※ 引述《hardaway (一分錢)》之銘言： http://www.denverpost.com/nuggets/ci_5351556 Quirky March to postseason on agenda With 15 games this month, Nuggets' season teeters on edge By Chris Dempsey, Denver Post Staff Writer Article Last Updated: 03/03/2007 11:54:30 PM MST March is the month playoff teams are made, and Nuggets coach George Karl knows it. 　　三月是個重要的月份，它將確定誰能進季後賽，老爹教頭也完全明白這個道理。 "It's been pivotal both years I've been here," Karl said. "We came back from the all-star break in my first year, had an incredible run, and March was the beginning of it. 　　「我在此執教的之前兩年啊，這個月份都超關鍵的。」老爹說：「第一年，在明星賽過後，我們打出了漂亮的成績(incredible run)，這一切都是從三月開始的。」 "The next year everybody thought we were going to fall flat on our face, we had all types of change and injuries, then we go on a road trip and won five out of seven games and I think could have won all seven of them." 　　「而隔年所有人都認為我們會直挺挺的落下，戰績一瀉千里。但我們有了許多的改變，也受了許多傷害，然後我們在三月的七場比賽中贏了五場，我認為我們是有實力全贏的。」　　 Karl's first two seasons as Nuggets coach netted a combined record of 23-7 in March. The 15 games this March, which started with a loss to Houston on Friday, are just as important. 　　總計老爹教頭前兩年在金塊隊三月的戰績是23勝7敗。而今年三月，我們卻以一場被火箭擊倒的輸球，開始了這個關鍵的月份。 The Nuggets' current wishy- washiness must subside this month or a playoff spot could be in jeopardy. Going into Saturday's games, they were in the seventh position in the Western Conference, but just 4 1/2 games separated the Nuggets and the next six teams behind them in the conference standings. 　　看來，今年這個潮濕多雨的三月(季後賽關鍵月)，將是丹佛金塊隊的危機了。在禮拜六的比賽前，我們在西區本來是排第七名，但與追趕在後面的六支球隊只有4.5場的勝差。 It means every game takes on a heightened importance, which in turn means the Nuggets must quickly shore up their weaknesses to keep themselves on the playoff track. 　　所以意思是現在每一場比賽都很重要，換句話說，金塊需要儘快擺脫低潮，並保持步調向季後賽前進。 "We're up-and-down too much," forward Linas Kleiza said. "One game we're great and another we're not. We're getting ready for the playoffs, but first of all we have to make the playoffs." 　　　「我們太不穩定了啦！」Linas Kleiza說：「有時我們很棒，但有時又不是這樣，我們已經做好打季後賽的準備，但是最重要的是，我們要能進季後賽啊！！」 Karl has a checklist of what needs to happen for the Nuggets not to sink this month. "I think recently the turnovers are important," he said. "I think continuing to tinker and develop and improve our offense, preferably with passing the ball more and moving the ball more. I still think we get too muddy with the ball. 　　為了不讓金塊隊在這個月沉沒下去，卡爾教練已經想好我們需要什麼了。　　他說：「我最近覺得失誤很重要，我想要持續的修補、發展、增強我們的防守，我也要使我們的球傳導更加流暢，並使球多流動，我還是覺得球員太黏球了。」 "And the third thing would probably be a defensive mentality every night. Consistency. Like I've said, at times we've been pretty good defensively. Every film I've watched you could put together a highlight film of good stuff. But then we can also put a nightmare film together of the same stuff." 　　「第三件事，我們在每晚的比賽都要用專注的精神來防守，就像我所說的，要有一致的毅力。我看過的這些比賽影片中，常常有hightlight的演出，但有時，卻像夢魘一樣。」 How is Denver doing in those areas? A breakdown of Karl's checklist: 　　到底金塊隊要如何改善呢？請收看卡爾的訓練清單： Issue: Turnovers 第一個問題：失誤 What the Nuggets plan to do: Improve focus 　　錦囊妙計：專注一心 Turnovers were a big problem until the last three games, and it appears the Nuggets have gotten better control. After averaging 21.7 turnovers after the all-star break, the Nuggets have averaged just 14.7 turnovers in their past three games, including a low of 12 in a win against Orlando. 　　失誤過多一直是金塊的大問題，直到最近這三場比賽才有起色，這表示金塊隊控制已經較能控制這個問題，在全明星週末後，我們單場平均有21.7次失誤，但是近三場比賽只有平均14.7次的失誤，贏魔術隊的那場比賽中，我們只有最低的12次失誤。 "You have to be a little more focused," guard Steve Blake said. "When you're being aggressive, just take care of the ball a little bit more. We have some very aggressive players, so sometimes turnovers are gonna happen." Denver is third-worst in the NBA in turnovers, averaging nearly 17 per game. 　　