Poor early defense dooms Pistons 开 赛 时 贫 脊 的 防 守 导 致 失 败 原文链结：http://0rz.tw/HG1Yw BY VINCE ELLIS ‧ FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER ‧ January 26, 2009 There were different opinions among the Pistons about what went wrong after the latest loss. 在吞下这场败仗後，活塞对於哪些地方出了问题有些不同的看法。 The Houston Rockets carved up the Pistons' defense in the first quarter, shooting 15-for-19 and leaving Detroit with a 108-105 loss at the Palace on Sunday night. 在周日晚间，活塞於主场迎战火箭。但第一节火箭便撕裂了活塞的防 守，并有高达15-19的命中率。终场以108-105力克活塞。 Pistons coach Michael Curry said the players weren't doing a good enough job of protecting the interior and challenging the Rockets' three-point shooters. 咖哩认为我们的球员在保护禁区以及防守火箭的射手时做得不够好。 In the first half, the players didn't know how to balance guarding forward Luis Scola, who was cutting to the basket, and still guard the shooters. 在上半场，球员们拿Scola没辄。他持续的成功切入篮下，并且严密地 看守着我们的射手。 "It was little bit of confusion in the beginning, but we pretty much figured it out in the second half, but by then it was too late," Pistons big man Rasheed Wallace said. 活塞的长人狗屁大神说 「比赛刚开始时我们有淡薄的迷惘，但我们在下 半场很快的修正这些问题，但看来似乎是有些太迟了。」 But it almost wasn't. 几乎来得及，可惜太迟了。 After falling behind as much as 15 points early in the fourth quarter, the Pistons had a chance to tie with 10.2 seconds left. 即使第四节刚开打，落後多达15分。活塞仍然在剩最後10.2秒时有将 比数拉平的机会。 But Wallace rushed a well-guarded three-pointer and Arron Afflalo's last gasp at the buzzer was long. The Pistons dropped their seventh in nine games even though the Rockets played without All-Star center Yao Ming , who has a sore right knee. 「 狗屁大神抓下Artest罚球没进的篮板後急忙退到三分线外丢了个狗屁三 分却没进，小王子抓下篮板後传给Afflalo再一次选择三分出手，可惜太 迟了。即使火箭没有全明星中锋姚明(右膝受伤)，活塞仍吞下了近九场 比赛中的弟七场败仗。 」 The Rockets (28-17) were boosted by the return of Ron Artest (24 points) and Tracy McGrady (15) from injuries. 火箭目前战绩28胜17败，并且Artest(24分)、T-Mac(15分)已经归队。 And while Scola was 5-for-5 from the field (9-for-11 in the game) in the first quarter, McGrady and Artest combined for 16 points as the Rockets jumped to a 39-27 lead after the first quarter. 当第一节Scola投5中5(整场比赛9-11的高命中率)，T-Mac与Artest也 联手贡献了16分，此时火箭已经让比数拉开到39-27。 "We had defensive principles going in, and we didn't follow them through the first four possessions, and they hit open shots and then when we started to play defense, guys had started making shots already," Pistons forward Tayshaun Prince said. 小王子说「我们有执行我们防守的策略，但他们前四次出手我们没有确 实的守好。当我们回过神时，他们已经投出手感了。」 The Pistons (24-19) battled back, taking a brief one-point lead in the third quarter. But the team wasted many chances. 活塞(目前战绩24胜19败)仍做出顽强抵抗，甚至第三节时曾短暂的顶 先一分(AI罚二中一，使得活塞当下以69-68领先一分)。但活塞浪费了 很多机会。 Allen Iverson, who scored 17 points, sat out the final 11 minutes. AI拿下了17分，在最後11分钟被换下场後并未在上场。 It was the third home game in a row the Pistons have struggled defensively from the outset. The Mavericks shot 66% in the first half in their romp over the Pistons on Friday night at the Palace. 这是连续第三场在主场的比赛，活塞在赛初的防守就出了问题。周五晚 间在皇宫主场的比赛，小牛上半场高达66%的fg，大肆屠杀活塞。 "It's tough, because you would think at this point we would have found our way and we haven't, so it was definitely unfortunate for us," Prince said. 小王子说「这是困难的，你可能会认为此时我们已经找到我们的方式但 其实并没有。当然这对我们是不幸的消息。」 Rip Hamilton scored 27 points for the Pistons. Wallace had 22 points and 11 rebounds. RIP拿下27分，狗屁拿下22分、11篮板。 Scola finished with 21, and Shane Battier and Rafer Alston each scored 14. Scola最後拿下21分、Battier与Alston则分别拿下14分。 --
