Iverson is now heart of ballclub 丹佛之心，Allen Iverson。 http://tinyurl.com/36d3ro By Chris Dempsey Denver Post Staff Writer Article Last Updated: 04/25/2007 01:25:00 AM MDT San Antonio - The movement has been subtle, and that's the way it will remain. But slowly, this Nuggets team has moved away from being Carmelo Anthony's and followed the on-and-off court leadership of Allen Iverson. 这个趋势在不知不觉中启动，未来也会依照这个方式继续存在。慢慢地，金块队从 Carmelo Anthony 的领导中，转向追随 Allen Iverson 的脚步，这位场上场下都 影响着金块的球员。 "He's meant a lot to us," Nuggets reserve guard J.R. Smith said. "Since he's been here he's been the heart of the team. Everybody is looking to see what he's going to do, what he's going to say next. He's pretty much, I wouldn't say the reason why we play basketball, but the reason why we play so hard for this team." 金块替补球员 J.R. Smith 表示：「他对我们来说意义重大，他来到这里之後就成 为丹佛之心。每个人期待他接下来会做什麽、会说什麽。 A.I. 带来巨大的影响力， 我们为什麽打篮球？我不会去想这个问题；但我知道为什麽我们如此努力，为这支 球队奋战。」 That was never more evident than in Game 1 of the Nuggets' first-round playoff series Sunday night against San Antonio. 礼拜天晚上，金块季後赛的第一轮，面对马刺队的第一场比赛，就是最好的证明。 Iverson was the best player on the court in Denver's surprising win, scoring 31 points on 11-of-22 shooting and frustrating the Spurs throughout with his ability to break down their defense. Iverson 是这场意外胜利中场上的最佳球员。他22投11中，拿下31分，并利用他破 坏能力，让马刺倍感挫折。 It is the kind of experience and leadership that the Nuggets' front office, including Mark Warkentien, vice president of basketball operations, envisioned when Denver traded for Iverson in December. 当金块在十二月交易来 Iverson ，球队高层包括副总裁 Mark Warkentien 所展望 的，就是这样的经验与领导气质。 "Playoff time, you need star players," Warkentien said. "Rotations are shortened up, and for some of our guys this is the first time around the block. A.I. has done laps around this block." Warkentien 表示：「在季後赛，你需要明星球员。季後赛可用之兵将会减少，而我 们队上有一些球员是第一次打季後赛，而 A.I. 已经是季後赛常客了。」 Iverson said it was never his intent to take over the team from Anthony, and it still isn't. He did acknowledge, however, that he has assumed more of a vocal leadership role with the Nuggets than he ever did in Philadelphia. Iverson 说过，他绝对不会想要取代 Anthony 在球队的领导位置，事实上也如此。 然而他承认，他认为现在的他比费城时期担任更多精神谈话的领袖角色。 "I wanted to add that as part of the team because I feel like that is something that we would need," Iverson said. "I've never been a verbal leader. I've always tried to lead by example; go out and play hard every night and you know, show my teammates that I will give everything I've got. Iverson 表示：「我想要把这样的角色带进金块队中，我觉得这应该是我们球队需 要的东西。我从来都不是发表精神谈话的球员，一直以来，我都是想要以身作则， 每晚努力上场比赛，向队友展现我的决心，我会把所有我能做的事情贡献给这支球队。」 "Now, I feel like, with the circumstances and team that we have, that I have to be more of a verbal leader. I know we have leaders on this team already; Melo's words mean a lot. Marcus Camby's words mean a lot. But I just try to come and add something that this team has never had." 「在这样的环境以及球队，现在我觉得我必须多多担任精神谈话领袖这样的角色。我 明白球队已经有领导者。 Melo 说的话影响力很大、 Marcus Camby 说的话影响力很 大，所以我试着从中导入一样这支球队没有的元素。」 Warkentien has noticed. Warkentien 已经注意到了。 "You look at him for leadership; he's been providing it," Warkentien said. "There's a media perception of him, but everywhere we turned in talking to people that we trust, they loved the guy. We love guys that hate to lose. As an organization, we really like guys that hate to lose. And he's (a perfect) fit on that one." Warkentien 表示：「你希望他带来领导球队的能力， A.I. 