原文出处： http://0rz.net/0e13Q -- HOUSTON -- They came in together, as coach Flip Saunders promised they would. Late in the first quarter of Sunday's All-Star game, Saunders gave the signal, and the four Pistons rose and strolled as a group down the sideline toward halfcourt, pulling off their warm-ups. The jersey beneath said it all. 就如同老桑教练允诺的，他们一起入选了。在星期天全明星赛的第一节末，老桑使了 个眼色，这四位来自活塞的带刺玫瑰一同走向中场附近的边线，脱掉了热身服，底下显露 出来的球衣说明了一切。 All-Stars, baby! 欢迎来到全明星赛，宝贝！ And later, they turned what was a West rout into a game, using their minutes late in the third quarter to create the game's turning point. What was a 17-point Western Conference lead at halftime turned into a 122-120 Eastern Conference win, thanks in no small part to the work of Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace, Richard Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace. 而之後他们扭转了由西区主导的比赛情势，用他们一贯的窒息式防守创造了逆转的契 机。虽然西区一度在中场时取得17分的领先，但最後东区却以122比120写下明星赛二连胜 的纪录，这很大一部分都得归功於默默付出的活塞四虎 -- 枪蜥、RIP及双蛙。 "It's just unreal," Billups said. "Just unreal. It's truly a dream. I'm just happy that I was selected to be a part of this." 枪蜥说"我是在作梦，对吧？这真像是梦里才可能发生的情节，能获选为明星队的一份 子，我真的很高兴。" These Pistons were happy just to walk out onto the NBA's biggest stage as a four-man unit late in the first quarter, a testament to team basketball and the Pistons' NBA best 42-9 start this season. 活塞四虎於第一节末踏上NBA最盛大的舞台之一时显得很高兴，因为这是对於团队篮球 及活塞本季42胜9败，全联盟最佳战绩的肯定。 Their contributions to the East's victory made it OK for them to enjoy it so much. 他们对於东区获胜所付出的心力让他们更有资格完全融入明星赛的欢愉之中。 "I definitely think we had a great time," said Hamilton, who had six points. " Especially in that third quarter when we was down and we brought the team back to take the lead." 拿下6分的RIP说"我很肯定，我们打了一场好比赛。尤其当第三节球队落後时，是我们 的努力使球队重拾领先优势。" The four Detroiters and Boston Celtic Paul Pierce played the last 3:13 of the third quarter together, outscoring the West, 8-3. 活塞四虎和来自波士顿塞尔提克的伪活塞小前锋包皮耳屎包了第三节的最後3分13秒， 并打出一波8比3的攻势。 That was the Pistons' second stint as a unit on Sunday. True to his word, Saunders subbed in his four starters as a group together. They entered the game with 3:38 left in the first quarter and the West up by six. 那是周日活塞第二度以团队的身分登场。如同老桑教练先前预告的，他让四名子弟兵 於第一节剩下3分38秒，西区领先6分时一同替补上场。 To that point, the game had followed the typical All-Star script. The game's marquee names hot-dogged their way to alley-oops, open jump shots and fast breaks. 之前，比赛还维持着传统的全明星赛风格，空中接力灌篮、不设防的跳投及快攻充斥 比赛之中。 But the pace slowed immediately as the Pistons entered and brought with them something rarely seen in the All-Star game. 但活塞球员上场後，球赛攻守转换的速度马上就变慢了，他们带给球迷一些以往在明 星赛很少见的东西。 Didn't they get the memo? No one plays defense in the All-Star game, do they? 他们看过明星赛攻守守则乎？全明星赛是不防守的啊，他们真的看过？ "With us, we only know one way to play," said Billups, who had 15 points and seven assists off the bench. "We're going to play hard. We're playing to win, period." 从板凳席出发，取得15分并送出7助攻的枪蜥说"我们只知道一种打球的方法，那就是 使尽全力求胜，没了。" The Pistons did. And by the time the first quarter ended, the score was tied, 28-28. 活塞球员们也确实这麽做了，第一节结束时，他们将比分追平，28比28平手。 Saunders went back to his team late in the third quarter, and stuck with them to start the pivotal fourth, too. Ben Wallace had back-to-back blocks during that stretch and finished with eight rebounds. 老桑在第三节末再度将他的子弟兵派上场，并让他们待到关键的第四节开始为止。班 蛙在这一段时间内连续赏了炮枷锁2个火锅，全场并抓下8个篮板。 