San Antonio - The movement has been subtle, and that's the way it will remain.
But slowly, this Nuggets team has moved away from being Carmelo Anthony's and
followed the on-and-off court leadership of Allen Iverson.

這個趨勢在不知不覺中啟動，未來也會依照這個方式繼續存在。慢慢地，金塊隊從
 Carmelo Anthony 的領導中，轉向追隨 Allen Iverson 的腳步，這位場上場下都
影響著金塊的球員。

"He's meant a lot to us," Nuggets reserve guard J.R. Smith said. "Since he's
been here he's been the heart of the team. Everybody is looking to see what
he's going to do, what he's going to say next. He's pretty much, I wouldn't say
the reason why we play basketball, but the reason why we play so hard for this
team."

金塊替補球員 J.R. Smith 表示：「他對我們來說意義重大，他來到這裡之後就成
為丹佛之心。每個人期待他接下來會做什麼、會說什麼。 A.I. 帶來巨大的影響力，
我們為什麼打籃球？我不會去想這個問題；但我知道為什麼我們如此努力，為這支
球隊奮戰。」

That was never more evident than in Game 1 of the Nuggets' first-round playoff
series Sunday night against San Antonio.

禮拜天晚上，金塊季後賽的第一輪，面對馬刺隊的第一場比賽，就是最好的證明。

Iverson was the best player on the court in Denver's surprising win, scoring 31
points on 11-of-22 shooting and frustrating the Spurs throughout with his
ability to break down their defense.

 Iverson 是這場意外勝利中場上的最佳球員。他22投11中，拿下31分，並利用他破
壞能力，讓馬刺倍感挫折。

It is the kind of experience and leadership that the Nuggets' front office,
including Mark Warkentien, vice president of basketball operations, envisioned
when Denver traded for Iverson in December.

當金塊在十二月交易來 Iverson ，球隊高層包括副總裁 Mark Warkentien 所展望
的，就是這樣的經驗與領導氣質。

"Playoff time, you need star players," Warkentien said. "Rotations are
shortened up, and for some of our guys this is the first time around the block.
A.I. has done laps around this block."

Warkentien 表示：「在季後賽，你需要明星球員。季後賽可用之兵將會減少，而我
們隊上有一些球員是第一次打季後賽，而 A.I. 已經是季後賽常客了。」

Iverson said it was never his intent to take over the team from Anthony, and it
still isn't. He did acknowledge, however, that he has assumed more of a vocal
leadership role with the Nuggets than he ever did in Philadelphia.

 Iverson 說過，他絕對不會想要取代 Anthony 在球隊的領導位置，事實上也如此。
然而他承認，他認為現在的他比費城時期擔任更多精神談話的領袖角色。

"I wanted to add that as part of the team because I feel like that is something
that we would need," Iverson said. "I've never been a verbal leader. I've
always tried to lead by example; go out and play hard every night and you know,
show my teammates that I will give everything I've got.

 Iverson 表示：「我想要把這樣的角色帶進金塊隊中，我覺得這應該是我們球隊需
要的東西。我從來都不是發表精神談話的球員，一直以來，我都是想要以身作則，
每晚努力上場比賽，向隊友展現我的決心，我會把所有我能做的事情貢獻給這支球隊。」

"Now, I feel like, with the circumstances and team that we have, that I have to
be more of a verbal leader. I know we have leaders on this team already; Melo's
words mean a lot. Marcus Camby's words mean a lot. But I just try to come and
add something that this team has never had."

「在這樣的環境以及球隊，現在我覺得我必須多多擔任精神談話領袖這樣的角色。我
明白球隊已經有領導者。 Melo 說的話影響力很大、 Marcus Camby 說的話影響力很
大，所以我試著從中導入一樣這支球隊沒有的元素。」

Warkentien has noticed.

 Warkentien 已經注意到了。

"You look at him for leadership; he's been providing it," Warkentien said.
"There's a media perception of him, but everywhere we turned in talking to
people that we trust, they loved the guy. We love guys that hate to lose. As an
organization, we really like guys that hate to lose. And he's (a perfect) fit
on that one."

 Warkentien 表示：「你希望他帶來領導球隊的能力， A.I. 已經證明他有這個能力。
媒體對他的看法存在已久，但無論我們身在何處，我們都告訴人們，我們相信他、金
塊球員愛他。我們喜愛憎恨輸球的球員；身為球團高層，我們真的喜愛這樣的球員，
而他就是這種球員的代言人。」

Said Camby: "You always hear the rumors about him being a selfish player and
he's this and he's that. But he's been great, great to everybody. He respects
his teammates, one through (15). He gets along with everybody.

