Sixers Notes | Road trip magnifies urgent need to win
客場連戰 76人危機浮現
Posted on Fri, Mar. 17, 2006
SEATTLE - It is an NBA custom. Whenever a team travels from one coast
to the other to begin a long road trip, the routine is to guess how
many wins the team will gain before it returns home.
NBA有個習慣:任何隊伍即將橫越大陸、連續在客場應戰之前,一定要先猜猜看
,他們在回家之前能夠拿下幾場勝利。
In the case of the 76ers, who began a three-game Western swing last
night against Seattle at KeyArena, one victory surely isn't enough.
Two wins are acceptable. Three are necessary.
已經開始西岸客場三連戰的七六人,昨晚首先面對了西雅圖超音速的挑戰。對他
們來說,一勝肯定不夠,兩勝可以接受,三勝則是絕對必要的。
With 19 games remaining and the playoff chase still one mad scramble,
victories are a must.
距離季後賽僅僅剩下19場賽事,然而哪些隊伍能夠晉級目前仍然有許多問號,
因此每一場比賽都是勢在必得。
"I don't know; it would be nice to go three out of three," Sixers
coach Maurice Cheeks said at yesterday's practice. "Is that going to
happen? I don't know. But we have to go with the idea that we can win
three out of three, and we have to take each game one at a time."
「我不知道;如果三戰三勝當然很好,」七六人總教練Mo Cheeks說:「但是結
果會是那樣嗎?我不知道。但是我們必須要以三戰三勝的心態應戰,然後一場一
場的好好打。」
The Sixers, who will go through their entire trip without the injured
Allen Iverson, entered last night's game having lost four of their
last five. That has almost negated the 5-1 mark they recorded in the
six games that followed the all-star break.
因為受傷的關係,AI將無法在接下來的客場三連戰當中給予七六人火力支援。過
去五場比賽裡,他們已經輸掉四場,等於是抵銷了明星賽之後六戰五勝的好成績
。
At 31-32 entering last night, they held the eighth and final playoff
spot in the Eastern Conference, one-half game behind No. 7 Milwaukee.
They were almost a distant memory in the Atlantic Division, where
they trailed the New Jersey Nets by four games. They were 21/2 games
ahead of Chicago, the ninth-place team in the conference, and 11/2
games behind No. 6 Indiana.
昨晚對上西雅圖之前,七六人以31勝32敗
(按:現在是31勝34敗)的成績,暫時
盤據了東區老八的位置,距離第七種子的公鹿隊有一點五場的勝差。在他們所屬
的大西洋組裡面,因為和遙遙領先的籃網隊有四場的勝差,現在的七六人處在消
失的邊緣。他們跟尾隨在後的第九名公牛隊還有二點五場的空間,和第六名的溜
馬隊則有一點五場的距離。(按:現在距離公鹿隊還是一點五場、第六換成巫師
,差二點五場。)
The Sixers have not been able to finish games all season. In their
last two defeats, they led by double digits late in the third quarter
and faded in the fourth, scoring 14 fourth-quarter points against
Denver and 12 against Toronto.
整個賽季以來,七六人不斷在比賽中丟掉得來不易的領先地位。過去兩場敗仗中
,他們在第三節末都保有兩位數的比分優勢,但在第四節又通通還給對方:對上
丹佛金塊的時候,第四節的得分只有14分,與多倫多暴龍交手時,則是可憐的12
分。
The Sixers have found themselves in similar situations since the
season-opening loss to Milwaukee. But now it's 63 games in, and the
problems are becoming more magnified.
這樣的惡夢自從開幕戰敗給密爾瓦基公鹿之後,就不斷糾纏七六人。然而,六十
三場比賽之後的今天,眼前的危機已經越來越明顯了。
