Celtics beat Hawks 99-65 to advance to second round http://0rz.tw/3b41R 总算晋级了@@ BOSTON (AP)—Kevin Garnett took a behind-the-back pass from Paul Pierce, slammed in the dunk to make the lead three dozen points and then slashed his hand across his throat to signal what the Atlanta Hawks already knew. ＫＧ在接到皮尔斯背後妙传後猛力一扣，领先的分数在此时来到３０分。ＫＧ作了一个割 喉的手势，宣判老鹰早已决定的命运 “It’s over,” he told the crowd. 「结束了，」ＫＧ告诉全场观众 The game. The series. The surprising little scare Atlanta put into the NBA’s best. 不只是这场比赛，这个系列赛，同时也是老鹰带给这只联盟最强球队的小小威胁的结束 Garnett had 18 points and 11 rebounds, Pierce scored 22 points, and the Celtics turned back the pesky Hawks with a 99-65 victory Sunday in Game 7 of their playoff series to advance to the second round. ＫＧ全场拿下１８分１１篮板，皮尔斯２２分，超塞终於在第七战以９９－６５击败难缠 的老鹰，继续挺进下一轮 Next up: LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Game 1 is Tuesday night. 接下来要面对小皇帝，第一场在米国时间星期二晚上举行 “They’re a group that’s defending Eastern Conference champs,” Garnett said. “To do anything, you’ve got to go through them. “It’s good that we have home-court advantage. I think it should be a good series.” 「他们（骑士）会尽全力试图卫冕东区冠军，」ＫＧ说，「如果要更进一步，他们是我们 必须征服的对象，在这种情况下有主场优势是件好事（看看第一轮吧．．．），我想这会 是场精采的对战」 The Celtics started the celebration early, holding the Hawks to 10 points in the second quarter and doubling their 18-point halftime lead in the third. 超塞早早就因为大幅领先而开始庆祝，他们在第二节只让老鹰拿下１０分，并且在第三节 把领先的分数从１８分翻了两翻 The fans yelled “We want Cleveland!” 观众大叫「我们要骑士！！」 The public address announcer explained how to buy tickets for the second round. 超塞的公关也开始向群众解释如何购买第二轮的票 And, in the background, the new Boston Garden shook with Gladys Knight and the Pips singing that the Hawks were “Leaving on a Midnight Train” to Georgia. 此时花园广场响起Gladys Knight and the Pips的"Leaving on a Midnight Train"，不 仅全场观众随之摇摆，同时也让要回乔治亚州的老鹰有便车可搭 “I wish we could have played all of our games in Atlanta,” said coach Mike Woodson, whose team won all three home games but never came close to stealing one in Boston. “Nobody thought we had an opportunity to even win a game in this series. We battled them right to the end. We just didn’t have it today. ” 「如果每场比赛都在家打该有多好阿～」老鹰队教练Woodson说，老鹰在家的三场全胜， 但在波士顿却连缩小比分差距都办不到，「大家都认为我们一胜都拿不到，不过我们确实 跟超塞纠缠到最後一刻，只是今天没展现出来」 Rajon Rondo, who missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer in the Game 6 loss that forced the series back to Boston, had 10 points and six assists, taking his lumps on a key play. Kendrick Perkins had 10 points and 10 rebounds before joining the rest of the starters on the bench in the formality of a fourth quarter, just like the Celtics did for much of the regular season. 朗多在错失第六战可能追平的三分後化悲愤为力量，在关键的一战交出１０分６助攻。 Perkins有１０分１０篮板的表现，并且在第四节跟其他先发一起在板凳上观战，就像超 塞在球季中大部分的比赛一样 Boston went 66-16 for the league’s best record—29 games better than the young Hawks team that earned the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The home-court advantage proved pivotal against an upstart team that fed off its own crowd but wilted on the road, losing four times by a total of 101 points. 超塞在季赛的成绩是６６－１６，比吊车尾进入季後赛的老鹰多赢了２９场。老鹰虽然在 主场打的虎虎生风，但在客场却被宰的一败涂地，四场比赛加起来总共输１０１分 “I really had no doubt in my mind how we were going to come out,” Pierce said. “You kind of saw it from the guys after Game 6 on the plane, there wasn ’t a lot of talking. We knew that we let a couple of games get away in Atlanta and I knew we were just going to take care of business.” 「我对於我们会出线这件事一点怀疑也没有，」皮尔斯说，「看这些家伙在第六战结束後 上飞机时的举止就知道了，大家没有多说什麽。我们知道我们在客场错失了几场比赛，但 我们也知道在最後我们还是会搞定这一切」 The skirmishes of the first six games boiled over with 9:09 left in the third quarter, with Boston already leading 51-28, when Rondo got the ball on a breakaway in the third quarter and had only Marvin Williams to beat. 