新聞出處(必填):boston.com 作者:Gary Washburn, can be reached at gwashburn@globe.com It's mid-January and the Celtics are still in the midst of establishing their personality for this season. When Kendrick Perkins went down with a torn anterior cruciate ligament last June, it robbed them of the chemistry they spent three years establishing. 時序已進入一月中旬，超賽仍在建立本季屬於他們自己的球賽風格。去年六月Kendrick Perkins前十字韌帶的撕裂傷，迫使他們放棄花了三年苦心培養的那種團隊效應，重新來過。 And Sunday was the first time in seven months the original starting five practiced together as Perkins nears his return. Last night, Kevin Garnett returned from a nine-game absence with a strained right calf to anchor the defense and make a key steal in the 109-106 victory over the Magic. KP已離他重返球場的日子不遠。而本周日是睽違七個月後，超賽的正宗先發五人，第一次在練習場上重聚。昨晚，因為小腿拉傷而缺席了九場比賽的KG，也回到戰場上維繫起整個團隊的防守，在這場以109：106幹掉魔術的比賽當中，他貢獻了一次關鍵性的抄截。 While other clubs reconstruct themselves with trades, the Celtics are doing it with good health. To a man, every Celtic acknowledged Sunday's practice was motivational because Perkins and Garnett were back, and the team was whole. 當其他球團正大肆進行交易以重新建立起球隊的同時，身體健康的超賽老傢伙們也正在用不同的方法做同樣的事。每一個超賽的真男人都承認星期天的練習令人感到振奮，因為KP與KG的歸位，也因為整個超賽終於復歸那個完整的A-TEAM。 Glen Davis came off the bench last night and took shots in rhythm, after uncharacteristically turning into World B. Free in Garnett's absence. And Shaquille O'Neal didn't have to defend Dwight Howard one-on-one for the entire night. Garnett offered help, especially in the fourth quarter. 大寶昨晚從板凳出發，在場上找到了他的投籃節奏（FG 6-10），他在頂替KG位置的這段時間表現的不比尋常，打得就像World B. Free*。大歐則不必整晚一個人扛住魔獸（25.5 min），KG的歸位幫了大忙，特別在第四節。（註）World B. Free：本名Lloyd Bernard Free，前NBA後衛，1975年選秀第23順位， 1988年退役，打過（聖地牙哥）快艇、76人、勇士、騎士、火箭，查了一下維基百科跟網路資料，好像以高難度的跳投聞名，但我不能確切說明作者以World B. Free形容大寶的本意。 The Celtics are approaching their natural order and that gives coach Doc Rivers a feeling of comfort. He tends to harp on injuries too much, as every NBA coach does, but without Perkins as an option and injuries to Rajon Rondo and Garnett, the starting five has undergone more cast changes than "General Hospital.'' 超賽正在返回原本那個完成體的路上，Doc對此感到非常欣喜。每個NBA教練都會對球員受傷感到頭痛，Doc也一直對扭啊拉啊折啊摔啊搞不完的傷兵問題嘮叨個沒完，但當他手上少了KP這個凶器，又折損了軟豆與KG的時候，超賽的先發班底所經歷的轉變，可比起超長壽肥皂劇General Hospital*還嚴重的多。（註）General Hospital大概就像美國版的親戚不計較吧，該劇從1963年開播至今已近 50年，據說是很有名的拖棚歹戲... Davis and Nate Robinson were pressed into the starting duty and that reverberated throughout the lineup. Semih Erden was grabbing quality minutes because Davis was no longer coming off the bench. Avery Bradley and even Paul Pierce had to assume point guard duties with Rondo out because Robinson was in a starter's role. 情勢所迫，大寶與跳豆在這段損兵折將的非常時期，得扛起先發重任，而這個安排在在影響到整個球隊的輪替。大寶得上前線，所以86得取代他的板凳位置；另一方面，因為軟豆不在家，跳豆當先發，這使得A. Bradley，甚至是老皮，偶爾都得兼差打個控衛。 Things are still out of synch with Delonte West about a month from returning from a broken right wrist, and Jermaine O'Neal might make a decision today on whether to undergo season-ending surgery, but the Celtics will accept never being completely healthy, as long as the core is sound. 在West這一個月的腕傷休養結束以前，超賽的陣容仍難以齊整，小歐也或許會對他本季是否要進廠維修做個決定。但超賽會接受他們總沒能保持全員一百趴健康的這個事實，只要他們的團隊基礎仍舊強盛健壯。 "I saw a glimpse of [the team I want to see Sunday] in practice,'' Rivers said. "It's going to help our starters. It's really going to help our best. To me, that's where it's going to help the most. The starters are the starters, they are going to be good regardless. When you can have [Davis] and Shaq with Nate and Delonte? That's good for us. But I'm concerned because they have to learn to play together and they haven't all year but they have enough time if they can come back quick enough.'' 「在（禮拜天）練球的時候，有某個瞬間我看到了（那個我想看到的球隊）」，Doc說：「這有助於我們的先發陣容，會讓我們調整到最好。對我來說，那是莫大的助力。讓該先發的打先發……無論如何，他們會變得更強。想想看，你什麼時候手上可以同時擁有大寶、大歐、跳豆跟West？這實在好得沒話說。儘管我仍然有點擔心，他們沒有一整年可以學習磨合，但只要他們回來得夠快，就有夠充裕的時間。」 The team was as close to whole as it has been all season last night. And the proof was the performance of Pierce. The Celtics managed to score 109 points with Pierce attempting just seven shots, one fewer than Robinson, who launched an alarming eight in 11 minutes. 這支球隊在昨晚對魔術的比賽已接近整季當中最完整的狀態，老皮的表現可為明證。在超賽幹下來的109分當中，老皮僅僅出手7次（39 mins），甚至比11分鐘內丟了8球出去的跳豆還少一次。 Pierce realized Garnett and Davis were generating offense in the paint and Ray Allen was nearly a cinch from the 3-point area. So Pierce waited his turn, finally converting a 3-point play when he pump-faked Orlando's Jason Richardson at the right elbow, then drained an 18-footer for a 107-104 lead with 38.7 seconds left. 老皮知道，KG與大寶將在油漆區裡面醞釀球隊的攻勢，而雷槍在三分線上的出手則近乎十拿九穩（尤其這幾場的命中率……）。所以啦，老皮這次選擇慢慢等，最後等到了那個把J. Richardson騙起來的超前三分打。倒楣的綠茶嬸被老皮的右手肘摸了一下以後裁判就逼逼了，同時老皮也從18呎遠的地方把球扔到籃框裡面再外帶一顆ft，107-104，這個超賽的老球皮僅僅留下38.7秒給魔術看著辦。 Garnett, Davis, and Allen combined for 34 shots, so Pierce shifted his focus to defending Hedo Turkoglu, who finished 4 for 11 from the field and looked uncomfortable offensively most of the night. KG、大寶、雷槍聯合貢獻了34次出手，所以老皮把他的注意力擺在對土耳其火槍兵Hedo Turkoglu的防守上。火槍兵11投4中，看來他整個晚上都被老皮搞得很不舒服。（>///<） "Some nights it goes like that,'' Pierce said. "We got other guys really stepping up. Putting Kevin back out there really got it going. Ray with the way he's shooting the ball. It's a pleasure to be able to sit back and take a load off and not have to worry about scoring night in and night out, taking 20 shots when I got these guys. I just take advantage of the opportunities that's given to me. I don't complain about shots like I used to back in the day when I was younger, even though I got all the shots.'' 「有時候就是這樣，」老皮說，「我們讓一些傢伙的狀況變得更火燙，把KG放回去真的讓其他人越打越好，像雷槍就變得更能自在開火了。我很開心能夠回到位子上，卸下一些擔子，當這些夥伴在的時候，我也就不用去擔心整個晚上球隊的得分，擔心要出手個 20次之類的，我只要等著利用情勢給我的機會。當然啦，我也不會抱怨出手這件事，即使要我負擔全隊的得分也一樣，我年輕的時候也是得這麼幹上來的。」 Pierce laughed because he was right. Being part of a team with many options has extended his career. As the Big Three has progressed and been joined by the emerging Rondo and Perkins, the Celtics have established their roles and depended more on each other. 老皮笑了，因為他是對的。作為A-TEAM的一部份，他擁有很大的空間可以延展他的球員生命。當三巨頭持續往前方邁進，並且獲得展現了實力的軟豆與KP加入，超賽最終確立了每個人的角色位置，整個團隊也變得更依存於彼此。 When the group is missing members, the sound isn't the same. The performances are out of whack and the Celtics are relying on more talent than teamwork. Last night's win was about that teamwork and chemistry that had been absent for a few weeks, and it will only improve as more good health approaches. 當這支球隊失去某些成員的時候，感覺是不一樣的。球員的表現會受影響，整個球隊必須更仰賴天分與球員分工。昨晚的勝利是團隊合作與化學效應的結果，而這種效果在球員受傷的情況底下已在超賽消失了幾個禮拜。眼前要讓超賽變得更好，只有一條路，就是叫整支球隊的老傢伙們跟小傢伙們，通通保持身體健康。 -- It'a all about 18. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.122.84.31
