原文出处： http://0rz.net/54154 -- HOUSTON -- The Pistons can deny it all they want. But these days, it's mighty hard to play the disrespect card they love so much. 休士顿讯 -- 只要他们喜欢，入选明星赛的4位活塞球员大可对任何的访问说不。但这 几天，他们很难任意对访问者们发出好人卡。 They certainly couldn't Friday, not when four Pistons -- and coach Flip Saunders -- rolled into a media session to discuss Sunday's All-Star Game, where they will represent the Eastern Conference. 尤其是礼拜五，不只这4位球员 -- 甚至连老桑教练 -- 都参加了以星期天全明星赛为 题所举办的媒体说明会，因为他们都将代表东区於明星赛中亮相。 From the moment they stepped onto the ballroom floor, the dance was on. Writers and broadcasters from across the country converged on Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace, asking old standards (What's different about this team under Flip?) and new hits (Which hairstyle do you prefer, the 'Fro or the cornrows?). 从他们踏进大厅的那一刻起，大夥儿就随之起舞，来自全国各地的记者和播音员围绕 在枪蜥、RIP和双蛙身边，抢着问一些老掉牙(在老桑教练的带领下有什麽不一样的感觉？) 和新近(你喜欢怎样的发型，爆炸头或玉米卷头)的问题。 They had just arrived from Detroit an hour or so earlier, but Ben Wallace said the feeling already was different from his All-Star experiences as a solo Piston the previous three seasons. 他们才刚从底特律抵达一个小时甚至还不到，但班蛙表示他已经感受到今年的明星赛 将会和过去3个球季以来他自己单刀赴会的经验有很大的不同。 "You've got guys around you all the time who you can relate to and who can relate to you," Wallace said. "That's a different experience in itself." 班蛙说"你身边将围绕一群总是如同哥儿们的好伙伴，那会是非常与众不同的经验。" Saunders, who will coach the East team with his Pistons staff, said there was a "Pistons contingent" everywhere he went. And it was true. On one side of the long ballroom, four out of the five tables housed Pistons players. 将带领包含他4名活塞子弟兵在明星赛出征的老桑表示不管他去哪都会有一群"活塞亲 卫队"跟着他。他说的也没错，在长长的大厅的其中一侧，5张桌子其中有4张是为了活塞球 员准备的。 Some reveled in the moment in the spotlight. 有些人深深地陶醉在聚光灯下的此时此刻。 "I come from a place where this doesn't happen," Hamilton said. "To be here is unbelievable because when everyone tells you, you can't do something, you can't do something, you can't do something, and you get the opportunity to be in the NBA, to win a championship, and now, to be an All-Star, it's unbelievable." RIP说"我来自一个不可能的地方，能站在这里简直叫人不敢相信，因为每个人都这麽 告诉你，你做不到这个，做不到那个，你根本就没机会，而你却经由持续不断的努力终於 如愿以偿打进NBA，甚至赢得一座总冠军，而今天，更入选全明星赛，这实在不可思议。" Hamilton and Billups are first-time All-Stars. Rasheed Wallace was an All-Star twice when he played at Portland. The Pistons, whose 42-9 record is the best in the NBA, will have four players in the game for the first time. All were picked as reserves. RIP和枪蜥今年是首度入选全明星赛，溪蛙则在过去还效力於波特兰拓荒者时期就已经 二度入选。活塞本季42胜9败的战绩独步联盟，这将会是球队队史上第一次同时有4名球员 入选全明星赛，而他们全都是以替补身分入选。 Hamilton had been giddy when the announcement came last week, and a two-day trip to the Bahamas ("I needed some me time," he said) didn't diminish that. If anything, walking into the spotlight only strengthened it. RIP自从上周得知自己入选全明星赛後就高兴地头昏目眩，而巴拿马二日游并未减轻该 情形(他说"我需要一些属於自己的时间。")