OPENING SHOW STOPPERS 开幕战，七六人展现坚强防守。 http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/15907909.htm By PHIL JASNER [email protected] Posted on Thu, Nov. 02, 2006 THIS WAS the revised, hopefully improved 76ers universe, in which Allen Iverson and Chris Webber don't have to dominate the offense, in which the Sixers don't have to depend on simply outscoring the opponents, in which defense and rebounding are the prime components. 希望这是七六人改造後的全新风貌—他们不需要靠Allen Iverson和Chris Webber， 独力扛起进攻责任；不需要只靠着强大的火力赢过对手—新七六人的构成要素， 就是防守与篮板。 Don't go anointing training camp and the preseason a success. Don't go jumping to any conclusions. This was only an 88-75 Opening Night victory over the overmatched Atlanta Hawks at the Wachovia Center. 但先不要把训练营与热身赛的成果神圣化；先不要急着下结论。这只是一场在 Wachovia Center，七六人以88比75击败亚特兰大老鹰的开幕战。 But if the Sixers are to be anywhere close to the team they insist they can be, this was as good a place as any to start. 然而，如果七六人要迈向他们坚持自己办的到的理想球队。那麽这场比赛，会是个 好的开始。 They limited the Hawks' penetration into the paint; they left the visitors shooting a weak 33.3 percent from the floor; they tightened their grip just enough in the fourth quarter to prevent any sort of really damaging run. 他们减少老鹰队杀入禁区的攻势，让客队的命中率降到33.3%。他们在第四节集中 注意力，进而避免被拉出造成伤害的攻势。먊 They did what they set out to do, and isn't that the point? 他们做到了他们想做的事情，这才是重点。 "We won the first game, and after last year's first game [an overtime loss to Milwaukee], this is a step in the right direction," coach Maurice Cheeks said. "I thought our defense was excellent. All the things we worked on throughout the preseason and training camp came into play. We tried to keep people out of the paint, hold their field goal percentage down. 教练Maurice Cheeks表示：「去年开幕战我们在延长赛输给公鹿队。今年第一场的 胜利象徵着我们站在正确的方向。我认为我们的防守非常棒，我们在训练营与热身 赛所强调的东西，这场比赛都有确实执行。我们试着不要让对手突破到禁区，然後 就会降低他们的命中率」。 "I'm talking about defense, because that's all we've been talking about. Defense is the reason we won this game." 「那东西就是防守。这是我们一直强调的，我们会赢这场比赛，靠的就是防守」。 Iverson and Webber, the NBA's highest-scoring duo last season, combined for a relatively modest 40 points. And that was just fine, because Iverson had 32, Andre Iguodala 15 and Samuel Dalembert 11. It was also fine because Webber (eight points) and Dalembert combined for 24 rebounds and four of the team's six blocks. 上季联盟最佳的双人组合Iverson与Webber「只」攻下40分，但没有关系，因为除了 Iverson得到32分，Andre Iguodala与Samuel Dalembert分别贡献15、11分；Webber 只拿下8分，但他和Dalembert一共抓下24颗篮板球，并包办全队6个火锅的其中4个。 "It certainly helps when you have Sam and Steven Hunter in the middle, keeping layups from going down," Cheeks said. "Late in the fourth quarter, [the Hawks] continued to play and they got some layups, but for the most part we were keeping the ball out of the middle." Cheeks说：「Sam和Steven Hunter站在禁区中央可以减少对方上篮机会，这真的 给我们很多帮助。虽然第四节後段老鹰队继续奋战，也得到一些上篮取分的机会， 但大部分的时间，我们都让球在外围流动，让他们没有杀入禁区的机会」。 