原文出处： http://0rz.net/c51fg -- AUBURN HILLS -- The Pistons have lived through this scenario. 奥本山讯 -- 活塞对於这样的场景似曾相识。 Coach Larry Brown is ill and unable to be on the bench. 布朗教练因为生病而未能坐镇板凳席。 This time, the Knicks will be feeling Brown's absence during today's game against the Pistons at The Palace. 这一次，尼克将在今晚到活塞主场宫殿球场踢馆时体验布朗教练缺席的感觉。 Brown did not accompany the team to Detroit, according to Knicks representative Jonathan Supranowitz. Brown remained in New York to recover from a bout with acid reflux. 根据尼克发言人J.Supranowitz表示，布朗并未随队造访底特律，他留在纽约调养因胃 酸逆流而感到不适的身体。 Brown fell ill during a game in Cleveland on Thursday, leaving the bench during the third quarter because of stomach pain. He was taken to the Cleveland Clinic after the game, departing Quicken Loans Arena on a stretcher. 布朗在星期四对上克里夫兰的比赛时开始感到不舒服，他在第三节因为胃痛而离开板 凳席，赛後他被医护人员用担架从骑士队主场Quicken Loans体育馆送至克里夫兰医院。 He was released Friday but missed that night's 91-87 loss at Milwaukee. Knicks assistant coach Herb Williams has temporarily taken over for Brown. 他在星期五出院但错过了尼克当晚以87比91兵败密尔瓦基那场比赛，那场比赛由助理 教练H.Williams暂代布朗的总教练职务。 The Knicks have issued a statement regarding Brown's status, though the statement doesn't shed much light on the situation. 尼克已经发表了一份有关於布朗身体状况的声明，但这份声明其实没有很清楚地叙明 他的情况。 "He is fully cleared to return to the bench when he feels ready," the Knicks said in the statement. 尼克於该份声明中表示"布朗很清楚地表示他将在自己觉得已经准备好时回到板凳席继 续执教。" Speculation, thanks to Brown's track record, has begun that he might not continue to coach the Knicks. And considering that the Knicks are mired in a 22-57 season, plus the nonstop, season-long controversy, all could mean Brown's fate isn't rock solid. 根据布朗过去的纪录，已经有人在推测他可能不会再继续担任尼克的教头，再把尼克 本季22胜57败如同身陷泥沼的表现以及整季从未停息的口角、争论列入考虑，这全都意味 着布朗的教练乌纱帽即将不保。 Brown's agent, Joel Glass, told the New York Daily News that his client intends to coach the Knicks next season. Brown has four years and $40 million remaining on his contract with the Knicks. 布朗的经纪人J.Glass向纽约日报透露说他的客户希望下个球季仍能待在尼克执教，布 朗和尼克还有四年四千万美元的合约尚未执行完毕。 "He's going to take it easy and get some rest this weekend," Glass said. "He's doing fine. It's well-documented that he has acid reflux. He was diagnosed with it many years ago. He just wanted to get it checked out. Glass说"他会好好休息，以轻松的心情地度过这个周末。他的状况不错，诊断文件叙 明他有胃酸倒流的症状，很多年前他就曾患有此病，他现在只希望赶快把病养好。" "He's looking forward to next season already. As much of a disaster as this season has been, the experience will benefit him and the team will only get better." "他已经做好准备要迎接下一个球季的到来，灾难似的本季已经过了，这经验布朗一定 很受用而球队下一季也只会变得更好。" Not coming to Detroit also spares Brown from having to deal with any lingering resentment from Pistons fans. He also won't have to watch his former team possibly set a franchise record for victories in a season. 未跟随球队至底特律不仅让布朗免於应付任何活塞球迷残留至今的怨念，也许也让他 不需看着他去年执教的队伍踩在现在执教的队伍头上创造队史最多胜的光荣纪录。 The Pistons are 63-16, tied with the 1988-89 team for victories. 