EASY AS 1-2-3 OT http://tinyurl.com/9n3b5 By PHIL JASNER [email protected] Posted on Sat, Jan. 14, 2006 THE GENESIS of the most unlikely, most improbable victory of the 76ers' season came at halftime. 半场终了，故事的揭幕，七六人队似乎不大可能拿下这场胜利了。 Coming off their most embarrassing loss of the season Wednesday night against the Utah Jazz, the seemingly sad-sack Sixers had given up a whopping 65 points to the Boston Celtics in the first two quarters. 难堪地输了礼拜三晚上对上爵士的比赛，看起来积弱不振的七六人队，上半场 就让波士顿塞尔提克队拿下65分之多。 That was when Allen Iverson, the captain, laid down a challenge to his teammates. 这时候，身为队长的Allen Iverson，给队友们一项挑战。 "I told them we had to play defense, and that it would start with me pressuring the ball up the floor, trying to lead by example," Iverson said wearily, after a 125-124 triple-overtime victory, the Sixers' longest game since a 129-128 triple-OT victory over the Miami Heat on Nov. 20, 1992, at the Spectrum. 「我告诉他们，我们要打出防守。就从我开始，我压迫防守场上的每一球，试着 做出最好典范来带领队友」，Iverson精疲力尽地说着。这场125比124，经过三度 延长拿下来的胜利，是七六人队自1992年11月20日在Spectrum（Wachovia球场前名） 历经三次延长赛，以129比128击败迈阿密热火之後，最长的比赛。 Iverson told his teammates "never mind the offense, this game right here is going to be won on the defensive end." Iverson告诉他的队友「不要在意进攻」，现在这场比赛会以防守决定胜负。 Let the record show that the same Sixers who gave up 65 in the first two periods allowed a comparatively miniscule 36 in the second two quarters. 数据显示，上半场让对手得到65分的七六人队，相对之下下半场只仅仅让对手 拿下36分。 "That's a season-changing game," the Sixers' John Salmons said. "We never gave up. We were down 16 [in the third quarter] and we came back. We came together, we didn't put our heads down. At halftime, A.I. challenged everybody to play hard, to take the challenge defensively. We just buckled down. That's why it's a season-changing game. We had to trust each other, defensively and offensively." 七六人的John Salmons说：「这是一场让我们改变本季局势的比赛，我们从不放弃， 第三节落後16分，但我们急起直追，我们一起奋战，我们并没有垂头丧气。半场休息 时间A.I.激励大家，要打的更顽强，告诉我们要用防守迎接这次的挑战，之後我们 上紧发条，专心一致。这就是为什麽这是一场足以改变局势的比赛，不管在防守或 进攻方面，我们必须彼此相信」。 It was the Sixers' first win this season after being down with 5 minutes left in regulation. And this one was won - and nearly lost - in a lot of ways. 这是七六人本季第一次，能够在最後五分钟还处於落後的情况下反败为胜。 这次他们拿下胜利，虽然很多时候几乎要输球了。 Iverson, who finished with 33 points and 10 assists in 54 minutes, 5 seconds, missed a 23-foot jump shot that could have won the game in regulation. 全场打了54分钟5秒，拿下33分10助攻的Iverson，原本可以在正规时间结束前 执行拿下胜利的一投，但是他失手了。 The Celtics' Ricky Davids missed a 22-footer that could have won the game with 4.9 seconds remaining in the first 5-minute extra period. Worse, the Sixers' Chris Webber swept the rebound at 3.7 and didn't call a timeout. 塞尔提克队的Ricky Davids在第一次延长赛最後4.9秒，也没把握住22尺的最後 一击跳投。不过更糟的是最後3.7秒，七六人的Chris Webber抓下篮板之後， 并没有喊出暂停。 (Playing for Michigan in 1993, he called a timeout when the Wolverines didn't have one. Last night, he didn't call a timeout when the Sixers did have one.) （1993年他代表密西根大学出赛，叫了一个不存在的暂停； 昨晚七六人的确还有一个暂停，但是他并没有喊。） The Sixers' Kyle Korver drained a 26-foot three-pointer with 6/10ths of a second left to force the third OT. 七六人Kyle Korver则是在最後枪响前0.6秒，投进一记26尺的三分球， 把比赛带进三度延长赛。 Amazingly, the Sixers got down three points in the third OT, then scored the final four points of the interminable evening on a running one-hander by Andre Iguodala with 2:29 to go and two free throws by Webber with 1:22 left. 令人惊奇地，第三个延长赛一开始落後3分的七六人，拿下这场马拉松比赛 的最後4分。最後2分29秒Andre Iguodala单手跑投，加上最後1分22秒， Webber二罚俱中。 After that, no one scored. Iverson had a chance to increase the advantage with two free throws with 2 seconds left. He missed the first, then intentionally clanged the second attempt off the rim. 比赛至此，就没有人再得分。比赛终了前2秒，Iverson有机会增加优势， 站上罚球线2罚；他第一球失手，第二球故意将球打在篮框前缘。 