「我們要更專注點」Steve Blake說：「當你進攻很積極時，同時也希望能更努力盯緊那顆球。我們有一些具侵略性的球員，所以有時也會發生失誤。」　　統計最近的17場比賽中，金塊隊是全聯盟失誤第三高的。 Issue: Stagnant offense 　　第二個問題：停滯的進攻 What the Nuggets plan to do: Improve on-court chemistry and passing 　　　錦囊妙計：增加化學效應及傳導 Conventional wisdom says as the Nuggets continue to get practice sessions and games as a healthier team, offensive efficiency will improve and players will be more comfortable in roles around stars Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson. 　　傳統的智者會認為金塊隊仍再持續磨合，成為一隻更佳的球隊，進攻能力在環繞著兩大巨星運作的情況下，將會持續提高，也會變得更加穩定。　 "It's not easy at first - you've got to get used to picking your spots," Kleiza said. "But those two are the leading scorers in the NBA, so for the other guys, you've got to get used to them." 　　　　「一開始這並不容易，我們需要重新習慣定位」Kleiza說：「不過他們兩個是全NBA 最厲害的得分手，所以對我們其他人來說，需要去習慣他們。」 In the Nuggets' wins over Memphis and Orlando, that started to happen. Nene found a groove against the Grizzlies, picking his spots and dominating the paint on his way to 27 points and nine rebounds. Against Orlando, Kleiza and forward Eduardo Najera found openings and running lanes and finished with 15 and 17 points, respectively. 　　在對灰熊跟魔術的的比賽中，這些效應開始發酵，Nene在對灰熊的那場適應得不錯，找到了他的定位並貢獻出27分及9籃板；在對魔術的比賽中，Kleiza及Najera則表現很好，找到了屬於他們的出口並勇於向前，分別摘下15分及17分。 But in Friday's loss to Houston, Karl lashed out at his team for not moving and passing as they've been taught. "It's a work in progress," Blake said. "It feels like a training camp process right now. Sometimes it takes a little while. Hopefully, it will be sooner than later." 　　但在星期五對火箭的比賽輸球後，卡爾大聲責罵他的球隊，一點走位跟傳導都沒有！　　Blake說：「一切都在進度中。感覺就好像現在是訓練營，有時候會小小停滯一下，但很快又會再好起來」 The Nuggets remain the NBA's second highest-scoring team at 104.9 points per game. "I don't think offense is going to ever be our problem," Iverson said. 　　金塊隊是全聯盟平均得分第二高的球隊，平均一場可得104.9分。　　「我不認為進攻會是我們的問題」Iverson如此認為。 Issue: Defense 　　最重要的問題：Defense What the Nuggets plan to do: Further dedicate themselves 　　錦囊妙計：自我奉獻 Almost since the first day he arrived, Iverson has pleaded with the Nuggets to play better defense. That has started to rub off on Anthony. 幾乎是自從他第一天到來，AI就希望這隻球隊能有更好的防守，這是改造Melo 的開始。 "We know we can score 100 points on any given night," Anthony said. "But if we don't stop anybody, then they are going to get 110, 115 points and we don't want to do that. We want to start stopping teams." 　　　　Melo說話了：「我知道我們每場能轟下100分。但是我們如果無法阻止對方(得分) ，那麼他們就會幹下110、115分。我們可不想這樣，我們要阻止對方。」 Suddenly transforming into a defensive stalwart is out of the question for these Nuggets, who allow more than 104 points per game. But fundamentals are a must and that's where Anthony says the team is starting to see improvement. 　　對於金塊隊而言，忽然變成一個防守強隊是不可能的，但是有些防守的基本原則他們要能做到，就像Melo所說的，他們已經有了一點進步。 "We're starting to read each other a little bit better than we have in the past," Anthony said. "(Against Orlando) I feel we were on a string a little bit - one teammate goes to the left and we all go to the left. I think we did a great job of that. So as long as we keep getting better with the little things in defense it'll make us better." 　　「在最近的比賽中，我們開始更認真的去注意隊友，對魔術那場，我覺得我們有比較能串連在一起了，一個隊友想要往左，然後整隊一起往左壓迫。我覺得我們做的不錯。只要我們能更注意一些防守細節，我們會變更強的。」 March breaks down to seven games at home and eight on the road, including five road games in seven days. A good month means navigating some rough waters. 　　今年三月，將有七場主場比賽，以及八場到人家家裏作客，其中還包括了七天之內連續五場客場。這是個將要遠渡重洋的"好"月份。　　 "I think this team has always shown a strong perseverance," Karl said. "And we'll be challenged again." Chris Dempsey can be reached at 303-954-1279 or cdempsey@denverpost.com. 　　老爹說：「這隻球隊一直都展現了很好的毅力，我們將再度受到挑戰。」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.113.139.124
