因为看完刺激的第六战太过兴奋，心情无法完全平复，就随便找了一则外电来翻。 这一篇其实没什麽重点，不过有些用语颇有趣(老美的幽默)，所以还是翻给大家笑一笑。 不过我是第一次认真翻译新闻，水准不够之处，请多包涵。 http://tinyurl.com/dh876k (from SI) Ian Thomsen > INSIDE THE NBA With Bulls' triple-overtime win, this series almost too good to be true 公牛三度延长获胜 本系列赛超乎现实般的好看 Here are five thoughts on the latest too-good-to-be-true installment of the Celtics-Bulls series, along with a couple of other Game 6s that were rumored to be taking place Thursday. 以下是对牛塞之战超乎现实般好看的五点想法--和周四晚间其他的比赛相比 1. Applause, applause. 鼓掌、鼓掌！ A big bravo to the Chicago Bulls, who hereby are to be saluted as the NBA's version of Hickory High. In their 128-127 win (RECAP | BOX) across three overtimes of Game 6 Thursday, the character of Jimmy Chitwood was played humbly by midseason latecomer John Salmons, who went four seconds short of 60 minutes to score a team-best 35 points while carrying Chicago through key stretches of its fourth-quarter comeback as well as the first two overtimes. 在此给公牛队大声喝采，人们将把他们当成NBA版的Hickory高中对他们致敬。在周四经过 三个延长赛才获胜的第六战中，季中才来的新同学鲑鱼卑微(按:？humbly不知该怎麽翻？) 地扮演Jimmy Chitwood的角色，他只差四秒钟就打满一小时，攻下全队最高的35分，带领 公牛度过关键的第四节反攻以及前两个延长赛。 Another unlikely star was Brad Miller, who two nights earlier had been spitting blood as he missed the game-tying free throws to lose Game 5 in overtime. He had a different taste in his mouth Thursday while making all five of his free throws and 8-of-9 field goals, including the last five points of regulation on a three-pointer and a long drive for an OT-forcing layup. 另一个不太像明星的人是大米，他在两天前投丢扳平比数的两罚时还一直在吐血，也因此 在延长赛输掉第五战。周四时他有了不同的口味(按：？)，五次罚球全部命中，场上投篮 九投八中，其中包括正规赛终了前的最後五分--一记三分球和一个逼进延长赛的长距离切 入上篮。 But the biggest play of Game 6 was struck by starting center Joakim Noah, who intercepted a frontcourt pass by Paul Pierce and outdribbled him to the other end for a three-point play that fouled out Pierce and helped put down the Celtics. Noah had been performing well enough throughout the series in his role as a hyperactive defender and rebounder, but with that one steal-and-dunk sequence, the poor man's Kevin Garnett became the kind of surprising game-winner you see in the movies. 但第六战最关键的演出是由先发中锋Noah担纲，他抄到PP的前场传球并且运球超越PP到球 场的另一端完成三分打，这迫使PP犯满，也帮助公牛放倒塞队。身为一个超活跃的防守者 和篮板手，Noah在整个系列赛中已经表现得够好了，但因为这一幕抄球灌篮的镜头，穷人 的KG变成你在电影上常看到的那种制造惊奇的赢家。 2. This evolving Celtics-Bulls series transcends anything we've seen this season. 进化中的牛塞系列战超越了所有我们在本季目睹的其他事 In Philadelphia, the Orlando Magic finished off their first-round series by beating the 76ers 114-89. It's a nice win for them, but here's my question: Is anyone 20 years from now going to be talking about the night Orlando won on the road without Dwight Howard? I didn't think so. 在费城，魔术队大胜76人终结了他们的第一轮。这对他们来说是美好的胜仗，但我有个问 题：会有人在二十年後谈论魔术队这一晚不靠魔兽拿下客场胜吗？我认为不会。 Celtics-Bulls Game 6 was like a work of the theatre in its variety of themes and turns of plot. The Bulls came out playing angry to seize a 30-18 lead, but their aggression resulted in early foul trouble for several key players and a brief tussle when Kirk Hinrich was flung backward into the scorer's table while boxing out Rajon Rondo. 牛塞第六战就像是有着多种主题和转折点的电影，公牛队开场愤怒地打出30-18的领先， 但他们的侵略性打法却很快造成几个主力的犯规麻烦，以及科科和软豆卡位时被甩到记录 台的短暂扭打事件。 