Detroit won by seven. 好，好，你到底希望他怎麽做？没收它吗？枪蜥在枪响时投进一记三分球。好，就算 那三分是裁判奉送又如何？底特律可是赢了七分之多。 No whining. 不用抱怨了。 "It sucks to be on the other end of that," Billups admitted of the play that ended the third quarter, a play that started under one basket and involved dribbling, passes, a dump-off and a Chauncey three-point bomb, yet on the clock only took less than a second. "如果立场交换我应该一样干到不行，"枪蜥承认说第三节结束那记三分，从另外一端 底线传出，包括传球、运球、跳起回传，还有最後的三分出手，再怎样也不可能只花不到 一秒钟就完成全部动作。 I know basketball is a fast game. 我知道篮球比赛节奏很快。 It's not that fast. 但也没快到那种程度。 But the refs' hands were tied, they can't take points off the board in that situation. Besides, this victory was not about a clock, no matter how much Orlando fans may want to harp on it. Nor was it about any three-point shot, even though there were a ton of them at the Palace, especially by the Magic, who hit 11. 但裁判的手定住了，他们不可能在那种情况下没收计分板上的分数。此外，不管奥兰 多的球迷多麽心有不甘，这场胜利也不只关乎那次计时器出错。也无关任何一记三分球， 就算在宫殿球场出现了这麽多三分球，特别是魔术，他们投进了11颗三分。 No, this was about Tayshaun Prince, skying for rebounds, blocks and a monster jam that he pulled out of the sky. It was about a rookie backcourt, Rodney Stuckey and Arron Afflalo, holding its own while the starters rested. It was about having not one, not two, but four big guys to cover the mountain called Dwight Howard. 都不是的，不过活塞获胜倒要归功於小王子，高来高去抓篮板、敲火锅，还飞身来了 表演了一记非人哉的野兽灌篮。要归功於一对菜鸟後场，Rodney Stuckey和Arron Afflalo ，在先发球员休息时能够适时补上并有称职的演出。要归功於不只一位，不只两位，而是 四位大个子前仆後继，不顾一切去削弱超人Dwight Howard的惊人破坏力。 And it was about Billups hitting, yes ... 还有，就是枪蜥投进的，是的... ... his free throws. ...他投进的那些罚球。 Doing all the little things 做好所有不起眼的小事 That's right. Free throws. Boring, perhaps. But a point is a point, and on a night when points were coming in big bunches, going 10-for-10 from the line and 8-for-8 in the fourth quarter is a luxury you cannot overstate. 没错，就是罚球。无趣，或许吧。但一分就是一分，而且在这样一分难求的晚上，在 罚球线上10罚俱中，包括第四节8罚俱中，这取分方式真是轻松愉快，这麽形容一点也不夸 张，对吧？ They gave him three free points? 他们免费送给他三分？ He had 10 in the fourth quarter. 他在第四节可是拿了10分啊。 He earned his honors. 他用实力证明了自己的能耐。 "We held serve and did what we're supposed to do -- finally," Billups said after the 100-93 victory that gives Detroit a 2-0 series lead. "我们当家并尽到了东道主应尽事宜 -- 终於，"枪蜥在100比93取胜後说，底特律在此 系列赛中暂时以2比0领先。 And we know what the "finally" means. The Pistons lost two of the first three to Philadelphia and had to scramble back to win that series, including the clincher on the road. 而我们知道"终於"意味什麽。活塞在第一轮面对费城的前三战输了两场，导致球队必 须辛苦地从1比2落後的逆境中奋起求胜，包括最终在客场拿下关键的第四胜才确定晋级。 This is a much more pleasant route. Win your home games. Absorb their hard and desperate blows. And Orlando was a hard and desperate team. This was not Game 1 . Not even close. The Magic had a 29-point quarter and a 36-point quarter, which already is pretty close to its total points (72) in the opener. 这轮的走法就贴近理想多了。保住主场比赛。挡下对手顽强，抱有必死决心的全力一 击。而奥兰多确实是这样一支顽强，如同神风特攻队般的队伍。这场比赛不像第一场，甚 至可以说是一点也不像。魔术第一节拿下29分，甚至第三节还拿下36分，光是这两节小计 就和他们在第二轮开幕战的总得分(72分)相差无几。 "They played well," Rip Hamilton admitted. The Pistons played a tad better. It was hardly a perfect game, more an evening of spurts. The Pistons surged in the second -- with rookies on the floor. The Magic surged in the third -- hitting seven straight three-pointers. RIP也承认说，"他们打得很好，"。活塞表现只比他们好了一点点。这很难说是一场完 美的比赛，只能说末段表现还不错。第二节活塞菜鸟在场上时拉出一波高潮，而魔术也在 第三节马上以连续一波七颗三分球命中来回敬对手。 But games are won in the final period, when Billups (28 points) had the ball in his hands. He drew fouls. He hit a leaner. He grabbed boards. And he hit eight free throws in the last 4:45. 但球赛是在最後时刻才分出胜负，在枪蜥(28分)拿球的时候。他吸引犯规。他在身体 失去平衡下出手命中。他抓下篮板。而且在最後4分45秒内罚进八记罚球。 How many playoff games see the balance change because somebody clangs the rim on a freebie? You think of the Shaqs or the Howards, the Achilles' heels of their free-throw shooting. 有多少季後赛因为球员在被送上罚球线时无法将球顺利罚进而将胜利拱手让给对方。 你会想到大欧或是Howard，这类对於罚球不在行的球员。 And then there's Chauncey. Mr. Swish. 不过这里说的是枪蜥耶，传说中的空心先生。 No time to relax 没有时间放松了 There was a moment Monday where Billups drove to the hoop, got tangled with the defender and went crashing to the floor. He landed hard on his tailbone, banged his head and lay on the court for several seconds. 星期一晚上枪蜥有一次切入上篮时被防守者绊倒而跌坐在地板上。他屁股重重地落在 地板上，头也砰然撞地，躺在场上好几秒钟。 Then he got up, blinking, and hit ... his free throws. Those kind of moments may not make "SportsCenter," but they win games. 不过他爬了起来，稍微清醒了一下，并且...投进了他的罚球。那种表现或许不会在" 世界体育中心"的精采镜头剪辑中看到，但确实能帮助球队获胜。 "My mother always said I had a hard head," Billups joked. And now we'll learn about the Pistons' noggins. They've won five straight playoff games since their wake-up in Game 3 against the 76ers. It would be nice to see them carry this toughness to Florida and not succumb to the "aw-what's-one-loss?" mentality. "我妈总说我有颗很硬的头，"枪蜥开玩笑说。而现在我们要说活塞的头。他们自从对 上76人第三战觉醒後已经连续赢得五场季後赛。如果能看到他们把这种坚毅的精神带到佛 罗里达而且不轻易屈服於"噢，输一场也无关紧要嘛"这种放松的念头就更好了。 For now, they took a red-hot shooting night, and they won anyhow. Not by a clock. Not by a gift. They did it the old-fashioned way. One play, one stop and one free throw at a time. 以现在来说，他们打出一个手感火烫的夜晚，而不管怎样他们拿下了比赛胜利。非关 计时器出错，非关裁判送礼。他们打出一贯的活塞风格。在每一次攻防、暂停和罚球之间 ，缓慢而稳健地取胜。 --
