AUBURN HILLS -- The Detroit Pistons' 94-90 overtime loss to the Utah Jazz
on Saturday was the kind that players can't easily wash away.
奧本山報導：活塞禮拜六對上爵士，在一次延長賽後以94比90輸掉了。這是一種讓球
員不容易釋懷的敗仗。
The only way to fully cleanse themselves of that defeat is to do the only
thing they know how to do when a winning streak, even a modest two-game streak,
ends -- start another one.
想要完全擺脫這場敗仗的惟一方法，就是去做他們早就已經知道的，當連勝被中斷
時，即使是最少的二連勝，他們也要重新開始另一波連勝。
The Pistons have been one of the best in the NBA this season at bouncing
back from a loss -- they have won each of the four previous games following a
defeat by an average of 13.5 points per game.
活塞是本季的最佳球隊之一，在輸一場球後總是能夠重新振作。他們每次輸球後總是
能夠以平均13.5分的勝分連贏接下來的四場比賽。（有錯請指正）
However, only one of Detroit's four previous losses was followed by a road
game.
然而，過去活塞的四場敗仗中，只有一場是客場。
The Pistons (26-5, 12-3 on the road) aren't that concerned about getting
back on a winning track away from The Palace. In fact, they embrace the notion
of traveling to Oklahoma City on Tuesday to play the New Orleans Hornets, who
have won three of their last four games.
活塞（至今26勝5敗，客場12勝3敗）並不會去回想他們過去在主場的輝煌戰果（…還
是客場？away是修飾Palace還是winning track？）實際上，他們把焦點放在禮拜二對奧克
拉荷瑪黃蜂的客場戰，黃蜂在過去的四場比賽贏了三場。
"We love the road," said Pistons point guard Chauncey Billups. "We love
playing in opposing buildings. We've been like that for years. We love to take
on that challenge."
小畢說：「我們喜歡打客場。我們喜歡在敵隊的場館中打球。我們喜歡這樣已經好幾
年了，我們喜歡這種挑戰。」
Detroit's chances of beating the Hornets increased with the news that point
guard Chris Paul, one of the NBA's top rookies, sustained a right thumb injury
that will sideline him for at least a couple weeks.
活塞打敗活黃蜂的利多，來自黃蜂今年的頂尖新人控衛，克里斯．包（哈哈）。他因
右手大姆指受傷，必須作壁上觀至少兩週。
Even at full strength, the Hornets would have their hands full against the
Pistons, who seem to play with greater focus following losses.
即使正在贏球的勢頭上，黃蜂仔仍然會摩拳擦掌地準備，對抗正處在敗戰陰影中的活
塞眾。
"We definitely have to get something going now," said Pistons forward
Tayshaun Prince. "New Orleans has been playing great. We definitely have to try
and build some type of momentum."
小王子說：「我們必須讓球隊動起來。紐奧良最近打得不錯，很明顯的我們必須要試
著找到我們原本的氣勢。」
The Pistons have reason to be concerned with Rasheed Wallace's technical
foul total, which is now 10. But, it was two early personal fouls on Wallace
that were a factor in the loss to the Jazz.
活塞得要注意溪蛙的T，有10次了。而且，對爵士輸球那場，溪蛙過早個人兩次犯規，
是輸球的原因之一。
"He never had a chance to get in (to the flow of the game)," said Detroit
coach Flip Saunders, whose statement was similar to comments often made by
ex-Pistons coach Larry Brown the past two seasons. "He felt they (officials)
were kind of on him the whole time. He made some big shots late, but he never
really got into any kind of flow."
老桑說：「溪蛙常常不在比賽的狀況中…」這跟活塞前兩季的教練布朗爺常說的一
樣：「他竟覺得裁判應該整場都會對他很友善，他在比賽後期會投進一些重要的球，但他
幾乎沒辦法融入比賽中。」
Although the Hornets have struggled this season, they have a couple of
players other than Paul who are in the early running for postseason awards.
儘管黃蜂本季還處在後段班，他們還有兩個包兄以外的球員已經開始在爭取年度獎項
了。
Third-year forward David West is making a strong case for the league's Most
Improved Player award, while point guard Speedy Claxton is a contender for the
Sixth Man of the Year award.
三年級生前鋒，大衛．西方，展現了爭取聯盟最有進步獎的企圖心；而控衛史必蒂．克雷
斯騰（好爛的音譯）也是年度最佳第六人的角逐者。
West is averaging 16.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game while
playing 35.7 minutes per game. And Claxton, who lost a hard-fought battle for
the starting point guard job to Paul, is averaging 13 points, 2.9 rebounds and
4.3 assists per game.
西方大俠每場平均上場35.7分鐘，繳出16.8分、7.8籃板、1.4助攻的成績。而克雷斯
騰雖因為跟包兄競爭失利，沒辦法成為先發控衛，不過每場仍有13分、2.9籃板跟4.3助攻
（好強啊）。
The Pistons have now lost two of three overtime games this season, with
both defeats coming at The Palace and the lone victory (106-104) coming at
Memphis on Dec. 19. "I guess overtime games haven't been good for us," Prince
said.
活塞今年三場延長賽輸了兩場，兩場都是在主場，惟一贏的一場是12月19號在曼菲斯
（106-104）。小王子說：「我想延長賽對我們來說不好打吧。」
請多多指教！
