Encased in a corner of Parker's trophy room, taunting its guest from behind a block of Lucite, was the 2005 NBA championship ring claimed at the expense of McDyess' Detroit Pistons. 在Tony Parker的家里用了点晚餐後，Parker带着新同学McDyess在他家里四处游览。彷佛 在嘲弄它的客人似的，在Parker的奖盃室里头的一角，用合成玻璃装着的是击败McDyess当 时身处的底特律活塞队而夺得的05年NBA冠军戒。 “I didn't remember he was on that team,” Parker swears. “He thought I was doing it on purpose, but I really didn't remember.” 「我不记得他当时在(活塞)队里」Parker斩钉截铁地说，「他认为我是故意的，但我真的 不记得了」 Five months later, McDyess still isn't buying it. 五个月後，McDyess仍不买他的帐。 “I know he did it on purpose, to rub it in my face,” said McDyess, who played five seasons in Detroit before signing with the Spurs in July. “I should have taken (the ring) out of the case and took it home.” 「我知道他是故意的，他惹毛我了」在七月加盟马刺前在活塞待了五年之久的McDyess说， 「我应该把那戒指从玻璃里面干走然後把它带回家」 McDyess' old team makes its annual trip to the AT&T Center tonight, bringing with it a stark reminder of why his 14-season championship chase has relocated to South Texas. Had he remained in Detroit, larceny would have been the only plausible manner for McDyess to obtain a ring. 今晚McDyess的前母队带着他满满的回忆造访AT&T Center，他那为何将他14年来的冠军梦 寄托在德州(马刺)的回忆。假使他留在活塞，McDyess获得冠军戒的唯一方法就是去犯窃 盗罪(干走戒指)。 In the throes of a painful rebuilding process that began the day Chauncey Billups was dealt to Denver, the Pistons are mired in a 10-game losing streak, their longest since dropping 13 straight during the 1993-94 campaign. 从Chauncey Billups被交易到丹佛的那一天起，活塞开始了痛苦挣扎的重建期，自93-94年 夺冠後13年来最长的10连败。 “It's sad,” said McDyess, who nevertheless will be rooting for Detroit to extend that streak tonight. “It's sad to see those guys go through that. Nobody wants to be on that end of it, losing (10) games in a row.” 「伤心」今晚仍会为连败的活塞加油打气McDyess说，「看到这群小子们一直连败真伤心， 没有人想当他们开胡的对象」 There was a time when a visit from the Pistons rivaled a visit from the Lakers on the Spurs fan's Must-See Meter. 曾跟踢馆的湖人打过的活塞队造访圣安东尼奥，是马刺迷一定要看的衡量指标。 The Pistons were the Eastern Conference's winningest team of the last decade, making six straight conference finals, two NBA Finals trips and one Larry O'Brien Trophy. 活塞队是东区过去十年来最强的队伍，曾连6年打进东区冠军赛，2次NBA总冠军赛并获得 一次NBA总冠军。 Only three players remain from Detroit's 2004 championship team — Richard Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince and Ben Wallace, who returned via free agency last summer. 活塞2004年冠军队成员只剩3名球员 — Richard Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince以及去年 夏天回锅的Ben Wallace。 Plagued by injuries, particularly to Hamilton and Prince, Detroit is 11-22 under first-year coach John Kuester, in a tug-o-war with Indiana for last place in the Central Division. It's a strange sight for a Spurs team that had come to regard each game against the Pistons as a potential Finals preview. 受伤兵之苦，尤其是Hamilton跟Prince，活塞队在第一年执教的John Kuester带领下战绩 11胜22败，在中央组跟溜马队拼炉主。对马刺来说，过去令人尊敬，曾是"我们会在冠军 赛见面"的活塞队变到如此境地是个奇怪的景象。 “They've been good for so long,” Parker said. “At some point, it's going to turn. It's sad to see that.” 「他们已脱离强队之林」Parker说，「沧海桑田。看到他们这样令人伤感」 For the Pistons, the beginning of the end of an era came Nov. 4, 2008, when team president Joe Dumars orchestrated a point-guard swap with Denver. Billups became a Nugget. Allen Iverson came to Detroit, in an ill-fated experiment to determine how many ball-dominating shooters a team could employ at once. 对活塞来说，当球队总裁Joe Dumars精心安排的Billups-Iverson交易案开始进行时，东 区霸主的丧钟於2008年11月4日敲响了。Allen Iverson来到底特律，不幸的试验造成了被 一堆球队的主宰射手有机可乘的结果。 Also sent to Denver — briefly, and for bookkeeping purposes — was McDyess. McDyess也曾经被送往丹佛一阵子，目的是省钱。 McDyess didn't play a game for Denver, accepting a buyout and re-signing with Detroit for the balance of the season. But the Pistons as he'd known them were no more. McDyess并未为金块打球，接受买断并且为维持该季战力重新回到活塞。但这再也不是他 所认识的那支活塞队了。 Detroit snuck into the playoffs as the eighth seed, only to be swept by Cleveland in the first round. A few months later, McDyess and Rasheed Wallace left for free agency. 活塞以第八种子进入季後赛，只在第一轮就被骑士队横扫。几个月後，McDyess跟Rasheed Wallace成为自由球员离开了。 With the Billups deal, McDyess said, Detroit “broke up all chemistry.” 随着Billups的离去，McDyess说，「活塞打破了所有的化学效应」。 “I really didn't understand the logic of that trade,” he said. “I guess they were in a rebuilding stage, and it's showing now.” 「我真的不知道交易(Billups)的逻辑为何」他说，「我猜想他们处於重建期，而如现在 你所见的」 Asked if he would still be in Detroit if Billups were still there, McDyess said, “I think I would.” 问他如果Billups仍留在活塞的话他是否会留在那儿，「我想我会的」McDyess说。 Instead, McDyess wound up in San Antonio, just down the street from Parker. He hasn't looked back since leaving Detroit — except for tonight, when his old team comes to his new town, leaving him no other choice. 相反地，McDyess选择马刺作为终点，就只住在Parker家的南边。自离开底特律後他不曾 回顾 — 除了今晚，当他过去的母队来造访他的新归属球队时，他别无选择。 --
