Mavericks-Thunder Preview OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The opportunity to attempt a shot and win a game used to make Kevin Durant so jittery he couldn't sit still. 对於有机会投致胜一击，Kevin Durant说他常常紧张到坐立难安。 With the game on the line, he'd find himself literally shaking as he sat on the bench in late-game timeouts with the ball about to come his way. 当比赛的胜负交到他手上时，他发现自己坐在板凳上的身躯正在颤 抖着。 Then he found a way to take the edge off: He had to stop caring quite so much. 然後他就想到了一个方法，就是不要管那麽多了。 Durant said he decided to try the new mindset after he watched an interview featuring seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry last offseason during which the player known as "Big Shot Rob" talked about taking the pressure off himself in that fashion. KD说他在看过拥有七枚冠军戒指的Robert Horry的访问之後，会试 着用另一种心境来面对这种情况，Horry的心脏是着名的大颗，他 谈到了如何来解除自己的压力。 "He made some big shots in some big moments," Durant said. "So, I just tried to take that approach." KD说："他曾在重要时刻投进重要一击，我也是着这样做。" Maybe it's no coincidence that Durant opened this postseason by hitting a foul-line jumper with 1.5 seconds left to lift the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 99-98 win over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 1 of their first-round series. 也许这是天注定，Durant第一战就在剩下1.5秒时投进超前分， 带领奥克拉荷马雷霆以99-98惊险击败达拉斯小牛。 "I was calm," Durant said after Oklahoma City's practice on Sunday. "I had some success getting to the rim a little bit in the fourth, so I just tried to put my head down and go. But Shawn Marion did a great job of cutting me off. I work on that spin back all the time, and I just tried to get to my spot and take a good shot. KD在今天的练习时表示："我那时很平静，我在第四节有比较多 成功的切入，所以我试着硬切进去。但是Shawn Marion守的很 好，他把我的切入路线挡住了，所以我转身并试着把球投出。" "If I'd have missed it, then I'd have had to walk off the court and deal with it and learn from it. But I'm glad I made it." "如果我没投进，我就只好走下场并且接受失败，把这作为之後 的借镜，我很庆幸我投进了。" It gave the Thunder the early edge in a rematch of last season's Western Conference finals that Dallas won 4-1. 这让雷霆在去年西区冠军战被小牛以4-1淘汰之後，在今年的第 一战讨回面子也取得领先。 Game 2 is Monday night in Oklahoma City. 明天的第二战依然在奥克拉荷马市举行。 Despite being the league's three-time scoring champion and among the most productive players in the fourth quarter, Durant is only now developing his reputation as a closer. 尽管KD成功的拿下得分王三连霸，第四节的进攻也很有效率，不 过他现在慢慢让众人见识到他最後一击的能力。 He had just two buzzer-beating winners in his four-year career before hitting a 3-pointer to beat Dallas in the fourth game of the regular season last December. There was a reason. 他在过去的四年职业生涯中，只有两次投进buzzer beater，去年 12月对上小牛的时候是第三次，这是有原因的。 "My first few years in the league, I would go to the bench and we'd be tied up with a couple seconds left and I'd be, like, shaking," Durant said. "I was so anxious to want the shot and make the shot, and I'd go out and miss." KD说："当我前几年打球时，我在最後关头时在板凳上都会发抖， 我很紧张的想把球投进，结果都没进。" Then he came across the interview with Horry, who won two NBA titles with Houston, three with the Los Angeles Lakers and two with San Antonio while becoming best known for his dramatic shots in the playoffs. It proved to be inspirational. 然後他看到了Horry的访问，Horry曾经在休士顿火箭拿下两座冠 军，又再洛杉矶湖人拿了三次冠军，在圣安东尼奥马刺也拿了两 次。他最为人知的就是在季後赛的戏剧性进球，这让KD有所启发。 "I've learned that it might take you 12, 13 misses to just make one," Durant said. "It might go like that. I learned that everything's a process and even with taking late-game shots, you're going to have to miss a few to make some. I've missed my fair share and hopefully if it comes around again, I make it." KD说："我学到在我投进1次之前，我有可能会连续12次或13次失 败，这是有可能的。