Webber has made a career scoring in the paint, using a soft, floating jump hook as a go-to move. But when he went to it last night, it was AWOL. Still, when the Hawks - who trailed by as many as 23 - climbed within 82-71 late in the fourth quarter, Webber stepped back and drained a clutch 18-foot jumper. Webbe的生涯的得分大多在禁区之内，靠的是他招牌的小勾射，轻轻地将球送进篮框里。 但在昨晚关键的时刻，靠的仍然是他「不务正业」的跳投。第四节末段，一度落後 23分的老鹰队，将比数追成82比71。接着Webber拉到外面，投进了18尺的跳投。 He was 3-for-14 when he launched that shot. 投进这个中距离之前，他总共出手14次只命中3球。 "I love the fourth quarter," Webber said. "In the fourth quarter, I'm going to make those shots. I'm going to go home frustrated about missing shots, but if I were a Vegas betting man, I'd bet I make jump hooks all the time. You're going to have those nights. I think some of it was Opening Night energy; I rushed some, even when I had smaller guys on me. Webber说：「我爱第四节的比赛。我在第四节可以投进一些重要的球。对於那些 失手的球，回家後我也会感到挫折。如果这是一场赌局，当然一直以来，我会选 择以勾射的方式出手。你总会有一些表现不好的比赛，今天的比赛表现不好，我 想有一部份原因是开幕战让我操之过急。即使我面对较矮小的球员，还是有些投 篮仓促出手」。 "But you've got to deal with that. If I'm getting 50, I can't go home thinking I'm Wilt. I'm not going to go home thinking I'm less than [I am]. Last year, I had a great game [Opening Night], and we got a loss." 「但是你必须调整自己。如果我得到50分，我不会回到家里，想着我是张伯伦； 现在，我也不会回到家里，一直想着自己没有发挥应有水准。去年开幕战，我打 了一场好球，但我们输了」。 All of Cheeks' lectures and pointers since Sept. 30 had to be ringing in the players' ears. 打自9月30号以来，Cheeks的谆谆教诲，无时无刻都在球员耳边响起。 "We spoke so much about defense, talked so much about rebounding the ball, and obviously we did that," Iverson said. "And we played a little offense, too. That's the only way we're going to beat teams. It's hard to play when you've got to play halfcourt all the time. We've got to find some way to get stops, get rebounds, get easy baskets. Iverson表示：「我们一直讨论如何做好防守，如何加强篮板球。很明显地，我们 做到了，而我们在进攻上也有所斩获，这是赢球的不二法门。如果在比赛中一直 做半场的防守，会令我们陷入困境。我们必须找到阻止对方组织进攻的方法，设法 抢到篮板球，然後找到轻松的得分机会」。 "Seeing the fans come in [an announced 17,119], it felt like old times. I've been here 11 years, and that's kind of what I'm used to. Last year's, it wasn't like I wanted it to be. Honestly, it felt [like] home again, just the energy [of the crowd]. 「看到这些球迷进场（官方统计有17119人），我感觉好像回到了从前。我在这里 11年了，我也习惯这样的感觉，但是去年的观众人数跟我想像的不一样。老实说， 我好像又回到家里了，我感觉到球迷的活力」。 "It's the first time in a long time, just being nervous. I always have butterflies, whether it's an NBA game or a pickup game, but [I'm] never nervous. I wanted us to play well. I wanted to send a message to our fans. After not making the playoffs last year, the fans want what they deserved. 「这麽久以来，我第一次觉得紧张；不管是NBA的比赛、或是练习赛，我只会觉得 兴奋，从来不会紧张。我想让七六人打出好比赛，我想给球迷传送一个讯息。 去年我们错失了进入季後赛的机会，现在球迷们渴望他们想要的」。 "I just wanted them to feel like everything we've been saying as a team, we meant it about being better, smarter, a more aggressive team. First of all, I wanted to show ourselves we could do it, then prove it to the fans." 「我只想让他们感觉到，我们一直说要成为一支真正的球队，意思就是， 一支更好、更聪明、更积极的球队。首先，我想让队友觉得我们可以做的到， 然後进一步，证明给球迷看」。 --
