原文出处： http://0rz.net/601ah -- The Pistons' first loss of the season, a 37-point shellacking by the Dallas Mavericks last November, happened so long ago that you'd think it was erased from their memory bank later that month. 活塞本季第一败，去年11月以37分的极大差距兵败达拉斯输给小牛那场比赛，已经是很 久以前发生的事了，也许你会认为那场败仗在该月末期就已经从他们的记忆库里删除。 In some ways it probably was. 就某方面来说，也许是的。 "But you do remember that," reserve guard Lindsey Hunter said Monday. "They had a lights-out shooting day. Everybody that played, I think, scored. Some games like that happen. Teams get on rolls like that; sometimes we get on rolls like that." 替补後卫猎人大叔於星期一说道"不过你必须记得那件事，他们那天遍地开花，每个人 都玩开了，我的意思是，他们每个人只要有上场都有得分。也许一些球赛就是如此，敌队 阵中每个球员手感都热得发烫，而相反地，有时我们全队也是会有怎麽投怎麽进，那种篮 框大得跟海一样的fju。" The Pistons would welcome such a roll tonight, especially with those same Mavericks in town and the Mavs and Spurs in hot pursuit of Detroit for the NBA's best record. 活塞今晚的比赛会很欢迎那种全队每个球员都有如战神附身的情形，尤其是在主场面 对同一支小牛，且小牛和马刺正强烈威胁活塞寻求本季全NBA最佳战绩的情况下。 Asked whether that 119-82 loss at Dallas on Nov. 19 would have any lingering effects, Rasheed Wallace couldn't decide. 被问及球队是否仍受到11月在达拉斯以82比119大败的影响，溪蛙无法很肯定回答有或 没有。 "Yes and no," he said. "I say that because it was an embarrassing loss, but on the other hand, we still have to do the things we have to do to win." 他说"也许有，也许没有。我这麽说是因为那是场令人困窘的败战，不过换个方向想， 我们仍须做到我们该做到的，尽力求胜。" Like making more cuts to the basket instead of living by the three-pointer. The Pistons connected on only three of 17 treys in Sunday night's 79-74 loss to New Jersey. 例如更努力强攻禁区，而不是像个三分射手只在三分线外出手。活塞在星期天晚上以 74比79输给新泽西篮网那场比赛中，三分球投17只中3，一整个糟。 The Pistons will have their hands full with the likes of Dirk Nowitzki, whom Pistons coach Flip Saunders called one of the best 7-foot shooters to ever play the game and one of the league's toughest matchups. 活塞全员将让他们的手感和被老桑教练认为是有史以来最佳的7尺球员兼联盟最难防守 的球员之一的Dirk一样火热。 But the Pistons also will face a tough defensive team, something that couldn't be said in years past about Dallas. Saunders credited Avery Johnson for that turnaround. 不过活塞将面对的也是一支拥有坚强防守功夫的球队，现在小牛的防守已经不能和过 去几年那种纸糊的防守相提并论了，老桑对於小将军A.Johnson让小牛防守功夫level up的 转变可是赞誉有加。 The Pistons and Mavs rank third and sixth in fewest points allowed. Dallas also is the fourth-best rebounding team. 活塞和小牛分别在失分最低排行榜上名列第三及第六，小牛同时也是联盟单场平均篮 板数第四多的球队。 "Avery's done a good job and made a conscious effort of knowing that you can win games in the regular season because of your offense," Saunders said, "but your defense is going to keep you in games or help you win." 老桑说"小将军带小牛带得很好，并且让他们清楚知道，凭着过人的进攻火力在例行赛 还可以赢球，但到了贴身肉搏、真枪实弹的季後赛，只有强硬的防守功夫才能帮助你维持 竞争力或甚至帮你赢得比赛的胜利。" It's one reason Saunders said the Mavs could have a successful run in the playoffs. 老桑表示今年也许就是小牛能在季後赛扬蹄狂奔的一年。 If the Pistons don't beat the Mavs tonight and they somehow end up tied for the top record, the Mavs would own the first tiebreaker to determine home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. 如果活塞今晚无法击败小牛，而在例行赛结束时战绩和小牛并列联盟最佳，那小牛在 比较对战成绩後将握有季後赛全部的主场优势。 -- RETURN TRIP? Orlando forward Grant Hill told the Chicago Tribune that he had pondered a possible return to the Pistons. Hill won't play the rest of the season after complications from a sports hernia. The Tribune reported that the Magic could buyout the final year on his contract. Hill, of course, likely would have to settle for a reserve roll if he returned to Detroit. "Getting Grant Hill coming off the bench for Tayshaun (Prince)," Hunter said, "would be something." 归途？ 奥兰多魔术的前锋G.Hill告诉芝加哥论坛报，他已经在考虑回锅活塞的可能性 。Hill在运动疝气引发并发症後，本季剩下的比赛通通不会上场。据论坛报报导指出，魔 术可能会买断Hill最後一年的合约。当然啦，Hill如果回到活塞阵中将以替补球员的身分 出赛。猎人说"能有Hill在板凳上成为小王子的替补，对球队而言肯定具有加分作用。" --
