原文出处： http://0rz.net/b60UW -- Here's a good rule of thumb about the NBA -- if there's snow on the ground outside the arena, the game played inside is likely of little significance. 这是NBA的一个经验法则 -- 如果球场外面的地上布满了雪，场内进行的比赛可能也无 足轻重。 But it sure didn't feel that way this Christmas afternoon. 但很肯定地圣诞节下午进行的比赛并不是这麽一回事。 Sunday's 85-70 whipping of San Antonio, the team that topped the Pistons for last season's NBA title, sure seemed like validation, as if the previous 24 games were just the evidence and this one finally hammered the truth home that, yes, this is the best team in the league. 礼拜天活塞以85比70痛击圣安东尼奥马刺 - 那支上一季踩着活塞肩膀封王的冠军队伍 。这场比赛就像是在确定活塞前24场比赛的成绩是否仅是昙花一现，而这次在主场的获胜 再次证明，是的，这是联盟目前最优秀的一支球队。 Not that the Pistons would ever admit that. 但活塞并不因此而感到自满。 "What does it mean at this point?" coach Flip Saunders said. "I don't think you put too much stock in it." 教练F.Saunders说"这场胜仗在此刻代表什麽？我不认为你需要太过在意这场比赛的结 果。" The NBA promotions committee sure didn't, pumping the nation's airwaves full of Lakers-Heat commercials all week. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich joked before the game that he took pride in playing in the junior varsity warm-up to the real deal. NBA推广委员会也不这麽想，他们整个礼拜在各大媒体强力播放圣诞节大餐湖人对热火 的广告。马刺教练G.Popovich在比赛前开玩笑说他很荣幸能担任主菜上桌前餐前主秀。 "We're not only thrilled, but we think it's a huge responsibility to be playing the JV game," he said. "Because, you know, you've got to do well to keep the people around for the varsity game. So we're taking this very seriously." 他说"我们不只是兴奋，还认为把次要的比赛打好是很重大的责任。你知道的，因为你 必须把场子炒热以便人们可以持续关注真正关键的比赛，所以我们是很认真地看待这场比 赛的。" And the Pistons players themselves were in downplay mode, even after enacting their bit of revenge for last season's Game 7 loss. 活塞的球员们反而没把这场比赛看得这麽重，尽管这场比赛有点向马刺报去年总冠军 赛第7场关键败仗一箭之仇的意味。 Center Ben Wallace called it just "another game in December." And Chauncey Billups said he cared little about anything besides adding to the team's rapidly growing resume. 中锋班蛙仅称之为"不过是12月的一场比赛。"而枪蜥表示除了将球队的战绩持续向上 推进外，任何事情他都不怎麽在意。 "Just another win on the record," Billups said. "Just another win. Christmas. Get home." 枪蜥说"这不过是在战绩表上再添一笔胜场数罢了，一场於圣诞节在主场拿下的胜利。 " OK, fine. So in a long 82-game NBA season, this was but one tiny blip on a busy radar screen. 没错，NBA球季很漫长，足足有82场比赛，这场胜利仅是迈向总冠军之路的一小步。 Still, it felt like something bigger, if only for the way it went down, two defensive heavyweights perhaps previewing the matchup the nation will watch in June when the Lakers and the Heat are long forgotten. 尽管不如湖人热火之战那般受到重视，那场比赛仍有更重大的意义。没意外的话，这 两支重量级的防守球队将会是全世界在明年六月注视的焦点，当时湖人和热火应该早就被 抛诸脑後了。 "It was a very entertaining game," Saunders said. "You saw, both teams, who they are. Meat and potato teams. Maybe this is why the game wasn't hyped as much. This is what basketball is meant to be like. Play defense, play team basketball. Not turn the ball over, and make plays for each other." Saunders说"这是场很有趣的比赛。你看，那两支球队原本就是媒体宠儿，也许这就是 我们这场比赛不那麽受到重视的原因。篮球比赛的本质本该是努力防守、团队合作，不要 一拿球就想要自干，而是为队友制造更好的机会。" The Pistons held the Spurs (21-7) to eight first quarter points, a San Antonio franchise record for fewest points in a first quarter. Detroit also out-rebounded the Spurs, 57-30, and scored 20 points off their 18 offensive rebounds, an effort generated by Ben Wallace, who finished with 10 points and 21 rebounds, his most since 2004. 