Confidence growing at perfect time for Denver after 115-111 win over Lakers 金块在最佳时刻增强自信心。 Sixth win in a row solidifies hold on sixth spot in West 六连胜，稳住西区第六种子。 http://tinyurl.com/yumkbw By Chris Tomasson, Rocky Mountain News April 10, 2007 The Nuggets staggered into the playoffs last season with four straight losses. That doesn't appear to be a problem this time. 去年金块以四连败蹒跚走进季後赛，今年金块不再重蹈覆辙。 Denver continued to round into playoff form, winning its season-best sixth straight game Monday night at the Pepsi Center. After the 115-111 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, guard Allen Iverson uttered what seemed to be a challenge. 金块持续发烫，朝着季後赛前进。礼拜一晚上他们在Pepsi Center赢得本季新高 六连胜，金块以115比111击败湖人之後，後卫Allen Iverson发表了『季後赛强队 挑战』言论。 "My whole thing since I've gotten here is a team has got to beat us four times in a playoff series," said Iverson, acquired Dec. 19. "I'd like to see that happen." 12月19日正式成为金块人的Iverson表示：「自从我来到这里，我所关注的就是哪 支球队想要在季後赛晋级，就必须打败我们四次，而我想看看哪支球队有这样的 能耐。」 Nobody recently has been able to beat the Nuggets (41-36), who solidified their hold on the No. 6 playoff seed in the Western Conference, even once. Four of the six wins have come against teams in position to make the playoffs. 金块队近来无人能挡，他们稳住这个本季只占过一次的西区第六种子位置。六连胜 之中，他们击败四支季後赛名单之内的队伍。 As has been the case often this season, the Nuggets kicked away a lead, after being up by as many as 13 points in the fourth quarter. But after falling behind by one point on two occasions in the final 4:20, the Nuggets finished the game with an 8-3 run. 然而本季的老问题再次发生，金块队在第四节13分的领先分数再次搞砸，但是在球赛 结束前4分20秒以一分落後之後，金块队打出一波8比3的攻势结束比赛。 "This is probably the best time to get the chemistry down," said Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony, who scored a game-most 33 points. "It couldn't come at a better time." 攻下全场最高33分的金块队前锋Carmelo Anthony说：「也许这时候是让化学效应发酵 的最佳时刻，没有比现在更适合的时候了。」 Anthony made two free throws with 7.1 seconds left for a 114-111 lead. He was draped on Lakers guard Kobe Bryant when he missed a 27-foot three-point attempt with 2.7 seconds left, then center Marcus Camby split two free throws with 2 seconds left to secure the win. Anthony在枪响前7.1秒二罚俱中，带领球队取得114比111领先，并且在比赛结束前 2.7秒成功守住湖人後卫Kobe Bryant27尺的三分出手，接着中锋Marcus Camby二罚 中一，帮助金块在最後2秒保住胜利。 "I take that challenge," Anthony said of guarding Bryant down the stretch. "The last 2 or 3 minutes, I told (Linas Kleiza), 'Go guard Lamar Odom.' " 谈到比赛後段负责防守Bryant，Anthony表示：「我接下这个挑战。大概是最後2.3 分钟的时候，我告诉Linas Kleiza，『你去防守Lamar Odom』。」 Bryant shot a mere 9-of-30 while scoring 23 points. Nuggets coach George Karl said his players were able to stay in front of Bryant and he just "missed a lot of shots." Bryant整场投30仅仅命中9球，拿下23分。金块教练George Karl表示，球员们尽可 能压迫Bryant，让他屡投不进。 Bryant did most of his firing during the second half, when he went 5-of-18. He didn't score in the first 9 minutes of the game. "I started out the game a little too passive so my rhythm wasn't there when I needed it to be," Bryant said. "I tried to go to the well but the well was a little empty." 开赛後前9分钟静悄悄的Bryant下半场投18中5，他大部分的分数都在下半场获得。 Bryant说：「开赛之初，我打得太过被动，当我需要掌握节奏时已经太晚了，我设 法取回优势，但是优势已不在。」 The same can be said for the Lakers (40-38). They lost for the sixth time in eight games and fell 1 1/2 games behind the Nuggets for the No. 6 seed. The Nuggets won the season series 3-1, the first time they've done that against the Lakers since 1993-94. Because they hold the tiebreaker, the Nuggets would have to lose at least three of their final five games to not be No. 6. 