Philadelphia 76ers Pass First Big Test, Hold 3.5 Game Lead In
Atlantic
跨越艱辛的一週，七六人維持與賽爾提克的差距。

Decisive wins over the Orlando Magic, Chicago Bulls and
Atlanta Hawks have added weight to the Sixers 17-7 record,
while a demoralizing loss to the Miami Heat sandwiched in the
middle showed they still have work to do.
連續贏得如對上魔術、公牛、老鷹等季後賽強隊的艱辛勝利之後，
七六人將他們的戰績提升到17勝7敗。
但是對上熱火的慘痛結果，顯示他們還有著很多功課要作。
Feb 6, 2012 - The Philadelphia 76ers spent the first
month-plus of the season beating up on bad and short-handed
teams. They did so in impressive fashion, but their strength
of schedule left many questioning the import of their 14-6
record just a week ago. Decisive wins over the Orlando Magic
(15-9), Chicago Bulls (20-6) and Atlanta Hawks (16-8) have
added weight to their 17-7 record, while a demoralizing loss
to the Miami Heat sandwiched in the middle showed they still
have work to do.
七六人在球季的地一個月都在應付一些比較弱小的對手，
即使他們各方面的成果都非常驚人，但是因為賽程的關係，
有關七六人的評價中總少不了質疑的聲音。
當他們已經贏了魔術、公牛、老鷹之後，雖然將戰績提昇，
但是在贏球的哲學之路上，他們仍然有著很漫長的道路要走。
Later this week, the Sixers should get word they'll send their
first representative to the All Star game in six years. If you
check the power rankings all over the Internet, the Sixers are
in listed in the top five. National media outlets are writing
about the Sixers almost on a daily basis. ESPN has added two
more Sixers game to their schedule, they'll be televised
nationally six times in the month of March alone. If national
recognition was the goal, the Sixers have reached it.
但是經過這個星期，
七六人是應該得到一些他們所應得的肯定，例如明星賽的席次。
如果你曾經在網路上花些時間找過，
七六人一直都在 Power Rankings 的前五(或至少不會差太多)。
全國媒體也逐漸開始對他們關注，無論是每天的討論，
或者像是 ESPN 已經增加了兩場次的全國轉撥到了他們的節目表上，
他們在三月將會有六次機會在全美五十州的轉撥中亮相。
如果你對七六人這季的目標就只是獲得更多的注目與肯定，
那顯然他們已經達成了。
Of course, recognition was never the team's goal. Or at least
it shouldn't have been. The goal is to win games. Win the
division, get home court for a round or two in the playoffs
and win at least one round once they get there. More than a
third of the season has gone by, the Sixers are
three-and-a-half games ahead of the Celtics in the Atlantic
Division, they've got another extremely tough week ahead of
them. It's time to take stock of what they need to do to hold
onto the division and grab a top-four seed in the East.
當然，這種卑微的小願望絕對不會是七六人的目標，
至少他們不應該僅僅以此為榮。
當你出來混，當然目標一定是放在：贏球、贏球、贏球。
贏得分區、拿到一輪或兩輪的主場優勢，並且贏得至少一個系列賽，
才是眼前的目標。
不過目前球季已經過了三分之一，他們已經在大西洋組取得3.5場的勝差，
領先第二名的老賽。
但在這當頭，他們要面對另外一個挑戰，
他們本週的賽程依然非常艱辛，而且現在面臨真正的分組冠軍的保衛壓力，
在這樣的壓力下，他們必須拿出表現維持分區第一並且繼續維持在東區前四。
With the number one defense in the league (both in PPG
allowed, and the much more important defensive efficiency
rating), it's obvious how they got where they are. The simple
answer is to keep defending like they have been, though that's
certainly a tall order with their upcoming schedule. Over
their four games last week, all against solid, or better,
playoff teams, they held their opponents to a combined 97.57
points-per-100-possessions, which is a bit off their
league-leading 95.0, but still better than the second-best
team in the league (Portland). The defense held up, and that's
including the big loss to Miami.
在各項防守榜上維持高績效，是當前費城如此閃耀的關鍵。
(按:包括百回合失分、場均失分都是聯盟第一，在被老賽超越之前，對手eFG%也是)
而維持這樣的防守績效與強度的秘訣不過就是做好他們原本就會的事情，
儘管他們面對的對手已經不是一月那些小鱉三。
在上禮拜的四場比賽當中，他們面對更好、更強大、更成熟的季後賽球隊，
對手的百回合失分不過 97.57 而已，而這個數字，
不過比他們領先全聯盟的95.0高一點點，更何況這數字還是勝過聯盟第二的拓荒者。
(更別提這數字已經加入了被熱火blow-out的數字)
On the offensive end, the Sixers are using an unconventional
formula to remain in the top ten in efficiency. It's obvious
they spread the ball around, they've had eight different
leading scorers this season and they have eight players
averaging nine or more points per game. Without an offensive
superstar, in the traditional sense, they rely on ball and
player movement to get decent looks at the hoop which they
convert at above league average percentages. Three big
problems on the offensive end, though. They don't get
offensive rebounds (worst in the league), they hardly ever get
to the line (second-fewest free throw attempts per game) and
they shoot a terrible percentage when they do get to the line
(72.2%, fifth-worst in the league).
