AUBURN HILLS -- Don't quit on the Pistons. If they are going to go down to the
Heat in the Eastern Conference finals tonight, you should go down with them.
奧本山--不要放棄活塞。如果他們要與熱火在今晚浴血苦戰，你應該與他們一起。
This team has fought too hard the past three years for its fans and city to run
and hide as soon as the going gets tough.
這支隊伍過去三年為球迷和底特律如此奮戰，當挑戰來臨，不會逃避。
Two years ago, many believed they wouldn't be able to beat the mighty Los
Angeles Lakers -- with Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson -- in the
NBA Finals.
兩年前很多人不相信他們在冠軍戰能擊敗有俠客、摳比和教練傑克森的強大的湖人。
Granted, it seems like a zillion years since that team defied the odds and did
what nobody thought was possible.
不得不承認，那支無所畏懼達成不可能任務的隊伍似乎看來是很久以前了。
The current version just seems off, maybe even tired, if not out of gas.
現在的這一隊看來像心不在焉，也許很疲勞，如果不是完全沒戰力。
But when you talk to the Pistons and interact with them in the locker room, you
don't get the sense they aren't willing to fight, even though they trail 3-1 in
the series. Often, you can tell if a team is done just by body language alone.
但是當你到更衣室與活塞隊員交談，你並不認為他們已經不想戰鬥，即使現在3比1落後。
通常從球隊的肢體語言就可以看出還有沒有希望。
It's not the case.
這個隊並不是這樣。
"We've put ourselves in this situation so many times, being down, going up in
the series and then the other team coming back and taking advantage in the
series, obviously it's catching up with us," Tayshaun Prince said. "But like I
said, it's not over."
「我們已經很多次碰到這種情形，在系列賽中拉鋸，然後別的隊來了可能又是同樣戲碼。
很明顯現在對手將我們逼到這種情形，」小王子說。「但如我說的比賽還沒結束。」
Mission impossible? Nah
不可能達成的任務？不是的。
At this point, it seems improbable the Pistons will come back, but it's not
impossible.
目前活塞要反敗為勝機率很小，但並非不可能。
That's what you have to hold on to. We've seen comebacks in sports over the
last couple years no one thought possible.
你必須堅定信念。過去幾年我們在運動賽事已經看過一些浴火重生達成反敗為勝的例子。
The Red Sox rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win four straight from the Yankees
two years ago. That was a first for baseball.
紅襪在兩年前從0比3落後連勝四場擊敗洋基。那是棒球的第一次。
During these playoffs, the Suns trailed the Lakers, 3-1, and won three straight
to advance.
在季後賽，太陽從1比3落後湖人連勝3場晉級。
So it can happen.
所以是有可能。
But the Pistons are going to have to play better in a hurry.
但是活塞要趕快打好一點。
"We've got to look at this as a one-game series the rest of the way," Chauncey
Billups said. "We've got to play one game and then think about the next one.
「我們得將剩下的比賽當成單場系列賽，」畢勒普斯說。「必須一場一場來。」
"If we don't focus in on that one game, then the season will be over."
「如果不專心在一場上，本季就結束。」
You still get the sense the Pistons can come back and win, just because they
have so many times. Plus, basketball is a funny game. If they just started
knocking down some shots, things can change in a hurry.
你依然感覺活塞可以追上獲勝，因為過去有很多次了。再說，籃球很有趣，如果開始
進了幾顆球，局勢很快會改變。
Don't blame the defense
不要苛責防守
The problem is not the defense. The Pistons have allowed fewer points in the
first four games against the Heat than they did in last year's series that was
tied after four games.
問題不在防守。比起去年在四場後打平，活塞在前面四場比賽讓熱火得到更少分數。
If the Pistons win tonight, the pressure would shift back to the Heat to close
the series at home in Game 6 on Friday.
如果活塞今晚贏，壓力就會轉到熱火那裡，他們會想將系列賽在週五第六戰結束在主場。
The Pistons could take chances and play desperate. Often, the toughest teams to
defeat are the ones with nothing to lose. Plus, the Pistons won Game 7 in Miami
last season in the conference finals.
活塞可以放手一搏。通常沒有籌碼可輸的隊伍是最頑強的隊伍。此外，活塞上季在分區決
賽在邁阿密贏得第七戰。
"One play can change a game, one game can change a series," coach Flip Saunders
said. "Basically what we've got to do is come up with that play at home and try
to change the series."
「一球可以改變一場比賽，一場比賽可以改變一個系列賽，」教練桑德斯說。「簡單說我
們需要在自家將那一球作出來然後想辦法扭轉局勢。」
The Pistons have never quit on you.
活塞從未放棄你。
That's why you shouldn't give up on them in their darkest moment, facing their
biggest challenge.
所以你不應該在此時他們背水一戰時放棄他們。