After the Celtics' Delonte West missed a desperation heave from 55 feet with 3/10ths of a second to go, the Sixers instinctively, emotionally huddled and congratulated one another. 塞队Delonte West最後0.3秒无计可施之下，55尺远的奋力一投失手， 七六人出自本能激情地相互拥抱，庆祝胜利。 "There was such great momentum at the end," the Sixers' Michael Bradley said. "The game ended, everybody came together. Such a great moment. Totally unplanned." 「最後的气氛真棒」，七六人的Michael Bradley说， 「比赛结束大家互相拥抱，真是感动的一刻，完全是真情流露」。 This was the seventh triple-OT game in franchise victory. Six have been wins. The team is 3-0 in triple-overtimes since moving to Philadelphia from Syracuse. 这是队史上第七次的三度延长赛，七六人拿下六胜。自雪城搬到费城之後， 这支队伍三度延长的比赛拿下三胜零败。 Webber went 50 minutes, 40 seconds and put together 31 points and 13 rebounds. Samuel Dalembert, who fouled out in the second OT, had 20 points, 11 rebounds and seven blocks in 45:06. The Sixers improved to 7-0 when all five starters finish in double scoring figures. Webber打了50分40秒，得到31分13篮板；於第二次延长犯满毕业的 Samuel Dalembert则打了45分6秒，拿下20分11篮板7阻攻。当先发五人都得到双位数 的得分时，七六人拿下七胜零败。 Davis had 33 points on 13-for-26 shooting in 57:15, and the Celtics' Mark Blount had 27 points on 11-for-18 shooting. Celtics centerpiece Paul Pierce was limited to 18 points on 4-for-20 shooting. He had 10 assists and four steals, but committed seven turnovers. Davids打了57分15秒，投26中13得到33分；塞队Mark Blount有27分，投18中11。 球队中心Paul Pierce投20中4，只拿下18分，他有10次助攻、4抄截，但也有7次失误。 "This was exhausting," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said after his team's first triple-OT experience since defeating the then-Vancouver Grizzlies Feb. 17, 1999. "This was exhausting physically and mentally. It ages you. Right now, [Sixers coach] Mo Cheeks has to feel like he's 60. I feel like I'm 55. He's happy. That's the difference." 「这真是累死人了」，塞队教练Doc Rivers说。这是1999年2月17日击败当时还是 温哥华的灰熊队以来，第一次带领球队打到三次延长。「不管生理或心理，都是 精疲力竭。这种比赛会让你老化，现在Mo Cheeks可能会觉得他已经60岁，而我觉得 我已经55岁了，不同的是现在他很快乐」。 And just as weary. Mo也是一样累。 "The best part of it is, we worked on defense for 3 hours [Thursday]," Cheeks said. "When you get to a certain point, thinking about fatigue being a factor went out the window. Then, you're playing on adrenaline. As I said to the team... you never know what's going to happen." 他说：「最好的部分就是礼拜四，我们练习三个小时的防守。当你比赛打到某些 地步，疲劳已经抛诸脑後了，你靠着肾上腺素打球。就像我对球队说的，你永远 不知道下一秒会发生什麽事」。 Cheeks said he had never experienced a triple-OT as a player or as a coach. Cheeks说他不管是当球员或是教练的时候，都没有打三次延长赛的经验。 "I'd rather be a player [in this situation]," he said. "Just the anxiety of three OTs, getting down, going back up, seeing the flip-flop. I can't put in words what it is [like]." 他说：「在这种情况下，我比较喜欢当个球员。三度延长赛令人感到焦虑， 从落後到追上来，看着比赛起起落落，这是无法用言语形容的」。 "We were down three, and you go from thinking you have no chance to having another chance... That was an amazing game. Some of the things we worked on [Thursday] didn't work. Some things did. 「我们落後三分，你会觉得你已经无法再有机会了…这是场令人惊艳的比赛， 礼拜四我们所做的有些练习没有发挥作用，有些有」。 "Our defense obviously has to get better, no question. There are going to be games like this. I certainly don't want 125 points a night. Each day is a learning experienced. To win, even as bad as our defense was, is great." 「毫无疑问，显然我们的防守已经做得好一些。以後也会有像这样的比赛。我真的 不想一场比赛得到125分。每一天都是学习的经验，即使过去我们的防守很差劲， 但赢得胜利的确是很棒的」。 It was roughly midnight, after an 8 p.m. start, when Cheeks met with reporters. He answered what he could, but when someone floated a question about Webber, Cheeks slumped down in his chair, smiled and said: "I'm tired. I really want to answer your question, but I am tired." 比赛从晚上8点打到结束，现在大概已经是半夜了，这时Cheeks还得接受记者访问。 他尽可能的回答所有问题，但是当一名记者问到有关Webber的问题时，Cheeks摊坐 在椅子上笑着说：「我累了，我真的想回答你的问题，但我真的累了」。 --