While the young Bulls were leaning angrily in the direction of Darth Vader, Ray Allen was behaving smooth as a Jedi. He should have been angry after fouling out away from the ball in the fourth quarter of Boston's OT victory in Game 5, but instead he channeled those destructive emotions into a spectacular 29-point first half that carried the Celtics into halftime trailing by a mere 59-57. Allen finished with a playoff-best 51 points (9-of-18 on threes) in 59 minutes, including nine dramatic points to propel Boston's 23-3 comeback run in the fourth quarter that silenced the building and threatened to finish off the Bulls once and for all. 就在年轻的牛群正愤怒地向达斯˙维德的方向倾斜时，雷枪却像个绝地武士般平顺地行动 。他应该在塞队经延长赛获胜的第五战第四节中因为没有碰球却被判第六犯就生气的，但 他没有，反而把这些毁灭性的情绪引导为第六战上半场29分的精彩表现，带着塞队在中场 仅以59-57落後。雷枪最终在59分钟内写下了自己的季後赛最高分51分(三分球18投9中)， 其中包括第四节戏剧性的9分，推动塞队打出23-3的反攻，当时曾让球馆内一度沈寂并威胁 着要最後一次终结公牛队。 The home team found itself trailing 99-91 with 3:38 remaining -- having relinquished a 12-point lead over the last seven minutes -- when Derrick Rose inspired his teammates to stop settling for jumpers by taking a pass from Salmons inside for a layup. Salmons and Miller spent the final 2:08 combining for eight points to force the first OT (with no small thanks to GM John Paxson, whose decision to trade for Miller and Salmons in February now looks worthy of consideration for Executive of the Year). 主队在剩下3分38秒时发现他们正以99-91落後--前七分钟他们拱手让出12分的领先优势-- 玫瑰在内线接到鲑鱼妙传上篮得分，激励他的队友们停止定点跳投。鲑鱼和大米在最後2分 08秒合得8分，将塞队逼近第一度延长赛(这里要大力感谢GM Paxson，他在二月做出换来米 和鱼的决定使他现在看来够资格角逐年度最佳总管)。 Every time one team looked dead, it sat up, turned on a chainsaw and chased the other guys screaming across the court. 每当有一队看来已经死掉时，它就会忽然坐起来打开电锯追逐其他在球场上尖叫的家伙。 In the first OT, Glen Davis (23 points) nailed a fallaway jumper on a bold crosscourt inbounds pass delivered with three seconds on the shot clock to give Boston a 109-107 lead. 第一度延长赛中，大宝(23分)在进攻时间剩下三秒的情况下接到横越半场的大胆发球并干 进一个後仰跳投，让塞队以109-107领先。 But Salmons finished a difficult runner with 23.5 left to force another OT. He went on to score his team's next seven points in that second OT to put Chicago ahead 116-113 with two minutes remaining until the third OT, which was forced by a pair of Allen jumpers, the first with his toe on the three-point line (with :20 remaining) and the second from safely behind the arc (:07.6) after he was freed by a rigid screen from Pierce on Salmons. 但鲑鱼在23.5秒时完成一个困难的跑投，又把塞队逼进下一个延长赛。他在二度延长赛中 继续攻下队上接下来的连续七分，让公牛在剩下两分钟时以116-113领先，不过雷枪随後以 两记跳投把公牛逼进三度延长赛--剩20秒时踩在三分线上的第一球以及剩7.6秒时绕过 Pierce强硬掩护在三分线外飙进的第二球。 Despite Noah's breakaway dunk near the end of OT No. 3, the Bulls gave Boston an opportunity to steal the night when Hinrich inexplicably missed an open layup after being left uncovered on an inbounds play. That Buckner-esque error left Boston with 16.7 seconds to execute a play capable of overcoming the Bulls' 128-127 advantage. It started promisingly with Rondo going into the lane, pivoting -- and finding himself engulfed by the shot-blocking reach of Rose, who picked up the loose ball to go to the line with 3.2 seconds left. 尽管Noah在三度延长赛的尾声突破灌篮，公牛仍给了塞队偷走胜利的机会，因为Hinrich 无法解释(按：明明就是软豆勾天顶...)地在接到发球後空档上篮放枪。这个Buckner式的 错误(按：烦请行家解释这是啥鬼)让塞队剩16.7秒时可以执行逆转战局的最後一击。