Fittingly, the NBA's reigning Defensive Player of the Year came to Marbury's defense.

恰当地说，马布里的防守配得上当NBA本年度的最佳防守球员。

Things didn't improve in the bright lights of Manhattan, where Francis paired with Stephon Marbury to form a backcourt tandem of players with similar games.

在曼哈顿明媚的阳光下，事态并没有好转。 他和马布里搭档一前一后组成后卫线，这是他习惯的打法。

Marbury played briefly for the Boston Celtics, and according to Zhongyu he accepted an offer to move to China after he didn't receive any further satisfactory offers within the NBA.

据中宇称，由于在NBA没有得到令其满意的合同，马布里接受了中宇的邀请，来到中国。