And when Billups went to the free-throw line with less than a minute into the fourth, he tied the game at 97. That prompted Cleveland forward LeBron James to shout from the bench, "It's a game, boys!" 而且第四节开始不到一分钟，当枪蜥於罚球线上得手後，双方比赛再度以97比97打平 。那让坐在板凳上，克里夫兰骑士队的LBJ忍不住大声叫了出来"干得好，宝贝！" James finished with 29 points and at 21 years old became the youngest to win the game's MVP award. LBJ终场带着29分的成绩单以21岁又55天的超幼齿年纪写下最年轻获选明星赛MVP的NBA 纪录。 Only Rasheed Wallace, who finished with two points and eight rebounds, was on the floor at the end of the game. He missed a three-pointer in the last two minutes that might have clinched it for the East. 只有全场拿下2分、8篮板的溪蛙在比赛结束前还待在场上。他在距离终场不到2分钟前 有一次三分出手，很可惜没进，不然东区大概就可以提早买单了。 But then, with the East hanging onto a two-point lead, he swiped a game-sealing loose ball in the final seconds. 不过还好他在最後东区还领先2分的关键时刻将功赎罪，抄到小飞侠Kobe手上的球。 What could be more perfect, a Piston making a defensive play to end the ultimate offensive showcase? 一个活塞球员以出色的防守功夫带走了这场各式得分花招大赛的胜利，还有比这更完 美的结局吗？ On and off the court, Detroit's stars had fun Sunday. 不管在场上或场下，活塞明星们都过了一个开心的周日。 Hamilton yelled his trademark, "Yessir!" from the bench each time an Eastern teammate scored. Rasheed Wallace chatted up the row of kids seated behind the East bench, much to their delight. Saunders took time to chuck a basketball into the crowd during a time-out in the fourth quarter. Billups stood and clapped each time his team inched ahead. 每当东区代表队得分时，坐在场边的RIP总会大声吼出他的注册商标"您真内行！"。溪 蛙整场比赛都和坐在东区板凳席後方的孩子们喇赛，逗得他们哈哈大笑地。老桑於第四节 暂停时抽空将篮球掷入观众群中，枪蜥则是在每一次东区取得领先时都高兴地拍手叫好。 And he soaked it all in, too. 而且他也完全沉醉其中。 "There were a couple of times when I was on that bench just looking around, and I was like, man," Billups said. "And I'm not really ever in awe. I never am. But I was just looking around sometimes, looking at the crowd, and I was like, wow, man. Wow. I remember watching that game last year in Denver in the last row of the lower bowl, and this year I'm sitting right there, my feet on that wood. It was just crazy." 枪蜥说"比赛中我有很多时间是待在板凳席上观战，而我真的很喜欢这样的感觉，老兄 。而我并不真的感到畏惧，我从不害怕什麽。我只是有时候环顾一下四周，看着疯狂投入 比赛的球迷们，我相当高兴，老兄。我记得去年在丹佛我是坐在接近碗底观众席的最後一 排观战，而今年我却能坐在这里，脚就踩在木板上，这真的很疯狂。" (译按：许多体育馆， 中间低而四周有座位，看起来像个碗似的。lower bowl就是指接近 「碗底」的数排座位。) -- GIVING PROPS TO PRINCE: Each of the Pistons' All-Stars wrote No. 22 on their sneakers before the game got under way. It was a nod to teammate Tayshaun Prince, who didn't make the team. Rasheed Wallace harbored a small case of jealousy over Prince, who spent his All-Star break in the Bahamas. 给小王子的贴心小礼物：入选全明星赛的活塞四虎在他们的球鞋上绣上了22号，以提 醒自己不要忘记未入选的队友 - 小王子。那是他们对於小王子的认同，虽然他今年并未入 选东区明星队，溪蛙小小地酸了一下他那留在巴哈马度过全明星周末的队友小王子。 "I am (jealous)," Wallace said. "Because I know he's somewhere about to watch the game tonight, probably got a couple of cocktails." 溪蛙说"我有点忌妒，因为我知道他今晚一定会在某个地方观看这场比赛，很有可能他 手上还会拿着一杯鸡尾酒。" Don't let 'Sheed fool you. He admitted it hasn't been all bad in Houston. 别这麽轻易就被溪蛙愚弄了，他承认其实在休士顿这几天有时候还挺有趣的。 "I enjoyed it because my wife enjoys it," Wallace said. "Just going to a couple of places, a couple of restaurants and relaxing with Ben and his wife and Chauncey's wife. We kind of made it a little couples' weekend." 溪蛙说"我老婆乐在其中，所以我也是。我们去逛了一些地方，吃了几间馆子，并且和 枪蜥、班蛙夫妇好好地放松了一下(6P？ 惊！！！)，我们这周末有点像是重温了刚结婚时 小夫妻的甜蜜时光。" -- 好东西要与好板友分享专区 翻这篇文章时 因为两本字典都查不到lower bowl是啥鬼 所以只好上网参拜股沟大神 意外发现了一个翻译外电时应该挺管用的网页 http://som.twbbs.org/klee/notebook/wwn/basketball_1.html 网址後面数字的部分可以由1~13任选一个填入 也就是说总共有13个网页 有兴趣的朋友可以慢慢看 :) --
