By Jonathan Abrams, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer April 19, 2008 丹佛希望只用進攻打垮湖人，締造老八傳奇 They embody the NBA's fusion of hip-hop and pick and roll, oozing of swagger, boasting of athleticism and as the unofficial titleholders of the team with the most body art. 他們融合了 Hip -Hop跟 Pick and Roll，體能超強，更可以說是NBA 最多刺青的一隊。 These Denver Nuggets are star-studded and expensive, carrying one of the league's highest payrolls. 金塊真的是用金打造的，聯盟薪水總合最高的一隊，一顆一顆用鑽石做的星星鑲在上面真是金光閃閃啊。 They scratched and clawed their way to the playoffs, finally curling their fingers around the Western Conference's eighth spot and earning a first-round matchup against the Lakers. 他們用盡各種方法終於攀上了季後賽這個懸堐，卻發現站在他們面前的是西區第一種子洛杉磯湖人。 And for Denver, as with most playoff teams, there is praise and promise, scattered somewhere along with concern and compatibility. 就跟今年很多球隊一樣，是晉級有希望，但沒人敢擔保真的會晉級。 TNT's Charles Barkley recently labeled Denver talented but also as "the most disappointing team in the league." 名嘴以及前球員，Charles Barkley先生最近發表了他的意見，認為金塊球員很有天份，卻也是最讓人失望的一支球隊。(不是熱火喔？) And the fallout from Carmelo Anthony's arrest this week on suspicion of drunk driving is yet to be ascertained. 而，本周 Carmelo Anthony因酒駕被逮捕的後續影像，也還需要觀察。 "I think our team has to worry a little bit more about ourselves than most playoff teams," Nuggets Coach George Karl told reporters in Denver on Friday. "If we turn the light switch on and [keep] it on, we'll be fine. Sometimes it's a dimmer. I'm sure there's some sports psychologist out there who can figure it out." 「我想我的球隊比其他季後賽球隊還擔心自己一點，」金塊教練George Karl星期五對記者這麼說的。「如果我們找到開關，又可以一直讓火不要熄滅的話，我們應該是沒問題啦。只可惜這火有的時候小了一點...，你們自己找運動心理分析專家解釋吧。」 It doesn't take one to figure out that something went right. It went right to the tune of 50 wins in Denver, the first time the Nuggets reached that mark since the 1987-88 season. 還好我們不需要專家來知道，本季金塊大部分時間是在正確的軌道上。本季金塊在87-88 球季之後，第一次拿下50勝。 Largely because they can score. 當然這很大的原因是因為他們攻擊火力猛烈。 The names alone of Anthony (25.7 points a game) and guard Allen Iverson (26.4 points) are enough to give an opposing coach insomnia. 呵呵，光是Carlmeo Anthony (平均25.7分) 跟 Allen Iverson (平均26.4分)就足夠讓對手的教練睡不著了。 They are major factors why the Nuggets won 10 regular-season games by 20 points or more. 他們倆可是為什麼今年金塊在季賽有十場贏了20分或更多。 The play of Denver's reserves -- outside threats J.R. Smith, who averaged 15.5 points in March and April, and Linas Kleiza -- will also be critical if the Nuggets are to win the series. 金塊的替補，丁尺 Smith跟 Linas Kleiza，兩個得分能力都很強的球員，在本系列賽中也會很重要。 The Nuggets' problem is they like scoring so much, they let other teams do it at will too. Denver lost seven games by 20 points or more. 其實，金塊的問題是，他們超愛得分的，所以也很開心的讓對方瘋狂得分...，相對於10場贏了20分以上，他們也輸了7場輸20分以上的球賽。 Their defense is largely centered on Marcus Camby, the league's reigning defensive player of the year, who patrols the paint and is assisted every once in a while by forward Kenyon Martin. 金塊的防守全被塞在聯盟蟬連數年的最佳防守球員，勉族 Marcus Camby身上，偶而K. Martin會想起來幫忙一下而已。 The team is rounded out by others who went through the regular season feigning as much interest in defense as a weekend hoopster playing at a local gym. 而他們剩下的球員對防守的興致則是跟一個在體育館打球的小孩一樣。 