It's also the reason they're still undefeated. 休士顿报 -- 底特律活塞本季的得分能力进步了，但防守仍是他们的拿手好戏，而这 正是他们本季尚未吞下任何一场败仗的主要原因。 Richard Hamilton scored 19 points and the Pistons survived a dismal offensive performance Friday night, beating equally cold-shooting Houston 78-70. RIP攻下19分并带领球队在礼拜五晚上那场贫攻的比赛中辛苦地以78比70击败手感一样 冷冰冰的休士顿火箭。 The Pistons improved to 8-0, matching their best start since 1988-89, when they won the first of back-to-back NBA titles. If Detroit wins at Dallas on Saturday night, the Pistons will match the 1970-71 squad for the best start in franchise history. 活塞将开季连胜战绩推进至8胜0败，这已经是他们自1988-89球季球队第一次夺冠以来 的最佳开季战绩(活塞曾於1988-89、1989-90连续两季获得NBA总冠军)，如果活塞礼拜六晚 上再击败达拉斯，他们将追平球队於1970-71球季所创下的队史最佳开季战绩。 The eighth win wasn't pretty. 但其实球队的第8场胜利赢得并不漂亮。 The Pistons shot 38.8 percent (33-of-85) and got outrebounded 52-38. Luckily, the Rockets were even worse, shooting 38.6 percent (27-of-70) with 19 turnovers. 活塞全场投85中33，投篮命中率仅38.8%，篮板也抢不过对手(38比52)。幸运的是，火 箭的表现更糟，全场投70中27，投篮命中率只38.6%，失误亦高达19次(活塞全场失误仅8次 )。 "Defense is what we hang our hat on. It's what we know how to do," said Detroit center Ben Wallace, who had 16 rebounds. 抢下16个篮板的底特律中锋班蛙说"防守是我们获胜的主要原因，那是我们知道想要赢 球就必须去做的事(指努力防守)。" The Pistons had topped 100 points in five of their first seven games and were starting to develop a reputation for their offense. They were off-target from the start in Houston, though,missing several open shots and a handful of dunks. Their point total was 25 below their season average. 活塞在开季前7场比赛有5场得分破百并逐渐建立起他们也是支得分火力旺盛的球队的 名声。不过他们在对上休士顿的比赛中，开赛之初像是忘了带瞄准器出门，好几次空档时 都放枪，甚至连稳拿分的灌篮也灌不进，所以整场比赛的总得分比本季单场平均得分少了 25分。 The Rockets can relate. They've struggled offensively all season, shooting worse than 40 percent in four of their first eight games. 火箭的表现与统计数据相去不远，他们整季都在想办法解决球队贫攻的现象，投篮命 中率在开季前8场比赛甚至有4场不及40%。 And now, they may have lost Tracy McGrady again. 而且现在球队阵中的得分王T.McGrady可能会再一次挂病号。 The NBA's sixth-leading scorer last season, McGrady went 3-for-16 for six points. He sat out the fourth quarter and said later he re-aggravated the strained back injury that kept him out of three games earlier this month. 上季单场平均得分排在全NBA第6名的McGrady本场比赛投16中3仅仅拿下6分，他第四 节都坐在场边休息，稍後并表示月初让他缺赛3场的背部伤势(扭伤)又加剧了。 "That's not me out there," McGrady said. "I'm hurting my team and I'm hurting myself. It was tough to sit there and watch the game. But at the same time,it's tough for me to be going out there and go through what I'm dealing with." McGrady说"在场上打球的那个人并不是真正的我，我害了球队也害了自己。坐在场边 看着球队输球是件很难受的事，不过对我而言上强忍背痛上场打球一样是件困难的事。" Even without McGrady, the Rockets had their chances. 不过尽管McGrady未上场，火箭依然有机会赢球。 They trailed 67-66 before Ben Wallace outleaped Yao Ming, who led the Rockets with 20 points and 11 rebounds, for an offensive rebound and scored on a reverse layup with just under 5 minutes left. 终场前5分钟，火箭在班蛙在得了20分并抓下11个篮板的姚明面前拉下一个进攻篮板 并顺势施展了一记反手上篮前，曾经追到66比67仅1分落後。 