Round One Riot: (1) Pistons vs. (8) Magic
首輪喧鬧︰(1)活塞vs(8)魔術

Biggest Reason You Should Watch:
你必須準時收看比賽的理由

   The Pistons are heavily favored, but this should be a grudge match. The
Magic were swept 4-0 by Detroit in the regular season, which has started to
annoy guys like Jameer Nelson. Plus, there's the chance that these might be
Grant Hill's final games -- if this series goes five and he opts to retire
this summer, he'll have ended his career in the same building in which it
began.
    活塞一面倒地被看好，但這將會是一場不情願的對決。魔術在季賽被底特律4比0
橫掃，這顯然讓像Jameer Nelson 這類人有點不太開心。再加上，這可能會是 Grant
Hill最後的比賽──如果系列賽打到第五場，而且他決定在夏天退休的話，他將在開
啟他球員生涯的同一座球場中結束他的NBA之旅。

Orlando Can Win If
魔術不是沒有機會，如果...

   Detroit's team bus falls off a cliff on the way to Amway Arena. Trouble
is, there are no cliffs in the greater Orlando area. Detroit will definitely
show rust -- they haven't played a meaningful game since facing the Heat,
Bulls and Cavaliers the first week of April -- but it would take a massive
stroke of luck in the form of multiple injuries to the Pistons' starting
lineup for the Magic to pull this off.
    底特律的球隊巴士在前往Amway Arena 的路上掉進懸崖。但問題是，廣大的奧蘭
多境內並沒有任何懸崖。底特律毫無疑問地將會有點提不起勁──他們在四月第一週
面對熱火、公牛和騎士前沒有打到任何一場有意義的比賽──但即使魔術面對的是先
發陣容多數帶傷的活塞，他們仍然需要龐大的機運才能過關。

Detroit Can Win If:
底特律將獲勝，如果...

   They avoid said cliffs. No team in the East has played in more playoff
games than the Pistons over the past five years. To these guys, the regular
season is just one long series of exhibitions until the games start to
matter. They swept the first four games against Orlando this year, and they
could easily sweep the next four.
    他們避開了上頭提到的懸崖。沒有任何東區隊伍在過去五年比活塞打過更多季後
賽。對這些傢伙而言，在季後賽開始前的比賽只不過像是漫長的展覽一般。他們在本
季對戰奧蘭多的四場比賽全數獲勝，而且可能也將輕鬆地拿下接下來的四場。

Stud of the Series:
系列賽的防滑釘

   Dwight Howard. The Pistons are loathe to double-team any big man, even
giving Shaquille O'Neal single coverage in recent seasons. So Howard should
be a one-man wrecking crew, carrying the offense and cleaning the glass,
especially when matched up against the immobile Chris Webber.
    Dwight Howard。活塞非常討厭包夾任何長人，即使是Shaq，這幾季他們也一律
採用單守的策略。Howard 可能成為一人破壞大隊，帶頭進攻並抓下每一顆板子，特
別是和腳傷纏身的Chris Webber放對的時候。

Biggest Liability:
最慘烈的負債人

   Jameer Nelson. Chauncey Billups is one of the strongest point guards in
the league, and he's taken to abusing the diminutive Nelson whenever they've
squared off this year. It'll be hard for the Magic to hide Nelson on defense,
as switching him off to any other player presents even more of a height
mismatch. When the Magic don't offer Nelson a contract extension this summer,
he'll have Billups to thank.
    Jameer Nelson。Chauncey Billups是聯盟最強壯的幾個控衛之一，而且他在今
年對戰的每一場比賽都上場狂碾弱小的Jameer Nelson。對魔術來說，要在防守端隱
藏Nelson 是極為困難的，其他任何活塞球員對上他都有更多的身高優勢。如果魔術
暑假沒有給Nelson一份延長合約，他的確該找Billups算帳。

FanHouse Prediction:
身為球迷的預測

   Pistons in five. Detroit has the talent to sweep, but this early in the
playoffs it won't be a surprise if the Pistons let their concentration wander
just a bit and drop a game, likely Game 3 in Orlando.
    活塞五場買單。底特律有橫掃的實力，但在季後賽的早期，即使活塞放鬆他們
的注意力並且輸掉了一場比賽，比如說第三戰在奧蘭多，這並不值得驚訝。
