Iverson's debut with Detroit undone by Harris' scoring spree
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- First, a disclaimer: It was only Allen Iverson's
first game with his new team, and we're not going to rush to judgment too
strongly either way on Detroit's newest acquisition.
Still, after witnessing 48 minutes of A.I. in a darker shade of blue, the
lasting impression from the first impression was this: What Pistons president
Joe Dumars did earlier this week was more about Rodney Stuckey than about
Iverson.
When Detroit needed buckets in the fourth quarter, it was Stuckey running the
show at the point, with Iverson off the ball.
And when the Pistons needed stops in the second half, it was Stuckey who
continually was getting burned by Devin Harris (career-high 38 points, with
22 of his 24 free throw attempts coming in a second half in which Detroit
surrendered 64 points to one of the NBA's worst teams). All that time,
Pistons coach Michael Curry refused to switch Iverson onto Harris -- even as
Stuckey was committing five fourth-quarter fouls on Harris.
第四節活塞需要得分時球在Stuckey手上 下半場守Harris的重任也在他身上,即便
即便他一直被Harris吃,即便第四節他已經五犯,還是沒換AI守他。
"Stuckey's the point, and Harris is the point. What we do here in Detroit,
you guard your position. And when he comes into the game, Allen slides to the
2. and if Devin Harris is outplaying you, you're going to have to get better.
That's what you're going to have to do -- play your matchup," Curry said.
MC說在活塞就是守你的位置。如果Harris打得比你好,你就得打得更好。
Iverson finished with a very respectable stat line of 24 points and six
assists, getting to the free throw line 13 times. He attempted eight of
Detroit's 21 field goal attempts in the final 12 minutes, but almost never as
the initiator of the offense.
帳面成績很不錯,但進攻幾乎不是他主導。
That job was Stuckey's, and over the final 8 1/2 minutes it was striking how
puzzling it seemed to have Iverson playing off the ball, setting up on the
perimeter along with Tayshaun Prince and Richard Hamilton to wait and see
what Stuckey could create. Iverson performed that role in Denver, too, but
that was with a point guard, Anthony Carter, whose biggest strengths are
playing defense and getting the team into its offense. And at this point in
their careers, it's fair to say Carter is every bit as good a point guard as
Stuckey is, except when it comes to scoring.
最後八分半鐘的進攻都由Stuckey指揮。
"I took what they gave me," Iverson said. "The whole thing coming in, from
Michael Curry and Joe Dumars, and even my teammates: They told me 'Don't
worry about fitting in here. Play your game. That's what you're here for. And
the only way I can help this team is to play my game."
Before this night turned into the Devin Harris show, the Pistons actually
played quite efficiently in their first 24 minutes with Iverson on board. He
was 3-for-3 from the field and 6-for-6 from the line at the half -- the free
throws coming after he drew contact attacking the basket -- as the Pistons
went ahead by as many as 14.
Iverson shredded the Nets' defense and found Prince open for a 3 that gave
the Pistons a 56-54 lead midway through the third, but New Jersey went ahead
by the end of the quarter and stayed in front throughout the fourth as
Detroit settled for too many 3-point shots (10 of their 21 attempts in the
quarter) in an offense that never found a rhythm. It was then that you said
to yourself: This is where Chauncey Billups used to be so valuable, and this
is where A.I.-- not Stuckey -- should be the one breaking down the defense
and opening up some space for his teammates.
第四節活塞三分投太多。應該是AI而非Stuckey來主導進攻才對。
Time will tell whether Curry gives Iverson a larger role in running the
fourth-quarter offense, and the bottom line of this trade is that it truly
cannot be judged until winter has come and gone, the regular season has ended
and we see whether the Pistons in the playoffs are a much more well-oiled
team than they appeared Friday night.
As I told Dumars before the game, I think the newer version of the Pistons
has a better shot at defeating the Cavs or Celtics in a seven-game series
than the older version did. But at some point, Curry is going to have to let
Iverson be Iverson -- even if it comes at the expense of Stuckey's
development.
筆者認為新版活塞有更好的機會對抗騎士和Celtics。但MC得讓AI做AI。
"I didn't try to force a whole bunch of things, but when I saw an opportunity
to strike, I did," Iverson said. "I'm satisfied with it. I'm pretty sure
that, as time goes by, I'll get more aggressive because I'll know my spots
and I'll know when to go to the basket and when to pull back."
But he'll need the ball in his hands to do either of those things, and unless
Curry decides to enable Iverson to do what he does best -- by putting the
ball in his hands early on offense and letting him lend a hand defensively
when Stuckey is getting torched -- the feeling here is that this trade for
The Answer is not going to solve the question of why the Pistons don't have
more championship hardware to show for being the strongest, most consistent
team in the East throughout this decade.
