Updated: May 13, 2007 Laughs at Second City: Pistons chuckle at Game 4 loss By Chris Sheridan ESPN.com 活塞在吞下败仗後笑咍咍?! CHICAGO -- Not only were the Detroit Pistons able to shrug this one off, a coup le of them were able to laugh it off. 赛後居然有两个人耸耸肩膀、一笑置之。 Richard Hamilton and Antonio McDyess both emitted, a kind of "you gotta be kidd ing me" laugh, when I asked them in the locker room after Game 4 whether they w ere now worried about the Chicago Bulls. 当我Game4赛後在球员休息室访问他们是否因这场败仗开始担心公牛大逆袭时 发出那机杯笑声的两人就是Rip跟Dice 那种笑声彷佛就是 "你豪洨~~我知道~~嘿嘿嘿"。 "Worried? No. we're going back to our home," McDyess said following Detroit's 1 02-87 loss. "Why worry? We just feel we let one get away from us. We didn't pla y with the aggressiveness and intensity that we normally play with, and the who le second half we played like: 'OK, we're down, but we know we can come back.' You can't do that." "烦恼? 才不咧，我们要回到老家。"Dice在以102-87输给公牛後说道 "为什麽要烦恼呢? 只是觉得本来该拿下这系列战的胜利、却彷佛长了脚溜走罢了~ 我们没有打出平常有的积极态度跟企图心，而且整个下半场打得'好吧~大势已去了。但我 们还是结束得了这系列战' 这态度不对啦~~~不该降的 " Let's face it: the Pistons wouldn't be the Pistons without a game like this. Fo r the past two or three seasons now they've been the quintessential flip-a-swit ch team, a group who can take their game to another level when circumstances di ctate. 面对现实吧，这场比赛活塞都不活塞了。在过去的这两、三季，他们已经进化成老桑旗下 的完全体了，那是一支当老桑下达命令时就会立刻超进化的劲旅。 "We do have a second gear -- everyone knows that," Chauncey Billups said. "大家都知道，我们确实有备胎。" 枪B说 And that second gear was in evidence early in the fourth quarter after the Bull s appeared to have this game safely wrapped up. 而从公牛在第四节早早就看似胜券在握的样子，很明显的看出这个备胎。 The Bulls had their fourth and fifth turnovers of the final quarter within 15 s econds of each other just after the clock ticked inside of four minutes, and th e anxiety in the building was as palpable as it had been three nights earlier. The Pistons had pulled from 21 down at the start of the quarter to 87-80, and t he Pistons were coming down the court with a chance to make it even closer befo re Kirk Hinrich established defensive position on the perimeter and drew an off ensive foul on Billups. Q4时，公牛在15秒内得到他们的第4、5次失误。他们开始慌了，似乎有种不过就发生在几 天前的噩梦即将要重播的feel。活塞开始逆袭，从落後21分追到87-80。但一切逆袭就中止在 那球Hinrich成功造成枪B进攻犯规的play。 The Bulls got the ball back, and when Richard Hamilton blew a defensive assignm ent ("blew" was Flip Saunders' word, not mine) on Ben Gordon and left him open at the 3-point line, Gordon drilled the jumper to stop the bleeding. 牛儿拿回了球权，Rip居然放给Gordon一个三分大空档。Gordon的这个三分球适时帮牛儿为 这波逆袭止血。 Saunders' ensuing Hack-a-Ben strategy resulted in Ben Wallace calmly knocking d own three of four foul shots, and that was it: No sweep, no week-to-10 days off before the next game, no chance for the Pistons to spend a lazy Tuesday night watching the Jazz-Warriors game from the comfort of their own couches while sho oting text message barbs at Big Ben. Instead, they'll have to take another shot at finishing this thing off. 老桑打出骇班卡，但班蛙冷静的罚进3-4。於是乎，如我们所见。没有sweep，也没有10天 长假可放，也没办法老神哉哉去观看爵士打勇士了。骇班失败的後果可想见的是，他们必 须更辛苦得追分。 "The overall energy and urgency was a factor," Saunders said, "and when we coul dn't get it below seven [points], we weren't able to put enough pressure on the m to see how they'd react. "我想跟活力与感受的压力有关吧"老桑说 "我们没办法追近这仅仅7分之差，也让我们对他们施加的压力不足以测试他们能不能承受 我们的防守。" "We've got to play the way we're supposed to, and tonight we were out of charac ter," Saunders said. "Both teams have gotten beat, so now we have a series." "我们本应打出我们该有的水准，但 今天脱序演出了。" 老桑说 "我们彼此都被彼此击败过，所以现在我们仍然得继续打这系列战。" A series, eh, Flip? 