Mavericks' rallies reign supreme 小牛队：不屈之师。 Since Portland meltdown, Dallas has established itself as double-digit comeback king 自那次被波特兰拓荒者队逆转之後，达拉斯小牛俨然蜕变成一支双位数差距的逆转之师。 原文网址：http://0rz.tw/IgYDu DALLAS -- Sorry, Jason Terry. We shouldn't have snickered after you sat there and defiantly told us about these Dallas Mavericks being so mentally tough. 抱歉了，Jason Terry。我们不应该小牛在派你上场後在旁边偷笑， 因为你真的用行动告诉了我们现在小牛队的心理素质有多强硬。 It seemed ridiculous at the time, as the Mavs sat in the visitors locker room of the Rose Garden and stewed over another maddening playoff meltdown. A 23-point lead went poof in Portland that night, which certainly seemed to be concrete proof that these were the same ol' Mavs, not championship contenders. Heck, the rally led by Brandon Roy marked only the second time in a decade that a team had come back to win a playoff game after trailing by at least 15 points in the fourth quarter. 这在之前看起来是很荒谬的，那时小牛队还在the Rose Garden客场更衣室中， 他们还在细细咀嚼另一场令人火光的溃败。 在那天晚上的波特兰，他们23分的分数差距成了泡影， 似乎给大家一个斩钉截铁的证据：这只小牛就如同往年高成低就，冲击不了总冠军。 棍，在这十年中，第四节落後十五分以上能追得回来的球队也不过就这麽两次， 而Brandon Roy却带领拓荒者演出了这十年难得一见的的逆转，名列其中。 Fast forward a few rounds. That list of late, long-shot postseason comebacks over the past 10 years has doubled. And Dallas was on the right side of both of those rallies, roaring back from 15 down on the road to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat in a four-game span. 结果等打完几个系列战，也就是我们这个清单的最後， 我们这个10年大幅度逆转清单的场数居然变成双倍了。 而小牛队都是那逆转得胜利的一方，在七战四胜制的比赛中， 他们分别从奥克荷拉马雷霆和迈阿密热火的手上，各逆转了15分的差距一次。 "We don't want to get in these situations," said Terry, whose eight-point flurry sparked the Mavs' game-ending, Finals-tying 22-5 run in Thursday night's Game 2. "But if this situation does present itself, we're a veteran team. And we pride ourselves on being calm, being even-keeled. "我们其实不想身处在那样的窘境当中。" Terry说， 他在小牛逆转的赛末溢注了八分，帮助小牛队在周四晚上的 Game2 打出22-5的攻势。 "但是当这种困境出现在我们的面前，我们是一只有经验的队伍， 值得骄傲的是我们会维持冷静，挺直腰杆面对挑战。" "If there's time on that clock, there's still time for us." "只要比赛的时间还没有跑完，那对我们来说就还有机会。" The Mavs still have a lot of work to do -- and a few more games to win -- to earn the franchise's first championship. But they've already earned the crown as the NBA's undisputed playoff comeback kings. 这只小牛还有很多的事情要做 - 还得赢下好几场比赛 - 去争取他们第一座的冠军。 但是他们已经赢得了观众们的认同：这支队伍毫无争议是NBA季後赛的逆转之王。 Dallas has as many comebacks after digging double-digit holes as it does losses during this postseason. Those Mavs comebacks have gotten progressively more difficult and meaningful. 在今年的季後赛中，小牛队有很多把落後双位数差距的大洞填回来的比赛， 这些逆转秀，难度可说是越来越高，也越来越有象徵意义。 ‧ It started during the Mavs' return trip to the Rose Garden. They came out ice cold and trailed by 12 early in the second quarter but recovered to finish off the first-round series with a 103-96 win over the Trail Blazers. ‧ 一切都从小牛队在Rose Garden的大逆转开始，他们的手感冷到结冻， 并且打完上半场以12分落後，但是他们最後以103-96的分数逆转成功， 结束掉这轮系列赛，淘汰了波特兰拓荒者队。 The comeback was a mere footnote that night. The fact that the Mavs survived the first round for only the second time since their 2006 Finals run hogged the headlines. That game also reversed the trend of road playoff misery for the Mavs, who had lost 18 of their previous 20 postseason games away from the American Airlines Center. 这次逆转还有一个附注事项： 事实上这是小牛队自从06年欲图达阵失利後第二次突破第一轮。 这似乎也反转了小牛过去在季後赛客场作战的整体趋势： 其实当他们离开主场American Airlines Center後， 在过去20场的季後赛客场，达拉斯小牛输了18次。 ‧ The Mavs set the tone for their stunning sweep of the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers by fighting out of a 16-point hole to steal Game 1. ‧ 小牛队奠定系列赛基调：四场横扫两届卫冕冠军洛杉矶湖人队。 他们在第一场比赛中填回了16分落後的大洞，然後将 Game1 的胜利带走。 Things looked bleak for the Mavs after a series of mental and physical errors at the end of the first half and beginning of the second half. That changed as soon as 10th man Corey Brewer got off the bench, sparking a 17-4 run to get the Mavs right back in the game. 在上半场的尾声及下半场初他们出现一些心理漏洞和实际错误後，战情对小牛相当严峻。 这在板凳末端的Corey Brewer披挂上阵之後立刻改观，他们用17-4的攻势还击， 小牛队再度进入拿下这场比赛射程距离。 