http://0rz.tw/904YY Spurs' defense makes smooth transition Web Posted: 11/02/2008 12:00 CDT By Jeff McDonald - Express-News To the disengaged scoreboard watchers throughout the NBA, results of the Spurs' first two games look awfully similar. 在看NBA记分板，Spurs前两场的结果是如此的相似 One was a 103-98 loss to Phoenix, the other a 100-99 loss at Portland. 一场在Phoenix以98-103输球，另一场99-100输给Portland The first came down to a potential game-tying 3-pointer that missed, the second came down to a potential game-tying 7-footer that suffered the same fate. 首先有机会一次三分球追平，但没进；第二次一个七尺投篮可以赢得比赛，但结果一样 To Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, however, those two losses were as disparate as night and day. 对Spurs教练Gregg Popovich来说，这两次输球是完全不同的 After the Spurs lost to Phoenix in the opener, Popovich left the AT&T Center seething about his team's lack of attention to transition defense — apathy that led Phoenix to score 15 points on dunks or layups. He was smiling as he left Portland's Rose Garden on Friday night, which should tell you all you need to know about his assessment of the Spurs' defense. 在开幕战输给Phoenix後，Popovich离开AT&T Center时对於球队忽视防守的轮转非常激动 ，Phoenix用灌篮或上篮得到15分。星期五晚上，离开Portland的Rose Garden球场时他微 笑着，那场比赛告诉他，关於Spurs的防守 “Between the beginning and the end of the game, the defense was really solid, ” Popovich said. “The first half, we really dug a hole with the boards and turnovers. But the defense was solid.” “在比赛时，我们有坚固的防守”Popovich说“上半场，我们的确遇上篮板球和失误的问 题。但防守的很好” The Spurs allowed 13 offensive rebounds and committed 14 turnovers against Portland. As a result, the Blazers attempted 14 more field goals than the Spurs, who lost despite shooting nearly 56 percent from the field. 与Portland的比赛，Spurs丢了13个进攻篮板、发生了14次失误。和结果符合的是， Blazers比Spurs多了14次出手机会，尽管投篮命中率接近56%，但仍然输了 Still, the Spurs finished the game better than they did against Phoenix, rallying from a 12-point deficit in the fourth quarter. They had a chance to win as time expired, but Michael Finley's 7-foot jumper skipped off the rim. 然而，相较与Phoenix的比赛，在结束时Spurs做的更好，在第四节克服了12分的落後。在 时间到点前有个机会，但Michael Finley错失了这个七尺的跳投 “That's a shot we would kill for any day of the week,” Popovich said. “Sometimes they just don't go in.” “那记投篮可以让我们赢下任何一天的最佳好球”Popovich说“有时候他们只是没有进” (kill for any day of the week，不知道我有没有弄错意思) Good start for Mason: Two games into his Spurs career, Roger Mason Jr. is proving himself to be a steady option off the bench. Mason好的开始：在Spurs生涯的前两场比赛，Roger Mason Jr. 正在证明他是稳定的板凳 选择 Mason scored 14 points in the loss to Portland, connecting on 6 of 7 field-goaltries. That came on the heels of a 12-point outing in the opener against Phoenix. 开幕战对上Phoenix有12分的表现。紧接着在输给Portland的比赛中，Mason7投6中，得到 14分 Mason has logged at least 29 minutes off the bench in each of the Spurs' first two games. For the second game in a row Friday, he was in the game during crunch time. 在头两场比赛，Mason从板凳出发，出赛均逾29分钟。星期五的第二场比赛，关键时刻他 仍在场上 Mason, signed from Washington in the offseason, says his acclimation to his new team is still “a work in progress.” Popovich expects Mason's role to grow as he gains confidence. Mason，季外从Washington签来，(Mason)说他在适应新球队上仍在进步中。当得到 Popovich信任後，期待Mason所扮演的角色可以更吃重 “Right now, he's trying to get comfortable and see where his piece of the pie is,” Popovich said. “He wants to fit in first, so he's tiptoeing around Timmy (Duncan) and Tony (Parker). “现在，他正试着找到自己在球队中的定位，且变得更愉快”Popovich说，“他想要先适 应，所以他慬慎的跟着Timmy和Tony” “I'd rather have to talk to him about taking a bad shot than have to beg him to shoot it.” “我宁可告诉他关於选择一个不好的出手，而不是叫他投篮” Chasing history: The Spurs are 0-2 for the first time in the Duncan era. When their season resumes Tuesday against Dallas, the Spurs will be aiming to avoid going 0-3 for the first time since 1973-74, when they started the season 0-4. 历史追溯：在Duncan的时期，Spurs头一次在前两场比赛都输球。星期二对上Dallas时， Spurs要避免自从1973-1974以来首次开季3连败，当时是0-4 --
