Spears Globe Staff / June 6, 2008 原文: http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/articles/2008/06/06/ comeback_kids/?page=1 Lakers coach Phil Jackson basically described Game 1 of the NBA Finals as "the tale of two halves." Luckily for the defensive-minded Celtics, the better half for them was the latter one. 湖人的总教练 Phil Jackson 用"二个半场的传说"来描述NBA总冠军赛的第一场. 对积极防守的塞尔蒂克来说, 幸运地, 他们下半场表现的比较好. In their first Finals game since 1987, the Celtics used a smothering defense in the second half to defeat the Lakers, 98-88, in Game 1 at TD Banknorth Garden. 自从1987年後, 湖人和塞尔蒂克的第一次总冠军系列赛, 塞尔蒂克在下半场利用密 不透风的防守击败了湖人, 在 TD Banknorth Garden 以 98-88 在系列赛的第一场 拿下胜利. Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is Sunday night. 这系列赛的第二场比赛将在美国时间星期天晚上开打 The storied Celtics-Lakers rivalry marked matchup No. 11 in the Finals. 历史上有名的湖人和塞尔蒂克的对决第11次在总冠军系列赛上演. "Well, it was only in the second half," said Celtics coach Doc Rivers, about his team's defensive play. "We didn't play any in the first half. We didn't get back in the first half. We gambled in the first half. We gave them uncontested shots in the first half. In the second half, we did our jobs." 关於他们的团队防守, "只有在下半场有做到," "我们上半场打不出来, 我们在上半 场没有回神过来, 我们给了对手过多的空档投篮, 而这些, 我们在下半场都做到了" 塞尔蒂克的总教练 Doc Rivers 说道. The Lakers had averaged a playoff-best 105.9 points while league MVP Kobe Bryant averaged a playoff-best 31.9 points. The Celtics, however, had allowed only 87.3 points, the best in the postseason. 湖人有着季後赛最高分, 105.9分的平均得分, 季赛MVP Kobe Bryant 有着季後赛最高分, 31.9分的平均得分, 然而, 塞尔蒂克却平均只让对手拿87.3分, 是季後赛最好的. But last night the Lakers shot 41.6 percent from the field (32 of 77) and were held to close to 18 points below their scoring average. The Lakers missed 11 of 14 3-point attempts, had only 2 fast-break points and 4 second-chance points. The Celtics outrebounded the Lakers, 46-33, and limited the visitors to 33.3 percent shooting from the field and 1 of 9 on threes in the second half. 但是昨天晚上湖人整场只有41.6%的命中率(77投32中), 而且比他们的平均得分少了 将近18分. 湖人的三分14投3中, 而且靠快攻只拿下2分, 和第二波进攻拿下4分, 塞尔蒂克和湖人悬殊的篮板个数, 46-33, 而且让下半场的湖人只有33.3%的命中率, 3分线外的9次出手只有1次命中. Bryant missed 17 of 26 shots, made all six free throw attempts, and scored 24 points. In the fourth quarter, he was held to 4 points on 1-of-6 shooting and two free throws, and had zero rebounds. Bryant 在26次出手当中失手了17次, 加上6次罚球都命中, 得到了24分. 在第4节, 6次的出手只命中1球, 和2次罚球, 他只得到了4分, 没抓下任何篮板. "I had some great looks, they just didn't stay down," Bryant said. "我有几球出手感觉视野不错, 只是没有进而已." Bryant 说道.

Kevin Garnett 得到24分和抓下13个篮板. 在经历过扭伤右膝後在第三节又回来的 Paul Pierce 得到了22分, 其中有3颗3分球. The Lakers held a 51-46 halftime lead after shooting 50 percent from the field and making 11 of 14 free throws. The Celtics shot 45 percent and missed 8 of 9 3-point attempts in the first half.

The Lakers had only 2 second-chance points in the first half.

