They can chose to ignore it or they can chose to do something about it even if it may not make sense in the short term.现在迈阿密热火正面临着一个进退两难的问题，他们可以选择忽视，也可以对此做出一些改变，尽管在短期内这不会有什么意义。The Heats players, especially their stars, are tired. Actually, thats not strong enough. Theyre gassed. It shows in their performance, it shows in their attitude and it has been showing in the results.热火的球员们，尤其是他们的巨星们，累了。实际上，疲劳虽然不明显，但是却似乎能够传染。从热火球员的场上表现你能看出来，从他们的比赛态度你能看出来，当然，疲劳更能从比赛的结果显示出来。The prudent thing to do is to start shutting some players down over the next two weeks so they can attempt to regain some stamina for the playoffs. Not a day off in the last week of the year. But multiple days off now, when they need it badly, so they can still build up a rhythm going into the playoffs.目前比较谨慎的做法是在接下来的两周内让一些球员得到轮换休息的机会，从而能让自己的球员精力充沛的迎接即将到来的季后赛。在过去的一周内，热火的球员们没有缺席一场比赛，但是在球队急需体能的时候，如果从现在开始，球员能获得一些休息的机会，热火将以更好的节奏进入到残酷的季后赛大战。Yes, even coming off a huge win over the Thunder. Yes, even though the Bulls have been stumbling a bit without Derrick Rose and have allowed the Heat back into the race for the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Yes, even with big games coming up in the next two weeks with the Celtics, Bulls and Knicks.对，球队刚刚大胜了西部领头羊雷霆；对，缺少了德里克罗斯的公牛现在表现有了一些挣扎，从而给了热火重新夺回东部榜首的机会；对，在接下来的两周内，热火将连续面对与凯尔特人，公牛以及尼克斯的恶战。This suggestion goes against the Heat way. Pat Riley is famous for working his players into the ground. When they are tired he usually just pushed them harder. Last week after the Heat had played eight games in 13 days, six of them on the road, Erik Spoelstra conducted what he called a “training camp practice.” This was just before the team started five-games-in-seven-days stretch. On one of those off days, he held another practice, though this one was at least non-contact.不过，让球员休息的建议却与热火的对策正好相反。帕特莱利以激励队员更加努力的打球而著称，当球员们感到疲劳时，莱利会更加严厉的鞭策他们。上周，在热火队刚刚经历了13天8战的严酷赛程后（其中6个客场），主帅斯波尔斯特拉选择了被他称为训练疗法的调整方式，要知道在接下来的7天内等待热火的还有5场比赛，但就是在其中没有比赛的日子，斯波尔斯特拉依然又安排了一场训练，尽管这是无球训练。Chris Bosh looks like hes running in sand half the time right now. Hes averaged three fewer rebounds per game after the All-Star break than before it. When he was asked about the precipitous drop off he explained it by saying “the ball isnt bouncing my way right now.” The ball is bouncing just the same, Bosh is just too worn out to chase it down. Hes not getting the same lift on his jumpers, either. It screams dead legs.现在的克里斯波什在场上就像在沙地里奔跑，自全明星周末后，波什的场均篮板下降了3个，当被问及篮板球的急剧下滑时，波什的说法是“球就是不向我的方向反弹”，实际上，球的运行轨迹跟以前一样，只是波什太过于疲劳而无法抢下他们。同样，他的跳投也已大不如前，因为双腿已经被疲劳所拖垮。Dwyane Wade took 13 3-pointers before the All-Star break. Hes taken 38 3-pointers since then, the result of fewer basket attacks. He shot 56 percent in February and has shot 49 percent since, 45 percent in his past five games. Those numbers are still good but theyre headed in the wrong direction.在全明星周末前，德怀恩韦德只尝试了13次三分球，但是自全明星周末后，韦德一共在三分线外出手38次，这就意味着他冲击内线攻击篮筐的次数大为减少。2月份，韦德的命中率为56%，之后是49%，但是在过去的五场比赛中，他的命中率已经下降到了45%，尽管这个数据依然优秀，但是却在朝错误的方向发展。Beyond the numbers, just watching Wade you can see he doesnt have the same explosion. Wade averaged just under 32 minutes a game during the first half of the season. Over his last 13 games, played over 25 days, hes averaged 37 minutes a game. It shows.除了数据外，只要你看看韦德的比赛就会发现他的爆发力也已经大不如前。上半赛季，韦德场均出场时间不到32分钟，但是在过去25天的13场比赛中，他的场均出战时间上升到37分钟，这就说明了问题。LeBron James is averaging 37.8 minutes a game, just about the lowest of his career. But hes never played a season like this and his minutes have been rising. Hes averaged about four more minutes a game in March and April than he did in February. James performance hardly changes based on minutes played but hes dealt with minor injuries to his neck, finger, ankle and elbow recently.虽然勒布朗詹姆斯场均37.8分钟的上场时间为生涯最低，但是他还从未像本赛季这样打球，他的出场时间也在呈上升趋势。在三月份与四月份，小皇帝的场均出场时间比二月份增加了4分钟，从时间上来看，詹姆斯的表现没有什么改变，但是在最近，他却频繁遭遇脖子，手指，脚踝与肘部的轻微伤病。Theres a reason the Heats offensive numbers have dropped significantly over the last six weeks. Their stars, who were the engine of their up-tempo attack, have worn down playing a style that required lots of energy in a no-rest season. Its not an indictment of Spoelstra or anyone else. But it is the truth.在过去六周内热火的进攻数据有了大幅下滑的原因是：作为球队快节奏进攻发动机的巨星们，在这个几乎没有休息时间的赛季里，在热火需要耗费大量精力的进攻体系内已经精疲力竭了，这不是斯波尔斯特拉的错，不是任何人的错，但是这是事实。The advance scouts see it, the opposing teams see it, the fans can see it and the players can feel it even if it is not something they would discuss publicly.虽然热火不会公开谈论这个问题，但是球探们看出来了，对手看出来了，球迷们看出来了，热火的球员们也感觉到了。It would be nice for the Heat if they could overtake Chicago for the top seed and outlast the Thunder and Spurs to make sure they have homecourt advantage if they are to make the Finals. But in this season, a year like no other most of these players have experienced in their lifetime, the biggest priority may be health and energy.如果热火能成功反超公牛夺得东区头把交椅，并且在打进总决赛面对雷霆或马刺时拥有主场优势，那就太好了。但是在