活塞现在战绩是63胜16败，胜场数已经追平了'88-'89年球季的队史纪录。 But to be fair, Brown, 65, has been battling a series of serious health issues the past few years. 不过说实在话，高龄65岁的布朗过去两年已经和一连串严重的身体问题奋战许久。 He has hospitalized in February, before a game at Memphis because of chest pains. The issue turned out to be indigestion and Brown recovered in time to coach. 他在二月一场於孟斐斯作客的比赛前因为胸痛而住院，原因被查明只是消化不良所引 起，而他也在比赛前复原，及时赶回球场坐镇。 Brown missed 17 games when he was coaching the Pistons last season because of hip-replacement surgery. There were complications that left Brown with lingering urinary issues. 布朗在去年执教於活塞时因髋关节替换手术而错失17场比赛，而并发症也造成布朗泌 尿系统的问题。 He underwent more surgery in February 2005 to help fix the bladder problem. Brown requires additional corrective bladder surgery, but has said he plans to hold off until after the season. 他在'05年二月经历了更多次手术，试图解决膀胱的问题。布朗要求再做额外的膀胱矫 正手术，不过後来他又表示将等到球季结束後再做处理。 -- Chilling out 练兵时间到了 The Pistons intend to keep taking it easy for the last three regular-season games. Coach Flip Saunders wants the starters to play just enough to stay fresh . 活塞打算以从容不迫的态度打完最後三场例行赛，老桑教练希望先发五虎们只打足够 保持身手的时间就好。 Against the Raptors on Friday the starters played about 20 minutes each. 星期五对上暴龙那场比赛，先发球员们分别只打了约20分钟。 That means more minutes for the bench, news that's welcomed by rookie guard Alex Acker . 那意味着板凳球员们有更多的时间磨练身手，而这对菜鸟後卫A.Acker来说可是个天大 的好消息。 "I'm approaching it like it's my Finals, you've got like two, three games more -- if you put me out there, I am going to be ready," Acker said. "I'm looking real forward to these games." Acker说"我把会他当作我最後的机会来看待，也许只是两、三场比赛，但只要你给我 上场的机会，我会随时准备好接受挑战，我真的很期待接下来这几场比赛。" Acker, along with forward Amir Johnson , spent time in the National Basketball Developmental League. Acker said the experience helped build his confidence. Acker和另一位菜鸟前锋A.Johnson一样，本季大部分的时间都待在次级联盟NBDL磨练 ，他表示那些经验已经帮助他建立了自信心。 "We got a lot more hungry and a lot more focused," Acker said. "I've been here every day, it's been like a tryout for me. Now I want to get out there, feel comfortable, relaxed, play my game." Acker说"我们变得更渴望比赛，也变得更加专注。我每天都会来这报到，这就像我的 选前测试会。我现在只希望放轻松，上场打球，打出属於自己的球赛。" -- Fine-tuning 球队调整情形良好 An important part of Saunders' plans for the final week before the playoffs is working on some defensive and offensive tweaks. 老桑对於季後赛前这一周的计画中很重要一个部份就是要趁机练习一些防守和进攻的 新战术。 "The main thing is to keep our guys fresh and sharp, we're doing more presses and half-court traps, which really we started working on those things probably two weeks ago," Saunders said. "Our half-court trap has been very, very good and they dictate a lot of tempo." 老桑说"最近调整主要的目标就是让球员们保持精神饱满且敏锐机警，我们会多做一些 大概从两个礼拜前才开始使用的压迫性及半场陷阱式防守。我们的半场陷阱式防守实在相 当、相当有用，球员们能藉此控制球赛的节奏。" The Pistons successfully used traps during the 2004 NBA title run. 活塞在'04年夺冠时陷阱式防守运用地淋漓尽致。 "It lets them bring out their aggressiveness," Saunders said. 老桑说"那激发出他们的积极性。" --
