Ailing Nowitzki lifts Mavericks, NBA finals tied 身体不适的Nowitzki带领小牛追平总冠军系列赛 Coughing and wheezing, his temperature spiking to 101, worn out from hardly sleeping the night before, Dirk Nowitzki went through three miserable quarters in Game 4 of the NBA finals. Dirk Nowitzki不断的咳嗽又很喘，体温飙高到华式101度，因为前一晚 难以入眠而体力透支，在总冠军战第四战前三节他的表现相当可悲。 Yet the fourth quarter was his time to shine. Again. 不过第四节才是他再度发威的时刻。 And now the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat are starting over in the NBA finals, this best-of-seven series reduced to a best-of-three. 现在达拉斯小牛与迈阿密热火的NBA总决赛从七战四胜变成了三战 两胜的系列赛。 Nowitzki fought through a sinus infection and everything else that ailed him and his team to power a 21-9 run over the final 10:12, lifting the Mavericks to a memorable 86-83 victory Tuesday night. Dirk抵抗着他受到感染的鼻窦以及让他感到不适的一切，带领小牛 在第四节倒数10分12秒打出21-9的强力攻势，让小牛以86-83拿下 一场值得纪念的胜利。 In the final period, Nowitzki scored 10 of his 21 points - including a driving right-handed layup that spun in off the backboard with 14.4 seconds left - and grabbed five of his 11 rebounds as Dallas pulled off its second stunning finish this series. 在最後一节当中，Dirk攻下全场21分当中的10分，包括在最後14.4 秒的切入转身右手上篮擦板得分，并且在第四节抓下全场11篮板当 中的5个，让小牛在这系列第二次演出令人咋舌的逆转秀。 "Just battle it out," Nowitzki said, sniffing throughout his postgame interview with his warm-up jacket zipped all the way up, still in his uniform instead of changing into street clothes like the NBA prefers. "This is the finals. You have to go out there and compete and try your best for your team. So that's what I did." Dirk在赛後记者会穿着他的热身外套，拉链拉到最高，不断的吸着 鼻涕，他依然穿着球衣，而不适换成一般NBA球员会换穿的便服。 他说："就是上场拼战，已经总冠军战了，你必须拼尽全力，用你 最大的力量去奋斗，来帮助你的球队，这就是我所做的。" The Mavs avoided going down 3-1, a deficit no team has ever overcome in the finals, and guaranteed the series will return to Miami for a Game 6 on Sunday night. 小牛避免了落入1-3的劣势，处於这种劣势的球队从来没有在总冠军 战翻盘过，而且这也代表了下周一将於迈阿密举行第六战。 Game 5 is Thursday night in Dallas, and Nowitzki vowed to be ready. 第五战礼拜五依然在达拉斯举行，Dirk保证他准备好了。 "There's no long term," Nowitzki said. "I'll be all right on Thursday. ... Hopefully I'll get some sleep tonight, take some meds and be ready to go on Thursday." Dirk说："这不会困扰我太久，我礼拜五会康复的。希望我今晚可以 好好睡，吃一些药，准备好礼拜五的出赛。" Nowitzki wasn't as dominant as Michael Jordan when he scored 38 points despite a 103-degree fever in Game 5 of the 1997 finals - but it was that kind of performance down the stretch. With everyone knowing he wasn't at full strength, the Mavs still ran their offense through him in the fourth quarter, and he delivered, making 2 of 6 shots and all six of his free throws. Dirk不像Michael Jordan一样在1997年总冠军战第五战一样带着华式 103度的高温还能砍下38分那样神勇，但在关键时刻Dirk却不逊於MJ。 尽管大家都知道他不在最佳状态，小牛还是在第四节把交给他，他也 把球投进了，他第四节投6中2，6罚全进。 If the Mavericks wind up winning their first championship, what Nowitzki's done this series will go down among the greatest. Remember, in Game 2 he bounced back from a torn tendon in the tip of his left middle finger to score the final nine points in Dallas' 22-5 rally, including two left-handed layups among his final three baskets. 如果小牛最後能拿到队史首座总冠军，Dirk在这个系列赛的演出将会 写入NBA传奇的史页。别忘了，第二战他才刚受到左手中指肌腱撕裂 的影响，但还是拿到小牛的最後9分，包括最後三次得手里他两次用 左手上篮得分，率领小牛打出一波22-5的攻势而逆转。 "The average person, you know, has sick days and battling 100-something (fever), it's just tough to get out of bed," Dallas center Tyson Chandler said. "This guy is playing against the best athletes in the world." 小牛中锋Tyson Chandler说："你知道，平常人偶尔会碰上100度以 上的高烧，你连要下床都很困难。这家伙却还在跟世界上最强的运 动员们拼斗着。" What Nowitzki did grows in stature when compared to how meek a healthy LeBron James played. Dirk已经成长到一个伟大的境界，相形之下健康的LeBron James打 的相当虚弱。 