Bulls Still Can't Fix What's Broken http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=19546 The Chicago Bulls have played four playoff games in the first full week of the NBA postseason, and they have yet to enter halftime with a lead. 牛牛打了四場季後賽了但是卻沒有一場可以在半場結束時獲得領先。 Despite the fact that Chicago will head into Game 5 at the United Center on Tuesday with a 3-1 series lead over the Indiana Pacers, they have yet to play what anyone would consider a truly "good" game. Derrick Rose is shooting 35% from the field (17% from 3PT), and the rest of his team isn't doing a lot better (40% FG for the series). The defense has been inconsistent, the team's hustle has been generally uninspiring, and let us not forget that this is the 1 seed playing the 8 seed. 儘管星期二公牛將帶著3-1的領先在主場打第五場比賽，他們還是沒有打出任何一場真正的好球。D.Rose只有35%的命中率跟17%的3分命中率，其他人也只有40%。防守則是無法持續，他們的肉搏戰無法激勵人心，別忘了，這是一輪第一對第八種子的比賽。 So why has this series been so hard for the Bulls? 到底是什麼讓這個系列賽這麼難打？ "They're playing good defense. You have to give them credit," Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau said after the Game 4 loss in Indianapolis. "They went after it. The more you go, the more you get. They fought harder. They got to loose balls. You can't just jump against these guys—you have to hit, you have to block out, and you have to fight. They're physical, and they try to ram you under the basket, so we've got to play a lot tougher." 老席：他們的防守表現得很好，你必須要在這點上稱讚他們。你愈是積極，得到的就愈多，而他們正追求著。對這些傢伙，你不能只用跳的，你必須要有所碰撞、卡位、奮戰！他們打得很硬，而且他們會在籃下猛撞你，所以我們必須要打得強硬點。 In a lot of ways, that sums up the entire series, but the expectations for the Bulls as a top seed are astronomical. However, the physical defense of the Pacers has kept Chicago under wraps. Rose has scored fewer and fewer points every game of the series, culminating in a pretty dismal performance on Saturday. 從很多面向上，這總結了這個系列賽的寫照，但是對於公牛做為第一種子的期望是很龐大的。溜馬強硬的防守讓公牛被徹底掩蓋了，Rose的得分隨著場次推進愈來愈少，最終在禮拜六以一個慘淡的結果達到谷底。(希望這就是谷底了~囧rz) "I didn't attach enough. I think if I would've kept on attacking they would have had to make the call, but I eased off," Rose admitted. After spraining his ankle in the first quarter, he never really seemed like himself, but he refused to use that to explain away the day's struggles. 玫瑰承認：我的攻擊性不夠，我想如果我持續地進攻他們就會犯上更多規，但我鬆懈了。在第一節扭到腳之後他就表現得不像他，但是他拒絕以此做為藉口。 "It's no excuse. It's the playoffs. I've sprained my ankle a million times, I just wasn't able to hit shots," he said. "At the end of the game when we got things going, it got pretty easy, so we've got to do what we did at the end of the game in the beginning." 「是我自己投不進，在比賽末段當我們讓比賽運轉起來時，一切就變得簡單了，所以我們必須要把我們在比賽末段做到的事提前到比賽初始時。」 That, of course, is easier said than done. Chicago is getting by against the postseason's only sub-.500 team with mediocre offense performances, but Luol Deng knows this won't fly should the team advance to later rounds of the postseason. 這很明顯是一件說比做容易的事。芝加哥現在是在面對五成以下勝率與進攻等級中庸的季後賽球隊，當進入到後面的賽事回合時，這樣的情況若持續將無法在比賽後段逃脫。 "We've got to do a better job of not falling behind like that," Deng said. "It's a positive to not give up no matter what, but we need not to put ourselves in that situation. We can't just play like that when we're down. We've got to play like that the whole game." 滷蛋：我們必須要想辦法不再這樣落後，不放棄是很好，但是我們並不需要將自己放在這樣的情況下，我們不能只在落後時這麼打，我們要整場比賽都這麼打。 It's generally accepted that the "knock-out" game is the hardest one to win because good NBA teams avoid elimination at all costs, but Joakim Noah explained that today's loss wasn't any more difficult than their three wins. 普遍認為最後一場KO的比賽是最難拿下的，因為好的NBA球隊都會不計代價避免被淘汰的命運，但Noah認為這場輸球並沒有比先前三場勝利的球賽來得難打。 "Every game is the toughest," he said. "This is not easy. This is the NBA playoffs. Everybody's competing hard, and everybody wants to win. You see what it comes down to—it's nothing. It's just on us. I feel like if we play the way we played in the fourth quarter for 48 minutes, we win that ball game." Noah：每場比賽都是最難打的，這並不簡單，這是NBA季後賽耶！每個人都全力競爭，而且每個人都想贏球。你也看到了這最終回歸到什麼(自己)，這沒什麼，只是取決於我們。我想如果我們可以用第四節的打法打滿48分鐘，我們就會贏。(廢話！！！！) Carlos Boozer, who's had a hard series on both ends of the floor and in the media, was the least concerned of anyone in the locker room. After the loss— and his missed three-pointer that would've tied the game—he stayed positive about the eventual outcome of the series, doing his best to keep everything in perspective. 在這系列賽的攻守兩端以及媒體上都很辛苦的Boozer則是休息室裡面最不擔心的。在輸球之後他仍然對於這個系列賽最後的結果保持樂觀，並盡他所能地放眼展望。 "At the end of the day, this is the NBA, and this is the playoffs. The team's that supposed to win, wins," he said. "But in saying that, we know we can play much better." 「在今天結束後，這就是NBA，而這是季後賽，該贏的球隊贏了。但是在這麼說的同時，我們也知道我們可以打得更好。」 And they're going to have to, not just on Tuesday when they try to close out the series, but for the rest of the postseason. They can't beat good teams the way they're playing. We can either be grateful to know that they haven't played their best ball yet, or we can be despondent because they haven't played their best ball yet. 而事實上他們也必須打得更好，不只是在禮拜二結束掉這個系列賽時，而是整個季後賽都必須打得更好。以這樣的打法並不能打敗強隊，我們可以因為知道他們還沒打出最好的表現而感到寬慰，但同時我們也可以因此而感到沮喪。 Either way, the expectations for this team remain high, even if their level of play doesn't. Something's got to change, and the team knows it. We'll just have to wait and see if they'll be able to do something about it. 無論如何，對於這支球隊的期望仍然很高，即使他們表現的並不符合。他們也知道有些事情必須改變，我們只需要等待並觀察他們是否能做出改變。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 123.194.101.30 ※ 編輯: bluesky3330 來自: 123.194.101.30 (04/25 01:30)
