[外絮] KP:我已經要回到那個 OLD ME

Dallas Mavericks big man Kristaps Porzingis had to go through an adjustment
period with the Mavs at the start of the season. However, Porzingis feels
like he is getting his rhythm back.

達拉斯獨行俠的大個子KP在開季時度過一段與獨行俠互相調整、適應的時光，但KP本人認為他正在慢慢找回他的節奏。

With fellow Mavs star Luka Doncic sidelined due to injury, Porzingis scored
38 points to go along with 13 rebounds and four assists as Dallas defeated
the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday.

同隊的獨行俠球星Luka Doncic因傷缺陣，KP在周日擊敗灰狼一役中得到了38分、13籃板外帶4助攻的成績。

Porzingis said after the game he is capable of these sort of performances.

KP本人在賽後訪問時說道他有能力能夠繳出這種表現

KP also responded to a question about “feeling like Kristaps again” in
humorous fashion.

同時KP也用幽默的回應了「感覺又像Kristaps了」這個話題。

“I’ve been Kristaps. I’ve been myself. It took me a little bit to get back
to the shooting rhythm and feel for the game and I think the team now knows
where I’d like to receive the ball and I could mix the roll with the pops
and switch it up. It just takes time, it always takes time to get adjusted toeverything and playing with these guys,” the Mavs center said.

「我已經是Kristaps。我已經是我自己。我花了一些心力來找回我的投籃節奏和對比賽的感覺，現在我猜整個球隊應該都已經知道我喜歡在哪裡拿到球、我可以克服這些問題和改變。這一切都只需要時間，一切都需要時間來適應任何事物、如何與夥伴們一同作戰。」

這位獨行俠中鋒如此回應。

This has been an up-and-down season for Porzingis from an individual
perspective, but context is important. He had not played in over a year, and
he was also surrounded by a host of new teammates. Naturally, things were
slow in the first few months.

從KP的角度來看，這個賽季是個充滿波折的球季，但內容是重要的。他還沒在獨行俠打滿一年，他處在一個充滿新隊友的環境中。想當然，前幾個月總是需要慢慢來。

Porzingis posted a measly .483 true shooting percentage in November, and
after some improvement in December, Porzingis was forced to miss time due to
injury in January.

KP在11月繳出了.483的真實命中率，雖然在12月有所進步，到了1月時卻又礙於傷勢而不得不錯過這些上場時間。

Now, it seems the 24-year-old has turned the corner. Porzingis was excellent
in February, averaging 25.2 points and 10.6 rebounds to go along with a 65.6
shooting percentage.

現在看來這位24歲的球員已經回到了賽場上。KP在二月的表現相當出色，場均25.2分、
10.6籃板配上65.6%的投籃命中率。

The Mavs could be a potential upset pick if they can get healthy. Luka Doncicand Kristaps Porzingis have the capability to be among the best pick-and-roleduos in the league, one that could exploit match-ups and terrorize opponents
come April.

如果獨行俠能夠持續保持健康，他們可能成為讓人困擾的對手。Luka Doncic和KP有那個能力能夠成為聯盟最好的P&R搭檔之一。直到四月，他們都能夠用這招來威懾對手。
