Grizzlies cap preseason with win
Most early goals met as team fine tunes play before opener

CHICAGO - Considering the Grizzlies have never won more than eight road
games in a season, consecutive victories away from home is reason to
believe the dismal trend may end. Even if it is just the preseason.
之前灰熊單一球季從未在客場贏超過八場球,而最近連續的客場勝利似乎說明著這
種情形即將改觀。雖然說現在只不過是季前賽啦。
By concluding the exhibition schedule with a 93-89 win against the
Chicago Bulls Thursday night in United Center, the Grizzlies satisfied
three training camp objectives.
在星期四晚上在公牛隊主場以93-89獲勝的灰熊來說,他們的季前賽無異是畫下
了一個完美的句點。灰熊隊達成了他們在季前訓練營所設定的以下三個目標:
They improved defensive rebounding and total team defense.
他們改善了防守籃板以及整體防守態度。
Established a 10-man rotation with two effective units.
建立了以十個人為主的輪替陣容,五上五下不成問題。
Played more competitive basketball away from The Pyramid.
The final score against the Bulls wasn't indicative of how the game
transpired.
在客場作戰的時候更有競爭力!與公牛隊比賽的最終比數並不足以說明比賽過程。
Garbage time dominated the fourth quarter, which the Griz began with a
73-59 lead. They led by as many as 18 points and were ahead 84-70 with
4:46 left in the game.
在灰熊以73-59大幅領先以後,第四節只不過是個垃圾時間。他們最多領先到
18分,並在終場前四分四十六秒還領先了14分。
Chicago, though, cut the lead to 88-86 behind Roger Mason's three-pointer
with 30 seconds left.
然而芝加哥公牛隊卻在剩下30秒的時候由Roger Mason投進了三分球,88-86
只差兩分,比賽似乎又緊張了起來。
It took Griz rookie Troy Bell to convert five-of-six free throws in the
final minute to secure the win. Bell finished with 12 points after making
nine of 13 foul shots.
還好新人Troy Bell最後關頭罰六中五保住了勝利。Bell今天一共得到12分,其中
罰球投12中9。
Pau Gasol and James Posey led the Griz (6-1) with 17 points apiece.
Gasol和Posey分別得到了並列全隊最高的17分。
"We're going to be a dangerous team if we do better on the road, especially
in the West," Gasol said. "We've played together. We've played with a lot of
intensity. We've gained confidence and trust in each other."
Gasol說:「如果我們在客場的表現好一點的話,我們在西區會是支可怕的隊伍。」
「我們打球充滿了活力與能量,隊友之間也彼此互相信賴。」
Their game against the San Antonio Spurs in Paris was the only road blemish
for the Griz in the preseason. The Griz won at Miami this week and beat
F.C. Barcelona in Spain.
他們在巴黎輸給馬刺的比賽是季前賽唯一輸掉的客場比賽。在西班牙則擊敗了巴塞隆納
隊,而這星期稍早也在客場把熱火隊給幹掉。
"What we're doing is building," Griz coach Hubie Brown said. "When you have
a young team, it's always a confidence boost to get road wins. And the key
is we've got a very unselfish team."
布朗教練說:「我們現在就好像在蓋房子一樣。如果你領導的是一隻年輕的球隊,在客
場獲得勝利對士氣是一種相當大的鼓舞,而獲勝的關鍵就在於每個球員都能做到無私努
力奉獻。」
Memphis last trailed 20-19 late in the opening quarter. The Grizzlies led
47-40 at halftime and opened up an 18-point cushion behind a 19-8 run to
start the third.
灰熊隊第一節打完僅以20-19領先,中場打完則以47-40領先七分。第三節一
開始則是拉開了一波19-8的猛攻,最多曾領先到18分!
"Our first unit was excellent," Brown said. "They rebounded well, played
good defense and hit their shots. I was especially pleased with the tempo
set by our first guys out there. They made the extra passes and that really
opened up things for a lot of easy shots."
「今天我們的先發打得真是棒呆了!」布朗教練說,「他們籃板搶得好,防守積極,
籃子又準,在比賽節奏的掌控方面也是沒話說。在不斷的導球下,出現了許多投籃的
好空檔。」
Memphis also held Chicago to just 37 percent shooting. The Bulls struggled
against the Grizzlies' defensive pressure. Heading into the game, the Griz
averaged 6.7 blocks, 12 steals, and 22 forced turnovers in the preseason.
灰熊的防守讓公牛的命中率低到只剩下37%,公牛們吃力的對抗灰熊的防守壓力。
在季前賽中,灰熊全隊平均每場比賽可以敲下6.7次的火鍋,12次的抄截,以及
造成對手有22次的失誤。
Griz point guard Jason Williams scored eight of his 10 points in the third.
J-Will在第三節得到他全場十分中的八分。
"Our record says we've done good but we don't have enough popcorn popping,"
Williams said. "But as long as we do what Hubie wants us to do and under-
stand our roles, we'll be fine."
J-Will說:「我們的數據說明了我們的表現已經夠好了,我們只是還沒有能夠好好
證明自己(是強隊)的機會。只要我們好好的做到布朗的要求,扮演好自己的腳色
,我們就會是支強隊。」
The Griz resume camp for a week before hosting Boston Oct. 31 in the season
opener.Brown said nothing would change. He's still going to emphasize
defense.
在灰熊第一場季賽對上塞爾提克之前,訓練營將持續的進行,布朗說訓練的重點將
不會改變。(防守!防守!防守!防守!)他將持續不斷的強調防守。
"We can put in full-court pressure traps and also the zones that were so
successful for us last year," Brown said. "But the basis of all of that is
your man-to-man principles."
布朗說:「我們可以給予對手成功的全場壓迫,或半場的區域防守,但這一切的根
本都將建立在人盯人的練習上。」
The only negative aspect of the preseason again reared its ugly head. The
Griz missed 14 free throws.
總結季前賽最要命的缺點還是在罰球。
"But we got into shape and we got the plays down," backup center Lorenzen
Wright said, evaluating training camp. "We've got everybody clicking, and
we're looking forward to an exciting season."
替補中鋒萊特說:「我們打得越來越好了。在訓練營中我們每個人都上緊了發條,
積極的為即將到來的賽季而備戰。」