我必须把每次的经验当做借镜，就算是在关 键时刻，投篮也可能进或不进，这次不进下次可能就进了，这次 我把握住机会。" His approach now? "To be honest, I really don't care if I make it or miss," he said. "You really can't think about it too much." 那他现在的想法是？他说："说真的，我不在乎我有没有进，我 真的不能太在意这件事。" "I just go back to the bench with nothing on my mind," he added. 他补充说："我回到板凳区时什麽都没有想。" Durant's clutch shot turned the tables from last year's West finals, when it was Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki who dominated fourth-quarter play and averaged 11.8 points in the final period. Durant的致胜球翻转了去年西区冠军战的局面，去年小牛的 Dirk Nowitzki掌控第四节的比赛，平均可以攻下11.8分。 Nowitzki had 11 of his 25 points in the final 5 minutes of Game 1, at one point going on a personal 7-1 run to put the Mavericks up by seven. The Thunder then sent an extra player at Nowitzki to get the ball out of his hands and were successful in forcing two key turnovers during their comeback. Dirk在昨天第一战的倒数5分钟得到全场25分当中的11分，一 度自己打出一波7-1的攻势让小牛领先达到7分，然後雷霆试着 包夹他并让他掉球，Dirk犯下两次关键失误，让雷霆逆转。 "It's a big gamble," Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks said. "People don't give him credit for this: He's one of the best passing bigs when defenders are converging on him. He sees, because they have great spacing and they have great 3-point shooters. It could have easily backfired." 雷霆教练Scott Brooks说："这是个大赌注，没什麽人知道Dirk 是个当面对包夹时很会传球的大个子。他能洞察场上的状况， 因为他们把比赛的站位打的很清楚，也有很棒的三分射手，我 们很可能玩火自焚。" Having witnessed Durant's most recent game-winner, Nowitzki was hardly surprised to see it happen again. 在看到KD的致胜球之後，Dirk对於这一点都不意外。 "He's already a clutch player," Nowitzki said. "He makes as much, when he gets the opportunity, as even the best of them. He had one early in the season against us when they were down two. He had another one (Saturday night)." 他说："他已经是个在关键时刻掌控比赛的选手，他在机会来 临时能把握住，他已经对我们投进过一次致胜球，昨天又投进 一次。" Perhaps Durant's biggest late-game struggle, other than overcoming anxiety, has been shot selection. Because of his nearly 7-foot frame, he'll occasionally settle for a step-back 3-pointer that's nearly impossible to defend. But it's also not the highest percentage shot. 或许KD在比赛尾端最大的问题不是克服紧张，而是他的出手选 择。因为他将近7尺的身高，他偶尔会在三分线外带一步跳投， 这几乎无人能挡，不过这不是他最有把握的得分方式。 Brooks had been critical of Durant for settling for a 3-pointer at the buzzer in a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers earlier this month, after Chris Paul's layup with 8.8 seconds left put Oklahoma City down two. Brooks在这个月初球队输给洛杉矶快艇的比赛中时对於KD这样 的三分球出手方式有所批评，当时在Chris Paul的上篮让快艇 在最後8.8秒时取得2分领先。 Nowitzki's two free throws Saturday night provided Dallas a one-point lead with 9 seconds remaining. 昨晚Dirk在倒数9秒时的两个罚球让小牛以1分领先。 "He made a shot going towards the basket in an aggressive fashion. That's what we need," Brooks said. "If he misses that shot, we live with it. We had a chance to get the offensive rebound. But those are the shots that he has to continue to build his game around." Brooks说："他在最後积极的面框进攻，这是我们所希望看见 的，如果他没进也没关系，我们还有机会抢到进攻篮板，不 过这是他在最後关头时应该的打法。" Durant knows it and is now more willing than ever to brush off the misses that come along with the chances to be a hero. KD知道他现在会比以前更勇於洗刷之前没进的耻辱，并且把握 机会成为英雄。 "I'm still growing," Durant said. "I know I'm going to take my bumps and bruises but it's just a matter of me being confident and just going and doing it." 他说："我还在进步，我知道一路上会很艰辛，但这只会让我更 有信心。" 整篇几乎都在讲KD orz 打起精神明天加油吧~~ Let's Go Mavs!! --