Yao hit a turnaround at the other end, but Rasheed Wallace scored with 4:04 to go and the Rockets got no closer. 班蛙得分後，姚明马上在另外一头回敬了一球，不过溪蛙在比赛时间剩下4分04秒时 再度得分，火箭就无法再将比数追近了。 Rasheed Wallace had three baskets in the closing minutes to help the Pistons escape. Detroit led 74-68 when Yao was called for a charge and fouled out. 溪蛙在这个关键时刻抓下3个篮板，帮助了活塞摆脱火箭的纠缠。底特律在姚明被判 进攻犯规且因此犯满毕业时已经以74比68领先了。 "With 5 minutes left, we were up one and we just kind of looked at each other and said, 'We're going to get what we want now. We're going to force our will, '" said Pistons guard Chauncey Billups, who scored 13 points. 得到13分的C.Billups说"比赛时间剩下5分钟，球队领先1分，我们眼神交会并像是对 彼此说'我们要获得我们现在想要的，要坚持我们的信念。'" "We feel like, late in the game, we're going to get it done. We don't know who it will be, but we know it will be somebody." "我们在比赛後段时感觉到球队将会拿下这场胜利，我们不晓得会是谁跳出来主导战 局，但就是知道一定会有某个人。" Houston dropped to 3-6, its worst start since opening 2-7 in 1999-00. 火箭的战绩掉到3胜6败，这是自从1999-00球季的2胜7败以来的最差开季成绩。 "It's really frustrating," Yao said. "It's been a long time like this, whether we're on the road or at home. We're not finishing the job." 姚明说"这的确令人失望，很长一段时间都是这样了，不管是在客场或在主场比赛， 我们总是没办法坚持到最後一刻。" David Wesley scored all 14 of his points in the second half for Houston.He also had nine rebounds and six assists in just his second start of the season. D.Wesley总共为火箭添得14分且全都是在下半场所获得，他还抢下9个篮板、递出6次 助攻，而这仅是他本季第2场担任先发的比赛。 Wesley saw positive signs from Houston's performance, but not enough to be encouraged. Wesley在球队的表现中看到一丝曙光，不过还不足以因此被鼓励。 "We just didn't get it done," he said. "Yes, we're moving in the right direction. If we play like that, we can look for better results. But wins are all that matter right now." 他说"我们只是未能坚持到最後，没错，我们正往正确的方向在前进。如果我们可以 有所坚持，我们可以期望有更好的表现，不过眼前最重要的就是要提升球队的战绩。 The Rockets went 5 minutes without a field goal in the second quarter, but trailed only 39-36 at the break. 火箭在第二节有5分钟的时间未投进任何1个FG，不过在中场休息时仅以36比39落後。 Hamilton made seven of 11 shots and scored 15 points in the opening half, while the rest of the Pistons went 11-of-31. RIP在上半场队友们出手31次仅投进11球时，挺身而出以11投7中拿下15分。 Houston was just as one-dimensional, with Yao scoring 12 points in the first half and no other Rocket scoring more than five. 火箭在上半场仅靠姚明的12分苦撑，其他球员没有一个得到超过5分。 McGrady, guarded tightly by Prince, missed seven of nine shots and had only four points in the first half, although he also had 10 rebounds. McGrady上半场虽然抓下10个篮板，但在小王子的严密防守下，投9中2仅得到4分。 -- Notes Detroit has allowed 100 points in only two games this season. The Rockets were the sixth Pistons' opponent to score fewer than 90. ... The Pistons' 13-point second quarter was a season low for a quarter. ... Rockets guard Rafer Alston sat out with a bruised right leg. Alston had started each of Houston's first eight games and averaged a team-high 4.1 assists. 底特律在本季已进行的8场比赛中仅有2场比赛让对手得分破百，火箭是第6支得分低 於90的球队。 活塞第二节仅拿13分是他们本季以来的单节新低纪录。 火箭後卫R.Alston因为右腿擦伤所以未出赛，他在之前8场比赛都担任先发控卫，并 送出全队平均最高的4.1次助攻。 --
