原文出处： http://0rz.net/8b1er -- AUBURN HILLS -- Don't call it a slump; call it the calm before the storm. 不要认为那是疲软的表现，你应该把它当作暴风雨前的宁静看待。 Richard Hamilton, over the last 11 games, has scored 20 or more points just once. He is averaging 16 points during that stretch, five under his season average. 过去11场比赛RIP只有一场比赛得分超过20分，这段时间内他平均得分只有16分，这数 据比他本季平均得分低了有5分之多。 "I am in a great rhythm," he said before the game against Cleveland on Wednesday. "I feel great. It really doesn't matter to me now (how much he scores), because I know the playoffs is a whole different game. That playoff run is tough." 他在星期三对上克里夫兰的比赛前表示"我照着自己的步调在走，而且感觉很好，现在 对我来说得多少分并不重要，因为我知道季後赛是完全不一样的比赛，那比起例行赛可是 激烈得多。" What Hamilton is doing, essentially, is tapering for the playoffs. RIP正在做的，基本上就是在为季後赛做准备。 "Every year, if you look, I've done pretty much the same thing," he said. "I know the last two seasons how I felt after that last (playoff) game. It's important for me to pace myself in a way that I can be ready. The way we are playing now, there's no need for me to go out and get 30 points. 他说"每一年，如果你有注意观察，我所做的其实都差不多。我知道过去两季当最後一 场季後赛结束时自己有什麽感觉，对我来说把自己的状态调整到随时能面对竞争激烈的季 後赛是很重要的一件事。而现在球队打球的方式，并不需要我每个晚上都上场去拿个30分 。" "If they need me to defend, or to get other guys involved and get guys' confidence up, that's what I am going to do. I know once those playoffs start I might have to play 40-plus minutes. And that's when I want to play those minutes." "如果球队需要我帮忙防守，或让其他队友能融入比赛之中并帮助他们提升自信心，那 就是我正在做的事。我知道一旦季後赛开始，我可能每场比赛都得上场超过40分钟，而那 (在季後赛有很多上场时间)正是我希望的。" Hamilton has been extremely productive in the other areas. He has been so effective defensively that he is sure to get some consideration for the all-defensive teams. He has been distributing the ball effectively of late as well. RIP在其他面向已经有相当有效率的表现，他出色的防守会让他成为联盟遴选最佳防守 队伍时的考虑人选之一，而他最近在分球方面的表现也一样优异。 "The last couple of games, our best mismatch has been with Tayshaun (Prince)," coach Flip Saunders said. 老桑教练说"最近几场比赛，我们最明显的优势是在小王子这一点。" "It says something about Rip that if he sees a better matchup for somebody else , he's not going to force a lot of action. I like the fact that his assists are up and he's looking for people. "那为RIP最近得分下降做了最佳注解，如果他看到有优势的对战组合，他会毫不犹豫 将球传给该队友去做进攻。我喜欢他因为这样而增加的助攻数以及他寻求队友的方式(因为 这样对手势必得协防，其他队友就能清出更多空间出手)。" (以上两段感谢kolay和sssfrost的指教) "I like what he's been doing. He's not in that mode where he feels he has to go out and get 30 or 40 points." "我喜欢他最近打球的方式，他现在在场上不会只专注於得分。" -- Zoned up 开始使用区域联防 The Pistons still don't exactly love playing zone defense. But they have slowly come to accept it as another effective tool in stopping teams from scoring. 活塞仍不是相当喜欢使用区域联防，但他们已经渐渐接受了，并把它当成阻止对手得 分的利器。 "I think they are finding out that it might be a change of pace that can help you win," Saunders said. 老桑说"我认为他们正认识到也许换个口味对球队赢球也很有帮助。" Especially playing against an individual as skilled as LeBron James . 尤其是对付像LBJ这种个人进攻技巧出色的球员时。 "When you feel like you are on an island covering LeBron James, and you look around and nobody's around, that's a scary feeling," Saunders said. 老桑说"当你像座孤城面临LBJ的强力挑战时，你环顾四周却完全没有一个队友在身边 ，那感觉肯定令你提心吊胆。" The Pistons have played much more zone and deployed more full-court traps the last four or five games, and they will continue to do so for the remainder of the regular season. 在过去四到五场比赛活塞已经使用越来越多的区域联防以及全场陷阱式防守，而他们 在例行赛剩下这几场比赛也将持续这麽做。 "We going to continue working on those things to make sure we have a full arsenal of weapons heading into the playoffs," Saunders said. 老桑说"我们会持续厉兵秣马以确保我们能带着足够的弹药进入枪林弹雨的季後赛。" -- In the bonus 附带一提 Once the Pistons clinch the overall best record and home-court advantage throughout the playoffs (the magic number was two entering the game), Saunders said he planned to activate rookies Amir Johnson and Alex Acker in at least or two of the remaining games. 一旦活塞确定获得全联盟最佳战绩及季後赛所有的主场优势後(封王的魔术数字在这场 面对暴龙的比赛前还剩下2)，老桑表示他计画最後一、两场比赛会激活菜鸟球员A.Johnson 和A.Acker，让他们有机会上场磨练磨练。 --
