By David Thorpe ESPN Insider In the NBA, a team should never have to apologize for a win or multiple wins. NBA球队不会因为赢球而道歉。 Indeed, whether it's because of good fortune, bad luck, injuries, suspensions, strange calls or stranger bounces (the Boston Celtics won a title on one of the strangest bounces off a rim), it's all part of the game. 确实不需要，无论是自己走狗运、对手运气差、伤病、禁赛、裁判吹判不公、 篮球乱弹(波士顿靠这个赢了一个冠军呢!)， 这都是比赛的一部份。 So when a team such as the Philadelphia 76ers surges through the first few weeks of the season winning games the toughest of ways -- blowing out opponents on the road -- it's certainly done its job and doesn't deserve conditional respect or an asterisk next to its name while sitting in first place in the Atlantic Division standings. 所以，像费城七六人这个球季一开始的前几周，把对手打得乱七八糟、 站上大西洋组排头，也不能说只是好运、赛程太软、只会赢烂队、 不值得尊重 However, when the 76ers sit atop John Hollinger's power rankings, it definitely begs the question: Are they in the same class as the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat? 然而，当七六人还在John Hollinger的威力排行榜上持续领先， 绝对会引起这样的疑问： 「七六人真的和东区顶尖的公牛或热火是同一个等级的球队吗？」 Their 10-4 record suggests yes, while their personnel suggests no. To be sure, Philadelphia is a well-balanced team, ranking among the league's top three in both offensive and defensive efficiency. It is no surprise that the 76ers are defending well considering they employ a top-three wing defender in Andre Iguodala, a strong and smart power forward in Elton Brand, a highly motivated center in Spencer Hawes and a host of agile, strong and explosive athletes at every other position. They play to their strengths; their coach stresses defense and they play it with energy and purpose most of the time. 十胜四败的战绩看起来好像是如此，但个别球员的数据就不是这麽回事。 可以肯定的是，七六人是一支非常平均的球队，攻守效率都是联盟顶尖； 有联盟前三的侧翼防守球员Andre Iguodala、 强壮又用脑的四号Elton Brand、 积极向上的中锋Spencer Hawes， 还有一票敏捷、强壮、有爆发力的年轻球员各司其职， 再加上教练强调防守，七六人在比赛当中打得非常强力且充满能量。 The bottom line here is that, based on who they've beaten, the 76ers still cannot yet be considered "elite" or on the same level as Chicago or Miami. However, the 76ers are for real -- a solid team that has a decent chance of making the playoffs. 但回头看看他们击败了哪些对手，七六人离顶尖球队还是有段距离。 尽管如此，七六人的确是货真价实的强队、 一支强悍且能在季後赛有所作为的球队。 Here are a few reasons: 理由如下： Developing young players 年轻球员的成长 Lou Williams, Iguodala, Thaddeus Young and Evan Turner are all playing better than they did last season. Jrue Holiday has shown signs he can be an upper-level point guard (although he still has a ways to grow). Brand is contributing again, showing so far that his performance last season was not a fluke. Jodie Meeks is now a proven, legitimate 3-point threat. Nikola Vucevic is a top-10 rookie and perhaps the biggest surprise of the 2011 draft class thus far. Lou Williams, Iguodala, Thaddeus Young 和 Evan Turner都打得比去年好， Jrue Holiday也展现联盟顶尖控球後卫的能耐(虽然还有不少成长空间)。 Brand持盈保泰，稳定贡献，显示去年的好调并非回光返照； Jodie Meeks也长成了稳定的三分射手、 Nikola Vucevic本来就是排行前十的新秀，在实战当中展现的水平却能超乎期待， 几乎是2011梯最令人意外的菜鸟 Of this aforementioned group, only Brand is considered a player on the downside of his career. Even if none of the younger players get much better, they can still be a factor in the East, but Holiday, Turner, Vucevic, Young and Hawes can all be expected to get better, as they possess skill and basketball IQ and lack only experience. 以上这些人，只有Brand的生涯在下坡路段； 即便这些年轻人就这样、成长停滞，七六人在东区都还是霸权。 但Holiday, Turner, Vucevic, Young 和 Hawes一定会更好， 技术和篮球智商都具备的他们，唯一欠缺的只是经验。 If these youngsters mature rapidly, it would improve the 76ers' depth, which would make them a much tougher out in a seven-game series against either Miami or Chicago. 如果这些年轻球员马上成熟，七六人会是一支更恐怖的球队， 在七场的系列赛中和芝加哥或迈阿密将可一搏。 Strength of schedule 赛程的强度 Philadelphia has yet to play a team with a top-10 offense, and in fact the 76ers have played just four teams in the top 16 in offensive efficiency: Portland, Utah, Golden State and Phoenix. So it's understandable why questions remain about the 76ers' defense being considered elite. 费城目前还没跟联盟进攻前十的球队打过， 事实上也只跟四支进攻前段班的球队对战过 -- 波特兰 犹他 金州 凤凰城 这就是为什麽七六人的防守强度仍遭受怀疑 However, the schedule continues to be a benefit for Philadelphia. The road looks smooth through February in that the 76ers play only two "tough" road games, at Miami and Orlando. 然而，赛程还是持续的对七六人有利， 二月分的客场之旅只会对到迈阿密和奥兰多两支强队。 Assets to trade 交易筹码 One benefit of having the type of depth that the Sixers possess is that they maintain the option of shipping three or four of those quality players in return for a top-20 player. Having a lot of young assets gives it a lot of options, which is why it wouldn't be a surprise to see Philadelphia get involved in discussions at the March 15 trade deadline. 在球员市场上七六人仍维持着有利的地位， 板凳的深度足以用三到四位球员去换一个顶尖球星。 年轻人多、交易选择多，所以在今年三月十五交易大限前是大有可为的。 Even without a move, the Sixers are built to be in the mix near the top of the Eastern Conference, from now through April. They're not in the Bulls-Heat realm yet, but the talent and growth potential is in place in Philadelphia for this team to be a force in the East this season and going forward. 即便不搞交易，七六人仍然是东区前六的队伍。 虽然还不是公牛-热火级别的球队， 但天分和潜力逐渐发挥的七六人有能力在季後赛走得更远。 --
