[外電] Kings compliment Terrence Williams’ v

[eliczone (C'est la vie)]

Terrence Williams participated in his first practice as a Sacramento King
Wednesday.  The third-year small forward signed a 10-day contract after being
released by the Houston Rockets last Friday.
TW在禮拜三參加了加入國王後第一場練習。

“He looked good,” said veteran big man Chuck Hayes, who played with
Williams in Houston last year.  “He looked real good.  I’m not surprised by
his talent; I’ve seen it all last year.
「他看起來很棒，他看起來真的很棒，我不驚訝他的天份，去年我就見識過了」海爺說

“The guy can play,” Hayes added.  “Just hope he gets the opportunity.”
「這孩子是能打的，只希望他有機會表現」海爺再說。

Williams said he got the chance to display his versatility off to his new
teammates.  Hayes, who is an adept passer, thinks Williams might now be the
Kings’ best facilitator.
TW說他有機會向他的新隊友們展現他的多才多藝。海爺是個很不錯的傳球者都認為TW現在
可能會是國王最佳的發動者。

“He sees the floor better than anybody probably on our team,” Hayes said.
“Not to knock anybody on our team, but that’s just one of his greatest
strengths, is find the open man and create for other people.”
「他綜觀全場的能力可能比我們隊上的任何一個人都還要好，並不是看衰任何人，而是那
是他長處之一，找尋有空檔的人和替其他人創造空檔」海爺說

Williams’ versatility may also translate to the defensive end.  Heralded as
a player capable of defending multiple positions, Williams credits his speed,
athleticism and willingness to take on any challenge.
TW的多功能可能也會轉化在防守端。也有能力守多個位置，他以速度、活動力和守多個位
置著稱。

“You gotta be willing to chase the two off the screen,” said Williams,
describing his mindset on defense.  “You gotta be willing to bang with the
three on the block, and you gotta be willing to contain the point guard full
court.”
「你必須願意閃過擋人去防守，你必須願意去用火鍋來阻擋三分投射，你必須願意全場防
守PG」TW在說他的防守概念。

Selected 11th overall in the 2009 NBA Draft by the New Jersey Nets, Williams
has had a rocky start to his career.  Before he was traded to Houston last
year, the Kings small forward was demoted by the Nets to the D-League for
repeated tardiness to practices, shootarounds and meetings.
在講他的過去。

However, head coach Keith Smart has given Williams, like he gave DeMarcus
Cousins earlier this season, a clean slate.
而聰明哥也像對表弟一樣，既往不咎。

“You know I could sit here and talk to you in the face about what happened
and what didn’t happen,” said Williams, grateful for the fresh start the
Kings have offered him. “But at the end of the day I just want to play
basketball.  If I have a fresh start here where I can do that, then I’m all
for it.”
「你知道我可能會坐在這裡當面跟你談過去發生了什麼，沒有發生過什麼，但到最後我還
是只是想打籃球。如果我在這裡能有個全新的開始，我會全力以赴」TW很感激國王給他重
新開始的機會。

Marcus Thornton and the trade deadline

Before their current three-game win streak, the Kings had lost three in a row
and guard Marcus Thornton was playing some of his worst basketball.
 Coincidentally, the trade deadline was just around the corner and the Kings
guard thought he was on the block.
在三連勝之前國王三連敗，MT的表現可能是生涯最差。很巧合的是，交易截止日就在不久
後，MT認為他在交易名單上。

“I remember coming in trade deadline day,” said coach Smart to media
following practice.  “He said coach, ‘What time is it?’.  And I said ’
12:30′.  He said, ‘What time is it out east?’  I said ‘Is that what this
is all about? Is that what you had been thinking for over a week?’”
「我記得在截止日那天，他說教練幾點了，我說12:30，他又問說東岸是幾點？我跟他說
就是這個？這就是你這禮拜一直想的事嗎？」聰明哥說。

Before the deadline, Thornton averaged just 10 points and shot 31.2 percent
from beyond the arc in the Kings’ three-game skid.  Since then, he’s scored
30 or more points and shot above 50 percent from deep in two of the Kings’
 last three games.
在截止日前，MT三場平均只有10分，三分命中率31.2%。自從那之後，他得了三十分以上，
而且三分命中率高過50%。

“It was just trade deadline,” said Thornton, who added that a cold
contributed to his poor play last week.  “Everybody gets cautious at the
trade deadline.  It was on everybody’s mind.  But that’s over with.  It’s
a new week, new day, glad to be a King.”
「就是交易截止日。每個人都很在意，但都過去了，又是個新的一週，新的一天，很開心
能夠身為國王人」MT說。

Additional Notes

Will Tyreke Evans start at small forward against the Utah Jazz?  “He knows
that the spot is his and he doesn’t lose it to injury,” said Head Coach
Keith Smart  “But if he chooses to continue to do that (come off the bench),
then we’ll do that.  It’s all up to him.”
reke對阿爵時是否會先發？聰明哥說看他自己。

In addition to Chuck Hayes, Terrence Williams has ties to several of his new
teammates.  He and Isaiah Thomas both hail from the state of Washington.
 Like Francisco Garcia, he played his college ball at Louisville.  He and
Tyreke Evans were both drafted in 2009 and worked out together in preparation
for the draft.
除了海爺，TW也早就認識了許多他的新隊友。他和IT都是從華盛頓州來的。Cisco是他在
Louisville的大學長。09年他和reke一起試訓。

Hassan Whiteside has been putting in extra work after each practice and
shootaround.  The Kings second-year center has been spending substantial time
with big man consultant Clifford Ray.  And before addressing media, head
coach Keith Smart also spent some extra one-on-one workout time with
Whiteside Wednesday.
白邊一直在練習和投籃練習後做額外訓練。他花了許多時間和Clifford Ray在一起。而且
在面對媒體前，聰明哥也花了額外的時間和白邊一對一訓練。
