Man on the spot
焦點人物
Rolling the dice
翻滾吧！袋鼠
Nazr Mohammed may inherit the starting role, but could Antonio McDyess be ready
to take on a more prominent role?
回教人可能會補上班蛙離隊後的先發空缺，但袋鼠是否已經做好準備去負起責任更為
重大的角色了呢？
McDyess has enjoyed two injury-free seasons in Detroit, excelling in the role
of sixth man for the Pistons. It’s a role that has kept his playing time in
check (21.1 mpg last season), so as not to limit his effectiveness or risk
aggravating his surgically repaired left knee.
袋鼠在底特律已經享受了兩個無病無痛的快樂球季(唯一的缺憾就是指上猶虛)，專責
扮演活塞陣中的最佳第六人。那是一個可以將他的上場時間控制在一定範圍的角色(上個球
季他平均上場時間僅21.1分鐘)，所以不會減低他的效率或使他暴露在接受過手術的左膝傷
勢復發或惡化的風險之下。
As the Pistons top reserve, there are certainly minutes to be had behind
Mohammed and Rasheed Wallace if he is willing and able to accept them. If not,
enter 37-year-old Dale Davis, currently the only other NBA-ready option in the
paint.
身為活塞首席替補，如果袋鼠願意而且也有能力承擔，那在回教人和溪蛙之外肯定還
有一定量的時間需要他去幫忙分攤。如果不行，那活塞別無他法，只能將陣中剩下唯一一
位已經證明過能在NBA這個層級比賽中的禁區內討生活但已經高齡37歲的D.Davis推上火線
了。

THE STAT - 73
特殊數據 - 73
The Pistons starting five in 2005-06 set the NBA record for the most
consecutive starts by the same five players, beginning the first 73 straight
games.
活塞前先發五虎在'05-'06年球季寫下一支球隊由同一組球員連續先發最多場次的紀錄
，他們在球季前73場都一同先發上陣。

Coach's Corner
教練的部份
X&O STRENGTH
戰術板上的優點
There is no doubt that they still have the best four on the floor in Hamilton,
Prince, Billups and Rasheed. They all can do things with the basketball inside
and out, they all can handle, they can all bring it up, they can all score and
they can all shoot the basketball which is always going to make them a
contender...He has tremendous confidence in Billups, Hamilton and Prince and
has the respect of Rasheed Wallace. That’s his strength.
毋庸置疑地活塞仍擁有包括RIP、小王子、槍蜥和溪蛙等四位最佳球員在場上，他們一
樣都能裡能外，一樣都能夠控制場面，一樣都能自己帶球，一樣都能得分而且他們的投射
功夫一樣都能對敵隊造成威脅...他對槍蜥、RIP和小王子深具信心而且也得到溪蛙的敬重
，那就是他的優點。
X&O WEAKNESS
戰術板上的弱點
He will have the challenge with a bit of a change in offensive philosophy as
Nazr Mohammed takes over for Ben Wallace.
活塞在進攻端有了一些小改變，回教人將取代班蛙的位置，老桑必須面對這個挑戰。
HEAD COACH PHILOSOPHY
總教練的心理部分
The most experienced coach in the division and with that comes the highest
expectations of all the coaches...Because he has coached at so many levels, and
so many seasons, there isn’t much that Flip hasn’t seen as a coach.
身為這個分區當中執教經驗最豐富的教練，當然大家對他的期待也是這分區所有教練
中最高的...因為他曾經在許多層級的隊伍中執教，而且也執教了相當多個球季，幾乎所有
大風大浪他都見識過了。

Scouting Report
眾家球評的評論
‧They are going to lose a little bit with Ben Wallace leaving, but I think
them or Cleveland will win the Central.
活塞將會因為班蛙的離開而失落一些什麼，但我還是相信他們或克里夫蘭騎士能成為
中央組龍頭。
‧A big key is Rasheed Wallace. Their low-post scoring, with Ben, was almost
non-existent. That's going to fall on Rasheed.
關鍵人物是溪蛙，他們低位主要的得分手班蛙已經離開了，而那份工作將會落在溪蛙
身上。
‧They'll get solid play from their perimeter, with Chauncey Billups, Rip
Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince.
活塞陣中槍蜥、RIP和小王子幾個外線球員將拿出強硬的球風。
‧They play their guys a ton of minutes because they are not very deep. They
re-signed Lindsey, who's a little bit older and does bring some stuff off the
bench, but that's a weakness of theirs -- they do have to play their guys so
much.
先發球員佔去了大部分的上場時間，這是因為他們板凳深度不足。他們留下了獵人，
雖然他又老了一歲，不過確實能成為對球隊有所貢獻的板凳球員，但那同時也是球隊的弱
點所在 -- 他們將會相當倚賴先發球員們的表現。
‧Defensively, they're still going to be good. Those guys guard. They're going
to be fine.
防守方面他們仍會有出色的表現，那些球員願意防守，他們沒問題的。
‧I think Ben gets a ton of calls that really helped them. Now all of a sudden
, those charges and no-calls are going to be called fouls on them.
我想班蛙吸收了一脫拉庫真的對球隊有所幫助的犯規，現在突然間，那些犯規將移轉
到剩餘的球員身上了。
