Miller Too Much for Sixers
米勒壓垮七六人


My biggest regret when I look back on this game is that we'll never get a
chance to see a playoff series between the Nuggets and the Sixers. That was
one of the most entertaining regular season games I can remember. My second
biggest regret is the Sixers had this game, right there, and they let it slip
right through their fingers.

回顧這場比賽，最大的遺憾就是，我們不會看到金塊和七六人在季後賽對壘，這是我
記憶中最精彩的例行賽之一。我第二大的遺憾是，七六人可以贏，也差一點就贏了，
卻讓勝利從指縫間飛了。



It's taken some time for me to cool down after this one, and with some
perspective, there's nothing to drive yourself crazy over. The Sixers played
an extremely poor second quarter, and it was pretty much a team effort. They
played a back-and-forth third. The first and the final 10 minutes of the
fourth were a real pleasure to watch. I'm sure an objective observer or a
Nuggets fan will just look at this game from the exact opposite angle. These
were two very evenly matched teams who play a similar style, with aligning
strengths. One team was on short rest, the other was missing an integral part
of their rotation (Mozgov is not an integral part of Denver's rotation). The
game came down to execution down the stretch for the Sixers (Iguodala's
missed free throw, Jrue's turnover, Lou's missed corner three) and one guy
playing absolutely out of his mind for the Nuggets.

看完比賽，我花了好一段時間才冷靜下來，但仔細想想，其實你不用那麼難過。七六
人在第二節完全是荒腔走板，全隊都渙散掉了。第三節的表現起起伏伏，第四節的頭
十分鐘，則是非常令人賞心悅目。我相信對客觀第三人或金塊球迷來說，可能剛好相
反。兩支球隊的陣容旗鼓相當，球風也類似，優點非常接近。一支休息不夠，另一支
少了一員大將（Timofey Mozgov應該不是丹佛的大將）。最後的勝負關鍵，取決於七
六人球賽尾聲的執行力（Iggy罰球不中、Jrue失誤掉球、L-Will角落三分失手），還
有金塊某球員超乎想像的表現。



Collins is going to take a lot of heat for this loss, and he deserves some,
but when you get right down to it, execute on one of those three plays, and
this is probably a win. The refs were bad, and three key calls (or non-calls)
really hurt the Sixers, but it doesn't matter. Execute on one of those three
plays and you win the game. Pointing fingers or looking for excuses is
pointless. Execute and you win. That's the moral of the story here.

很多人會把敗因歸咎於教頭 Collins，他也該負一點責任，但說真的，那三個play只
要有一次執行成功，大概勝利就到手了。裁判爛透了，三次關鍵判決（包括該吹未吹
的）重創了七六人，但這不是重點。那三球只要一球成功，早就贏了。找戰犯或藉口
都沒有意義。這場球告訴我們，貫徹到底就會贏球。



Here's one thing I don't understand, though. For basically 26 minutes of
action, the Nuggets absolutely torched the Sixers with the Lawson/Miller back
court. It was plain as day that whichever one Jrue wasn't guarding was
getting the ball and he was going to attack either Meeks or Williams. This
lineup was obviously going to be a problem for the Sixers, they should've
known that coming in and it shouldn't have taken Collins until the fourth
quarter to realize he needed to have Turner and Holiday at the one/two to
take away the mismatch.

但有件事我不懂。金塊派出的 Lawson/Miller 後場組合，讓七六人頭痛了整整26分
鐘。誰都看得出來，只要 Jrue 沒守的那個人就會拿球進攻 Meeks 或 Williams。這
對後衛顯然會替七六人製造很多麻煩，球賽一開始他們早該知道了，Collins 卻一直
到第四節才發現，換上 Holiday/Turner 來負責1/2號位置，才能解決錯位的問題。



One final thing I don't get. With the Sixers up by 1 (93-92) and 1:07 left in
the game, Collins took a full timeout. This was the most important possession
of the game, in my mind. You draw up a play there, get a hoop, and it's a
scramble for the Nuggets to recover. Instead, you got an Iguodala isolation
resulting in an 18-foot fade that he missed. No one else touched the ball.
They didn't run any kind of play. I just don't get it. This team doesn't have
a superstar, their strength is that on any given night, a different player
can carry them. Tonight, that player was Evan Turner. If anyone deserved the
ball on an isolation for that play, it was Turner. Of course, I'm not sure
why you had to go to an iso there at all. If that's what Collins drew up, it
was a terrible job. If it was Iguodala just seeing a mismatch and that was
the best he could do to "attack" it, then it's on him. We'll probably never
know. 

還有最後一件事我也不懂：比賽時間剩下1:07，七六人領先1分（93-92）時，Collins
喊了暫停。我認為這是全場最重要的一波攻勢。畫好戰術，拿到分數，那金塊隊就會陷
入被動搶分的局面。但結果呢？卻是 Iguodala 單打，一次18呎的後仰跳投，沒進。別
人都沒碰過球，他們也沒跑任何戰術。我真的不懂。這支球隊沒有明星，他們的長處就
是每場比賽，都會有不同球員挺身而出。今晚，這個人是 Evan Turner。如果誰有資格
拿球單打，應該是 Turner。當然我是不明白，為何一定要單打咧？如果這就是 Collins
的戰術，那簡直是零分。如果是 Iguodala 認為他有錯位優勢，單打是最好的利用方式
，那就是 Iguodala 的問題。真相可能永遠不會大白。



On the following possession, Jrue actually did attack his man, got all
the way to the rim and made a huge layup. Iguodala apparently learned his
lesson and got into the paint on the fateful final possession of regulation.
He drew the foul and then, well, you know the rest. 3 points on 3 possessions
is pretty much what they did for the entire game, so it's not like their
offense was much better or worse than expected, but I don't get the logic of
giving two of the halfcourt possessions to Iguodala when he was terrible in
the half court pretty much the entire night.

下一波，Jrue 也持球進攻，成功殺到籃下，拿到巨大的兩分。Iguodala 顯然學到教訓
，在命運般的最後一波攻勢中，衝進禁區，拿到犯規，至於後果嘛，各位也知道了。這
三波進攻一共換來3分，基本上跟整場平均差不多，所以進攻效率來說，其實符合期待
。我只是不懂那兩波半場攻勢，為什麼一定要給 Iguodala 來處理，因為他整場比賽在
半場進攻中都不太成功。



At some point, this team will win one of these games. At some point, they
won't make the key mistakes that cost them close games against good teams.
Apparently, we haven't reached that point yet. The good news is they get to
try again on Friday night, but I'm not going to lie to you, this one stings.
If you need a silver lining, it could've been worse. The Sixers could've lost
to the Suns, at home, with the Suns playing their second in two nights while
you were well-rested, like the Knicks did tonight.

有一天，這支球隊會在類似的比賽中笑到最後。有一天，他們在面對強隊的時候，不會
再犯下相同的致命錯誤。顯然，這一天還沒來。好消息是，星期五就是下一次機會，但
我老實說，這場敗仗很不好受。如果你需要一點安慰，你要知道，這可不是最壞的結果
。七六人有可能在主場輸給太陽，而且還是在充分休息下，面對二連戰打到第二場的太
陽，例如今晚的尼克隊。（中槍:P）
