Before this season began, O'Brien understood the communication lines had to be open with Iverson. The Sixers have struggled at times with rotation problems, injuries and receiving consistant play from their youngters like athletic swingman Iquodala, outside gunner extraordinaire Kyle Korver, shotblocker Samuel Dalembert and potent scorer Willie Green, but in the center of it all, Iverson has had nothing less than an MVP-caliber season, and kept the Sixers in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. 季赛开始之前，O'Brien深知必须与Iverson保持良好的沟通。进入球季後，七六人 不时面临着轮替问题和伤病队员的困扰，而活力四射的摇摆人Iguodala、精灵弓箭 手Kyle Korver、火锅店小开Samuel Dalembert、和得分能手Willie Green等年轻 球员的表现也一直起起伏伏。但身为中流砥柱的Iverson，依然交出了一张MVP等级 的球季成绩单，使七六人始终握有东区季後赛的竞争资格。 "There are a lot of great players in this league, but I'm fortunate to be coaching one every night in Allen," O'Brien said. "He plays every game like it's his last and likes a challenge." 「联盟里的好手很多，但是能够每晚带Allen比赛，我觉得很幸运。」O'Brien说： 「他把每场比赛都当最後一场打，而且不怕任何考验。」 The chaenllge of playing point guard has been daunting at times for Iverson. While his assists are way up, his turnovers are way up, as well. He committed a League/season-high 12 turnovers against the Warriors on March 8 and followed that up with an 11-turnover performance against the Bulls on March 19. 对Iverson来说，控球後卫本身有时就是严峻的考验。个人助攻数字飙高的同时，失 误次数也节节攀升。三月八日对勇士的比赛中，他整整失误了12次，既是联盟也是球 季最高纪录；不久，三月十九日对公牛之後，他的个人数据里又多了11次失误。 On the positive side of the stats ledger, he led the league in scoring, averaging more than 30 points per game. And AI's creative passing ability has been put on full display - he's averaging 8 assists per game, good for fifth in the NBA. To be fair, it's inaccurate to label Iverson a point guard - in his own words, he's just a guard. And how many 6-foot, 165-pound guards can put up huge numbers like that every night? 幸好他的数据表上也有光明的一面。他以每场超过三十分的平均，高居联盟得分王的 宝座。另外，他创意十足的传球功力也得到了充分展现的机会--每场八次助攻，排名 全联盟第五。凭良心说，叫Iverson控球後卫并不准确--依照他的讲法，他的位置就只 是後卫。那麽，有多少身高六尺、体重165磅的後卫，可以每天晚上交出像他一样漂亮 的数字呢？ One: The Answer. 只有一个：The Answer。 <待续> --
