原文出处： http://0rz.net/5211o -- AUBURN HILLS -- It seemed like a fair question. 奥本山讯 -- 这似乎是个答案显而易见的问题。 The Pistons have won six straight. In the last four, they have averaged 107.5 points, 31.7 assists and 11.5 turnovers. They have made more than 50 percent of their shots from the field and nearly 50 percent from beyond the three-point arc. They won those four games by an average of 21.7 points. 活塞已经连胜6场了，在过去4场比赛，他们平均攻下107.5分、31.7次助攻及11.5次失 误。他们平均命中率逾5成，三分命中率也接近5成，那4场比赛平均胜分高达21.7。 So the question put to coach Flip Saunders was this: Given the team's efficiency and utter dominance of late, what the heck could he have possibly talked about at practice on Saturday? 所以摆在教练老桑面前的问题是：球队最近在比赛中已经展现了绝对的支配能力，在 礼拜六的练习中还有什麽可能威胁活塞霸权的潜在因素会拿出来讨论吗？ "Same thing we talk about every day," he said. "When you start playing a certain way as a team, and reach a certain level, what you do is raise your expectations. You hope that the way you are playing now is the norm and that you will continue to play at that level." 他说"我们每天都谈论同样的事情，当球队的运作上了轨道并达到一定水准以上，你 所要做的就是将期望值提高，你会希望球队现在的表现已经是常态，今後球队也将维持同 样水准的表现。" Saunders said he was impressed that the team's recent run hasn't been spurred by any one or two players. It has been a group effort. Still, there have been two main catalysts -- Rasheed Wallace and the bench unit. 老桑表示最令他印象深刻的事是球队最近锐不可挡的表现并不是因为阵中某1、2位球 员的表现大爆发，而是全队通力合作所致。话虽如此，还是有2个主要的催化剂 -- 溪蛙以 及任劳任怨、分工明确的板凳群。 "The bench has been great," Saunders said. "And that creates that vicious cycle . When the bench is playing well, they play more minutes and the starters get more rest." 老桑说"替补球员们的表现实在太棒了，而那导致了恶性循环(译按：应该是指对敌队 而言)。当板凳表现越好，他们上场时间就越多，先发球员也就获得更多的休息时间。 The bench averaged 35 points over the last four games, and has outscored the opposing reserves by 19 over that span. 板凳群过去4场比赛平均贡献35分，球队在这段连胜期间平均胜分有19分之多。 "The bench has done a great job," Tayshaun Prince said. "They are starting to give us some successful minutes now and that's been making it easier for all of us." 小王子说"板凳群贡献良多，他们现在开始成功地为我们分摊一些上场时间，而那让球 队打得更加轻松。" As has, Prince said, the play of Rasheed Wallace. 小王子还表示溪蛙的表现也举足轻重。 "They way Sheed's been shooting the ball from the perimeter, it's just opened up everything for everybody else," Prince said. "We are really feeding off that ." 小王子说"溪蛙的外线让球队能顺利展开攻势，我们真的从中获得许多帮助。" Wallace's hot streak extends five games. He has averaged 19.8 points, shot 59 percent overall and 50 percent from three-point range. 溪蛙火热的手感延续了5场比赛，他以59%的平均命中率及50%的三分命中率平均攻得 19.8分。 In the last four games, the Pistons have made 49 percent of 84 three-pointers. That statistic would have been a cause for concern last season. Not so much now . 过去4场比赛，活塞三分球一共投84中49，三分球命中率不佳去年还是个令人担心的问 题，但现在看来已不需太过care。 "It's about efficiency and how many points we're scoring per possession, not so much how you get them," Saunders said. "It goes back to my egg theory. If it's hard on the outside, usually it's soft on the inside. Right now, people have been playing us soft on the outside and trying to protect the middle a little more. When teams start defending us harder on the outside, you will see us go back inside more." 