OPENING SHOW STOPPERS 開幕戰，七六人展現堅強防守。 http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/sports/15907909.htm By PHIL JASNER jasnerp@phillynews.com Posted on Thu, Nov. 02, 2006 THIS WAS the revised, hopefully improved 76ers universe, in which Allen Iverson and Chris Webber don't have to dominate the offense, in which the Sixers don't have to depend on simply outscoring the opponents, in which defense and rebounding are the prime components. 希望這是七六人改造後的全新風貌—他們不需要靠Allen Iverson和Chris Webber，獨力扛起進攻責任；不需要只靠著強大的火力贏過對手—新七六人的構成要素，就是防守與籃板。 Don't go anointing training camp and the preseason a success. Don't go jumping to any conclusions. This was only an 88-75 Opening Night victory over the overmatched Atlanta Hawks at the Wachovia Center. 但先不要把訓練營與熱身賽的成果神聖化；先不要急著下結論。這只是一場在 Wachovia Center，七六人以88比75擊敗亞特蘭大老鷹的開幕戰。 But if the Sixers are to be anywhere close to the team they insist they can be, this was as good a place as any to start. 然而，如果七六人要邁向他們堅持自己辦的到的理想球隊。那麼這場比賽，會是個好的開始。 They limited the Hawks' penetration into the paint; they left the visitors shooting a weak 33.3 percent from the floor; they tightened their grip just enough in the fourth quarter to prevent any sort of really damaging run. 他們減少老鷹隊殺入禁區的攻勢，讓客隊的命中率降到33.3%。他們在第四節集中注意力，進而避免被拉出造成傷害的攻勢。먊 They did what they set out to do, and isn't that the point? 他們做到了他們想做的事情，這才是重點。 "We won the first game, and after last year's first game [an overtime loss to Milwaukee], this is a step in the right direction," coach Maurice Cheeks said. "I thought our defense was excellent. All the things we worked on throughout the preseason and training camp came into play. We tried to keep people out of the paint, hold their field goal percentage down. 教練Maurice Cheeks表示：「去年開幕戰我們在延長賽輸給公鹿隊。今年第一場的勝利象徵著我們站在正確的方向。我認為我們的防守非常棒，我們在訓練營與熱身賽所強調的東西，這場比賽都有確實執行。我們試著不要讓對手突破到禁區，然後就會降低他們的命中率」。 "I'm talking about defense, because that's all we've been talking about. Defense is the reason we won this game." 「那東西就是防守。這是我們一直強調的，我們會贏這場比賽，靠的就是防守」。 Iverson and Webber, the NBA's highest-scoring duo last season, combined for a relatively modest 40 points. And that was just fine, because Iverson had 32, Andre Iguodala 15 and Samuel Dalembert 11. It was also fine because Webber (eight points) and Dalembert combined for 24 rebounds and four of the team's six blocks. 上季聯盟最佳的雙人組合Iverson與Webber「只」攻下40分，但沒有關係，因為除了 Iverson得到32分，Andre Iguodala與Samuel Dalembert分別貢獻15、11分；Webber 只拿下8分，但他和Dalembert一共抓下24顆籃板球，並包辦全隊6個火鍋的其中4個。 "It certainly helps when you have Sam and Steven Hunter in the middle, keeping layups from going down," Cheeks said. "Late in the fourth quarter, [the Hawks] continued to play and they got some layups, but for the most part we were keeping the ball out of the middle." Cheeks說：「Sam和Steven Hunter站在禁區中央可以減少對方上籃機會，這真的給我們很多幫助。雖然第四節後段老鷹隊繼續奮戰，也得到一些上籃取分的機會，但大部分的時間，我們都讓球在外圍流動，讓他們沒有殺入禁區的機會」。 