There is no defending these losses 金塊連敗，看不到防守。 Four-game slide leaves Nuggets seeking answers 四連敗留下的問題，金塊必須尋找答案。 http://tinyurl.com/3auvr3 By Chris Tomasson, Rocky Mountain News February 26, 2007 MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Forward Carmelo Anthony says Nuggets players aren't on "one page." He says "everybody's in their own world." 前鋒Carmelo Anthony說金塊隊球員「並沒有站在同一陣線」，「每個人都在自己的世界裡打球。」 But there appears to be one thing everybody on the suddenly woeful Nuggets agrees on: They're not playing any defense. 金塊不堪一擊令人意外，有一項問題是大家獲得的共識；他們的防守形同虛設。 Many questions were posed Saturday after the Nuggets' fourth straight loss and third consecutive walloping. The answers mainly point to defense. 四連敗之中有三場被對手痛擊。禮拜六這一天他們提出許多球隊的問題，而問題的答案主要是指向防守不力。 Just listen to "The Answer." 聽聽「答案」怎麼說。 "We got to play defense," guard Allen Iverson said after a 115-95 loss Saturday in Dallas. "(Offense) ain't our problem. Melo is going to score his points. I'm going to score my points. We've got to get stops." 禮拜六敗給達拉斯小牛之後，後衛Allen Iverson表示：「我們必須專注在防守上面。進攻不是我們的問題，Melo可以拿下基本的分數，我也可以打出應有的進攻表現，因此我們必須阻止對方的攻勢。」 The Nuggets (26-28) have dropped to No. 8 in the Western Conference, and, if they lose tonight to the Memphis Grizzlies, could fall to No. 9 and out of playoff position. 26勝28敗的金塊隊戰績已經落至西區第八位，假如明天他們輸給曼菲斯灰熊，可能就會跌出八強之外，錯失進入季後賽的機會。 The atmosphere is different from the last time the Nuggets played the Grizzlies. 與上次二隊交手相比，現在的氣氛是截然不同。 That was Jan. 22, when Anthony returned from a 15-game suspension for his initial pairing with Iverson, acquired Dec. 19. The Nuggets manhandled Memphis 115-98, then won the next night in Seattle. 1月22日，Anthony結束了15場的禁賽，將首度與在12日19號交易過來的Iverson 聯手出擊。金塊隊最後以115比98痛宰灰熊，也贏得接下來在西雅圖的比賽。 All looked grand. 那時候看來，這對雙人組合情勢大好。 Hardly. 但是戰績剛好相反。 Since then, the Nuggets have lost seven straight games the two have played together. Counting the eight games Iverson sat out because of a sprained right ankle, the overall mark since the victory in Seattle is 4-11. 自此戰以後，這二名戰將的搭配已經連續輸掉七場比賽，如果把Iverson因為腳踝扭傷而缺席的比賽算進來，在西雅圖客場取得勝利之後，金塊隊的戰績是4勝 11敗。 "We ain't stopping nobody right now," Anthony said of the Nuggets, who have been outscored by an average of 15 points in three losses since the duo was reunited after the All-Star break. "We ain't losing by two or three points. . . . We're getting our (butt) kicked. Either we pick it up or we're going to be going home early." 明星賽之後，這對殺手組合重新連線，金塊隊卻吞下三連敗，而且每場平均敗給對手15分之多。Anthony表示：「現在我們阻止不了對方任何人得分。我們不是以二分或三分輸球，而是被對手狂電。我們不是贏球，就是提前打包行李回家。」 But is it just the defense? With guard J.R. Smith, the team's third-leading scorer, having missed the past two games after surgery on his left knee, the Nuggets haven't had a reliable third offensive option. 然而慘敗的原因只是紙糊般的防守？隊中第三得分手J.R. Smith因為左膝的手術已經缺席最近二場比賽，金塊隊也失去了另一個值得信賴的進攻選擇。 During a 114-104 loss Friday to the Utah Jazz, Anthony and Iverson combined for 69 points, and everyone else scored 35. Against the Mavericks, Anthony and Iverson combined for 60 points, and everybody else had 35. 禮拜五以114比104敗給爵士隊的比賽裡，Anthony與Iverson聯合攻下69分，其他隊友則是35分；至於小牛之戰，他們貢獻60分，其他人也是35分。 At least the supporting cast has been consistent. 這些配角的表現，倒是「穩定」提供少許分數。 "I knew that question was going to be asked," Nuggets center Marcus Camby said of the Nuggets not having much offense besides Anthony and Iverson. "Those guys are great. They take the majority of the shots, so there's not enough shots to really go around. We're going to score points. We just have to defend. We have to play better defense." 