Why Are Pacers Prone To Letdowns? Monday, Nov. 28, 2005 Conrad Brunner Ｑ： After watching the Pacers this season, I have noticed a trend that is alarming. It seems as if the Pacers are winning big games and losing games that they should definitely win. I realize that the parity in the NBA is relative, but is there a better, deeper team in the NBA than the Pacers? And why do you think there is such a letdown in the games they should be winning? (From Kyle in Marion, Ind.) Ｋｙｌｅ问到：看球到今天，我注意到一个值得警惕的趋势。溜马似乎赢 　　　　　　　大赛输小球。我知道ＮＢＡ球队只有相对强弱，没有谁绝对 　　　　　　　会赢，但是有比溜马更有深度、更棒的球队吗？您对当赢 　　　　　　　未赢的球赛有什麽看法？ Before I move on to the answer, allow me to digress for a moment. The QOD feature has been missing in action for a few days because I've been dealing with a family matter of the highest priority. I appreciate your patience and, trust me, am very pleased to get back to this particular piece of daily by-play. Ａ：在回覆问题之前，请各位容许我发表一个小声明。因为我个人必须处理 　　相当重要的私事，导致ＱＯＤ这几天消失不见。对於各位的耐心等待我 　　相当感激，而且，请相信我非常开心能够回到这里。 You're absolutely right. This is an alarming trend that really makes it hard to get a grip on just what this team is going to become. Against teams at .500 or better, the Pacers are 6-1. Against losing teams, they're 2-3. That's both mystifying and maddening. Legitimate contenders take care of business on a routine basis. They don't allow struggling young teams like Charlotte and Atlanta to steal victories. They don't blow 14-point leads in the fourth quarter, as the Pacers did in Milwaukee. 你说的完全没错。这是个令人警惕的趋势，而且让人很难算得准这支球队未来 的走向。在对上胜率高／等於五成的队伍时，溜马战绩６胜１负，面对正在连 败的球队时，战绩是２胜３败。这令人相当困惑，也让人抓狂。要想夺冠称王 ，球队必须拿出稳定的表现。想称王，就不能让重整中的年轻球队，像是老鹰、 山猫偷偷赢球。想称王，就不能在第四节把１４分领先给花光光，而溜马对上 公鹿时就是这样打。 While their ability to deal with teams like Miami (twice), New Jersey, Cleveland and the Clippers is impressive, the luster of those victories has been tarnished by the repeated bad losses. What the Pacers seem to be missing is right in the mirror. The same extra motivation that fuels them against a premier opponent works against them in games with lesser teams. In those games, the opponent has every motivational advantage, knowing the value of a victory over the talented Pacers. And every time the Pacers lose one of those games, they give every other struggling foe one more reason to believe they can win when their turn arrives. 溜马胜过强队（热火２胜、篮网、骑士、快艇各１胜）的光环被很糟糕的败绩 给玷污．．而溜马不用到别处找解答，只需看看镜子。那种「遇强斗志强」的 特质在对上战绩不理想的球队时反而成为绊脚石。反倒是不如溜马的球队们了 解「胜过溜马」的价值，因此这些球队士气高、打球拼。每次溜马输给战绩 不如自己的球队，他们就让这些球队多一分信心，让他们更相信自己跟溜马 下次交手不会有一面倒的情况，总有赢球的机会 Until they learn to take every opponent seriously, regardless of record, they will continue to frustrate themselves and their fans. A victory over the Bobcats, after all, counts just as much as a victory over the Heat. A loss, on the other hand, is doubly damaging. 不管对手的战绩为何，除非溜马学会认真看待每个对手，他们会继续找罪受， 也让球迷失望。毕竟，对上山猫队的一胜，跟对上热火队的一胜一样算数， 而输给山猫队，却是加倍的打击。 --
