http://0rz.tw/ef45U Perkins Comes Up Huge in Game 7 Rout Couper Moorhead Celtics.com May 4, 2008 The Celtics were playing Game 7 because they hadn't been themselves -- one of the best defensive teams in the league -- in Atlanta. Just leave it to their sleepless center to provide the show-don't-tell reminder. Celtics 正打第七战，因为他们在亚特兰大不太像自己了—联盟防守最好的球队之一。 就让他们没睡觉的中锋提供一点提醒吧。 Among all the things that went right in the Boston Celtics' 99-65 Game 7 victory over the Hawks, which was pretty much everything, it was hard for anything to stand out. But in submitting one of the best, if not the best, showings of his career, Kendrick Perkins did just that. 在第七战的胜利中，差不多几乎每件事都作对了，很难说有哪一样特别突出。但是如果 要说这是Kendrick Perkins生涯目前最好的表现之一，如果不是唯一，差不多就是这样。 Perkins, like many of his teammates and coach Doc Rivers (who needed an Ambien) , couldn't sleep the night before the win-or-go home contest. It wasn't until 2:30 Sunday morning that the center was able catch any Z's for the 1 p.m. game, but whatever amount he caught was like the baby bear's porridge: just right. Perkins就像他很多队友和教练Doc Rivers (他需要一颗安眠药)，在这场没有退路的比 赛前一晚睡不着。大概直到凌晨两点半，这个中锋才小憩了一下，但是不管他睡了多久 ，就像熊宝宝的麦片粥一样(想听这个寓言故事的请看这 http://0rz.tw/6c43w ) ：刚 刚好。 "I felt like the last two days have been tough. I haven't been able to get enough sleep, so I just came out and set the tone, leave it all out on the court," Perkins said. "I wasn't trying to go home." “我觉得过去两天是很辛苦的。我没有得到足够的睡眠，所以我上场然後定调，就在场 上解决这一切吧”Perkins说”我没尝试要回家。” Maybe it had something to do with the two cans of Red Bull in his locker, but while he lost the opening tipoff, that was the only blotch on Perkins' tone -setting night. 也许是跟他置物柜里那两罐红牛提神饮料有关，总之除了一开赛没点进的那一球，Perkins 的定调之夜差不多是没什麽瑕疵的。 On the Celtics first offensive possession, Perkins was there to tip in a Ray Allen miss. With the crowd on its feet chanting "DE-FENSE", Perkins was there for the rebound and a fallaway jumper on the other end. When Joe Johnson drove the paint for a layup, Perkins was there to send it back, kickstarting a Rondo -to-Ray fastbreak. 在Celtics的第一个进攻机会，Perkins 在那里点进了Ray Allen没进的篮球。当观众大 喊”防--守”，Perkins在进攻端摘下篮板，转身投篮。当Joe Johnson切入禁区要上篮 时，Perkins在那里给他个火锅，然後传给Rondo-Ray的快攻得分。 And when the Hawks' wannabe intimidator, Zaza Pachulia, tried a layup, Perkins put the weak attempt to shame, swatting the ball to press row. 而当老鹰队想要威吓我们的Zaza Pachulia要尝试上篮时，Perkins让他出丑，把篮球一 把搧到记者席去。 This was all in the first quarter, one that Perkins closed out by locking down Johnson on the final possession, forcing a fadeaway 3-pointer. When that shot missed and the first buzzer sounded, Perkins raised his right fist emphatically in the air. 这全在第一节中，以Perkins在最後一个进攻机会关门锁住Johnson，逼他得采取三分线 向後跳投结束。当那球在枪响同时没进那刻，Perkins用力地向空中举起他的右拳。 "Kendrick was phenomenal," Rivers said. "I thought he set the tone defensively as much as anyone. I thought Kendrick and P.J. Brown, in the stretch he played in the second quarter, was as good as you're going to get." “Kendrick很棒。”Rivers说”我认为他像其他人一样替防守定调。我认为Kendrick和 P.J. Brown，他在第二节打的那一段，像我们希望的一样好。” After that first quarter, you aren't getting more complete than Perkins' eight points, six rebounds and two blocks. He finished by rounding off his totals with 10 points, 10 boards and five blocks, but with the position he was holding in the paint, he probably would have tallied more had he played more than a few scattered minutes in the second and fourth quarters. 第一节之後，Perkins得了8分、6篮板和两个火锅。他总共得了10分、10篮板和5火锅， 但是因为他扛住禁区的位置，如果他在第二节或第四节打更久的时间，他的数据会不只 於此。 "I thought Perk did a great job holding the post down, holding the middle down. He blocked a lot of shots today and was active," Kevin Garnett said. “我认为Perkins扛住低位的表现很棒，守住中间。他扒了一堆火锅，很有活力。”Kevin Garnett说。 It was Garnett, Perkins' front line mate and the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year, who played the role of Perk's inspiration in helping hold Hawks forwards Al Horford and Josh Smith to 15 combined points. Garnett，Perkins的前线战友和联盟年度防守球员，扮演了激励 Perkins的角色，帮助 他让老鹰队的Al Horford和Josh Smith合计只得了15分。 "I always feed off of KG," Perkins said. "Every time I look at him, [he's] so business-like. The focus he brings, the intensity he brings, it just rubs off." “我总是从KG那边获益很多。”Perkins 说”每次我看他，他是如此的专业。他带来的 专注，他带来的认真，就这样传达出来。” But for the night's unequivocal highlight, it was Garnett feeding off Perkins -- at least in hockey numbers. With the ball on the left block in the third quarter, Perkins made the pass that made amazing happen, hitting a cutting Paul Pierce in stride, who wrapped the rock around his back to an unguarded Garnett for the and-1 jam. 但是对今晚的精采镜头来说，是KG从 Perkins那边获益良多—至少从曲棍球的角度。在 第三节时，球在禁区左边，Perkins 的传球让惊异发生，球到空切的Pierce手中，他再 来个背後传球给没人防守的KG，灌篮球进小帐加一。 While Perkins' services were not required by the Celtics when they were up 30 points in the fourth, they'll definitely need his defensive presence against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the next round. It's just as well, because even after the best of games, he's anything but one to rest on his laurels. 当Celtics第四节已经领先30分，他们不再需要Perkins的服务，但是他们在下一轮对上 LeBron James和骑士队时，绝对需要他的防守。到时他还会是一样好，因为即使在表现 的最好的比赛後，他也不会固守於他的荣誉。 "We just have to let this go. We can celebrate for maybe an hour, but then let it go, and back to the scouting report," Perkins said. "Whoever is guarding LeBron, we are going to be there to help him." “我们该让这场球过去。我们可以庆祝大概一个小时，然後就忘记它，回到球探报告。 ”Perkins说”不管是谁守LeBron，我们都会在那里帮助他。” --
