CBA, not NBA. But he wasn’t so busy coaching the Rapid City Thrillers that he had no time for the NBA playoffs. So he remembers when the Pistons-Bulls rivalry reached its crescendo as the Bad Boys and Michael Jordan played out a thrust-and-parry course over four consecutive postseasons starting in 1988. 密西根奥本山讯 - 活塞在18年前赢得队史第一座NBA总冠军 - 老桑从大学校队助理教 练跳级成为职业球队总教练的那一年。是CBA，而不是NBA总教练。但他在带领湍急市颤栗 并没有忙到连注意NBA季後赛的时间都没有。所以他记得自'88年起连续四年由坏孩子和 Jordan领衔主演，你一拳、我一腿，越演越烈的活塞vs公牛经典战役。 “It was war – one word,” Saunders said Tuesday as the Pistons got back to work following a two-day break in the wake of their first-round sweep of Orlando with a second-round series against the Bulls ahead. “When they played, it was a competitive war. Both teams played really hard and with a great amount of energy and enthusiasm.” "一个字 - 那是场战争，"老桑在星期二说到，而活塞也在第一轮横扫奥兰多魔术後两 天回复练球，积极为第二轮与芝加哥公牛的系列赛备战。"当时他们的比赛是场势均力敌的 战役。因为两支球队都精力充沛、满腔热血，全心全力投入比赛之中。" It remains to be seen if the cores of these teams can stay together long enough in the salary-cap era to produce a rivalry of similar longevity, but there are certain obvious similarities. 两支球队的核心阵容在这个有团队薪资上限规定的年代能不能一直保持完整以造就一 段长度相当，如同史诗般的对决还很难说，但确实已经有很显着的共通点存在。 These Pistons, like the Bad Boys, are the big brother with the weightier resume . These Bulls, like Michael and the Jordanaires, are the pursuers. The challenge for Saunders and the Pistons will be to hold them off as adroitly as Chuck Daly and his troops did in eliminating the Bulls from the playoffs in three consecutive seasons before Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Phil Jackson broke through for the first of their six NBA titles in 1991. 这些活塞球员，就像当初的坏孩子，是一群阅历丰富的老大哥。而这些公牛球员，则 像当时的Jordan和Jordan帮，是尚未尝过滋味总冠军的追求者。老桑和活塞面临的挑战将 会是抵御他们的进逼，如同当时C.Daly和坏孩子在'91年Jordan、老皮和禅师终於突破拿下 六座总冠军中的第一座前连续三年季後赛送他们回家放暑假那样。 Chauncey Billups was 11 when the Pistons beat the Bulls in the 1988 playoffs and 14 by the time Chicago knocked off the two-time defending NBA champions in 1991, but his recollections reveal a future point guard’s ability to quickly and accurately size up a situation. 当'88年季後赛活塞痛宰公牛时枪蜥才11岁，而当'91年公牛击败两度卫冕总冠军的活 塞时他则是14岁，但他清晰的回忆透露了他拥有未来成为一个的杰出控卫所需具备迅速而 准确掌控局面能力的潜质。 “Physical battles – just seemed like they didn’t like each other,” Billups smiled. “I always liked Joe and Isiah and my cousin always like Jordan, so I always wanted Detroit to win. Not because I didn’t like Jordan, but I liked the underdog – which I thought the Pistons were because everybody loved Jordan .” "激烈的身体对抗 - 感觉起来好像他们双方是死对头一样，"枪蜥笑着说。"我总是喜 欢老乔和笑笑汤而我的表弟总是支持Jordan，所以我总是希望活塞能够获胜。并不是因为 我不喜欢Jordan，但我更乐於支持处於劣势的一方 - 活塞，因为我认为每个人都爱Jordan 。" The current incarnation of the Bulls has no transcendent star like His Airness. In fact, they’re more like the current Pistons team than the old Bulls. 当前这支公牛没有一个像他拥有出色跳跃能力的超级巨星。事实上，比起过去那支公 牛，他们与现在这支活塞的相似度还高出许多。 “We’re very similar in some areas,” Saunders said. “Our perimeters: They have a long (small forward) in (Luol) Deng and that’s what we have (in Tayshaun Prince). Both (shooting guards, Rip Hamilton and Ben Gordon) are from UConn and both can score. And the point guards (Chauncey Billups and Kirk Hinrich) are two guys that played in the Big 12 and both have the ability to defend and both can shoot from the perimeter.” "我们在某些方面非常类似，"老桑说。"我们的外线球员：他们有优秀的小前锋卤蛋， 而我们也有小王子。双方的得分後卫RIP和狗蛋都来自於康乃迪克而且也都能得分。而控卫 枪蜥和K.Hinrich都是出身於大12联盟的球员，而且两个人都有不错的防守和外线能力。" There’s also the shared history both teams have with Ben Wallace, of course, which figures to remain a storyline at least up until tipoff of Game 1 at The Palace – sometime over the weekend, most likely, but not pinned down until the fate of other first-round series comes more sharply into focus. 当然两队共同的历史渊源还有班蛙，可以想像的是至少在宫殿球场的第一场比赛前这 个话题都还不会间断 - 甚至还很可能一直延烧至周末，除非其他第一轮赛事的对战出现了 出乎意料之外的结果，进而吸引了众人的目光。 “When you have a series when a guy who’s been here and had been the face of the franchise and he leaves and goes somewhere else and now they play each other, you couldn’t write it any better,” Saunders said. "一个曾经待在这里而且曾经是球队的指标性人物，他离开後率领新东家回来踢馆，还 有什麽比这更吸引人、更洒狗血的写作题材吗？"老桑说。 One other prominent storyline beyond the revival of an old rivalry and the reunion of Ben Wallace with his former teammates will be the effects of an unusually long layoff for both teams. The Pistons, who clinched at Orlando on Saturday, will have been off for at least a week; the Bulls swept Miami on Sunday. 这个系列赛除了是经典战役重现及班蛙和他的前队友再次碰面外，另一个引人注意的话 题是不寻常的长时间休息会对两支球队产生什麽样的影响。在星期六横扫奥兰多魔术的活 塞至少可以获得一个星期的休息时间；公牛不落人後，也在星期天直落四送迈阿密热火回 家度假。 “The only good thing,” Billups said, “is both of us have a week off, so I’m not worried about it.” "这是唯一一个好消息，"枪蜥说，"是我们都拥有一个星期的休息，所以我并不担心。 " Everybody was back at practice for the Pistons on Tuesday, though Rip Hamilton left early after getting hit in the eye with a basketball. The injury was not serious. 活塞的每一个球员在星期二都归队参加练习，不过RIP因为眼睛被篮球砸伤而提前离开 ，还好经检查後发现伤势并不严重。 --
