[外電] lots of playoff surprises so far

The Artist Formerly Known as Mr. Big Shot

Look, I know the Pistons are still giddy about their 93-point explosion
against a 40-win team last night, but they have to be gravely concerned about
their offense. Even with Tayshaun Prince absolutely killing Andre Iguodala,
the Pistons are tied with Philadelphia at 2-2, a shocking state of affairs
that's mainly the result of their point guard's struggles.

活塞雖然扳成了 2-2 平手，不過他們必須擔心自己的進攻。而且活塞的控衛
表線實在不怎麼樣，還好有小王子鎖住一辜答臘來相抵消。

Chauncey Billups was the best player on the league's second-best team in the
regular season. In the playoffs he's 12-for-42 with 16 turnovers, and he's
taking the Pistons' offense down with him. Even in the Game 4 win, he was
4-for-16 with six turnovers.

槍溪是球隊戰績第二好的主力控衛，可是季後賽四場的表現 12-42 外帶 16 失誤，
狀況到了 G4 依然還未好轉。

If this sounds familiar, it's because it is. Detroit's offense went into the
tank in May 2006 and again in 2007, and Billups led the way both times. It's
not just his shooting either; he hasn't been as good at getting the others
involved. In 37 playoff games over the past three seasons, Billups has only
four double-figure assist games -- whereas in the past three regular seasons
he has 64.

這是似曾相似的場景，的確是，06 和 07 都發生過。說個嚇人的數據，
他在近三年 37 場的季後賽中，只有 4 場繳雙位數的助攻。而三年例行
賽他卻可以累積了 64 場。

So here we are in late April, and the Pistons' offense once again suddenly
has gone off the rails. They're shooting 44.5 percent after making 45.8
percent in the regular season; worse yet, they're committing 17.3 turnovers
per game after committing the fewest in the league -- just 11.7 a game -- in
the regular season.

進入季後賽的活塞，命中率從 45.8% 降到現在 44.5%，更糟的是那 17.3 次失誤。
而活塞例行賽是傲人的場平均 11.7 失誤，聯盟第一。

It's four games, and I don't want to read too much into such a small sample.
But given the Pistons' history the past two springs, it's an alarming trend.
And if they don't turn it around, they won't survive long enough to extend
their string of conference finals appearances.

現在只打四場，我不要解讀太多，不過如果活塞無法扭轉現在的情勢，
未來的路也不會太遠。