對於金塊隊除了Anthony與Iverson以外的其他球員得分表現不佳，Marcus Camby 說：「我知道會有人提出這個問題。這二個傢伙非常厲害，因此包辦了大部分的出手，並不會有足夠的出手機會，可以分配給其他球員。總之金塊隊是可以得分的，我們需要的是防守，必須要有更好的防守才行。」 So the word from the locker room is "D" is the key. 所以「D」字訣是休息室裡談論到的勝敗關鍵。 The supporting cast has combined to make 23-of-65 shots (35.4 percent) the past two games. And Anthony and Iverson, perhaps trying to do too much, combined for 16 of the team's 23 turnovers Saturday. 近二場比賽，金塊其他得分次角總計投65中23，命中率35.4%。禮拜六的比賽裡，也許是太過於把勝負一肩扛，Anthony與Iverson包辦了全隊23次失誤裡的16次。 "We're missing J.R., but it's our defense," Anthony said. "If we don't stop nobody, we're going to continue to get our (butt) kicked like the last couple of games." Anthony說：「我們想念J.R.，但事實上問題在於防守，如果我們阻止不了對方得分，像最近二場比賽一樣被對手慘電的狀況並不會改善。」 The Nuggets have been outscored by an average of 108-93 in the three losses since the All- Star break and have allowed opponents to shoot 48.6 percent. They looked on Saturday as the Mavericks scored a season-high 56 points in the paint. 明星賽之後的三場比賽，金塊隊與對手的平均得分是93比108，而且對手投籃命中率高達48.6%。禮拜六他們只能眼睜睜看著小牛隊拿下他們本季最高的禁區得分56分。 The talk has been it will take time for the Nuggets to mesh, with suspensions, injuries and two trades, most notably the one for Iverson, disrupting the season. But Anthony and Iverson are tired of hearing that. 近來各方的言論都指出，金塊隊融合是需要時間的，而禁賽、受傷、二個交易，尤其是Iverson，破壞了金塊本季應該有的表現。但是Athony與Iverson對於這種說法已經聽煩了。 It sounds as if they have compared notes. 這二個人的說法幾乎一致，好似他們有交換過筆記一樣。 Said Anthony; "I could sit here and make excuses, but we just ain't getting it done." Anthony：「我大可以大喇喇坐著，然後替自己找藉口。但事實上我們就是沒有贏球。」 Added Iverson: "We don't want to keep using that as an excuse. We've got to get it done right now." Iverson附和說：「我們不想要再拿這個理由當藉口了，我們現在就必須要把成績打出來。」 If the Nuggets lose tonight, they will fall three games under .500 and be at risk of dropping four under for the first time in more than two years. 如果金塊隊明天輸球，他們就會以三場比賽低於五成勝率。這樣他們就處於隨時都會打破二年多來，第一次不及五成勝率四場比賽落差的危險困境。 "Our major concern is our defense," forward Eduardo Najera said. 前鋒Eduardo Najera說：「我們主要關注的議題就是防守。」 The Nuggets appear to be on the same page when it comes to locker room talk. When they step on the court is when the problems start. 回到休息室之後，金塊隊的球員是達成共識了；而當他們回到場上，卻是問題開始浮現的時候。 Injuries: Nuggets - F Kenyon Martin (right knee surgery) and G J.R. Smith (left knee surgery) are out. Grizzlies - G Kyle Lowry (fractured left wrist) is out. 傷兵報導： ‧金塊前鋒Kenyon Martin右膝手術。後衛J.R. Smith左膝手術。 ‧灰熊後衛Kyle Lowry左指骨折。 ‧ Notes: Miller scored 41 points March 17 in the Nuggets' previous visit to Memphis, a 116-102 Grizzlies victory. . . . The teams have split two games at the Pepsi Center this season. . . . Camby grabbed 17 rebounds Saturday against Dallas after averaging 6.8 his previous four. . . . Karl has started Steve Blake, Linas Kleiza and Diawara next to Iverson in the backcourt the past three games. . . . The Grizzlies lost three in a row before a 103-102 win Friday in Portland. . . . The Nuggets have averaged 21.7 turnovers the past three games . . . . The Nuggets, who didn't practice Sunday, have won seven of nine in the series. 備註： ‧上次金塊作客是在去年三月17日，以116比102擊敗灰熊，Miller攻得41分。 ‧本季雙方在Pepsi Center二場比賽戰成平手。 ‧經過四場比賽平均只抓下6.8個籃板之後，禮拜六面對小牛隊，Camby抓下 17個籃板球。 ‧近三場比賽，Karl在後場陣容已經使用過SteveBlake、Linas Kleiza與 Diawara來搭配Iverson。 ‧禮拜五以103比102擊敗拓荒者隊之後，灰熊已經三連敗。 ‧近三場比賽金塊隊平均失誤21.7次。 ‧禮拜天金塊隊並沒有進行球隊練習，他們在與灰熊隊戰系列9場比賽裡面贏了7場。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.141.126.135
