Sixers - Stefanski on way to finding out how to fix his team http://0rz.tw/ca3yH By PHIL JASNER Philadelphia Daily News [email protected] SAN ANTONIO - The 76ers were right here in the Alamo City, but where were they really? At the start of another torturous trip? In the midst of the same one? In the middle of nowhere? 七六人在哪？你可能会说在 Alamo 市。不过我们要问的是，这支 球队现在的处境究竟为何？是另一段客场恶梦的开始？或是仍然在 噩梦当中？或是处於茫然不知所措？ In truth, as they lost, 89-82, to the San Antonio Spurs last night, they were in all of those difficult, maddening places at once. They are holding a season-worst seven-game losing streak, which began at Utah during their six-game Western swing. 事实上，当他们昨晚败给马刺队之後，以上艰困、令人不快的处境 他们都经历过了。正处於本季最糟的七连败之下，七六人将在犹他 展开另一段六场比赛的西游记。 The losing streak includes a disappointing loss at the Wachovia Center to the Milwaukee Bucks, another the following night at Toronto, then another at home to the Chicago Bulls, in which the Sixers gave up an 18-point, first-quarter lead. 连败当中包含了令人失望的主场负於公鹿，接着泪洒多伦多、 主场再败给公牛，还是在第一节领先 18 分之多的情况下输掉 比赛。 But this is no time to take a deep breath and hope for the best; last night's game dropped them to 14-24, 7-13 on the road, and was only the first of three straight on the road, continuing tonight in Houston and Friday night in (shudder) Boston. 不过现在没有机会深呼吸展望未来了；昨晚的比赛让他们的战绩 来到 14 胜-24 负，客场战绩是 7 胜-13 负，而且这还只是另 一个客场三连战的开端，包含今天晚上在火箭主场的比赛以及星 期五晚上造访塞尔蒂克主场。 The degree of difficulty of this three-game set: The Spurs, Rockets and Celtics are a combined 34-13 at home and 75-35. 这三场赛程难度从战绩可见一斑：他们总合 75 胜 35 负，主场 战绩是 34 胜 - 13 负。 To new Sixers president/general manager Eddie Stefanski, all of the above represents nothing more than the sheer reality of the circumstances he knew he was accepting when he left his position as general manager of the New Jersey Nets to succeed the fired Billy King. 对新任七六人总管 Eddie Stefanski 来说，以上种种都没什麽啦！ 都是他接下这个工作时所了解到的现实处境。 "There's nothing different [now] in our thought process," Stefanski said in a telephone conversation. "We're X-number of players away from the level where we want to be. This is nothing I didn't know when I took the job." "目前跟我们所想像的没有太大差距，" Stefanski 在电话中表示 " 我们离我们想要成为的球队还差好几个球员的距离。目前没有什麽 是我接下工作时我不知道的。" With the Feb. 21 in-season trading deadline approaching, Stefanski said, "There's nothing real hot right now." 当交易截止日渐渐迫近时，Stefanski 表示 "现在没什麽动静。" That includes anything of real substance concerning point guard Andre Miller, the Sixer most wanted by other teams. 当然这包括任何关於控球後卫 Andre Miller 的消息，因为他是 七六人中其他球队询问度最高的。 "We'll go to the trade deadline looking to improve, but there will be no changes for the sake of change," Stefanski said. "我们会设法在交易截止日前改善球队体质，不过我们将不会为了 改变而改变。" Stefanski 如是说。 Offers from contending teams are likely to improve as the deadline gets closer, but Stefanski is carefully weighing the value of any of them against the necessity of having an experienced quarterback to direct the younger players. 力图竞争季後赛席次的球队会在交易截止日之前端出更多牛肉，不过 Stefanski 会审慎估量这些提案的价值以及留下这位控卫来领导年轻 球员的需要孰轻孰重。 Stefanski declined to comment on the status of coach Maurice Cheeks, but a source familiar with the situation indicated that he was not considering a move in that area. Cheeks, to his credit, has done a strong job of keeping the players together and playing hard; he encouraged Thursday's players-only meeting, telling them it was probably something they needed. Stefanski 拒绝对 Maurice Cheeks 发表言论，不过根据知道内情 的人指出他没有意思要在这个位置上做更动。Cheeks 擅长於让球员 凝聚在一起并认真打球，他在星期四只有球员参加的会议里鼓励他们 ，让他们了解到或许开个会是他们所需要的。 Stefanski has examined the recent slide as realistically as possible. "On the trip out West, there were four games where we were probably prohibitive underdogs," he said. "The others we've lost, we're making no excuses, but this has been a rough stretch. Stefanski 已经尽可能了解近来球队不振的真相。"在西征的途中， 有四场对战组合我们看起来都像较弱的一方，"他表示 "输掉的， 没什麽藉口可说，不过这真的是很硬的一段赛程。" "At the same time, I think the younger players have gotten invaluable experience and have been thrilled with the opportunity to be on the court; we don't want to keep losing, but that court time has been invaluable." "同时我想年轻球员也自中获得无价的经验，并且因为获得上场的 机会感到雀跃，我们不愿意再输，但是上场机会是无价的。" (这是告诉我们练兵中，请快转到六月吗？) Of first-round draft choices Jason Smith and Thaddeus Young, Stefanski said: "Jason has shown he's an NBA player, and since I've been here, Thaddeus has improved every game. Both have shown signs of being very nice players." 对首轮新秀 Jason Smith 和 Thaddeus Young，Stefanski 表示 " 自我来到这里以来，Jason 已经表现得像一名 NBA 球员。Thaddeus 也每场比赛都在进步。他们两位都展现出成为好球员的迹象。" "I understand the frustration level," he said. "We've just got to keep competing every night; we've got to get over the hump. And we can't have 13-point quarters [as in the second period of Friday night's loss to the Bulls]." "我知道那种挫折的程度，"他表示。"我们过去每晚都力图一拼， 我们也一同走过艰苦的旅程。而我们不能再一节只拿 13 分啦！" The next step in the seasonlong process, he said, is to take another long look at second-year swing man Rodney Carney and "see what he's all about." Carney, who was in the rotation last night, had appeared in only one of the previous four games and had been placed on the inactive list Jan. 6 in Denver. 在季赛中下一步要观察的就是二年级摇摆人 Rodney Carney， "看他到底有几斤几两"。 昨晚有上场的 Carney 在前四场比赛 只露面过一次，并且在 1/6 那场对金块的比赛里被放到未登录 名单。 After that, they are likely to offer more minutes to Gordan Giricek, though they have no plans to re-sign the swing man acquired from the Utah Jazz in the cap-relief deal for Kyle Korver. "We have a core of players we like," Stefanski said. "We've made no changes from the plan we've had." 之後，他们可能会让 Gordan Giricek 多打一点时间，虽然他们 应该没有计画要续签这位来自爵士的摇摆人。"We have a core of players we like," Stefanski 表示 "我们不会背离我们既有的计画。" -- ”I want to win a ring. I want to have the opportunity to get back to the Finals. All that matters is us getting into the playoffs, because then, anything can happen.” ～ Allen Iverson --
