http://0rz.net/921oh Team uses off day to rest, watch film and loosen up They left the Palace on Tuesday night trailing in the series and behind in their rest. On Wednesday, the Pistons caught up the only way they could. 活塞队在周二落败离开主场体育馆休息。周三，他们选择唯一能作的。 Coach Flip Saunders granted his veteran team the day off from practice, choos- ing instead to prepare for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Miami Heat with what he called an "extended film session." 教练Flip Saunders给他老练的队伍一天休息不练球，以所谓的「延长影片观摩会」来准 备对热火的第二场比赛。 After a seven-game saga with the Cleveland Cavaliers that may have sapped more energy than anyone realized, the Pistons' legs appeared weary Tuesday in a 91- 86 loss. Their minds might have been, too. 经过对克里夫兰骑士漫长又极耗体力的七战後，活塞在周二显得无精打采，以91-86落败 。 Taking Wednesday off "was more mental than anything else," Saunders said. "The fact of the matter is we put ourselves in that situation. Those were tough games (against Cleveland). We had guys play a lot of minutes. That's a fact. 「休兵是为了养精蓄锐，」Saunders说。「因为事实上我们之前经过了7场比赛。」 "We're trying to get our guys mentally sharp." 我们试着让自己保持精神饱满。 The rematch with the Heat, anticipated since the Pistons ended Miami's season last year in the Eastern finals, is already at a critical stage. If Detroit doesn't win at the Palace tonight, it must take four of five games -- with three on the road -- to advance to the NBA Finals for a third straight season. 这场从去年热火被淘汰後就受期待的比赛已经进入白热化。如果活塞今晚无法在主场取得 胜利，它就必须在剩下五场比赛中赢得四场(其中有三场还是在客场)才能连续第三年进入 总冠军战。 On Wednesday, the Pistons projected the easy confidence that has become their collective persona. They did not speak in grave terms about a team-wide urgen- cy -- which could be taken in one of two ways. 活塞全队在周三显示出一种轻松的信心；他们并未说有关比赛紧急的重话，因为那可能会 被错误解读。 "Guys understand it's a seven-game series," said guard Richard Hamilton, when asked about the team's mood. "Sometimes that hurts us. We know it's a seven- game series." 「大家知道这是场七战系列的比赛，」後卫汉弥尔顿说，当被问到全队的士气时。「有时 那让我们觉得很苦。然而我们知道会有七场比赛。」 Detroit has not swept a best-of-seven series since eliminating the Riley- Kareem-Magic Lakers in the 1989 Finals. The Pistons' current predicament, though, is somewhat unfamiliar. They have not opened a playoff series with a home loss since 2003, Rick Carlisle's last as head coach. 底特律自从在1989年的冠军战将湖人队横扫後，至今还没有将对手在7战4胜制中以4比0打 败。活塞目前的难题是处於不熟悉的情况；因为自从2003年(Rick Carlisle最後当教练的 一年)後从未第一战而且是主场就输球。 It happened twice that year. Orlando took leads of 1-0 and 3-1 in the first round before the Pistons rallied with three victories. But in the Eastern finals, the New Jersey Nets opened with two victories in Auburn Hills and swept the Pistons. 那一年这样的情形发生两次。首先是奥兰多魔术队在第一轮曾经以1比0及3比1取得系列赛 的领先，但是随後活塞一鼓作气胜了三场。然而在东区冠军赛纽泽西篮网一开始就取得2 比0领先然後横扫活塞。 In both instances, the Game 2 victor won the series. 在两个例子中，第二场赢球的人最後是赢家。 The Pistons talked about staying relaxed, their trademark manner. 活塞全队上下说着要保持轻松，那是他们一贯的方式。 "We've got to get back to having more fun on the floor," said Hamilton, who led the Pistons with 22 points in Game 1 but went only 9-for-22. "A lot of times, when we're great, we're smiling, laughing, having a good time. 「我们最重要的是找回在球场上的欢乐，」Hamilton说，他在第一战得了全队最高的22分 ，但是命中率只有投22中9。「很多次当我们快乐的打球，我们就会表现的很好。」 "Right now, it's not like that. We're fighting for everything." 「但是现在不像那个样子了。我们像是很拼命似地。」 Miami was a wounded team last year, as superstars Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade were slowed by injuries. This year, Detroit is hobbling after Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace suffered ankle injuries. Wallace, who averaged 15.1 points per game during the regular season, has scored 13 or fewer in five of his past six games. He shot 3-for-10 from the field in 32 minutes in Game 1, uncharac- teristic enough for Saunders to say, "He was not Rasheed (Tuesday) night." 迈阿密去年是支受伤的球队，随着巨星欧尼尔与韦德的受伤。今年底特律在汉弥尔顿及拉 希华勒斯因脚踝伤痛所苦後，全队也步履蹒跚的前进。在例行正规赛平均每场15.1分的拉 西华勒斯在过去6场中的5场都只得了13分以下。在对热火的第一场比赛中，他出场了32分 钟，却只交出投10中3的成绩，无怪乎教练桑德斯会说「他不像是拉西了。」 Wallace kept a low profile Tuesday, addressing the media for a few minutes as he poked out of the Pistons' locker room. He offered no guarantees. He avoided bold pronouncements. 华勒斯在周二赛後很低调，在迅速走出活塞更衣室时简短的跟媒体说了几句；没有保证， 不作出任何大胆的宣布。 "We're not worried," he said. "We're not going to stay in this funk forever." 「我们并不会担心，」他说。「我们不会一直处於这种低潮。」 Wallace reported that his ankle is "75 to 80%." Asked if the Pistons can win with Wallace in that state, Saunders responded with praise for reserve forward Antonio McDyess. 华勒斯告诉大家他的脚踝目前是百分之75至80的状态。在被问到活塞能否在华勒斯这样的 伤势下赢球，桑德斯以对替补前锋Antonio McDyess的嘉许来回应。 "The one guy that played pretty well (Tuesday) was McDyess," Saunders said. " We're going to probably start trying to ride him a little more, and use 'Sheed in certain situations." 「那个周二比赛表现相当好的是McDyess，」桑德斯说。「我们可能要开始重用他，只有 在某些情况下才让Rasheed上场。」 The situation, of course, demands all available Pistons personnel to be at their springtime best. 当然这需要所有处於战斗状态的活塞队员维持最佳体能。 --
