Lakers-Mavericks Preview So this is how it could end for Phil Jackson, the guy who turned Michael Jordan into a champion, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal into champions, and Bryant into a winner without O'Neal. With a sweep. 传奇的教练Phil Jackson，将Michael Jordan带成冠军常客，把Kobe Bryant与Shauille O'Neal组成的欧布连线推向颠峰，在O'Neal离开之 後也Kobe带领湖人连连拿下冠军。一切都已经走向终点了，而且可能 以遭到横扫告终。 To the Dallas Mavericks, no less, a team with a postseason reputation that is, well, pretty much the opposite of what folks associate with Jackson, Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. 试图将他们扫地出们的正是达拉斯小牛，他们过去在季後赛的表现跟 禅师、Kobe还有湖人可以说是大相迳庭。 The two-time defending champions trail Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavs 3-0 going into Game 4 of their second-round series on Sunday. Dallas hasn't dominated the series, but has been the better team in every fourth quarter, wiping out deficits in Games 1 and 3. 二连霸的湖人目前在第二轮以0-3落後给Dirk Nowitzki与其所率领的 小牛队。小牛并不是完全整控了系列赛，但每场比赛的第四节他们的 表现都优於对手，在第一战与第三战都逆转成功。 Bryant considers the final minutes his time to shine, yet he hasn't done it this series, missing a potential winner in the opener and missing 4 of 6 down the stretch on Friday night. Pau Gasol has been so bad the entire postseason that Jackson finally snapped during the last game, uncharacteristically berating his big man on the sideline. Kobe宣称最後关头是他的舞台，只是他在这个系列赛还没发挥。开幕 战他在读秒阶段的致胜球失手，第三战的最後六投有四头不进。Pau Gasol整个季後赛打的实在太差，以致於禅师终於在暂停的时候不若 以往的斥责了他。 There's no reason to hold back now, not with time running out on Jackson's career and on Los Angeles' reign. At this point, it seems more like a question of when, not if, as all 98 NBA teams to go down 0-3 have eventually been eliminated; 59 were swept. 不能再犹豫了，禅师的生涯还有湖人的卫冕光环正随着时间流逝， 现在看起来没有任何转圜的余地了，只是时间的问题而已。所有98 支被逼到0-3落後的球队全数遭到淘汰，59支队伍遭到横扫。 "I told them not to think about that," Jackson said Saturday. "You're thinking about winning tomorrow's game, forcing another game in L.A. on Tuesday." His five kids, however, aren't taking any chances. 禅师说："我告诉他们不要想这个，你只能想着赢下明天的比赛， 把战线拉回洛杉矶。"他的五个孩子却不想有任何闪失。 "They think they have to hustle in just in case this is the last game that I coach," Jackson said. "That's a drag that I don't need to have happen, but they're coming anyway because they're insisting upon it." 禅师说："以防万一，他们还是赶来了，来看可能是我执教的最後 一战。我不希望这会发生，但他们坚持所以还是来了。" Jackson is too into the Zen approach of living in the moment to be distracted by sentiment, or to think about how humiliating a sweep might be. Then again, he wouldn't know. The winner of an unprecedented 11 titles, he's lost only nine series in his previous 20 postseasons. He's never even been down 0-3. Jackson的生活真的太有禅意了，以至於他不被感情所分心，或者 是去想被横扫会有这麽丢脸，毕竟他也不知道。他过去赢过11座总 冠军，而在他所带领的20个球季当中，他只有输过9个系列赛，甚 至从来没有处於0-3落後过。 Bryant has been swept from the playoffs twice in his career, but it hasn't happened since 1999, the year before Jackson took over. Bryant enthusiastically said after Game 3 that he believed his team was tough enough to still win the series. Kobe在季後赛被扫过两次，但是在1999年以後就没有过了，在那之 後禅师就接掌了兵符。Kobe在第三战之後热情的说他相信他的球队 够强，能够赢得系列赛。 At the start of practice Saturday, he already had his game face on. He said Jackson's possible farewell and the chance of being swept are not on his mind, and that teammates "don't have a choice" but to believe they can still win the series. He said the Mavericks aren't doing anything to stop him, he's "just not getting (the ball) where I should be." 在昨天练习开始的时候，他已经进入比赛模式了。他说禅师可能要 退休了或是可能要被横扫了都不重要了，队友们也没有选择，只能 相信他们仍然能够拿下系列赛。