[外電] 7-footer Hawes bulks up to be Kings' inside guy

[eliczone (C'est la vie)]

The player on the Kings roster who's at least 7 feet tall hasn't been
renowned for playing big in the paint.
國王的中鋒一向不在禁區討生活。

But with an extra 10 pounds on his frame, Spencer Hawes is looking to dispel
the notion he can't outmuscle opponents on the inside.
但Hawes今年增重10磅，打算不再讓別人看衰小。

Hawes, who is 7-foot-1 and listed at 245 pounds, wants to become the strong
inside presence for the Kings this season. It's been a focus for Hawes since
the end of last season.
他7'1 245磅，想要在這季變成國王內線的依靠。這是自從上個賽季結束後Hawes一直的目
標。

"I think that's a role I need to embrace and a void I need filled so it's
something I need to keep working on every day," Hawes said.
「我想這是我應該去做的角色，而且是我應該去填補的空缺，所以我必須每天在那上面做
功課」

Hawes spent the offseason focusing on getting stronger. He's already
demonstrated he can score from the perimeter.
Hawes整個季外都著重於變壯，他已經證明了他可以在外圍得分(老兄...你是中鋒)

The third-year pro has already noticed he can get away with more with the
extra size.

"It feels a lot different," Hawes said. "Being able to bully guys a lot more
and get to where I want to go, especially down low."
「感覺很不一樣，能夠去欺負別人，到我想要去的地方，尤其是禁區」

Coach Paul Westphal said hard work and nature (Hawes is only 21) have
contributed to Hawes' improved strength.
西佛說努力和天份是Hawes進步的原動力。

Westphal, however, doesn't want Hawes to abandon his outside shooting.
然而西佛說他不希望Hawes放棄他的外圍跳投(......你是認真的嗎.....)

"Our offense calls for a lot of interchanges where you might be down low in
one part of the offense and if you don't get the ball you gravitate up to the
top and someone else comes in low," Westphal said. "There are plenty of
opportunities for everybody, both perimeter and in the post if they can get
open."
「我們的進攻很多元，也許有時候你會在禁區，拿不到球時就往上走，其他人就往下走，
每個人都有很多機會，只要他們有空檔，不管是在外圍還是禁區」

Hawes is looking forward to testing his strength in Thursday's exhibition
game against the Los Angeles Lakers in Las Vegas.
Hawes正在期待對湖人時要大展身手。

Hawes missed the Kings' exhibition game last Wednesday against Portland when
the left ankle he'd sprained in practice days earlier began bothering him
again.
Hawes之前都缺陣。

"It's not healing as fast as I'm used to but that's all right," Hawes said.
"The positive thing is it's feeling better and better every day. It doesn't
look like it's going to be anything major. I'm impatient with stuff like that
but you've just got to wait it out and let it take its course."
「不像我過去好得這麼快，但一切都不要緊，正面的是每天感覺越來越好了，看起來沒什
麼大不了的，我沒什麼耐心，但你也只能靜觀其變」

============================================================
Hawes不要嘴炮啊，盡量往裡面打，越兇越好，先嚇嚇他。

推 RonArtest93:他跟greene問題一樣  不是不能在外投 而是本分要
→ RonArtest93:顧好 譬如30%在外投  70% 就要積極向內打
