http://0rz.net/8e1r0 May 26, 2006 BY MITCH ALBOM FREE PRESS COLUMNIST The reason you want to move the ball around in basketball -- what the Pistons desperately wanted to do Thursday -- is that most of the time, it ends up in the right hands. 在篮球世界里，你得传球─如同活塞在周四那场比赛一直想作的─的理由是，大多数时候球 最後会到正确的手上。 Even if it's not the hands you think. 即使不是到了你原先设想的手上。 Ben Wallace has been chided for his hands in the past -- too small, they say, for a guy his size -- but his hands were hot for most of Game 2. And we're not just talking blocks and rebounds, his normal specialties. 班华勒斯过去以来一直因为与自己体型不相称的小手而被指责，但是在第二场比赛里他的手 表现非常抢眼；而且还不只是在他原本的责任阻攻与篮板上。 We're talking lay-ups. We're talking finger rolls. We're talking bounce passes. 我们谈的是上篮、挑篮、以及地板传球。 Bounce passes? 地板传球？ That's right. Like the one he made to Rip Hamilton for an easy lay-up. Or the whip pass he made to Antonio McDyess for a slam. 没错。就像他传给Hamilton轻松上篮那球，或者是给McDyess灌篮那记妙传。 Ben Wallace, point guard? 班华勒斯就像个控球後卫？ Why not? He was pretty much everything else early on Thursday, as the Pistons rode his energy to a big lead, then hung on -- at times, it seemed, by their fingertips -- to even this Eastern Conference finals series, one game apiece. 为什麽不是呢？周四的比赛他在各项表现都很杰出，让活塞藉由他的活跃取得相当领先，然 後支持下去─甚至有时候看来似乎很轻松─直到目前这场东区决赛两队各取得一场胜利。 What can Wallace do for you? 班华勒斯能为你做些什麽？ Well, Ben was the center, soaring for rebounds, grabbing some, keeping the others alive. 明白的说，班是中锋，飞抢篮板球，让其他球员继续发挥作用。 Ben was the free safety, intercepting a Dwyane Wade alley-oop pass to prevent a score. 班是不固定守哪个对手的自由保险球员，正如同阻止韦德在空中接传球灌篮那记。 Ben was the sacrificial lamb -- even taking elbows to his face from Shaquille O' Neal -- but drawing offensive fouls. 班就像是牺牲者，甚至当面吃下欧尼尔的手肘攻击，而引起进攻犯规。 Ben was the hustler chasing down a loose ball in the lane to save a possession. 班可以为了争抢没人持有的球而奋不顾身冲过去。 And I think he was selling popcorn at halftime. 我想在中场休息时间他甚至会去卖爆米花。 A great stats line 明显的统计数字 "We came out right tonight, our heads were in the game," said Wallace, who finished with nine points (on perfect field-goal shooting), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block. "I would like to see us finish the game the way we start- ed it." 「我们今晚状态不错，专心在球场上，」华勒斯说。他总共得了百分百命中率的九分，十二 个篮板球，三次助攻及一个火锅。「我要我们，正如同一开始一样，领先到最後。」 Yes, it's true, the Pistons nearly blew it at the end. They fell asleep on things like crossing the halfcourt line and bringing the ball inbounds. That's unforgivable. 没错，活塞差一点在最後让煮熟的鸭子飞了。当他们犯了错例如像是运球回过中线和将球传 入场内时，就像在睡眠状态。那是无法宽恕的错误。 But they wouldn't have been in the situation had the scoring not bogged down in the fourth quarter. And if you look at the tape, you'll see why. 但是如果他们的得分没有在第四节熄火，就不会陷入那种困境。若你看了比赛的带子就会明 白怎麽一回事。 After the Game 1 loss, the Pistons talked about their standing around, playing one on one basketball., getting away from the joie de vivre of fast passes and easy baskets. 在第一场的输球後，活塞谈论他们站在场上不移动，玩一对一，没有采用原本最拿手的迅速 妙传。 But after three decent quarters of avoiding that, they seemed to fall back into that habit again. At times in that fourth quarter, they looked like the French Foreign Legion dragging through the Sahara. 然而经过了没有之前错误的三节後，他们似乎又回到了那个坏习惯。在第四节里他们就像横 越撒哈拉沙漠的法国外籍军团。 How do you avoid that? Well, one of the ways is to get the ball into Ben's hands . Not necessarily as the final stop. But let him touch it, make the defenders have to at least get in the same zip code as him. 如何避免这种情形？一个方法是把球交到班的手中。不一定由他来得分，但是要让他碰球， 吸引对方防守球员靠近他。 "It weighs on their defense," Ben said. "We've got everybody involved. Now you' ve got to play honest and" not play "four against five. When I get involved in the offense, it forces the other team to keep a guy on me and not allow him to roam around. It opens up things for my teammates." 「会给对方防守造成压力，」班说。「我们让队里每个人都参与。现在你必须诚实而不是让 四个人打五个人。当我加入得分行列後，会迫使对方派一名球员盯我，而不是到处游走。那 给我的队友带来机会。」 It's five for one 这是支五人球队 So, OK, now it's a series. We can put away the sweep talk. We can put away Game 1 as a prototype. Thursday was a much different affair, with the Shaq-Wade com- bination doing what it does, but the rest of the Heat playing like, well, the rest of the Heat. 好。所以这是个系列赛。我们不要再提将对手扫地出局，我们可以把第一场的失败只当作一 个不好的开始。因为周四的第二场比赛中，热火队的侠客韦德连线与其他球员和平日发挥没 什麽不同，结果却不一样。 Now, it's not an accident that this game got close when the Pistons got away from the good ball movement of the first half. I'm not sure why this happens. Some of it is Miami's defense. But some of it is just a bad new habit that the Pistons have picked up this postseason. They need to lose it. 从活塞开始没有像前半场比赛把球好好传看来，让对手赶上似乎也不意外。我不确定这是如 何发生。一部分是迈阿密的防守，一部分是活塞在季後赛开始养成的坏习惯。他们必须改掉 它。 Look, this isn't rocket science. Four against five is never as good as five against five. And it seems to me when Ben is happy, the team is happy. So let him play hustler, free safety, point guard, shot blocker. Heck, if he wants to turn off the lights and lock the door on his way out, let him. The Pistons' heart beats louder when the Fro is fearsome, and the more he touches the ball, the more fearsome he becomes. 这不像是火箭科学。四打五不会比五打五来得好。而且看来似乎当班快乐时，全队也会快乐 起来。所以就让他横冲直撞吧，扮演自由保险球员，控球後卫，阻攻者。甚至如果他要出去时要 关灯锁门，就让他去吧。活塞的心脏跳得更强当爆炸头令人畏惧时，而且他碰球次数愈多， 他变得愈可怕。 Remember, as they say, idle hands are the devil's tools. 记住，就像他们说的，闲置的手是恶魔的工具。 And why help those Heat players? 况且何必给热火提供协助？ --
