[情報] Sochan的拼勁激發馬刺的士氣

以下翻譯請Gemini初翻，有稍微看過並潤稿

本篇新聞不是麥當勞姊夫寫的(Jeff Mcdonald)，而是馬刺當地新聞台Jeff Garcia寫的
除了換換新聞口味外，這篇寫了一些近期一直在數據上沒太大表現的Sochan
可讓各位看看在數據以外的Sochan也做了不少努力

另外，下一場對騎士，Kornet目前被列為傷兵，上場機率為Questionable (50%)
或許可以讓強悍的Sochan上來擋內線

SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs rarely get into major altercations on
the court.
馬刺隊在球場上很少發生重大衝突。

Sure, there might be a smattering of shoving matches, but even this rarely
escalates into a bench-clearing ruckus or constant player ejections when the
Spurs are on the hardwood.
當然，比賽中或許會有零星的推擠，但在馬刺的比賽裡，這很少升級為清空板凳的大亂鬥，或是頻繁造成球員被驅逐出場。

But occasionally, as in all competitive professional sports, emotions run
high.
但偶爾，就像所有競爭激烈的職業運動一樣，情緒總會高漲。

For the Spurs, whenever there is extracurricular activity, you might guess
Jeremy Sochan is involved, and your guess might be correct.
對馬刺來說，每當發生這類場外插曲（extracurricular activity）時，你可能會猜
Jeremy Sochan 牽涉其中，而你的猜測很可能是對的。

In the Nov. 2 Spurs' home win over Memphis, Sochan and Grizzlies' big man,
7'3", 300-pound Zach Edey, were battling for the ball when they dropped to
the floor, and things were seemingly about to explode.
在 11 月 2 日馬刺主場戰勝灰熊的比賽中，Sochan 與灰熊隊身高 7 呎 3 吋、體重
300 磅的長人 Zach Edey 爭搶球權時雙雙倒地，場面似乎一觸即發。

Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed, and the pair separated, but Sochan's
grit and tenacity fuel the Spurs.
幸運的是，雙方冷靜了下來並分開，但 Sochan 的拼勁與韌性成為了馬刺隊的燃料。

"I think it's obviously easy to see the highlight plays and the offensive
side of things, the prettier side, but the gritty part of the plays that
Jeremy made in that example, that's what carries our team," Harrison Barnes
said.
Harrison Barnes 說：「我認為大家顯然很容易看到那些精彩好球和進攻端表現，也就是比較華麗的一面；但像 Jeremy 在那個例子中展現出的強硬表現，才是支撐我們球隊的關鍵。」

It's not uncommon for Sochan to be a pest on the court with the opposition. Ateam needs that type of gritty player when it is time to roll up the sleeves.Sochan 在場上成為對手的眼中釘並不罕見。當需要捲起袖子苦幹時，球隊正需要這種強硬的球員。

In the Spurs' Nov. 14 home game against the Warriors, Victor Wembanyama and
Draymond Green had words following the Spurs' big man's dunk.
在 11 月 14 日馬刺主場對陣勇士的比賽中，Victor Wembanyama 與 Draymond Green 在Wembanyama灌籃後發生了口角。

The situation seemed to be escalating between Wembanyama and Green, but it
was Sochan who, without hesitation, ran into the scrum and faced Green to
defend Wemby.
局勢似乎要在 Wembanyama 與 Green 之間升溫，但正是 Sochan 毫不猶豫地衝進人群，挺身面對 Green 以保護 Wemby。

That side of the game, as Barnes noted, isn't pretty, but it is necessary at
times when winning is the primary goal.
正如 Barnes 所指出的，比賽的這一面雖然不漂亮，但當勝利是首要目標時，這有時是必要的。

However, it doesn't have to be a Spur being separated from another player,
nor does it have to be tempers flaring, far from it.
然而，這不一定非得是馬刺球員被架開，也不一定非得是怒火中燒，遠非如此。

