原文出处： http://0rz.net/821dj -- PHILADELPHIA -- Ben Wallace's presence is such that, when he's feeling something, whether he verbalizes it or not, the rest of his teammates feel it, too. 费城讯 -- 班蛙的存在对於球队的影响可以这麽描述，当他有一些感觉，不管他是否 以言语具体地说出口，其他的队友都能感受得到。 "He's kind of like our barometer," coach Flip Saunders said. 老桑教练说"他有点像是球队的晴雨计。" Thus, when Wallace was bitterly disappointed when the Pistons' defense went soft though the first couple of weeks of this month, he didn't have to say a word. 例如，虽然班蛙对於球队松散、软弱的防守感到大失所望，三月份前面这几个礼拜他 对此还是只字不提。 His silence, coupled with his hell-bent play in practice and in the subsequent games, was enough to rekindle the Pistons' defensive fire. 他的沉默和他在练习时及最近这几场比赛中不顾一切似的拼战精神，已足以再次重燃 活塞球员心中对於防守的那一把热情的火。 "We said some stuff," Wallace said. "We talked a little bit. We knew we had stopped doing what we had done early in the year. The guys made a conscious effort to get back to making teams take tough shots. 班蛙说"我们做了一些讨论，也知道球队必须停止年初迄今这段时间荒腔走板的表现。 我们已经了解到我们必须努力将球队过去那种滴水不漏的防守给找回来，让对手没办法轻 易投篮得分。" "That's how we win games, man. Whenever we come out and try to outscore teams, we struggle. We put ourselves in a dogfight that we don't necessarily need to be in." "坚强的防守是我们赢球的基础，老兄。不管什麽时候我们上场比赛想要用强势的得分 击败对手，都像是自找麻烦般将自己置身於根本没必要的大混战当中。" After giving up an average of more than 100 points over a seven-game stretch, the Pistons' defense has again gone into lock-down mode. They have allowed an average of just 78 over the five games before Wednesday's 101-91 victory at Philadelphia. The Pistons kept Miami, Indiana and New Jersey all under 80 points. 在结束了让对手平均得分破百的七场比赛之後，活塞的防守终於再一次回复固若金汤 的水准。他们在星期三於费城以101比91打败七六人那场比赛前的五场比赛平均只让对手拿 下78分，并把迈阿密热火、印地安那溜马和纽泽西篮网的得分都压低在80分以下。 Even more impressive has been the Pistons' efforts in the second halves. They limited the Mavericks, Nets, Pacers and Heat to an average of 36.7 points in the second half. Wallace had 11 rebounds and three steals against the 76ers. 不过更让人印象深刻的是活塞在那几场比赛下半场压制对手得分的功力，他们让小牛 、篮网、溜马和热火在下半场平均只攻下36.7分。班蛙在活塞打败七六人的那场比赛中拿 到11个篮板和3次抄截。 "Ben is our energy," Saunders said. "I would be amazed if he wasn't the defensive player of the year again just from everything he does. He's our lock-down guy. When we have energy, we are tough to beat and tough to score on. When we don't, we can be pretty ordinary. And Ben is usually the catalyst for that energy." 老桑说"班蛙是球队的能量来源，以他的所做的大大小小事情看来，如果他没办法再次 获得年度最佳防守球员的奖项，我会相当惊讶。他是我们球队的防守大将，当我们有充沛 的活力时，我们是难以击败的，对手也没办法轻易在我们的防守之下取分；反之，我们不 过是支再普通不过的球队，而班蛙通常扮演着活力触媒的脚色。" Earlier in the season, when the Pistons were compiling a 37-5 record, Wallace warned that the team was showing signs of losing its edge. This time, he held his tongue and let his actions speak. He had four steals and three blocks against Atlanta. Three steals and a game-saving block at Indiana. He had five blocks against New Jersey. 季初当活塞缔造37胜5败的优异战绩时，班蛙就提出警告说球队正逐渐展现出疲态。这 一次他决定用具体的行动来代替对球队散漫的防守态度的批评。他在对上亚特兰大老鹰的 比赛中有4次抄截、3次阻攻的成绩，对上溜马的比赛中则有3次抄截及封掉D.Granger的再 见火锅，而对上篮网的比赛，活塞虽然输球，但班蛙依然有5次阻攻的优异表现。 Against Dallas, he shut down Dirk Nowitzki, holding him to one basket in the final seven minutes of the game. 与小牛的比赛中，班蛙压制Dirk让他在比赛最後七分钟内只抢到一个篮板。 "It's just more fun when we play defense," he said. "We get stops and force turnovers and that leads to easy baskets for everybody in transition. That's what we established earlier in the year. They say what you establish early you can go back to. We're just trying to get back to playing that good Pistons defense." 他说"球队加强防守的时候比赛变得有趣多了，我们能中止对手的进攻、迫使对手发生 失误，藉此让每个人在攻守转换时获得轻松得分的机会。那是我们季初展现的球风，有人 说如果你以前有能力做到那样，那现在只要你有心，一样可以拿出同样的表现。我们现在 不过是试图找回活塞式的防守风格罢了。" -- Hall of fame? 名人堂？ This year, Pistons president Joe Dumars isn't holding his breath. 今年，活塞总管J.Dumars不会再屏息以待。 For the second year in a row, he has been nominated for enshrinement in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Last year, he was led to believe he would be getting in and it didn't happen. 今年是他连续第二年被提名为进入奈史密斯篮球名人堂的人选之一。去年，普遍认为 他会顺利被选入名人堂，但事情并未如大家所预期般地发生。 This year? 今年？ "I had to ask my wife when they were making the announcement," he said. "I had to re-read the letter." 他说"当他们宣布入选名单时，我必须请我老婆去查榜单看，然後我自己再看一次。" The announcement is scheduled to come Monday. 今年的入选名单预计会在星期一公布。 -- Coatesville, Pa. 宾州寇特斯弗利 Richard Hamilton was busy trying to line up tickets before the game. As usual, he expected a large contingent from his hometown, Coatesville, just a few miles outside of Philadelphia. RIP赛前试图去排队买票，和往常一样，他期待有一大群来自寇特斯弗利的乡亲到场欣 赏自己的比赛。(寇特斯弗利距离费城不过几哩远) "I have to come up with a couple hundred tickets," he said. "I don't pay for them now, though. I don't do that any more." 他说"我必须生出好几百张票，尽管我现在不需要立即付费，但我不再需要这麽做了。 "(译按：小温猜说RIP不用再花钱买票请老乡们看球了，因为他们现在会自己买票进场) Hamilton has averaged better than 20 points against his hometown team. In the two games this year, he had averaged 33 points. RIP在与他家乡的七六人队比赛时平均超过20分，今年交手的两场他平均得到33分。 "I just love playing here against the team I grew up watching," he said. "It's always something I look forward to." 他说"我热爱和我从小看到大的那支球队比赛，从小我就是看着他们打球，然後梦想着 以後我也能进入NBA。" -- In the bonus 附带一提 Attention area coaches -- the Pistons-Shock Coaches Clinic will take place tonight at The Palace, beginning at 7 p.m. 注意！教练亲自教你打球的活动要开始罗 -- 活塞和震动队的教练们今晚7点将亲临宫 殿球场，传授各位总教练的小撇步和篮球哲学。 Both Saunders and Shock coach Bill Laimbeer will direct the clinic.
