Ah, to be home again. 哈，终於回家了。 The Pistons, freshened up from a tough travel schedule, toyed with the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, winning 114-89 at the Palace. They're now an NBA-best 9-1. 活塞结束了艰难的客场赛程，回到主场後显得精神奕奕，在礼拜三对上丹佛金块的比 赛谈笑用兵，在奥本山宫殿轻松地以114比89解决对手，球队的战绩现在是全NBA最佳的9胜 1负。 They looked good getting there, too. Thirty-three assists on 43 baskets. A renewed commitment to defense that led to 12 blocks and 49 assists. Seven players scoring in double digits. 他们看起来有所进展，43个FG里有33次是由助攻而来的，另外重新振作的防守端也有 12次阻攻跟49个篮板的表现，总共有7个球员得分超过10分。(译按：我发现原来外电也有 出错的时候，我去查过boxscore，是49个rebs而非asts) "We're probably not as good as we played at times," Pistons coach Flip Saunders said, "and we're not as bad as we played at Dallas. We're in-between." 活塞教头F.Saunders说"我们有时候可能会拿不出应有的表现，也不可能每次都打得像 上一场在达拉斯的比赛那麽差劲，我们通常介於这两者之间。" Denver (7-6) came in with a four-game winning streak, a solid defensive scouting report and three or four dangerous offensive weapons. 这场比赛前丹佛是挟着4连胜的极佳近况来到底特律的，他们阵中有一架稳健的防守侦 防机和另外三或四座危险的攻击武器。 Regardless, the Pistons, dressed in new alternate red jerseys, were primed and polished and eager to get things going at home,especially on the defensive end. 穿着红色新球衣的活塞才不管这麽多，蓄势待发准备将所有侵略领空的东西给击落， 尤其是在防守方面。 "That was the type of defensive game we need to play," said Tayshaun Prince, who had 12 points. 得到12分的小王子说"这才是我们的比赛应该展现的防守风格。" "It carries the offensive end." "这同时也带动了攻击端的表现。" Richard Hamilton led on that side with 19 points, and center Ben Wallace had a double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds. RIP得到领先全队的19分，中锋班蛙拿到两个双位数13分和13个篮板。 After briefly leading in the first quarter, Denver never got things going. Center Marcus Camby finished with his 10th double-double this season with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Small forward Carmelo Anthony struggled, shooting 4-for-15 and scoring 12 points. 丹佛在第一节曾短暂地维持领先，但之後便一泻千里。中锋M.Camby以15分和10个篮板 取得本季第10次两个双位数，小前锋C.Anthony出手15次仅命中4球，拿到区区12分。 Meanwhile, Detroit had fun. By the second half, smiles had replaced the team's usual look of focus. The Pistons dunked. They blocked shots. They played around , throwing no-look passes. And through it all, they got the shots out of their offense that they wanted. 对活塞而言，这是场很欢乐的比赛。在下半场，笑容取代了球队一贯的专注面孔。球 员们灌篮、封阻、传出no-look assist，无所不能。而且重点是，他们的进攻能很有效率 地取得分数。 "I thought we executed the game plan perfectly," point guard Chauncey Billups said. 控卫枪蜥说"我想我们这场比赛打得很完美。" Behind reserve point guard Carlos Arroyo, Detroit went on a 16-4 run in the second quarter that opened a 44-27 lead. 在替补控卫C.Arroyo的带领之下，球队在第二节初打出了16比4的攻势，并取得44比27 的大幅领先。 The Pistons' 60 points at intermission were a season-high for a half. 活塞打完上半场就得到60分，这是他们本季的半场得分新高。 Saunders used the fourth quarter to get extra playing time for his bench, notably forwards Darko Milicic, Jason Maxiell and Carlos Delfino. Saunders在第四节大量地启用板凳球员，让他们有更多的时间上场磨练。尤其是前锋 小米粒、J.Maxiell和C.Delfino。 In the final two minutes, Delfino accidentally staggered Denver's Francisco Elson with an elbow to the forehead. Elson's teammates had to help him to the bench after he fell to the floor, and after the game, Nuggets coach George Karl said Elson had suffered a mild concussion. 在终场前两分钟，Delfino不小心用手肘去敲金块队F.Elson的前额，Elson落地後必须 由队友搀扶才能回到板凳席上。比赛结束後，金块队的教头G.Karl说Elson有轻微脑震荡的 现象。 Karl also said he thought the Pistons wanted to reclaim their pride after Saturday's 37-point loss in Dallas. Karl说活塞在礼拜六以37兵败达拉斯後想藉由这场比赛再建他们的自信。 "Maybe we gave in a little too easy," Karl said, "but they're a very good team. " Karl说"也许我们太轻易就投降了，不过他们的确是支很优秀的球队。" Was it a statement from the Pistons? 活塞部分有什麽回应吗？ Saunders couldn't disagree. Saunders没有否认。 "I told the players: 'We went 8-0 and lost a game, and then we're not as good as people thought.' " Saunders said. Saunders说"我告诉我的球员们'我们连赢了8场比赛後输了1场比赛，所以其实我们并 没有人们原本所想的那麽厉害。'" "We had one loss, but we have to go out and prove it every night." "我们是输了一场，不过我们必须走出败战的失落情绪，并在每晚的比赛继续奋战以证 明我们的能耐。" --
