，他抄到了一顆球。

These Kings showed in one night they are picking up what new coach Paul
Westphal is teaching them about how to finish games.

    這些人展現了Paul教導他們的東西 - 怎麼去打完整場比賽。

"Learning to close out games is what this league is all about," Westphal
said. "First you have to learn to compete, and then you have to learn how to
win."

    「怎樣搞定第四節就是最重要的課題，首先是學習怎麼攪泥巴，接下來是如何去贏球
。」教頭說。

The Kings have played like this without leading scorer Kevin Martin the last
three games. Martin is out for at least eight weeks after surgery on his
broken left wrist.

    國王沒有KM還是贏。

Entering the season, the Thunder was considered a dark-horse playoff team.
And the Thunder trounced the Kings 102-89 in the season opener.

    雷霆本季有可能是匹季後黑馬，開季那場慘況大家應該都還記得。

Westphal believed before the season the Kings would be competitive and not
give in. And in the last three games that's proven true.

    教頭認為我們也有競爭力，這三場比賽就是證明。

"I think we're surprising many people in the NBA but not me," said Kings
forward Andres Nocioni. "We've practiced really, really hard. We had a great
training camp. I used to do the same thing when I first went to Chicago (in
2004-05). We went to training camp playing really hard, and we started the
season 0-9, but we started to play really well and we ended up with 47 wins."

    「科科，被嚇到了吧。我們從訓練營以來就超拼的，在芝加哥有一年也很慘，訓練得
很努力，但是開季0-9 ，結果是我們拿到了47勝。」好漢要提當年勇的Noci說。

Thompson had a double double in his fourth consecutive game with 21 points
and 14 rebounds. Evans added 20 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. He
also made all 10 of his free throws to offset his 5-of-16 field-goal shooting.

    21分14籃板，JT又大波大波。Evans有20分和八八坑道，更重要的是他十罰全中（雖
然說整體命中率很囧）。

Westphal also had high praise for third-year center Spencer Hawes (12 points,
eight rebounds, four blocks).

    教頭也稱讚本季被常被鞭的Hawes。

Nocioni had 16 points and also drew the task of defending Durant, who made
only 9 of 23 from the floor but was 18 of 18 from the foul line.

    Noci有16分，更重要的是他努力達成守雷神王的任務。

The Kings weren't known as a defensive bunch in recent seasons but held the
Thunder to 39.7 percent shooting.

    我們的防守並不好，但今天讓雷霆只有三成九七命中率。

Sacramento also dominated the rebounding battle, 51-36. It's another area the
team has sought to change from recent seasons.

    籃板也是難以想到的51比36。

Thompson said the Kings' ability to play tough defense late is just part of
what the 2008-09 Kings are about now.

    JT說現在的國王已經知道怎麼防守。

"This is a different team," Thompson said. "We have a different coach,
different system, different players, different mentality. It's just nothing
like last year, and that's good."

    「這是一隻不一樣的球隊。我們有不同的教練、系統、球員、素質。保證不像去年一
樣。」馬屁亂拍不用錢的JT說。
