The way it usually happens is a 7-footer's exercise in stealth. Nuggets center
Marcus Camby rarely gets the challenge straight up, so he roams.

我們可以常常看到一位七呎長人埋伏籃下，伺機而動。很少有人勇於直接挑戰他，
所以金塊隊中鋒Marcus Camby選擇等待時機。

And players swooping in for layups, turning in for jumpers and slashing for
floaters all get rejected.

敵方球員切入急襲；不管是選擇急停跳投，或是想當飛人，只能看著球被煽回禁
區外。

Repeatedly.

而且屢試不爽。

"He's my lifeline," Nuggets guard Steve Blake said. "He's the best guy I've
played with that has your back on defense."

金塊後衛Steve Blake：「他是我的救命線，他是我遇過在防守方最能夠讓你安心
的球員。」

On this Nuggets team, Camby is everyone's lifeline. He is the last line of
defense on a team that so often has needed it. He leads the NBA in blocked
shots and is among the league leaders in rebounding.

在防守不佳的金塊隊，Camby是每位球員的救命線。他是這支球隊防守端最後一
道防線，也常常是隊友依賴的對象；現今NBA火鍋王，也是籃板好手之一。

But his finish has awed observers

但是他球季尾聲的表現，更讓專家們吃驚。

In April, Camby has averaged 11.2 points, 13.7 rebounds and 4.8 blocked shots,
making him a strong candidate for the NBA's defensive player of the year award.
During the month (nine games) he has posted five or more blocked shots four
times, including at least seven in three consecutive games from April 9-13.

四月份平均數據11.2分、13.7個籃板球、4.8顆火鍋，Camby這樣的表現讓他角逐
今年年度最佳防守球員的競爭力大大提升。本月九場比賽，Camby有四場煽五個
火鍋以上；四月九日到十三日的連續三場比賽，他更是每場至少七個火鍋的表現。

Since he has been in Denver, coach George Karl called Camby's past six weeks
"the most consistent period of time that he's played well." "I think he should
get votes (for defensive player of the year)," Karl said. "I definitely think
he should get votes. If you're talking about the last six weeks, I'd definitely
say, yeah. His defense in the last four, five, six weeks has been pretty
incredible."

教練George Karl把過去六個禮拜Camby的表現，稱作是自從他到丹佛以來，
『最能保持穩定、優良表現的時期』。Karl表示：「我認為他應該得到支持，成為
年度最佳防守球員。毫無疑問，他真的應該受到這樣的肯定。如果我們討論過去六
個禮拜的防守專家，我更加確定沒有第二人選，他最近四週五週或六週的表現真是
棒極了。」

Voting for that, and all NBA awards, ends Thursday.

包括最佳防守球員的其他NBA年度獎項投票，將在禮拜四結束。

"The last two years, I've made all-defensive second team," Camby said. "So one
of my goals this year was to actually make the all- defensive first team. So
hopefully that can happen."

Camby說：「過去二年我都入選防守第二隊，所以今年我的目標之一，就是入選第一
隊。我希望可以成真。」

But Camby's most surprising number: 70.

然而Camby最令人驚訝的數字是『七十』。

He has been valuable to the Nuggets because he has played. Despite injuries
to his finger, groin, knee and back, Camby has started 70 of Denver's 81 games.
For the 11th-year pro who has been labeled an injury-prone player, that is no
small feat. He has played at least 70 games only one other time in his career -
2003-04, which was his second season with the Nuggets.

對金塊隊來說，Camby一直都很有價值，因為他可以上場做出貢獻。儘管為手指、
鼠蹊部、膝蓋、背部的傷勢所擾，本季目前八十一場球賽，Camby為金塊隊先發了
七十場。對這位NBA征戰十一年，被貼上玻璃腿標籤的老將來說，這可不是一件小
小的功績而已。他生涯裡只有另一年可以出賽至少七十場，2003-04球季，也是他
加入金塊的第二個球季。

That alone has made Camby reliable.

這讓Camby更為可靠。

"He really does make my job easier," Blake said. "And everybody else's job
easier."

Blake說：「他真的讓我的工作更簡單，也讓其他隊友的工作更簡單。」

Camby's season hasn't been without its adjustments. The midseason trades
altered nearly everyone's role and his was no different.

沒有Camby的適應能力，他的亮麗球季就不會存在。季中的大交易幾乎影響了每位球
員的角色，Camby也不例外。

"I think Marcus had a period of time where he was kind of searching for where
his role was, where his identity was. In the last four or five weeks, he's
found it," Karl said. "He's dominant at the defensive end of the court. In this
offense he's going to get enough offensive touches. And he knows how valuable
he is.

老爹表示：「我認為Marcus曾有一段時間在尋找自己的角色、定位。過去大約四或五
個禮拜之後，我想他找到了。他在防守端扮演主宰者的角色；進攻端可以參與進攻，
因此他知道自己的價值所在。」

"We as coaches feel that third guy is the reason we win. And Nene helps us out
there, Marcus helps us out there. Having three studs a night is very difficult
to defeat by most teams in the NBA."

「我們教練團認為，有第三人挺身而出是贏球的原因。Nene或是Marcus都可以幫我們
贏球。一場比賽有三個人撐起大局，不管對哪隻NBA球隊來說，要打敗這樣的隊伍非
常困難。」

Camby, who has three years left on his contract, never has won the NBA
defensive player of the year award, but admitted that this season "it crossed
my mind a little bit."

還有三年合約在身的Camby，從來沒有得到年度最佳防守球員這項殊榮，但他承認
本季這樣的表現，讓他的腦海裡閃過了最佳防守球員的念頭。

"I don't really see who else has been putting in the work that I've been
putting in on the defensive end," Camby said. "If you add up all of the things
that I bring to the table - rebounding, blocking shots; for a guy my size I
take charges, I'm always on the floor. I do a lot of hustle plays out there.
So I think all of that embodies what I think the award really is."

Camby表示：「我沒看到有哪位球員，真的像我這樣為防守盡心盡力。如果你把所有
大個兒的工作加起來，我可以擺出籃板、火鍋的成績；而我總是在場上負責看守像我
這樣高大的球員，我上場就是拿出拼戰精神，把這些組合起來、具體化，這就是我心
目中的最佳防守球員。」