另外在進攻端，七六人用著非典型的作法來維持他們穩定前十的進攻績效。
作法很明顯的是讓球權分享給更多的球員，費城的輪替中有八個人平均超過九分。
比較標準的球隊當中總會有個Superstar，但是七六人在缺乏巨星的同時，
他們靠著在場上不斷地讓五個球員與球不停的流動，這樣讓他們的績效超越聯盟平均。
但是在進攻上，顯然有三個非常重要的缺陷：
1) 進攻籃板效率低落 (最差的, 進攻籃板率僅僅.223, 遠低於聯盟平均的.264)
2) 要到犯規的次數少得驚人(罰球次數第二少/罰球率 FT per FGA最差的)
3) 上不了罰球線就算了，罰球命中率也可怕的嚇人 (72.2% 倒數第五名)
How do they overcome these offensive problems? Simple, they
don't turn the ball over, at all. They lead the league by a
country mile in turnover percentage (10.7%). It's not
difficult to do the math. A turnover equals zero points,
without exception. Even a bad shot has say a 25% chance of
leading to points. Over the past four games, against top-notch
competition, they were even better at taking care of the ball,
turning it over on only 7.5% of possessions.
但是有著這些缺陷，卻無損於他們的進攻效率，
七六人如何克服這樣的困難？
很簡單，他們在進攻的時候鮮少犯錯。
他們目前在全聯盟的失誤率排行榜裡面取得巨大幅度的領先(10.7%)。
不犯錯重要不重要？廢話當然重要，這是非常簡單的數學：
只要你失誤，你這回合(possession)進攻的得分就是零，
就算是你做了愚蠢的進攻選擇，相信你四球還是會賽到一球。
尤其本週(repeat: ORL, CHI, MIA, ATL)對上如此強大的對手，
七六人甚至在失誤率上面(也就是在進攻上讓自己不犯錯的方面)做得更好：
本週七六人的失誤率 7.5% (譯按:靠腰)
It might not be realistic to expect the Sixers to maintain
these lofty levels of efficiency on both ends of the floor,
then again, they also haven't been at full strength for the
past three weeks. Spencer Hawes finally returned to the lineup
against the Hawks on Saturday only to see Elton Brand miss the
game with a thumb injury. Honestly, though, they've been so
good on the defensive side of the ball even a moderate drop
off wouldn't doom their chances at winning the Atlantic or
finishing with a top-four seed.
當然你還是可以堅持七六人在攻守兩端的表現有依靠賽程的成份，
並且有合理的理由懷疑他們不能持續，但是這裡要強調的是，
七六人一直沒辦法用他們完全健康的陣容面對這些球隊，
過去三個禮拜，在進攻效率上有著關鍵作用的Spencer Hawes傷停無法出賽，
而且Elton Brand也在上禮拜對上熱火的時候傷到他們手指。
(譯按:還有 Vucevic 被 Joel Anthony 耍髒推到Camera害他傷停一個半禮拜)
客觀的來看，他們在防守端取得了具大的成功，配合中等以上的進攻效率，
他們絕對有著具大的機會拿到大西洋組的冠軍，
甚至本球季就能拿到東區前四種子。
Let's take a look at the Atlantic. Currently, the Celtics are
making a strong push back from their dreadful start. They
crushed the Grizzlies yesterday to move to 13-10 on the
season, they've won 8 of 10. People are saying they're
definitely back, and at this point, you'd have to say they're
the one team in the division the Sixers need to worry about.
If you look a bit closer, though, Boston has really played the
easiest portion of their schedule to this point. Like the
Sixers, they've played 15 home games already, but they've
actually only played 8 on the road (Philly has played 9).
讓我們把焦點轉回大西洋組。
在糟糕的開季之後，老賽最近有著巨大的反彈。
他們昨天慘電灰熊之後讓他們的戰績回升到 13-10，
並且在近十場中，他們拿下了八勝。
大家都認為他們終於步入正軌了，而且在這個時候，
必須體認到的是他們的確是七六人在奪下大西洋龍頭上不可忽視的對手。
但是攤開他們的賽程，你會發現他們已經進行過的賽程，
跟費城簡直就是半斤八兩。
他們跟費城一樣，在主場已經進行了15場的比賽，
但是他們到現在只有在客場初賽過八場，甚至還比七六人少一場。
Their strength of schedule (winning percentage of the teams
they've played) is a bit better than the Sixers (.450 for PHI,
.461 for BOS), but if you look closer at the schedule, Boston
has a rough road ahead of them. In this lockout-shortened
season, every team has to contend with short rest and tough
travel. The Celtics haven't been hit by that bug yet. They've
only played four back-to-backs so far (the Sixers have played
six, and a back-to-back-to-back). The Celtics are an old team,
a team that has already been hit by injuries to key members of
their rotation, and they've got 18 home games left on their
schedule to 25 on the road, 11 back-to-backs, 1
back-to-back-to-back and a stretch of seven games in nine
days, with five of those games on the road, in April.