，如果说有任何改变，走进聚光灯下让这情形 更加强烈了(要丢了！？)。 "I never witnessed playing on an All-Star team," said Hamilton, 28. "The only thing I witnessed was playing a video game and picking an All-Star team on there. "It'll be fun when I can go on a video game now and see myself with that All-Star jersey," Hamilton said. 28岁的RIP表示"我从未入选过全明星赛，以前我只有在电动游戏中才有机会参与全明 星赛。现在如果我再玩电动，看着自己穿着全明星赛的球衣，那肯定很有趣。" Across the room, Billups was inundated with questions about his MVP candidacy, the Pistons' offense and the team's championship hunt. Hard to feel disrespected with topics like that. 房间的另一端，枪蜥被有机会被选为MVP、如果主导活塞的进攻及球队将如何猎取总冠 军等相关问题团团包围，被问及这类型的问题，你很难觉得不受尊重。 "Our last game was Tuesday, so I had a couple days to soak it in," Billups said . "That's when it kind of hit me that I made it. I'm an All-Star. It's still a little surreal right now. It's something that I always wanted." 枪蜥说"我们上一场比赛在星期二，所以我有好几天的时间可以沉淀、思考。当我听到 这消息时像是被什麽东西K到一样，我入选了全明星赛，这直到现在都还有点像是在作梦， 那是一直以来我梦寐以求的啊。" At another table, Saunders talked strategy. He said he would get the Pistons in the game together with about four or five minutes left in the first quarter. A fifth player, an honorary Piston for the night, will be Celtics forward Paul Pierce. 在另一张桌子，老桑谈论着战略。他表示在第一节剩下4到5分钟时会让4名活塞球员一 起登场，而第五名球员将会是伪活塞球员，塞尔提克的包皮耳屎。 Other than that, Saunders said he just hoped no fouls would be called while his players wait to check in. 还有还有，老桑还表示他希望在他的子弟兵等待上场替补时，场上不要有人被吹判犯 规。 "In that case," Saunders said, "we might call them back." 老桑说"如果这样，我可能会把他们召回。" Once they're in the game, "We'll run our offense," Saunders said. "We'll run our plays. That'll be the most relaxing time that I'll have at the All-Star Game, when they're on the floor." 一旦他们上场，老桑说"我们会打出活塞式的进攻，他们上场时会是我在全明星赛执 教最轻松的一刻。" Only one Piston refused to bask in the glow of arriving at All-Star weekend. Just around the corner from Billups' table, Rasheed Wallace was patient, as he answered questions for 45 minutes. That's a lifetime of "unnecessary stuff" to 'Sheed. 只有一位活塞球员拒绝沉浸於全明星周末即将到来的激情之中，那就是枪蜥桌子旁角 落的溪蛙，他在回答问题的45分钟内表现地病恹恹，访问对溪蛙来说，终其一生都是无关 紧要的小事。 And while he said he was happy for his teammates -- and jealous of Tayshaun Prince, who was in the Bahamas -- Wallace said he would be happier if everyone left the Pistons where they belong -- in the shadows of disrespect. 而当溪蛙说到在巴拿马度假的队友兼明星赛遗珠小王子时显得很开心，他表示如果每 个人都把活塞留在那个属於他们的地方(被不经意的蔑视)他会更高兴。 "I liked it a whole lot better before," Wallace said. "... Keep us on the backburner. We won't lose our swagger at all, because when you put that food on the backburner, it's just simmering and it tastes better. 溪蛙说"我很怀念以前的日子，就把我们摆在次要位置吧。我们完全不会因此失去威胁 性，因为当你把食物放在火力较小的後炉口慢慢炖，那嚐起来更美味。" "When you got that food on the front burner, that's the one you're paying attention to the most, and that's the one that might burn. We on that backburner." "当你把食物放在前炉口，那会是你付出最多注意力的位置，也是最有可能烧焦的。我 们还是习惯惦惦吃三碗公。" --
