Raps limp home Hope to regain winning form they had before embarrassing trip By MIKE KOREEN, TORONTO SUN After another ugly West Coast swing, the Raptors have a chance to plant their feet in the friendly confines of the Air Canada Centre for a large chunk of time. 在又一次悲惨的西部之旅後，暴龙队有机会在他们的主场Air Canada Centre有一大段 时间可以喘息。 Depending on your perspective, playing six of the next seven games at home may or may not be a good thing. 就像你所预测的，在家里打五或六比赛可能是也可能不是件好事。 There are more than a few fans out there who want the Raptors (14-28) to continue their losing ways, seeing as that will improve their chances in the draft lottery. Those fans may be out of luck as the Raptors have won five of their past six at home, with the only loss coming when Vince Carter hit the heartbreaking buzzer-beating three for the New Jersey Nets Jan. 7. 那里有更多的球迷希望暴龙(14-28)继续他们的连败之旅，因为能增加他们抽中乐透的 机率。那些球迷可能感到运气不好，因为暴龙队在之前主场的比赛中六场赢了五场，而 那唯一输掉的一场就是在一月七号对上篮网时被Vince Carter buzzer-beater。 The Raptors, of course, never will say die in the playoff race, despite the fact their remote chances took a big hit with their 1-4 record out West. Stranger things have happened -- a team under .500 has a decent chance of making the playoffs in the East -- but the Raptors are much more pretender than contender. After all, not many playoff teams allow a guy to score 81 points against them, as Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant did on a magical Sunday in Hollywood. 暴龙队，当然，从未对打进季後赛说放弃，尽管事实上他们在西部之旅中拿下了一胜 四败。罕见的事情发生了--一支球队胜率低於五成在东趋势有可能打近季後赛的--但是 暴龙队在那之中像是一个伪装者而非竞争者。毕竟没有太多的季後赛球队允许一个人 在对上他们的时候拿下81分，就像洛杉矶湖人队的球星Kobe Bryant在那个神奇的星期天 在好莱坞所做的。 Still, the players are looking forward to coming home, beginning tonight with a game against the Chicago Bulls. 尽管如此，球员们仍然盼望回家，在今晚展开对抗芝加哥公牛队的比赛。 "No other place to do it than to do it (go on a winning streak) at home," point guard Mike James said. "We've just got to be home and just come out and play hard." 「要展开连胜之旅，没有另一个地方比在家更好了。」得分後卫Mike James说。「我们回 到家并且努力打球。」 The Raptors looked tired in their trip-capping 107-101 loss against the Denver Nuggets Monday night. They returned home yesterday and took a day off from practice after playing five games in seven nights. 暴龙队在礼拜一晚上客场以107-101输给丹佛金块队的比赛中看起来感到疲倦。他们在昨 天回到家而且在接下来的7天五战前有一整天的休息。 "Any time you go 1-4 on a road trip, home cooking is good," Raptors swingman Jalen Rose said. "Hopefully, we can find a way to get a win." 「在任何时後你在客场打出了一胜四败，家里的饭菜都是美味的」暴龙队的摇摆人Jalen Rose说。「希望我们能找到赢球的方法」 The first game back from a long trip is dangerous. 在结束漫长的旅程後回到家的第一场比赛是危险的。 "Usually after a long road trip, the hardest game back is the first game," Rose said. "But when you get a schedule like ours, you only get a chance to play one. I'm pretty sure our crowd is going to be happy to see us and we've got to keep them in the game and give them something to be enthusiastic about." 「经常在漫长的旅途之後，最辛苦的比赛是第一场比赛。」Rose说。「但是如果你的赛 程像我们的一样，你就只有这个机会。」「我非常确定拥挤的球迷看到我们将会很高兴 ，而且我们将会让他们融入球赛，并且带给他们热情。」 The Raptors are right back on the road Friday for a game against the Milwaukee Bucks before swinging back to the ACC for four consecutive games. As Raptors coach Sam Mitchell noted Monday, a few wins in this stretch might be the final push that gets star forward Chris Bosh to the all-star game next month. 在星期五客场对抗公鹿後，暴龙队才刚回来，准备回到ACC打四场连续的比赛。就像暴龙 队教练Sam Mitchell在星期一提到的一样，在这个开头很难得到胜利，不过这也有助於 让队上的明星前锋Chris Bosh在入选下个月的明星赛。 February could be a big month for Bosh, who hopes to go to the all-star game and be selected for the U.S. national team's 20-man camp for the world championship 二月对Bosh来说是很重要的，他希望能入选明星赛和加入美国男篮代表队打世锦赛。 转学後就没看过英文书了，有错请见谅 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 说实在的，我也是那些球迷中的一群 不过我还是希望我们能打出令人尊敬的比赛... 当初选进CV的时候，我也是X声连连，不过他倒也不差 我当初的理想是Gerald Green or Danny Granger再加上Jarrett Jack 不过现在的 Villanueva Graham 和签进来的Calderon 已经很不错了 希望今年也能好好选... 最近暴龙真红啊XD --
