ATLANTA (AP) -- The Phoenix Suns are two wins away from an unprecedented sweep
of their regular-season tour of the Eastern Conference. Amare Stoudemire is
playing as if he's planning on more road success against the East in the
postseason.
    亞特蘭大訊 -- 鳳凰城太陽只要再連下兩城就能締造在例行賽於東區作客大獲全勝的
空前紀錄，而阿罵的表現就好像他早已做好準備要在季後賽至東區作戰時率隊拿下更多的
客場勝利一樣。

Stoudemire scored a season-high 43 points and the Phoenix Suns improved to 13-0
in road games against the Eastern Conference, beating the Atlanta Hawks 115-106
on Sunday night.
    星期六晚上阿罵攻下本季新高的43分，太陽以115比106擊敗亞特蘭大老鷹，將作客東
區的戰績推進至完美的13戰全勝。

The Suns have visits left at Indiana on Tuesday and Philadelphia on Wednesday
as they try to become the first NBA team to sweep its interconference road
schedule.
    太陽的東區客場之旅剩下星期二在印第安那及星期三在費城兩場比賽，而他們正嘗試
成為有史以來第一支在跨聯盟客場賽程橫掃對手的NBA球隊。

Overall, the Suns have won 22 of their past 25 road games after an 0-4 start
away from Phoenix.
    整體而言，太陽自從季初客場四連敗後，25場的客場賽事中一共贏了22場。

Stoudemire added 16 rebounds, three blocks and six assists. He made 15 of 17
free throws.
    阿罵另外還抓下16個籃板、送出3記麻辣鍋並遞出6次助攻。罰球部分也有17投15中的
超水準演出。

"He's a beast," said Atlanta's Josh Smith, who traded powerful jams with
Stoudemire in the third period but couldn't keep pace with the Suns'
high-scoring center.
    "他簡直就是隻破閘而出的野獸，"在第三節和阿罵互飆劇力萬鈞的灌籃秀但最終仍無
法與太陽隊那位得分效率超高的中鋒並駕齊驅的J.Smith說。

"He attacks the rim hard," Smith said. "He doesn't stop. No matter how you
defend him, he comes back for more."
    "他很奮力地衝擊籃框，"Smith說。"他不會停下腳步，不管你如何防守他，他都會回
敬你。"

Stoudemire scored 18 points in the first quarter and was the major reason six
Atlanta players finished with four fouls.
    阿罵在第一節就攻下了18分，而他優異的表現正是這場比賽中老鷹隊一共有6名
球員留下4次犯規紀錄的主因。

"They were sending guys, two or three guys double-teaming me the whole night,"
Stoudemire said.
    "他們一直派人來防守我，一整晚隨時都有兩到三名球員在包夾我，"阿罵說。

"I just took what the defense gives me. There are some stretches when I don't
score, other players do. And I have no problem with that. We're just trying to
play team basketball. Take it down the stretch."
    "不管對方怎麼防守我，我都會樂於接受。當然會有某些時候我會沒辦法得分，但會有
其他人接下得分重任的，而我對於這種情形沒有什麼意見。我們就是在嘗試要打出團隊籃
球的球風，並且一直維持下去。"

Shawn Marion had 21 points and Leandro Barbosa added 19 for the Suns. Steve
Nash had 14 points and 13 assists as he kept looking for Stoudemire, who made
14 of 25 shots from the field.
    Matrix攻下21分而Barbosa也為太陽貢獻了19分。S.Nash除了持續為全場出手25次命中
14球的阿罵尋找空檔時所送出的13次助攻之外也得到了14分。

"When he's playing like that, you just have to keep feeding him and get him the
ball as much as possible," Nash said.
    "當他像那樣打球時，你只要持續把球餵給他並且盡可能增加他拿球的機會，"Nash說
。

The Hawks allowed 38 points in the opening quarter, but recovered with a strong
second period and briefly took the lead in the fourth quarter.
    老鷹在第一節就被太陽攻下38分，但在第二節強勢的表現之下逐漸追回失分，並且在
第四節初曾經短暫取得領先。

Joe Johnson, who helped lead Atlanta to a 120-111 win at Phoenix on Feb. 9, led
the Hawks with 28 points. Marvin Williams had 23 points and 10 rebounds.
    在2月9日曾帶領老鷹以120比111於鳳凰城揚威的JJ拿下老鷹全隊最高的28分，而去年
榜眼M.Williams則攻下23分並抓下10個籃板。

Anthony Johnson, acquired Thursday, made his debut for the Hawks with 17 points
and five assists. Smith added 14 points and four blocked shots.
    星期四甫加入的老控衛在他的老鷹處女秀中表現優異，得到17分並傳出5次助攻。而
Smith則拿下14分，並有4次阻攻。

