原文出处： http://0rz.net/500Z4 -- Q. Do you think the Pistons will win 70 games this season? 问：你认为活塞本季能赢得70场球赛吗？ A. Let's not get carried away. First of all, it's way too early to speculate on something like that. There are still four months left in the regular season. Too many things can happen, both to the Pistons and to the other teams in the league. 答：先别想那麽多吧。首先，现在来推测像这样的事情是不是还言之过早？正规球季 还剩下4个月之久，不管活塞或联盟中的其他球队都可能遭遇很多不可预料的事。 You should know the players aren't giving it any thought, whatsoever. All they are looking to do is have the best record in the league so they can have home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. That is their goal. 无论如何，你应该知道球员们并不会想那麽多。他们在意的不外乎联盟最佳战绩，以 期能在整个季後赛期间都享有主场优势，那才是他们的目标。 Who knows, maybe that will help drive up the win total. If San Antonio keeps winning at a 77-percent clip, the Pistons will have to, as well. But keep in mind, when the Bulls won 72 in 1995-96, their winning percentage was .878. 天晓得，也许那种想法会帮助他们持续赢得比赛。如果圣安东尼奥维持77%的胜率，那 活塞也必须表现地一样好。不过别忘了，当公牛在'95-'96球季赢得72场比赛时，他们的胜 率是不可思议的87.8%！ And last I checked, the Pistons don't have Michael Jordan, the most dominant player of his era, on the team. 最後一点我必须说，活塞并没有飞天神牛-M.Jordan，全宇宙最会打篮球，在篮球场上 最具主宰能力的球员在阵中。 To get to 70 victories, the Pistons must go 46-8 the rest of the way. It's just too daunting to approach a season like that. You do what Ron Harper said his Bulls team did -- you try to win each game and then you add them up at the end of the season. 活塞想要赢得70场比赛，他们本季剩下的比赛必须取得46胜8败的成绩。想要打出一个 这样球季是可遇不可求的，你必须做到R.Harper说他的公牛队曾经做到的 -- 试着赢得每 一场比赛的胜利，然後在球季结束时，你就能拥有优异的战绩。 A more realistic goal for the Pistons would be to top their franchise win record of 63 set by the 1988-89 team. 活塞将目标放在打破於'88-'89年创下的63胜队史纪录是一个较为实际的预期。 Get this: If the Pistons had 40 victories by the All-Star break -- which means they would have to win 16 of the next 23 games -- they would still have to win 30 of their final 31 games to get to 70. 记住：如果活塞在全明星赛前能赢得40场胜利 -- 这代表他们在接下来23场比赛必须 赢16场 -- 他们在最後31场比赛必须赢30场才能将胜场数累积至70。 Come on. 拜托~ Q. Do you think the 72 victories will ever be topped? 问：你认为72胜的纪录可能被打破吗？ A. I can't really imagine it. Think about what the Bulls did. In that 1995-96 season, there were seven teams that won 50 or more games. Orlando and Seattle won 60-plus games. 答：我真的没办法想像。回想一下公牛所做的，在'95-'96球季，总计有7支球队赢得 50或更多场比赛，奥兰多和西雅图的胜场数甚至还超过60。 In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons were 10 games above .500 and barely got the eighth spot in the playoffs. 在东区，活塞比5成胜率多赢10场比赛，仅以第8种子挂车尾挤进季後赛窄门。 The Bulls shot 48 percent as a team and averaged 107 points. Their average margin of victory was 12.2 points. Just ridiculous stuff. 公牛全队命中率48%，每场攻下107分，平均胜分高达12.2分，这只能用扯来形容。 Steve Kerr, who played on that Bulls team, said it best. 当时效力於公牛的扫地僧S.Kerr描述得最为贴切。 "I don't know if they are ever going to be able to break that record or anybody for that matter," he said. "When you think about those numbers, they are startling. I think about what set that team apart it was obviously Michael Jordan. I remember eight or 10 games that season where he basically picked up the entire team and said, 'We are not going to lose tonight.' 