活塞将马刺(目前战绩21胜7败)首节得分压制到仅有8分，这是马刺第一节得分最低纪 录。活塞总篮板数也以57比30远远领先马刺，并利用18个进攻篮板制造的第二波进攻机会 拿到20分，这都要归功於班蛙的贡献，他终场得到10分及自'04年以来最多的21颗篮板(进 攻篮板7颗)。 "They outplayed us, honestly," said Spurs guard Tony Parker, who had 19 points. 拿了19分的马刺後卫T.Parker说"说实话，他们表现完全优於我们。" The Pistons' primary concern Sunday was containing Parker, who, remarkably, leads the league in points scored in the paint. In the first quarter, it was clear why. Parker drove repeatedly into the lane, flipping up his floater each time and watching it fall more often than not. 活塞礼拜天的防守重心放在Parker身上，值得注意的是，本季迄今他是禁区内得分最 多的球员。在第一节，Parker就以实际行动证明他的身手并非浪得虚名，他多次杀入禁区 上篮，而进的次数也比没进的多(事实上第一节马刺所得8分全都是Parker贡献的，3次上篮 外加1次投篮)。 But after an early timeout, the Pistons made an adjustment in their pick-and-roll defense, and from then on, Parker's once wide-open running routes were filled with Pistons defenders and their lengthy arms. 不过很快地在一次暂停过後，活塞在针对马刺挡切战术的防守做了调整，Parker一开 始如入无人之境的切入路线被活塞的防守者及他们的长手臂挡住了去路。 "He had to see a lot of bodies," Saunders said. "He had to see the Pistons' numbers and the Piston logo on the front of that jersey and know that there were people there to give help the whole time." Saunders说"他必须面对很多防守者，会看到有很多穿着活塞球衣的球员挡在他的面前 ，会知道整场比赛都会有人前仆後继，紧紧地黏着他。" And really, who cares if one player finds his way to easy baskets if no one else can? After the first quarter, the score was Pistons 18, Parker 8, the rest of the Spurs lineup 0. 不过说真的，如果只有一个球员可以找到轻易得分的方式而其他人都不得其门而入， 谁在乎呢？在第一节结束後，活塞拿了18分，Parker独得8分，其他马刺球员一分未得。 Meanwhile, Rasheed Wallace more than held his own inside against Tim Duncan, holding him to 9 of 20 shooting. Duncan finished with 18 points and 11 boards. 比赛中，溪蛙将在禁区压制叮当的工作做得十分出色，他让叮当全场投20中9，拿下18 分及11篮板。 The Spurs shot just 40% as a team. 马刺全场投篮命中率仅40%。 "We're still a defensive basketball team," Billups said. "I think that so many people are talking about our offense because it's the only thing new. That's the only thing new around here is our offensive presence. We're still a defensive basketball team, and when you play another great team like that, defense pretty much wins." 枪蜥说"我们仍是一支防守劲旅。我想有很多人在讨论我们的进攻，因为那是我们本季 唯一展现的新风格。我们优异的进攻表现是以往不曾有的，但我们仍是一支防守劲旅。而 当你与另一支具有相同风格的球队交手时，优异的防守才足以致胜。" Billups led Detroit with 20 points, while four others also scored in double-digits, including Antonio McDyess, who had 10 off the bench. 枪蜥得到活塞最高的20分，另外还有4名球员得分达双位数，包括拿到10分的板凳球员 - 袋鼠。 The Spurs cut Detroit's lead to four in the fourth-quarter before an 11-4 Pistons run, capped with a three-pointer from Billups, gave Detroit an 11-point lead they protected the rest of the game. 在活塞开始一波11比4的攻势前，马刺一度将活塞的领先优势缩小至4分。那波攻势以 枪蜥的三分球为尾声，他们又将领先分数拉开至11分，并一路保持领先至比赛结束。 The Pistons, who lost Game 7 of the last season's Finals in the fourth quarter, outscored San Antonio, 28-17, in the fourth quarter on Sunday. 上一季在总冠军赛第7场第四节才输掉比赛的活塞，礼拜天在第四节以28比17狠狠地修 理了马刺，将那口鸟气吐了出来。 "I think what we can do now is we can change our personality," Saunders said. " Defense can carry us at times. But I thought in the fourth quarter, our offense ,we executed. To score 28 points down the stretch in the fourth quarter that's pretty impressive." Saunders说"我想我们现在能做的就是改变我们的心态。防守有时候能帮得了我们，但 在决胜的第四节，还需要攻击才能赢球。像这场比赛我们能坚持到底，在第四节还拿到28 分，那是令人钦佩的。" --
