http://0rz.tw/d140W Leon Powe plays a big role Kendrick Perkins showed up wearing a mask. Leon Powe might have arrived wearing a cape. Kendrick Perkins出现的时候带着面罩。Leon Powe到达时也许带着披肩斗篷。 So it was for the men in the middle last night at the Garden, where the Celtics walloped the Atlanta Hawks by a 110-85 score in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference playoff series. Powe, the backup, played more minutes than Perkins, the starter, though it was the nature of Powe’s performance that was of far greater importance. 在Celtics昨天以110比85击溃老鹰队的季後赛系列第五战，这是为了在比赛中段才上场 的这个男人准备的。替补球员 Powe打的比先发Perkins还久，这是因为他的表现，让他 有够伟大的重要性。 Simply put, he was a beast. 简单地说，他是一只野兽。 “Well, you know, Leon is a big part of our ballclub. He brings the energy,” guard Sam Cassell said. “He got some minutes and he got in a great rhythm early. He’s the key to our ballclub on some nights. His energy, it’s everything. Everything we get from our bench is a big addition to what we’re getting from the Big Three.” “嗯，你知道的吧，Leon是我们球队很重要的一部分。他带来能量。”後卫Sam Cassell 说”他得到一点上场时间，可以很快进入绝佳节奏中。他是我们球队某些晚上的关键。 他的能量，就是全部。我们从板凳上得到的，对从三巨头身上得到的来说，都是很大的 帮助。” So the Celtics look like they are awake again, at least for now, entering Game 6 in Atlanta tomorrow night. A road team still has not won a game in this series. The Celtics last night looked much like the club they were in Games 1 and 2, when blowout victories had many believing this series would be over by now. 所以至少现在， Celtics看起来是又睡醒了，接着明晚要回到亚特兰大打第六战。这个 系列战中还没有球队在客场赢过球。 Celtics昨晚看起来比较像那只赢了前两战的球队 ，当时那两场大胜，让很多人相信这个系列战现在应该已经结束。 For Powe, in particular, Game 6 will be quite the challenge. He played a combined 38 minutes in Games 1 and 2 of this series before being a complete nonfactor in Game 3, when he logged a mere 6:04. The message was clear. Coach Doc Rivers reaffirmed after the loss that the most active Celtics big men would get the minutes the rest of the way, though Powe did not need to hear the lecture. 特别是对Powe，第六战绝对会是一大挑战。他在前两战总共打了38分钟，但是到了第三 战，他完全变成个无关紧要的因素，只打了6分04秒。这个讯息是很清楚的。Doc Rivers 在败战後重申了，在剩下的比赛，最有运动力的Celtics长人会得到上场时间，虽然Powe 不需要听到这些谈话。 “I saw how he changed the rotation,” Powe said. “I would be out there for two minutes and then I’d sit. That’s the coach’s decision and I can’t do anything about that. I just made up my mind (going forward) that I was always going to play hard. I went out there (last night) and said, ‘I’m just going to play free.’ ” “我看到他如何改变上场轮替了。”Powe 说”我会上场个2分钟，然後就坐板凳。这是 教练的决定，我无能为力。我只是下定决心 (继续努力)我要一直很认真地打球。我(昨 晚)上场的时候说’我就只是上场自由自在地发挥。’” Know what else Powe said? He admitted that the trip to Atlanta was a learning experience for him. He admitted that the environment might have overwhelmed him. He had never played a road playoff game, after all, and suddenly the man who has made a career through his relentless play found himself on his heels, tentative, timid. 知道Powe还说了什麽吗？他承认亚特兰大之旅对他来说，是段学习经验。他承认环境有 点压倒了他。他从来没有打过季後赛客场比赛，忽然间这个生涯中一直打得很残暴的男 人发现，自己有点试探跟胆怯。 Then came last night, when Perkins picked up two fouls before the game was five minutes old. Along the way, Perkins removed a face guard he had worn onto the floor for the opening tip, at one point lifting the unsightly mask onto the top of his head as it were a pair of sunglasses, forgetting they were there at all. 然後就是昨晚了，当比赛才进行了不到五分钟，Perkins 就领了两次犯规。被换下来时 ， Perkins脱掉了从跳球以来一直带着的面罩，中间有一度他把它拉到头上像是太阳眼 镜般，想要忘记面罩的存在。 “I did (forget),” said Perkins, who suffered a bloody nose earlier in the series when he was whacked in the face. “I think I’ve gotta go through a workout with it. It didn’t feel right. I think I’ve gotta give it a few days, man.” “我的确忘记了”Perkins 说，上一场比赛中，他的脸被打了一下流鼻血”我想我得在 练习时带着它。它感觉不是很对。老兄，我想我大概需要好几天时间习惯。” So out went the mask. 所以面罩下场了。 And a few minutes later, out went Perkins, too, 然後几分钟後，Perkins也下场了。 Over the next 14 minutes, what Powe gave the Celtics was nothing short of a major boost. He scored seven points and grabbed seven rebounds. In the first half, Powe actually had more offensive rebounds (five) than the entire Hawks roster (four). Powe also took a pair of charges, meaning he forced more turnovers (two) than the Celtics committed (one) in the first 24 minutes. 在接下来的14分钟，Powe给 Celtics的，完全不亚於一股大爆发。他得了七分，抓了七 个篮板。事实上，上半场Powe抓的进攻篮板(五个)比老鹰队全队(四个)还多。Powe还制 造了两次进攻犯规，代表他在前24分钟造成的对方的失误(两次)，比 Celtics自己全队 的失误(一次)还多。 Of course, these Celtics are built around the threesome of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, each of whom took turns holding the Celtics by the hand last night. Pierce dominated the first quarter, Allen the third. Garnett made perhaps the biggest basket of the night, a spin out of the low post midway through the third quarter that stymied an Atlanta run and turned a six-point lead into an eight-point advantage. On the very next possession, Garnett whipped out a pass to Allen for a wide-open 3-pointer that extended the lead to 11. Atlanta never got closer. 当然罗， Celtics还是建筑在三巨头的主旋律之上，他们三个昨晚轮流跳出来保住胜果 。Pierce主宰了第一节， Allen是第三节，KG投进了也许是全场最重要的一球，一个在 第三节的低位转身投篮，终止了亚特兰大的进攻，把领先从六分扩大到八分。就在次一 个进攻机会，KG外传给空档的 Allen投进一个三分，把比数扩大到11分，然後老鹰就再 也没有接近过了。 When all was said and done, Powe had 10 points, seven rebounds and a blocked shot in a game the Celtics absolutely, positively had to win. The effort seemed relatively minor, though the other members of the Celtics, including Perkins, would hardly minimize Powe’s contributions. 当比赛结束时，在这场 Celtics绝对绝对要赢的比赛，Powe得了10分7篮板1火锅。他的 努力似乎比较少，但是Celtics的其他球员，包括Perkins，很难轻忽Powe的贡献。 They might even tell you his performance was masked. 他们也许会告诉你，他的表现就像蒙面英雄。 --
