翻譯 ※ 引述《and1018 (嘴賤)》之銘言： : Utah 108, Portland 92: Another day, another rout for out-of-sync Blazers : By Jason Quick, The Oregonian : November 28, 2009, 10:51PM 拓荒者磨合不佳，又一場潰敗。 : Portland Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy gains control of a loose ball as : Utah Jazz guard Deron Williams defends during the second quarter of their NBA : basketball game Saturday in Salt Lake City. 這是圖片敘述吧... : SALT LAKE CITY -- Not yet a quarter into the season, and the Trail Blazers : have reached an undeniable crossroads. : After the Blazers were dominated 108-92 by Utah on Saturday -- the second : consecutive night the team was blown away -- many festering irritations of : the season's direction surfaced while a new storyline to this drama emerged : after coach Nate McMillan played Andre Miller only six minutes and 18 : seconds. 拓荒者在球季還未進行到四分之一就面臨了無法避開的十字路口。禮拜六爵士以壓倒性的 108比92贏得對拓荒者的比賽，而這是連續第二場拓荒者被對手打爆。而在許多針對這個球季球隊方針的負面情緒漸漸浮上來的同時,球隊最新的新聞是,在這場比賽中教練 N.McMillian只讓A.Miller打了六分鐘又18秒。 : Pick an area, any area, and right now it is a mess. : The offense has turned into a jumbled knot of confusion. The team's top two : players -- Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge -- are uncomfortable and unsure : of how to make the emergence of center Greg Oden mesh with their : pick-and-roll magic from a year ago, often leading to hesitant shots and : stalled possessions. 從任何一個面向來看，現在這隻球隊的狀況都是一團混亂。進攻端表現出的疑惑就像一團打結的繩結。B.Roy和L.Aldridge這兩位隊上最頂尖的球員在嘗試使這季冒出頭的G.Oden融入他們上季熟悉而且成功的pick-and-roll的時候顯得不自在也不果斷，而這也導致了猶豫的出手以及沒有流動的進攻。 : The defense in the last two games has turned slow and soft, allowing : astronomical shooting percentages -- the latest a 60.6 effort by Utah, which : started when the Jazz (9-7) hit their first eight shots and nine of their : first 10. 在這兩場潰敗中，防守顯得軟弱又緩慢，這從Utah開場就連進八球，前十次出手命中九次，終場達到極高的60.6%命中率就可以看得出來。 : Meanwhile, nobody outside of Oden is performing at a higher level than last : season, and key players like Aldridge, Steve Blake and Miller have been well : off their standard of play. 在此同時，除了G.Oden以外，沒有任何一個人打的比去年好，而核心的球員如Aldridge, S.Blake 和Miller表現的也不如他們應達到的水準（這裡這個記者文法有錯...不過意思應該是這樣） : On Saturday, one night after the Blazers trailed by 29 at home to Memphis, : the Blazers fell behind 11-2 only 2:39 into a game they would eventually : trail by 27. 在前一晚以29分輸給灰熊之後，星期六當天才剛開場2:39拓荒者就以11-2落後，而最後輸了27分。 : It created for interesting viewing in the fourth quarter, as the team's core : was yanked and engaged in a series of animated conversations on the bench. 當天的輸球造成了一幅有趣的景象；球隊的核心成員第四節時在板凳區聚集在一塊展開了一些很有畫面感的對話。 : Roy reached past Blake's shoulder and tapped Miller, asking him why he didn't : play after the first quarter. Miller and Joel Przybilla talked, at one time : shaking their heads. Roy passed a folded statistics sheet to Aldridge, who : studied the sheet, refolded it and then put both hands over his face after : discarding the sheet under the bench. Later, Roy and Aldridge talked, with : Roy revealing that their conversation revolved around how different things : had become this season. 像是Roy伸手越過Blake的肩膀拍了拍Miller問他說他為什麼在第一節之後就沒有上場； Miller和大P交談時兩人都搖了搖頭；Roy把一份資料傳給Aldridge，Aldridge在看完資料之後把資料放在板凳下然後雙手掩面，稍後他和Roy聊了一下。Roy後來說他們在聊這季走到目前為止是怎麼變成這樣的。 : Afterward, in the locker room, there was an array of outlooks, with some like : Roy waving red flags about the team's play while others like Oden and : Aldridge only willing to say that the season still offers time for kinks to : be worked out. 之後在休息室裡充斥著許多對於未來發展的看法，例如Roy認為現在的情況已經到了拉警報的程度，而Oden和Aldridge則只願意說我們還有很長的一季可以排除障礙。 : And, of course, there was Miller's benching, which caught everyone by : surprise, none more so than Miller. It appears Miller has the team's full : support, as he engaged in lengthy conversations with Przybilla and Blake on : the bench, and then drew the concern of Roy. Then, after Miller gave a : noncontroversial interview, during which he answered every question : professionally, Oden tapped him on the knee and offered a fist, which Miller : bumped. 而當然Miller被冰放在板凳上這件事情也讓大家非常驚訝，不過沒有人比Miller自己更驚訝。可以發現的是Miller有全隊的支持；他和大P和Blake在板凳上聊了許久，之後引起了 Roy的注意，而當他以非常平和專業的方式回答了媒體的所有問題之後，Oden拍了拍Miller 的膝蓋然後和他擊掌。 : What were once smoldering hot spots on this team have suddenly taken spark, : presenting McMillan with his biggest challenge in this new era of successful : Blazers basketball. And for the first time, it doesn't appear McMillan has : the unquestioned support from key players. 這原本在表面底下燜燒的情況現在似乎起了點火花，而這同時也是N.McMillan在這成功的新拓荒者世代所面臨到最大的挑戰。而這也是第一次，McMillan似乎沒有得到核心球員們的無條件支持。 --------------------- 先翻一些眼睛好酸。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.231.103.253
