Mavericks-Lakers Preview Kobe Bryant and Dirk Nowitzki were born just two months apart in 1978, and they've both been NBA superstars for over a decade. They've won one league MVP award apiece, and Bryant has only a slight edge in career scoring averages and All-Star appearances. Kobe Bryant和Dirk Nowitzki同在1978年出生，只差了两个月，也都是 NBA近10年来的超级巨星，各拿下一座联盟MVP，Kobe只在生涯总得分与 入选明星赛次数上稍稍赢过Dirk。 Nobody would ever compare Nowitzki with Bryant in the metrics that matter most, however. In championships, in big-game performances, Dirk just isn't in Kobe's league. 然而没什麽人对他们两个在这几个面相做比较。不过在冠军戒指，大赛 表现上，Dirk还远远不急Kobe。 Yet after Nowitzki and his Dallas Mavericks thoroughly outplayed Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers down the stretch of their 96-94 comeback victory in their second-round series opener, Nowitzki's teammates think this might be the season their German 7-footer erases their mutual postseason reputation - although he'll have to damage Bryant's invincible aura to do it. 在Dirk率领的达拉斯小牛彻底的赢过了由Kobe率领的洛杉矶湖人，以 96-94逆转拿下西区第二轮的开门红之後，Dirk的队友们认为该是这 位7尺的德国长人与小牛挽回季後赛声誉的球季，但是他得先打败无 敌的Kobe。 "He always wants the ball down the stretch, and he always finds a way to get it done," said Dallas guard Jason Kidd, whose veteran defensive savvy also caused problems for Bryant. "He likes that stage. You don't find a lot of guys who like that stage. Kobe is one of them, but (Nowitzki) has done a lot of work to get there with him. He and Kobe are the two best players on the floor, and he found a way to get it done last night." Game 2 is Wednesday night at Staples Center. 小牛後卫Jason Kidd说："他总是在关键时刻要球，也总是找到得分的 方法。他喜欢这个舞台，你不会找到很多人喜欢在这样的场合。Kobe 是其中之一，但是Dirk也完成了很多任务并且赶上他。他与Kobe是场 上最强的两个人，他前一场就找到了赢球的方法。"Kidd上一战判断得 当，迫使Kobe没有接到球。 第二战比赛将於明天在Staples Center开打。 Although Bryant is widely perceived to be the NBA's best late-game scorer after a 15-year career filled with clutch play, some statistics show Dirk is a better closer than Kobe, including Nowitzki's superior shooting percentage on last-minute shots in tight games. Bryant has missed crucial shots in several buzzer-beating situations over the past few postseasons, including his miss off the back rim to end Game 1. 尽管Kobe在15年的生涯中多次投进关键一击，并且广被认为是全NBA 最後关头最好的得分手，但一些数据显示德维拉比柯维拉还强，包括 Dirk在接近战最後一分钟的命中率超高。Kobe则是在近几年的季後赛 最後一击常常失手，包括昨天他的致胜球弹框而出。 Nowitzki scored 11 points in the fourth quarter Monday night during the Mavericks' first-ever playoff win in Los Angeles, including four in the final 40 seconds. With Staples Center collectively screaming in his ear with 19.5 seconds to play, Nowitzki coolly made two free throws to give Dallas its first lead of the second half. Dirk昨天在第四节拿下11分，包括了最後40秒内的四分，让小牛得以 在季後赛首次於洛杉矶赢球。在Staples Center满场球迷尖叫呐喊干 扰他时，Dirk在最後19.5秒稳稳罚进两球，让小牛取得下半场的首度 领先。 "I've basically seen it all in this league," Nowitzki said after the Mavericks' workout at the Los Angeles Clippers' training complex. "It's my 13th year. I've got to be ready for anything. I can adjust to just about anything, and the good thing is we've got a lot of shooters on this team. We can do a lot of things." Dirk在利用洛杉矶快艇队的场地练完球之後表示："我在联盟里什麽 大风大浪都见过了，这是我的第13年了，我已经准备好所有挑战， 我几乎可以适应所有事情。好事是我们队上有很多射手。我们可以 完成很多事。" Bryant scored 21 of his 36 points in the second half, but he couldn't close out the Mavs. His bad pass was stolen by Jason Terry with 20 seconds left, and he fumbled a handoff from Pau Gasol with 4 seconds to play before missing that catch-and-shoot 3-pointer. Kobe在下半场得到全场36分当中的21分，但他无法终结小牛。他在 最後20秒的传球被Jason Terry抄掉。接着在最後4秒Pau Gasol要把 球交给他时滑倒。最後他投失了绝杀的三分球。 Nowitzki was the cooler playoff customer, while Bryant made crucial mistakes to cap the Lakers' collapse. No wonder Staples Center fans appeared more confused than angry after their team blew a 16-point lead to lose their second straight series opener. Dirk在季後赛相当冷静，而Kobe犯下关键失误导致湖人崩盘。难怪 Staples Center的球迷对於湖人花光16分的领先优势而连续两次输 掉第一战後，感觉到的是困惑而不是生气。 "I'm not clutch," Bryant deadpanned after sitting out another practice at the Lakers' training complex. Kobe没有参加团队的练球，面无表情的坐着说："我不关键。" Nowitzki and Bryant have struck up a friendship during times together at All-Star games or the Olympics, but Bryant doesn't feel a personal rivalry with Nowitzki. After all, they had never met in the playoffs before Game 1. Dirk与Kobe在明星赛和奥运期间建立了友谊，但Kobe并不把Dirk 视为对手，毕竟他们在上一战之没有在季後赛对战过。 "It's different, because it's not a personal challenge for me to try to stop him or make things difficult for him," Bryant said. "It's a little different in that regard." Kobe说："这有点不同，要试着守住他并不是我的工作，就这一点 而言不太一样。" Their career postseason scoring averages are nearly identical, around 25.5 points apiece, and they're both among the highest in NBA history. But Bryant has scored at least 30 points in 81 playoff games, more than anybody except Michael Jordan, and his steady brilliance has pushed the Lakers to seven NBA finals, including the past three. 他们两人季後赛的场均得分几乎一样，在25.5分左右，也都在NBA 历史上名列前矛。但是Kobe曾在季後赛81度得分破30，史上仅次於 Michael Jordan。而且他的成就曾经带领湖人七度杀进总冠军战， 包括最近的三年。 Nowitzki's offensive talents are unique among 7-footers, but he still hasn't led the Mavericks to the franchise's first title during a decade of playoff appearances. Dirk的进攻天份与一般的7尺长人不同，但他在最近10年多次进到 季後赛却还未曾带领小牛拿到过队史的首座总冠军。 He got close in 2006, but Nowitzki shot poorly while the Mavericks blew a 2-0 lead over the Miami Heat to lose the NBA finals. A year later, Dallas was knocked out of the first round by eighth-seeded Golden State, and Nowitzki went 2 for 13 in the Warriors' clinching victory after a horrific series effort, forcing him into the bittersweet spectacle of accepting his only NBA MVP award after the Mavericks had been eliminated. 他在2006年很接近冠军，但在小牛取得2-0领先之後Dirk的命中率 相当不理想，小牛浪费了2-0的优势并且把冠军让给迈阿密热火。 隔年小牛在第一轮被勇士KO出局，在勇士的关门战Dirk投13中2， 整个系列赛的成绩相当烂，让他在小牛被淘汰之後只能苦中作乐 的接受MVP的奖座。 Dallas had won just one round in the previous four postseasons combined, even with Nowitzki averaging more than 26 points per game over the past three years, before knocking off Portland in the first round this spring. The Trail Blazers set the stage for a typical Mavs collapse by coming back from a 23-point deficit in Game 4 to even the series - but Dallas responded with two impressive closeout wins. 在小牛今年第一轮击退拓荒者之前，小牛在过去四年只赢过一个 系列赛，尽管Dirk最近三年的季後赛平均得分破26分。拓荒者在 第四战的23分大逆转让小牛的典型剧场大崩盘重现，但小牛在之 後的两战让人印象深刻的终结系列赛。 "We're mentally tougher than we have been," Nowitzki said. "It showed after the meltdown in Portland, coming back and winning two games when everybody said we were dead. We're a lot of veteran guys who have been around a lot in this league." Dirk说："我们在心灵上比以前坚强了，在波特兰我们崩盘，但是 在大家觉得我们完蛋了之後我们连赢了两场。我们是一群有经验 的老将，在这个联盟打滚了很多年。" After Nowitzki's 28-point, 14-rebound performance in Game 1, the Lakers claimed they aren't planning a new defensive approach. Gasol, Lamar Odom and Ron Artest will share defensive duties, but Los Angeles realizes it must improve its rotation to prevent Nowitzki's teammates from spreading the floor for open shots. 在Dirk第一战缴出28分14篮板的成绩单之後，湖人宣称他们对於 防守的方法没有新的计画。Gasol、Lamar Odom和Ron Artest要担 起这项任务。但湖人知道他们的轮转防守得做的更好，才能避免 Dirk的队友散布在场上并且找到空档投篮。 The Lakers appeared thoroughly unperturbed by their third loss in seven postseason games this spring, even after blowing a 16-point lead. Unlike the Mavs, they have a large memory bank filled with postseason resilience to draw upon when things go wrong. 湖人在最近的七场季後赛输了三场，但他们完全不受影响，尽管 上一战败掉了16分的领先。不像小牛，他们在季後赛曾经多次在 季後赛反弹。 "We're playing against one of the best teams in the NBA, and there's no anticipation of being able to get up to a certain level and be able to maintain a lead," Lakers guard Derek Fisher said. "We've accepted the fact that it won't be perfect. We're going to lose games." 湖人後卫Derek Fisher说："我们在跟全NBA最好的球队之一较量， 不能期待用这样的表现还能稳住领先优势，我们接受不能保持完 美的事实，我们会输掉一些比赛。" 好啊老渔 那明天就给你们输罗~~XD 整篇都是陈腔滥调...又在提小牛的血泪史... 今年振作啊!! 就可以不用再提这些过往了 而且这一整篇都在讲Dirk跟Kobe...其他队友还有教练几乎都没提到= = 总之 明天绝对不能觉得在洛杉矶赢一场就够了 拿出全力拼吧 拿着2-0回达拉斯!!!! Let's Go Mavs!! --
