Popovich says Bowen not answer for Spurs

波波說包叔不是馬刺的解答

LOS ANGELES — In Spurs coach Gregg Popovich's estimation, the biggest
problem facing his team going forward is on defense.

  據波波的看法，他的球隊要更上層樓的最大癥結在於防守。

Heading into Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Spurs were
giving up 96.5 points per game, a Popovich-era record, and were tied for 13th
in the NBA in field-goal defense (45.7 percent).

  星期六打快艇前，馬刺場均失分96.5分，而同時對方命中率(45.7 FG%)並列為為波波
執掌教鞭以來的(最糟)紀錄。

For a team that is typically one of the best defensive teams in the league,
and began the season vowing to return to those heights, this season's
futility has been a bitter pill to swallow.

  身為在NBA中最好的防守球隊之一，並於開季時誓言重返榮耀，今年的徒勞無功已成了
苦水肚裡吞。

“It's been a big disappointment this season that we have not jelled as a
group, defensively,” Popovich said. “And it shows in our record.”

  「今年真是令人失意，我們沒把團隊防守作好」波波說。「而這點就顯現在帳面上了」

Popovich has only scant clues as to why the defensive slide that began two
years ago has continued into this season. One explanation he does not buy —
 a lack of Bruce Bowen.

  波波只是對關於從兩年前防守面就開始下滑至今的這點察覺不足。有一說法他並不
認同 — 少了Bruce Bowen。

Bowen, an eight-time member of the NBA's All-Defensive team, retired last
summer at age 38 after being dealt to Milwaukee.

  包叔，八次入選NBA防守第一隊，去年夏天以38歲之齡交易到公鹿隊後退休了。

“If Bruce was able to continue to do what he does, he'd be doing it for us
or someone else right now,” Popovich said.

  「如果老包能繼續打的話，他現在就會在我們這兒，或是在其他隊上打球了」波波說。

Even if the Spurs were able to somehow re-acquire a 2005 version of Bowen,
Popovich said, it would make only a small dent in this team's defensive woes.

  縱使馬刺能用時光機去得到"Bowen-2005版"，波波說這只能作為今年防守災難的杯水
車薪。

“Bruce was a great defender, but it's not just one guy that makes it,”
 Popovich said. “There's something called team defense, where five guys have
to react appropriately. We just haven't reacted well.”

  「老包是很棒的防守者，但他不是葉問」波波說。「有個東西叫團隊防守，是要五個
人湊在一起玩低。我們只不過是化學反應不夠好罷了」

The Spurs turned in one of their best defensive efforts of the season against
the Clippers.

  馬刺這場對快艇卯足了勁，打出了本季最佳的防守之一。

A vote of confidence: Spurs center/forward Antonio McDyess was pleased to
hear the news that Kim Hughes got the nod as Clippers interim coach after
Mike Dunleavy stepped away from the bench.

  McDyess為Kim Hughes在Dunleavy掰了之後，於快艇過渡時期執掌教鞭感到很高興。

Hughes, who was coaching his first game in that capacity Saturday, was an
assistant in Denver during McDyess' second tour of duty there from 1998-2002.

  Hughes這場比賽是他的處女秀，自1998至2002年於金塊隊 — McDyess二遊之處 — 擔
任助理。

“He's a good guy and a great big-man coach,” McDyess said.

  「他是個好人，同時也是長人們的好教練」McDyess說。

Rookie advice: If there's one Spurs player who sympathizes with the plight of
Clippers rookie Blake Griffin, it's McDyess.

  如果說有哪個馬刺球員會同情快艇狀元Blake Griffin的處境，那就是McDyess。

McDyess suffered a debilitating fractured left patella during a preseason
game in 2002, which caused him to miss that entire season. Griffin, the No. 1
pick in the draft, suffered the same injury in the same manner — attempting
a preseason dunk — and will not play this season.

  McDyess在2002年季前賽時經歷過破壞性左髕骨骨折，讓他整季報銷。狀元Griffin今
年也受到了同樣的傷 — 在季前賽的一次企圖灌籃中 — 而使得今年報銷。

“It was frustrating,” McDyess said. “I think a lot of people would have
given up. It takes a while to regain confidence in your knee and your playing
ability.”

  「這真沮喪」McDyess說。「我認為很多人會放棄。對於你的膝蓋、你的發揮，需要
一段時間來重拾信心」

"They'll be all right. I never worry about the Spurs," Nowitzki said. "By the
time the playoffs start, they'll be ready. All this right now doesn't matter.
They'll be right there."
          -- Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki, who scored 16 of his 26 points
          during Dallas' 42-point fourth quarter, and the Mavericks overcame a
          10-point deficit for a 112-103 victory over the Spurs on Friday night.
連諾佬都叫大家冷靜點，靜下心來慢慢看球呢!
