Securing that advantage is certainly the goal for Boston's coaching staff and players. 季後赛第一轮很可能是这两只球队的对决 因此保有主场优势是非常重要的 "We'll do everything we can to control that and it starts with a win tomorrow, " said Isaiah Thomas after swishing a few warm-up shots ahead of practice. "Ho pefully we can get fourth place and have home court in the first round because it will definitely help us." 「我们会竭尽所能赢下来」矮笑汤说 「能挤到第四名然後保有主场优势很重要」 Added teammate Jae Crowder, "It's important because we worked so hard. We put a great year together to put ourselves in position to write our own script, so we just want to finish the right way." Jae说 这是我们努力了一整年所赢得的 我们只是需要按照原订计划实行即可 At the moment, the race between the third and sixth seeds is tremendously clos e. Atlanta is currently holding onto third place with a 48-33 record, Miami is right behind the Hawks at 47-33, and Boston and Charlotte hold identical 47-3 4 records. 此刻 东区第三与第六排名很接近 老鹰队48-33 热火队47-33 青赛跟黄蜂都是47-34 The highest Playoff seed the Celtics can obtain is No. 4, and depending on Eas tern Conference results over the next couple of days, they could potentially d rop down to No. 6. 青赛最高能拿到的顺位是第四 最差的话是掉到第六 Though just one game remains for the C's, there are six different scenarios th at can determine their seeding. Brad Stevens was handed a layout of those poss ibilities before practice, and that sheet certainly raised an eyebrow in confu sion as he scanned over them. 就算只剩下一场比赛 但竞争激烈可见一般 BS甚至在谈到预测排名时皱起眉头 "Somebody just put on my desk all the scenarios and I said, 'Do you mind throw ing that away?'" Stevens recounted with a slight smile. "It's a headache to ev en try to figure out." 「可以把这东西（排名预测）拿走吗？」BS说 「要搞懂这东西让我的头很痛啊啊啊」 Here's the list of the Playoff scenarios that is likely lying at the bottom of Stevens' waste bin: 以下的排名猜测是从BS垃圾桶底部捡起来的 Celtics earn the No. 4 seed if: Celtics beat Heat and Heat lose to Pistons ton ight Celtics beat Heat and Hornets beat Magic Celtics beat Heat and Hawks beat Wizards Celtics earn the No. 5 seed if: Celtics beat Heat, Heat beat Pistons, Hawks lose to Wizards and Hornets lose to Magic Celtics lose to Heat and Horn ets lose to Magic Celtics earn the No. 6 seed if: Celtics lose to Heat and Hor nets beat Magic 青赛赢热火 热火输活塞 青赛赢热火 黄蜂赢魔术 青赛赢热火 老鹰赢巫师 则青赛第四 青赛赢热火 热火赢活塞 老鹰输巫师 黄蜂输魔术 则青赛第五 青赛输热火 黄蜂赢魔术 则青赛第六 （靠腰我头也开始痛了） Considering the mindset of this Celtics team, perhaps it's fitting that the ab ove list has been mentally trashed as the C's head into their final contest. 全队上下一心准备背水一战 This is a squad that plays one game at a time and one possession at a time, wi th the mentality that it should only focus on what it can control. 这群人一次只打一场比赛 专注一场比赛 把握所有自己可以控制的因素 "I'm not going to concern myself with things I can't control," explained Steve ns. "I think no matter what in the Playoffs you can't be a dud on the road and expect to win a Playoff series. And you can't be good but inconsistent at hom e and expect to win a Playoff series. You just have to play well in the games that you have." 「我不会担心我无法控制的事情」BS说 「我不觉得客场不夺胜有办法晋级、 就算主场一条龙，能够全胜也一样， 每一场比赛都必须全力应付才行。」 Boston has not done so in its last two games, falling at the hands of Atlanta Saturday night and Charlotte Monday night. Those losses may fuel the C's as th ey take the parquet floor one more time to close out the regular season. After that, they will embrace any opponent at any location during the first round o f the postseason. 不过过去两场我们只说不做 分别输给老鹰跟黄蜂 让最後的排名充满刺激 "Our team, as bitter a taste as we may feel from last night, has put ourselves in a great position all year with their play," said Stevens. "These guys have really done a lot of good things and we look forward to playing whoever we pl ay, wherever we play when that time comes." 「输球令人北宋，但大家已经努力了快一年」 「让我们一起准备好面对接下来的比赛」 Obtaining home court advantage certainly is a goal of Boston's, as Thomas and Crowder previously explained. At the same time, they agree that it's not a com plete necessity to experience postseason success. 拿到主场优势是青赛的目标 同时也是矮笑汤跟Jae的目标 他们同时认为若拿下主场优势 对季後赛而言会是个很棒的开始与体验 "At the end of the day, you still have to go and win games on someone else's c ourt," said Crowder. "That's what the postseason is all about. Of course we wa nt to start the postseason off at home, but it's not the end of the world if w e don't. We'll go handle our business and try to put together a good series an d try to take care of business that way." 「最後一场比赛还是要尽力去赢下来， 这就是季赛的意思（争取排名） 我们当然想要在主场打第一战， 但若没有也不会世界末日，反正我们习惯了 如何状况之下我们都会想办法拿下系列战的胜利。」 Jae说 First, Boston must handle one final regular-season task, one that will likely determine its postseason fate in regard to its first-round opponent and Game 1 location. 首先 青赛本季赛的最後一个挑战 就是打赢也许是季後赛第一轮的对手喔。 --