A couple of future Hall of Famers carried the load as the Mavs outplayed the Lakers in the fourth quarter. Dirk Nowitzki had 11 points in the final frame. Down the stretch, Jason Kidd shut down Kobe Bryant, who has a reputation as the game's best closer (although a certain German has made a strong case this postseason). Five Kobe possessions in the final 3:22 resulted in one bucket, two missed shots and two turnovers. 两名未来的名人堂球员接手并且连手在第四节击溃湖人。 Dirk Nowitzki在最後一节独得11分，而在另一端，Jason Kidd封死Kobe Bryant， 那位被誉做关键时刻最好的球员（不过看来今年季後赛中这个头衔应该属於某德国佬） Kobe在最後3分22秒的五次进攻中，他只进了一球，两球没进，两球失误收场。 ‧ Kevin Durant's imaginary championship belt was on, and so it seemed was the Red River rivalry, after the Oklahoma City superstar's 3-pointer gave the Thunder a 15-point lead with 5:05 remaining in Game 4. The West finals were all but certain to be tied as the series headed back south on Interstate 35. ‧ Kevin Durant缠上他想像中的冠军腰带，这看起来就像是Red River rivalry一样， 在这位奥克拉荷马的超级球星投进三分球後，雷霆在 Game4 剩下5分05秒时领先15分。 西区冠军赛系列看似要被追平，而他们只好带着2-2接上35号洲际公路回家。 （注：Red River rivalry是德州大学和俄克拉荷马大学一年一度的橄榄球对抗赛） Dirk and the Dallas defense didn't let that happen. 不过Dirk和小牛队的防守没有让这一切发生。 Nowitzki scored a dozen points during the Mavs' 17-2 run over the final five minutes, forcing overtime. Kidd knocked down the game-winning 3 in the final minute of OT, essentially punching the Mavs' ticket to the Finals. 最後五分钟里Nowitzki得到了12分，在这期间小牛打出17-2的攻势，将比赛逼进延长赛。 Kidd最後在OT剩余的时间射进了致胜的三分球，让小牛基本上获得了冠军赛的门票。 ‧ There was a sense of deja vu on the Dallas bench when Dwyane Wade drilled a 3 with 7:13 remaining to put the Heat up 15 in Game 2 of the Finals, then posed and preened -- something several Mavs considered premature celebration. ‧ 小牛板凳感觉到有点似曾相识，Dwyane Wade飙进了三分球， 比赛还剩下7分13秒，这一球让热火队在总冠军赛的 Game2以15分领先， 然後摆出了姿势并开始舞动 - 做出一些小牛会"误认"为提早庆祝的举止。 "Hang around. Keep believing," coach Rick Carlisle said in the huddle, reminding the Mavs that they rallied from 15 down in OKC -- and pointing out that they had two more minutes to work with in this case. "撑住，并且持续相信。" 教练Rick Carlisle在大夥聚集的时候这样说， 让他们记得那场你们逆转了雷霆15分的比赛 - 并且表示这次甚至还比上次多两分钟勒。 The Mavs roared back with a 22-5 run to finish the game and tie the Finals. 然後小牛队打出22-5的攻势结束这场比赛，将总冠军战的胜场扳平。 Considering the competition and stakes, this ranks as the Mavs' most impressive comeback by far. The Mavs scored on 10 of their final 11 possessions against a Miami defense that had been absolutely dominant throughout the playoffs, particularly in clutch situations. 考虑到这场比赛的竞争度和赌注， 这场比赛应该是小牛目前为止最令人印象深刻的一场逆转。 小牛队在热火队的防守下最後11次的进攻成功了10次， 而热火队的防守在今年季後赛中影响极大，特别是在关键时刻更是如此。 Wade went scoreless after that 3. LeBron James scored only two points on a pair of free throws down the stretch. Wade在那次三分过後一分未得，而LeBron James在之後也只用犯规後的罚球拿到2分。 Once again, Nowitzki stood taller than everybody else when it mattered most, scoring the Mavs' last nine points over the final 2:44. His lefty finger roll off the dribble -- never mind the torn tendon in the middle finger -- with 3.6 seconds remaining provided the winning points. 又一次的，Nowitzki在最重要的时刻挺身而出， 在最後的2分44秒包办了小牛队最後的九分。 他在运球切入後用他的左手上篮 - 完全不在意他左手中指的肌腱撕裂 - 只留下3.6秒给热火，小牛领先，这是致胜的两分。 "You have to be a little lucky," Nowitzki said, "but we kept on plugging." "你还是必须有一点幸运啦。" Nowitzki说， "不过我们就是持续负隅顽抗就是了。" That's a lesson the Mavs, who also erased eight-point fourth-quarter deficits in wins over the Lakers and Thunder, learned the hard way one painful night in Portland that seems so long ago now. 这是小牛得到的教训，他们还曾经在第四节在落後八分下对雷霆和湖人逆转取胜， 虽然看似久远，他们在那天晚上的波特兰用最艰难，最痛苦的方式学到了这些教训。 "It's definitely in the back of our heads," said center Tyson Chandler, the Mavs' defensive anchor. "When we pulled our first comeback, we came to the bench and said, 'Listen, if it could happen to us, it could happen to somebody else.' Now it just becomes, 'We're never going to give up until the buzzer sounds.' "那场失败的确在我们背後鞭策着我们。" 小牛的防守上的定海神针，中锋Tyson Chandler说， "当们面临第一次的逆转落败，大家到了板凳， 然後我说：听着，如果对方能对我们逆转成功，那反过来我们一样也可以办到。" "而现在只是那个时刻真的出现了，在终场的哨声响起之前，我们绝不放弃。" "No matter what happens in the game, we're going to play until it ends." "不管比赛中发生什麽事情，我们都会持续奋战直至一切终焉。" No matter the odds, the Mavs have usually found a way to win, putting them a few victories away from having the last laugh. 不管数字上的概率到底有多少，小牛队似乎都能找到方法去得胜， 偷走一些本来看似不是属於他们的胜利，并且笑到最後。 -- 3 wins to ring. -- 打工仔达拉斯小牛队板兼职帐号 --
