標題看起來像是引戰，其實充滿著溜馬迷的無奈。最近網路上到處充斥著被哈利圈粉的新

正文開始
In the summer of 2003, a new era began in Indiana. Larry Bird returned as team
 president. Jermaine O’Neal and Reggie Miller re-signed. And a new head coach
, Rick Carlisle, stepped in.

2003 年夏天，印第安那溜馬迎來了一次重要轉變。Larry Bird 回歸擔任球隊總裁，Jerm
aine O’Neal 和 Reggie Miller 相繼續約，球隊也請來新任總教練 Rick Carlisle。

It was Carlisle’s first year coaching the Pacers, and with a young core, the
team immediately posted a league-best 61 wins - the best regular season in fra
nchise history.

那是 Carlisle 執教溜馬的第一年，這支以年輕球員為主的球隊，立刻打出聯盟最佳的 6
1 勝戰績，刷新隊史紀錄。

The Pacers swept the Celtics in the playoffs and took down a rising Miami team
 led by Dwyane Wade. They reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

季後賽中，溜馬橫掃 Celtics，又擊敗了年輕的 Dwyane Wade 帶領的 Miami Heat，順利
打進東區冠軍戰。

Though they fell 2-4 to the Pistons - a team built on elite defense - the futu
re was bright.

雖然最終以 2 比 4 不敵防守鐵血的 Detroit Pistons，但外界普遍認為，只要再磨合一
年，這支球隊將會更加可怕。

With rising stars like Jermaine O’Neal, Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson, and Jama
al Tinsley - and Carlisle already proving himself in year one - this was a tea
m built for a championship run.

Jermaine O’Neal、Ron Artest、Stephen Jackson、Jamaal Tinsley 都還年輕，而 Car
lisle 才剛接手一年，就已經讓球隊打出聯盟第一的成績。

Heading into the 2004-05 season, the Pacers were considered one of the favorit
es to win it all.

2004–05 賽季，印第安那溜馬被視為聯盟最有冠軍相的球隊之一。

But one night changed everything.

然而，一場本該輕鬆拿下的比賽，改變了一切。

November 19, 2004. The Pacers were up 97-82 in Detroit with just 45.9 seconds
left. The win was already sealed.

2004 年 11 月 19 日，溜馬作客底特律。在比賽剩下 45.9 秒時，他們已經以 97 比 82
 領先 15 分，勝負早已底定。

Then Ben Wallace lost his cool after a foul and shoved Ron Artest. Artest didn
’t retaliate - he followed his therapist’s advice and laid down on the score
r’s table to calm himself.

就在主力準備退場時，Ben Wallace 因一次犯規情緒失控，推了 Ron Artest。Artest 沒
有回擊，而是依照心理醫師的建議，走到記分台上躺下，試著讓自己冷靜下來。

That’s when a cup of beer flew from the stands and hit Artest. Chaos exploded
.

沒有人預料到，下一秒會改變整支球隊的命運。

Artest stormed into the stands. Jackson followed to protect him. O’Neal punch
ed a fan who ran onto the court.

觀眾席突然飛來一杯啤酒，砸中 Artest 的胸口。他衝上觀眾席，Stephen Jackson 立刻
跟上保護隊友，Jermaine O’Neal 則在場上擊退闖入場內的球迷。

The Malice at the Palace had begun.

場面徹底失控，這就是後來被稱為「奧本山宮殿鬥毆事件」的歷史轉折點。

In 2004, there was no social media. No instant replays on Twitter. And the lea
gue wanted to move past the incident quickly.

當時的 NBA 並沒有完善的場館安保，球員沒有保鏢，球迷可以輕易越過界線。

Rather than look at the full picture, the NBA threw the book at the Pacers.

這樣的事件如果發生在今天，觀眾早已拍下全程上傳網路，輿論多半會譴責挑釁球迷。但
在 2004 年，聯盟為了平息風波，選擇將責任全部推給溜馬。

Artest was suspended for the rest of the season - 73 games. Jackson got 30. O
’Neal, originally suspended for 25, had it reduced to 15.

