原文出处： http://0rz.net/5014Y -- AUBURN HILLS -- Coach Flip Saunders has surrendered to the reality that, no matter how much success his Pistons team might have, somebody will always find something to complain about. 奥本山讯 -- 老桑教练已经向这样的事实投降，不管他执教的活塞队会拿到几场胜利 ，总有些人还是会一直找出一些事情来抱怨。 "It's a funny thing," he said before the Pistons put an 85-71 whipping on the New Jersey Nets Tuesday. "At the beginning of the season when we were playing well, everybody said they didn't want us to play like that so early because we wouldn't have anything left for the playoffs. 他在礼拜二活塞以85比71痛宰纽泽西篮网前表示"这是件有趣的事，在本季初我们表现 相当出色时，每个人都说他们不希望我们这麽早就把尽全力冲战绩，因为怕我们到季後赛 时体力放尽。" "Now that we've lost a couple of games, they are saying we've lost it." "现在我们已经输了一些比赛，他们就说我们已经输掉了那股气势。" The Pistons had lost four of their previous eight, but still own the best record in the league (42-9). The recent losses prompted the Nets' Richard Jefferson to conclude that maybe the Pistons had lost some of their teeth. 活塞前8场比赛输了4场，但依然维持住全联盟最佳战绩(42胜9败)，最近的败绩让篮网 的Jefferson下了活塞可能已经不再强势的结论。 "I think they have come down a little bit to Earth after their fast start," Jefferson told reporters on Monday. "It is extremely tough to live up to that hype. Everybody was talking about 70 (victories) after 35 games. I knew they were mortal. I didn't think they were unbeatable." Jefferson礼拜一时向记者表示"我想他们在快热、杰出的开季後，现在表现已经比较 接近一支存在於地球的球队了。要维持那样高档的表现是相当不容易的，在他们打完35场 球赛後，每个人都在谈论达到70胜的可能性。我知道他们也是凡人，我不认为他们是无敌 的。" The Pistons gave him and the Nets something to chew on over the All-Star break. 活塞给他和篮网一些东西可以在全明星周末休息时好好地去回想。 Chauncey Billups led the way with 19 points and 10 assists. Richard Hamilton, who celebrated his 28th birthday, scored 18. Both Wallaces contributed double-doubles -- Ben had 10 points and 13 rebounds, Rasheed had 13 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks. 枪蜥以19分、10助攻带领活塞取得胜利，欢度28岁生日的RIP则拿下18分。双蛙都贡献 了2个双位数 -- 班蛙有10分、13篮板，溪蛙则有13分、11篮板及3阻攻的表现。 The Nets, who have now lost seven straight road games and 10 of their last 11, got 18 points from Jefferson. 篮网已经连续输了7场客场比赛，过去11场比赛也输了10场之多，而赛前放话的 Jefferson则为篮网添得18分。 The Pistons blew the game open with a 14-0 run in the third quarter, keyed by the defensive work of reserve Carlos Delfino. Delfino, in the game because Hamilton had four fouls, forced two Vince Carter turnovers early in the run. He also blocked one of Carter's shots and stripped him of the ball. 活塞在第三节初以一波14比0的攻势让这场比赛大势底定，而替补上阵的Delfino所做 的防守也居功厥伟。这场比赛中因RIP过早领到第4次犯规而上场的Delfino迫使VC在篮网那 波攻势中很快就失误2次，并盖了VC一个火锅，还把球叨走。 Carter finished with 13 points. The Nets missed 13 of 17 shots in the third quarter and scored 11 points. The Pistons led 71-50 entering the fourth quarter . VC终场拿到13分。篮网在第三节出手17次却有13次未命中，该节仅取得11分，活塞则 带着71比50的领先优势进入第四节。 "Two years ago, this team won the championship and they were picked third in the conference the next year," Saunders said. "Last year they were in the NBA Finals and weren't even picked to win the division this year. We're one of those teams they always seem to shoot down, they shoot our guys down. We'll see what happens at the end." 