Okur Makes His Case

Mehmet Okur has made his case and you can consider this writer convinced.
Yes, your friendly neighborhood columnist has made a case for Denver's
Marcus Camby in recent days, but after Okur's heroics Saturday night, how can
comissoner David Stern -- or anyone else for that matter -- overlook the man
they call Memo?
Mehmet Okur 已經證明了自己，我也因此對他的能力深信不疑。是的，你們友善的鄰居的
專欄作家最近才寫了一篇讚賞 Marcus Camby 的文章(本文作者是金塊和爵士的專欄作家)
但是在這個屬於 Okur 英雄一般的夜晚後，總裁先生 David Stern 或其他各位大官們又
怎麼能夠在忽略這個大家叫他 Memo 的真男人呢？
While such a notion might sound silly to fans who don't follow the Jazz, is
there another player in the Association who has been more clutch this season
than Okur? Maybe Gilbert Arenas -- who of course beat the Jazz on Martin
Luther King Day with his late game heorics -- but that is the only name which
comes to mind.
這樣的看法也許對非爵士迷來說看似愚蠢的，但這個賽季裡有誰比 Okur 更能稱為關鍵先
生呢？也許是 Gilbert Arenas 吧，這傢伙在馬丁路德之日關鍵一擊絕殺了爵士，但這是
我唯一能想到的名字了。
Not only that, but you have to consider the context of Okur's effort Saturday.
不僅如此，你還必須考慮到 Okur 在那個禮拜六的晚上所帶來的效應。
First, as he told media before the game, Okur believes someone from the Jazz
should get the All Star nod because of the team's outstanding record. What
this means is whether or not he will get named an All Star is something that
was in his consciousness, meaning Saturday night was essentially a chance for
Okur to state his case to Stern and anyone else who would listen. Such
pressure causes some players to press and ultimately struggle (see Anthony,
Carmelo). For Okur, though, all it did was give him another reason to once
again rise to the occassion.
首先，他在比賽前告訴媒體，Okur 相信以他們球隊那麼輝煌的戰績，總該有個人到明星
賽去玩玩吧。這代表 Okur 內心深處對自己能否入選明星賽是很在意的，也代表這個禮拜
六的晚上是他向 Stern 和所有願意聆聽他能力的人證明自己的好機會。在這樣的壓力下，
有些球員因此表現得大失水準 (看看 Melo...囧)，而對 Okur 來說，這只不過是給了他
一個大爆發的理由。
As if a 29 point and 12 rebound effort wasn't convincing enough, once you
consider Saturday night's competition, the magnitude of what Okur was able to
do really becomes magnified.
也許 29分 12籃板看起來不怎麼樣，但只要你看了那晚的比賽，那你會認為 Okur 做了他
能夠做到的偉大表現。
The Jazz beat the Phoenix Suns 108-105 last night. Yes, the same Phoenix
Suns team that won like a gazillion games in a row before having their streak
stopped last week in Minnesota. Not only that, but the game was in Phoenix.
Point being, Okur made his case against the NBA's best.
爵士在那晚以 108-105 擊敗了太陽。是的，就是那隻曾經連勝不止的太陽隊。太陽才在
上週在 Minnesota 終止了連勝，而這次失利卻是在鳳凰城，Okur 用擊敗這隻聯盟最佳的
球隊來證明了自己。
As if that wasn't already enough, Okur was able to knock down the game
clinching shot under duress in the closing seconds of the game, something he
has done numerous times this season already.
這樣還不夠嗎，Okur 總是能在被壓迫的情況下在最關鍵的時刻投入最制勝的一擊，
這個賽季他已經做了好幾次了。 (國外鄉民似乎說有 6 次 @@)
Oh yeah, Okur and the Jazz also did this with Carlos Boozer on the shelf.
喔~ Okur 和爵士隊可是在 Carlos Boozer 缺陣的情況下做到這些的！
Take it from me -- someone who has tried to make a case for other players --
Okur has proven to be more than a worthy candidate for this year's All Star
squad. Let's just hope Stern and company have been paying attention.
依我看，一個能在關鍵時刻挺身而出為隊友搞定一切的球員，Okur 已經證明了他有資格
成為今年明星賽的一員。希望 Stern 和聯盟能夠慧眼識英雄吧。
以下略過...
