Pacers Shut Down Cavs By Conrad Brunner | Nov. 24, 2005 at Conseco Fieldhouse There were Thanksgiving reunions, familial and otherwise, all over the arena. 在感恩節的夜晚，球場上四處可見到團聚的畫面，不論是家族或是朋友。 Reggie Miller made his first return to Conseco Fieldhouse since retiring last May. Mike Brown came back for the first time as a head coach. Best Lithuanian buddies Sarunas Jasikevicius and Zydrunas Ilgauskas were on opposing sides. Another former Pacers player, Al Harrington, watched from the stands; his Hawks face the Pacers Friday night. Reggie Miller在退休後首次踏入 Conseco Fieldhouse。 前溜馬教練團成員 Mike Brown 以騎士隊總教練的身分回到熟悉的場地。立陶宛出身的兩位ＮＢＡ 明星球員 Sarunas Jasikevicius 和 Zydrunas Ilgauskas因為這場比賽得以碰頭。 前溜馬隊球員 Al Harrington也在場邊看球，明晚他將跟老鷹隊一起對上溜馬。 But it was the somewhat less-than-cordial re-uniting of two of the league's most dynamic players that took center stage. Ron Artest, the best perimeter defender in the game, won the battle with LeBron James, perhaps the game's most threatening scorer, and the Pacers were able to dominate Cleveland 98-76 Thursday night, snapping the Cavaliers' eight-game winning streak. 但是，球場上也有另一場聚會，一場不是那麼歡樂、友善的聚會。這是聯盟 最具有爆炸性的兩位球員，Ron Artest，聯盟最強悍的鋒線防守球員，勝過 LeBron James，也許是聯盟最具威脅性的得分好手。而溜馬也因此能夠以 ９８－７６的成績勝過騎士隊，終止他們的八連勝。 Artest scored 21 points while spearheading a team defensive effort that harrassed James into 6-of-20 shooting. Though he scored 19 points, adding 10 rebounds, five steals and four assists, he committed six turnovers and was never a force. In fact, he missed his first eight shots and 12 of his points came after the Pacers built a 21-point lead in the third period. Artest攻下２１分同時擔任防守時的箭頭，他領軍下的團隊防守讓 James投 ２０中６。雖然 James攻下１９分１０籃板５抄截４助攻，他還是發生６ 次失誤，比賽中一直沒辦法穩定發揮。事實上，他前面八次出手通通沒進， 有１２分是在第三節溜馬將比數差距拉開到２１分後才進帳。 "We played a great team game, helping each other out at both ends of the floor," said Artest. "We felt we had to do this because we had given away three other games and we could not let that happen tonight." Artest說：我們打出一場漂亮的團隊作戰，在進攻、防守時都相互扶持。 會這麼做是因為之前已經輸了三場球，我們不想再發生那樣的事情。 The Pacers won their third in a row to improve to 7-3 because of a team defensive effort. Cleveland had averaged 108.5 points during its winning streak but was held to a season-low-tying output, shooting just 37.7 percent rom the field and committing nearly twice as many turnovers (18) as assists (10). 溜馬靠著團隊的防守拿下三連勝，戰績進步到７勝３敗。騎士隊在八連勝 時平均每場攻下１０８．５分，今晚卻平了本季球隊新低，命中率只有 ３７．７％，發生１８次失誤，幾乎是助攻的兩倍（１０助攻）。 "We're a good team, but we're not a great team yet," said James. "Indiana has been here for awhile. They have the type of team that we're trying to be - guys that have been together for a few years and have learned to play well with each other." James說：我們是支好球隊，但不是偉大的球隊。溜馬已經是聯盟中的中堅 份子，他們就是我們效法的對象－一群已經相處幾年，學會如何跟隊友配合 打出好球的球員。 Any notions of a Cleveland comeback were put to rest by Jasikevicius, who scored 14 of his season-high 17 points in the fourth quarter. Jermaine O'Neal battled foul trouble but scored 15 points with nine rebounds and two blocked shots. Stephen Jackson scored 14 with four rebounds and two steals, Jamaal Tinsley added 11 points and seven assists, and Austin Croshere had 10 points and six rebounds. 騎士隊反攻的嘗試通通被 Jasikevicius給擋下，他在第四節攻下１７分中 的１４分，這也是他本季得分新高。Jermaine O'Neal 陷入犯規的困擾中， 但還是攻下１５分９籃板２阻攻。Stephen Jackson 攻下１４分４籃板２ 抄截。Jamaal Tinsley攻下１１分７助攻。Austin Croshere攻下１０分 ６籃板。 "It seems we always play better against better opponents," said Jasikevicius. "I think we're more motivated." Jasikevicius說：看來，我們對上強隊時打的比較好，也許對上強隊比較 讓人有動力。 