一开 始在软豆杀到罚球线并转身时看来很有希望--但他随後立刻发现自己被玫瑰的火锅喂饱了 (囧)。玫瑰抓起失控球直奔前场後被犯规站上罚球线，时间剩下3.2秒。 He missed both free throws, because that's what happens in this series. Players make incredible leaning threes and ridiculous runners from out of the forested paint, but they can't for the lives of them sink the equivalent of a 3-foot putt. But Rose was spared Miller's Game 5 embarrassment when Rondo missed a Jerry West heave from inside midcourt at the buzzer. 结果他两罚不中，而这就是这个系列赛发生的事：球员们斜身投中不可思议的三分球或在 丛林般的禁区外砍进荒谬的跑投，但他们却无法适应敲进三尺推杆就能平标准杆的高尔夫 球手生活(按：是这样翻吗，不太懂)。不过玫瑰逃过了大米第五战没罚进的窘迫，因为 软豆没能像Jerry West在铃声响起时从半场投进特大号压哨球。 3. In Houston, the Rockets beat Portland 92-76 to win that series in six games. 在休士顿，火箭以92-76击败拓荒者，在六战中赢得这个系列赛。 And a fine win it was,their first series win since the days of Hakeem Olajuwon. But that outcome wasn't exactly surprising. 这是一场美好的胜利，也是火箭在老梦时代後的第一个系列赛胜利。但结局没什麽惊奇。 Here's something that was: Pierce missed jumpers at the end of regulation and the first OT that could have won the game for the Celtics. The real story there was that he was playing effectively with stitches sewn inside his nostril after receiving a sharp swipe from the fingernail of Tyrus Thomas in their skirmish for a third-quarter rebound. (按：跟PP受伤有关，懒得翻了。) In hindsight, the Game 5 performance of Ben Gordon -- who went 51 minutes and made several ridiculously difficult shots -- appears all the more amazing after watching him struggle throughout this game to overcome his strained hamstring. It finally appeared to get the best of him as he forced and missed an impossible fallaway jumper over Pierce that could have won the game at the end of regulation. Gordon fouled out with 11:54 still to play in the overtimes. That they were able to win without his clutch shotmaking is another reason for the Bulls to be confident entering Game 7 in Boston. (按：跟Gordon受伤有关，也懒得翻了。) 4. Looking ahead to Friday's lone playoff game, the Hawks will be trying to close out their series with a Game 6 win at Miami. 往前看看周五唯一的季後赛，老鹰队将试着在迈阿密拿下第六战来结束这个系列战。 And hasn't that been one ugly matchup? 这难道还不算是一组丑陋的对战组合吗？ On the other hand, the Celtics-Bulls has turned into the NBA's answer to the NCAA tournament -- an endless run of extended, exhausting and unpredictable finishes in which the underdog always lives to play another day. 另一方面，牛塞之战已经变成NBA和NCAA锦标赛对抗的解答了。--一种充满持久、耗力及 不可预测的结果之无止境轮回，在这当中，不被看好的队伍总是能活到下一天。 5. So now we prepare to say farewell Saturday night to a first-round event that is unique in NBA history, the only series to ever send four games into overtime(s). 所以现在我们准备要在周六晚上和NBA史上独一无二的第一轮系列战说再见了，这是唯一 一个曾有四场比赛打进延长赛的系列战。 Under normal circumstances I would naturally predict the reigning champs to win a Game 7 on their home floor against an inexperienced seventh-seed. But I've seen this story before in the movies. Gene Hackman was the coach, and he fell in love with Barbara Hershey. Better stop there before I give away the ending. 在正常情况下我会很自然地预测卫冕军将在主场击败没经验的第七种子拿下第七战。但我 曾在电影中看过这个故事。金哈克曼是那个教头，他和Barbara Hershey陷入热恋。我最好 在把结局讲出来前停住。 P.S: 1.查了一下，最後一段说的电影应该就是有名的「火爆教头草地兵」(Hoosiers)，也是第 一段Hickory高中的出处。这部片我是听过没看过，麻烦请看过的观众透露些剧情好吗？ 2.看得出来作者应该很爱看电影，不过我想说的是，牛塞大战这个系列打得如此惊心动魄 ，这麽曲折离奇又紧张刺激的比赛过程，恐怕是地球上任何编剧、小说家和漫画家再过 两百年也掰不出来的。 --
