Game 4 Take: Bill Russell

Historic Comeback and Close Out Game Pressure
Posted by Bill Russell on June 13, 2008, 10:00 p.m. ET

Root of the C's Historic Comeback -- Defense
Every night it seems that either the Celtics or the Lakers get a big lead and
then has a difficult time holding onto it. But I think to the Celtics
advantage is that all year long they’ve been a good defensive team and with
my background I obviously think that’s the best way to do it. The guys are
playing with intensity, but they’re basically playing the same way they
played all year. If you get behind, the only way you can catch up is defense.
You can’t match baskets or outshoot another team and hope to catch up,
especially a good offensive team. So the guys are playing good. 

塞爾蒂克歷史性的逆轉根源－防守
似乎每一晚，不管是塞爾蒂克或是湖人取得大幅度領先，都沒有辦法守成。但是我認為
對於塞爾蒂克的優勢，是一整年以來他們都是很好的防守球隊，根據我的背景，我認為
這就是最好的方法。這些傢伙很認真，但是基本上，他們就是照一年來的方法打球。如
果你落後，你唯一可以追上的方法就是防守。你不能比賽投籃，或是射贏另一支球隊來
追上比數，尤其是一支防守很好的球隊。所以這些傢伙打的很好。

My Explanation of Good Defense
Good defense sometimes does not result in a turnover or blocked shot or steal
or anything. Good defense will get the offensive team out of a rhythm and one
of the keys to shooting is rhythm. That is why you see guys with open shots
not make them. Well, good defense makes you shoot before you want to shoot or
after you want to shoot, not when you want to shoot. Defense can sometimes be
deceptive and you’ll say, well, they’re not shooting well and they had open
shots. Well those shots aren’t open. A guy is standing there by himself, but
he has to shoot the ball before the defense gets there or fake and shoot after
he leaves. So he isn’t shooting when he wants to shoot and that will throw
your rhythm off. What looks like a good shot is not really a good shot.
That’s what happened in Game 4. 

我對於好防守的解釋
好防守有時候不見得會造成失誤，火鍋，或是抄截之類的。好的防守會讓進攻球隊失去
節奏，而投籃的關鍵之一就是節奏。這是為什麼有空檔的球員還是投不進。好的防守，
讓你在想投籃之前或是之後出手，而不是讓你在想投籃的時候出手。防守有時候會騙
人的，你可能會想說，他們投的不太好，但是他們有空擋。但是那些機會不是空檔。一
個球員單獨站在那裡，但是他得在防守補上來前出手，或是作假動作騙開防守後出手。
所以他不是在想投籃的時候出手，這會讓你失去節奏。看起來是個好出手機會，不見得
真的是個好機會。這就是第四戰發生的事。

The Greatest Celtics Comeback Ever?
I don’t know if it was the greatest comeback ever – I haven’t seen all the
games [cackles]. It is a great comeback, of course. For one game in the Finals,
it’s probably as good as it gets. 

塞爾蒂克史上最偉大的逆轉？
我不知道這是不是最偉大的逆轉－我不是每場比賽都有看（大笑）。這當然是個偉大的
逆轉。對於總冠軍賽裡的一場球來說，這真的是好的不能再好了。

Great Celtic Comebacks When I Played
We came back from 2-0 in the ’69 Finals against the Lakers, but we had a
better one when we came back from 3-1 to Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference
Finals in 1968. We won three straight, including two in Philadelphia. In ’69,
though, the key was that I never said we were behind. You’re never behind
until you lose a home game. If you’ve got four road games, you only have to
win one of them. The last game was the easiest game of the series for us. We
had figured out how to play the Lakers and we changed some things in the way
we had been playing. If we had played the way we’d been playing, they would
have beaten us. We had a versatile offense as well as defense. As a coach I
realized that while they were a good team, they were not fast enough afoot.
What I told my guys was, they’re a good basketball team, but how are they at
track and field because we’re going to run tonight [cackles]. 

我參與過的塞爾蒂克偉大逆轉
我們在1969年總冠軍賽裡，從0比2的劣勢中逆轉湖人，但是我們還有更好的，那是1968
年東區總決賽，我們以1比3落後費城。然而，關鍵是我從不說我們落後。你從不會落後
，直到你輸了一場主場比賽。如果你有四場客場比賽，你只要贏其中一場就好了。最後
一場對我們來說，是整個系列最簡單的一場。我們已經知道如何和湖人對抗，而且我們
改變了一點打球方式。如果我們一直照著之前的方法打球，他們就可以擊敗我們。我們
有堅強的進攻和防守。身為一個教練，我發現雖然他們是支好球隊，但是他們不夠快。
我告訴我的隊員，他們是支很好的籃球隊，但是如果在田徑場上呢，我們今晚要跑起來
。（大笑）

The Difficulty of The Closeout Game
In a closeout game, the pressure is on the team that is ahead because if
you’re ahead 3-1 and you lose one or two games, then they say, you should
have closed them out. So the pressure basically falls on the guys that are
ahead. Game 5 would be one of those games for the Celtics because you’ve got
a security that if you do lose, you’ve still got two more games. Well, that
can give you a false sense of security and make you not be as tenacious as you
need to be. 

關門戰的困難
在關門戰，壓力是在領先的球隊之上，因為如果你以3比1領先，然後你輸了一兩場球，
他們會說你早該把他們解決掉的。所以基本上壓力是在領先者上。第五戰對塞爾蒂克來
說會是這樣的比賽之一，因為你有一種安全感，好像即便你輸球，你還有兩場領先。這
種安全感是很錯誤的，會讓你不像你需要的認真。

My Promise to Kevin Garnett
Earlier this season I sat down with Kevin Garnett and told him that I expect
him to win a couple of championships here in Boston because of the way he
plays, but if that doesn’t happen, then I’ll give him one of my rings
because he plays like a true Celtic and a true champion. But the other night,
I said, I sure hope you win so I can be sure I can keep my rings [cackles]. 

我對Kevin Garnett的承諾
這季稍早，我和 Kevin Garnett坐下來聊聊，我跟他說我期待他在波士頓贏幾個冠軍，
因為他打球的方式，但是如果沒有發生，我會送他我的一只戒指，因為他打球的方式，
像是個真正的塞爾蒂克球員，和真正的冠軍。但是另外一晚，我說，我當然希望你贏，
這樣我才可以保證留下我的戒指。（大笑）

被Bill Russell這樣說......:)
