Sheed: Pistons have to 'knuckle up' 溪 蛙：咱们得认真点 http://0rz.tw/G7Aw0 By TOM WITHERS ‧ AP Sports Writer ‧ April 19, 2009 CLEVELAND — Pistons coach Michael Curry got home Saturday night after his team’s playoff loss and stayed up late watching a movie. Curry在周六吞下败仗回到家後，熬夜看了一部片。 It was like one of those slasher genre films: predictable plot, unstoppable villain, sequel-spawning finish. No blood or gratuitous gore in this one, though, just bodies everywhere. 那似乎是一部血腥片:可预期的计画、拿他没辄的坏人、铺续集的梗。 虽然没有血浆乱爆，但放眼望去到处都是屍体。 Pistons splayed all over the floor. 活塞全部摊在地上。 LeBron James was a hardwood horror for Detroit in Game 1. 对活塞而言，LeBron在G1的表现就像是梦靥一般。 James, in get-out-of-my-way overdrive from the outset, scored 38 points — mostly on shots from near range — and got all his teammates involved as the Cavaliers and their highly evolved offense rolled to a 102-84 win over the Pistons, who went back to the drawing board to devise a new plan for James in Game 2 on Tuesday night. LeBron拿下38分 - 几乎都是靠近距离 - 并且使其他队友一同在进攻端共襄盛举。 活塞以84-102吞下败仗，在G2开打前得针对LeBron想出新的对策才行。 “It’s going to take more than one person to stop LeBron,” Pistons guard Will Bynum said. “It’s going to take all five of us. We have to do what we have to do to stop this guy.” 「可能得不只一个人才能守得住LeBron，」威霸男说 我们得想办法全力防堵这个家伙，场上的五个人都得帮忙。 James made it look easy in the opener. Given a seam to drive, he blasted to the basket. Given room to shoot, he shot and finished 13-of-20 from the floor. In just under 41 minutes, he added eight rebounds, seven assists and didn’t commit a turnover despite facing a defense designed for him. LeBron在开赛就让比赛显得简单。 一个切入，飞身扣篮。 他这场比赛上场41分钟，投20中13、8篮板、7助攻。 而且在各种针对他所设计出来的陷阱下，0失误。 “LeBron’s very tough when he puts his mind to it,” Cavs center Zydrunas Ilgauskas said following a short practice today. “It’s pick your poison with him.” 「当LeBron破凰，谁都阻止不了他」大Z在今天的短暂练习後说道。 他会让你喝下毒药。 Too often, the Pistons seemed out of sync defensively when James had the ball. In previous games, Detroit would overload one side of the floor to James, hoping to overwhelm him with numbers and take away his passing lanes. This time, the Pistons tried to trap him coming off screens and dropped others toward the basket. 当LeBron持球，活塞的防守总是不断被他撕裂。 在先前的几场比赛，活塞试着全力封印他的火力并且截断他的传球路线。 而这次活塞试着布下陷阱抓他，宁愿放掉其他家伙。 Nothing worked well, as he either beat his man or threaded a pass to an open teammate for an easy bucket. Cleveland shot 53% overall. 这没有让事情变得更好，他仍然吃掉防守者而且还是能传球给队友轻松得分。 骑士这场比赛的命中率高达53%。 Curry was disappointed by the Pistons’ inability to keep James out of the foul lane, where he can simply outjump his defender and shoot. Curry对於无法制造LeBron的犯规，又让他在面对防守者时轻易地跳投出手感到失望。 “We didn’t make him take the shots that we wanted him to take,” Curry said. “He had eight shots in the paint and 11-of-14 from the free-throw line. We have to keep him out of the paint more, make him pass it to (teammates) and try to make those guys make plays. I think we’ll do a much better job on him.” 「我们的陷阱失败了，没收到我们希望的成效，」Curry说 他在禁区出手了8次，而且站上罚球线14次投进了11球。 我们得试着把他挤出禁区更多一些，迫使他得选择传球给其他队友。 我想我们在他身上的防守可以再做的更好些。 It’s not as if the Pistons haven’t seen this before. What Detroit, and the rest of the league are finding out, is that the Cavaliers are more than James. 