NETS' SLIP SHOWING - 布魯克林籃網 Brooklyn Nets

By FRED KERBER Translated by netsfan

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

March 3, 2006 -- At least the Nets don't have a $125 million payroll. But
they have enough problems. The bench has been a disaster. A couple starters -
Richard Jefferson and Nenad Krstic - are frustrated for different reasons. No
help is in sight. And the defense has become downright opponent friendly.
Other than those little tidbits, the Nets are a well-oiled machine.

至少籃網沒有一億兩千五百萬要付的薪水，不過依然有些問題存在。
板凳群近來的表現只有個慘字。有兩位先發球員－RJ和NK，都不約而同的
對事情有些挫折，但是卻是對不同的理由。

沒有看的見的幫助以及防守已經完全變成對對手有利。

除了以上的小消息，籃網像是上好油的機器。

"It's a collective team effort. We don't segment the team in groups. We
didn't get it done from everyone involved when we lose. It's never just one
part of the team," said coach Lawrence Frank, whose bench has been walloped,
438-233 (27.4-to-15.5 ppg) in the last 16 games, including a 40-4 drubbing by
the T'wolves' subs in a 100-90 defeat in Minnesota, the club's third straight
loss.

“事情是由團隊所展現出來的。我們沒有把球隊細分成幾個不同組合團體。
當我們輸時，我們沒有讓所有球員有貢獻。這些從不是球隊的一部分”
法蘭克說。籃網的板凳總是遭到痛扁，在過去16場比賽，對手板凳438分，
而籃網板凳只貢獻了233分（平均27.4分和平均15.5分)，包含40-4的大差距
在前幾天對上灰狼的比賽。球隊目前三連敗。

Against Minnesota, all the warts were obvious. The defense, especially in the
second quarter, stunk. Minny shot .559 overall but .722 in the second quarter
when the Nets continued a recent bad bench trend. In the three losses, the
Nets were outscored, 92-57, in second quarters.

對抗灰狼 所有的缺點是很明顯可見的。防守，特別是在第二節，幾近消失，灰狼
總命中率.599，可是第二節他們的命中率高達.722，當籃網讓近況慘烈的板凳上場時
得到的成績。在這三連敗，籃網的分數在第二節被超出得分，95-57。

Against Indiana, the Nets began the quarter leading by one with just one
starter. They were down five points after 3:09, down 13 at halftime.

對抗印第安納溜馬，籃網在第一節領先一分，第二節開始籃網只有一名先發球員，
在3:09時只落後五分，但在半場時落後了13分。

Against Atlanta, four subs started the quarter with a two-point lead. When
the starters came back, the Nets were down five. Against Minnesota, the Nets
started the second quarter with a one-point lead and two starters, including
Jefferson, who went out after 2:09. With 3:17 gone, the Nets were down nine.

對抗亞特蘭大老鷹，四名替補球員以兩分領先的比賽開始。
當先發回來，籃網已經落後了五分。對抗明尼蘇達灰狼，籃網
第二節開始有一分領先，並且有兩名先發球員，包括在2:09時離開的RJ。
在過了3:17之後，籃網落後了九分。

"The bench, as a group, we're just not playing very confident. We're letting
our offense - or lack of offense - affect how we play on the other end," said
Cliff Robinson.

“板凳也是個群體，我們只是沒有打的很有自信。我們讓進攻或者是
鬆懈的防守產生我們如何打出的影響” Cliff大叔這樣說。

The bench must find consistency because both team president Rod Thorn and GM
Ed Stefanski stressed there is little chance of outside help arriving.

板凳必須找出穩定，因為兩位球隊總管Rod Thorn和GM Ed Stefanski表示
要從外部再找人另外尋求協助，機會是很微小的。

It's not just the bench feeling frustration. Jefferson scored 11 of his 25
points against Minnesota in the first quarter, shooting 5-of-5. He had 14
points, shot 4-of-14 after that, noting he wasn't being featured.

不只是板凳感到挫折，RJ在第一節得了總得分25分中的11分，投五中五。
後來投14中4，表示他並沒有被當作戰術上的主力。

"You have to look at what we were doing at the offensive end, what was
successful, who was successful in that first quarter. Were we doing the same
in the second quarter? We didn't," said Jefferson, who's averaging 24 points
and shooting .494 (41-83) in his last five games.

“必須去注意我們在進攻端做了什麼，哪些是成功的，而誰又在第一節表現的最好。
但是我們有在第二節作同樣的事情嗎？我們沒有。”平均24分 命中率.494在過去5場
比賽的RJ說。

Jefferson's reaction prompted a chat with Frank yesterday.

RJ的反應使Frank與他在昨天面談了一下。

"I spoke with Richard and we have no problem," Frank said. "Our issues are we
have to be better finding the right combinations on the floor."

“我和RJ談論過，我們之間沒有任何問題”Frank說。
“我們之間的爭議是如果要變的更好必須找出在場上對的組合”

And keeping the combos there. Krstic almost needed to be talked off a ledge
after more foul trouble. He played 20 minutes - the third time in five games
with 24 or less.

另外一件事情。KRSTIC幾乎需要表達一些事情，關於犯規麻煩。
他打了20分鐘，五場比賽的第三場，上場時間小於24分鐘。

"Very frustrating," Krstic offered. "I don't want to say it, but I think
something is wrong. It's not like one game, two games, five games. It's
almost every night I get cheap fouls."

NK表示：我相當的感到挫折，我不想說，但我認為有些事情是有問題的。
不只是一場兩場五場比賽。幾乎每場比賽我都會被吹一些過度嚴苛的犯規。