前六场比赛中的传统在第三节剩下９：０９秒时出现了，当时超塞以５１－２８大幅领先 ，朗多在一次快攻机会中遭到M.Williams狠狠一击倒地 The Hawks forward put an arm across his chest and took Rondo to the floor, where he lay for a few minutes while Celtics coaches and teammates checked on him. The officials immediately signaled a Flagrant 2 foul and, after reviewing the play, threw Williams out of the game. 这位老鹰的前锋给了朗多一记金臂勾，後者在原地躺了几分钟才站起来，教练与几个队友 都急忙上前关切。裁判马上给了M.Williams一次恶性犯规，并且在重新看过录影带後还把 他赶出场 “I saw it on TV and it did look pretty bad, so I can’t argue that at all. I just want Rondo to know that I would never try to hurt him,” said Williams, who called Rondo a friend since high school. “He knows the type of person I am. … It was a physical series, but I have no bad blood with Rondo.” 「之後我在电视上看到了那一幕，看起来真的蛮惨的，所以我也不知道该说什麽，我只想 让朗多知道我不是有意要伤害他的，」Williams说，他和朗多从高中起就是好朋友，「朗 多知道我不是那种人．．．这是个充满肢体冲突的系列赛，但我对朗多从没有恶意」 Boston coach Doc Rivers also vouched for Williams. “Two good kids playing hard,” he said. 河流也跳出来帮Williams说了几句话，「两个好孩子玩太凶了，」他说 Woodson said it was just the latest in a series full of hard fouls, but he conceded that making the Celtics angry probably wasn’t the best approach. Woodson说这不过是这个系列战又出现一个hard foul罢了，毕竟之前几场已经出现过无数 次，不过他也认为用这种方法激怒超塞不是什麽好主意 “This series has been so hard-fought, guys’ bodies all over the floor,” the Hawks coach said. “It probably did energize them some. But I don’t think that was the difference in the ballgame. We struggled right from the start.” 「这个系列战打的粗暴无比，球员在场上倒的七零八落，」这位老鹰的教练说，「（对朗 多的犯规）让他们更加具有冲劲，但也不会对结果造成多大的影响，反正我们从一开始就 输了一屁股」 Rondo hit both free throws, the Celtics got the ball and Ray Allen, who hadn’ t made a basket since the first quarter, drained a 3-pointer to make it a 28-point game. 朗多回来後两罚都中，接着从第一节开始就没进球的雷枪砍进三分，让差距来到２８分 Then came showtime. 接下来就是表演时间 The Celtics brought out some fakes and behind-the-back passes straight out of the Harlem Globetrotters. Rondo found Garnett underneath for an emphatic dunk — and the menacing gesture that will surely earn Garnett a fine from the league office—with 3:05 left in the third. 超塞耍了几记假动作和背後传球，朗多给了篮下的ＫＧ一记妙传，ＫＧ以一记爆扣收尾， 不仅如此，ＫＧ还作了个手势－－一个绝对会被联盟罚款的手势 A minute later, he got his payback, knocking Zaza Pachulia to the floor on a backcourt pick. Rivers, who earned his first playoff series coaching victory, took Garnett out of the game; he wasn’t needed. 几分钟後，ＫＧ在後场盯人时把Zaza Pachulia撞倒在地，刚赢得个人第一个系列赛的 河流马上把他换下场，反正场上已经不需要他了 With 10:44 left in the game, Pierce and Rondo joined him on the bench. Pierce, who was fined for what the league called a “menacing gesture” in Game 3, was the only Celtics starter to play more than 30 minutes. Sub Leon Powe was the third-leading scorer, with 12 points and four rebounds in 20 minutes. 在比赛剩下１０：４４秒时皮尔斯和朗多也加入ＫＧ的行列，在第三场因为「威胁手势」 而被罚款的皮尔斯是先发球员中唯一上场超过３０分锺的。李阿炮替补上场，２０分钟得 １２分４篮板的表现让他成为超塞全队得分第三高 Notes Williams, who was sore from a knee-on-knee collision with Pierce in Game 6, started. … The Celtics are 18-5 in Game 7s, but they had not won one since beating Atlanta in the second round in 1988. Counting best-of-five and best-of-three series, Boston is 23-8 in deciding games. The Hawks franchise is 2-8 in seventh games and had not won one since 1961. They are 8-14 in decisive games overall. … Allen was 2-for-11 in the first half, missing all four 3-pointers he tried. … Atlanta scored 26 points in the first half, a record low for a Celtics opponent. Williams虽然在第六战中膝盖跟皮尔斯的膝盖来了次硬碰硬，但他还是先发上场．．．超 塞在季後赛第七战的总战绩是１８－５，但是自从在１９８８年第二轮第七战击败老鹰後 就没有再赢过任何第七战。Counting best-of-five and best-of-three series，超塞在 决定系列胜负的比赛中总战绩是２３－８，老鹰在第七战的总战绩是２－８，并且自１９ ６１後就没赢过第七场，在决定系列胜负的比赛中，他们的成绩是８－１４．．．雷枪在 上半场投１１只中２，并且在三分线上投４皆墨．．．老鹰在上半场只得２６分，创下超 塞对手的新低 -- 「…我想那些人权论者一辈子都不会碰上这种事，他们的生活安祥平静。说 穿了，他们是幸运之人。反正事不关己，他们听不到被害者的悲痛呐喊。就 像美季在遗书里所写的，被害者的泣血哀嚎完全被『守护少年』的大合唱给 掩盖住了。」 --米乐的囚犯 --
