Will this year be different? NBA writer Marc J. Spears breaks down the key questions the Nuggets need to answer to surprise the heavily favored San Antonio Spurs starting in Game 1 on Sunday in San Antonio. 过去三年，金块队已经连续在季後赛第一轮以四比一遭到淘汰。今年会有不一样的 结果吗？NBA观察作家Marc J.Spears列出金块队必须解决的关键问题，以便在礼拜 天圣安东尼举行的季後赛第一轮，可以令马刺感受到耳目一新的金块。 KEY QUESTIONS Iverson, Anthony await answers Denver Post staff writer Marc J. Spears breaks down the big questions surrounding the Nuggets heading into their playoff series against San Antonio. 1. Can Nuggets guard Allen Iverson take his game to another level in the postseason? When the Nuggets acquired Iverson on Dec. 19, it gave the franchise hope it could become a championship-caliber team. Coming down the stretch, "The Answer" delivered, helping Denver gain a playoff berth. Iverson has been money in the postseason, averaging 30.6 points, 6.1 assists and 2.1 steals in 62 games for Philadelphia. He led the 76ers to the 2001 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers. Iverson also is rested going into this series. 关键重点。 这些问题，等待Iverson和Anthony联手找出来解答。 一: Allen Iverson能够再次扮演季後赛杀手吗？ Iverson在12月19日来到金块队之後，球团希望藉这次的交易，使球队将来能够成为 夺冠热门。球季後段开始，答案慢慢浮现，帮助金块取得季後赛资格。Iverson一直 都是季後赛杀手，他在费城时期季後赛表现平均30.6分、6.1助攻、2.1抄截；2001 年Iverson带领七六人一路杀到总冠军战，挑战洛杉矶湖人。现在Iverson也蓄势待发。 2. Will the Nuggets' Carmelo Anthony fare better this time around against the Spurs' Bruce Bowen? Bowen hassled Anthony two years ago in the playoffs, holding him to 42.2 percent shooting from the field. Anthony is more confident and more polished this time. He averaged 28.9 points during the regular season, the third-highest average by a Nuggets player since Denver entered the NBA in 1976. However, in his lone appearance against the Spurs, on Jan. 10, he was held to 15 points. Bowen is a three-time all-NBA defensive first-team selection, who again will get strong consideration for the league's defensive player of the year award. 二: Carmelo Anthony这次能更稳健地面对马刺Bruce Bowen吗？ Bowen在二年前的季後赛带给Anthony很大的麻烦，他让Anthony的命中率只有42.2%。 如今Anthony对自己更有信心，球技也更精进。本季平均28.9分，是丹佛在1976年 加入NBA以来第三高。然而一月十日单独面对马刺的他，得分只有15分。Bowen拥有 三次入选NBA防守第一队的身手，今年再次成为年度最佳防守球员的热门人选。 3. Can Nuggets forward-center Nene slow down Spurs star Tim Duncan? Can anyone except referee Joey Crawford? Duncan again is a strong MVP candidate, having averaged 20 points and 10.6 rebounds. He's even better in the postseason, in which he has averaged 25.8 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 118 games. The 6-foot-11, 260-pound Nene has played well in the second half of the season, but dealing with Duncan is another matter altogether. Why Nene over NBA defensive player of the year candidate Marcus Camby? Because he has the bulk to help him better deal with Duncan and has at times showed he can hold his own against the league's best, including the likes of MVP candidate Dirk Nowitzki of Dallas. Camby also can roam a little more when not guarding Duncan. 三: 中前锋Nene可以挡下马刺明星叮当肯吗？ 除了裁判Joey Crawford，还有谁能够阻挡他？Duncan今年再次角逐MVP，平均20分、 10.6篮板。过去他在季後赛的表现更为突出，118场季後赛平均25.8分、10.5篮板、 3.3助攻。6尺11寸，260磅的Nene在下半季表现出色，但能不能在与Duncan对碰的 情况下还能有所作为，是另外一回事。为何Nene比年度最佳防守球员候选人 Marcus Camby更适合担任这样的角色？因为巨大的身躯更可以帮助他顶住Duncan， 另外，球季间几次碰上联盟优秀前锋，例如MVP候选人Dirk Nowitzki的时候，也展现 了不错的效果；这样的安排，就可以让Camby有更多机会埋伏篮下，展现防守能力。 4. Will the fast-breaking Nuggets be able to run against the stingy Spurs? Probably not, based on regular-season statistics. Going into the teams' season finale, San Antonio led the league in allowing just 90 points per game, and 44.2 percent field-goal shooting. The Spurs were 24-3 this season when holding teams between 80 and 89 points, which figures to be where they'll try to keep the Nuggets. San Antonio knows how much the Nuggets struggle when they don't score 100 or more points. Discounting Wednesday's meaningless finale, San Antonio clamped down in two regular-season wins over Denver, holding the Nuggets to an average of 81.5 points. 四: 面对擅於掌控节奏的马刺队，金块可以打出会擅长的快攻攻势吗？ 根据季赛的数据来看，或许金块会受制於马刺。双方最後一场比赛之前，马刺队以 平均失分90分领先全联盟，并可以对手命中率只有44.2%。本季马刺队让对手得分在 八十到八十九分之间的时候，他们战绩是二十四胜三败；让金块队得分降低在八十 几分是他们的目标，因为马刺队知道，金块队得分不到一百分的时候，成绩是什麽 惨状。双方礼拜三数据无参考意义，对战之前前二次交手马刺皆获胜，并让金块 平均得分只有81.5分。 5. Can the Nuggets keep Spurs guards Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili from driving to the lane? The Spurs have manhandled the Nuggets in part because Parker and Ginobili seem to be able to get into the lane any time they want. Doing so allows them to get easy shots or set up their teammates. Denver's best bet to stop the drives could be using more zone sets to help out Nuggets guards Allen Iverson and Steve Blake with difficult matchups. If the Nuggets stay in a man defense, will seldom-used defensive specialist guard Yakhouba Diawara get more playing time? 五: 金块队能尽量防止让马刺Tony Parker与Manu Ginobili杀入中心地带吗？ 本季马刺可以大肆破坏金块队的防守阵线，有一部分的原因是，不管在什麽时候， Tony Parker与Manu Ginobili总是可以随心所欲地杀到禁区。如此一来，轻松上篮 或是找寻队友空档的机会就增多。要阻挡上篮突破，金块最好的方法就是多多利用 区域防守、轮转防守，以便帮忙Allen Iverson与Steve Blake防守上的劣势，如果 金块摆出人盯人阵势，鲜少机会上场的後卫Yakhouba Diawara就可以获得较多的上 场时间，发挥他的专长？ --
