As the only member of ESPN.com's NBA panel to pick the Miami Heat to win this series, I want to explain why I saw this coming. And make no mistake, the Heat are going to win this series, maybe in five games but probably in six, which would suit me just fine. Miami in six was my pick. 身為唯一一個認為熱火會晉級的ESPN球評，我想該是時候解釋為什麼我會這麼認為。不要誤會，熱火可能會在第五戰晉級，但是第六戰晉級的機會會比較大，而這也正好符合我的預測 What factored into my choice more than anything was what I saw out of the Pistons during the last round when I covered a good portion of the Detroit-Cleveland series. It was at the Q Arena during Game 6 -- a win for Detroit -- that I lost my faith in the Pistons. 所有影響我判斷的因素中，就屬騎士與活塞最後幾場比賽的情況影響最大。尤其是第六場比賽，活塞在Q體育館的表現---活塞拿下勝利---讓我對活塞失去信心。 That was the game in which the Pistons grabbed three key offensive rebounds in the final minute-plus before Cleveland opted not to use its final timeout to set up a potential game-tying 3-pointer, missing its chance to close out that series. 那場比賽活塞在最後一分多鐘搶下三個關鍵的進攻籃板，讓騎士的戰術執行無效錯失了終結系列賽的機會(簡單翻譯)。 It was as pressure-packed a moment as there has been anywhere in the NBA this postseason, and what struck me was the way the Pistons couldn't put it away. Rasheed Wallace missed two jumpers and two free throws, and Chauncey Billups also yipped a free throw that would have put the Pistons ahead by four and sealed the win. 那是充滿壓力的一瞬間，就像是在今年季後賽中到處都可以看到的一樣。然而，讓我感到訝異的是，活塞竟然不能好好處理。希蛙錯失兩次跳投與兩個罰球，槍蜥也對著可以將比數拉開到四分並且鎖住比賽的罰球『尖叫』(沒進) They looked scared that night, and they were lucky to get out of there with a win. That's when I gave up on them. Scared and lucky is no way to win a title. 在那個晚上他們看起來相當的害怕，但運氣讓他們帶著勝利離開騎士主場。在此同時，我也放棄了他們，因為膽怯跟運氣是不可能贏得總冠軍的！ Another big factor was my belief that Detroit would not be able to defend Dwyane Wade, a fact that is being proven by his 70 percent shooting through the first four games. 另一個我認為活塞會輸的原因即在於他們守不住Wade，而70%的命中率也證明了一切。 The guy is as great a finisher as anyone in the league, and the reverse spin layup he knocked down while getting fouled early in the fourth quarter took the life out of the Pistons. They fell behind 63-61 on the three-point play, and they never led again as Miami took a commanding 3-1 lead in the series. Wade比起聯盟任何一個finisher(終結者？)都毫不遜色，而那記在第四節開始不久，造成小上加一的反向旋轉上籃奪走了活塞的生命。活塞就此落後，63-61，一記三分打然後他們就再也沒有領先過，讓熱火以三比一在系列賽中領先 But as I said earlier, the life was taken out of the Pistons in the last round when LeBron James nearly knocked them out. They've been lifeless in three of the four games in the series thus far, and the plug should be pulled either Wednesday night in Auburn Hills or Friday night back in Miami. 但就像我先前說的，活塞的老命在差點被騎士幹掉的時候就沒了。他們在四場對上熱火的系列賽中，有三場幾乎是行屍走肉，因此他們的火星塞應該會在星期三在奧本山或是星期五的晚上在邁阿密被拉開。 Then I can start worrying about my other pick, Suns in seven. Might have some explaining to do on that one. 然後我就可以開始擔心我的另外一個選擇，太陽七場出線。也應該要對此有些解釋才對。 -- Chris Sheridan -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.224.50.89
