LOS ANGELES - Since forward James Jones entered the Suns' starting lineup eight
games ago, he has scored in double digits in Phoenix's four 100-plus outings
and single digits in the Suns' four sub-100 outings.
    洛杉磯訊 - 自從前鋒小JJ在八場比賽前加入太陽先發陣容後，他在太陽四場得分破百
的比賽中都得到二位數的分數，而在太陽得分四場未破百的比賽中只得到單位數的分數。

Jones called his Game 3 performance "horrible." The Lakers played tight defense
against the Suns' three-point shooters, leaving Jones with no three-point tries
for the first time in the past 10 games.
    小JJ說他在第3場比賽中的表現只能用"糟透了"來形容。湖人對太陽的三分射手群採取
嚴密的防守，讓小JJ連一次三分出手的機會都沒有，這是過去10場比賽以來的第一回。

"If you're in the corner, they're paying close attention and not allowing you
to get the ball and forcing our bigs - Amare (Stoudemire), Shawn (Marion) and
Boris (Diaw) - to make plays when they trap Steve (Nash)," Jones said. "Just
try to make ourselves available and make it easier for Steve. Give him better
angles and just get the ball quicker to the paint, because that's their soft
spot right now.
    "如果你在角落，他們會密切地注意你，不讓你有任何機會拿球而且迫使我們的大個子
- 阿罵、Matrix、屌爺 - 在他們讓S.Nash掉入陷阱式防守時選擇單打獨鬥，"小JJ說。"我
們要試著讓我們處在可以接球的狀態並減輕Nash的負擔。給他更好的傳球角度而且讓球快
速導入禁區內，因為那是他們現在的弱點所在。"

"There aren't many open shots with these guys, because they know who we are."
    "我們在他們的防守之下並不會有太多出手空檔，因為他們很清楚我們是誰。"

Just as Jones wants a better start, that was the emphasis the Lakers expressed
to Los Angeles reporters.
    正當小JJ希望能有更好的先發表現的時候，湖人也向洛杉磯的記者們強調說。

"The big key is early game," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "Come ready to
play, get the crowd involved in the game by playing up to our potential with
the energy we played with the other night."
    "最大的關鍵點就是比賽前段，"湖人教練禪師說。"做好上場打球的準備，用前晚那種
活力十足的表現盡情發揮潛力以讓球迷融入球賽。"

Looking golden
    看來金光閃閃

While reflecting on Golden State's 2-1 first-round edge against top seed Dallas
, the Suns were at a Crossroads on Saturday.
    想著金州勇士在第一輪中以2勝1敗領先西區頭號種子達拉斯小牛這件事，太陽星期六
站在十字路上。

They practiced at Crossroads School, the Santa Monica, Calif., alma mater of
Warriors guard Baron Davis.
    他們在勇士後衛小鋼炮的母校，加州聖塔摩尼卡的十字路高中練習。

"They've been playing great," Nash said of the Warriors in the series, which
has his former Dallas coach, Don Nelson, battling his buddy and ex-Dallas
teammate, Dirk Nowitzki.
    "他們表現得很出色，"Nash這麼說勇士在系列賽中的表現，這系列賽是他的前達拉斯
教練D.Nelson和他的換帖兼前達拉斯隊友Dirk的對戰。

"A matchup disaster, playing all guys that are about the same size. All
athletic and strong and can shoot. Nellie is very clever at that end, switching
and confusing the defense. Offensively, you're making it really difficult for
big guys."
    "和所有傢伙都差不多同樣體型的球隊捉對廝殺會是一場災難般的對決。全部人都活動
力十足、身強體壯而且都具有投射能力。在那一端Nellie非常聰明，他迫使防守球員錯守
和混亂。在進攻方面，你會因此造成對方大個子球員的困擾。"

The Warriors are 11-2 in their past 13 games, a run that began when they
defeated the Suns 124-119 on March 29.
    勇士自3月29日以124擊敗119太陽以來的13場比賽拉出了一波11勝2敗的優異成績。

"(Oracle Arena) is hard to play in," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said of the
Warriors' arena. "When you're the fastest, strongest, quickest to the ball,
quickest to the rebound team on the floor, you've got a good chance of winning.
"
    "神諭球場(勇士主場)是難以攻克之地，"太陽教練M.D'Antoni這麼說勇士的場子。"當
你是支最快速、最強壯，處理球、抓籃板最敏捷的球隊時，你就會擁有很好的機會贏球。"

Free throws
    附帶一提

The Suns have given up an average of 16.3 offensive rebounds in their past six
games and gotten 8.2 per game during that span.
    太陽在過去六場比賽中平均讓對手抓下16.3個進攻籃板但本身卻只抓下8.2個進攻籃板
。

"We're turning and chasing the ball rather than putting a body on someone,"
Jones said. "We've been leaking out, so we haven't been putting our nose in
there and coming up with the loose rebounds."
    "我們只看著球跑卻沒好好盯住該看的人，"小JJ說。"我們常常偷跑，沒把心力放在那
的結果就是對手屢屢抓下進攻籃板。"

‧ Today's contest is the series' only game in a five-day span. The Suns said
that is irrelevant, but Jackson said, "It's good for us. We have a young team,
but yet we have guys that are recovering from injuries."
    ‧今天的比賽是這個系列賽中唯一在五天之內只有一場比賽的一次。太陽說那不重要
，但禪師說，"那對我們來說很不錯。我們雖然是一支年輕的球隊，但仍有一些球員正從傷
病中復元。"