这句话也是湖人队（40-38）的心声。他们八场比赛之中输了六场，并以一又二分 之一场差落後第六种子的金块。本季金块队以三胜一败取得对战优势，这是他们自 1993-94年以来，首度在双方对战中取得胜利。这样的优势，让金块队得以稳居第六， 除非最後的五场比赛他们输了三场。 The Nuggets' magic number dropped to one to clinch a playoff berth. The Nuggets, who most likely will face San Antonio in the first round, can earn a trip with a win Wednesday at Utah, but they would have to wait until at least Friday if they lose. 金块队季後赛魔术数字降为一。几乎确定季後赛将面对马刺的金块队，如果能在礼拜 三打败爵士，就能确定晋级；不然他们至少要等到礼拜五。 But the Nuggets aren't showing many signs of losing. "We've won six games in a row," said Iverson, who scored 24 points. "If you don't have confidence now, then you will never get it." 然而没有任何徵兆显示金块队会吃败仗。本场比赛拿下24分的Iverson说：「我们已 经六连胜，如果你无法从中获得自信心，那麽你永远对自己没信心。」 The Nuggets also got 22 rebounds and seven blocked shots from Camby, giving him 42 rebounds in two games in the past week against the Lakers. Anthony said he must "have something personal against them." Camby为金块队摘下22颗篮板球与7次火锅。上周以来与湖人的二次对战，他一共抓下 42个篮板球。Anthony表示，「Camby一定跟湖人队有私人恩怨」。 The Nuggets got 17 points off the bench from Linas Kleiza and 14 from Eduardo Najera. Karl said Najera, who recently missed six games with a left tibia contusion, had a lot of "bounce." 金块从K炸与马市长身上获得17分的板凳火力支援。提到因为胫骨挫伤而缺席六场 比赛的马市长，Karl表示他展现充沛的「活力」。 The Nuggets showed plenty of bounce in leading by as many as 15 in the first half and being up 100-87 with 8:56 left. But the Lakers stormed back to take a 105-104 lead with 4:20 remaining and were up 108-107 with 1:59 left when Odom split two free throws.But forward Nene made two free throws with 1:41 left to give the Nuggets the lead for good. Camby blocked a Ronny Turiaf dunk attempt, one of several big defensive plays down the stretch. 上半场金块队也展现活力，曾以15分领先，并且在比赛结束前8分56秒，保有100比87 的优势；但是湖人队开始反扑，枪响前4分20秒取得105比104超前，最後1分59秒靠着 Odom二罚中一，仍以108比107领先；接下来金块队就靠着前锋Nene二罚俱中，在比赛 剩下1分41秒之後，便领先至终场。Camby最後赏给Turiaf一记麻辣锅，成功阻止他的 灌篮，这也是比赛後段最重要的几个防守之一。 "It's defensive stops," Karl of the difference in the Nuggets winning close games down the stretch. 金块队近来的改变，就在於能够在分数接近的比赛之中最後关头取得胜利。 老爹说：「关键就在於防守，比赛最後时刻，他们能够成功阻止对方得分。」 Heading down the stretch of the season, the Nuggets are wondering who's going to stop them. 而在这个季赛最後时刻，金块队不觉得有任何人可以阻止他们连胜。 ETC.: The loss assures Lakers coach Phil Jackson of the worst coaching season of his 16-year career. . . . Anthony knew it would take time for he and Iverson to mesh even if he didn't initially say it. "Once we got him, I was lying to myself," he said. "I had to tell myself it was going to work right away. But it was going to take some time for us to jell as a team and right now it's happening.'' The Nuggets clinched a fourth straight .500 or better season for the first time since joining the NBA in 1976-77. . . . The Nuggets made a season-most 39 free throws. . . Attending the game was former Nuggets forward Chris Andersen, who was banned from the NBA for a January 2006 drug violation and has been working out in Denver in hopes of being reinstated in January. ETC.: ‧湖人本场吞败之後，本季战绩已经成为教练Phil Jackson执教16年以来最差的战绩。 ‧Anthony了解，他与Iverson之间的磨合需要一些时间，即使最初他并没有说出口。 「他来了之後，我就欺骗了自己。我对自己说，我们之间马上就可以产生化学效应， 但事实上的确需要时间，而现在，已经开始慢慢发酵。」 ‧自1976-77加入NBA以来，今年是金块队首次连续四季胜率超过五成以上。 ‧金块队今天投进本季最高的39次罚球。 ‧今天金块队前前锋球员Chris Andersen出现在场边。他在2006年因为违反药物条例 被NBA当局踢出篮球界。他在丹佛努力训练，并希望明年一月可以重回球场。 --