他們在basketball-rererence.com的賽程強度指數(.461)，
看起來是比七六人來得好一點(.450)，
但是賽程強度指數並沒有加入緊密度考慮，僅僅考慮對手的強度。
在這個縮水球季當中，幾乎所有球隊都必須面對到更短的休息天數，
以及更勞累的旅途。
但是C's看來根本就還沒機會被賽程緊密度給挑戰。
他們到現在只打了四次B2B，而七六人已經打了六次，再加上一次B2B2B。
而且C's是個比較老邁的球隊，他們在陣容上面已經受到傷勢的影響，
不只一位關鍵球員曾經受到傷勢影響，而他們只剩下18場主場，
卻有25場的客場，另外包涵了11次B2B， 一次B2B2B，
而且在球季末段的四月，他們有一次九天七戰的魔鬼賽程，
當中有五場比賽是在客場而非溫暖的TD Garden。
眉批：老賽保重....
This division is right there for the Sixers to take. They
probably won't even need to maintain their torrid pace to take
home the Atlantic, but they may have to finish with about 44
wins in order to secure home court advantage in the first
round of the playoffs, which has to be the goal.
對七六人而言，這是爭取大西洋龍頭的絕佳機會。
但是七六人的目標不應該只是放在拿到大西洋第一這件事上面，
如果他們希望起碼在季後賽第一輪拿到主場優勢，
以目前的態勢來說，保守估計至少要拿到44勝才有辦法安全過關。
The thing the team has been great at this year is complete
tunnel vision. They've been able to forget the previous game
and avoid looking forward to the rest of their week, let alone
the rest of the season. Standing in front of them tonight will
be Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers have
been a terrible road team this season (3-8 away from Staples),
but they are a matchup nightmare for the Sixers. Andrew Bynum
and Pau Gasol are two of the best big men in the league, and
the Sixers lack for any real legitimate big defender. If Los
Angeles is determined to play through Bynum and Gasol, the
Sixers won't have much of a chance. The equalizer in this
matchup is the Lakers complete lack of three-point threats. As
a team, they shoot below 30% from deep, with Troy Murphy as
the only regular in their rotation who shoots better than
league average. The Sixers can, and should, double Bynum and
Gasol whenever they get the ball on the blocks. Get the ball
out of their hands and make the Lakers beat them from beyond
the arc.
這隻球隊今年真的打得很好，但是就像是走在隧道裡面，
他們必須毫不猶豫的向前看，而不能回頭在意自己以成就的或失敗的過去，
而是繼續為了下個禮拜以及剩下的球季不斷地奮鬥。
下一場比賽就要面對 Kobe 的洛杉磯湖人。
他們今年在客場簡直就是一塌糊塗(3-8)，
但是他們的對位球員對於七六人來說基本上會造常巨大的麻煩。
他們有著幾乎是聯盟最好的兩個長人：Pau Gasol / Andruw Bynum，
七六人並沒有適合的大個子可以給他們在進攻端造成麻煩。
如果湖人決定以大個子為主來打這場比賽，那七六人顯然沒有什麼機會。
不過上帝關上一道門必定為您開扇窗。
湖人的三分線基本上跟紙糊的一樣，最好的三分射手竟然是Troy Murphy
(而且是唯一他們三分線高於聯盟平均的球員)
當一個球隊三分悲慘到連 30% 都不到的時候，
七六人的球員可以、甚至應該在他們持球要到位置時對他們展開必要的包夾。
這樣可以迫使這兩位大個子把他們的球讓出去，
使湖人被迫在離籃框更遠的地方展開進攻。
After the Lakers, the Spurs and Clippers will head into the
Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday and Friday before the Sixers
head on the road again to face Kyrie Irving and the suddenly
relevant Cavs on Saturday. Another tough week, but let's not
get ahead of ourselves. Tonight, it's the Lakers and Kobe.
That's all that matters.
緊接在湖人之後，馬刺與快艇將會分別於週三、週五造訪費城，
再下一場比賽則是七六人前往克里夫蘭迎戰 Kyrie Irving 領軍的騎士隊。
這的確是另外一個艱困的星期，但是並沒有超出七六人的能力範圍。
今天晚上，就是Kobe跟他的湖人隊，眼前的挑戰勝過一切。