已经证明他有这个能力。 媒体对他的看法存在已久，但无论我们身在何处，我们都告诉人们，我们相信他、金 块球员爱他。我们喜爱憎恨输球的球员；身为球团高层，我们真的喜爱这样的球员， 而他就是这种球员的代言人。」 Said Camby: "You always hear the rumors about him being a selfish player and he's this and he's that. But he's been great, great to everybody. He respects his teammates, one through (15). He gets along with everybody. 坎比说：「你们总是听到传闻，说他是自私的球员，他怎样不好、怎样恶劣。但是对 我们每个人来说，他一直都很棒，他尊敬他的队友。 A.I. 来到这里之後，乐意跟每 位球员相处。」 "He's not standoffish, like he used to be in the past. His game definitely speaks volumes, but he's also a great scorer, great penetrator and a great passer. He's unselfish from that aspect. If you're open, he's going to try to give you the basketball. He's been more than expected in my eyes." 「他并不是以前那位待人冷淡的人。他的比赛说明了一切，他还是一位伟大的得分手、 很厉害的带球突破者、同时也是很棒的分球者。从这观点来看，他一点都不自私，如 果你有空档，他会试着把球传到你手中，他比我眼中看到的 Iverson 还厉害。」 He was exactly what the Spurs expected. Iverson has made a career of shredding the Spurs, averaging 29 points against them. San Antonio, which double-teamed Iverson at times in Game 1, will probably make further adjustments for Game 2, but the Spurs are hoping A.I. stops himself. 他完全如马刺预料中难缠。 Iverson 生涯一直专门撕裂马刺，对战平均得29分。马刺 队在第一战几次包夹 Iverson 。第二战可能会做一些调整，但是马刺队希望 A.I. 自 己熄火。 Asked what they could do to keep the ball from Iverson, Spurs guard Michael Finley said: "That would be hard to do with him being the point guard and handling the ball so much. Besides, Allen has been scoring so many points for so many years now that there's no defense that we could throw at him that he hasn't seen. All we can do is keep making him take tough shots and hope that he's not making them like he did in the last game." 被问到马刺队可以做什麽防守布阵，尽量不要让 Iverson 拿到球？马刺後卫 Michael Finley说：「当他担任控球後卫，掌握控球时间时，这是一项困难的任务。多年以来， 他总是可以拿下这麽多分数，我们对他的防守也招数用尽，我们只希望让他出手难度提 高，并祈祷他不要像第一场比赛一样投进这麽多球。」 TIME FOR TWEAKING Game 1 is in the books. Now, it's time for adjustments. San Antonio's first salvo two years ago was to bring Manu Ginobili, who had started the first game, off the bench. What's in store this time around? The Post's Chris Dempsey takes a look: 苦恼时刻。 第一战结果已成定局，现在是做出调整的时刻。马刺队二年前出的第一张牌，就是把 第一战先发的 Manu Ginobili 放到板凳上。这次双方还有什麽法宝？丹佛邮报 Chris Dempsey 列出下列几点。 NUGGETS 1. Get the bench going: The Nuggets must get more from Linas Kleiza and J.R. Smith as the series moves forward. 2. Run, run, run: Three fast breaks in Game 1 aren't enough for coach George Karl. 3. Shore up on defense: The Nuggets can't count on Tony Parker and Ginobili to miss so many layups again. 金块队 一、起动板凳暴徒模式：随着系列赛拉长，金块队必须从 Linas Kleiza 与 J.R.smith 身上获得一些贡献 二、向前冲吧：教练认为，第一战三分的快攻分数是不够的。 三、撑住防守阵线：金块队不能指望 Tony Parker 与 Ginobili 会再次错失这麽多上篮 机会了。 SPURS 1. Get Tim Duncan involved early: The Spurs' big man started 0-for-8 on his way to an un-Duncan like performance. 2. Use more zone: The Spurs don't use much zone but might need to change to contain A.I. and Melo. 3. Get aggressive: The Spurs shot 10 free throws to the Nuggets' 25. They'll want to reverse that stat. 马刺队 一、让 Tim Duncan 早点进入状况： 好似没有 Duncan 在场上的马刺队，三主将比赛一 开始八投皆墨。 二、摆出更多区域防守：马刺一向不使用很多区防，但是为了牵制住 A.I. 和 Melo ， 这也许是他们需要改变的方式。 三、更加积极：相较於金块队25次的罚球机会，马刺只有10次。他们会希望扭转这项 数据。 --