The first half had long runs by each team. An early 14-2 run gave the Suns a
22-16 lead, and a 9-0 burst stretched the lead to 38-24 at the end of the
period.
    上半場兩隊都打出幾波小高潮。開賽之初太陽就以一波14比2的攻勢先聲奪人，取得22
比16的領先，接著又以一波9比0的攻勢結束第一節的比賽。第一節結束，太陽以38比24遙
遙領先。

After giving up 18 points in the quarter to Stoudemire, the Hawks outscored the
Suns 20-5 to open the second period and take a 44-43 lead. The run ended on a
steal and pass by Nash, setting up two free throws by Marion that shifted
momentum back to Phoenix.
    在第一節比賽讓阿罵予取予求拿下18分後，老鷹在第二節一開始就打出一波20比5的攻
勢並取得44比43的領先。這波攻勢在Nash先抄後傳之後結束，他讓Matrix得到兩次罰球機
會，此後比賽又回到了太陽的掌控之中。

The Suns scored 13 straight points late in the half for a 60-53 lead at the
break.
    太陽在第二節末段連下13分並帶著60比53的小幅領先結束了上半場。

Stoudemire and Smith traded dunks in the third quarter. After setting a pick,
Stoudemire whirled, took a pass from Nash and slammed home a right-handed jam
that knocked Smith to the floor with 3:45 left in the period.
    阿罵和Smith在第三節互飆灌籃。在這節比賽還剩下3分45秒時，阿罵幫Nash做了一個
單擋後馬上轉身空手切入禁區，接住Nash精準的傳球隨即狠狠地將球以右手塞進籃框，而
這球的力量之大還足以把Smith整個撞倒在地上。

About a minute later, Stoudemire could only watch as Smith answered with a
left-handed slam to cap a fast break.
    但差不多一分鐘後，阿罵只能眼睜睜地看著Smith在一次快攻中回敬了一記左手扣籃。

It became obvious that it was Stoudemire's night, when with his back to the
basket, he scored with 50 seconds left in the third period when he blindly
flipped the ball over his head.
    在第三節剩下50秒時，阿罵本能地隨手一拋仍舊拿下兩分，比賽在那之後很明顯地已
經變成阿罵的個人秀了。

Johnson scored on another Hawks' fast break with 9:07 left in the game to give
Atlanta a 93-92 lead, its first advantage since midway through the opening
period.
    JJ在比賽剩下9分7秒時的一次快攻得手，幫助老鷹取得93比92領先，那是老鷹自第二
節中段後首次取得領先。

The Suns reclaimed the lead on back-to-back 3-pointers by Barbosa and James
Jones.
    而太陽則隨即以Barbosa和小JJ的連續兩記三分彈取回了領先優勢。

The Suns may have been surprised the Hawks were still close in the fourth
quarter.
    太陽或許會很驚訝老鷹在第四節還能緊咬不放。

"They are really improved from last year," said Suns coach Mike D'Antoni of the
Hawks. "They have a lot of nice young players. ... We had a hard time getting
big guys in the game today because they are so quick and athletic."
    "他們從去年起真的進步不少，"太陽總教練M.D'Antoni在談到老鷹時表示。"他們擁有
很多優秀的年輕球員。...我們在這場比賽中費了不少力氣才擋下他們幾個大個子球員，因
為他們實在太過敏捷，運動能力太突出了。"

The Hawks were only outscored 16-14 on fast-break points, but they couldn't
stop Stoudemire.
    老鷹在快攻分數部分僅僅以16比14小幅領先太陽，但他們最大的敗筆在於沒辦法擋下
發飆的阿罵。

"We ran out of gas," Johnson said.
    "我們已經拼盡全力了，"Johnson說。

Added Smith: "Every time we came back, they answered.
    Smith也補充道："每一次我們追回失分他們都有所回應。"

"They're a pretty good team on the East Coast. They can make you play their
game."
    "他們在東岸表現實在相當傑出，他們能讓你跟著他們的節奏在打球。"

Notes:@ The Suns' 38 first-quarter points set a high for Atlanta opponents this
season but fell three points shy of the season high for Phoenix. ... Phoenix is
4-0 since Nash returned from a shoulder injury. ... Stoudemire set a season
scoring high for a Hawks opponent. ... Stoudemire's career high is 50 points
against Portland on Jan. 2, 2005.
    備註：太陽第一節拿下的38分是老鷹本季對手的第一節得分新高，但太陽本季第一節
最高得分紀錄是41分...太陽自Nash肩傷復原歸隊後已經拿下4勝0敗的佳績...阿罵的43分
寫下老鷹本季敵隊單一球員的得分新高...阿罵職業生涯最高得分50分是在'05年1月2日面
對波特蘭拓荒者時所締造。
