Seattle, Nov. 24 (AP) -- Kevin Martin was getting it from both sides - Corliss
Williamson on one and Shareef Abdur-Rahim on the other - mocking his attire as
he faced a batch of cameras.

Martin被Abdur-Rahim和Corliss Williamson嘲笑著，因為他面對記者時的穿著不大得體。

When it came time to talk about Martin's play, his Sacramento teammates had
nothing but praise.

但當討論到Martin在球場上的行為時，所有的國王隊員都一致稱讚這小子的表現。

Knocking down long, open jumpers and scoring on difficult drives, Martin scored
a career-high 35 points in the Kings' 109-100 victory over the Seattle
SuperSonics on Friday night.

Martin用精彩的上籃及漂亮的三分球幫他拿下了生涯新高35分，也幫助國王以109比100擊
敗了超音速。

With Ron Artest back in Sacramento resting his aching lower back, Martin took
on an even larger chunk of the Kings' scoring.

當Artest因下背痛而先回沙城養傷時，Martin在得分上有了極佳的表現。

``I never go into a game feeling like I need to score big,'' Martin said. ``I
know I have a lot of veterans that can put the ball in the hole just like me.''

「我從沒感覺到我在比賽中要取得大量的比分。」Martin說：「我知道很多老資格球員都
可以和我得一樣多分。」

True, Martin got plenty of help, as six Kings scored in double figures. But no
one could slow the Kings' leading scorer, who was nearly flawless in the second
half.

沒錯，Martin的確得到不少幫助，因為總共有6位國王球員拿下兩位數的得分。但沒人比得
上這位在後半場有完美表現的國王得分領先者。

Martin made all five of his shots in the third quarter and seven straight at
one point in the second half, including three 3-pointers. Martin scored 24
after halftime as the Kings (6-5) snapped a three-game losing streak.

Martin第三節五投全中，其中包含三個三分球，還一度連得七分。Martin在下半場拿了24
分，也幫助國王中止了三連敗。

Martin Jump Shot: Made (16 PTS)                           7:28
Ridnour Turnover: Bad Pass (5 TO) Steal: Martin (1 ST)    7:15
Martin Driving Layup: Made (18 PTS)                       7:12
Martin Jump Shot: Made (21 PTS) Assist: Bibby (4 AST)     6:37

``He's taken a pretty big step,'' Sacramento coach Eric Musselman said. ``He's
going to keep getting better.''

「他今晚表現得真棒。」教練Eric Musselman說：「他必須繼續進步。」

Want proof? In Sacramento's loss to Utah on Wednesday, Martin disappeared in
the fourth quarter, going scoreless with guard Mike Bibby out with a thigh
injury and Artest ailing.

想要證明Martin為何要繼續進步嗎？在星期三輸給爵士的比賽，Martin在第四節消失了，
當Mike Bibby因傷退場和Artest身體不適時，他卻沒有站出來。

On Friday, Martin scored seven of the first nine Sacramento points to start the
fourth, extending a seven-point lead to 14. Martin was fouled shooting a
3-pointer and made each free throw, banked in a running one-handed hook from
just outside the low block and then scored over Mickael Gelabale for a 91-77
Sacramento lead.

Martin在第四節的開頭拿下國王隊9分中的7分，讓國王從原本的7分領先變到14分。在他投
三分被犯規時，他三罰全進。在Mickael Gelabale的防守下，一個勾射打板讓國王以91比
77領先。

``I had that in the back of my mind,'' Martin said of Wednesday's performance.
``I didn't want to have another night where I didn't score in the fourth
again.''

「我牢牢記住了那場比賽。」當Martin講到星期三的表現時：「我不希望有任何一個晚上
的第四節我完全沒有得分。」

Rashard Lewis led Seattle with 26 points, scoring 19 in the first half as
Artest's replacement, John Salmons, couldn't match up. Lewis made eight of 11
shots in the first half, but scored just two points in the third quarter as the
Kings took control.