Ron Artest 被禁賽整季（73 場），Stephen Jackson 停賽 30 場，Jermaine O’Neal
原本被禁賽 25 場，後來減為 15 場。

Five Pacers were suspended in total. More than half the roster was gone overni
ght.

其他球員也受到懲處，總共九位球員被處分，其中五人來自溜馬。這是 NBA 歷史上最嚴
厲的懲罰之一。

Reggie Miller led what was left of the team - a group fans came to call the “
Iron Six”: Fred Jones, James Jones, Austin Croshere, Eddie Gill, and David Ha
rrison.

球隊所剩人手無幾，Reggie Miller 領軍苦撐。他與 Fred Jones、James Jones、Austin
 Croshere、Eddie Gill 和 David Harrison 一起，被球迷稱為「六壯士」。

Somehow, that group still made the playoffs. They even beat the Celtics in the
 first round.

靠著這六人輪流拚戰，溜馬竟然還是打進了季後賽，並在首輪再次擊退 Celtics。

But against Detroit, they ran out of gas. And in front of a home crowd, Reggie
 played his final game.

然而在第二輪面對 Pistons 時，體力與人手都已耗盡，最終止步。季後，Reggie Miller
 在主場完成了他的最後一場比賽。

That Pacers team was built to win a title - not to be torn apart.

那一季的溜馬，原本是為冠軍而戰。最終卻因為聯盟對一場衝突的懲處而被拆散。

Carlisle tried to keep things afloat the next season - using 31 different star
ting lineups.

Rick Carlisle 在接下來的賽季中，面對主力禁賽與傷兵不斷的困境，整季總共使用了 3
1 套不同的先發組合。

But the damage was done.

艱難地把球季撐完。

The Pacers began a rebuild. They drafted Danny Granger. Later, Roy Hibbert.

這次的打擊太重了。此後幾年，溜馬進入重建期，以 Danny Granger 和 Roy Hibbert 為
核心。

Carlisle eventually left.

Rick Carlisle 執教四季後，也在現實與失落中黯然離開。

They never tanked. They drafted Paul George. Traded for Victor Oladipo.

溜馬從未真正擺爛，他們抽到了 Paul George，練出了一位準超級球星，也一度換來了 V
ictor Oladipo。

But every time they reached the Eastern Conference Finals, LeBron was in the w
ay.

他們始終不願當坦隊，持續力拼季後賽，但每次要衝破東區決賽，總會遇到名叫 LeBron
James 的巨大阻礙。

It felt like the window had shut in 2005.

那段未竟的旅程，彷彿就被封存在了 2005 年的夏天。

Until now.

直到今天。

Carlisle came back in 2021. And in 2024, he led this new generation to the NBA
 Finals.

2023 年，Rick Carlisle 再次回到印第安那，並率隊突破東決。從 2003、2004 到現在
，歷史彷彿重新流動。

This Pacers team plays with poise. They move the ball. They trust each other.

但這支溜馬雖然年輕，但卡帥卻已不再年少輕狂，他帶出了一支講求團隊，沉穩內斂，無
私互補的球隊。

They’re not just playing for now - they’re finishing what was stolen.

他們不只是為現在的勝利而戰，更是在替過去那支年輕而被犧牲的球隊，完成那段被中斷
的冠軍旅程。

This is for Reggie. For the Iron Six. For the team that never got its shot.

這是對 Reggie 的致敬，對六壯士的致敬，對那支曾準備好奪冠卻被奪走機會的溜馬的致
敬。

When Haliburton hit the dagger in Madison Square Garden, he turned to the boot
h and shouted - “Reggie!”

如果你有看到 Haliburton 在尼克主場掐脖的動作，那一瞬間他指向的正是轉播台上的 R
eggie。他高喊著：「Reggie！」

It was more than a celebration - it was a salute.

那是後輩對前輩的敬禮。

Indiana is back.

印第安那重新回來了。

This time, justice needs to be served.

這一次，聯盟也該還他們一個公道。

Let them finish the story - and let 90-year-old owner Herb Simon finally hold
that trophy.

把那段未完的歷史補上，給那位在 48 歲買下球隊、如今已經 90 歲的老闆 Herb Simon
，一次贏得總冠軍的機會。

We’re back.

我們回來了！
