But at that time he was better known outside of Sacramento as the other ‘Kmart’, or the guy who backed up Bonzi. 或許早在05-06球季的季後賽第一輪第三場，Martin在槍響前那個令人瘋狂、 身體扭曲變形下在Tim Duncan頭上上籃的致勝一擊，已經讓人注意到這個小 夥子。可是那時除了沙城的球迷外，大家只知道他是另一個綽號Kmart、在 國王隊當Bonzi Wells替補的小子。 Kings fans who had watched him over the last two seasons knew that he had great potential. But outside the 916 there was little to no fanfare. That was until Wednesday’s 30-point explosion on the defensive-minded Detroit Pistons. 國王迷經過前兩季的觀察，都知道他很有潛力。然而出了沙城（電話區碼 916），他仍然沒有什麼知名度。事情在星期三晚上有了變化，那晚他在全身 流著堅壁清野防守血液的活塞隊手裡爆炸式地狂取30分。 Martin is all of a sudden ‘hot’ around the league. The Kings’ media relations staff has received several national interview requests for the youngster since Wednesday, while those who were questioning the validity of his fast start to the season took a big “Shhh” to the face. Martin突然間紅了。從星期三起，國王隊的媒體公關已經接獲許多全國性專 訪Martin的請求，同時那些質疑他本季優秀表現是否為曇花一現的人也不得 不閉口。 Kevin is exactly the type of player that can be an icon in Sacramento. He works hard, he plays hard, he’s humble and he’s poised to become the coverboy for the franchise over the next decade. Kevin正是那種可以成為沙城看板球星的人。他打球認真，為人謙遜，並且 早已做好準備成為未來十年球隊的招牌人物。 Enjoy the ride Kings fans, it’s not often you get to see a star born and grow up in front of you. 國王迷們，你們就盡情享受吧，因為要看著一個球星從誕生到成長茁壯是多 麼幸福且得來不易的事啊。 --
