Doc Rivers has occasionally felt the need to rein in his team this season.
Doc偶爾覺得它需要拿條鞭子好好的驅策一下他的球隊。
Be it Kevin Garnett last December in Sacramento, Paul Pierce in a
nose-to-nose trash-talking match with the Knicks’ Quentin Richardson, or
Kendrick Perkins on just about any occasion, the Celtics coach is forever on
alert for players who are about to cross the line.
不管是KG去年12月(被打到眼角出血)，PP對尼克隊阿Q的垃圾話，或者是Perk在場上的突
發狀況，Doc必須永遠保持著警戒。
And now that they are spanking the young Hawks in a first-round playoff
series that continues tomorrow night with Game 3 in Atlanta, the chippiness
has grown.
現在Celtics在第一輪狠狠的踹了年輕的老鷹屁股，明晚他們將在老鷹主場進行Game 3。
Rivers doesn’t want his players, walking as tall as ever with a 2-0 edge, to
back down. He also doesn’t want them to get thrown out.
Doc不希望他的球員因為2-0就鬆懈了下來，他也不想在季後賽出局。
Judging from some of the hard fouls on both sides during the Celtics’ Game 2
win Wednesday night, it’s not surprising that the coach’s alarm has sounded.
由於第二戰雙方的幾個hard fouls，雙方教練的緊張不怎麼讓人意外。
“I don’t mind the hard fouls by either team,” Rivers said. “I just don’t
like the trash talking and silly stuff where everyone gets in each other’s
face.”
＂我對於雙方那幾個hard fouls並不怎麼在意”Doc是這麼說的 “我只是不喜歡雙方你
來我往的垃圾話＂（KG跟PP:囧）
Rivers undoubtedly was thinking back to Josh Smith’s late hit on Pierce
Wednesday, and Perkins’ rush to get up in the young Smith’s face.
Doc無疑的十分在意Josh Smith對PP的那個重擊，以及Perk之後對Smith的那個大巴掌。
Pierce strained his lower back on the play, and James Posey was later
whistled for a flagrant 1 foul on Smith.
Pierce由於那個play使的他的下背部有些許的拉傷，不久之後Posey也被判了一個對Smith
的惡意犯規。
“I thought we jumped in, and they jumped in,” said Rivers. “Honestly, I don
’t even know if there was a hard foul in the game - they weren’t that hard.
I thought the foul on Paul was hard. The only thing I told (referee) Eddie
Malloy was if you’re going to call a flagrant foul on Posey, then the one on
Paul has to be that way as well. Other than that, I thought the officiating
was really good, because they made sure that it didn’t go anywhere.”
＂老實說，我根本不太清楚到底比賽中有沒有hard fouls-根本就沒有那麼嚴重。 我只
認為對PP的那個犯規是頗嚴重的。所以我告訴裁判如果你們要吹Posey惡意犯規的話，那
你們也應該對Smith做出同樣的裁決。除此之外，我認為其他判決十分的合理因為比賽並
沒有因此而變質＂
“It’s nothing we can’t handle,” said Perkins. “Our team plays physical
at practice every day, so it’s nothing that we can’t hand. Yeah, they gave
a foul to one of our superstars, but he came back and competed.”
＂我想事情沒那麼嚴重”Perkins說”我們每天的練習都打的很強硬，所以那沒什麼大不
了。他們對我們的巨星犯了規，但是PP還是回來了並把比賽完成＂
Extra care for Pierce
Pierce, the superstar in question, reported for treatment at the team’s
Waltham training facility yesterday, and declared himself to be in good
condition.
Pierce昨天接受了治療，並表示他的狀況十分良好。
He returned to action Wednesday night and finished with 14 points in the
victory.
他在禮拜三的晚上依就回到了比賽並拿下十四分為塞隊鎖定了勝利。
He received treatment from Vladimir Shulman - the Celtics’ longtime massage
therapist - and went home to rest up for today’s practice and flight to
Atlanta.
Pierce也在接受了馬殺雞治療後，回家準備今天的練習並備戰亞特蘭大。
Just getting started
The Celtics had little trouble holding their homecourt edge. They beat the
Hawks by an average margin of 21 points - up from their average winning
margin of 14.6 in three regular-season games against the Hawks.
在家取勝對於Celtics來說完全不是問題，他們徹底的擊敗老鷹。
But they’re not exactly impressed with themselves.
但這對他們來說並不是什麼印象深刻的大事。
“They told me the playoffs don’t start until you win one on the road,”
said Rajon Rondo . “Hopefully we start it (tomorrow).”
＂大家總是說季後賽要直到在客場取得第一勝才算開始＂Rondo說＂希望我們的季後賽趕
快開始＂
