按：其实这篇是昨天的，忘记放上来，抱歉= =" The Trail Blazers have struggled mightily in the past month with their late -game offensive execution, and coach Terry Stotts says go ahead and place the blame on him.“Ultimately,“ Stotts said, “it’s on me.” 在过去这个月的许多比赛当中，拓荒者在决胜期的表现很差，而教练说这全然是他的责任 ："这根本的原因就在於我。" In the past month, the Blazers have played five games when the score is either tied or within two points with two minutes remaining. They have lost all five, including Friday’s 103-98 loss at Dallas when the Mavericks outscored them 7-0 in the final two minutes. 过去这个月中，拓荒者有五场比赛都面临了"在最後两分钟内差2分"的情况，但他们全输掉 了，这其中自然也包括了星期五输给小牛的那场，且小牛在最後两分钟内打了一波7比0的 攻势。 In those five games -- losses at home to Oklahoma City, San Antonio and the Lakers and road games at the Clippers and Dallas -- the Blazers have made only 6-of-25 shots in the final two minutes with seven turnovers. From three-point range, the Blazers are 1-for-11 in those games. 这五场比赛分别是三场主场——对手是雷霆、马刺、湖人；及两场客场——对快艇和小牛 。总结这五场赛事的最後两分钟，拓荒者的投篮只有25投6中，另有七次失误，三分球则是 更惨烈的11投仅1中。 Damian Lillard, who early in the season was one of the NBA’s most productive late-game performers with game-winners at Detroit and Cleveland, has been especially shaky, going 1-for-6 from the field, 1-for-2 from the free throw line and committing four turnovers in the final two minutes of those games. His only basket was a meaningless, uncontested three-pointer with 0.2 seconds left of the loss to San Antonio. 曾两度在客场缔造绝杀(活塞跟骑士)，且季初更被视为联盟最具杀手特质的Damian Lillard，在这五场的最後两分钟表现也是荒腔走板，不仅投篮只有6投1中，罚球2罚中1， 更产生了4次失误。他唯一的进球是在对马刺时，终场前0.2秒所投进的三分，但那已经无 关胜败。 LaMarcus Aldridge hasn’t been any better, missing all five of his attempts in the final two minutes of those games, including all three shots at the end of the Dallas game, when he was otherwise spectacular. Aldridge的情况也没好到哪去，他五次出手全数落空，且尽管昨天那场表现优异，但在最 後两分钟内也是3投0中。 And Wesley Matthews hasn’t been able to find the range either, going 2-for-9, including 0-for-5 from three-point range, when the game has been on the line. 然而决胜期的Matthews也同样找不到手感，投篮9投2中，三分球更只有5投0中的挂蛋表现 。 “It’s a concern,’’ Stotts said Saturday in Houston. “I need to do a better job of putting guys in position to make plays. Part of my job is to put them in position to succeed. And lately, whether it’s missed shots, missed communication, turnovers, or poor shots, ultimately it’s on me.’’ Stotts教练星期六於Houston受访时表示: "那的确是个值得关注的问题。我想我需要在"让 球员在场上适得其所"的这方面表现得更好，我绝大部分的工作就是让他们在他们的位置上 获得成功。而对於近几场，无论是那些没进的球、场上的沟通失常、失误或是选择不佳的 投篮，那全都是我该负责的。" The Blazers (42-20) have encountered a variety of problems. At the Clippers they took three ill-advised three-pointers late in the game -- two by Nicolas Batum and one by Matthews -- that doomed them to a 122-117 loss. Against the Lakers, Lillard forced an ugly three-pointer at the buzzer that was contested after his defender didn’t go for a pump fake. Against the Mavericks, Lillard had two unforced turnovers and Aldridge had a crucial interior pass to Lillard sail high and into the stands. And sometimes, they just miss. 拓荒者遭遇了许多问题。在对快艇时的决胜期间，拓荒者做了三次莽撞的三分球出手， Batum投了两个，另一个则是Matthews，那也使他们最後以122-117输球；对湖人时，执行 最後一击的的Lillard在三分线外的假动作并没有骗到防守者，因此尽管受迫也不得不在枪 响时出手；而对小牛，Aldridge也发生了关键失误——他传了个过高的球给Lillard，球直 接飞到观众席。当然有的时候，他们只是投不进。 