By SEKOU SMITH 文章出處:The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 03/18/07 Indianapolis — If the Hawks are serious about making a late push for the playoffs, and as of this moment their sincerity is in doubt, they'll have to give a better showing than they did Saturday night. 如果老鷹隊還想在最後關頭加緊馬力挺進季後賽，他們往後的賽事必須超出週六的表現。 The Indiana Pacers didn't even bother sparring with the Hawks before tearing them to pieces during a 113-90 loss/St. Patrick's Day massacre at Conseco Fieldhouse. 就在聖派翠克節前夕，溜馬隊不費吹灰之力以113-90大敗老鷹隊。 The Pacers snapped their losing streak at 11 games, their longest since a 12-game slide in 1989, and pushed the Hawks' skid to two straight. 溜馬隊於此役前累積11連敗，為1989年12連敗之後的最長紀錄，溜馬中止連敗並讓老鷹 嘗到二連敗。 After winning four straight home games without leading scorer Joe Johnson, who remains sidelined with a bruised right calf, the Hawks have been run off the floor by both Boston and Indianapolis on the road. Both the Celtics and Pacers have losing records. 再失去扭傷右腿的JJ後，老鷹有著四連勝的戰績，但之後卻接連敗在處在連敗局面的 塞爾蒂克與溜馬隊手中。 "It definitely got to our heads," Hawks reserve guard Salim Stoudamire said after Saturday's disastrous performance. "Before the Boston game there was all this talk about Atlanta making a run at the playoffs. And as soon as that was on the airwaves, we came out and stunk it up." Stoudamire賽後表示"我們近期的表現使大家對我們殺進季後賽充滿信心，但是我們馬上 就搞砸了。 That's the PG-13 description of what the Hawks did Saturday. The Pacers were up 15 points before the Hawks worked up a lather, and by the time they really buckled down and started to play, the Pacers' lead had grown to a comfortable 25 points. 那是Stoudamire對週六表現的註解，比賽剛開始溜馬領先15分，然而當老應開始進入狀 況時，溜馬已經把比數拉大到底定局面的25分了。 Hawks coach Mike Woodson warned his team that the Pacers would play with a sense of urgency. His warnings couldn't fix the Hawks' porous defense, though. 老鷹教練試著警告全隊溜馬此役必定帶著極強的危機意識，但他的警告沒有喚起老鷹充 滿漏洞的防守 Woodson mentioned Josh Smith, Josh Childress and Marvin Williams by name when citing the Hawks' lackadaisical defensive effort. Their Pacers counterparts — Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy and Danny Granger — combined for 62 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and three steals. 教練特別提到Josh Smith,Josh Childress和Marvin Williams三人差強人意的防守， 導致了對手Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy和Danny Granger合得62分，13籃板，5助攻， 4阻攻及3抄截。 "We struggled from beginning to end," Woodson said. "But I thought our three young guys were awful tonight, especially defensively. I can't take anything away from Murphy, Dunleavy and Granger because they played well. But we were just so non-competitive at those positions. And it's unacceptable. You can't come out and play like that. 我們一直處在奮鬥，但我想我們三位年輕小夥子今晚的表現很糟，特別是防守不足，對手 的表現太好了，但我們真的沒有用心，我們不能用這種態度打球。 "If you're struggling to score points, you better make sure they're struggling to score. But they were shooting 60 percent [62.5] at the half. And you're not going to beat any teams in this league without a defensive presence. We were awful tonight defensively, and that's on me." 如果你得分很困難，你也要讓對手得分很困難，但他們三人得了將近全隊一半的分數， 我們不可能不靠防守而打敗聯盟任何ㄧ隊，我們今晚的防守糟透了。 Childress admitted it would be hard to argue with Woodson's harsh assessment, which was highlighted during his halftime speech and finalized after the game. Childress對教練半場及終場的評語難辭其咎。 "All the guys we guarded were above their averages," said Childress, who finished with 11 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. "That's not acceptable. Us three as defenders, we're better than that. And we should take it upon ourselves to make sure we don't give guys nights like this." Childress說我們防守的三人超乎他們的平均表現，我的數據只有難看的11分，10籃板， 5助攻，這是很糟的表現，我可以做的更好，我比須保證不會再犯同樣的錯誤。 As ugly as these last two losses have been for the Hawks (26-41), they're still confident they can correct whatever went wrong. 目前老鷹26勝41敗，但他們仍對自己很有信心。 "This loss is not discouraging," said Smith, who led the Hawks with 16 points, 11 rebounds, five blocks and five turnovers. "It happens during the course of a long season. But the key to winning on the road is controlling the tempo. If you can do that, you have a pretty good chance of winning the game. We've been able to do that lately at home, but not these last two games. "We had two winnable games presented to us and we didn't capitalize on either one. Smith說我們的失敗並不會讓我喪志，這樣的失敗總會發生，在客場比賽的關鍵就是掌握 節奏，我們將在稍後的主場調整好腳步。這兩場是我們能贏但未贏的比賽 -- 當我在聽西貝流士的時候 有一個女生再聽伍佰的搖滾樂 此刻樹是搖擺樂的樹 --
