Finally, NBA recognizes top Pistons
NBA還是認同了今年的頂級球隊:「活塞」!!
February 2, 2006
BY KRISTA LATHAM
A few weeks ago, the Pistons felt slighted that despite their league-best
start, no player had been singled out for any NBA honors.
幾個禮拜以前,活塞眾們覺得被忽略了,儘管他們有著全聯盟到目前為止的最佳戰績,卻沒有任何一個活塞隊員得到NBA任何的獎項。
(譯按:我總覺得「singled」應該是「signed」…)
Then shooting guard Richard Hamilton was named Eastern Conference player of
the week.
然後,得衛RIP就成了東區單週的最佳球員。
Now point guard Chauncey Billups has been named Eastern Conference Player
of the month for January.
現在控衛小畢則是被選為一月份東區最佳球員。(我想當之無愧)
"That's a great, great honor," Billups said. "I've never got that before.
I've been player of the week, but player of the month is a lot tougher to get
because you have to do it over the course of four straight weeks."
「這可是一個超棒的,超棒的獎」,小畢說:「我以前從未得過這個獎項。我得過當
週最佳球員,但要得當月最佳球員可是困難得多,因為你必須連續四個禮拜都有比一般水
準要好的表現。」
Add another Eastern Conference coach of the month award for Flip Saunders --
he has swept the first three months, a franchise first -- and it's clear the
old we-don't-get-no-respect line isn't going to fly far this season.
還有東區當月的最佳教練則頒給了老桑 -- 他在開季的頭三個月橫掃了這個獎項,一
個好優的開季;而活塞們終於擺脫了,本季長久以來沒有受到尊重的情形。
"Like I said, I think a coach is as good as the players he has," Saunders
said. "You do have to drive them. You've got to make sure to put them in the
right situations. And we have a group that's very committed as far as what
we're doing."
「就像我說過的一樣,我認為一個好教練應該要跟他所擁有的球員一樣好。」老桑說:
「你必須去駕馭他們。你要確定他們都是被擺在正確的位置上。而且我們擁有一個會盡全
力合作的球隊。」
The NBA cited four games that clinched Billups' win. His 37-point,
nine-assist night against the Orlando Magic on Jan. 3, his 13 points and 16
assists against Boston on Jan. 16, his 27 points and eight assists at Minnesota
on Jan. 24, and his 23 points and 15 rebounds against the Milwaukee Bucks on
Jan. 25.
NBA因為小畢四場傑出的表現而選他當最佳球員:「1月3日對魔術37分、9助攻(啥麼
鬼數據…)、1月16日對塞爾提克13分16助攻、1月24日27分8助攻客場對灰狼,以及1月25
日23分15籃板對公鹿(控衛15籃板…)」
But there's more to what Billups did in January, during which the Pistons
went 13-2 and held opponents under 100 points in all but one game.
不過小畢在一月做的可不只這樣。在一月裡活塞可是得到了十三勝二敗的絕佳成績,
而且只有一場比賽讓對手得分超過100分。
"When our offense is functioning well, he knows who to get the ball to, he
knows where the mismatches are at," Saunders said.
「當我們的進攻運作的很好的時候,他知道誰手上應該要有球,他知道「錯配」(引
用球評詹啟聖之翻譯)在那裡」老桑說。
(譯按:錯配(mismatches)人人都知,只是尚無一個較通用的中文)
This is the first time a Piston won a player of the month award since Grant
Hill in January 1997.
這是自從紳士希爾在97年一月得到當月最佳球員之後,活塞隊第二次有人獲選當月最
佳球員。(哇哩咧…等了九年)
FACES IN THE CROWD: A fleet of the sports stars in town for Super Bowl XL
hit Auburn Hills to see the Pistons take on Minnesota on Wednesday.
在觀眾席中(不知有沒有翻錯):有一票第四十屆超級盃球星在活塞主場觀看週三活
塞對上灰狼的比賽。
USC running back Reggie Bush, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan
McNabb, Steelers coach Bill Cowher, and a slew of Super Bowl players showed up.
USC跑鋒瑞吉布希、費城老鷹隊四分衛杜南方.麥克納伯,鋼人隊教練比爾考核,還有
很多的超級盃球員都來到了現場。
Steelers Jerome Bettis, Ben Roethlisberger, Joey Porter and Hines Ward made
their way to their seats amid a round of applause near the end of the second
quarter, just as the Pistons started a 20-2 run.
在第二節快結束的時候,鋼人的貝提斯、阿班、波特、以及渥德讓通往他們座位的路
上充滿了掌聲與讚美,就在活塞打出20比2的開局時。
Saunders thought the run and the arrivals might have been related.
老桑認為說他們的到來跟活塞的開賽高潮有關。
"When you have other athletes (in the arena), you want to go out and you
want to perform," he said. "I'm sure that got them juiced up a little bit."
「當在場館中有其他優秀的運動員時,你會想要出去(恩…不會翻),而且你會想要
表現!」老桑說:「我確定這讓活塞眾們打得更出色!」
ROAD BREAKS: The Pistons leave today for a two-game, back-to-back trip to
Philadelphia and Indiana. They hit both teams at a good time. Guard Allen
Iverson has a sore ankle and is not expected to play Friday for the 76ers, and
Pacers forward Jermaine O'Neal is out two months with a groin injury. The
Pistons play Saturday in Indiana.
馬路消息:活塞隊將遭遇一個背靠背的比賽,對手是七六人跟溜馬。不過對到這兩隊
的時機都不錯。小艾腳踝受傷,禮拜五可能不會上場;小歐因為鼠蹊部受傷已經兩個月沒
上場,活塞則在禮拜六對上溜馬。
有翻跟沒翻一樣…下臺一鞠躬
已修正
真的只是盡「棉薄」之力而已,有夠棉薄