Stotts says he has a basic late-game philosophy when it comes to calling crunch-time plays.“Most of the time, I try to spread the floor, allow driving angles,’’ Stotts said. “I debate whether to ball-screen or not.’’ Stotts说他对於关键时刻有一套基本哲学: "大多数情况下，我试着拉开空间以制造切入机 会，并盘算是否要对持球者做掩护。" He said a lot of factors go into his decisions on who takes the late-game shots . Who is hot? Who has a good matchup? How much time is left? 他还说有许多因素让他决定由谁执行关键一击，像是谁手感发烫或是谁在对位上占有优势 ，以及还剩下多少时间。 Perhaps lately, he has been spending more time thinking about how he handles the offensive play calling late in games. On Saturday, he said he has been w atching how other coaches, and other teams, have been handling crunch time possessions. 最近他似乎花了不少时间思索他要如何在决胜时期的暂停中布局球队的进攻。星期六时他 说他近来都在观察其他教练及其他球队如何处理关键时刻的球权。 “I go back and watch these other games, and a lot of teams just give it to their best player and clear out, because there are fewer moving parts and you trust that guy can get you a shot,’’ Stotts said. Stotts说: "我回顾了许多别的球队的比赛，而很多球队他们都只是拉开空间，并将球交给 他们的最佳球员，因为这样省事而且你相信那家伙一定可以投进。" Stotts has not adopted that approach, as both Lillard and Aldridge have shared the majority of pressure-packed shots with the game in the balance. 而Stotts并没有选择这样策略，相反的，他让Lillard和Aldridge都有执行这样背负压力的 投篮的机会。 “The thing is, I have trust in them all,’’ Stotts said. “Whenever I run a play at the end of the game, it’s because I trust. I think you have to give your players that trust.’’ "重点是，我信任他们全部的人，无论在比赛末端执行怎样的战术，我都信任他们。我认为 你必须对你的球员有这样的信任。" Stotts said there hasn’t been any extra time spent on late-game execution in practice, because it’s such a difficult scenario to simulate because of the variety of matchups. Plus, he feels this Blazers team is good at adapting on the fly. Stotts教练说练习时并没有特别针对决胜期的战术演练，因为对手五花八门使得那样的情 境实在很难模拟。加上他觉得即使是在比赛中突然拟定的战术，拓荒者也有很好的执行力 。 “This team is one of my better teams executing coming out of a timeout, as far as drawing something up that we have not run, and executing it well,’’ Stotts said. “Like last night (in Dallas), LA caught it and they did a good job denying Damian, and LA threw the pass (out of bounds). We executed the play, but they defended it well by denying Damian the ball, so ...’’ In the season’s final 20 games, the late-game execution figures to be magnified even more. For the season, the Blazers are 2-6 in games decided by two points or less. In games decided by five points or less, the Blazers are 10-5. "这支球队在对於比赛中暂停时所拟定的东西的执行力，是我带过最好的队伍之一，即使是 依据我们从未跑过的战术，他们也都能执行的很好。像是昨晚(对小牛)，LA虽然接到了球 但他们对於切断给Lillard的传球路线上做的很棒，LA因此就这样传出界了。我们执行了战 术，但他们藉由阻止Lillard接到球因此把这球守了下来，所以...嗯" 因此在剩下的20场比赛里，关键时刻的执行力就更显爲重要。而这季当中，拓荒者在2分差 内的比赛战绩是2胜6败，而5分差内的则是10胜5败。 Whether Stotts turns to Aldridge, or Lillard, or Matthews or Batum ... it’s anybody’s guess. To Stotts, having that many options is a luxury, even when it doesn’t work out.“Look, if you win, you chose wisely,’’ Stotts said. “But the ultimate proof of the pudding is whether you win or not, or whether you make the shot or not. I have to do a better job making sure I put us in position to make that shot.’’ 大家总是会猜Stotts教练选择将胜败托付给谁，但对他而言，即使比赛最终结果不佳，但 拥有Aldridge、Lillard、Matthews或是Batum这麽多的选项仍然是种奢侈: "听着，只要赢 了就表示你的选择是聪明的，因为只有在你做出选择後，球队的胜败或是关键一击是否进 球，才足以证明这点。因此，我必须更能让球员们都可以在属於他们的位置上投进这种球 。" from OregonLive.com --