James made only 3 of 11 shots - a tip-in during the first quarter, then a 15-foot jumper and a breakaway dunk in the third quarter. Not only did he fail to score in the fourth, he took only one shot while playing all 12 minutes. James仅投11中3，第一节有一次补篮得分，第三节投进一个15尺跳投 还有一次快攻灌篮。他不仅第四节无法得分，甚至打满12分钟却只出 手一次。 He finished with eight points, ending a double-figure scoring streak of 433 consecutive games, regular season and postseason. It was his fewest points ever in the playoffs. 他最後只拿到8分，连续场次得分双位数的纪录停在433场，包括季赛 与季後赛。这也是他生涯季後赛的最低得分。 "I've got to do a better job of being more assertive offensively," said James, who nonetheless contributed nine rebounds and seven assists. "I'm confident in my ability. It's just about going out there and knocking them down." 不过James还是贡献了9篮板7助攻，他说："我要打的更好，进攻时要 更有决心。我对我的能力很有信心，我只要站出来并且把球投进。" Dwyane Wade led Miami with 32 points, but missed a free throw with 30.1 seconds left and fumbled an inbounds pass with 6.7 seconds left. He knocked the ball back to Mike Miller for a potential tying 3-pointer, but it wasn't even close to hitting the rim. Fans jumped to their feet and began roaring as soon as they could tell the ball was off-target. Dwyane Wade拿下全队最高的32分，不过在最後30.1秒错失一个罚球， 又在最後6.7秒没接好球。他把球救给Mike Miller来投一个可能追平 比数的三分球，但那球连框都差很远。当全场球迷看到球偏的离谱时， 大家欢天喜地的跳上跳下并且吼叫着。 Dallas players savored it, too, except for Nowitzki, who walked off looking somewhat sullen, obviously ready for a hot shower and a warm bed. 小牛的球员也品嚐着这份喜悦，除了Dirk以外。他闷着脸，准备要去 洗热水澡然後好好睡一觉。 His illness hit Monday night. After struggling to get any rest, he showed up for shootaround but hardly did anything. 他的感冒昨天发作，几乎没有得到任何休息，他在投篮练习时出现但 几乎没办法做任何事。 His condition was kept a secret, and he helped keep it that way by hitting his first three shots. Then he missed 10 of 11 and it was obvious something was wrong. The biggest giveaway: he also missed a free throw for the first time since Game 4 of the conference finals. 他的病情完全被保密，在他开局连进三球时更是没法看出来。接下来 他投11球却有10球没进，明显的有些不对劲。最大的破绽就是：他从 西区冠军战第四战之後第一次没把球罚进。 The Heat didn't know, and didn't care. 热火不知道，也不在意。 "There is not an illness report before the game or anything," Miami's Chris Bosh said. "I've never been out there and somebody pointed and said, `He's got a fever!"' 热火的Chris Bosh说："赛前没有他生病的消息，我也没听到有人指 着他说他发烧了。" Mavs coach Rick Carlisle tried resting Nowitzki as much as he could. During timeouts, he stayed in his chair as long as possible, trying to conserve every ounce of energy. 小牛教练Rick Carlisle试着让Dirk尽可能多休息，在暂停的时候， Dirk尽可能的做在椅子上越久越好，把每一分体力都省下来。 "You've got a guy that's 7 foot, there's a different kind of toll it takes on your body when you're sick," Carlisle said. "Everyone could tell looking at him that he labored." Carlisle说："这家伙是个七尺长人，在生病的时候会有各种不同 的不适感，每个人都看的出来他累坏了。" This series is now more fascinating than ever. It just went from two games decided by two points, the first time that happened in the finals since 1998, to being settled by three points. 这个系列赛现在更引人注目了，前两场是自从1998年以来第一次 连续两场总冠军战比数只差2分，今天则是以3分决胜负。 Coming into this game, the Heat felt they should have been up 3-0. The Mavs felt they should have been up 2-1. This game was all about figuring out whether Miami was going to runaway with the championship, as many have expected since "The Decision" last summer, or if the plucky veterans from Dallas really had what it took to be champs for the first time. 在这场比赛之前，热火觉得他们本来有机会可以3-0领先了。小牛 则是觉得他们应该以2-1领先。今天这场比赛决定热火是否能在去 年夏天James的"抉择"之後跟大家期待一样的拿下冠军，抑或是拥 有很多奋勇老将的小牛共同拿下他们的第一座冠军。 Now it's 2-2. Both teams are 1-1 at home, and all those stats about who wins under various circumstances seem pretty moot. 现在系列赛2-2平手，两队的主场都是1-1，各种在任何情况下谁赢 谁输的统计数据都没有意义了。 The folks in the NBA office and at ABC are loving it the most. Ratings already have been setting records and they're sure to be up again, with interest for Game 5 higher than ever. 