The Nuggets rise and fall with a risk-and-reward defense. Often Denver goes for steals and the chance at a fastbreak if it is there and often if it is not. "They probably have more talent than anyone in the NBA," Barkley said. "If they just tried to play defense, they could be scary." 金塊球員們防守都是賭博式防守，一抄到球後不管可不可行都是強硬快攻。「他們大概比NBA任何一隊有天份，」巴克利說，「如果他們只是嚐試著去拼防守的話都會很可怕。」 Former Laker Michael Cooper, who coached the Nuggets for 14 games before Karl took over, said the Nuggets have an added dimension. 前湖人球員，Karl拿回兵符前的教頭 Michael Cooper說金塊還有一個優勢。 Playing in a high-altitude city, the Nuggets look to run their opponents until the other team's knees wobble. "And when they come to sea level, they try to turn it up even more," Cooper said. 在這個高海拔的球場，金塊會不斷的跑，跑到對手膝蓋發抖。「當他們來到海平面的時候，他們會跑的更賣力。」Cooper說。 But they also have the added baggage of Anthony's situation. 不過，他們現在要擔心Carmel的狀況。 Compared to other stars in his draft class, including LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, Anthony seems to have had the hardest time assimilating into the corporate components of the game. 跟同梯的好友，如閃電俠跟皇帝不同，他似乎很難抓到成為Super Star的訣竅。 Anthony apologized for his latest arrest, but he has been in several high-profile incidents since entering the NBA in 2003. He consented to a blood test in the DUI case, but the results won't be available for several days. His first court appearance is scheduled for May 14. Anthony為他被逮捕的事件公開道歉，但是他自從03年加入NBA之後就一直很不低調。這次酒駕血液測驗數天後結果會出來，他將在五月14上法庭。 "Carmelo has had his off-the-court clashes in the past, but once you walk into that gym you leave everything behind you," Cooper said, before adding a small jab. "They take a bus to the gym, so it shouldn't affect him." 「Carmelo在場外或許有些問題，但是站到球場上你什麼都不需要管了。」Cooper 說，還不外補上一刀；「他們都是坐巴士到球場的，喝酒對他沒影響啦。」 Instead, Cooper said, Anthony probably will be more affected by sharing the court with Iverson. Cooper說，其實最麻煩的還是場上沒有兩顆球。 Both are scorers who thrive on one-on-one play. But because Iverson has the ball in his hands as a guard, he is able to more often create shots for himself. AI 跟 Melo都是單打得分的球員，但是因為AI 是後衛，他拿到球、自己出手的機會比較多。 "When I coached [Anthony], he was the go-to guy," Cooper said. "He's not that now. He's a second option. . . . If he's not the first option, he's a little more selfish and he's going to look to his shot and look to score. [Iverson] can come and take three or four shots and then [Anthony] is going to be looking for the next one even if it could be a bad shot." 「當我還是教練的時候，Melo是第一選擇，但現在他是第二選擇了。當他不是第一進攻手的時候，他會開始腦充血自幹。如果AI 連投了兩三球的話，Melo會不計一切的投出下一球，就算那一球是濫投。」 Anthony was remorseful when he issued his apology, and at Friday's practice he appeared relaxed and focused in front of Denver reporters. Anthony在道歉的時候表現的很自責，到了星期五練習的時候，他看起來是很放鬆、精神很集中的。 He is unflinching in his belief that the Nuggets can pull off an upset in his bid to get past the first round of the playoffs for the first time in his career. 他依然相信今年他跟金塊可以闖過第一輪。 "We're confident," he said. "We're the underdog right now. I love being in this situation." 「我們很有自信的，」他說，「我們現在是不被看好的，我正好也喜歡這樣。」知己知彼百戰百勝，明天就知道Melo到底有沒有被影響到... 祝湖人馬到成功，第一戰開胡！ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 74.140.130.91
