Celtics-Cavaliers Preview By BRETT HUSTON, STATS Writer Posted Oct 26 2009 4:09PM 2009-10 Stats at a Glance There are plenty of uncertainties surrounding the future of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics as they're currently constructed, and after discouraging playoff exits for both teams, the pressure to win now has only increased. 骑士与塞尔提克本季都充满许多不确定性，在上季双双季後赛失利後，争冠的压力更 大了。 Shaquille O'Neal and Rasheed Wallace have some experience doing just that. The veteran big men may eventually make a difference for their new teams in the postseason, but the spotlight will still be on reigning MVP - and potential free agent - LeBron James and Boston's Big Three in the NBA's season opener Tuesday night as the Cavaliers seek a 12th straight home win over the Celtics. Shaquille O'Neal和Rasheed Wallace也许在季後赛能为新球队发挥影响力，不过开幕 战的观战焦点仍然集中在LeBron James和Big Three身上，骑士将寻求主场对塞尔提克 的第十二场连胜。 Cleveland (66-16) and Boston (62-20) were the top two seeds in the Eastern Conference last season, and considering they had represented the East in the past two NBA finals, but both teams were ousted by the Orlando Magic. The Celtics fell in seven games in the conference semifinals before the Cavaliers were eliminated in six in the East finals. 骑士和塞尔提克分别是上季东区的前二种子，且都被预期能代表东区进入冠军战，但 先後败给了魔术而遭淘汰。 Those postseason failures sparked Cleveland general manager Danny Ferry and Boston counterpart Danny Ainge to tinker with their respective rosters, but that wasn't all on the minds of the two Eastern powers. James can opt out of his contract following this season, and Ray Allen can do likewise with the Celtics, leaving the possibility Boston may rebuild around point guard Rajon Rondo considering the mileage on veterans Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. 这次的季後赛失利让两队的GM试图对阵容做出改变，不过这不是他们唯一要担心的事， LeBron James和Ray Allen在本季结束後都能选择跳出合约，使得Boston思考围绕Rondo 重建而交易KG和Pierce的可能性。 The Cavaliers signed free agent swingmen Anthony Parker and Jamario Moon while Boston added similar versatility in Marquis Daniels. The biggest changes, though, came at center - Cleveland jettisoned Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic to Phoenix for three-time finals MVP O'Neal, while the Celtics signed Wallace, a four-time All-Star who's been on a playoff team for 13 consecutive seasons. 骑士队签下自由球员Anthony Parker和Jamario Moon，塞尔提克签下Marquis Daniels， 最大的改变则是在中锋上，骑士用Ben Wallace和Sasha Pavlovic和太阳换来O'Neal， 塞尔提克则签下Rasheed Wallace。 "I've heard, 'Is Shaq good for their team?' Like, how could he not be?'' Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "I'll take him. He gives them size, he gives them another post player, he gives them a great passer. He gives them a rebounder. He's one of the most intimidating forces in the league." "O'Neal能不能给骑士带来帮助?"塞尔提克教练Doc River说。"我认为可以，他有体型， 有经验，能传球，能抢篮板，他是联盟最有威胁性的球员之一。" While the burly O'Neal will partner with the solid shooting of backup center Zydrunas Ilgauskas to give Cavaliers coach Mike Brown two very different big men, Boston should have the same luxury on the interior. Center Kendrick Perkins is a consistent scorer in the low post, while Wallace, who's attempted 4.6 3-pointers a game over the past four seasons, provides a threat on the perimeter. O'Neal加上有射程的替补中锋大Z，骑士拥有两名不同类型的大个球员，塞尔提克则拥有 同样豪华的禁区阵容，Perkins能在低位得分，而Wallace的射程则远达三分线。 "He'll spread the floor offensively, something we've never had,'' Rivers said. "Heck, most people don't have a (center) sitting behind the 3-point line. Defensively, he's been terrific. He's also going to give us some post play on the offensive end.'' "他能给球队带来更多攻击性，这是我们之前缺乏的，"Rivers说。"大多数球队没有一 个射程远达三分的中锋，他在防守上也相当顽强。 The other thing Wallace adds is a hot temper, having been whistled for 291 technical fouls since entering the league in 1995. 另一方面Wallace也能给球队带来更多激情，他自1995年以来累积了291次技术犯规。 O'Neal has 117 himself since Wallace debuted, and many feel his dynamic personality won't mesh with James'. 这段时间内O'Neal只有117次，而许多人质疑他的个性与LBJ是否合得来。 "People look too far into individuals than the team aspect of things,'' James said. "They think two stars can't coexist. But it's not just about me and Shaq, it's about the whole team. Me and Shaq can't do it by ourselves. We need everybody on the floor to work hard every day to make this thing happen.'' "人们把个人看得太重了，"LBJ说。"他们认为一山不容二虎，但对我和Shaq这不是问题， 我们是一支队伍，个人角色没这麽重要。" While All-Star point guard Mo Williams gives James a secondary scorer, Cavaliers guard and former Celtic Delonte West didn't play during the preseason after being arrested last month for carrying three loaded guns while riding a motorcycle. In addition, his wife reportedly filed a domestic violence report over the weekend. 虽然有Mo Williams做为球队第二得分手，Delonte West却有许多麻烦。 On Monday, Brown said that West would likely be inactive for Tuesday night's game. 星期一的时候，Brown说West应该不会在开幕战上场。 Wallace likely will join Daniels on Boston's second unit along with Eddie House, Glen Davis and Shelden Williams. Wallace and Williams should provide quality depth in case Garnett's surgically repaired right knee, which caused him to miss 25 games last season, hampers him. Wallace, Daniels, Eddie House, Glen Davis和Shelden Williams组成Boston的替补 阵容，Wallace和Williams能给伤癒复出的KG足够的替补深度。 Davis, who played well in Garnett's absence last season, is out indefinitely with an injured right hand. 去年替补KG表现不错的Glen Davis则因伤报销一段时间。 Garnett, the 2007-08 defensive player of the year, Pierce and the Celtics have held James to 40.0 percent shooting in 14 combined regular-season and playoff games the past two seasons, but James has averaged 30.3 points on 45.1 percent shooting in his past seven games against the Celtics at Quicken Loans Arena, while Pierce has been held to 14.7 points while shooting 34.3 percent. KG是07-08年的最佳防守球员，塞队在过去14场对战中则把LBJ的命中率压低至40%， 但在最近七场的骑士主场则被LBJ以45.1%的命中率平均拿下30.3分，而Pierce仅有34.3% 的命中率拿下14.7分。 The Cavaliers have won 11 straight at home over Boston by an average of 12.8 points, with their last loss coming in overtime on Dec. 18, 2004. Overall, the home team has won 16 consecutive games in the series. 骑士在主场已经对塞尔提克拿下11连胜，平均胜分12.8分，上一场落败要追溯到2004年的 12月18日。这个对战组合已连续16场由主场球队获胜。 --
