http://www.depressedfan.com/basketball/sixers/back-meet-wall.php Back, Meet Wall 退无可退, 便无须再退 May 23 2012 2:08 AM The Sixers will face their first actual elimination game tonight at 8pm. They've had a couple of must-wins (game 6 vs. Chicago, game 4 vs. Boston) but tonight is the first time their season will end if they don't win. To this point, they haven't lost consecutive games in the playoffs, 4-0 after losses. Boston wants to end this, the Sixers want the run to continue. Who wants it more? 今晚八点, 76人将面对今年第一场淘汰战. 他们打过几场非赢不可的比赛 (对公牛的 第六场, 对塞尔提克的第四场) 但这还是第一次, 不赢球就要跟球季挥手道别. 目前 为止, 他们还没有在季後赛连败过. 波士顿想关门, 76人不想回家. 问题是: 谁比谁 更想赢? This series, like most reasonably evenly-matched series, has been about moves and counter-moves by the coaches. Each game has had a theme, with mismatches exploited, monster runs and subtle adjustments made by the coaches and carried out by the players (or not carried out, as the case may be). In game five, the Celtics went big. They spent no time, to the best of my recollection, with Paul Pierce at the four. This was a direct response to Doug Collins' adjustment to use Lavoy Allen and Thad Young at PF and C when Boston went small in game four. Part of me thinks that adjustment by Rivers might've been a trump card. Right now, the Sixers don't have two viable bigs. When you cut through the minutia of boxing out, and going under screens and just get down to the naked facts, the Sixers are at a disadvantage up front against pretty much every team in the league, even with Lavoy Allen playing out of his mind. They've spent the season using their superior perimeter defense to cover for their glaring weakness, but it's always been there, waiting to be exploited. 就像任何实力相近的对战组合, 这个系列赛是教练间的一盘棋奕. 每场比赛看得到战略 重点, 互争错位要害, 互拉高潮攻势, 互比运筹帷幄, 教练动脑, 球员执行(有时也执 行失败). Game 5当中, 老塞主攻大个阵容. 我印象中 Paul Pierce 从没拉到四号位. 这是回应 Doug Collins 在 Game 4 当中, 指定 Lavoy Allen 和 Thad Young 负责 PF 和 C 两个位置, 痛打波士顿小号阵容的决策. 某种程度上, 我认为 Rivers 这一招堪 称无解. 眼下的76人找不到两个能打的长人. 不论你如何安排防守阵势, 残酷的事实是 , 76人跟联盟中任何一队相比, 前场阵容都是吃亏的, 无论 Lavoy Allen 的表现如何 出色, 亦无可辩驳. 一整季以来, 他们始终倚赖强力的外围防守, 来弥补内线不足, 但 这个弱点从未改变, 随时都可能遭到痛击. Another part of me looks at game five and sees so many fixable problems. Doc Rivers dodged Lavoy Allen, completely. Whenever he checked in, Kevin Garnett checked out. Meaning Garnett was free to abuse Spencer Hawes for nearly the entirety of his night. Solution: Start Lavoy. Don't let Garnett get off to a quick start. Mirror Garnett's minutes with Lavoy. Turnovers. What was an incredible strength for this team throughout the season completely abandoned them in game five. Not only did they turn it over too much, they coughed it up on the simplest plays and gave Boston a ton of free points. Pacifism. When the whistled didn't go their way, they stopped attacking and started worrying more about not fouling the Celtics than playing tough defense. 另一方面我也注意到, Game 5 有太多可以修正的错误. Rivers 刻意回避 Lavoy Allen 的挑战. 只要 Allen 上场, KG 就下场. 换言之, KG 一整晚只要专心凌虐 Hawes 就好. 解决之道: 让 Lavoy 先发. 别让 Garnett 开局就打出信心, 让 Lavoy 像橡皮糖一样, 只要 KG 上场就上去黏着. 失误方面, 本来是这支球队一整年的优势, 却在 Game 5 完 全消失. 不只掉球次数过多, 而且连最简单的状况也会失误, 给波士顿一堆垃圾分数. 最後是斗志涣散. 当哨音倒向敌队, 他们太在意犯规问题, 却忘了保持防守强度. The Sixers aren't outclassed in this series, not even if Rivers pulls every string to perfection. Not even if Brandon Bass and Stiemsma play out of their minds. Not even if Rondo has 20 assists. They can beat this team, and it's not like they have to play their best game ever to do it. Cut down the mistakes, remain aggressive, and push the issue. It sounds simple because it is, if you consider 48 minutes of hustle and execution simple. 即使 Rivers 完美操盘, 即使 Brandon Bass 和 Stiemsma 有抓狂表现, 即使 Rondo 拿20次助攻, 76人都不是这个组合中必输的一方. 他们有能力打败老塞, 甚至不需要 有完美演出就能做到. 减少失误, 积极主动, 压迫对手. 就是这麽简单. 如果48分钟 你能拼到最後, 彻底落实战术, 真的不难. Tonight more than ever, tomorrow doesn't matter. For some of these players, this might be the last time they set foot on the court in a Sixers' uniform. For some it might be the last time they go to battle with the other guys in the locker room. For all of them, there's no reason to leave anything in the tank. There's no reason to hold back. There's no such thing as discretion, only valor...or failure. You can go out there, kick some ass and head up to Boston for one more battle, or you can pack your bags, head home and wait for the front office to decide your fate over the long, cold summer. Win or lose tonight, just make sure you can hold your head high when you walk out of the WFC. While you're at it, not leaving the fans with a bad taste in their mouthes for the next five months would be a positive as well. 专注今晚, 忘记明天. 这些球员当中, 有些可能是最後一次穿上76人的球衣, 有些可 能甚至是最後一次踏上NBA的战场. 谁都不该保留任何力气. 现在没有休息的理由. 现 在不需谨慎守成, 只有胜负成败. 你要嘛上场击倒对方, 飞到波士顿打下一场球, 要 嘛打包回家, 让球团决定, 接下来漫长而残酷的暑假後, 你何去何从. 今晚不论输赢, 请记得给自己一场无怨无悔的比赛. 当然, 最好别让球迷在接下来的五个月, 含恨心 酸. This is it, folks. Doug Collins needs to pull out all the stops. He can't just let things ride if they aren't working. He can't steal minutes with one of his helpless lineups. Iguodala and Jrue can and should go 40+ tonight if need be. If Lavoy picks up a couple of fouls in the first quarter, get him back in there in the second. This isn't a time the time to be conservative, this is the time to go for broke. 放手一搏吧, 各位. Doug Collins 必须紧握指挥棒, 苗头不对就得立刻调整. 他不能 妄想用可悲的替补阵容, 帮先发球员争取休息时间. 如有必要, Iguodala 和 Jrue 都 有能力也应该打满40分钟. 如果第一节 Lavoy 不幸二犯, 最多休息到第二节就得上. 这不是稳中求胜的时刻, 你得打光枪里的每一颗子弹. I'm expecting solid contributions from the bench guys tonight, and that includes Jodie Meeks. He's overdue for a game with four or five threes to break the Celtics' back. It doesn't matter how they get it done, though, just get it done. Win tonight, fight another day. 我相信替补球员今晚将缴出漂亮的成绩, 包括 Jodie Meeks. 该是他送上4, 5颗致命 三分弹的时候了. 不过怎麽赢并不重要, 带走胜利就好. 球季, 生存, 尊严, 在此一战! -- 让版面回归正轨, 球迷们站出来! 顺便在此召唤正牌费城英雄助威-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NubH5BDOaD8 --