Webber has made a career scoring in the paint, using a soft, floating jump hook as a go-to move. But when he went to it last night, it was AWOL. Still, when the Hawks - who trailed by as many as 23 - climbed within 82-71 late in the fourth quarter, Webber stepped back and drained a clutch 18-foot jumper. Webbe的生涯的得分大多在禁區之內，靠的是他招牌的小勾射，輕輕地將球送進籃框裡。但在昨晚關鍵的時刻，靠的仍然是他「不務正業」的跳投。第四節末段，一度落後 23分的老鷹隊，將比數追成82比71。接著Webber拉到外面，投進了18呎的跳投。 He was 3-for-14 when he launched that shot. 投進這個中距離之前，他總共出手14次只命中3球。 "I love the fourth quarter," Webber said. "In the fourth quarter, I'm going to make those shots. I'm going to go home frustrated about missing shots, but if I were a Vegas betting man, I'd bet I make jump hooks all the time. You're going to have those nights. I think some of it was Opening Night energy; I rushed some, even when I had smaller guys on me. Webber說：「我愛第四節的比賽。我在第四節可以投進一些重要的球。對於那些失手的球，回家後我也會感到挫折。如果這是一場賭局，當然一直以來，我會選擇以勾射的方式出手。你總會有一些表現不好的比賽，今天的比賽表現不好，我想有一部份原因是開幕戰讓我操之過急。即使我面對較矮小的球員，還是有些投籃倉促出手」。 "But you've got to deal with that. If I'm getting 50, I can't go home thinking I'm Wilt. I'm not going to go home thinking I'm less than [I am]. Last year, I had a great game [Opening Night], and we got a loss." 「但是你必須調整自己。如果我得到50分，我不會回到家裡，想著我是張伯倫；現在，我也不會回到家裡，一直想著自己沒有發揮應有水準。去年開幕戰，我打了一場好球，但我們輸了」。 All of Cheeks' lectures and pointers since Sept. 30 had to be ringing in the players' ears. 打自9月30號以來，Cheeks的諄諄教誨，無時無刻都在球員耳邊響起。 "We spoke so much about defense, talked so much about rebounding the ball, and obviously we did that," Iverson said. "And we played a little offense, too. That's the only way we're going to beat teams. It's hard to play when you've got to play halfcourt all the time. We've got to find some way to get stops, get rebounds, get easy baskets. Iverson表示：「我們一直討論如何做好防守，如何加強籃板球。很明顯地，我們做到了，而我們在進攻上也有所斬獲，這是贏球的不二法門。如果在比賽中一直做半場的防守，會令我們陷入困境。我們必須找到阻止對方組織進攻的方法，設法搶到籃板球，然後找到輕鬆的得分機會」。 "Seeing the fans come in [an announced 17,119], it felt like old times. I've been here 11 years, and that's kind of what I'm used to. Last year's, it wasn't like I wanted it to be. Honestly, it felt [like] home again, just the energy [of the crowd]. 「看到這些球迷進場（官方統計有17119人），我感覺好像回到了從前。我在這裡 11年了，我也習慣這樣的感覺，但是去年的觀眾人數跟我想像的不一樣。老實說，我好像又回到家裡了，我感覺到球迷的活力」。 "It's the first time in a long time, just being nervous. I always have butterflies, whether it's an NBA game or a pickup game, but [I'm] never nervous. I wanted us to play well. I wanted to send a message to our fans. After not making the playoffs last year, the fans want what they deserved. 「這麼久以來，我第一次覺得緊張；不管是NBA的比賽、或是練習賽，我只會覺得興奮，從來不會緊張。我想讓七六人打出好比賽，我想給球迷傳送一個訊息。去年我們錯失了進入季後賽的機會，現在球迷們渴望他們想要的」。 "I just wanted them to feel like everything we've been saying as a team, we meant it about being better, smarter, a more aggressive team. First of all, I wanted to show ourselves we could do it, then prove it to the fans." 「我只想讓他們感覺到，我們一直說要成為一支真正的球隊，意思就是，一支更好、更聰明、更積極的球隊。首先，我想讓隊友覺得我們可以做的到，然後進一步，證明給球迷看」。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.141.122.226
