Lakers History湖人简史之二 1948-49: Minneapolis Jumps to BAA 1948-49：明尼阿波里斯跳槽到美国篮球联盟 来源：http://0rz.tw/7149v Before the 1948-49 season began the Minneapolis Lakers, Rochester Royals, Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons and Indianapolis Kautskys (later renamed the Jets) jumped to the Basketball Association of America. The BAA was already an eight-team league that included franchises in such major markets as New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago. The addition of the four NBL teams now gave the league the big-name players it needed. 在1948-49球季开打之前，明尼阿波里斯湖人、罗彻斯特皇家、Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons以及Indianapolis Kautskys（随後改名为Jets）一起跳槽至美国篮球联盟BAA。 BAA原来就拥有八支球队，并且在主要的市场如纽约、波士顿、费城以及芝加哥都有球队在 那。新加入的这四支NBL球队让联盟有了他最需要的大牌球员。 The biggest name of all was Mikan, and fans flocked to see him in every BAA city. When the Lakers arrived in New York to face the Knickerbockers, the marquee at Madison Square Garden read “George Mikan vs. Knicks.” 其中最大牌的就是Mikan，他所到之处都有大批球迷想要观赏他的比赛。当湖人抵达纽约 面对Knickerbockers（即Knicks）时，麦迪逊花园的入口写着"George Mikan对抗尼克"。 Rochester and Minneapolis dueled for the top spot in the BAA’s Western Division, but the Royals edged out the Lakers by one game, even though the tall, broad-shouldered, and extremely agile Mikan played with unstoppable force. His 28.3 points per game led the league and accounted for one-third of the Lakers’ point production. 罗彻斯特以及明尼阿波里斯在BAA的西区排名再次对决，但这次皇家多赢了一场胜过了湖 人，即使那位高大、宽肩又极度灵活的Mikan完全无法被阻挡也一样。他平均每场28.3分 仍然领先全联盟，而且他一个人就占了湖人将近三分之一的得分。 Minneapolis swept the Chicago Stags in the first round of the 1949 playoffs before attention shifted to a division finals matchup that pitted the Lakers against the Royals. Minneapolis squeezed out a one-point win in Game 1, then stormed back from a 12-point third-quarter deficit to take Game 2 and sweep the best-of-three series. 明尼阿波里斯在1949年季後赛第一轮横扫了Chicago Stags，在那之後的分区决赛湖人又 对上了皇家。明尼阿波里斯第一战以一分险胜，然後第二战又从第三节落後12分的劣势中 反败为胜，之後便横扫了这个三战两胜的系列。 The BAA Finals came next, and the Lakers faced the Washington Capitols, who were coached by Arnold “Red” Auerbach. Minneapolis notched three quick wins to open the best-of-seven series. In Game 4 Mikan sustained a broken wrist, and the Capitols came away with a win. Mikan played Game 5 with a cast on his hand and still pumped in 22 points, but Washington prevailed. Game 6 was played on the Lakers’ home court, and Minneapolis came away with a 77-56 win and a BAA Championship. 接着就是BAA的总冠军赛，湖人对上的是Washington Capitols（非现今巫师），执教的是 传奇名教头Arnold "Red" Auerbach红头奥拜克。湖人很快的在这个七战制的系列中赢得三 胜，在第四战Mikan受制於手腕的伤势让Capitols拿下一胜。第五战在Mikan即使固定着手 腕还灌进了22分的情况下，湖人仍然不敌。第六场在湖人主场举行，明尼阿波里斯最终以 77-56获胜并带走了BBA的总冠军。 待续... --
