If things go as planned, the Celtics should be expecting a call from President Obama or President McCain next June. 这个新任的NBA总冠军刚从白宫回来。如果一切如愿的话，在明年的六月份他们还有希望接 到Obama总统或者是McCain总统的电话。 (1) Expert Picks J.A.Adande：Most of the central players return, but will the urgency? Strong Finals finish overshadowed the fact the Celtics were almost shown the door in the first round. 大部分关键球员都留了下来，但是这是最重要的吗？总决赛的强大表现掩盖了他们在第一轮 就差点出局的事实，解决这个问题才是迫在眉睫的吧。 Jon Barry：Still believe the Big 3 can make a run. J.R. Giddens could be the new James Posey for them now that Darius Miles, who could have been a major X factor, was cut. 我还是相信三巨头能做出一些不错的表现。J.R. Giddens会是新一代的Posey。 那个可能会成为最关键X因数的Miles，算了，不提了，都被裁掉了。 Chris Broussard：The chemistry among the Big 3 should be even better, and Rondo will rise. No Posey, but the bench may be improved. Bill Walker has the makings of an impact role player. 三巨头起的化学作用还会更加强烈，而且rondo在成长。虽然没有了Posey，可是板凳 深度还是可以加强的。Bill Walker看起来也是个狠角色。 Ric Bucher：Losing Posey hurts, but don't underestimate the growth of Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins and Leon Powe. 失去Posey固然对波士顿伤害很大，可是你别低估了rondo，perk还有阿炮的成长。. Chad Ford： I'm not sure the Celtics will be as dominant as last season, but KG, Paul Pierce and (maybe) Ray Allen have enough left in the tank. As long as they get a significant bench contribution, the C's will play for the title. 我对这个赛季CELTICS能否像去年一样强大还是有点不确信，但是KG,PP或许再加上个RA足 够让这个装甲部队看上去很有实力。只要他们能在板凳席上有个重头戏，那CELTICS会为了 冠军而战的。(注：这段最後两句翻得很怪，请高人指点......) Jemele Hill：A little hangover is expected after last year's emotional season. The key to a Celtics repeat is Rajon Rondo. If he's a weapon on offense, it'll be nearly impossible to stop this team. 在激情澎湃的上个赛季过後,一些"後遗症"是可以预料到的.。而CELTICS要卫冕的关键就是 ---rondo.如果这个正太可以在进攻端火力全开.这支恐怖的队伍几乎是不可阻挡的. John Hollinger：They're unlikely to match 66 wins, but with up-and-comers like Rondo, Powe and Perkins surrounding the Big 3 (we can call them that since they've won a ring, right?), this is clearly the team to beat in the East -- with or without Posey. 他们未必还能拿66胜的战绩，可是随着日渐强大的rondo，阿炮还有perk守护着三巨头（或 者我们也可以叫他们三个三巨头，他们不是已经拿下一个冠军了吗？！）那它无疑是东部最 好的球队——不管这里有没有POSEY。. Jalen Rose：The champs lost key role players in James Posey and P.J. Brown. The bench will need to cover those holes but they kept their starting five intact. That includes Pierce, Garnett and Allen. Rajon Rondo has emerged and Doc Rivers is among the coaching elite. 这个冠军球队少了冠军关键角色球员POSEY跟PJ。板凳席上的漏洞需要球队来填补，不过 他们保留了他们的先发五虎——那里有PP,KG.RA 。老大羽翼开始丰满，当然还有强 大的护法坐阵。 Chris Sheridan：After spending time with them, what struck me was the level of intensity Kevin Garnett brings from Day 1. The tone set by Garnett in October and November is what spurred them to 66 wins last year. I see them with at least 60 this season. 在跟他们相处过之後最让我震撼的是从KG来第一天起带来的超强水平。在去年的十月份和 十一月份KG就给CELTICS打好了胜利的基础，这直接导致了那66场胜利。这个赛季我看好他 们起码60胜。 Marc Stein：Even without Posey -- and even in a conference that got slightly deeper -- Boston actually is a better bet to win the East than it was a year ago. Only Cleveland (or major injuries) can keep the Celts from getting back to the Finals. 即便是没有POSEY，即便是自信心没有当初那麽强烈，可是事实上波士顿比去年还有可 能去拿下东部冠军。