坎比說：「你們總是聽到傳聞，說他是自私的球員，他怎樣不好、怎樣惡劣。但是對
我們每個人來說，他一直都很棒，他尊敬他的隊友。 A.I. 來到這裡之後，樂意跟每
位球員相處。」

"He's not standoffish, like he used to be in the past. His game definitely
speaks volumes, but he's also a great scorer, great penetrator and a great
passer. He's unselfish from that aspect. If you're open, he's going to try to
give you the basketball. He's been more than expected in my eyes."

「他並不是以前那位待人冷淡的人。他的比賽說明了一切，他還是一位偉大的得分手、
很厲害的帶球突破者、同時也是很棒的分球者。從這觀點來看，他一點都不自私，如
果你有空檔，他會試著把球傳到你手中，他比我眼中看到的 Iverson 還厲害。」

He was exactly what the Spurs expected. Iverson has made a career of shredding
the Spurs, averaging 29 points against them. San Antonio, which double-teamed
Iverson at times in Game 1, will probably make further adjustments for Game 2,
but the Spurs are hoping A.I. stops himself.

他完全如馬刺預料中難纏。 Iverson 生涯一直專門撕裂馬刺，對戰平均得29分。馬刺
隊在第一戰幾次包夾 Iverson 。第二戰可能會做一些調整，但是馬刺隊希望 A.I. 自
己熄火。

Asked what they could do to keep the ball from Iverson, Spurs guard Michael
Finley said: "That would be hard to do with him being the point guard and
handling the ball so much. Besides, Allen has been scoring so many points for
so many years now that there's no defense that we could throw at him that he
hasn't seen. All we can do is keep making him take tough shots and hope that
he's not making them like he did in the last game."

被問到馬刺隊可以做什麼防守佈陣，盡量不要讓 Iverson 拿到球？馬刺後衛 Michael
Finley說：「當他擔任控球後衛，掌握控球時間時，這是一項困難的任務。多年以來，
他總是可以拿下這麼多分數，我們對他的防守也招數用盡，我們只希望讓他出手難度提
高，並祈禱他不要像第一場比賽一樣投進這麼多球。」

TIME FOR TWEAKING
Game 1 is in the books. Now, it's time for adjustments. San Antonio's first
salvo two years ago was to bring Manu Ginobili, who had started the first game,
off the bench. What's in store this time around? The Post's Chris Dempsey takes
a look:

苦惱時刻。

第一戰結果已成定局，現在是做出調整的時刻。馬刺隊二年前出的第一張牌，就是把
第一戰先發的 Manu Ginobili 放到板凳上。這次雙方還有什麼法寶？丹佛郵報
 Chris Dempsey 列出下列幾點。

NUGGETS
1. Get the bench going: The Nuggets must get more from Linas Kleiza and J.R.
Smith as the series moves forward.
2. Run, run, run: Three fast breaks in Game 1 aren't enough for coach George
Karl.
3. Shore up on defense: The Nuggets can't count on Tony Parker and Ginobili to
miss so many layups again.

金塊隊

一、起動板凳暴徒模式：隨著系列賽拉長，金塊隊必須從 Linas Kleiza 與 J.R.smith
    身上獲得一些貢獻

二、向前衝吧：教練認為，第一戰三分的快攻分數是不夠的。

三、撐住防守陣線：金塊隊不能指望 Tony Parker 與 Ginobili 會再次錯失這麼多上籃
    機會了。

SPURS
1. Get Tim Duncan involved early: The Spurs' big man started 0-for-8 on his way
to an un-Duncan like performance.
2. Use more zone: The Spurs don't use much zone but might need to change to
contain A.I. and Melo.
3. Get aggressive: The Spurs shot 10 free throws to the Nuggets' 25. They'll
want to reverse that stat.

馬刺隊

一、讓 Tim Duncan 早點進入狀況： 好似沒有 Duncan 在場上的馬刺隊，三主將比賽一
    開始八投皆墨。

二、擺出更多區域防守：馬刺一向不使用很多區防，但是為了牽制住 A.I. 和 Melo ，
    這也許是他們需要改變的方式。

三、更加積極：相較於金塊隊25次的罰球機會，馬刺只有10次。他們會希望扭轉這項
    數據。
