http://0rz.net/090UE ※Pistons※ Few bumps in the road for this team 　　 活塞客場數記 KRISTA LATHAM Detroit Free News December 7, 2005 What a week. In New Jersey, the Pistons discovered the land behind that mysterious arc and hit 10 threes; Larry Brown returned to Detroit to a very mixed chorus of boos, jeers, hugs and cheers, and Rasheed Wallace got silly in Chicago. 這是個如此有趣的星期呀！ 在紐澤西，活塞諸將探索這神奇弧線(三分線)外的土地，然後投進了十個三分球； 布朗爺再臨底特律，面對的是噓聲、嘲弄、擁抱與鼓勵； 還有溪蛙在芝加哥耍蠢... (OS：這應該是指溪蛙在芝加哥的大嘴巴行為吧...) The best part for the Pistons? Three games, three more wins. 對活塞來說最好的部份是什麼？三戰三勝。 So what's more impressive? The Pistons' 13-2 record or their 8-1 mark on the road? 還有什麼更令人感到有興趣的？是活塞的十三勝二負戰績？還是客場八勝一負呢？ (術語筆記：on the road-客場。) If you went with the latter, ding ding ding! You win! 如果你想到的是後者，叮叮叮，你贏了！ Most teams are happy going .500 on the road. 大多數的隊伍認為，5成客場勝率不錯了。 This team, though, thrives on the challenge of going into someone else's building and sending a few thousand fans home with a bad taste in their mouths -- and not just from overpriced light beer. 然而這隊，卻成功的在客場的挑戰中讓主場上千球迷的嘴嘗到了苦頭─ 不只是因為賽場售價過高的生啤酒。 "We love playing on the road, we love it," Chauncey Billups said. "We love the whole idea of 14, 15, 18,000 all being against you. Us being able to quiet the crowd, we love that. We feed off that." "我們很愛打客場，真的！"槍蜥如是說。"我們喜歡這種一萬四千到八千個人同時與你為 敵的感覺。讓滿滿的人全都安靜下來，我們以此為樂。" That's a good omen for the next week, as the Pistons leave tonight to play three games out West -- Golden State on Friday, the L.A. Clippers on Sunday and Utah on Monday. 對於下週的比賽來說，這是個好兆頭。今晚過後活塞在西區有三場比賽─ 星期五對勇士、星期天對金塊、星期一對爵士。 BROWN OUT: Slip of the mind or subtle dig? You decide. 布朗爺：另有算計或是飄邈不定？你認為呢？ (按：Brown out有雙關...這個片語的意思是"因省電或是電力不足而調暗燈泡" 至於這個"燈泡"是誰呢？明眼人都知道的。) When asked in a recent SI.com interview to name his favorite NBA point guards, former Pistons coach Larry Brown, a former point guard himself, seemed to forget a certain Piston he coached for two years. 當被SI.com問到誰是當下他最喜歡的NBA控球後衛時，布朗爺這個活塞前教練 似乎忘記了某些活塞控衛─前兩年他執教的球隊。 Wears No. 1? Last name rhymes with Phillips? Any love for Chauncey, Coach Brown? 誰是第一？那個姓跟飛利浦有押韻到的傢伙？你對這傢伙還有愛嗎？布朗爺？ Apparently not. 很明顯的沒有。 "I think this (rookie) class has been unique," he said in the interview. "(Deron) Williams and (Chris) Paul -- those two kids are incredible. 在訪談中，布朗爺提到："我想今年的菜鳥很特別呢，D.Williams(UTAH)跟C.Paul(NO)， 這兩個人讓人驚艷。" "I think the way Philly is using Allen (Iverson) shows he's evolving more into a point guard. ... I think T. J. Ford is so special. Obviously, (Steve) Nash comes to mind. Tony Parker is evolving and getting better. I think Dallas has done a remarkable job with (Jason) Terry. (Marko) Jaric in Minnesota -- naturally it helps playing with Kevin (Garnett), but he has the point mentality. I love (Sebastian) Telfair. And there's Baron (Davis). "在費城的AI讓我看到了他正在轉型成控球後衛的進化...... 我認為T.J.Ford(MIL)非常的特別。無庸置疑的，S.Nash(PHX)值得注意。 T.Parker(SA)正在越變越好的過程中。達拉斯的J.Terry在那得到了令人尊敬的地位， M.Jaric(MIN)確實幫助了狼王賈奈特，但他也有著得分能力。 我也很喜歡S.Telfair(POR)，當然還有B.Davis(GS)。" "... Larry Hughes is starting to get a feel, and (Gilbert) Arenas, too. Larry and Arenas are more scorers than points, but they still do point guard things. But they're all unique. I hate to leave people out. I think the kid (Damon) Stoudamire in Memphis is going to be a huge reason why that team gets better." "L.Hughes(CLE)開始有那個感覺了，G.Arenas(WAS)也是，他們扮演的得分者角色大於 控球者，但他們還是有做到一個控衛該做的。 我不喜歡遺忘某些人，D.Stoudamire對於曼菲斯的戰機轉佳有著很大的影響在。" Hate to leave people out, eh? 不喜歡忘記某些人，蛤？ He did name 13 point guards. Just not the one who won him a championship. 他提了13個控衛，但卻沒提到幫他奪下冠軍那個。 ＊＊＊＊＊＊ STRANGE SIGHT OF THE WEEK: Seeing talk show man Jimmy Kimmel, he of the anti-Detroit remarks from two years ago, sitting courtside at the New York game last Friday next to Motown rocker Kid Rock. Even stranger, seeing Kimmel in the locker room after the game asking Rasheed Wallace to pose with him for a photo. 本週詭異之最 Jimmy Kimmel這個在兩年前就打著反活塞大旗的脫口秀主持人， 居然在上星期五活塞對尼克的比賽後跑去找溪蛙合照.... -- 後記，這作者還真是文筆幽默XD -- ◢◣ ◢◣ ◥█◣\/◢█◤ ◢▼◣ 剩下一半的幻想，與莫名奇妙的文字 ◢█ █◣ 在台北旅行 █◤ ◥█ 【Fant、點滴】http://www.wretch.cc/blog/fantasyf --