活塞以前并不是没有遇过这种情形。 但不只是活塞，联盟其他球队也发现其实现在骑士其他球员也不是这麽好惹的了。 He is surrounded by more weapons than ever, and he trusts that when he passes the ball to Ilgauskas or Mo Williams or Anderson Varejao or Delonte West, they are going to put it in the basket. LeBron现在有更多帮手助阵，他也信任他们、他懂得选择传球给大Z、Mo、大V、West。 而他们也都能想办法把球搞进篮框。 “It’s tough trying to guard LeBron,” said Tayshaun Prince, who was slowed by a nagging lower back injury. “But now you have Mo and Delonte West who are capable of making big plays on their own. Their bigs are very active, and they really play well off of each other.” 「想成功守住LeBron是件苦差事」小王子说 小王子因为背伤(昨天不是说肋骨?)显的有些迟缓。 「而且现在连Mo和West都能做出一些高难度的投射得手。而且骑士的肉棒非常活跃， 让彼此都打得更好。」 With Prince hurting, Curry indicated he may use either Richard Hamilton or Rodney Stuckey to guard James and rely on others to help. 针对小王子受伤，Curry说他会让RIP、Stuck分担防守LeBron的工作，甚至让其他球员 一同参与帮忙。 It’s not all about penning in James, though. Like their superstar, now all of 24, Cleveland’s offense has matured in recent years. Saturday’s offensive output was the first time the Cavaliers have broken 100 points in 14 playoff games against the Pistons. 尽管如此，问题不只是LeBron。近几年来骑士的进攻越来越成熟了。 这是骑士在14次季後赛对上活塞的交手经验中，首度得分破百。 “Our offense is night and day,” James said. “A couple of years ago, we did a lot of standing. We relied on me sometimes just to dribble and get us into making a play for either myself or a teammate. The ball movement that we have and the way we rely on teammates to make plays is at an all-time high.” 「我们的火力源源不绝，」 LeBron说 在几年前，我们的跑动不够。我们有时得仰赖我自己或其他队友单打。 现在只需要仰赖我运球、并且让其他队友找到好机会。 靠这样球的流动以及队友的大力相挺，让我们总是能火力全开。 Cleveland made just five turnovers — a franchise playoff-low — in Game 1. 骑士这场比赛全队只有5个失误。 Unlike past years, the Cavs didn’t allow the Pistons to slow the tempo to a comfortable crawl. When fast-break chances were there, James and his teammates ran. It’s something they always wanted to do, but coach Mike Brown usually kept his team on a short leash. 不像过去，这回骑士可不随着活塞为了想把防守布好阵而把节奏打慢。 当有快攻的机会，他们跑、跑、跑。 那是他们希望能做到的，但Mike Bron不想他们把节奏打太快。 “Over the last three years, we weren’t good on offense mainly because of me, ” Brown said. “I wanted to establish an identity here, and that was on defense. I wanted our guys to believe and smell and look like defenders. It is starting to evolve and it is starting to show how much work we have put it. We have talented guys, and they’re able to score, and they have a great understanding.” 「过去三年，因为我的关系 我们的进攻不是很棒」Mike Brown说 我希望的目标是建立起防守。 我希望我们这些家伙相信而且能够做的像是好的防守者。 於是我们开始进化、开始展现我们能做到什麽地步。 我们有很多有天赋的家伙，他们可以得分、而且总是被低估。 The Pistons understand what they need to do. They may not be the Bad Boys of old, but they can still get nasty and play down-and-dirty defense at a high level. 活塞了解他们该怎麽做。他们可能不像上一代的坏孩子，但他们可以打得更粗暴些 并且将防守层级再提高些。 For Rasheed Wallace, there’s only one way to improve. 溪蛙认为只有一个方法。 “Knuckling up,” the Piston center said. “Bottom line. There are no tricks we’re going to add. Just straighten on up.” 「活塞，硬起来」溪蛙说。 重点不在於花拳绣腿，而是我们得硬起来。 该是时候认真工作了!! ※ 编辑: tc89 来自: 125.232.139.165 (04/20 14:35) ※ 编辑: tc89 来自: 125.232.139.165 (04/20 14:49) ※ 编辑: tc89 来自: 125.232.139.165 (04/20 14:50)
