※ [本文转录自 Lakers 看板] 作者: Solid4 (豆腐) 看板: Lakers 标题: [外电] 金块摩拳擦掌准备与湖人对轰 时间: Sun Apr 20 00:11:51 2008 Denver will use a one-sided philosophy of offense in an attempt to upset the Lakers. By Jonathan Abrams, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer April 19, 2008 丹佛希望只用进攻打垮湖人，缔造老八传奇 They embody the NBA's fusion of hip-hop and pick and roll, oozing of swagger, boasting of athleticism and as the unofficial titleholders of the team with the most body art. 他们融合了 Hip -Hop跟 Pick and Roll，体能超强，更可以说是NBA 最多刺青的一队。 These Denver Nuggets are star-studded and expensive, carrying one of the league's highest payrolls. 金块真的是用金打造的，联盟薪水总合最高的一队，一颗一颗用钻石做的星星镶在 上面真是金光闪闪啊。 They scratched and clawed their way to the playoffs, finally curling their fingers around the Western Conference's eighth spot and earning a first-round matchup against the Lakers. 他们用尽各种方法终於攀上了季後赛这个悬堐，却发现站在他们面前的是西区第一种子 洛杉矶湖人。 And for Denver, as with most playoff teams, there is praise and promise, scattered somewhere along with concern and compatibility. 就跟今年很多球队一样，是晋级有希望，但没人敢担保真的会晋级。 TNT's Charles Barkley recently labeled Denver talented but also as "the most disappointing team in the league." 名嘴以及前球员，Charles Barkley先生最近发表了他的意见，认为金块球员很有天份， 却也是最让人失望的一支球队。(不是热火喔？) And the fallout from Carmelo Anthony's arrest this week on suspicion of drunk driving is yet to be ascertained. 而，本周 Carmelo Anthony因酒驾被逮捕的後续影像，也还需要观察。 "I think our team has to worry a little bit more about ourselves than most playoff teams," Nuggets Coach George Karl told reporters in Denver on Friday. "If we turn the light switch on and [keep] it on, we'll be fine. Sometimes it's a dimmer. I'm sure there's some sports psychologist out there who can figure it out." 「我想我的球队比其他季後赛球队还担心自己一点，」金块教练George Karl星期五 对记者这麽说的。「如果我们找到开关，又可以一直让火不要熄灭的话，我们应该是没 问题啦。只可惜这火有的时候小了一点...，你们自己找运动心理分析专家解释吧。」 It doesn't take one to figure out that something went right. It went right to the tune of 50 wins in Denver, the first time the Nuggets reached that mark since the 1987-88 season. 还好我们不需要专家来知道，本季金块大部分时间是在正确的轨道上。本季金块在87-88 球季之後，第一次拿下50胜。 Largely because they can score. 当然这很大的原因是因为他们攻击火力猛烈。 The names alone of Anthony (25.7 points a game) and guard Allen Iverson (26.4 points) are enough to give an opposing coach insomnia. 呵呵，光是Carlmeo Anthony (平均25.7分) 跟 Allen Iverson (平均26.4分)就足够让 对手的教练睡不着了。 They are major factors why the Nuggets won 10 regular-season games by 20 points or more. 他们俩可是为什麽今年金块在季赛有十场赢了20分或更多。 The play of Denver's reserves -- outside threats J.R. Smith, who averaged 15.5 points in March and April, and Linas Kleiza -- will also be critical if the Nuggets are to win the series. 金块的替补，丁尺 Smith跟 Linas Kleiza，两个得分能力都很强的球员，在本系列 赛中也会很重要。 The Nuggets' problem is they like scoring so much, they let other teams do it at will too. Denver lost seven games by 20 points or more. 其实，金块的问题是，他们超爱得分的，所以也很开心的让对方疯狂得分...，相对 於10场赢了20分以上，他们也输了7场输20分以上的球赛。 Their defense is largely centered on Marcus Camby, the league's reigning defensive player of the year, who patrols the paint and is assisted every once in a while by forward Kenyon Martin. 金块的防守全被塞在联盟蝉连数年的最佳防守球员，勉族 Marcus Camby身上， 偶而K. Martin会想起来帮忙一下而已。 