http://0rz.tw/e040e This group is on same wavelength Yawn. Another night. An other double-digit win. 打个哈欠。又过了一晚。又是一场两位数的胜利。 We've seen it before. Many, many times. It started on Opening Night, when they effortlessly dispatched the Wizards by 20, and it continues in the playoffs, where the Celtics have won the first two games of their first-round series with the Atlanta Hawks by 23 (104-81) and last night's 19 (96-77). 我们以前就看过了。很多，很多次。从开幕战开始，当他们毫不费力地以20分之差处 理掉巫师队，持续到季後赛，Celtics在第一轮对上老鹰的系列战前两场，分别赢了 23(104-81)和昨晚的19分(96-77)。 The 2007-08 Celtics are the most subtly and ruthlessly efficient team the Celtics have ever had. Their M.O. is completely different than the methodology employed by all those other Celtics teams of yore, with all those gaudy win -loss records. 2007-8年球季的Celtics是最巧妙、最残酷地有效率的Celtics。他们的运作模式和往 昔Celtics的方法完全不一样，虽然都有些华丽的战绩纪录。 When the Russell-Cousy teams beat you badly, you knew it. When the Havlicek -Cowens teams beat you badly, you knew it. When the Larry-Kevin-Chief-DJ teams beat you badly, you knew it. Somewhere in there they'd hit you with a 14-0 or 20-2 fast break-oriented run and the crowd would be exploding and you knew you were getting your butt kicked. 当Russell和Cousy大胜你的时候，你会知道。当Havlicek和Cowens大胜你的时候，你 会知道。当Larry Bird、Kevin McHale、Robert Parish和Dennis Johnson大胜你的 时候，你会知道。比赛时的某段时间，他们会赏你一段14-0或是20-2的快攻得分，球 迷会大爆炸，你会知道你被狠狠痛宰了。 But this team doesn't operate that way. 但是这支球队不是这样运作的。 With this team, you think you're in the game, even if you aren't. This team isn't about runs; it's about stops. Defensive stops aren't sexy. Points are sexy, and points in rapid succession are sexier still. 跟这支球队打球，你会认为你还在比赛内，即使你已经不在了。这支球队不是有关於 得分，它们是关於阻挡。防守不是很性感的。得分是很性感，快速的连续得分是更性 感的。 Students of Atlanta Hawks history should know. The Celtics won Game 6 of a first-round series in 1973 with a devastating fourth-quarter run. The Celtics won the series-concluding fifth game of an Atlanta series in 1986 with a downright surreal 36-6 third quarter that concluded with a run of 24-0 on a Bill Walton trailer dunk. 亚特兰大老鹰队的学生应该知道。 Celtics在1973年的第一轮，靠着第四节一段摧枯 拉朽的得分赢球。Celtics靠着一段超现实的36-6的第三节得分，包括一段以Bill Walton拖车灌篮结尾的24-0，赢了1986年对老鹰系列战的第五场，晋级下一轮。 This team doesn't deal in tsunamis. This team makes you feel as if you're tied up on the beach and the tide is coming in and coming in and coming in, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. They get you with 6-2s, not 14-0s. They just keep making more stops than you, many more, in fact. 这支球队不会像海啸一样。这支球队让你感觉到好像被绑在沙滩上，潮水就一直来， 一直来，一直来，然而你无能为力。他们会给你一些 6-2，不是14-0。他们只是一直 把你挡下来，比你挡下他们的次数还多。事实上，是多的多。 If you never looked at a scoreboard last night, you might have thought the Celtics were leading by 10 or 12, when, in fact, they were winning by 18 or 20. It's an amazing phenomenon, and it happens all the time. 如果你昨晚从未注意过计分板，你会以为 Celtics领先10或12分，结果实际上，他们 领先18或20分。这是一个令人惊讶的现象，而总是在发生。 Last night's victory was the 47th by 10 or more points this season. That's 47 wins out of 68 by 10-plus, and that is a simply amazing stat. But in most of them the vanquished foe came away thinking that if only we had done this or that at a particular time, we could have won the game. 昨晚的胜利是这季第47场胜10分以上的比赛。68场胜利中的47场，这是一个很惊人的 数据。但是在大多数时候，对手会觉得如果某个时候，我们可以作到这个，或是作到 那个，我们其实有机会赢这场比赛。 It's ridiculous, of course. The Celtics are very good at making sure you're not in the game. And we know for sure the Hawks have not been in either of these games, although they did make some progress last night. 当然，这是很荒谬的。 Celtics非常擅於确定你不在比赛状态内。我们很确定老鹰队 这两场比赛就不在状况内，即便昨晚有点进步。 On Sunday night, their only lead was 2-0. Last evening, they led the Celtics as late as 7-5. At this rate they might actually win the 17th game in a best -of-35. 在星期天晚上，他们只取得过2-0领先。昨晚，他们领先 Celtics到7-5。按照这个比 率，他们在35战18胜的系列战会赢得第17场。 The Atlanta Hawks are young and, as we like to say, athletic. They've got four young bigs, as we like to say, under the age of 24. One of them, Josh Smith, is capable of some astonishing athletic feats. In each game he has made a sensational block at one end and then beaten every Celtic down the floor for a basket at the other end. The Celtics don't have anyone in that category. 