老桑说"两年前，这支球队赢得总冠军并被预估隔年会拿下东区第三种子的席位。去年 他们闯进NBA总冠军赛，但甚至被预估今年连分组冠军都拿不到。我们属於那几支总会被人 们低估的球队之一，他们把我们看扁了。没关系，大家走着瞧。" Saunders said, losses aside, he has seen very little slippage in his team throughout the first 51 games. 老桑表示，撇开败仗不谈，他觉得他的球队经历了前51场比赛後战力下滑的迹象非常 之小。 "Of our nine losses, there were only three that we didn't have a chance to win, " Saunders said. "Very rarely do you play your first 51 games and have a chance to win 48 of them. From my standpoint, that's playing at a consistently high level." 老桑说"我们吞下的9场败仗中仅有3场我们完全没机会赢球。你很难有机会在打完前51 场球後拿下48胜。从我的观点来看，他们的表现一直维持在超高水准。" Even the Nets would have to concede that point. 就算是篮网也必须承认那个观点。 -- Final starter 最後一个先发球员 Saunders tipped his hand a bit before the game as to who he would select to start in the All-Star game to replace the injured Jermaine O'Neal . 赛前被问及会选择哪一位球员来替补因伤在全明星赛缺席的J.O'Neal的先发位置时， 老桑轻敲着他的手。 "Right now I am leaning toward Vince Carter ," he said. "I think he deserves it ." 他说"现在我倾向让VC先发，我认为那是他应得的。" Saunders said he wasn't worried about matching up size-wise. 老桑表示他不担心VC对上西区怪物前锋群时有身高劣势。 "I am not concerned about putting guys out there by position," he said. 他说"我并不是以位置来决定把谁放在场上。" "I am going to play our four guys together. I don't want to separate them. Plus , Vince is a guy the fans always vote onto the team and he's been hurt and has had to miss a game or two. He deserves to start. We will let him and LeBron ( James ) fight over who gets to guard Tim Duncan ." "我将会让球队4名球员一起上场，我不想把他们拆散。加上VC是一个总是受到球迷热 爱，屡次被选上明星赛先发阵容中的明星球员，而他已经因伤错过1到2场比赛了。先发是 他应得的，我们会让他和LBJ打一架来决定谁去防守叮当肯。" Saunders has not decided who he will play with the four Pistons. 老桑还没决定他会把那位球员派上场和他的4名活塞球员一起打球。 -- In the bonus 附带一提 The Pistons are now a perfect 7-0 in the alternate red uniforms. Sadly, they can only wear them one more time. The NBA restricts use of alternate uniforms to eight games. 活塞穿着可自行决定穿或不穿的那套大红球衣时的战绩是完美的7胜0败。但令人难过 的是，那套球衣他们只能再穿一次，因为NBA当局规定那套可供选择的球衣仅能在8场比赛 亮相。 The New Jersey press notes pointed out that in head-to-head matchups between Billups and Jason Kidd , Kidd is up 12-9 and has outscored him, 15.7-13.5. Of course, those numbers include games Billups played before becoming a Piston. In head-to-head matchups between the two since Billups came to Detroit, Billups is up 8-5 in the regular season (17-12 counting the playoffs) and he's outscored Kidd 17.4-14. He outscored Kidd 19-10 on Tuesday. 纽泽西的媒体做了一份枪蜥和J.Kidd生涯对战表现的对照表，Kidd以12胜9败领先且得 分方面也以15.7比13.5胜出，当然，那些数据是包括枪蜥还没穿上活塞球衣前的。如果仅 比较枪蜥来到活塞後的数据，枪蜥在例行赛的部分以8胜5败领先(季後赛的部分也以17胜12 败领先)，得分部份则以17.4比14胜出。在周二的比赛，他和Kidd分别拿下19分及10分。 The Pistons home game against New Jersey on Sunday, March 26 has been passed over by ABC. Thus, the starting time will be moved to 7:30 p.m. (from 3:30 p.m. ). It will be televised locally on FSN Detroit and nationally on ESPN. 活塞在3月26日礼拜天於主场迎战篮网的比赛ABC将不会转播。而比赛开始的时间将会 从下午3:30移至7:30，并在当地电视台FSN底特律及ESPN频道进行当地及全国转播。 --
