Posted on Sun, Jan. 08, 2006 Sixers score plenty; defense is basket case By Joe Juliano Inquirer Staff Writer http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/basketball/13577115.htm Aaron McKie, a former 76er, likes to fire up the satellite dish and watch his old team play every chance he gets, and he finds something significantly different in their style of game these days. 前七六人球员Aaron McKie喜欢去打开小耳朵观看他所能够看到的前球队的比赛，这些天 来，他发现这个球队有很不同的风格。 "One thing the city [of Philadelphia] and probably you guys [reporters] always had a problem with was us playing ugly basketball," said McKie, now with the Los Angeles Lakers. "Now they're putting a lot of points on the boards, but they're playing no defense, so what do you want? 「这个城市和你们这些记者总是觉得我们的比赛很难看，」现在在湖人的McKie说，「现 在他们很会得分，但是没有防守，那你们想要什麽？」 "Y'all saw ugly basketball when we scored 75-80 points and won the games. Now they're putting points on the board but... " 「当我们得75到80分而赢得比赛，你们都看过这种难看的比赛。现在他们得很多分，但是 …」 McKie didn't have to finish the sentence. The Sixers are losing because, through 33 games, they have yet to find a way to be consistent with their defensive effort from game to game. McKie不需要说完这句话。33场比赛过去了，七六人还是输球，他们还没有从比赛里找出 如何一直做好防守的方法。 No one is saying it has to be the same way it was in Larry Brown's day, the era to which McKie was referring, when the Sixers used to grind on every defensive possession and win a healthy majority of their games. 没有人说必须用像布朗爷在的时候一样的方法，那个McKie提起的时代，过去七六人一向 乏味地努力防守，然後赢很多场比赛。 But an inability to get stops at key moments was the primary reason the Sixers suffered through a 2-5 stretch on their seven contests away from the Wachovia Center, and why the team returned to Philadelphia yesterday with a sub-.500 record. 但是在关键时刻无法阻挡对手是他们七场客场之旅只带回2胜5败的主要原因，也是为什麽 这个球队回到费城後，战绩不到5成。 The Sixers could have reversed that record had they been able to take care of business on the defensive end late in games at Atlanta, Portland and Utah. Their last two losses were by 20 and 26 points, against a team (Phoenix) and a player (Kobe Bryant) competing at the top of their games. 如果他们可以在Atlanta、Portland和Utah的比赛里早一点专注於防守，战绩将会巅倒过 来。最後两场分别输给太阳20分和湖人26分。 Defense, anyone? 有人在防守吗？ "We've got to get some stops," Allen Iverson said Friday night after the Sixers closed their trip by getting hammered, 119-93, by the Lakers. "We've got to somehow find out how to play a certain way on defense every night. We don't have an identity as far as how we play on the defensive end. We might play well one night, and the next night we might not play well." 「我们必须阻挡对手，」在礼拜五，七六人以119比93被湖人重击後Iverson说。「每晚我 们都不知道如何找出一些防守方法，我们没有明确的防守重点。可能这一场打得好，下一 场就打不好。」 The Sixers allowed 100 or more points in five of their seven games and lost four of those five. The Lakers established season highs for shooting percentage (58.5), three-pointers (13) and field goals (48) by a Sixers opponent, and Bryant's 48-point performance was the most against them all season. 七六人在七场里有五场被得了100以上的分数，五场里输了四场。在七六人的防守下，湖 人打出了本季最高的命中率(58.5)，投进最多的三分球(13)和最多的进球数(48)，还让 Kobe得到48分－七六人本季被个人得的最多分。 "Defensively, we've got to step it up a little bit better and focus more on that instead of on the offensive end," said Andre Iguodala, who had his hands full all night with Bryant. 「我们巳经加强一些防守了，也投入更多的心力去取代攻击，」整晚都黏着Kobe的Iggy说 。 Rebounding continues to be a sore spot. The Sixers are 3-16 when they grab fewer rebounds than their opponent. Center Samuel Dalembert followed up his career-high 22-rebound night against Phoenix with a four-board effort against the Lakers. 篮板依旧是一个痛处。当七六人篮板抢输对手时，战绩是3胜16败。中锋Dalembert在对太 阳抓下生涯新高的22个篮板後，对湖人只抓下4个篮板。 The Sixers remain the second-highest-scoring team in the NBA with a 102.1-point average, but even that aspect of their game is showing some cracks. After having turned the ball over 18 times just once in their first 28 games, the Sixers committed 18 or more turnovers in four of their last five, averaging 16.6 over that span. 七六人以102.1分继续位居联盟团队得分第二，但是他们的比赛仍然有一些缺点。在前28 场比赛里，只有一场失误达到18次，可是在最近的五场比赛里有四场失误18次以上，平均 16.6次。 In addition, the Sixers did not do a great job of sharing the basketball on the road. They dished out 28 assists in each of their two victories, but they averaged just 14.4 assists in their five defeats. 另外，在这趟旅程里，分球也做得不好。赢的两场比赛分别各有28个助攻，但是输的五场 里，平均只有14.4个。 "We're obviously a better team when we can break, but we can't break if we don't get stops," said Kyle Korver, who hit better than 50 percent of his three-point tries on the trip. "But it seems like in the half-court set we're pretty predictable. We're not running our plays sharply. 「当我们可以打出快节奏的比赛时，我们明显是一支好球队，但是如果无法阻挡对手进球 ，我们打不出快攻，」在这个旅途里，三分命中率超过五成的Korver说，「但是我们的半 场攻势似乎被看破了，我们没办法顺畅地执行。」 "So if you're not going to break, you've got to be more precise in your half-court offense, and I don't feel like we're that precise with that either right now." 「所以假如没办法打快，你必须有更精确的半场攻击，而我不觉得现在做得很明确。」 The Sixers, who return to practice today, play five of their next six games, and eight of their next 10, at the Wachovia Center beginning with tomorrow night's matchup against the Seattle SuperSonics. 今天，七六人回费城练习，准备在家迎战接下来六场里的五场，接下来十场里的八场主场 比赛，明晚对抗超音速队将开启序幕。 To hear Maurice Cheeks tell it, the Sixers "have to get better and keep trying." 听看看Cheeks说什麽，七六人「必须做得更好并继续尝试。」 "It wasn't great; we'd hope we'd do a little better," the coach said of the road trip. "We had chances to win. I think that's been the mark of our season so far." 「这不好受，我们希望我们可以做得更好一点，」Cheeks在旅途中说，「我们有机会赢。 我想这是我们本季的缺点。」 It's an old, familiar refrain. And the Sixers need to do something about it pronto. 这是一个长久而熟悉的问题。而七六人需要尽速处理这些问题。 "You take all the negative things that happened on this trip and you try to turn them into something positive," Iverson said. "Mo has to find out what his role is in doing that, and us as a team have to find out what we need to do to change all the negative things. But if we don't come together as a team and talk about different situations, then it won't happen." 「在这趟旅途中，你遭受了一些负面的事，而你要试着把这些变得有建设性，」Iverson 说，「Mo必须找出在做这些事时他自己的定位，我们球队也必须找出如何改善这些缺点的 方法。但是如果我们没办法团结一致，各说各话，这些不将发生。」 -- 快找出方法吧！ --
