http://tinyurl.com/da98fd -- LeBron James nailed a 3-pointer with 3:05 left, essentially a dagger shot, which he punctuated by staring down the Pistons bench. Nothing new. James was just the latest opposing player to come into The Palace and kick sand in the Pistons' face. He scored 33 points to lead the Cavaliers to a 90-80 victory Sunday. Worse, the Cavaliers turned the game around with a 15-2 run early in the fourth quarter with James on the bench. 早在LBJ第四节坐板凳时骑士就用15-2的攻势扭转颓势。LBJ还在後来投三分球後 盯着活塞的板凳席（呛声）。 "This is frustrating for every individual on this team," Tayshaun Prince said. "It's especially frustrating for guys like myself, Rip (Hamilton) and Rasheed (Wallace), guys who have been here and had success here, to come in here and take the losses and lose like we have. I mean, for guys who have cherished the opportunity to play hard and keep winning, to come out on the bad end and be a .500 team is something I've never been around my whole career." 小王子特别感到沮丧。尤其是对他来说他进NBA进活塞时活塞就不是一支只有五成 胜率的球队。 Detroit (25-21) has lost nine of 12. Worse, it continues to slide down the ladder in the Eastern Conference. Detroit's 25 victories are tied with Miami for the fifth spot but just one better than Milwaukee and two better than Philadelphia -- the seventh- and eighth-place teams. 活塞目前和东区六到八种子的胜差非常小。 "Low," Prince said when asked where the team's confidence level was. 小王子被问到球队目前的信心等级时，小王子的回答是：「低。」 Then he was asked what it would take to get that confidence back. "It's going to take a lot," he said. 接着当他被问到信心要怎麽找回来时，他说：「要花很大的力气。」 The Pistons are 13-11 at The Palace, losing six of the last seven. "We are (basically) a .500 team right now," Prince said. "Over the past 20 games we've been talking about getting it right and we haven't gotten it right yet. It's starting to sound like an old record." 小王子说活塞现在基本上是一支五成胜率的球队。过去二十场一直在谈要打好， 可是都没有做到。那些话现在听来像是老唱盘了。 The Pistons were in complete control for three quarters. A stifling defense allowed them to attack in the open court -- which unlocked the talents of both Allen Iverson and Amir Johnson. Iverson scored 10 in the third quarter and Johnson (10 points, nine rebounds) added eight, four off offensive rebounds, and the Pistons went into the fourth up, 66-58. 活塞前三节完全掌控了比赛。活塞的防守和AI及Amir贡献良多。 That lead was gone in two and a half minutes. 领先在两半分钟就消失殆尽。 With James on the bench, the Cavaliers opened the fourth quarter with an 11-2 run. Daniel Gibson, scoreless with two missed shots at that point, scored seven straight points. LBJ当时坐板凳。之前在得分上毫无建树的Gibson连拿七分。 "We had a couple of defensive lapses and they took advantage," said Iverson, who finished with 22 points. "We weren't able to recover." AI表示防守上的失败让活塞无法回头。 By the time James re-entered, with 7:24 left, the Pistons were down, 73-68. They had missed five of their first six shots and Rodney Stuckey missed two free throws. They were outscored, 15-2, with James on the bench. The Cavaliers scored 32 points and shot 72.2 percent in the final quarter. 没有LBJ的情况下活塞已落後五分。第四节骑士命中率高达七成二二。 "They just spread us out and we knew they were going to do that," Prince said. "The tough thing about it, we knew what was coming and still couldn't do nothing about it." 小王子表示活塞知道骑士的战术，但最惨的是知道了却无能为力。 James tried to low-key the win, but his demonstrative actions on the court belied his words. "Any win is special, especially on the road," he said. "We've been trying to establish a road presence and we know with our rivalry with these guys, it always adds more fire to the game." LBJ对於打败活塞这个近年的劲敌，从他的场上行为和赛後访谈就知道他蛮开心的。 Pistons coach Michael Curry, meanwhile, was trying to deal with his team's confidence crisis. "Winning breeds confidence," he said. "The only thing we can do is win some games. Success. Success breeds confidence." Curry知道赢球能增强信心。成功能增强信心。 If anyone is going to criticize or complain about him, Curry would appreciate it if they would at least identify themselves. In a story in the Sunday New York Daily News, long-time NBA writer Peter Vecsey cited a couple of anonymous veteran Pistons as saying they had lost confidence in Curry. There was a quote from an identified player that said: "Psychologically, we've lost confidence in him and I don't know how to get that back." 星期日纽约时报的一篇报导指出，一位不具名的活塞老将表示他们失去了对Curry 的信心，也不知道该怎麽找回来。 http://tinyurl.com/d8p3h2 Has Michael Curry lost control of the 25-20 Pistons and the respect of the players? Did he have it to lose? Numerous players didn't much care for Flip Saunders. Now it's more a lack of confidence in the rookie coach than a dislike of him, from what I'm told. "No confidence" is more like it, a veteran confided to a friend. "Psychologically we've lost confidence in him and I don't know how you get that back." Biggest gripe from two veterans: They're convinced Curry is being told who to play by Joe Dumars. 还有两位老将发牢骚说他们相信是Dumars告诉Curry谁该上场的。 Curry talked about the article before the game. "Who is it?" he said. "How do you address something without someone's name on it? It's part of change. I knew coming in and Joe knew coming in, as you make changes this is going to be part of it. When you lose, this is going to be part of it. Even when you win, it's part of it." Curry得知这项消息後，他认为那位球员该具名才对。 Perkins fined The NBA has fined Boston forward Kendrick Perkins $10,000 for his flagrant-2 hit on Jason Maxiell Friday. "After I watched the tape, I thought I was going to get fined even more," Perkins told the Boston Herald. "But I wasn't trying to go for his head. It was nothing personal." Perkins因为对Maxy的恶性犯规被罚了一万美元。Perkins承认看完带子後他认为他会 被罚更重。但他也说他不是故意犯那样的规。 Slam dunks Stuckey left the game in the fourth quarter after taking a knee to the thigh. He will be re-evaluated today. ... Cavaliers forward Anderson Varejao took five stitches in his lip after taking an inadvertent elbow from Antonio McDyess . Stuckey在第四节受伤离场，会再做检查。Varejao则在被袋鼠无心的肘击後嘴唇缝了 五针。 --