The team is rounded out by others who went through the regular season feigning as much interest in defense as a weekend hoopster playing at a local gym. 而他们剩下的球员对防守的兴致则是跟一个在体育馆打球的小孩一样。 The Nuggets rise and fall with a risk-and-reward defense. Often Denver goes for steals and the chance at a fastbreak if it is there and often if it is not. "They probably have more talent than anyone in the NBA," Barkley said. "If they just tried to play defense, they could be scary." 金块球员们防守都是赌博式防守，一抄到球後不管可不可行都是强硬快攻。「他们大概 比NBA任何一队有天份，」巴克利说，「如果他们只是嚐试着去拼防守的话都会很可怕。 」 Former Laker Michael Cooper, who coached the Nuggets for 14 games before Karl took over, said the Nuggets have an added dimension. 前湖人球员，Karl拿回兵符前的教头 Michael Cooper说金块还有一个优势。 Playing in a high-altitude city, the Nuggets look to run their opponents until the other team's knees wobble. "And when they come to sea level, they try to turn it up even more," Cooper said. 在这个高海拔的球场，金块会不断的跑，跑到对手膝盖发抖。「当他们来到海平面 的时候，他们会跑的更卖力。」Cooper说。 But they also have the added baggage of Anthony's situation. 不过，他们现在要担心Carmel的状况。 Compared to other stars in his draft class, including LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, Anthony seems to have had the hardest time assimilating into the corporate components of the game. 跟同梯的好友，如闪电侠跟皇帝不同，他似乎很难抓到成为Super Star的诀窍。 Anthony apologized for his latest arrest, but he has been in several high-profile incidents since entering the NBA in 2003. He consented to a blood test in the DUI case, but the results won't be available for several days. His first court appearance is scheduled for May 14. Anthony为他被逮捕的事件公开道歉，但是他自从03年加入NBA之後就一直很不低调。 这次酒驾血液测验数天後结果会出来，他将在五月14上法庭。 "Carmelo has had his off-the-court clashes in the past, but once you walk into that gym you leave everything behind you," Cooper said, before adding a small jab. "They take a bus to the gym, so it shouldn't affect him." 「Carmelo在场外或许有些问题，但是站到球场上你什麽都不需要管了。」Cooper 说，还不外补上一刀；「他们都是坐巴士到球场的，喝酒对他没影响啦。」 Instead, Cooper said, Anthony probably will be more affected by sharing the court with Iverson. Cooper说，其实最麻烦的还是场上没有两颗球。 Both are scorers who thrive on one-on-one play. But because Iverson has the ball in his hands as a guard, he is able to more often create shots for himself. AI 跟 Melo都是单打得分的球员，但是因为AI 是後卫，他拿到球、自己出手的机会比较 多。 "When I coached [Anthony], he was the go-to guy," Cooper said. "He's not that now. He's a second option. . . . If he's not the first option, he's a little more selfish and he's going to look to his shot and look to score. [Iverson] can come and take three or four shots and then [Anthony] is going to be looking for the next one even if it could be a bad shot." 「当我还是教练的时候，Melo是第一选择，但现在他是第二选择了。当他不是第一进攻手 的时候，他会开始脑充血自干。如果AI 连投了两三球的话，Melo会不计一切的投出 下一球，就算那一球是滥投。」 Anthony was remorseful when he issued his apology, and at Friday's practice he appeared relaxed and focused in front of Denver reporters. Anthony在道歉的时候表现的很自责，到了星期五练习的时候，他看起来是很放松、 精神很集中的。 He is unflinching in his belief that the Nuggets can pull off an upset in his bid to get past the first round of the playoffs for the first time in his career. 他依然相信今年他跟金块可以闯过第一轮。 "We're confident," he said. "We're the underdog right now. I love being in this situation." 「我们很有自信的，」他说，「我们现在是不被看好的，我正好也喜欢这样。」 知己知彼百战百胜，明天就知道Melo到底有没有被影响到... 祝湖人马到成功，第一战开胡！ --