不过在NBA官方或是ABC(转播单位)工作的人可是乐坏了，收视率不 断创新高，而且保证还会更高。第五战的收视率应该会前所未有。 "This series is a jump ball," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "These guys live for these type of moments. It's about execution and disposition in the fourth quarter, being able to close out. We have a golden opportunity in the next game." 热火教练Erik Spoelstra说："这个系列就像在跳球一样，这些家伙 就是为了此刻而生。战术的执行力还有第四节的是否能顺利关门决 定一切，我们第五战有绝佳的机会。" Miami seemed to have taken control when it went ahead 74-65, its biggest lead of the night. Then Dallas went to a zone and the Heat struggled. 热火在第四节取得74-65的本场最大领先，看起来一切在掌握之中 了。然後小牛使出了区域防守，让热火不知所措。 They scored a series-low 14 points in the fourth quarter, committing six turnovers and making only 5 of 15 shots. They actually made their first two, so they missed 10 of their final 13. 热火第四节拿到这系列赛单节最低的14分，犯下6次失误而且仅投 15中5。事实上他们一开始两投都近，所以他们接下来的13投只进 3球。 Jason Terry - who kick-started Dallas' Game 2 comeback with six straight points, but was 0 for 7 in the fourth quarter of the other two games - got the Mavs going with consecutive baskets. He capped the winning rally with two free throws with 6.7 seconds left that forced Miami to need a 3-pointer to force overtime. Jason Terry在第二战连拿6分点燃反攻的气势，但在另外两场输球 中第四节合计投7中0。他第四节连续投进两球，又在最後6.7秒稳稳 罚进两球，逼的热火只能抢投三分把比赛逼入延长。 "These are two teams trying to figure out a way to make plays down the stretch," James said. "We've seen in this series a seven- or eight-point lead is nothing. You just got to continue to execute offensively, continue to grind defensively, and put yourself in the best possible chance to win late." James说："两队在最後阶段都在找寻得分的方法，我们在这系列赛 看到7~8分的领先根本就不算什麽。我们必须持续的执行进攻，持续 做好防守，这样才能在最後有更大的机会赢球。" Carlisle shook up Dallas' lineup, starting J.J. Barea instead of DeShawn Stevenson, and made Brian Cardinal the primary backup for Nowitzki, instead of Peja Stojakovic. Like his late move to the zone, these changes worked out quite nicely. He also made an adjustment after Miami grabbed nine offensive rebounds in the first quarter; the Heat got just six more. Carlisle变更了小牛的先发，J.J. Barea取代DeShawn Stevenson成 为先发，Brian Cardinal也取代Peja Stojakovic成为Dirk的头号替 补。就跟他最後采用区域防守一样，这些调度还蛮成功的。他也在热 火第一节抓下9个进攻篮板後做出调整，接下来热火总共只抓到6个进 攻篮板。 Stevenson scored 11 points, his first time in double-digits since Feb. 2. Cardinal drew a charge on James early and provided seven solid minutes, giving Nowitzki much-needed rest. Stevenson攻下11分，这是他自从2月2号以来第一次得分达到双位数， Cardinal也在比赛初期作了James一个进攻犯规，在上场的7分钟当中 表现不错，给了Dirk他最需要的休息时间。 (我记得Cardinal好像做进攻犯规失败？成功的是Kidd吧，应是作者笔误。) Terry scored 17, Shawn Marion 16 and Chandler had 13 points and 16 rebounds. Terry攻下17分，Shawn Marion得到16分，Chandler拿到13分16篮板。 Backup center Brendan Haywood returned to the lineup after missing Game 3 with a hip injury, but lasted only 3:05. Chandler could tell he was hurting and jumped off the bench to go back in. 替补中锋Brendan Haywood在第三战因为臀部伤势缺阵之後再度回到 球场，不过他只撑了3分05秒。拳王看的出他伤还没好，於是他跳出 板凳请求上场。 "I told Coach, `You have to get me back out there, I will play 48 (minutes) if I need to,"' Chandler said. Chandler说："我跟教练讲，你得把我放上去，如果需要的话我可以 打满48分钟。" NOTES: Bosh scored 24 points. Other than Miami's three superstars, none of the Heat scored more than six. ... Of the last 26 times the finals have been tied at 2, the Game 5 winner has won it all 19 times. Last year was among the exceptions, with the Celtics winning Game 5 and the Lakers taking the last two. ... The 2006 finals between these teams also was tied 2-2, but Miami overcame an 0-2 deficit to win four straight. ... This was Wade's fifth 30-point game of the playoffs. 一些纪录： Bosh攻下24分，除了热火三巨头之外，其他人得分都不超过6分。 在之前总冠军战有26次打成2-2平手，拿到第五战胜利的球队有19 支最後拿下总冠军。去年就是例外，塞尔提克赢了第五战，不过 湖人赢了最後两场。2006年总决赛小牛跟热火就是打成2-2，但热 火从0-2连胜四场封王。 这是Wade第五次在季後赛得分破30。 大家辛苦了 第五战加油吧!! --
