ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)—
The Superman capes were left crinkled up under the seats after a record-setting
performance by Dwight Howard couldn’t prevent more Magic misery in the NBA
finals.
Howard set a finals record with nine blocked shots, had 16 points and 21
rebounds, but the All-Star center missed eight free throws—including a pair
that could have sealed a win in regulation—and the Magic lost 99-91 in
overtime to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night to go down 3-1 in the
series.
超人送出创总冠军战纪录的9记麻辣锅,且得到16分抓了21个板子,但是这位明星中锋
在罚球线上失手了8次,魔术队在延长赛中以99-91败给湖人队,使得系列赛变成3-1落
後的局面。
“I just missed them,” said Howard, aka Superman. “I’ve been working on my
free throws. They just weren’t falling tonight. There’s no need to get down
on myself. I think I did a lot of good things tonight, just my free throws were
n’t there.”
超人:「我就是失手了。」
「我已经在这上面下过工夫了,但今晚就是投不进,不过我想我不需要为这沮丧,今晚
我在其他方面干得很不错~但就是罚不进。」
Orlando was ahead 87-84 with 11.1 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter when
Howard was fouled. Taking a deep breath and relaxing his shoulders, Howard took
the ball and bounced it each time before he shot.
Howard, who had been shooting 65 percent from the line in the postseason,
finished 6 for 14. The Magic were 22 for 37.
魔术队在第四节剩11.1秒时仍保持87-84的领先时超人站上罚球线,他先深呼吸一下
并耸耸肩来放松,在投篮前先拍拍球。」
“How would you feel? Pretty bad, right? He’s obviously upset,” Magic guard
J.J. Redick said. “It’s a disappointing way to lose—11 seconds up three
with two free throws. You at least feel you’re going to get another trip to
the free throw line because they have to foul. End up losing in overtime.”
丁丁:「你觉得怎麽样,很糟对吧?很明显的他相当沮丧,这是很令人失望的落败方式
。」
All those bricks brought back memories of the Magic’s only other finals
appearance, when Nick Anderson missed four consecutive free throws at the end
of Game 1 of the 1995 finals. Orlando never recovered and was swept 4-0 by the
Houston Rockets.
这又让人想起1995年Nick Anderson在finals G1最後关头罚球4-0的悲剧。
(这家伙最近很红 -_-)
These finals looked just the same.
Derek Fisher hit a 3-pointer to send the game into overtime and another big one
in OT. Now the Magic will face a true must-win in Game 5 on Sunday.
渔夫以一个三分球将比赛带入延长赛,在延长赛时又投进另一个巨大的三分,现在魔术
必需要面对有非赢不可压力的 G5。
Howard looked like he was going to bring the Magic to a 2-all series tie, but
Orlando blew a 12-point halftime lead and collapsed in the final minute of
regulation. Howard had seven turnovers in the game and missed another free
throw in overtime.
超人看似要带领魔术队将系列赛板成2-2的状况,但奥兰多在正规时间最後一分钟败掉
半场12分的领先,Howard今天一共发生7次失误,且在OT时在罚球线上又失手一球。
“It’s tough for him,” Magic point guard Rafer Alston said. “He played a
great game. I’m not going to base his performance or anything like that on one
free throw.”
街球王:「这对他来说一定很难受,他打了一场好球,我不会因为一次罚球去抹煞他的
好表现。」
It was another excruciating loss for the Magic. Another game they had plenty of
opportunities to win. It’s been that way all series and throughout the
franchise’s history
这场比赛对魔术队来说又是另一次打击,他们有很多机会可以赢得比赛。
Magic guard Courtney Lee missed an alley-oop attempt at the regulation buzzer
in Game 2, a potential-game winner that was only magnified after Orlando lost
in overtime. This franchise has seen plenty of other heartbreak.
除了小李子在 G2 错失了以alley-oop绝杀湖人队的机会,这场比赛再度令人心碎。
Shaquille O’Neal bolting for Los Angeles after the 1995-96 season. Grant
Hill’s constant injuries, and so many potent Magic teams led by Tracy McGrady
that never made it past the first round.
鲨鱼在1995-96球季投奔洛杉矶,Grant Hill又不断受伤,魔术队在T-Mac当家的时代,
不曾冲破第一轮。
It seems to only be getting more painful.
While the Magic have climbed back from nearly every obstacle this season—
injuries, playoff deficits and buzzer-beaters—this one might be too tough to
overcome. Only eight NBA teams have come back from a 3-1 hole in a best-of-
seven series.
这更是令人痛苦。
当魔术队本季看似排除万难,包括伤病困扰、被压哨球绝杀…等,现在面临的是更艰钜
的困难,历史上只有八支球队能从3-1的绝对劣势中逆转。
“We can’t hang our heads,” Howard said. “We still believe. There’s no
reason to have any doubts right now.”
超人︰「我们还不打算投降。」
「We still believe.」
「现在这个时候我们没有理由怀疑自己。」

Let's Go Magic!
We still believe.