他说小牛的防守根本挡不住他，他 只是没有在该拿球的时候接到球。 Bryant also said Gasol is playing OK, just "not playing at the high level that we're accustomed to seeing him playing." The numbers bear it out. Gasol's average of 13.4 points is easily the worst of his playoff career and his 7.8 rebounds are the worst of his four postseasons with the Lakers. Kobe也说Gasol打的还OK，只是没有像大家期待的打的那麽好。数 字会说话，Gasol平均只拿到13.4分，是生涯季後赛最低纪录，平 均抓下7.8个篮板也是来到湖人四个季後赛的最差成绩。 Jackson said Gasol is getting shoved out of the paint by a knee-to-the-rear tactic that's supposed to be against the rules. He said the Hornets got away with it in the first round, so the Mavs have done it, too. 禅师说Gasol被对方的膝盖一直顶，这应该是犯规的。他说黄蜂一 直这样用都没事，所以小牛也这样打。 But there's more to Gasol's struggles. He's missing shots he normally makes and is taking some bad ones. Nowitzki has outplayed him on both ends of the court -- again. The German is 7-0 against the Spaniard in postseason matchups. 但Gasol还是打的很挣扎，他平常该进的球都投不进，还有一些糟 糕的出手选择。Dirk在攻守两端都优於Gasol，两人在季後赛的对 垒Dirk取得七战全胜的成绩。 During a timeout following a Nowitzki 3-pointer on Friday night, Jackson smacked Gasol in the chest and got in his face. Jackson said he does it about once a year, and Gasol said "it wasn't shocking to me or anything." "I just wanted to see what point he was trying to make," Gasol said. 上一战在Dirk砍进三分球之後湖人叫了暂停，禅师在Gasol的胸口 上捶了一下，并且面对面的向他喊话。禅师说他每年大概要这样 做一次，而Gasol说这对他或是任何事来讲并不震惊。他说："我 只是在想他什麽时候要这样做。" The Lakers will have small forward Ron Artest back in the lineup for Game 4. He was suspended from the last game, which meant a new rotation and added minutes for Gasol and fill-in starter Lamar Odom. Jackson said he wants to try giving all of his key players more rest early in the game so they will be fresher at the end. 湖人在第四战将有Ron Artest回归，他前一场被禁赛，这让Gasol 有了更多的出赛时间，也让Lamar Odom担纲先发。禅师说他希望 让关键球员一开始能够多休息一些，这样到最後才有充分的体力。 As for the Mavericks, they have all sorts of incentive to close out the series Sunday. 对小牛来说，他们有各种动机想要在下一战终结系列赛。 Avoiding a return trip to Los Angeles would mean more rest for Nowitzki, 38-year-old Jason Kidd and the rest of the 30-something guys who make up most of Dallas' rotation. It also would remove any talk of a collapse. 如果不用在搭飞机到洛杉矶一次，Dirk、38岁的Jason Kidd还有 大部分30多岁的球员们都可以得到更多休息。当然也不会被别人 说他们要崩溃了。 If any team could claw back from 0-3, Jackson, Bryant and the three-peat-seeking Lakers might fit the prototype. And the Mavericks have a history of finding ways to lose in the playoffs. 如果说哪支球队最有可能从0-3逆转，禅师带领的Kobe还有寻求三 连霸的湖人可能是最佳人选。还有小牛的季後赛更是各种输法层 出不穷。 Dallas blew a 2-0 lead in the 2006 NBA finals, and came as close as anyone to blowing a 3-0 lead, needing seven games to get past Portland in 2003. Earlier this postseason, the Mavs let a 23-point lead slip away over the final 14 minutes against those same Trail Blazers. 小牛在2006年总冠军战2-0领先被逆转，又是史上3-0领先之後最 接近被翻盘的球队，在2003年的第一轮打到第七战才赶跑波特兰 拓荒者。而在前一轮，小牛又在最後14分钟花光23分的领先优势 败给了拓荒者。 They haven't lost since, winning five straight. They've played tight defense (blowing apart another of their stereotypes), Nowitzki has been terrific and he's had a different teammate or two step up each game. On Friday night, it was Jason Terry and Peja Stojakovic. 不过他们自此之後没再输过了，也拿下了五连胜。他们打出坚强 的防守，不让剧场上演。Dirk的表现杰出，他的不同队友也适时 的在每场比赛中跳出来支援。第三战是Jason Terry还有Peja Stojakovic。 "We've got to stay on task and be resourceful and opportunistic," Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said. 小牛教练Rick Carlisle说："我们得保持专注，拿出强大的团队 战力，并且把握机会。" 又是一篇翻了上火的preview 小牛的部份好少 又提起往事 明天绝对要把握住啊!! 3点半虽然很早 但还是一起来帮小牛加油吧!! 现在还看到文章的版友最好赶快去睡罗 大家待会见~~ Let's Go Mavs!! --
