http://www.nba.com/kings/features/Kenny_Thomas_066020.html On a Team Full of Scorers, Kenny Thomas Plays a Big Role by Doing the Things That Count 在一支充满得分好手的队伍中，Kenny Thomas 在作某些事情上扮演了很重要的角色。 He occasionally makes a spectacular dunk that other players will admire. And when he climbs the backboard especially high to secure an important rebound, it can immediately raise the noise level in ARCO Arena another notch. 他偶而会做出令其他球员赞赏的华丽灌篮。然而，当他跳到和篮板一样的高度并抓下特 别重要的篮板球时，这时在Acro Arena会立即地把噪音带向另一个等级。 On a team that has possessed scoring power over the years from a number of different sources, what Thomas does best is play a role. And, there's nothing wrong with that, he said, admitting he focuses most on defense and rebounding. 在一个拥有得分能力胜过之前所待过球队的阵中，Thomas把角色扮演得非常好。而且， 并没有犯任何的错误在那上面，他说道，也坦承他最着重的是在防守及篮板上。 Good basketball teams need role players, so Thomas tries to leave his ego in the locker room each game and simply roll with whatever happens. 好的篮球队需要球员扮演好各自的角色，所以在每场比赛中，Thomas试图抛开他的自尊 心并且勇於面对接下来发生的事。 Other things would include pursuing the basketball when a shot doesn’t pass through the net. At every level he’s played, Thomas always has demonstrated a propensity to rebound. He did it in college, averaging 8.4 boards in the 123 games he started during four seasons at New Mexico, the best four-year stretch (102-30 record) in school history. 其它事情包括当投篮没进时，他总是会去追那颗球。在打球时的每一层面，Thomas总是 展现自己生性喜欢抢篮板的特性。他在大学时期做了它，而在新墨西哥州的四个球季中， 共先发了123场比赛，以每场平均8.4个篮板的表现，为这所大学打下这四个球季中，战绩 最佳的102胜30负。 Thomas established a standard his senior season with the Lobos that he matched three years ago with the Philadelphia 76ers. He averaged a double- double both times, reaching double figures in points and rebounds for the season. Thomas为他之前配合过三年的费城七六人队，树立了一个典范。在第三个球季，他平均 得分跟篮板都达到双十的成绩。 He’s at it again this year since becoming the regular starter after Shereef Abdur-Rahim suffered a broken jaw in late December. Thomas has averaged nearly 11 points and 10 rebounds through his first 49 games as a starter. His consistency has helped the Kings win during that span when the team has gone 29 -20. 自从SAR在去年12月因为下颚骨受伤後，他因此成为先发并再度在今年达到双十的成绩。 在成为先发後的前49场比赛，Thomas交出了平均将近11分及10篮板的成绩。他稳定的表现 也帮助国王队在这段期间打出29胜20负的成绩。 He's making a difference, insists teammate Bonzi Wells. 他做了不同的决定，乃坚持留下队友Bonzi Wells。 “When Shareef went down, Kenny got extended minutes and he's been a double- double guy ever since,” Wells said. “He's an excellent energy guy. He's a great rebounder at both ends of the court and he’s real active on defense.” 「当Shareef表现低潮的时候，Kenny得到更多的上场时间且总是能拿下双十的成绩。」 Wells说道。「他是一个优秀的人物，是一个出色的进攻及防守篮板好手，且在防守上一直 是积极的。」 一直被低估的Thomas究竟能不能继续留在国王呢？ 　 --