只有骑士（或者是自身的伤病）能阻止CELTICS再次走到总决赛。 (2) Hollinger Analysis Team Strength: Teamwork The Celtics have a lot of good players, but I don't think anybody who watched last season's Finals thought they were more talented than the Lakers. What they had instead was cohesion, hunger and effort. Boston operated on the San Antonio model of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts, except in this case the model was on steroids, figuratively speaking. CELTICS有一大批优秀的球员，不过我认为看过上个赛季总决赛的球迷们一般会觉得CELTICS 将士的天赋比湖人众将也许要稍微逊色一些。然而，他们比湖人拥有更强的团队凝聚力， 对胜利的渴望以及为此付出的努力。打个比方说，San Antonio的关於在一起运行的整体将 会大大优於仅仅将每个部分总和到一起的这一理论，被CELTICS执行地淋漓尽致，除非这个 比方是用类固醇作赌注的。 It all starts with the three stars: Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. It seems they found each other at the perfect time, when they'd already received all the individual accolades they could hope for, and each bought in completely to what Thibodeau and Rivers were selling. With a hustling, committed group around them, Boston's defense turned ferocious overnight. 上赛季发生的一切都始於三巨头：Garnett, Pierce和Allen。似乎他们总能够在最准确的时 候发现彼此，当他们已经可以被授予任何个人荣誉的时候他们希望能够将这所有都归功於 Thibodeau和Rivers所做的一切。就是在这样一群群情激昂的斗士们战斗下，CELTICS的防 守能够凶猛一整夜。 It helps that all the pieces fit so well. Perkins isn't a major talent, but his brute force made him a perfect frontcourt partner for the hyper but not terribly physical Garnett. The ability of Allen and Garnett to hit long jumpers made it that much harder for defenders to focus on containing Pierce, while Rajon Rondo's inability to shoot from distance was less of an issue because of all the shooting surrounding him. 有这麽一些因素使得CELTICS发挥地如此优异：Perkins虽然并不是最重要的巨头，但是他 的强力攻击可以在前场大大支援素质出众但是身体并不特别强壮的Garnett。另一方面， 因为Allen和Garnett出色的中远投能力使得敌方防守时更难把注意力只集中在制约Pierce身 上，所以尽管Rondo在中远距离投篮方面的稍显无力，但这也无关紧要，因为几乎所有的投 篮都在围绕他进行。 basketball Noah's Ark. Rivers could look to his bench and find two shooters (House and Posey), two wing defenders (Posey and Allen), two point guards (Eddie House and Sam Cassell), two scorers (House and Leon Powe), and two post defenders (P.J. Brown and Glen Davis). He could play small, big, offense or defense at the snap of a finger, and often did. 另外，虽然板凳球员没有先发五虎的出色能力，但是他们组成了一艘强大的篮球诺亚方舟。 Rivers可以随时在他的板凳球员中找到两名“神射手”（House和Posey),两名“出色的摇摆 人防守队员”（Posey和Allen），两名组织後卫（House和Cassell），两名得分好手（ House和Leon Powe），两名“低位防守队员”（PJ和Glen　Davis）。他可以打小前或者 大前，他可以在任何时候出色胜任进攻端和防守端。 Subtracting Brown and Posey changes that picture a little, but keep in mind that other veterans will look to sign with Boston at midseason again this season. Additionally, Powe seems ready to take on a greater role after playing extremely well in limited minutes the previous two seasons, and Tony Allen also seems primed for improved results. 少了PJ和Posey之後CELTICS改变了一小部分，可是你也需要记住在赛程过半後，同样会 有经验丰富的老兵加盟这支队伍。此外，在前2个赛集中的有限时间里表现相当抢眼的Powe 已经做好准备扮演一个更重要的角色。Tony 也似乎迫不及待想要展示自己进步的成果了。 As a whole then, this team should once again vastly overachieve what might be expected by looking at their individual numbers. 大体来说，你会发现，整个球队取得的进步远比你仅仅观察个人取得的进步要更多。 --------------------------------------------------- 虽说现在开季也没多久啦...... 我个人倒觉得摇摆人替补问题很快就浮上台面了......囧 只有三巨头的健康才是真的~~~~ GO GO CELTICS~~~ # --
