ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)—
Missing for two games, Orlando found its Magic touch.
Making easy shots and tough ones from everywhere, the Magic won their first
game in two visits to the NBA finals as Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis scored
21 points apiece in a 108-104 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3 on
Tuesday night to pull within 2-1.
在连输两场之後,魔术队找回他们的感觉,超人跟两千万各得21分,带领球队以108-104
的比数,拿下队史进军总冠军战的第一胜。
Orlando shot a finals record 63 percent—including another record 75 percent
in the first half—to snap a six-game finals losing streak and avoid falling
into an 0-3 hole that 88 previous teams in postseason history have been unable
to escape.
魔术队创下冠军战最高的全场63%命中率,包括半场75%的命中率也改写纪录。
避免落入0-3的绝对劣势,历史上88只球队没有能在如此绝境下翻身。
“Well, it was going in the basket. That always works,” Magic coach Stan Van
Gundy said. “That formula’s always tried and true.”
Kobe Bryant, seeking a fourth title and his first since 2002, scored 31points
for the Lakers but the superstar had just 10 points in the second half and
went only 4 of 15 from the field after the first quarter. He also missed five
free throws, points that could have given the Lakers that 3-0 lead.
Game 4 is Thursday night, and Game 5—now necessary—will be at Amway Arena on
Sunday.
恐慌大师:「我们打出应有的水准,若我们这样打,就稳当了。」
小飞侠正寻求个人第四座总冠军,今天比赛得到31分,但在下半场只得到10分,且第一
节之後投15仅中4,且再罚球线上失手五次,若这五分加上去,湖人现在可能已经取得
3-0的优势了。
The Lakers, going for their 15th title and looking to redeem themselves for
losing to Boston last season, have lost their stranglehold.
“This is a tough team, not a cupcake team,” Bryant said. “Extremely well
coached, execute well and we’ve got our work cut out.”
小飞侠:「这是(魔术队)韧性很强的球队,他们不是软脚虾。」
「他们打得很好,战术执行的很棒,而我们不是。」
With their season 48 minutes from all but disappearing, the Magic, hosting
their first finals game since 1995, had five players score at least 18 points.
Rafer Alston, who was just 3 of 17 from the field in the first two games, had
20 and Hedo Turkoglu and Mickael Pietrus 18 each.
魔术队赢得队史第一胜,今天有五位球员得到18分以上,包括前两战投17仅中3的街球王
,今天得到了20分,土耳其火枪兵与法国乔丹各得18分。
“We’ve got to play like this,” Howard said. “When guys are attacking we're
tough to guard.”
超人:「我们必须像这样打,当对手攻击我们,我们就要坚韧的守住。」
Pau Gasol scored 23 points but had just three rebounds and the Lakers were only
16 of 26 from the line.
嘎兽得到24分,但仅抓下3个板子,湖人队在罚球线上投26仅中16。
For a while, it appeared the Magic, who shot just 36 percent while dropping
Games 1 and 2 at Staples Center, couldn’t or wouldn’t miss.
From 20 feet, swish. From 10 feet, nothing but net. Layups, runners, banks,
pull-ups, didn’t matter. You name it, if it went up, more times than not it
went in.
Orlando made 24 of 32 shots in the first half and only cooled off a little in
the third quarter as they entered the fourth at a 65 percent clip and clinging
to an 81-75 lead.
有别於前两战的低迷,魔术队在上半场投32中24,第三节冷却下来,但仍带着65%的命
中率以81-75进入第四节。
Bryant sat out the first 4:47 of the fourth, and when he finally subbed in,
the Lakers were still down by five and unable to do anything to stop the
Magic’s marksmanship.
小飞下在第四节前4:47仍坐壁上观,之後才上场,但与魔术队队仍差五分,且无法阻
止魔术队的投射。
But then, Orlando began to misfire at the worst time possible.
After Pietrus was long with a wide-open 3, Gasol was fouled at the other end
and made two free throws to make it 99 all with 2:41 remaining. Orlando’s
rowdy crowd, which waited 14 years for a chance to welcome the Larry O’Brien
Trophy to town, grew nervous.
但魔术队开始熄火,最糟糕的时刻来到。
Pietrus投进一个空档三分球後,嘎兽罚进两分,两队在最後2:41战成99平手,魔术队的
球迷开始紧张,他们等这一胜等了14年。
“Oh, boy,” muttered one fan near the media section.
But Pietrus calmed fears by dunking in a rare miss to put the Magic up two,
and when Lewis hit a jumper—it was originally called a 3 but replays showed
his right foot was on the line—Orlando was up 104-101.
法国乔丹的一个补灌抚平了这紧张的情绪,接下来两千万投了一个踩在三分线上的两分
球,魔术队取得104-101领先。
Howard was called for a questionable foul on a drive by Bryant, who then split
his two free throws. When he went to the Lakers bench during a timeout that
followed, Bryant hit himself in the head for letting two more valuable points
slip away.
超人被吹了一个有争议的犯规,犯在小飞侠身上。
Orlando couldn’t capitalize, though, and the Lakers got the ball back when
Lewis missed a baseline jumper and the rebound went off him and out of bounds.
Bryant, who scored 17 in the first quarter and 21 by halftime, then maybe tried
to do too much. He crossed over to get past Pietrus, but Howard, the league’s
defensive player of the year known mostly for his blocks underneath, made like
a point guard and tipped the ball away. Pietrus was fouled and made both to
make it 106-102.
The Lakers suddenly became desperate. Instead of working the ball into Gasol
or Lamar Odom, they fired away from outside.
They couldn’t shoot with the Magic.
Bryant missed a 3, Trevor Ariza misfired on one, Bryant clanged another and
Derek Fisher was long as the Lakers went 0 for 4 on a possession where they
had to have points. Bryant did score on a putback with .05 seconds left, but
it was too late and although there was still time left, confetti began to fall
to the court.
(以上叙述比赛最後的过程)
Lakers coach Phil Jackson felt Bryant looked tired down the stretch.
“We’re all frail as humans,” he said. “Sometimes not as much as others.”
禅师认为小飞侠累了,他说:「比起对手,我们看起来意志力薄弱。」
Orlando, which was swept by the Houston Rockets 14 years ago, could finally
celebrate winning one on pro basketball’s biggest stage.
魔术队14年前遭火箭队横扫。
Bryant fouled Lewis with .02 seconds to go, and as Magic fans hugged and danced
at an outcome they longed for, he dropped two more to seal it.
The last time Orlando hosted a finals game, Howard was a 9-year-old kid in
Atlanta and Shaquille O’Neal was the Magic’s Superman.
Outside the cramped arena, which had a red Superman cape hanging off one wall,
Orlando fans, one of them dressed as Jack Nicholson and carrying a sign that
read: “Jack, You Can’t Handle The Truth,” gathered on the sidewalks hoping
this would be a night their team could get back into the series.
They believed.
This was their magic night.
小飞侠在最後0.2秒犯规在两千万身上时,主场球迷都疯了。
上一次由第一代超人大欧领军的魔术队在家里打总冠军战时,Howard还只是个待在亚特
兰大的九岁小男孩。
今夜是属於魔术队的。
