The Pistons haven't lost a game in two weeks, not since a bad second half
against the Utah Jazz did them in on Dec. 12.
自從12月12號對上猶他爵士那場比賽下半場大崩盤輸球後，活塞已經連續兩週不識輸
球滋味了。
Since then, they have won seven straight games, and only one -- the
double-overtime thriller against Memphis -- was really close.
在那之後他們已經7連勝，除了唯一一場 -- 經歷二度延長，嚇出滿身大汗後才由槍蜥
投進致勝一擊打敗孟斐斯灰熊 -- 那場比賽贏得真的很驚險。
"I think our whole team has picked it up," center Ben Wallace said. "We're
getting the ball moved from side to side, forcing teams to defend, not letting
teams come out and lock in on the plays we're running but force them to cover
everyone on the floor. And when we do that, I think we're at our best."
中鋒班蛙說"我想我們整支球隊已經重新振作起來了，我們讓球保持良好的流動，專注
在防守端，不輕易放過對手，全隊都動起來，把場上的每一個對手守死。當我們這麼做時
，我想球隊的狀況可以說是好極了。"
There is really only good news and better news about this latest winning streak
. The good news is that even before it, the Pistons were playing fine
basketball, losing only three times in their first 18 games.
關於最近這一波連勝，這裡只有好消息以及更好的消息。好消息是在這波連勝之前，
活塞原本表現就很好，他們在前18場比賽只輸了3場。
The better news is that they still see lots of room for improvement. Asked if
his team is playing as crisply as it could, Pistons coach Flip Saunders said, "
At this point. We're going to play a lot more crisply as we get down the road."
更好的消息則是他們發現仍有很大的進步空間。被問及他的球隊是否已將自身能力發
揮得淋漓盡致，教練F.Saunders說"此時此刻，我只能說一路走來，球隊的表現是越來越好
了。"
Some teams would certainly sit back and enjoy a 22-3 record a bit more than
this. Some teams would go out West for three games and win two, as Detroit did,
and feel proud. But this championship-minded group came home from that trip
angry, led by Wallace, who spoke about his frustrations.
某些球隊可能會在取得22勝3敗的出色戰績後就鬆懈下來，比活塞還享受這樣的成績。
某些球隊會在遠征西區取得和活塞相同的3戰2勝成績後而沾沾自喜。不過這支目標直指總
冠軍的隊伍結束這趟客場之旅後是帶著憤怒的情緒回家，班蛙帶頭說出了他的不滿。
Since then, Wallace's game has shot through the Palace rafters. He has averaged
15 rebounds during the seven-game streak, including a season-high 21 against
San Antonio on Christmas Day.
從那以來，班蛙的表現好到會讓群眾喝采的音量足以將奧本山宮殿的天花板給掀掉。
他在這7場連勝中，平均抓下15個籃板，包括在聖誕節那天本季新高的21籃板。
And the Pistons' opponents have averaged 86.6 points in that stretch.
在這波連勝中，活塞將對手得分壓至到僅有86.6分。
"It's been keyed by Ben," Saunders said. "Since that Utah game, our last seven
games, Ben's been on a tear as far as defensively, rebounding-wise."
Saunders說"班蛙是這波連勝的關鍵人物，自從猶他那場比賽以來，我們過去7場比賽
，班蛙以抓籃板掛頭牌的防守功夫全面施展開來。
It seems no opponent is worth overlooking to these Pistons, although tonight's
matchup might offer the best chance for that all season.
對活塞而言，聯盟中似乎沒有一支球隊值得一看，儘管今晚與暴龍的交手可能是整季
他們持續將開季戰績向上提升的最佳機會。
Sandwiched between the Christmas Day game and Thursday's against the Miami Heat
, the Pistons must do their NBA duty and play the 6-21 Raptors tonight.
夾在聖誕節與馬刺的比賽及禮拜四晚上與邁阿密熱火的比賽之間，活塞今晚必須遵循
賽制安排與6勝21敗的暴龍交手。
But if things continue as they have, it shouldn't cause these Pistons to take a
night off.
不過如果他們持續之前打球的方式，活塞球員們應該不會因為今晚的對手好欺負就鬆
懈心情。
"Before the season started, we said we can't let games -- the Utahs, the
double-overtime against Washington -- we can't let those games slip away,"
Tayshaun Prince said.
小王子說"在球季開始前，我們表示球隊絕不會輕易放過一場比賽 -- 不管是對上爵士
那場，或是與華盛頓巫師打到二度延長才落敗那場 -- 我們不會輕易舉白旗投降。"