系列战? (怎麽翻啊...> <) Even though no team in NBA history has ever come all the way back from a 3-0 de ficit? Even though teams down 3-1 have an all-time postseason record of 8-162? Even when the Bulls showed themselves incapable of keeping Games 1 and 2 close in Detroit? NBA史上从来没有球队能够从3:0的劣势重新扳回优势而晋级。过去的历史纪录显示出，即 使是3-1的情况被大逆转也仅仅是凤毛麟角，162次只有8次而已。尤其是公牛在Game1、Game2 在底特律已经让大家看到他们在底特律时表现会是怎样。 Well, since there is a Game 5, we'll let Saunders have his point. 屙屙~~~总之在Game5，我们会看到老桑要打出什麽牌的。 But the bigger point is this: The Pistons are their own worst enemy. 但最重要的一点是，活塞最大的敌人是自己啊!!! ( ……LBJ恐惧斗室吗?) The Pistons have said all season they want to get away from the flip-a-switch m entality that contributed to their undoing last year, when they relaxed so much after going up 2-0 on the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round that they lo st their next three. Yes, they recovered to win that series, but it took so muc h out of them that they didn't have a lot left in the tank for the Miami Heat i n the conference finals. 活塞整季一直说，他们想透过老桑的超进化完全体心理建设来摆脱去年的阴影….当他们去 年在2-0的领先後表现的太悠哉，以致於被LBJ连追三场被逼到穷途末路的冏样。是的，他 们最後确实赢回那系列战。但他们浪费太多不必要浪费的体力，以至於在东区总冠军时被 热火重度灼伤。 "Yeah, that's true, but believe me, we're going to learn from our mistakes in t his one" McDyess said. "We know we should have played like we normally play, bu t we didn't. We'll talk about that, and we know what we need to do. We can't gi ve them no life." "ㄜㄏㄏ~~~那倒是真的。但相信我，同样的错误我们不会犯两次的!!"Dice说 "我们知道我们应该打得就像平常我们的水准一样，但我们却没做到。我们将会好好讨论一 下到底出了怎麽一回事，我们知道那是我们该做的。我们不会让这系列战继续下去的。" As for the Bulls, everyone -- with the possible exception of Andres Nocioni -- showed that there is indeed a pulse inside that beats harder under pressure, a pulse that kept beating just strong enough when this one was on the verge of ge tting away. 每只牛都知道，Nacioni打得就好像在这压力下它需要装个保险丝才能继续打拼，这个小保 险丝只要当他快烧掉时足够让他继续撑下去就够了。 Whether it was Wallace making those three free throws while also going for 11 p oints and 17 rebounds, Kirk Hinrich (19 points, 10 assists, two steals) for onc e being the more aggressive point guard in the game, Luol Deng (25 points, 13 r ebounds) finding the midrange game that served him so well in the first round o r Gordon hitting the biggest shot of the game, it was a collective step-up stat ement that will restore some measure of their pride and give them at least a fa int glimmer of hope heading into Game 5. 班蛙那三球关键罚球，让他拿下11分与17篮板，Hinrich(19分，10助攻，2抄截)无庸置疑 是这场比赛很积极的PG，加上卤蛋找回第一轮面对热火时的中距离火热手感，或狗蛋在这场 比赛中的那千里一射。这些数据都告诉我们，公牛似乎看到那一丝丝、尽管微弱的希望之光 ，让他们往Game5迈进。 "We looked much more like ourselves today," Bulls Coach Scott Skiles said. "I w ouldn't say we coasted in, that's for sure, because it got a little hairy at th e end. But in general, we looked much more relaxed and at ease. Our guys clearl y had no intention of rolling over." "今天看起来才像是本来的猛牛嘛~~~"Skiles说 "我们不会说我们已经平安抵达目的地了，这是无庸置疑的。因为最後的确差点翻船!!"但 整体而言，我们看起来似乎是的确太放松了些。牛儿们在最後很明显的有点失去了企图心。 Maybe they'll roll over in Game 5 with as much passivity as they did in Games 1 , 2 and 3. Or maybe the Bulls will bring the same energy and efficiency they ha d Sunday and truly make this a series. 也许他们在Game5时又会像Game1、2、3时、曾一度打得有些消极的鸟样。也有可能牛儿会 持续周日的蛮牛状态回到这系列战。 But despite what Saunders said, this thing still isn't really much of a series just yet. 但不管老桑说什麽，这些事情只是发生在这系列战的一个小插曲。 The Pistons know that to be true better than anyone, which is why they were abl e to laugh this one off. 活塞自己最清楚，为什麽他们在赛後可以笑得这麽爽。 The "this is no joke" stage is still nowhere near arriving. "这不是闹着玩的唷~~" 的戏码，即将上映、敬请期待。 --