他说"我不知道他们或其他人是否能够打破那纪录，当你认真思考那些数字时，你会发 现那其实很惊人。我想那支球队和其他球队最大的不同点就在於他们拥有Jordan，我记得 那个球季至少有8或10场比赛是他只手遮天，将整支球队撑起来，并且很豪气地表示'我们 今晚不能输。'" "You know those scheduled losses when you're on the road for the fourth or fifth night and you're on the road with no energy -- those were the nights that he would just say, 'Jump on my back boys,' and of course we did. It's way too early to be talking about 70 wins." "你知道那些因为赛程造成的败仗是由於你连续第4或第5个晚上在客场征战，当气力放 尽时而输掉比赛 -- 通常那些夜晚他会说'跳上我的背吧，男孩们。'，当然我们也照着做 。现在谈活塞是否能赢得70场比赛，似乎还太早了些。" Q. Do you think the Pistons complain and carry on with the officials too much? 问：你认为活塞抱怨太多并太容易随着裁判的判决起舞吗？ A. No, I don't. I think the only time it cost them anything this season was during the second half at Utah. I thought they let the officials get into their heads, and they lost focus. 答：不，我不这麽想。我认为本季唯一一次是在对上犹他那场比赛的下半场，裁判所 做的判决影响了他们的情绪，让他们失去了焦点。 But on balance, I think it's simply a product of their competitiveness and passion. I know some of the Cavalier players were talking about how the Pistons whine and bicker so much with the referees. They pointed out the irony that, despite all their complaining, they have had by far the fewest fouls called on them this season. 不过总得来说，我想他们辉煌的战绩很明显是来自於他们的好胜心以及对比赛的热情 。我知道某些骑士队的球员论及活塞时，说他们抱怨太多且屡次向裁判发牢骚。他们甚至 还点出讽刺的事，不管他们再怎麽抱怨，本季迄今他们的对手平均被吹判犯规次数是全联盟 最少的。 I think the Pistons have been the beneficiaries of a more favorable whistle this season, all things considered. To some degree, that's a product of the coaching change. Larry Brown had very few friends among the refereeing community. 通盘考虑，我认为活塞已经是较少被吹判犯规的受益者。在某程度上，那是因为教练 更换造成的结果，L.Brown在裁判界的朋友简直可说是少之又少。 A bigger part of that, though, is the Pistons' defensive reputation. That is something they earned by being one of the stingiest defensive teams in the league over a five-year period. 而更大的一个原因可归於活塞铜墙铁壁的防守功夫威名远播，他们近五年来可说是联 盟中一等一的防守型球队。 Q. Rasheed Wallace has seven technical fouls. Is this a concern? 问：溪蛙本季领到7支技术犯规，这跟上述论点有关吗？ A. Well, only from the standpoint that, once he gets to 15, he could be suspended for a game. For the most part, Wallace has kept his emotions under control. Referees have learned to listen to what he's saying instead of reacting to his body language. Wallace is always animated, but many times he is carrying on a logical (albeit loud) debate. 答：嗯，只有从那观点来看，一旦他领到15支技术犯规，他会被禁赛一场。最大的一 个原因是溪蛙已经尽量克制自己的情绪，而裁判也不再像过去直接针对他的肢体语言做出 技术犯规的判决，反而会试着去倾听他所说的话。班蛙总是精力充沛，不过很多时候他也 会很有逻辑地向裁判争取(尽管嗓门大了点 XD)。 That said, Wallace still gets more cheap technicals than anybody. A referee once told me that sometimes officials slap Wallace with a tech simply to quiet him down. The stat to keep in mind is ejections. 那表示溪蛙仍然可能比任何人都更容易领到技术犯规，一位裁判曾经告诉我有时候裁 判赏他一支技术犯规只是为了让他马上安静下来，如果他情绪还是没办法cool down，结果 就是领到毕业证书。 Wallace has only been booted from one game as a Piston for picking up two technical fouls. 还好，溪蛙成为活塞球员後仅有一场比赛因领到两支技术犯规而遭驱逐出场。 --
