http://www.sackings.com/Article.cfm?article=3146 K-Mart now a target by Sam Amick Sacramento Bee his way to board a team plane Wednesday night, Kings shooting guard Kevin Martin did as he always does after games. He checked in with his longtime personal trainer, David Thorpe, seeking his usual postgame analysis via back-and-forth text messages. 国王队得分後卫Kevin Martin做了他每场比赛之後都做的事，在他要成为看板人物的路上 ，他和他的个人训练师David Thorpe一起分析、记录他的比赛。 But before Thorpe could weigh in on the Kings' season-opening 92-83 loss at Minnesota, one in which Martin led the team with 23 points on 9-of-15 shooting and was the evening's only consistent offensive threat, Martin gave his assessment. Martin在国王开季输给灰狼的比赛里以15投9中的成绩拿下了全队最高的23分，也是全队唯 一称得上攻击威胁的家伙。但在Thrope要开口跟Martin讨论前，Martin先丢出了他的想法 。 "I was so sloppy," he wrote. 「我觉得好累。」他写着。 Whether Martin was accurate -- and he was, given that three of his five turnovers came in the game's most crucial late minutes -- wasn't what pleased Thorpe. It's that Martin's self-assessed report card was so brutally honest. 他的确累了，他在比赛最重要的最後几分钟里，发生了3次失误（共5次）。当然Thorpe并 不是为此而高兴，他高兴的是Martin诚实的去评估自已的状况。 "It's not about personal glory," said Thorpe, who first connected with Martin when he was a freshman at Western Carolina University in 2001. "He wants to be one of the best shooting guards in the world. But it's all cloaked within helping the team win." 「这无关个人荣誉。」Thrope说，他是Martin还在西卡罗莱纳大学大一时，就头一个找上 Martin。「他想要成为世界上最好的的分卫，但这跟不能帮球队取胜无关。」 Thorpe's not the only one gushing pride these days, as the Kings have been thrilled to see their little-known No. 26 overall pick in the 2004 draft become one of the league's "it" names this season. Thorpe不是最近唯一一个为Martin感到骄傲的人，整个国王队都在渴望这个2004年第26顺 位的小子在这季成为大人物。 That unofficial list came last week. A general manager's survey listed Martin as the second-most-likely player to have a breakout campaign. The winner was Orlando's Dwight Howard, with the GMs somehow missing the fact that the young Magic phenom crafted his blueprint breakout last season. 在一份非官方的名单上，GM们把Martin列为第二位本季会大爆发的人，而第一名的魔术 的Dwight Howard，不过这些GM可能忘了Dwight Howard上季就已经暴走了。 (http://www.nba.com/preview2006/gmsurvey_players.html Martin和Knicks的Curry、Hawks的M.Williams并列第二) Strange pick aside, it was, in no disguised terms, a sign that the mystery of Martin has transitioned into the rising-star period. 不要管那份名单了，重点是我们都看到了一些现象，这些现象告诉我们Martin正处於要成 为全明星的过渡时期。 The endorsements have come in many forms for Martin, the third-year player from the tiny town of Zanesville, Ohio. There are the literal kinds, like a contract with retail chain Good Feet that carries with it a strange but relevant sign ificance. 有各种方式的认同Martin这个来自Ohio小镇的三年级生会成为一位明星，比方说文字上， 和零售连锁店Good Feet签的合约，在Peja之後，他成为了新一季的Good Feet代言人。 That duty used to belong to Peja Stojakovic, and Vlade Divac before him, and became -- in the Sacramento market -- an assignment reserved for the most beloved King. 在这之前只有Peja和Vlade Divac才有这种待遇，对国王队而言，这是最受欢迎的国王球员 才配享有的。 Martin, 23, has a deal with Mercedes and even appeared on ESPN's "Outside the Lines" a few months ago, going national in an analytical way during a show about shoe deals in the league. Martin这个23岁的小伙子几个月前和Mercedes合作，也出现在ESPN的节目上。在他闻名全 国的同时，他的球鞋也将会顺势推出。 