"We had some control in the first half, played the kind of game we wanted to play," Jackson said. "我们在上半场控制的不错, 打了一场我们想要打的比赛." Jackson 说道. With 11:15 left in the third quarter, Pierce was fouled by Vladimir Radmanovic before nailing a 3-pointer. He nailed the free throw to give Boston a 54-53 lead. After Bryant's jumper with 6:52 left in the third gave the Lakers a 62-58 lead, Kendrick Perkins ran into Pierce while trying to block the shot. Pierce appeared to injure his right knee. 在弟三节还剩下11分15秒的时候, Pierce 在三分线外做了 Vladimir Radmanovic 一次出手进算的犯规, 并且把加罚罚进, 此时 Boston 54-53领先. 之後 Bryant 在弟三节还剩下6分52秒的时候跳投得手, 此时湖人62-58领先, 此时 Kendrick Perkins 向 Pierce 冲去试图封阻这次地投篮, 却让 Pierce 伤到了 右脚膝盖. He was motionless on the floor and screamed in pain as trainer Ed Lacerte and team doctor Brian McKeon attended to him. Teammates Brian Scalabrine and Tony Allen carried Pierce to a wheelchair that transported him to the locker room. "I thought that was it," Pierce said. "A lot of things [were] going through my mind. I thought I tore something. Once I heard the pop, and I couldn't move it at first, I thought that was it." 他在地板上静止不动而且大叫, 此时训练员 Ed Lacerte 和队医 Brian McKeon 过来看 他的情况. 他的队友 Brian Scalabrine 和 Tony Allen 把 Pierce 抬起来放到轮椅上, 并且把他推到更衣室. "很多事情闪过我的脑海, 我觉得我弄断了什麽, 当我听到 砰 的一声, 一开始我不能移动." Pierce 说道. With about 6:15 left in the third, Perkins injured his left ankle and went to the locker room shortly after. 在第三节还大概剩下6分15秒的时候, Perkins 扭伤了他的左脚踝, 而且稍後也进入了 更衣室. But the crowd went wild as Pierce returned with a brace on his right knee. He reentered the game with the Celtics leading, 63-62, with 5:04 left. Perkins returned to the bench with 3:40 remaining and the Celtics ahead, 68-67. 但在人群的热情之下右脚绑着护膝的 Pierce 回来了. 他在第三节还有5分04秒, 塞尔蒂克 63-62领先的情况下回到比赛. 而 Perkins 在第三节还有3分40秒的, 塞尔蒂克 68-67领先的情况下回到板凳区. "I thought [Pierce] moved well," Rivers said. "I was watching him, and if he didn't move well I was going to take him out, and we have until Sunday to get him right, and that was my thinking. But then he moved OK, so it was no big deal." "我想 Pierce 应该可以跟上比赛节奏" Rivers 说道. "我会看着他, 假如他不能跟上, 我会把他换下来, 而且我们会在星期日之前确保他没事. 但这只是我的想法, 但他看起来还好, 所以应该不是什麽大事情." Two straight Pierce 3-pointers gave the Celtics a 75-71 lead with 1:04 remaining in the third. Pierce went back to the locker room with 38.6 seconds left. 在弟三节还剩下1分04秒的时候, Pierce 的2个三分球让塞尔蒂克取得75-71的领先. 在还剩下38.6秒的时候, Pierce 回到了更衣室. "Pierce was back on the floor in three minutes, so he wasn't that long out of the game," Jackson said. "He came back and hit two threes. I think that was a big momentum change in the game." "Pierce 只花了3分钟就再度回到场上, 所以他并没有离开比赛太久." Jackson 说道. "他一回来就投进2个3分, 我想这是这一场比赛一个非常大气势转换的时候." Pierce returned to the bench with 10:07 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Celtics up, 81-77. With Pierce on the bench, James Posey nailed a wide-open 3-pointer with 8:44 remaining to give the Celtics an 86-78 advantage.

Pierce nailed two free throws with 3:34 left to give Boston a 90-82 lead, but Lamar Odom's 3-point play sliced LA's deficit to 5 with 2:57 remaining. After a missed jumper by Posey, Garnett dunked over Gasol with two hands to bump the lead to 94-86 with 1:32 left. 在还有3分34秒的时候, Pierce 罚进2球, 让塞尔蒂克有着90-82的领先. 但是在还有2分57秒得时候, Lamar Odom 的一个3分打让比数差距缩小到5分. 後来在还有1分32秒的时候, Garnett 抓到了 Posey 跳投没中的篮板球, 并且在 Gasol 头上双手灌进, 把比数改写为94-86. Bryant made two free throws with 1:21 left to make it 94-88, but Garnett did the same with 1:01 remaining. After the Lakers missed two straight 3-pointers, Ray Allen (5-of-13 shooting, 19 points) was fouled and nailed two free throws with 16.6 seconds left to give Boston a comfortable 10-point lead. 在还有1分21秒的时候, Bryant 罚进2球, 把比数改为94-88, 但是 Garnett 也在还有 1分01秒的时候罚进2球. 在湖人连续2次3分线外出手不进的时候, Ray Allen (得到19分 , 投13中5) 被犯规且罚进2球, 让塞尔蒂克有着10分的领先, 此时时间只剩下16秒. "They finished the game strong and they rebounded the ball better than we did tonight, and we'll have to do a better job there," Jackson said "他们打了一场强大的比赛, 而且篮板球掌握的比我们好, 但接下来我会在这里做的 更好" Jackson 说道. --
