Prince, Wallace control fate of team http://0rz.tw/8FjBK BY VINCE ELLIS ‧ FREE PRESS SPORTS WRITER ‧ April 25, 2009 Pistons coach Michael Curry proved prophetic. Curry早说过了 Before Friday night's Game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he said the Pistons needed Tayshaun Prince and Rasheed Wallace to play better to have a chance at extending the first-round playoff series. 在G3开打前，Curry就说过活塞需要Prince与Rasheed两位球员打得更好才有机会延长这 系列战 But the two continued their vanishing acts, combining for 12 points in the Pistons' 79-68 loss to the Cavaliers. 但他们仍然表现低迷，两人总计只拿下12分 最终以79-68败给骑士队 When asked before the game if he would go to the bench earlier, Curry said: "Our bench has been playing really good, but let's make no mistake about it. If Tayshaun and 'Sheed can't play really good in this series we don't have a chance." 当被问及是否会让板凳球员更提早些上场，Curry认为我们的板凳确实打得不错 但不要搞错了重点，若希望这系列战活塞的表现能更好，绝对需要Prince与Rasheed回魂 Cleveland put a stranglehold on the series by taking a 3-0 lead heading into Sunday's Game 4 at the Palace. 骑士目前3-0领先，周日将要在奥本山开打G4 If Prince and Wallace don't produce, the Cavaliers will probably sweep the Pistons. 要是Prince和Rasheed再不回魂，活塞很有可能被4-0横扫淘汰 Prince, struggling with a sore back, got the Pistons off to a good start Friday with seven early points. Prince仍受背部酸痛所苦，虽然比赛刚开打时他似乎表现不错，没多久就拿下了7分 But he failed to score again. 但全场比赛也就这麽7分 Wallace was a nonfactor most of the game -- he was again outplayed by Cavs forward Anderson Varejao and former Pistons Joe Smith. Rasheed是这场比赛最没作用的家伙，完全被大V与Joe Smith的表现压制 GOOD DEFENSE The Pistons scored a moral victory on Friday, defending the Cavs' backcourt of Mo Williams and Delonte West. 就精神层面来说，活塞周五的表现不算失败 至少成功的守住了Mo与West The duo had their way the first two games of the series, but they were held to a combined four points on 1-for-18 shooting. 在这系列赛的前两场，Mo与West几乎予取予求 但他们两位在G3被压制到只合计拿下4分(投18中1) IT IS WHAT IT IS Many have called out the Pistons over the past few fays, questioning their heart and desire, including Antonio McDyess. 很多人对这几天活塞的表现发声，质疑他们的求胜心，包含Dice。 That's understandable since the Cavs barely worked up a sweat while winning the first two games of the series. 他们不解为什麽前两战骑士几乎不费吹灰之力就把活塞干掉。 But when asked if he was bothered by the criticism, Prince said the team had earned it. 当被问及是否被这些批评所困扰时，Prince说这是球队本来就应该接受的。 "You can't control what other people say for one. That's the important thing," Prince said. "And then No. 2, what we've shown throughout this season, as far as our ups and downs, people are going to put that out there. You definitely got to take the good with the bad. 「最重要的一点是，你没办法控制其他人想说什麽。」Prince说 第二点，这一季走来无论高低起伏，人们总是会把这些问题拿出来讨论。 事情总是有好的一面、也有坏的一面。 "When things were going good and we were winning and having a great time, everybody was saying great things. Obviously we're having a bad year, throughout the 82 games and first two playoff games and nobody is going to give us a shot regardless." 「当大家处於连胜的快乐日子，每个人都只会朝好的一面想。明显地我们今年很糟， 在打完了这麽糟的82场例行赛与2场季後赛後，很难有人仍可以不顾一切，对我们仍 抱有一线希望。」 --
