Sherrod Blakely Tuesday January 06, 2009, 12:20 AM LOS ANGELES -- The Detroit Pistons subscribe to the "one game at a time" mantra, which is why their goal is to focus on Wednesday's opponent, Portland. 活塞認同「一次專注一場比賽」這口號，所以他們現在的目標焦點該放在星期三的 對手-拓荒者身上。 But there are some matchups, no matter how far down the schedule, in which this strategy is put to the test. 但有些比賽不管還要多久以後才打，這口號只能先擺一邊。 Friday's game against Denver and former Piston Chauncey Billups, is one of those. 星期五對金塊，也就是前隊友槍蜥的比賽就是其中一場。 It will be the first time since the November trade that Detroit will face its former point guard and team captain. 這會是十一月的交易後活塞第一次面對到他們的前控衛也是前隊長槍蜥。 Antonio McDyess, who was included in the trade with Denver but returned to Detroit after agreeing to a buyout, said he talked with Billups, a good friend, on New Year's Day. 被含括在交易中，買斷後回到活塞的袋鼠表示，他和好朋友槍蜥在新年那天才聊過。 "We didn't talk about (Friday's) game or playing in it," McDyess said. "But I know him. He's looking to have a good game against us." 「我們沒去談（星期五的）比賽。」袋鼠說。「但我瞭解他。他期望在對上我們時 能有好的表現。」 Pistons forward Amir Johnson added: " It's probably going to be like when Ben (Wallace) left -- just say, 'What's up,' and then play the game and battle it out, try and beat him." Amir補充到：「這或許就像是班蛙離開始那樣，打個招呼後好好打比賽，打敗他。」 Allen Iverson, who came to Detroit via the Nov. 3 trade with the Nuggets, said, "It'll be different, but I've been in this league for a while. And I've seen Chauncey in a bunch of uniforms. So it'll just be another thing to me." 交易後來到活塞的AI則說「感受會不太一樣，但我已待在這聯盟一段時間了。我看過 槍蜥穿過一些球衣。所以對我來說這也只是另一件罷了。」 Not so for Joe Dumars, the Pistons' president of basketball operations. Dumars則不這麼想。 Detroit's unprecedented run of six consecutive trips to the Eastern Conference finals or NBA Finals began with the 2002-2003 season. 活塞史無前例的連六年闖進東區冠軍戰始於2002-2003球季。 Dumars' first transaction leading to that season was signing Billups, a free-agent point guard who had played for five teams in five NBA seasons. Dumars在那個球季前的第一項措施是簽下在五個球季流浪了五支NBA球隊的自由球員 控衛槍蜥。 A journeyman up to that point, Billups went on to have six successful seasons as a Piston. 當時的旅人槍蜥在接下以活塞人之姿打出六個成功的球季。 He become a three-time all-star (2006, '07 and '08) and NBA Finals MVP in leading Detroit to an NBA title in 2004. He was named to the NBA's all-NBA team twice ('06 and '07) and the NBA's all-defensive team twice ('05 and '06). He also was on the short list of players for a spot on this past summer's Team USA Olympic team but withdrew from consideration shortly before the final cuts for personal reasons. 他成為三度明星隊（2006、07和08年），2004年帶領活塞奪冠的同時拿下冠軍戰MVP 。兩度入選NBA的all-NBA team（06和07年）和防守隊（05和06年）。他還在去年暑 假入選美國奧運隊，直到最後因個人因素退出。 "There will always be nothing but great emotions for me with Chauncey," Dumars said. 「我和槍蜥一直有很好的感情。」Dumars說。 Emotions aside, Dumars went into this season looking to make at least one major change to his core group, which included Billups, Richard Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince and Rasheed Wallace. 把情感放一邊，Dumars這球季前想把至少一位包括槍蜥、Rip、小王子和 Sheed在內 的核心球員交易掉。 Although all four were talked about at some point this summer, Billups seemed the most likely to be traded due to the emergence of Rodney Stuckey as a rookie last season. 雖然四個人都被討論過，但上季Stuckey菜鳥的出頭讓槍蜥似乎成為最有可能被交易 的人選。 "We all miss Chauncey," said Stuckey, who has averaged 22.9 points and five assists per game in Detroit's past seven games -- all wins. "But it is what it is. We're going to try and come out and win the game." 「我們都想念槍蜥。」最近七場比賽平均22.9分 5助攻的Stuckey說。「但事情就是 這樣。我們會試著好好贏得比賽。」 Dumars acknowledged that in his conversations with Billups, he made it known that if Dumars were to trade him, the Denver native said he would prefer to play for his hometown team. Dumars坦承在和槍蜥的談話中槍蜥讓他知道，如果Dumars要交易他，這位丹佛人表示 他會希望能為家鄉球隊效力。 There had been on-again, off-again rumors involving a Billups-Iverson trade for weeks, but the Pistons did not pull the trigger on the deal until the early hours of Nov. 3. 牽涉到槍蜥和AI的交易傳聞談了幾個星期，但活塞直到11月 3日才扣下扳機。 Before Billups' arrival, Denver lost three of its first four games. Since then, the Nuggets are 22-9 and in first place in the Northwest Division with a 23-12 record. 在槍蜥入隊前金塊頭四場比賽輸了三場。之後金塊的戰績是22-9，23-12的戰績是西北 區第一名。 "I am extremely happy for him," Dumars said. "He and I are in contact with each other often, texting each other back and fourth. My feelings for him personally will never change. As a basketball player, I'm happy to see him back home playing well. I'm happy that he's there with his mother and father now, with his family. That situation with Chauncey is more than just a basketball player that we moved, because I have some personal feelings for him." 我為他感到特別的開心，」Dumars說。「他和我常有聯絡，簡訊來來回回。我對他個 人的感受永遠不會改變。身為一個籃球員，我很開心看到他回家後打得這麼好。我很 高興他在那和爸媽，家人團聚。因為我對他有些情感，槍蜥這樣的處境不只是一個被 我們交易的籃球員而已。 交易後數據比較 Chauncey Billups Allen Iverson Nuggets' record: 22-9 Pistons' record: 17-11 ‧ PPG: 18.1 ‧ PPG: 18.2 ‧ APG: 6.8 ‧ APG: 5.6 ‧ SPG: 1.4 ‧ SPG: 1.8 ‧ RPG: 2.4 ‧ RPG: 3.7 --
