Sixers in need of a wakeup call Another loss down stretch like a bad dream 七六人该醒醒了。 —又是一场最後关头失守的败仗，这简直是一场噩梦— http://tinyurl.com/n2vyf By PHIL JASNER [email protected] Posted on Fri, Mar. 10, 2006 EVERY TIME the 76ers do this, you immediately flash to what could have been. If only they had finished opening night against Milwaukee. If only they had finished Sunday against Indiana or Wednesday night in Boston. 每当七六人的球赛以这种结局作收，你一定会马上回想，「结局如果是这样， 该有多好。」如果开幕战他们守住了胜利，击败来访的公鹿队；如果礼拜天， 能够击败溜马队；如果礼拜三，他们到波士顿能踢馆成功。 Or last night against visiting Denver. 或是昨晚作客丹佛的这场比赛，他们可以保住胜果。 It's always the same. The good Sixers show up and tease us. The bad Sixers, we have come to learn, are just waiting in the wings. You never know which you might see. They never seem to know. 他们总是有这种毛病。他们上场比赛让观众看的过瘾，这是七六人的好；而 我们已经了解，或是习惯了这种方式输球的比赛，这是七六人的坏。你从来 不知道你会看到哪一样结局，七六人似乎也永远不知道。 It's no fun waiting for Groundhog Day. But here it was again. A 15-point lead with 7:55 remaining in the third quarter, a seven-point lead at the start of the fourth. And all the time, you're waiting for the sky to fall. 等待春天的到来一点都不有趣，而且昨晚又是一个寒冷的夜晚。第三节结束前 7分55秒，七六人还领先15分。第四节开打，他们还保有7分领先整场。比赛下 来，你就是一直担心着，「他们会不会从天空掉下来。」 It did. The Sixers got outscored 22-8 in a stretch of the second half that included a 16-0 surge. They lost, 97-93. They experienced back-to-back sub-40 percent shooting games for the first time this season. They dropped below .500 (30-31) for the first time since Feb. 22. 果然如此。七六人下半场有一段22比8的攻势，包括一波16比0的猛攻。这场比赛 最後比数97比93，他们输了。本季第一次，七六人在B2B的比赛中，命中率都低於 四成。自二月二十二日以来，他们的胜率第一次跌破五成。 They invented a new way to go splat. Kyle Korver, one of the NBA's best three-point shooters, was 1-for-12 from beyond the arc, 3-for-16 overall. Allen Iverson put up 38 points, but was 3-for-10 in the fourth quarter. Chris Webber rallied from the embarrassment of being held out of the fourth quarter against the Celtics to generate 17 points and 20 rebounds, but shot 5-for-19. From a 93-93 tie, they collectively missed their last six shots. 七六人还发明了最新的降落方式。Kyle Korver是NBA最好的三分射手之ㄧ，他三分 球投12中1，整场比赛下来，出手16次，命中3球；Allen Iverson拿下38分，但是 第四节他投10中3；Chris Webber从先前对上塞尔提克队的比赛，坐满第四节板凳 的窘境中重新振作，得到17分20篮板，但是他投19只中5。当比赛来到93比93平手， 他们最後六次出手，全部落空。 "That's just the way it's been," Iverson said. "We've got to learn how to keep leads. We played real well for the majority of the game and collapse at the wrong time... It seems like a déjÀ vu type of thing. It seems like it happens the same way." Iverson表示：「一直以来，我们都是这样。我们必须要学习如何保持领先优势， 整场比赛大部分时间，我们打的很好，但是却在最後关头被击溃。这种似曾相似 的情况，总是以同样的方式发生。」 So, is it time for the players to meet behind closed doors and try and talk it out? 那麽，该是球员们关起门讨论，找寻解决之道的时候了吧？ "This is our 61st game," Iverson said. "We've done that enough... We already know what we've got to do." Iverson则说：「这是我们第61场比赛，这种讨论会议已经够多了…我们已经 知道在球场上，要做到哪些事情了。」 They've dropped their last three games by one, three and four points. At least they have been imaginative in their methods. 七六人最近三场比赛分别以1、3、4分，败下阵来。但至少，他们认为自己 已经步上轨道。 "I've never gone through this before," Webber said. "It's a bunch of new experiences for me... There's no one on the team to blame, so when I talk about frustration, I include all of us in that equation. Something has to be really good in store for us; it's all I can just hope. It's really unbelievable." Webber表示：「我以前从来没有经历过这种情形，对我来说，这是新的经验。 我们不应该指责队上某位球员。谈到这次挫败，我会同等看待每位七六人球员。 我们已经有一些很棒的的能力，这也是我可以冀望的事情。发生这种情况，简直 不可思议。」 But Webber insisted he had not become numb to the experiences. 但是Webber坚称，他对这种遭受逆转的情况，并没有麻木不仁。 "Numb is like getting used to it," he countered. "I haven't won championships, but I'm not a loser. I'm not like the 'Clipps' of the '80s, no. You can't get numb to this; that's what you've got to fight. That's what I've been fighting for a year and a half. This isn't who I am; this isn't who these guys are. You can never get used to that, because when you get used to something, that means you accept it. 他反驳说：「麻木不仁的意思是说，你已经习惯这种被逆转的球赛了。我没有 戴过冠军戒指，但是我也不是失败者。我不像也80年代的快艇队那样不堪一击。 不，你不能习惯这种输球方式，你必须勇於奋战，这是你该奋斗的部份。我在 这里奋斗一年半了，这不应该是我的表现，也不是队友们应有的表现。你绝对 不能流於麻木不仁，因为当你习惯某种东西，表示你已经接受它。」 "This still hurts. My family has been affected by it. Believe me, my friends have been affected by all this losing. I'm not used to this. It changes your whole lifestyle; it changes your enjoyment, it changes [your appreciation] of the little things in life that matter because it's just a game." 「以这种方式输球，仍会造成伤害，我家人也因此受影响。相信我，输球会对我 的朋友们造成影响，我并没有麻木不仁。只因为一场球赛，却会整个改变你的生 活方式，让你高兴不起来、让你对生活上重要的小细节失去兴致。」 Every recent night has become more than just a game. It has become a maddening search for answers that, so far, they haven't come close to finding. Last night , they had no answers for Carmelo Anthony, who had 29 points, or Ruben Patterson, who had 20, or Andre Miller, who had 12 assists, or Marcus Camby, who had 14 rebounds and five blocks. 最近每个晚上，已经变成不只是一场球赛，而是变成七六人几近疯狂的寻找答案 的过程。然而到目前为止，他们还不够团结一致，未能找出解决问题的方法。昨 晚面对攻下29分的Carmelo Anthony、拿下20分的Ruben Patterson、传出12次助 攻的Andre Miller，还有抓下14篮板、敲了5个火锅的Marcus Camby，七六人就是 找不到阻挡金块队攻势的答案。 Down 95-93, the Sixers had a chance to tie or go ahead, but DerMarr Johnson blocked a drive by Iverson. The Sixers retained possession when the ball went out of bounds, but Camby blocked a drive by Korver. That left Anthony to drop in two free throws with 4 seconds left to ice it. 处於95比93劣势的七六人，原本有扳平或超前的机会。然而DerMarr Johnson的 火锅阻挡了Iverson的上篮。球出界之後，七六人仍然保有球权，但是Korver的 上篮也被Camby封掉。比赛最後4秒钟，Anthony罚进二球，保住胜果。 "It's tough," coach Maurice Cheeks allowed. "I'm not going to dwell on it. If we lost three straight by 20 points, [would it be] worse? I don't know. We have to play the basketball we've been playing for 48 minutes. [These three games], we didn't play 48- minute basketball." Maurice Cheeks则承认说：「这真是难受，但我不会老是想着这场比赛，如果我 们连续三场比赛输了20分，就表示事实上这三场比赛，我们表现的不差吗？我不 知道。我们必须整场比赛48分钟都打的很好，这三场比赛会输球，就是因为我们 没有持续奋战到最後。」 Groundhog Day? All they can hope is, there isn't one scheduled Sunday in Memphis. 七六人的春天？他们只能希望，礼拜天不用飞到曼菲斯比赛。 --
