Blame brouhaha on burger GM Paxson refutes charge that Bulls tried to run up score April 12, 2007 BY BRIAN HANLEY [email protected] At least Steve Francis was able to talk a good game Tuesday. The New York Knicks guard -- who scored six points in 30 minutes -- claimed the Bulls tried to run up the score at the end of their 98-69 rout at the United Center. 尼克队後卫声称公牛队在98-69的大幅领先下还是着要继续将比数拉开. 而他当晚的成绩是上场30分钟得6分. The victory was all but assured in the first quarter, when the Knicks scored 10 points, a season low for a Bulls opponent. What mattered most for the Bulls was that the win locked up home-court advantage in at least the first round of the playoffs. It bolstered their hold on the No.2 seed by a half-game over Cleveland, which would give them home court through at least two rounds. And the victory improved the Bulls' chances for a lottery pick in the June draft because they own the right to swap first-round selections with the fading Knicks as part of the Eddy Curry trade. 除了第一节外公牛们一路领先,并且使得尼克得到本季最低的单节10分. 而对公牛最重要的则是这场胜利使得他们确定拥有了第一轮主场优势. 也使他们第二种子坐的更稳,现在领先骑士半场胜差了. 如果是第二种子则会有至少两轮的主场优势. 而这场胜利也使公牛今年选秀会更有机会拿到前面顺位, 因为尼克今年的第一轮选秀权在Eddy Curry的交易中给公牛了. (这就是所谓的一兼二顾,摸蚬仔兼洗裤吗??) None of that mattered to Francis, who had his finger in the face of Bulls rookie Tyrus Thomas as the final buzzer sounded. (因为没看比赛,这个动作到底是怎样我不知道,不过显然是很挑衅的) Thomas helped defend a last-second layup attempt by Nate Robinson, who was restrained from going after Thomas by Knicks coaches. 而Thomas最後对Nate Robinson的防守,也使他一度想上前理论,幸亏被教练团挡了下来. ''I told their players if I was in the game, it would have been something different,'' Francis said. ''If it was a threat or whatever, I'm a veteran and I won't do that to anybody, and I don't expect anybody to do that to the younger players on our team.'' "我告诉他们,如果我在场上,那将会有很大的不一样"Francis说到 "你可以说这是警告或什麽,我是个老兵,而我不会对任何人这样做,当然我也不希望 人家对,我们队上的年轻小夥子这样做" The Bulls scored 20 points to the Knicks' 19 in the fourth quarter as coach Scott Skiles sat his starters after his team led 78-50 through the third. 公牛第四节得了20分而尼克19分,在第三节结束大幅领先後,教练便将先发放在板凳了. Bulls general manager John Paxson wondered Wednesday what more his coach and players could have done. 总管John Paxson说他们想知道还能为尼克多做什麽 (这句话翻的不顺,感谢bigdeal协助) ''Players are asked to play an entire game, and as long as there is a 24-second clock, players have a responsibility to play the game on the offensive end,'' Paxson said. ''Are we supposed to tell our players to kick the ball in the stands or hand the ball to them so the score can be closer? "球员们被要求要打一整场比赛,而且有24秒的进攻限制,球员们有责任去完成进攻的动作" "难道我们得要求球员们踢球或是送球给对手,去让比数接近些吗?" Paxson如是说 ''I was around when the Bulls won 15 and 17 games [a season] and were often on the losing end of 30-, 40-point games and never heard the Bulls organization accuse another team of running up the score. Our players are professional, and I am proud of how they handle themselves.'' "我们在公牛整季只拿到15或17胜的那段黑暗期也常常有动辄30.40分的输球 不过倒是没听到球团去指控对手刻意拉开比数,而我也为我的球员们感到骄傲, 他们很专业,而且可以把持住自己" One mitigating factor was that the crowd was encouraging the Bulls to hit 100 points, which would have allowed the 22,296 fans to redeem their tickets for a free Big Mac as part of a promotion for McDonald's. 一个被大众所能接受的理由是说,当公牛得到100分的时候球迷们可以拿票根 去麦当劳换一个麦香堡. The Bulls scored four points in the final five minutes, during which they were 1-for-9 from the field. 在最後五分钟公牛得到4分,而这段期间他们是投9中1. ''We just wanted to do something for the fans,'' said guard Chris Duhon, who made two free throws with 2:46 left to give the Bulls a 96-64 lead. ''I don't cook, so I wanted one myself. We certainly didn't mean any disrespect.'' 这段话大家都知道了XD The Knicks believed differently. Center Jerome James, who didn't play Tuesday, tried to head toward the Bulls as they entered their locker room, but was restrained by teammates. 尼克队认为事情不是这麽简单,James试图冲进公牛的更衣室而被队友们阻止了. (昨天这段没翻好.意思是这样子的) ''Their coach played in the NBA before; he should know that,'' Francis said. ''If somebody did that to him, I'm pretty sure he'd be upset.'' Francis说 "Skiles自己也当过球员阿,他自己应该知道" "如果有人这样对他,我相信他一定会发飙" Skiles said he never has been accused of running up the score, adding: ''We also have guys that deserve to play and don't get to play that much. If we had 92 with two minutes to go and we're out there jacking threes all over the place, I could see that.'' 这段话昨天有了 反正意思就是我们已经很客气了XD -- 今天的新闻一直围绕在麦香堡XD 其实我希望大家赶快和解不要再放话了 因为我也很喜欢Starbury^^ 还是一样,翻的不甚通顺,有错误烦请指证 感激不尽 --
