New Jersey Nets comfortable with mediocrity -- for now
by

Mediocrity is rarely an ambition, and, especially in sports, it has all the
glamour of a Turnpike off-ramp. But for a select few, mediocrity can be a
temporary aspiration, especially when it is an indication of exceeded
expectations.
平庸 － 这个词似乎永远不会用来形容那些真正有抱负的人，尤其在体育活动中
更是如此。但对於极少数的人来说，平庸的表现可说是一种暂时性的成就，尤其
当他们已经表现得超乎预期的时候。
The Nets are one such example. They are mediocre right now, and that's good.
篮网目前的状况就是如此，虽然他们现在看似平庸，但这没什麽不好。
"A lot of people probably didn't think we would be here," guard Keyon Dooling
said after the Nets beat the Clippers Saturday night. "But we're not content
with .500. I think there's still a lot of room for improvement."
「很多人都认为我们无法达到这样的成绩，但五成胜率还不能满足我们，我认为
我们还有很大的进步空间。」篮网队後卫 Keyon Dooling在打败快艇的比赛之後
发表了这样的宣言。
A .500 record is the very essence of mediocrity, but at 6-6, the Nets can
assume a real sense of accomplishment, even if only about 15 percent of the
schedule has been played.
The reason is that few people expected even this level of competence from a
completely remade roster with eight new players, including two rookies in the
regular rotation.
五成胜率可以说是标准的「平庸的表现」，但对现在六胜六败的篮网来说却无疑
是一种成就，毕竟没有人可以预料到一支几乎完全重整的球队可以达到这样的地
步（球队中拥有八张新面孔，其中还包含两只菜鸟），尽管他们只完成了大约百
分之十五的赛程。
Picked by many in the preseason to finish last in the Eastern Conference, the
Nets have been a bit of a surprise with their recent results, including four
victories in their last five games. Along the way they have beaten the
Pistons, the Raptors in Toronto, and swept a home-and-home sequence over the
Hawks.
Friday night, after their transformative overtime victory in Toronto, they
had any number of reasons to come out flat, and maybe even lose, to the
Clippers a night later. But they didn't, and now they are in ninth place in
the Eastern Conference at 6-6.
尽管在开季时篮网队被许多专家评点为东区垫底的球队，但他们最近五战四胜的
表现却跌破了这些人的眼镜，他们打败了活赛队、暴龙队，并连续击败了老鹰队
两次。而在周五击败暴龙队之後，所有人都觉得周六对快艇的比赛该输球了吧？
但结果却恰恰相反，篮网队击沉了快艇，以六胜六败的战绩暂居东区第九的位置。
"It's definitely a step, I think, for the first time this year," forward
Jarvis Hayes said. "Along with a good team, we want to be a playoff team. I
know a lot of people picked us last in the East. That's definitely
motivation. We keep playing like we did the last two (games) and we'll be a
really good team."
前锋 Javis Hayes说：「这是很重要的一步，这是今年我们第一次达到五成胜率
（这是第三次了....老大，你的记性不太好啊～）。和那些强队一样，我们也将
目标放在季後赛，我知道很多人认为我们会在东区垫底，对我们而言这绝对是一
种刺激，我们会把整个球季打得像过去两场一样，我相信我们也是一支强队。」
After dispatching the Clippers, who at 2-11 would covet mediocrity, coach
Lawrence Frank was in an understandably good mood, considering how his team
followed up one emotional victory with another more pedestrian one. But he
wasn't about to start crowing over where his team fits in the standings just
yet.
"The schedule is about improvement," he said. "Sometimes it will show in
wins, sometimes it won't. It's developing our players, getting them to play
together, getting them to play for each other. The wins will take care of
themselves."
在击败快艇之後，教练 Lowrence Frank 理所当然地感到心情还不赖，毕竟他的
球队刚取得了一场激情的胜利；但他并不因此而鸣鸣自得，显然也不以球队现在
的战绩为满。他说：「赛程的强度会渐渐增加，有时候我们会停下胜利的脚步，
但无论如何我们的球员会在比赛中不断地成长，会越来越团结，会为自己和队友
而战，在这个过程中胜利会自然而然地降临。」

"The schedule is about improvement," he said. "Sometimes it will show in
wins, sometimes it won't. It's developing our players, getting them to play
together, getting them to play for each other. The wins will take care of
themselves."
被问到篮网目前为止是否打得比预测的趋势好，尤其当一支这麽年轻的球队还受
到伤兵问题困扰时，Frank 只说胜败不是重点，一切都只是球队成长过程中的必
经之路而已。他说：「对我们来说，没有什麽趋势的问题，我不认为球员们会受
到影响。身为教练团，我们不会将那些当作重点，我们只会全心投入，想办法让
这些球员变得更好，如此而已。」
There is still plenty of room for improvement as the Nets prepare for a tough
West Coast trip. They are allowing 103.2 points per game, which is
second-worst in the NBA. They are allowing teams to shoot 42 percent from the
3-point line, which is also second-worst in the league, but is actually an
improvement from two games ago when they were the worst.
Their rebounding differential, plus 1.5, is decent, and they are seventh in
the league in assists per game at 18.8.
在开始艰难的西岸之旅之前，篮网还有很大的进步空间。他们目前平均每场球被
对手得 103.2分，联盟中第二高；而他们让对手投进的三分球命中率高达 42%，
也在联盟中排名第二。当然，和以前比起来已经有所进步了，在过去两场比赛之
前篮网队这两项数据都是联盟中倒数第一。
至於篮板球的部分，比联盟平均多了 1.5颗，算还不错，而每场比赛 18.8 个助
攻则是排在联盟第七的位置。
Vince Carter and Devin Harris are proving a much more formidable backcourt
than many expected, averaging 24.3 and 23.2 points per game respectively, and
when Harris has played the Nets are 6-3. When he hasn't they are 0-3.
So, what does it all mean, to be 6-6 this early in the season?
"I didn't have any expectations as far as what our record was going to be,"'
Carter said. "I don't think many people in general thought we would be in
this position. So I think we're doing well."
另一方面，Vince Carter 和 Devin Harris这对後场组合则证明了他们比许多人
预测的还要可怕得多，平均每场得分分别达到 24.3 分和 23.2 分，而 Harris
出场的比赛篮网取得了 6 胜 3 败的战绩，Harris 不在时则是 0 胜 3 败。
所以开季时的六胜六败代表了什麽？
「我对於我们能够达到怎样的战绩并没有任何预期。」Carter说，「我不认为一
般人想过我们会拥有现在的战绩。所以，我觉得我们干得还不赖～」