From Keldon Johnson diving for loose balls to Luke Kornet sacrificing his
body to draw charges, the team's toughness on the floor this season reflects
its commitment to doing whatever it takes to win.
從 Keldon Johnson撲倒在地搶球，到 Luke Kornet利用身體製造進攻犯規，球隊本賽季在場上的強悍表現，反映了他們為求勝不惜一切代價的決心。

"I think that anytime you see guys putting their body on the line, Jeremy
hits the deck, Keldon (Johnson) hits the deck, Luke (Kornet), I don't know
how many times Luke was hit in the face or was on the ground for something;
that's the commitment that guys are making towards winning," Barnes said.
Barnes 說：「我認為每當你看見有人豁出身體拼搶，Jeremy 倒地、Keldon倒地，還有
Luke，我不知道 Luke 被打到臉多少次或是為了某些球倒在地上，那就是大家為了贏球所做出的投入。」

Those types of gritty plays can even lift the Spurs out of a sluggish spell
and energize the team.
這些強硬的表現甚至能讓馬刺擺脫低迷狀態，為球隊注入活力。

With the Spurs coming off a long four-game road trip before their recent gameagainst Memphis, the team started slowly.
在對戰灰熊比賽之前，馬刺剛結束了一趟漫長的客場四連戰，球隊對戰灰熊開局表現緩慢。

But when Sochan battled with Edey, it sparked the rest of the squad.
但當 Sochan 與 Edey 搏鬥時，這激勵了其餘隊員。

"I think coming off a long road trip, we started off the game (versus
Memphis) a little sluggish, and just like most teams in the NBA, it's going
to happen. It's natural, it's human nature," said Spurs guard Lindy Waters
III. "But that second unit with Jeremy trying to take Edey out of the game, Ithink he picked up his third or fourth foul on that play. So that was big
time."
馬刺後衛 Lindy Waters III 說：「我想剛結束漫長的客場之旅，我們在比賽開始時有些遲緩，就像 NBA 大多數球隊一樣，這總會發生。這是自然的，是人之常情。但有Jeremy的第二陣容試圖壓制 Edey，我想他在那波攻防中領到了第三或第四次犯規。所以那真的很關鍵。」

Said Waters III: "It does ripple effect energy, and as coach Mitch (Johnson)
talks about it all the time, we have to have that body language, energy
reactions to be able to propel us through the entire 48-minute game."
Waters III 表示：「這確實會產生能量的連鎖反應，就像 Mitch教練一直掛在嘴邊的，我們必須擁有那種肢體語言和能量反饋，才能推動我們撐過整場 48 分鐘的比賽。」

So far this season, no Spur has missed a game due to a suspension for
fighting, nor has been ejected from a game for the same reason.
本賽季至今，沒有馬刺球員因打架被禁賽缺席，也沒有人因此被驅逐出場。

As for Sochan, he has been ejected from a game only twice in his career, bothin 2025 against the Thunder and Lakers. Not bad despite his reputation as an
agitator.
至於 Sochan，他職業生涯中只被驅逐出場過兩次，分別是在 2025 年對陣雷霆和湖人的比賽中。儘管他有著搞事王（agitator）的名聲，但這紀錄還算不錯。

Yes, dunks, alley-oops, crossover dribbles to the rim, and three-pointers mayget the highlight machine going, but sometimes the feisty,
crashing-to-the-court, bumps-and-bruises moments of the season make the
difference in wins and losses for the Spurs.
是的，灌籃、空中接力、換手運球切入籃下和三分球或許能佔據精彩鏡頭，但有時那些充滿鬥志、摔在地板上、充滿碰撞與瘀青的時刻，才是決定馬刺本季勝負的關鍵。

"That was big time of him," said Waters III of Sochan's physicality with
Edey. "Big props to Jeremy."
談到 Sochan 與 Edey 的肢體對抗，Waters III 說：「他那樣做真的很關鍵。給
Jeremy 極大的讚賞（Big props）。」