Drew Gooden scored 16 and Larry Hughes 13 for the Cavs. 騎士隊Drew Gooden攻下１６分Larry Hughes 攻下１３分。 The Pacers sent an important message early. O'Neal picked up his second foul less than 4 minutes into the game but Croshere stepped in nicely, enabling Indiana to take a 25-15 lead into the second quarter as the Cavs let slip a golden opportunity. The lead swelled in the second quarter, and the 47-30 margin at the half matched the biggest in the game to that point. The Cavs shot 25 percent in the half as James and Hughes combined to go 2-of-14. Cleveland got no closer than 13 in the second half. 溜馬在比賽一開始就送出強烈的訊息。O'neal四分鐘不到就兩犯，但是Croshere 立刻站出來，讓溜馬在第一節結束時取得２５－１５的領先。第二節，差距繼續 被擴大，半場時４７－３０的差距已經是開賽最大的一刻。上半場騎士隊只有 ２５％的命中率， James跟 Hughes兩人出手１４次只命中２球。騎士隊下半場 始終沒有辦法將差距縮小到１３分以內。 "It was a disappoining start with two first-quarter fouls on Jermaine," said Coach Rick Carlisle, "but the rest of the guys pulled together and got us through the quarter in great shape, which I thought was a key to the game." 溜馬教練Rick Carlisle說：看到 Jermaine開賽就兩犯令人失望，但是全隊 齊心協力打完第一節，而且打得很好。我覺得那是比賽的關鍵。 ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ DOT-COM DOTS: 賽後隨筆 Rookie Danny Granger turned in a significant performance with six points, three rebounds and three assists off the bench. Granger had not played in two straight and three of four but this was by far his most encouraging showing. ... 菜鳥新人Danny Granger打出一場好球，替補上場攻下６分３籃板３助攻。 他已經連續兩場沒有出賽，過去四場比賽也只有上場一次。這是到目前 為止最精采的表現。 Jonathan Bender was inactive once again. After an encouraging summer and preseason, Bender has made just two appearances totaling 21 minutes because he's been limited by knee pain. "He's hurting right now," said Carlisle. ... Jonathan Bender 仍然無法上場。在充滿希望的夏季以及季初表現後， Bender 至今只有出賽兩次２１分鐘，一切都因為膝痛。教練Carlisle說：他目前 傷勢正痛。 Jeff Foster responded well to his first two practices of the season but Carlisle said he'd take "a cautious tack" toward bringing him back to the active list. Foster has targeted the upcoming five-game Western Conference trip for his return. Carlisle said that "is possible." ... Jeff Foster 本季頭兩次練習情況良好，但是教練Carlisle說他會採取審慎的態度 來看待 Foster重返球場的時機。 目前Foster準備在接下來西區客場五戰中出賽。 教練說：很有可能會是那時候．．。 Foster and Eddie Gill joined Bender on the inactive list. ... Foster和 Eddie Gill加入 Bender在未啟用名單的行列。 Anderson Varejao, Martynas Andriuskevicius and Ira Newble were the Cavs' inactives. 騎士隊這邊則有Anderson Varejao、Martynas Andriuskevicius 和Ira Newble 在未啟用名單中。 ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ 〔本場焦點球星〕 Ｒｏｎ　Ａｒｔｅｓｔ：攻下場上最高２１分，外加５籃板 〔不可忽視的努力〕 Ｓａｒｕｎａｓ　Ｊａｓｉｋｅｖｉｃｉｕｓ：第四節攻下本季個人新高１７分 當中的１４分，全場三分線投六中五。 〔難纏對手〕 Ｌｅｂｒｏｎ　Ｊａｍｅｓ：１９分１０籃板５抄截４助攻一阻攻， ６次失誤、投２０中６。 〔場上傳真〕 教練RICK CARLISLE："I thought defensively we had one of our better efforts. This is a nightmare team to defend because of their ability to slash at the wing positions and their ability to shoot from long range. Fortunately they were missing some they normally make but our guys were playing as hard as they could possibly play on the defensive end and that may have contributed to it." 我想這絕對是我們表現傑出的一次比賽。騎士隊是防守方的夢魘，他們鋒線球員 得分能力跟外線炮火令人頭皮發麻。還好，今晚他們有幾球失常，我們球員努力 的防守可能是讓他們失常的原因之一。 ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ 接下來： 感恩節二連戰將在週五畫下句點，對手是老鷹隊。 數字會說話： 禁區得分．溜馬３２騎士２８ 快攻得分．溜馬８騎士４ 第二波進攻．溜馬１６騎士９ 靠對手失誤得分．溜馬１４騎士１０ 先發得分．溜馬６３騎士５４ 替補得分．溜馬３５騎士２２ 說故事時間： １．自１９９４年起，溜馬隊感恩節全都在主場比賽，戰績９勝２負 ２．有Reggie Miller在場邊播報時，溜馬戰績２勝０敗。 ３．騎士隊之前連勝時平均攻下１０８．５分，今天卻被溜馬壓制到平本季最低７６分 ４．溜馬在主場對上騎士隊時已經七連勝。 ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ 只能說．．．感恩節快樂^^ --
