Hamilton listens to Dumars Rip乖乖聽Dumars的話 He stops 'relaxing' and wakes up in his scoring with 54 points in the last three games. 他停止"放鬆"，在過去三場比賽中"醒來"，拿下了54分。 Chris McCosky / The Detroit News SALT LAKE CITY -- Richard Hamilton was sick of hearing about it before Joe Dumars pulled him aside last week. 在Dumars在上星期把他拉到一旁說教前Rip 對於那些說他"放鬆"的說法感到厭倦。 Hamilton has established an unwanted tendency the past couple of years of relaxing and allowing his game to taper in the period after the All-Star break and before the playoffs. Rip在過去幾年，在明星賽後到季後賽前的這段期間有放鬆的習慣。 "There's different circumstances for all of that," he said earlier this season when the topic came up. "Trust me, if I felt my team needed me to score 20 points a night to win, I could." "情況完全不一樣啦"稍早這個話題開始被提起時他是這麼解釋的，"相信我，只要我 感覺到球隊需要我拿20分才能贏球的話我就會幫忙的啦。" Still, after two uninspired performances in two losses right after the break -- he took just 14 shots combined and made five turnovers -- Dumars casually pulled him aside and mentioned it might be time to break a bad habit. 在明星賽後兩場敗仗他總共只出手14次還出現 5次失誤之後，Dumars 把他拖到一旁 ，告訴他該改掉這個壞習慣了。 "Yeah, Joe talked to him a little bit," coach Flip Saunders said. "He just said, 'Let's not relax.' "對啊，Joe跟他談了一下，"自己講都沒有用的老桑說。"他就說『那我們不要放鬆了 吧。』" Hamilton responded. After scoring an efficient 16 and 18 points, respectively, in victories against Milwaukee and Phoenix, he ignited the Pistons in Denver on Monday, scoring eight of his 20 early in the fourth quarter. 於是在接下來兩場勝仗他分別拿下了16和18分，星期一對金塊的比賽他還在第四節 剛開始拿下他20分當中的 8分。 "He just wasn't aggressive in the first couple of games (after the break)," Tayshaun Prince said. "Particularly down in Milwaukee. He took like (eight) shots. I don't remember a game where he took (so few) shots. 在（明星賽後）開始幾場比賽他就是沒那麼積極，" 都有在觀察隊友表現的小王子 說。"特別是在密爾瓦基的比賽。他好像只出手八次。 我不記得他有哪場比賽只有 這麼少的出手次數。 "We need him to be more aggressive on offense. When he's not, it hurts us because it makes everybody else have to be aggressive. When Rip is aggressive, he opens things up for everybody else." "我們需要他在進攻上更積極。如果他沒這樣做對我們會造成傷害，因為這樣其他每 個人就得要打得積極。當Rip 積極時其他人的機會都來了。" Hamilton has done more than score. He had eight rebounds and six assists in Denver and did a credible job pestering Allen Iverson. Sunday, he spent some quality time defending Steve Nash. Rip不只在得分上有貢獻。在丹佛的比賽他還有籃板和進攻，防守AI也做得超好的啦 。星期日他還花了不少時間守Nash。 "The last three games, he's really stepped it up," Saunders said. "He's got into a rhythm and he's had work at the defensive end, too." 最近三場比賽他真的啟動了進攻模式，"哀怨的老桑說。 "他找到進攻節奏而且還努 力防守呢。" Hamilton is also developing a productive court rapport with rookie Rodney Stuckey and the second unit. Hamilton scored three straight baskets early in the fourth quarter, running the Pistons' 2-chest play with Stuckey. It looked like they had been running the play for years. Rip也可以當菜鳥Stuckey及板凳部隊的鵝媽媽啦。Rip在第四節初連三次得分，還和 Stuckey跑了2-chest play。看起來就像他們倆已經練過好幾年了。 "It's really important for him to be aggressive when Chauncey (Billups) goes out of the game, so there's not too much pressure on Stuckey to make plays," Prince said. "Same for when I'm out there with him. We have to try and do some things to where Stuckey won't get caught with the basketball and have to force things. That's where Rip was really huge (in Denver)." 在槍蜥下場時他的進攻就很重要啦，這樣Stuckey才不會有太大的壓力去執行戰術。 "小王子說。"當我在場上陪Stuckey 時也是一樣的情況。我們要多幫忙Stuckey他才 不會要勉強去做一些事。這就是（在丹佛）Rip的表現超關鍵的原因。" Jazz rule Speaking of breaking bad habits, the Pistons haven't won in Utah since an 80-78 victory Nov. 8, 2002. Their record in Utah since 1989 is a 2-15. 活塞另一個壞習慣就是輸大魔王爵士啦。自從2002年11月 8日以來活塞在猶他還沒贏 過阿爵呢。 Overall, the Jazz have beaten the Pistons five straight times. Three of the losses have been by four points or less, the other two were by 10 and 14 points. 五連敗中有三場差距在四分以下，其他兩場差距分別為10分和14分。 The Pistons are 22-8 against teams with a .500 or better record. They have beaten every team with a winning record except the Jazz. 二二八和平紀念日正是戒掉這個壞習慣的時候啦。 補上連結：http://0rz.tw/983GA --
