http://blog.mlive.com/fullcourtpress/2007/05/webber_shows_extra_dedication.html C-Webb在第二戰比賽完的凌晨還在研究影片看看自己如何能表現得更好 May 9, Royal Oak Daily Tribune: While most people were sleeping in the early morning hours Tuesday, Chris Webber sat in a darkened room and watched a tape with steely eyed intensity. Webber was nearly flawless offensively in the Pistons' Game 2 crunching of the Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference semifinals a few hours earlier, but he wasn't poring over the game tape to stroke his own ego. He wanted to explore ways to get better and figure out what the Bulls might do in Chicago Thursday to slow him and his white-hot team down. "I'm up that late anyway," he said. "I'm a night owl." Usually, Webber checks over the game film after a good night's sleep, but he was too restless and pumped up to hit the pillow before he hit the study room. "I had a lot of energy, so I just watched the game last night," he said after practice Tuesday afternoon. "You just want to see what you're doing well and what you're not doing well. Your tendencies show up on tape, just little things, and I just wanted to see it while I was in the mindframe of the game, to remember plays and things like that." 波士頓記者DAN SHAUGHNESSY稱讚了活塞球員 May 9, Boston Globe: Warriors over the Mavericks in six is why we still love sports. Meanwhile, give me the Pistons in every series. Gotta love a roster populated by grownups who know how the game is played. 活塞和魔術第一戰的收視率很差但喬總說贏球最重要 http://blog.mlive.com/fullcourtpress/2007/05/dumars_not_concerned_about_pis.html May 10, New York Times: Game 1 of the Detroit-Orlando series was the second-lowest (1.6), according to an ESPN spokesman, Dave Nagel. When the Suns' Steve Nash could not stop the bleeding on his nose Sunday after colliding with the Spurs' Tony Parker, San Antonio won the opening game of the Western Conference semifinals. ABC said it drew a 3.5 rating, the highest of its playoff broadcasts. Ratings on ESPN are down 14 percent from last year's scintillating playoffs (when there was only one series sweep), but TNT ratings are equal to last year's, in part, because of the Golden State-Dallas series. The Pistons are used to hearing about low ratings, even as they have marched to the conference finals the past four years. "We're trying to be efficient, we're trying not to play more games than we have to," said Joe Dumars, the Pistons' president. "Whether this game has mass appeal -- that's not even on the radar. All you're concerned about is winning." Still, Dumars said that he stayed up past midnight to watch Golden State's remarkable run. http://blog.mlive.com/fullcourtpress/2007/05/comparing_the_pistons_to_the_7.html 老桑說活塞隊讓他想起了七零年代的尼克隊 May 10, Chicago Tribune: "I always said when I came here last year, from the first practice, that's who this team reminded me of the `70 Knicks," Pistons coach Flip Saunders said. "The unselfish play. They don't seem to care who scores. Over the course of the game they never beat themselves. They don't turn the ball over and rely on making the right basketball play. "Everyone on the floor does something to make the other guys better, and that's how you want to play." ... The comparison isn't lost on these Pistons, who have yet to come close to the Knicks' success _ NBA titles in 1970 and 1973 with slightly different casts. But with the addition of Webber midway through this season, the Pistons have changed in character and come close to mirroring that classic team. C-Webb說活塞隊友非常相信彼此，非常專注在該做的事情上面 "Yes, I think about that," Webber said. "I remember talking to (Dave) DeBusschere. He had come back to UD (University of Detroit) and he was talking about team, trusting one another. This team is by far the best I've ever been on as far as trusting each other. It's not the most athletic team, not the youngest, but the best as far as focusing on what it needs to do." 曾是當年尼克球員的Phil Jackson則認為活塞比較像八零年代晚期的活塞 Laker coach Phil Jackson, who played for those Knick teams, doesn't necessarily agree with the comparison. "They remind me of (Joe) Dumars' team back in the late `80s with strong guards, outside shooting bigs. ...(Tayshaun) Prince is good one-on-one like Adrian Dantley and Mark Aguirre, but also a stopper on defense." http://0rz.pixnet.tw/2b2AW 老桑說活塞得準備好公牛開賽的一輪猛攻 "Mentally, we have to know they are going to be aggressive right off the bat," Pistons coach Flip Saunders said. "We have to be prepared for their early onslaught. If we can withstand it, then all of a sudden we can take that momentum away." "We need to take care of the basketball better (averaged 19 turnovers the first two games), continue to rebound, defend, execute our offense, make easy plays and control the tempo," Saunders said. "We have to take their momentum away, and to do that, we can't turn the ball over. Turnovers lead to exciting plays for them which gets the crowd turned on." 活塞如何守住公牛雙衛老桑才不跟你說呢 Guards shackled Saunders was asked how the Pistons have been able to keep Bulls guards Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich quiet. "I am not going to tell you that," he said. Delfino這暑假可能不參與美洲冠軍賽了 Carlos Delfino is apparently puzzled Argentine national coach Sergio Hernandez has not contacted him about playing in the Americas Championship this summer. Delfino said last week he wasn't sure he was going to play, but with Hernandez's lack of communication, he is leaning toward skipping the tournament. "I truly don't know if I will go or not," Delfino told Ole newspaper in Argentina. "I haven't talked to anybody yet and nobody has come here to see me. I haven't met anybody and I don't know what the plan is." 活塞在季後賽的客場戰績算是還可以接受 The Pistons are 16-17 on the road in the playoffs since 2002-03. Last year's Eastern Conference finals loss to the Heat was the only series during that time they failed to win at least one road game. （有人要翻可以推文哦） -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.139.220.148
