超賽VS山貓賽前分析 - 波士頓塞爾提克 Boston Celtics

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/preview?gameId=280405030

先貼上 ESPN的Preview 也許這場賽事不重要 但我個人覺得還滿有趣的

山貓與超賽過去的對戰狀況


Sat 11/24 BOS 96, @ CHA 95 超賽靠RayAllen三分Buzzer險勝
Wed 1/9 CHA 95, @ BOS 83 超賽第二次主場的淪陷(第一次是活塞)
Fri 2/29 @BOS 108 , CHA 100
Apr 5, 2008 BOS @ CHA

三場下來 山貓對我們的DIFF是+1，也就是平均還高我們一分的意思
山貓可以說是對我們超賽似乎特別有辦法(相較之下)
看NBA板有一篇統計也是說山貓是唯一的低於五成勝率卻贏過我們的隊伍
(與其說是強隊殺手，不如說是超賽殺手?)

The Celtics will play without Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen in
Saturday's game against the Bobcats, as they rest their stars heading into
the playoffs.
Terrible news for owners of Boston's Big Three. The Celtics only need one win
or one Pistons' loss to clinch the Eastern Conference, and coach Doc Rivers
plans to determine his star players' availability "on a game-by-game basis".
Regardless of which reserves slide into starting roles, their value will be
too inconsistent and short-lived to warrant a pick-up.

大概就是說超賽再贏一場或是活塞再輸一場，東區第一就穩了。
整體來講就是進入歡樂練兵時期，所以三巨頭沒上(或是打很少時間)也不要太驚訝。

Gerald Wallace scored five points before leaving Friday's game with a groin
injury.
The Bobcats are out of the playoff hunt and have just six games remaining.
You can probably do the math yourself, but we don't believe there's much of a
chance of Wallace playing again this season. Jermario Davidson, Jared Dudley,
Matt Carroll and Nazr Mohammed are all likely to see a bump in minutes if
Wallace is done.

之前對山貓的三場都沒有G.Wallace
但是G蛙復出後，出賽一直很穩定，超賽還沒對到過有G蛙的山貓，
對山貓來講是一個利多，但是昨天對暴龍好像有傷到，列出Daytoday觀察名單
明天對超賽的比賽會不會出賽又是一個變數。

Celtics-Bobcats Preview

The Boston Celtics' return to prominence has been well-documented after the
team acquired Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett in the offseason. With their latest
win, the Celtics' turnaround became historic.

After matching the record for the biggest single-season turnaround in NBA
history, the league-best Celtics continue their march toward the playoffs
Saturday as they visit the Charlotte Bobcats.

Boston (60-15) has 36 more wins than it did last season, when it went 24-58
and finished with the second-worst record in the league. The turnaround has
tied that of the 1997-98 San Antonio Spurs, who won 56 games after drafting
Tim Duncan with the No. 1 overall selection in 1997 -- a pick they earned by
going 20-62 in 1996-97.

While turning around a franchise that had just three winning seasons in the
previous 14 years is gratifying, Celtics coach Doc Rivers knows his team's
true success will be measured in postseason play.

"It's nice," Rivers said of the record, but "when we started the season it
was not on our list of things we wanted to do."

At the top of that list is ending the team's 22-year championship drought.

"We're well past where I've been," Celtics forward Paul Pierce, who has spent
all 10 of his NBA seasons with Boston, said after the team got its 60th
victory Wednesday against Indiana, 92-77. "I've only won 49 games. Sixty is
all good. (But) we have a bigger picture in mind."

The bigger picture doesn't include the Bobcats (29-47), who are on the brink
of mathematical elimination thanks to their fourth losing record in as many
seasons.

上面都在講超賽戰績最佳進步的東西，就不翻譯了。

Charlotte, though, has won five of its last eight games, including a 105-100
victory at Toronto on Friday night.

山貓過去八場贏了五場，甚至在暴龍主場逞兇。

"It was a huge win for us," said Bobcats guard Jason Richardson, who had 27
points, seven rebounds and six assists. "We know that it's getting close to
getting teams eliminated from the playoffs, but we still got team goals that
we want to accomplish and we are going to play hard until the last game of
the season."

Jason Richardson:雖然沒辦法打季後賽，但我們會認真的打接下來每一場比賽

Given the Celtics' turnaround and the Bobcats' continued mediocrity, it
stands to reason that the season series between the clubs wouldn't be all
that dramatic. Boston, though, needed a steal and a buzzer-beater from Allen
to win the first meeting 96-95 on Nov. 24.

沒Allen的Buzzer 其實這場也挫賽。

Charlotte defeated the Celtics 95-83 on Jan. 9, before Boston reclaimed the
season series lead with a 108-100 victory on Feb. 29.

The Bobcats could have a better chance of earning a split against the Celtics
if Rivers follows through on his promise to rest some of his top players to
have them healthy and fresh for the postseason.

這段是說山貓有機會在超賽讓主力休息的狀況下拿到一勝。

"I'm going to absolutely start playing some different guys for a while,"
Rivers said, adding that he'd be "cranking it back up" shortly before the
playoffs.

河流說，要來加強防守。

超賽的利多:G蛙傷勢未明，有可能不會上，山貓btb出賽，體力的影響?

山貓的利多:超賽PP不會出賽，有主場優勢

打這篇是給大家參考參考，至於事情如何，還是要打了才會知道。