The Kings' endorsement, the one that truly matters, was twofold. Their confidence in Martin invariably impacted their willingness to let Bonzi Wells leave Sacramento in the offseason after Martin showed so much promise when Wells was injured. 国王对Martin的认同则是更多，因为信任Martin，他们在季後放走了Bonzi Wells，而当 Martin回报国王的支持时，Bonzi受伤了。 And most recently, there were the organizational expectations going public, when Kings coach Eric Musselman said he sees no shortage of upside in Martin, who led the Kings in scoring during the Vegas Summer League and the exhibition season. 可以说是整个国王队都在期待Martin，国王的新教头Musselman也说，他找不到Martin的缺 点，而Martin在夏季联盟和季前赛的得分也领先全队。 "He's going to continue to get stronger, his confidence is going to build, and eventually he's going to have to be one of our go-to guys," Musselman said. "I think he can be an All-Star in due time. If he takes the same significant jumps this year that he did last year, then you're looking at a year from now (Martin) being one of the premier players at his position." 「他会变得更强壮，他的自信心也会建立起来，最终成为我们的主将之一。」Musselman说 ：「我认为他一定会成为全明星球员，只要他像去年一样的跳跃性成长，再一年後， Martin在他的位置上将少有敌手。」 Which, by the way, is the shoot-for-the-stars goal. 不管从哪方面来看，他都是要成为明星的人。 Martin has modeled himself after All-Stars from the get-go. In his younger years, he broke down tape of Detroit's Richard Hamilton, and Miami's Dwyane Wade has been his latest study subject. He has remedied every potential pitfall along the way, from his frail frame (he was 167 pounds in college and now is 190) to a jump shot so funky scouts across the league swore he had no future ( he was a 48 percent shooter and shot 36.9 percent from three-point range last season) Martin从去年明星赛开始想他要成为怎麽样的球员。在他年轻时，他看了每卷Hamilton的 录影带，而他最近在看的家伙则是Dwyane Wade。他也慢慢地增强自已的缺点，原本被认为 瘦弱不堪的身体也已经由大学时的167磅增到190磅。被球探认定因古怪的跳投姿势而没有 未来的他上季有4成8的命中率及3成69三分命中率。 And while Martin's current status is that of a potent complementary player, he has produced in spite of being a relatively small part of the offense. Martin现在的数据已经相当不错，他也增进了原本相对而言比较弱的进攻。 Martin -- who has improved his defense enough to earn praise on that end, too -- estimates he has eight or nine plays in which his number is called, compared to 14 or 15 each for Ron Artest and Mike Bibby. The trouble now, though, is that he's popping up in opponents' playbooks, too. Martin早就已经有了让人称赞的防守，而现在他在进攻也强化许多，在一场比赛中，他差 不多会演出八到九次精彩的进攻，而阿泰跟Bibby则是差不多14次或是15次。对他而言现 在最大的问题是，他已经开始被对手所研究。 （感谢pennykidd <(__ __)>） "I'm not getting as many open looks," Martin said. "A lot of people play me differently, a lot of people get up in me, and a lot of people try to stop my drive." 「现在很少会有对手放我空档。」Martin说：「大家会想用不同的方式打败我，阻止我上 篮。」 In the larger sense, they haven't been able to yet. 看来，他们似乎还不能阻止Martin。 "With players like Ron and Mike and Brad (Miller), I'm still trying to climb up the ladder, still trying to be that player I want to be," Martin said. "Last year was kind of like a breakthrough. And me and my trainer have been talking. This (season) needs to be more of a breakout." 「跟阿泰、Bibby、Miller比起来，我还在努力的向上爬，希望成为我想要成为的球员」 Martin说：「去年我有了大的突破，而我和我的训练师都希望今年我能有比去年更大的突 破。ꄊ -- 这篇Martin的外电对我而言好难看懂，很多都只能用意译的方式 Martin大爆发吧！让大家看到K-Mart就想到你！（Kenyon Martin？Who？） --