老鹰队很年轻还有，像我们爱说的，富运动力。他们有四个年轻的长人，像我们爱说 的，低於24岁。其中之一，Josh Smith，可以作出一些夸张的运动表演。两场比赛他 各有一次在防守端轰动的火锅，然後比每一个 Celtics球员跑的都快，在另一端进攻 得分。Celtics可没有这种球员。 But does he know how to play basketball? Ah, no. Not yet. And he's not alone. 但是他知道如何打篮球吗？啊，不，还不知道。而且他不是唯一一个。 The Celtics do. They know how to make life easy for each other on both offense and defense. We need look no farther than the assist totals. The Celtics had 23 assists on 35 baskets. The Hawks needed 46 minutes to get their 10th assist. With them, it's been strictly my turn, your turn, my turn, my turn, my turn basketball. Celtics知道。他们知道如何在进攻和防守时，让彼此的生活舒服一点。我们只要看 看助攻总数就好。 Celtics在35个进球有23个助攻，老鹰队则是花了46分钟才达到10 次助攻。看看这些数字，严格来说就是我进攻，你进攻，我进攻，我进攻，我进攻。 OK, we know a coach has got to be a coach, so after two games, here's what concerns Doc Rivers. 好吧，我们知道教练必须要尽教练的责任。所以两场比赛以後，以下是Doc Rivers教 练的忧虑。 1. There are a few too many jump shots for his taste. "We had one stretch where we went 6, 7, 8, 9 times down the floor taking jump shots," Rivers said. "If everything's jump shots, we're playing wrong. We need to mix in some posts and drives." 1. 对他来说，有太多太多跳投。”有一段时间，我们就在场上跳投6次、7次、8次、 9次。”Rivers说 ”如果全部都是跳投，我们就打错方法了。我们必须参进一点低位 和切入。” 2. "Too many silly fouls," he pointed out. "We're giving them free throws with three or four seconds left on the [24-second] clock, 30 feet from the basket." 2.“太多愚蠢的犯规了。”他指出”我们让他们在进攻时间剩三、四秒的时间，离篮 框还有30尺远的地方上罚球线。” 3. "We're not closing out quarters well," he said. "We're getting away with it, but that allows teams to stay in the game. They're a young, aggressive team. If you give them hope, you're playing with fire." 3.“我们每节收尾都打的不好。”他说”我们侥幸逃脱了，但是这让他们可以留在球 赛里。他们是年轻、有侵略性的球队。如果我们给他们希望，你就是在玩火。” All this is correctable. If you're the Atlanta Hawks, it's not so simple. 全部都是可以改正的。如果你是老鹰队，就没这麽简单了。 The Celtics are beating them in every way possible, starting at the point guard position, where Rajon Rondo is embarrassing Mike Bibby, who is being targeted by the Garden patrons after being quoted as calling them, among other things, "fair-weather fans." In the first two games, Rondo has 27 points and 17 assists. Bibby has 17 points and two assists, and he's shooting 4 for 17 from the floor. Celtics在任何可能的地方击败他们，从控球後卫开始，Rajon Rondo让Mike Bibby出 糗了，後者称呼波士顿球迷”战绩球迷”，所以被观众盯上了。在前两场比赛，Rondo 共有27分17助攻，Bibby有17分2助攻，出手17球只进了4球。 But it's worse than that. Rondo has been a major disruptive force on defense, "He's playing terrific," saluted Rivers. "He's pressuring the ball as well as he's done all year. There have been times they've come out of a timeout and can't get in to their stuff because one man is on the ball." 但是比这还糟。Rondo是防守上一股重要的毁灭力量，”他打的很好”Rivers致意"他 像这季以来一样地压迫球。有好几次他们喊完暂停，却跑不出想要的战术，就是因为 这个人在压迫。” The game's outcome never being in doubt after the first quarter, the crowd amused itself by in the second half by serenading Bibby. They started with, "Bibby [You Know What]." Then it was "Where is Bibby?" when he sat on the bench early in the fourth quarter. Next they chanted, "Bib-by." They concluded with a rollicking "Rondo's bet-ter." 这场球赛的结果在第一节结束後就没有疑问了，观众藉由向 Bibby唱歌在下半场娱乐 自己。一开始是”Bibby[你知道吗]”。然後第四节他一开始在板凳上时是”Bibby你 在哪里”。然後他们大喊”Bib-by”。最後他们以”Rondo’s bet-ter”作结。 It's not like there was ever any suspense, or anything to worry about. The Celtics took the Hawks out of everything, harassing them into 22 turnovers, good for 24 Celtics points. And how often does a modern NBA team make zero threes? Or attempt the ridiculously low number of five? You think the Celtics' defense might have had something to do with this? 过程没什麽悬疑，也没什麽好担心的。 Celtics剥夺了老鹰队的全部，骚扰他们制造 了22次失误，藉此得了24分。然後有多常看到一支近代的 NBA球队没投进半颗三分球 ？或者荒谬地只出手五次？你认为Celtics的防守也许跟这有点关系吗？ So what if Kevin Garnett had a rare off night shooting (6 for 18)? So what if the Celtics shot a modest 41.7 percent from the floor? So what if the biggest Celtic run in the final 38 minutes of the game was 10-4? KG有个难得的熄火(18投中6)夜晚又如何？ Celtics的命中率只有普通的41.7%又如何 ？Celtics在最後的38分钟内，打出的最大一波进攻只是10-4又如何？ You don't need any big waves when you are a tide that is coming in and coming in and coming in. 你不需要任何大浪，因为你是如潮水般一直来，一直来，一直来。 --
