http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?page=dailydime-070501 By John Hollinger ESPN Insider "Share the ball," was George Karl's mantra heading into Game 4 against San Antonio. "多让球流动"是George Karl在第四战前替这场比赛下的标题. And for the most part, his team did it, tallying a series-high 23 assists on the evening. But for long stretches in the second half of Denver's 96-89 Game 4 defeat, one player in particular didn't seem to get the memo. Repeatedly, Allen Iverson took San Antonio's bait by going one-on-one with Bruce Bowen and trying to force up contested midrange jumpers. He ended up shooting 9-for-25 on the night, and it was an ugly 9-for-25-- he only had four free-throw attempts. 而在大多数的时间, 他的球队做到了, 金块队在今晚传出了本次系列赛最多的23次助攻. 不 过当下半场的很长一段时间, 有一个球员似乎忘了这件事. Allen Iverson 中了马刺队的圈 套, 他一再的与Bruce Bowen进行一打一并且投出了许多受到压迫的中距离跳投. 他在这场 比赛是以9-25结束, 而且是个糟糕的9-25--他整场比赛只罚了四次球. What made it so frustrating was that he once again took shots off Carmelo Anthony's plate on a night when the Spurs couldn't guard 'Melo. Anthony was superb, scoring 29 points on 11-of-18 shooting, with a flurry of offensive foul calls standing as his only negative. 让人更沮丧的是他一次又一次的夺走了Carmelo Anthony的出手机会, 而马刺队今天根本守 不住Melo. Anthony打了一场杰出的比赛, 以18投11中拿下了29分, 他在本场比赛的唯一缺 点就是几次的进攻犯规. But in the second half, while Iverson was shooting 4-for-15, Anthony hardly got the rock. In a related story, Denver shot 39.5 percent in the second half and scored 39 points, undoing a nearly flawless first-half effort to put the Nuggets on the brink of elimination. 在下半场时, 当Iverson仅仅是15投4中, Anthony却很难获得出手机会. 和上半场比较, 丹 佛在下半场的命中率仅仅只有39.5%, 仅仅拿下39分, 压过了上半场几乎完美的表现, 并且 让金块队面临放暑假的边缘. I don't mean to put it all on Iverson. Certainly he plays with incredible spirit, and the Nuggets will swear to you that he's been nothing but exemplary since coming here -- that he's been at every practice, that he's been a great mentor for the young guys, and that nobody is more devoted to winning. 我并不是要把所有的责任都丢给Iverson. 他确实展现了令人赞叹的精神, 而所有的金块队 球员也会向你保证自从AI来到金块队後, 他的表现一直是球队的模范--他参与了所有球队的 练习, 他也适时的对年轻球员进行督导, 还有他比任何人都渴望胜利. I don't doubt any of that. In fact, I'm not saying Iverson was playing selfishly; I just think he still has "Philadelphia syndrome." He's so used to having to create every shot he possibly can -- even if it's a low-percentage one -- that he occasionally gets into shot-happy ruts like he did tonight. 事实上, 我并不是要说Iverson打的很自私; 我只是认为他仍然有"费城症候群". 他过去在 费城七六人队的时期一直习惯於靠自己去创造所有的投篮机会--即使是命中率很低的机会-- 所以他时常会有出手过多的情形, 就像今晚一样. That's backed up by his contention after the game that he was taking quality shots. "I had so many good looks, so many easy baskets that I missed," said Iverson. Maybe on the Sixers they were good looks, but not here. Tonight, he was the best defense on 'Melo that San Antonio could muster. 而他在赛後谈到"quality shots"的一番话更是印证了这个论点."我浪费了太多很好的机会, 太多简单的投篮."Iverson说.也许在七六人时这是很好的机会, 但在这里显然不是. 今晚, 他是马刺队找来对付Melo最棒的防守者. To be fair, fatigue may also have been a factor. Iverson played the entire second half, and George Karl intimated afterward this his short bench rotation may have resulted in the Nuggets' running out of gas down the stretch -- especially given the physicality of tonight's game, and the relatively rare whistles that limited players' on-court rest time. 公正的说, 疲劳也是一个因素. Iverson在整个下半场都没有休息, 而George Karl在整个季 後赛都采用的少人轮替阵容也让金块队在比赛的最後体力消失殆尽--特别是这场对抗张力极 强的比赛, 而相对较少的哨音也压缩了球员在球场上喘口气的时间. And of course, the opponent had something to do with it too. Going up against a defender like Bowen, with Tim Duncan as the backstop behind him, can make life miserable for any scorer. 当然的, 马刺队也做了相对的因应. 由Bruce Bpowen主防, Tim Duncan在後面伺机补防, 这 对任何得分好手都是一场灾难. "The scheme they are running on me has been effective," said Iverson. "They are making me take tough shots. I drive to the basket, they are shadowing me and making sure I see more than one defender. It's just something I've got to get through." "他们针对我的防守计画相当有效," Iverson说"他们设法让我投出很困难的球. 当我切入时 , 他们就把我封住并且确认我遭受到至少两个人的防守. 这是我必需要去克服的." "We are not going to stop people like Allen Iverson, he's a great player," said Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. "But we hope at the end of a game that he's worked hard to end up with what he ends up with." "我们并不打算完全封锁像Allen Iverson一样的球员, 他是一个很棒的球员."马刺队教头 Popovich说."不过我们希望在整场比赛里, 他所得的分数都是他辛苦挣来的." Certainly they succeeded on that front -- aside from one fast-break layup, none of Iverson's points came easily. Still, there were sequences that had to gnaw at a Nuggets fan -- like watching Anthony picked up by Tony Parker on a switch, and then seeing Iverson keep the ball and go one-on-one against Bowen, ultimately drawing an offensive foul. 这次策略相当的成功--除了一个快攻的上篮, 其他Iverson所拿到的分数都不轻松. 然而, 还有一些其他的事更让金块迷苦恼--就像是看到Anthony经由switch被Parker对到, 而 Iverson仍然持球和Bowen进行一打一, 最後是以进攻犯规收场. Perhaps in the bigger picture, this is just a sign of how new the Nuggets are to each other. Karl pointed out after the game that the Spurs have been together for eights years and his guys have been together for eight weeks. Anthony and Iverson clearly need to develop a greater familiarity with each other, which is one of many reasons I think Denver will be a much more potent contender a year from now than it is at the moment. 也许把眼光放大来看, 这只是这支新的金块队尚未完全融合的徵兆. Karl在赛後指出, 马刺 队已经在一起打了8年的球, 而金块队仅仅在一起打了8个礼拜. Anthony 和 Iverson必须对 彼此的打法更加熟悉, 而这也是为什麽我认为一年後的金块队会比现在更强大的原因之一. Yet if the Nuggets are going to get back into this series, they're going to need that chemistry to come around real fast. Because sharing the ball as a strategy only works if all five players are in on the plan. 如果金块队还想拿下这个系列赛, 他们必须要让化学效应很快的发生. 因为分享球这个战略 只有在场上的五个人都这麽打算时才会成功. --