Rashard Lewis拿下了超音速最高的26分，他在前半場拿下了19分，因為代替Artest的先發
球員John Salmons守不住他。Lewis在前半11投8中，但第三節他只取得兩分，而讓國王掌
握了這場比賽。

Luke Ridnour added 20 and Chris Wilcox scored 15 for Seattle (6-8), which fell
to 2-4 at home. Ray Allen scored 18 points - five in the final two minutes -
but missed 16 shots.

Luke Ridnour拿到20分，而Wilcox也有15分。但超音速在主場又吞下了一敗，而使主場戰
績變成2勝4敗（總成績6勝8敗）。Ray Allen拿到18分，其中有五分是在最後兩分鐘投進的
，但他今晚也失手了16球。
Seattle trailed by as many as 18 in the fourth quarter and only got within
single digits when Earl Watson hit a meaningless 3-pointer at the buzzer.

超音速在第四節最多落後達18分，直到Earl Watson的槍響三分才把分數差拉回個位數。

``Our defense was like a sieve tonight. We couldn't keep anybody in front of
us,'' Seattle coach Bob Hill said. ``We were a step behind them all night. It
was a bad performance.''

「我們的防守就像濾網一般任意的讓人穿透。我們跟本擋不住任何一個人。」超音速教練
Bob Hill說：「我們整晚都落後他們一截。這真是個糟透的表現。」

Bibby shook off his sore right thigh that knocked him out of Wednesday's loss
to Utah, and scored 19 points. Williamson added 13 and Kenny Thomas had 13
points and 14 rebounds.

Bibby擺脫了星期三對上爵士時讓他退場的右腿傷勢，拿下了19分，Williamson有13分，而
Kenny Thomas拿到13分和14籃板。

Salmons provided help offensively, scoring 10 of his 12 points in the first
half. Abdur-Rahim also scored 14 with eight rebounds for Sacramento. But the
story was Martin, who didn't miss in the second half until he bypassed an open
3-pointer, took one dribble and came up short on a 20-footer with 4:52 left.

Salmons在進攻上提供了不少能量，他在前半場拿下了他12分中的10分。Rahim拿到14分和8
籃板。但今晚是屬於Martin的，他在下半場剩4分52秒時才發生他下半的第一次失手，那是
一個空檔，而他運了一下球之後卻不能把這個20呎的跳投投進。

``I think he's just scratching the surface,'' Abdur-Rahim said. ``I don't think
he's close to where he can be.''

「我想這只是冰山一角罷了。」Abdur-Rahim說：「我認為他有潛力能表現得更好！」

Meanwhile, Allen struggled, going just 6-of-22 and missing six 3-point:
attempts. Allen went 15:13 of the second half between field goals, finally
breaking his scoreless string with a difficult reverse layup with 6:03 left.
Seattle trailed 97-81 at that point.

跟Martin比起來，Allen打得糟透了。他22投6中且失手6顆三分。Allen在後半場有長達15
分的時間沒有投進任何一球，他直到剩6分03秒時才有一個困難的反手上籃。而此時超音速
以81比97落後著。

Sacramento rotated Martin, Salmons and Francisco Garcia on Allen and flustered
the All-Star into his worst shooting performance of the season.

國王用Martin、Salmons、Garcia輪流防守Allen這位明星球員，並且讓他得到本季最差的
一次成績。

``I thought we did an OK job in the first half, but going from the third to the
fourth quarter, it just fell apart,'' Allen said.

「我們在前半場打得不錯，但第三節到第四節跟前半卻完全不同。」Allen說。

Notes: Artest's status for Saturday's home game against Portland was unknown.
... Seattle had 11 assists in the first quarter and just eight the rest of the
game. ... Martin's previous career high was 30, accomplished twice this season.

註：Artest無法確定是否能在星期六對上拓荒者時出賽。超音速第一節有11助攻，但接下
來只再傳出8個。Martin之前生涯最高是30分，兩次都是發生在本季。