老桑说"这攸关得分效率以及每次我们握有球权能得到多少分数，而不是你能握有几次 球权，这麽说就又回到我"鸡生蛋或蛋生鸡"的理论了。如果球队较强调内线防守，通常外 线的防守就相对弱势，现在对手对我们外线防备较松散而试着在内线加强防守。而当对手 开始加强外线的防守时，你将会看到我们强攻禁区的次数增加。" That might happen tonight. The Houston Rockets are without starting center Yao Ming (left big toe) and possibly starting power forward Stromile Swift (left eye). 那情形今晚可能发生，因为休士顿火箭少了先发中锋姚明(左脚大拇指受伤)及原本可 能先发的大前锋人选-S.Swift(左眼受伤)。 "Bottom line, we are a multi-dimensional team that can play different ways," Saunders said. "We can play inside, we can play deep perimeter and we can play mid-range. We can do different things and that's what makes our offense so effective." 老桑说"还好，我们是一个全方位的球队，什麽样的球赛都有办法应付。我们能里能外 ，也能投中距离。球队不管什麽进攻方式都有能人，所以我们的进攻很有效率。" -- Rockets wounds 因伤所困的火箭 Tracy McGrady is back, but that might be the lone positive for the Rockets. McGrady had missed five games because of a back injury before returning Friday to score 35 points in 40 minutes of a double-overtime victory in Chicago. T.Mac回来了，不过那对火箭来说可能是唯一的好消息，T.Mac在礼拜五对上公牛的比 赛上场40分钟取得35前因背伤已经连续缺赛5场了。 That victory ended a seven-game losing streak for the Rockets, who come in at 13-25. 那场比赛获胜终结了火箭的7连败，让他们的战绩回到13胜25败。 "It's been a tough situation for Jeff (Van Gundy , Rockets coach)," Saunders said. "They haven't had one or two injuries, they've had a barrage. Basically, they have been without two guys who are All-Star starters in McGrady and Yao. It's tough, but they have managed to stay competitive." 老桑说"那对火箭总教练J.Van Gundy来说是个相当艰难的处境，他们不是只有1或2个 球员受伤，而是像得鸡瘟般接二连三，倒了一片。基本上，他们少了两位全明星级先发球 员T.Mac和姚明，这很棘手，但他们已经设法让球队保有竞争力。" The Rockets are also without Jon Barry (right calf), Moochie Norris (left foot) , Bob Sura (right knee) and Derek Anderson (right calf). 火箭同时还少了J.Barry(右小腿受伤)、M.Norris(左脚受伤)、B.Sura(右膝)以及D. Anderson(右小腿受伤)。 In games that McGrady hasn't played or has only played a small part, the Rockets are 0-16. T.Mac没上场或上场时间不多的比赛，火箭全军覆没，0胜16败。 -- In the bonus 附带一提 The Rockets' injury problems stand out in contrast to the Pistons'. Not only has no player other than Lindsey Hunter (who has been out all year after ankle surgery) missed a game because of injury, nobody has missed a practice. 火箭的伤兵问题和活塞球员的身体状况成强烈反比，除了因接受脚踝手术而休息一整 年，本季连一场比赛都还没打过的猎人，其他球员还没有因受伤而不能上场的，甚至没有 人曾错过任何一次球队安排的训练。 "That's even more unbelievable than not missing any games," Saunders said. " Part of that is the (players') makeup and how they take care of themselves. And part of it is our medical people and the job they do. It's a total approach." 老桑说"那甚至比没错过任何比赛还惊人，一部分是因为球员的训练量足够以及他们照 顾自己得当，另一部份则是因为我们的队医及训练员都很认真做好他们分内的工作，这是 大家同心协力的成果。 In the last two seasons, and nearly half of this one, the Pistons starters have missed a total of 21 games and never has more than one starter been out a time. 在过去将近2个半球季，活塞先发五虎总共只缺席21场，而且从未有2名以上先发球员 同时缺阵的情形。 --
