原文出处： http://0rz.net/cf0WE -- AUBURN HILLS -- The Detroit Pistons are the best team in the NBA because players understand their roles. 奥本山宫殿报导 -- 底特律活塞是联盟最佳球队，因为他们的球员都清楚自己扮演的 角色。 The same can be said for the coaching staff, with different contributions coming from each to help shape what has been the league's most dominant team this season. 同样的一句话可以用来形容他们的教练团，来自各个不同专业领域的贡献塑造了这支 本季联盟中最具支配能力的球队。 "They all bring something different to the table," said first-year Pistons head coach Flip Saunders. "I have great confidence in every one of them." 今年刚接下活塞队总教练职务的F.Saunders说"他们都为这支球队带来不一样的东西， 我对队中每个人都深具信心。" That's because each understands that he has a specific role, and never loses sight of that. 那是因为每个人都明确知道自己的任务，而且从未忘记(本分)。 Sidney Lowe's strength is at the defensive end of the floor. That, coupled with Lowe's experience as an NBA head coach -- he led the Minnesota Timberwolves (1993-1994) and Vancouver/Memphis Grizzlies (2000-2002) -- has made him a valuable asset to the staff. Sidney Lowe的专长是防守，那结合了他担任总教练期间的经验 -- 他在'93-'94年於 明尼苏达灰狼执教，'00-'02年则是在温哥华/孟斐斯灰熊 -- 让他成为教练团的重要资产 。 "He knows what it's like sitting in that (head coaching) chair," said Saunders. "It's always good to have somebody who's been through those situations." Saunders说"坐在总教练那位置是怎样的感觉他感同身受，身边能有曾历练那样职位的 助手存在总是件好事。" Don Zierden, who has been one of Saunders' closest friends for years, has a great feel for offensive play and is an effective communicator with young players. Don Zierden是这几年Saunders最亲近的好友之一，对於进攻有他的一套而且是一个擅 於和年轻球员沟通的人。 "Coach Z, man, he's great," said Pistons rookie Alex Acker. "He's always encouraging you, stuff like that." 菜鸟A.Acker说"Z教练啊，你知道的，他是个好人。他总是鼓励你，之类的。" Then there's Igor Kokoskov, now in his third season as a Pistons assistant after spending the previous three as an assistant with the Los Angeles Clippers . 然後是担任活塞助理教练第三季的Igor Kokoskov，他到活塞任教前在洛杉矶快艇也当 了3年助理教练。 He was the one assistant that Saunders didn't know that well. Needless to say, Saunders has been pleasantly surprised. 他是Saunders比较不了解的一位助理教练，但不消说，他已经让Saunders感到惊艳。 "Every day, he comes into my office with three new plays," Saunders said. "My playbook is big enough, let alone to keep on adding. He has a very good understanding of wrinkles and things that he wants to do." Saunders说"每一天他都带着3个新的构想来我的办公室，我的战术本已经够厚的了， 更不用说持续增加的部分，他有很多的想要尝试的锦囊妙计。" Saunders also has zone defensive guru Kevin Wilson aboard as a consultant, and he is involved in every team practice. Saunders还有区域防守导师Kevin Wilson随侍在侧当他的顾问，且他参与了每一次球 队的训练活动。 "We haven't played it (zone) a lot," Saunders said. "But at some point, it's gonna be a factor. He (Wilson) does a lot, studying opposing team's cuts, as far as how they're going against our zones. Every game, we may not use it but we're pretty much prepared on what we need to do." Saunders说"我们(区域防守)运用还不多，不过某些时候，它会成为致胜关键。他( Wilson)就对手欲破解我们区域防守这点付出了很多心力在尝试找出对方的弱点，每一场球 ，我们可能没使用它但在我们需要去做的部分已未雨绸缪做了很完善的准备。" And then there's Ron Harper, who won five NBA championships as a player with the Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Lakers. Harper brings a championship mentality to his work with the perimeter players. 接着还有球员时期在芝加哥公牛及洛杉矶湖人五度取得冠军戒指的Ron Harper，他以 一个前冠军队伍成员的身分教导球员们夺冠队伍应具备的心态。 Shortly after he accepted the job with the Pistons, Harper made it abundantly clear why he was here. 在他接任活塞队助理教练这职位没多久，Harper就很明确地让大家知道为什麽球团要 延聘他来(当助理教练)。 "My main goal is to make sure that we get this team back to where it was two years ago (when the Pistons won the NBA title)," Harper said. Harper说"我的主要目的就是确定我们能让这支球队回到两年前的那个位置(当年活塞 赢得NBA总冠军)。" So far, Harper and the other assistants are well on their way to achieving that goal. 迄今，Harper和其他教练团成员在他们让球队重返目标的路上表现良好。 Saunders is reluctant to talk about comparisons that are already being drawn between this Pistons team and the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls that won an record 72 regular-season games. However, he acknowledges he has been pleasantly surprised by the Pistons' 20-3 start. 对於球队早就被拿来和'95-'96年创下例行赛72胜10败纪录的芝加哥公牛比较这件事， Saunders不愿多谈，但他承认对於活塞开季拿下20胜3败的成绩感到很惊喜。 "I don't think anyone expects to get off to 20-3," Saunders told reporters following Tuesday night's 93-89 win against Portland. "I thought we had the ability to get off to a good start, but I didn't think it would get as gaudy as it's gotten. A lot of times, you're only two or three possessions away from being 16-7, or whatever." Saunders在活塞礼拜二晚上以93比89击败波特兰拓荒者後告诉记者"我想没有任何一个 人预测到我们会有20胜3败的开季成绩，我想我们有能力拿到不错的开季成绩，但没想过战 绩竟如此亮丽。很多时候你只会多输2~3场，拿到16胜7败或之类的。" --
