PROBABLE STARTING LINE-UP 可能先发名单 PG - Chauncey Billups 控卫 - 枪蜥 The new richest man on the block, Billups can now finally be paid in line with his production on the Pistons. While he is probably a tad overpaid, to be frank , Detroit had no choice but to re-sign him and they hardly killed themselves to do it. The last year of Billups' contract is a team option and he should still rank as one of the league's premier point guards until then. Billups is in the perfect situation in Detroit, where his teammates are good enough to hide some of his deficiencies as a playmaker while highlighting his exceptional abilities as a scorer. There is no criticism intended there, merely a recognition of ideal fit enjoyed by Billups and his employer. 枪蜥刚成为球队阵中最高薪的球员，他现在终於可以在活塞队领到符合身价的表现。 尽管他的薪水有过於高估的可能性，老实说，底特律别无选择只能和他续约而且他们後悔 这麽做的机会也不高。去年枪蜥的合约是球队选择权而到那时候为止他应该还名列联盟顶 级控卫之一。枪蜥在底特律如鱼得水，他队友的出色表现足以让他掩饰掉一些他身为主控 不足的地方，同时还可以放大了他特别突出的得分能力。这里不是要批评或非难，只不过 是说明了枪蜥和他的雇主间是水帮鱼，鱼帮水的互助互惠关系。 SG - Richard Hamilton 得分後卫 - RIP Steady, consistent, high-percentage. There isn't much anyone can knock Hamilton for. He brings the kind of dependability to work every day that most teams would kill for from any one of their players. He's an unconventional All-Star by today's standards, but his production and dedication warrant his selection over many other so-called 'superstars' in the NBA today and his throwback approach to the NBA that is returning to vogue should be (but won't be) recognized as trendsetting in the modern NBA. 稳定、一致、高命中率。其实任何人都没有什麽可以批评RIP的地方。他每天都为球队 提供了可靠的表现，而那正符合绝大多数球队对於阵中球员的期待。以今日的标准而言， 他并不是一个典型的全明星球员，但他的表现和贡献让他得以胜过许多其他所谓的'超级巨 星'，顺利入选全明星赛，而且他将即将失传的技艺完美重现於今日的NBA赛场，也应该会 获得认同，再次在现代的NBA引领风骚。 SF - Tayshaun Prince 小前锋 - 小王子 Was there a more unexpected name to make it to this summer's USA contingent at the Tournament of the Americas? While that team, and any team, can find a use for a player as versatile as Prince, he hardly seemed an obvious selection alongside Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony. Yet there he was, each and every game (save for one against Mexico, missed due to an ankle sprain) plying his trade as if all his teammates around him weren't electrifying the highlight reels. It goes to show you how much the attitudes have changed about what is important in a basketball team that Prince is such a highly paid and decorated player despite being the definition of a complimentary piece. Or maybe people are just intoxicated by his behind-the-back, pin-you-to-the-backboard blocks. Who's to say? 在今年夏天美锦赛的美国队阵容当中还有任何一个名字比小王子更令人意想不到吗？ 尽管在那支球队，或任何一支球队中，都能找到一个像小王子这样多才多艺的球员，但他 能够与Kobe、LBJ和甜瓜等人共同入选还是跌破许多人的眼镜。尽管他入选让人有些意外， 但每场比赛(除了在对上墨西哥的比赛中因为脚踝扭伤而缺赛)他都全力以赴，彷佛他身旁 的队友全都是身怀绝技但无心恋战的武林高手。那让你了解到态度在一支篮球队中能够让 球员的重要性发生多大的改变，尽管大家原本认为他是不重要的一块拼图，但小王子仍是 个高投资报酬率而且荣誉至上的好球员。或许人们可能只是对於他从後方钉板的盖锅功夫 印象深刻。谁要来说说看呢？ PF - Rasheed Wallace 大前锋 - 溪蛙 After last season's unexpected playoff exit at the hands of the Cavaliers, there was a chorus of voices demanding Rasheed Wallace been shown the door out of the Palace of Auburn Hills. His lackadaisical play, his disinterested attitude and his re-emergent temper had all worn thin with many a Pistons faithful. As the days wore on, however, Joe Dumars made it clear that Wallace wasn't going anywhere, and the hordes - with their cries - died down. Despite the backing of the boss, though, one has to believe that Wallace will be closely monitored this season. With Billups and Hamilton each being on the bad side of thirty by the time the playoffs roll around, the Pistons don't have as open a window as most of their Eastern counterparts. Thus, if Wallace continues to assert that he is no longer part of the solution, expect him to find himself in a new home by this time next year. 在上个球季季後赛意外中箭落马，成为骑士手下败将後，就有一些关於溪蛙表现不佳 ，要求他离开奥本山宫殿的杂音存在。他漫不经心的表现，他漠不关心的态度还有他再度 出现的火爆脾气一再地与活塞精神产生抵触。尽管，随着时间过去，老乔已经表明了溪蛙 哪里都不会去，所以那些希望他被交易的声浪也逐渐平息了。尽管有了老板的背书，相信 溪蛙这个球季的表现将会被摆在放大镜下面观察。随着季後赛时间流逝，枪蜥和RIP也分别 显出老态，活塞没必要再替他们东区的敌手们打开一扇机会之窗。所以，如果溪蛙继续摆 烂，让大家认为他已经不再是球队夺冠的拼图，可以预期明年的这个时间他就会到新东家 去报到了。 C - Nazr Mohammed 中锋 - 回教人 It's hard to say exactly what went wrong here last year. While Mohammed has hardly been a star at this position in the past, many credit San Antonio's late surge in 2005 to his arrival from New York. Last season, though, he looked dazed and confused as the Pistons' starter, and was very quickly shunted off to the bench when Chris Webber made his late-season debut for his hometown team. Now, with Webber departed, Mohammed is once again thrust into the starting five with no real hope to fair better than he did last year. Of course, there remains a possibility that head coach Flip Saunders shakes up convention and starts Rasheed Wallace here and either Antonio McDyess or even Jason Maxiell at the four spot, but Saunders has hardly shown a taste for the unexpected in Motown and so expecting it now would probably be premature. 实在很难去确切说明去年到底是出了什麽问题。尽管过去回教人在这个位置很难称得 上是个明星球员，至少他在纽约尼克还有'05年球季末段在圣安东尼奥马刺的表现还是获得 许多人的肯定。不过去年他在担任活塞先发中锋期间看起来却是一副茫然不知所措的样子 ，而且在上个球季中段威爸首次穿着他故乡球队的球衣亮相後很快就被甩到板凳席上的最 角落处。现在威爸离开了，虽然比起去年，众人对他并没有真的抱持什麽什麽希望，但回 教人还是会再一次披挂上阵，担任球队先发中锋的吃重角色。当然，还是存在着老桑教练 不按牌理出牌的可能性，或许他会让溪蛙担任中锋，而让袋鼠或甚至J-Max负责四号位置。 但老桑几乎未曾拿出超乎大家预期的表现，所以从现在就开始抱持期待，是不是真的有点 言之过早了呢。 --
