He knows some of you are watching him play in recent weeks and wondering when the other shoe will drop, wondering when "Bad J.R." will again inhabit the No. 8 jersey. JR知道其他人是怎麽想的。他知道很多人把他最近的表现都看在眼里，并且等着看好戏， 想知道他何时会像灰姑娘掉了一只鞋那样变回原形、想知道「坏小子JR」何时会再度穿着 八号球衣出现。 But he’s here to tell you -- and show you -- that you can forget about it. Smith says his inconsistent play is a thing of the past. 但是他现在告诉你－－也直接表现给你看－－你可以忘记这档事了。JR说他那些不稳定的 表现已经是过去式。 "I’ve been known as an inconsistent player (but) I’m just tired of hearing that," Smith said last week on ESPN New York 98.7. "I just want to be as consistent as I can be to help my teammates and give us our best chance to win." 「我以往总被认为是一个不稳定的球员，但我已经听腻这个了。」JR说：「我想要尽我所 能地变得更稳定，这样我才能帮助我的队友、并且让我们有最好的机会去赢得胜利。」 That's exactly what he's done over the past three weeks. 这的确就是他在过去三周里做的事。 During the Knicks' 13-game winning streak, Smith has been a model of consistency. 在尼克这波13连胜里，JR是个稳定的模范生。 He’s scoring 23.2 points per game on 49 percent shooting since the streak started March 18 against the Jazz; prior to that date, Smith averaged 16.7 points per game on 40 percent shooting. 从连胜开始的那场击败爵士开始，他每场可得到23.2分，命中率有49%；而在那之前，他 每场平均只有16.7分，命中率40%。 The cause of Smith’s turnaround is simple, really: he’s taking better shots. JR这样的表现没有什麽特别的诀窍，真的：他只是投篮选择变好了而已。 The Knicks' sixth man has doubled the percentage of shots he takes in the restricted area during the winning streak (15.6 percent before 3/18; 33 percent since). 连胜期中，尼克这位第六人在禁区的出手量变成了两倍（3/18之前只有15.6%；後来有33% ）。 He’s also taken a significantly lower percentage of mid-range jumpers since the streak started (36.8 percent of his attempts were midrange jumpers prior to 3/18; he’s down to 27.4 percent since). 这段时间里，他的中距离跳投也显着降低（36.8%变成27.4%）。 "My jumper’s been on and off a lot this year and I’d been relying way too much on it," Smith said during an interview on "The Michael Kay Show." "When I drive, no one can really stay in front of me ... and it helps out our shooters because eventually everybody’s going to have to collapse and I’m able to find (an open) shooter." 「我的跳投这一季时好时坏，而且我一直以来都太依赖它了。」JR在某个访问中说：「当 我切入的时候，没有谁真的能挡住我……而这给我们的射手提供了帮助，因为大家都要来 挡我、而我就可以趁机找到有空档的射手。」 The increase in trips into the paint has also helped Smith get to the free-throw line. 切到油漆区里也帮助JR能站上罚球线。 Prior to March 18, Smith averaged 3.2 free-throw attempts per game. In the last 13 games, that number has jumped to 7.2. Also, his true shooting percentage, which accounts for free-throws and three-pointers, has climbed from 40 percent to 50 percent. 截至3/18，JR每一场平均可获得3.2次罚球机会，而在过去13场比赛里，他的罚球机会上 升到7.2次。而且，他的TS%（罚球和三分球所占的比例）也从40%升到50%。 All of the numbers have catapulted Smith into the conversation for the NBA’s Sixth Man Award. They've also increased the price tag for Smith this summer, when he tests free-agency. 所有的数剧都在替JR发声，好让他更有竞争力去获得年度最佳第六人。这也让JR今年暑假 去自由市场试水温的时候可以拿到更好的薪水。 But he’s not worried about that at the moment. Rather, Smith insists he’s focused on one thing: staying consistent. 不过这不是他现在所在乎的。事实上，他把他的焦点放在一件事情上：保持稳定。 "This is the best I think I’ve played right now," Smith said. "Every day and every game is being consistent, that’s the biggest thing." 「我觉得我现在做的事情是最棒的。」JR说：「每天、每场比赛都保持稳定，这是最重要 的事。」 －－－－－ 一句看完整篇外电：JR现在很稳定很乖，少中投，多切禁区，给了球队很多帮助，好棒！ -- ．‥…──∥ ─── ◣ =◥"◥’． ∵ ◆∥ ψsherry821224 ────────── ∥ ◤ ◥ ◤ ◥ ∥ ◤ ◢◤\ ◣◥ ∥ ╱ ∥◤￣◣ ﹍◣∥◤￣╲∥ ╱∥◤￣╲ ▼‵､λ﹀▼▼ ∥◆◇ ∥ ∥∥◣∥ ∥╱ ∥◣＿ ─-.╳ ︶- ∥ ╲ ∥ ∥∥ ∥ ∥ ╲ ◥∥▲ ρ\ `, ▲▲ ─────∥ ╲ ∥ ∥∥ ∥◣＿╱∥ ╲╲＿◢∥ ◥ | ◢────…‥． --
