http://tinyurl.com/6pj3k Posted on Mon, Jan. 10, 2005 Warriors' slide reaches five after Raptors rally By Marcus Thompson II CONTRA COSTA TIMES TORONTO - Warriors forward Troy Murphy came upon coach Mike Montgomery's clipboard resting on the scorer's table as he walked toward the bench during a third-quarter timeout. 勇士队前锋 Troy Murphy 在第三节一次暂停时，走向板凳区， 刚好看到教练的写字板躺在记分员的桌上。 Murphy lifted his left fist and pounded it into the clipboard, which broke into three pieces and cut his knuckles. Murphy 举起他的左拳，往写字板打下去， 写字板就碎了成三块，还割伤了他的指关节。 "That thing just shattered," Murphy said, intimating he barely punched it. "What kind of cheap clipboard is that?" Murphy 暗示说，他只是轻轻的打了一下， "那玩意儿就这样破碎了，那是什麽烂写字板啊？" (大哥，明明是你太猛....) The Warriors were much like that clipboard Sunday. Punched by the Toronto Raptors' furious third-quarter rally, the Warriors came apart, falling 109-87 at the Air Canada Centre and extending their losing streak to five games. 勇士队在星期天的比赛中，就像是那块写字板一样， 被暴龙队在第三节彻底击败，最後以 109-87 输球， 连败场次到达了五场。 The Raptors (13-22) ran off 15 straight points, turning a 54-all tie at the 6:21 mark into a 69-54 lead with 2:58 left in the third quarter. The lead grew to 78-61 by the end of the quarter, as Toronto made 16 of 21 shots (76.2 percent) in the period, and got as big as 107-77 late in the fourth quarter. "We just didn't have any answers," Montgomery said. "We're kind of operating on a little bit of a thin ... we're ... what's the word I'm looking?" Montgomery 教练说，"我们没有办法做出任何回应。 我们的阵容目前有一点薄弱....我们现在....嗯，我该用什麽字形容呢？" Before finding the right word, Montgomery went on to explain how the Warriors don't have much with which to fight adversity. Their confidence is probably lower than it was during the six-game losing streak to open the season. 在找到适合的字之前，Montgomery 教练接着解释， 勇士队是怎麽个没有办法跟对手对抗。 他们的信心大概比开季六连败的时候还要低。 They're on the road. They're playing without guard Jason Richardson, whose return from a sprained left ankle is still uncertain, and forward Eduardo Najera, who will miss at least two more weeks after knee surgery. Also, guard Mickael Pietrus is playing on a tender right ankle. 他们目前是客场比赛。Jason Richardson 无法上场， 而且他扭伤的左脚踝，不知道何时能够痊癒。 前锋 Eduardo Najera 动了膝盖手术，最少两周不能上场。 另外，後卫 Mickael Pietrus 虽然可以上场，但是他的右脚踝依然疼痛。 Even more, Murphy and point guard Speedy Claxton, the team's top scoring options with Richardson out, have struggled offensively on this road trip. Murphy finished with eight points on 2-for-14 shooting and 13 rebounds Sunday; Claxton had 11 points on 4-for-11 shooting and five assists. The two have combined to average 17.3 points on 27.3 percent shooting (18-for-66) over the last three games. 除此之外，Murphy 跟控球後卫 Speedy Claxton 在 Richardson 受伤之後， 成为了球队的得分主力，但是他们在这次的客场之旅也进攻表现不佳。 "We have no places to go, no places to turn," Montgomery said. So when Sunday's blow came, in the form of "bad calls" in the third quarter, the Warriors crumbled. Raptors forward Morris Peterson ran over Claxton as he nailed a runner, which started the 15-0 run, but no offensive foul was called. Toronto point guard Rafer Alston, who about a minute earlier scored on a layup to snap a streak of 23 consecutive missed field goal attempts, hit a 20-footer to give the Raptors a 58-54 lead with 5:32 left. On the Warriors' ensuing possession, Murphy was called for an offensive foul though it appeared Toronto center Rafael Araujo flopped -- which led to the clipboard assault. After the timeout, Peterson nailed the free throw for Montgomery's technical foul, Alston hit a 3-pointer, Araujo scored inside and Eric Williams nailed a 3-pointer to force another Warriors timeout. Then Chris Bosh hit a jumper to cap the 15-0 run. "When they're making every shot and you're not making shots, then ain't really much you can do," said swingman Calbert Cheaney, who made his fourth consecutive start in place of Richardson. "The first four or five minutes of the quarter we were going back and forth. Then we started missing shots and they kept making them. That's when you've got to dig even deeper." But it was clear the Warriors had nothing left. The momentum Toronto gained from the two unfortunate calls and its hot shooting was a current too strong to fight. The low confidence from the lack of recent success was a hurdle too high to clear. The gaping holes in the roster from the injuries were a reality too bleak to face. So the Warriors wilted. "I guess the word I'm kind of looking for is," Montgomery said, finally coming up with a fitting adjective, "we're kind of fragile right now." 最後，Montgomery 教练终於找到适当的形容词了。 "我想，我在找的那个字是，我们现在有点脆弱。" Just like that clipboard. 就跟那个写字板一样。 ~~~~ 被电的比赛过程，跟可能的裁判误判就懒得翻了～ 有兴趣的自己看英文，或者去抓比赛看。 -- 我宁可跟笔交朋友也不交笔友.... 我很喜欢上网但是我不上网友.... --
