Pistons-Magic Game 1 preview 活塞vs魔術 第一戰賽前分析 Put away the brooms 拿開那隻掃把！ The Pistons will win this series in five games. So why not predict a sweep? This current group never has swept a playoff series. They've gone up 2-0 six times but lost Game 3 each time. 　　活塞將在五場內拿下這個系列賽。所以，為何不預測橫掃呢？因為目前的這隻隊 伍從未在季後賽橫掃對手，他們曾有六次以2:0領先，但每次都在第三戰輸球。 The last seven-game series the Pistons swept was the 1989 NBA Finals against the Lakers. That season, the Pistons swept three of four series while going 15-2 in the playoffs. The only losses were to the Bulls. 上一次活塞在七戰四勝制的系列賽橫掃是1989年的決賽對湖人。那一季活塞在四 個系列賽中橫掃了三個，以15勝2負的成績結束季後賽。唯一的兩場敗戰都是輸給公牛。 The following season, the Pistons swept the Pacers in a best-of-five first-round series. 隔季，活塞在第一輪五戰三勝的系列賽中剷平了溜馬。 A big factor 關鍵因子 How big has Dwight Howard been for the Magic? He's their bona fide star, averaging 17.6 points and 12.3 rebounds. But more to the point, how big can he play against the Pistons? For the Magic to have a shot, Howard must be dominant. Dwight Howard在這一次能為魔術帶來怎樣的偉大表現？他已是他們最重要的球星 ，平均17.6分外加12.3個板子。但是，更重要的是他能在對戰活塞的時候發揮出多少 本領？魔術想要帶來驚奇，Howard必須要打出他的禁區宰制力。 To the point 控球後衛 There is an anticipated mismatch at point guard. The Pistons have Chauncey Billups, who owns a NBA Finals MVP trophy. The Magic counter with Jameer Nelson. He's a nice player who can shoot. But he has zero playoff experience. 在控球後衛這個位置上預期將有一個mismatch。活塞有Chauncey Billups─ ─一位拿過決賽MVP的控衛，魔術的應戰人選則是Jameer Nelson。他是一位能夠 投射的好球員，但是他的季後賽經驗是零。 Here's the head-to-head breakdown between Billups and Nelson: 這裡提供一些Billups和Nelson放對時的數據︰ FG-A Pts. Asst. Billups 34-54 26.0 5.5 Nelson 15-41 12.5 5.0 Test of time 時間證明一切 Do you remember the "catastrophe" that befell the Pistons following the 1999-2000 season? Grant Hill snubbed Detroit to sign with Orlando. It was supposed to be a great day for Magic fans. Orlando also signed Tracy McGrady from Toronto. The Pistons were stuck with Ben Wallace and Chucky Atkins, obtained in a sign-and-trade for Hill. 還記得99-00球季後降臨在活塞的大災難嗎？Grant Hill 拒絕了活塞和魔術簽約 。這對魔術迷來說真是美好的一天。同時魔術還從多倫多那裡搶走了 Tracy McGrady 。而活塞呢？只有從Grant Hill的先簽後換交易得到的Ben Wallace及Chucky Atkins。 So who'd have predicted: 所以，有誰預測到接下來發生的事？ Since then, the Magic are 262-312 (.456) and have not won a playoff series in three attempts. 在那之後，魔術的戰績是262勝312負(勝率.456)，三次打進季後賽全都吃了敗仗。 The Pistons are 357-217 (.622), won the 2004 title, advanced to Game 7 in '05 and have advanced to the Eastern Conference finals four straight seasons. 活塞打出了357勝217負(勝率.622)，得到04年的總冠軍，05年殺到決賽第七戰並 且連續四年挺進聯盟冠軍戰。 Up-Hill struggle Hill，掙扎中 Grant Hill, arguably one of the league's bright stars during his Pistons days, never has been healthy with the Magic. He suffered an injury to his left ankle in his final season in Detroit and stubbornly played in the playoffs, perhaps in part because of fan grumbling he was soft. Grant Hill，在活塞時被認為是聯盟的閃耀巨星，在加入魔術隊之後就從未健康 過。他在最後一季為活塞打球時左腳踝受傷但是仍然硬撐著上場，這可能也是後來他 被球迷們埋怨太軟弱的一部分原因。 He's endured five ankle surgeries since. 他在那之後動了五次的踝關節手術。 Here's a look at Hill's two careers: With the Pistons: Six seasons, 435 games, 21.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 6.3 assists With the Magic: Seven seasons, 200 games, 16.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists 這裡是Hill兩段生涯的一些比較︰ 在活塞︰六季，435場球，平均21.6分7.9籃板6.3助攻。 在魔術︰七季，200場球，平均16.4分4.7籃板3.1助攻。 Close call 只差一步 The last time the Pistons and Magic met in the playoffs almost turned into a disaster. 上一次活塞和魔術在季後賽交手幾乎成為一場災難。 The Magic, behind the shooting of Tracy McGrady , jumped to a 3-1 first-round lead in 2003 before the Pistons pulled a trick out of their hat. 魔術在Tracy McGrady的投射帶領下以3比1在2003年的第一輪取得領先，直到活 塞在他們眼前表演了精采的戲法。 They cooled off a tiring McGrady and blitzed the Magic by an average of 103-83 the next three games to advance. 他們凍結了令人感到棘手的McGrady，閃電般地以平均103-83的比數在接下來三 場擊敗魔術晉級。 By the way, Grant Hill did not play in that series. 順道一提，Grant Hill在那個系列賽並未上場。 Where's Darko? Darko人咧？ What do the Pistons and Magic have in common? Darko Milicic barely played for Detroit, and it appears he won't play tonight for Orlando. 活塞和魔術有什麼共同點呢？Darko Milicic在底特律很少上場，明顯地他今 晚也無法為魔術有所貢獻。 Milicic suffered sprained right foot and spent much of the week wearing a protective boot and on crutches. 右腳的扭傷阻撓了Milicic並讓他花了幾乎一週的時間穿上保護鞋並拄著拐杖。 It's a damaging blow to the Magic, who need another big body to help Tony Battie and Dwight Howard contend with the Pistons. 這對魔術帶來了傷害，他們需要另一個大個兒幫助Tony Battie和Dwight Howard 阻擋活塞大軍。 Here are Milicic's statistics vs. the Pistons this season: 這裡有一些Milicic本季對活塞的數據︰ FG-A Pts. Asst. 9-23 5.8 5.0 -- 這篇排版排得七零八落的 orz -- 望著妳走，一轉身又是寂寞 --
