A deep bench. A coach who won at least 50 games in each of his first three NBA seasons and led a team that dealt with injuries and suspensions to 44 victories last season. 密西根州奥本山--一组有天份的先发五人。一群深厚的板凳。一位 在他头三个执教 NBA球季中，每一季都至少拿下50胜，并且上季率领 一支伤兵不断和禁赛缠身的球队得到44胜。 Back when the season began in November, the Indiana Pacers seemed to have all the pieces to compete with Detroit and San Antonio for the NBA title. 回顾在11月本季开始之时，印第安那溜马队似乎拥有能和底特律以 及圣安东尼奥竞逐NBA冠军的所有要件。 The Pacers have gone from a possible elite team to one that is three games below .500 and in danger of missing the playoffs. 溜马队已经从一支可能挤身强队之林的球队成为一支差三胜才有五 成胜率的球队，而且有被踢出季後赛的危险。 Pacers coach Rick Carlisle talked about the season Saturday: 溜马队教练Rick Carlisle星期六谈到有关本季： Question: As the coach of what many thought was a title contending team this season, how tough has this been on you? 问题：身为一支本季被许多人看好夺冠热门球队的教练，对你来说是 否是个重担？ Answer: Every season has its challenges and every team has different kinds of pressure and expectations. This (season) has had some unusual challenges based on the fact that we went through something similar last year. All things considered, I'm really happy with the way our guys have continued to compete through some tough circumstances. Over a two-year period we've asked guys that were supposed to be bench players to be starters. Guys that were supposed to be depth players to be rotation players. That's been a challenge for the players. We had over 300 man games missed last year and 31 different starting lineups. This year we've got 220 man games missed and 31 different starting lineups. It's difficult, but the reality is you accept it and deal with it. 回答：每个球季都有它的挑战，而每支球队都有不一样的压力和期望 。事实上这个(球季)有些不寻常的挑战，我们遭遇到类似去年 所经历的状况。在考量一切下，我对於我们的球员们能在这麽 艰困的环境里持续奋战真的感到高兴。在两年期间，我们要求 那些原先被认定为板凳球员的成为先发球员。那些原先被认定 坐在板凳末端的成为轮替阵容中的一员。那对球员们来说是项 挑战。去年我们共有超过300人场缺席，还有 31套先发阵容。 今年我们已经有220人场缺席，也有 31套先发阵容。那真难熬 ，但现实是你得接受并应付它。 Q: Were expectations set too high at the start of the season? 问题：季初的期望是否设定得过高？ A: That's a hard question for me to answer, because winning a championship is everybody's goal in this league. I don't think high expectations should ever be a bad thing because every team should have a goal to win a championship. Do I think it was unrealistic? I'm not going to say that's true because that would be a copout. I don't think it would be right, because our franchise worked very hard to get to a point where we have a deep roster and a lot of talented players. 回答：那对我来说是个难以回答的问题，因为赢得一座冠军是联盟中 每个人的目标。我认为高的期望从来不应该是件坏事，因为每 支球队应该都有目标要夺冠。我认为那会不切实际吗？我不会 说那是实话，因为那是藉口。我不认为那是正确的，因为我们 的球队努力地想达到拥有深厚的阵容和一群有天份的球员们该 有的位置。 Q: How frustrating has it been knowing the talent you have on this team, but you haven't been able to get them to compete hard every game? 问题：明知道你在这个队上所拥有的天份，但是你却无法让他们每场 比赛努力奋战时有多失望？ A: There have been stretches where we could have played harder, but I'm not disappointed with our overall effort this year, considering the circumstances. We certainly could have done better to this point. We've had struggles to win games and we've had a hard time finishing off teams (when) we've had the opportunity. That has been difficult. 回答：这段时间里我们可能可以打得更努力，但是在考量一切下，我 对於我们今年整体努力的成果并不感到失望。我们确实能在这 个时间点上做得更好。我们要赢得比赛有困难，而(当)我们有 机会拿下对手时打得不好。那是困难的。 Q: How much responsibility do you take for what has happened this year? 问题：关於本季所发生的事，你该负起多大的责任？ A: As a coach you are always responsible. That's just the way it is. I don't think anybody here is looking for a free pass. I'm certainly not. We could have done better to this point. We haven't. A lot of that is going to fall on the coach and I understand that. I have to keep approaching this team the same way: with a positive tact and belief we can get it together. Not to do that would be unfair to the players. It would be unfair to the fans and it wouldn't be right for the franchise. 回答：身为一个教练你总是得负责。那本该如此。我不认为这里的任 何人能袖手旁观。我当然也不行。我们可以做得更好。我们没 有。很多都会归咎於教练，而我也明白。我保持对球队一贯的 态度：有着适当的机智并且相信我们能团结一致。不那麽做的 话，对球员们不公平。对球迷们不公平，对球队而言也不适合 。 Q: Has this season been more difficult than last year when you dealt with the injuries and suspensions? 问题：本季比起上季你应付伤兵和禁赛时更困难吗？ A: It's been more difficult because we've struggled to win as many games as we did last year. Both seasons have been a great test of fortitude and a lot of things. 回答：困难得多，因为我们要达到上季的胜场数有难度。这两个球季 对不屈不挠的精神和许多事情来说是个大考验。 Q: This team has been labeled "underachievers." Is that a fair assessment? 问题：这支球队已经被贴上「不如预期」的标签。那是个公正的评价 吗？ A: If you want to evaluate it to this point, we could have done better for sure. We're going forward, and we have to stay positive and believe and keep working to get better and find a way to win games. It's as simple as that. I hope people would hold off judgment on this team until the season is over. Right now our focus is to get some more wins to make sure we get in the playoffs. 回答：如果你想在这个时间点上做评估，确实我们可能可以做得更好 。我们要向前看，而我们必须保持确信且相信并保持努力去变 得更好，找出赢球的方法。就这麽简单。我希望人们能直到这 个球季结束後再对这支球队下评价。现在我们的焦点是多赢几 场球以确定我们能进入季後赛。 Q: How confident are you this team can maintain its spot in the playoffs? 问题：你对这支球队能维持在季後赛名单内有多少信心？ A: I still have a strong belief in this group. I know they care. These last stretches of games will not be easy, even though it looks like a very favorable schedule. We're going to find out what we're made up of as a team. 回答：我仍对这支球队深具信心。我知道他们在意。最近这些比赛并 不容易，即使看来像是有利的赛程。我们要去找出凝聚球队的 精神。 Q: Do you feel like the window will close on this team if you don't win a championship? 问题：要是你没有赢得冠军，你是否感觉到这支球队将有大动作降临 ？ A: I'm not sure if there will be any changes. In this league, there's always a possibility of change. That's just the facts of life. I hope the window has not closed. I would like to see this group get a chance to get through a season completely healthy and see what they can do. Time will tell. That's a question that should be directed more at management than the coach. 回答：我不确定是否将会有变动。在联盟中，总是存在变动的可能性 。这就是现实。我希望不要有动作。我想看看这支球队有机会 健康地完整度过一季，并看看他们能做什麽。时间将会有答案 。这个问题应该是管理阶层所主导的，而非一位教练能决定。 Call Star reporter Mike Wells at (317) 444-6053.
