http://0rz.tw/a52vW Questions, doubts hit Suns - that's good Dan Bickley The Arizona Republic Mar. 19, 2007 12:00 AM After a week in the frying pan, the Suns look cooked. Once again, they have given new life to the complainers and critics. 在煎锅中挣扎了一个礼拜后,太阳看起来已经被烤熟了.(是在说赛程辛苦？) 不过,他们又一次给了发牢骚的人和批评者发挥的空间. Their two victories against Texas teams (Houston, Dallas) were shining examples of their relentlessness and resiliency. But subsequent losses to Detroit and Denver were humiliating affairs that illustrated their recurring issues with rebounding, defense and general apathy. 对德州双雄火箭和小牛的胜利是太阳队韧性和张力的光辉表现,不过随后接连输给 活塞和金块让太阳脸上无光.同时关于篮板、防守和整个球队淡漠态度的话题又被谈起. You might be puzzled by what all this means - and if you are, the line forms around the building. 你可能会对这一切感到困惑.如果你是这样的话,请排队,你不是第一个--- Now the Suns have plenty of excuses in hand. After that exhausting thriller in Dallas they were highly vulnerable against the Pistons two nights later. And then, after three big games earlier in the week, they simply were too weary to hang with the Nuggets on the road in the second of back-to-back games . Amare Stoudemire even blamed the last one on altitude. 太阳有很多理由.在经历与小牛的激战之后再与活塞搏杀就显得力不从心.同时, 在与三个强队交手后再来背靠背迎战金块,谁都会觉得累,太阳也不例外.Amare甚至把对 金块的失利归结为丹佛的高海拔? Take the "L" out of that word, and you'll get closer to the truth. 把L从"ALTITUDE"这个词中拿走,"态度"这个词才接近于事实. I'll give the Suns the stink bomb they dropped against the Pistons. From ground level, I can tell you that game in Dallas was physically and mentally draining. Four starters played more than 45 minutes, and the emotional weight of the entire evening - with all the blown leads and big comebacks - was almost crushing. 从基本层面上来说,与小牛的比赛对太阳队员来说绝对是身心俱疲的.有四位先发 在场上打 了超过45分钟,而整个晚上都让人感觉喘不过气来-比赛是在不停的领先和交换 领先中度过的. Dirk Nowitzki told one reporter that he couldn't sleep the next night and th at it was the worst regular-season loss of his career. 司机告诉一位记者,比赛后的第二晚他都没有睡好.与太阳的比赛是他例行赛中 输的最烂的一场比赛. But the Suns' next performance, against the Nuggets, simply was brutal. Altitude is a poor excuse for getting blown out of the gym, especially when head coach Mike D'Antoni pulled his starters with more than four minutes left against the Pistons. Even more telling is the meeting D'Antoni called before the Nuggets game. 但对小牛之后的下一场-对金块-结果实在是很残酷.拿海拔当作在球场里被痛宰的 藉口很烂，特别是对活塞的时候，D'Antoni在比赛还剩四分钟时就把先发都拉下来了. 不过D'Antoni的说法是球队在心理上确实出了些问题. Truth is, the Suns are bored. Aside from a few players whose focus and self- discipline are beyond reproach, I believe the Suns think they can turn on the switch whenever necessary. And in the light, you can see how that game against the Mavericks actually worked against the Suns. 事实是，太阳对比赛似乎有些厌倦了.除了有些队员的注意力和自律精神让人无法 指责外,我觉得太阳队员觉得他们可以随时调整自己的状态，就像开关灯那样简单.但实际 上,你可以看到对小牛的比赛中太阳队员并非如此. Funny how D'Antoni insisted that a loss to the Mavericks wouldn't leave a mark , only to find an enormous victory robbing the team of motivation. 有趣的是D'Antoni坚持说即使输给小牛也没什么,但这场胜利反而把太阳队的进取心 夺走了. Alas, some of this is normal. For nearly three years the Suns have heard how their nontraditional style of play would not translate into an NBA title. In the past two playoffs they have made valiant arguments to the contrary, only to be sabotaged by injuries to key players. 唉,这些也算正常.三年来大家一直说太阳的跑轰打法不会给他们带来总冠军. 过去的两个季后赛为了证明这个说法的错误做出了巨大的努力,只是由于关键球员的受伤 总让他们功亏一篑. Deep down, the Suns know they can prove nothing more until the postseason begins, especially after beating the Mavericks in Dallas. This is a dangerous attitude for a team to have, especially when that team has never won a champ ionship. 太阳现在觉得只有季后赛才是证明他们的舞台，特别是在客场击败小牛之后. 这对于一支从未赢得过冠军的球队来说,不是应有的态度. The Suns might have the best collection of talent in the NBA, but they better get a handle on what's coming. They're looking soft once again. Mavericks coach Avery Johnson put two lumbering giants (Erick Dampier, DeSagana Diop) in the game just to hang around the basket and collect offensive rebounds, and the strategy nearly killed the Suns. Meanwhile, Boris Diaw is looking very much like a guy who got a new contract ($45 million) and became fat and happy as soon as the ink dried. 可能太阳队有NBA最好的球员组合,不过他们应该更好的对待接下来的比赛,而不是 像现在看起来这样又一次软弱下去.小牛主帅Avery Johnson放了两个大铁塔(蛋皮和Diop) 在篮下争抢前场篮板,这个战术差点让太阳输球.同时,Diaw看起来很像一个刚签了肥约、 但出工不出力的球员????? Because of Diaw's intelligence and unselfishness, D'Antoni protects his starting forward like no one else on the team. He now says Diaw's recent back injury - the one that seemed to last forever - might be preventing him from playing physical basketball. If that's the case, D'Antoni might want to give a few more minutes to Kurt Thomas. And with alarm bells again ringing, the Suns might want to spend the next few weeks sharpening their minds and their elbows. Diaw的头脑和无私,让他在D'Antoni的先发中占据了牢固位子.D'Antoni在Diaw伤愈 归队后－尽管Diaw的受伤似乎一直都没好－在比赛中应当避免更多的身体接触.如果是那样 的话,那么D'Antoni理应给KT更多机会. Our beloved basketball team is very lucky that the Spurs have lost their past two games, or the race for the No. 2 West seed would be very thorny. Meanwhile, a potential first-round matchup against the Lakers seems likely and almost preordained. Given Phil Jackson's blueprint for slowing down and mucking up the game, you know how ugly that could be. 我们所钟爱的太阳队最近运气也还不错,马刺连败两场,否则西部第二的竞争会更加 激烈.同时,季后赛的对手有很大可能是湖人.考虑到禅师会安排的慢节奏和多犯规的打法, 你可以想像比赛可能会多难看. Either way, here's what we know: After a week frequently described as a litmus test, the Suns made it to the top of the mountain only to slide back down on their backsides. 另一方面,我们所知道的是:在经历了一周的所谓"试金石"性质的比赛后,太阳现在 是已经登到顶峰并且在面对回程的艰难了. Now they are back where they are most comfortable and frequently most succes- sful: surrounded by questions and shadows of doubt. 现在他们(太阳队)已经从最舒服和风光的日子中走过,目前包围他们的是问题和 置疑.（不过应该如标题所说,那也没什么） －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ 感谢批兔的DDT和fc大的指正. --
