http://0rz.tw/eb5n8 Roger Mason Jr. was there in the Staples Center last June, and he saw it all. Mason去年六月就在Staple Center亲眼目击了一切。 The confetti. The streamers. The Lakers' celebration. 纸片、彩带、湖人队的庆祝活动。 Still technically employed by the Washington Wizards at the time, Mason was just a basketball fan hanging out in Los Angeles, wanting to catch a game. 当时在技术上而言他仍是巫师队的一员，Mason当时仅仅是以一名篮球迷的身分待在LA， 希望可以跟到比赛。 So he watched the Lakers oust the Spurs in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals from the cheap seats. 所以他在便宜的座位上观赏了湖人队在西区冠军赛第五战击败马刺队的过程。 “It was just a fun game to watch,” Mason said. “I never dreamed I'd be in the midst of the rivalry like this.” 「那是一场值得观赏的有趣比赛，」Mason说道。「我作梦都没想过自己可以成为像这样 的对抗中的一份子。」 Yet there Mason was Wednesday night at the AT&T Center, in the silver and black of the Spurs, setting off a celebration of his own. 然而周三晚Mason就身着马刺银黑球衣在AT&T Center启动了属於他自己的庆祝活动。 Mason's bucket-and-the-foul with 10.5 seconds left lifted the Spurs (25-12) to a 112-111 victory over the conference-leading Lakers (31-7), in a thrill-a-second rematch of last season's playoff meeting. Mason在比赛剩下10.5秒时的一次小帐加一，帮助马刺队在这场延续去年季後赛的刺激的 再次对决中，以112-111击败西区龙头湖人队。 The Spurs, after leading for most of the second half, were down 111-109 after Kobe Bryant had drained a 3-pointer over Mason moments earlier. 马刺队，在下半场多数时间领先，在Mason的进球前不久刚被Kobe的三分球给逆转比数成 为111-109。 After a harried inbounds play at midcourt, Mason took a thread-the-needle pass from Matt Bonner in the corner, then knocked down a jumper and drew a foul on Derek Fisher. 在一阵激烈推挤的边线发球中，Mason在角落从人缝中接到了Bonner的传球，接着跳投中 的还造成了Fisher的犯规。 The ensuing free throw — and one more defensive stop, gained with a disputed traveling call on Trevor Ariza — gave the Spurs a victory to cherish, even as it came against a short-handed Lakers team playing on zero days rest. 在接着而来的罚球後-还有一次判在Ariza身上具争议的走步吹判-马刺队得到了这场弥足 珍贵的胜利，即使湖人队有着打背靠背比赛的劣势。 It was Mason's third game-winning shot this season, joining the Christmas Day buzzer-beater to beat Phoenix and a late 3-pointer to beat the Clippers on Nov. 17. 这是Mason本季第三次的绝杀。前两次为圣诞节击败太阳以及十一月十七号击败快艇。 “I've just been in the right place at the right time,” he said. 「我只是在对的时间出现在对的位置，」他说。 For a while, the Spurs appeared poised to be led by a player who might as well have watched the conference finals from the cheap seats, too. 有段时间，马刺队因为一位去年可能也坐在廉价座位观看西区冠军赛的球员的带领下而显 得泰然自若。 Manu Ginobili was severely hobbled with an ankle injury the last time these two teams met. Wednesday officially marked his comeback performance. Manu在两队上一次的交手中受到脚踝伤势的严重影响。周三的表现像是正式宣告着他的复 活。 He finished with a season-high 27 points, including 19 in the first half. 他得到了本季新高的27分，包括上半场的19分。 Ginobili got his first points of the game on a steal and a dunk from Bryant. Thirty seconds later, he zipped past Ariza to finish a layup over Pau Gasol. Manu本场比赛的开胡是在一次由Kobe手中抄截并快攻扣篮时开始。三十秒後，他过了 Ariza并在Gasol面前挑篮得分。 This was the Manu missing from last season's playoff meeting. 这是去年季後赛碰头时的Manu所缺少的。 “I was aggressive, I was feeling good,” Ginobili said. “It helped that I made the first couple of shots to get me going.” 「我很有侵略性，我感觉很棒，」Manu说道。「一开始得手的几次出手对我接下来的表现 帮助很大。」 Later, Ginobili closed the third quarter with a play that was pure Ginobili, taking a pass near midcourt after a Lakers basket, whipping the ball around his back to avoid a defender, and then launching a standard, garden-variety running 29-footer that swished through the net at the horn. 稍後，Manu在第三节的最後一投完全就是最纯的Manu（按：不纯赔头发XD）。在中场附近 接获传球，以一次帅气的背後运球闪避防守球员，接着以一记帅到翻掉的29尺大号三分命 中结束第三节。 That gave the Spurs a 95-87 lead entering the final frame, as well as momentum they would eventually squander by falling behind by three entering the game's final 90 seconds. 那使得马刺队带着95-87的领先进入最後一节，就像比赛终了前九十秒的三分进球般同样 具有鼓舞士气的效果。 The game ended, fittingly, with what Bryant would later call “typical Spurs-Lakers stuff.” 比赛结束了，以Kobe稍後会称呼之的「典型的刺湖大战」方式结束了。 Tim Duncan, who had 20 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, had given the Spurs a one-point lead on a jump hook with 28.9 seconds to go. Bryant followed with a 3-pointer, buried directly in Mason's mug, to put L.A. back on top with 12.6 seconds left. Duncan今晚得到了20分10篮板8助攻，以一记勾射带领马刺队在剩下28.9秒时以一分领先 。接着Kobe趁着Mason给他的空间在剩下12.6秒时三分跳投得手取得领先。 Bryant ended with 29 points, and — had it not been for Mason's ho-hum heroics — would have ripped the Spurs' hearts out. Kobe得了29分，假设没有Mason的英雄式表现，他将会使得马刺队心碎。 The game-winning play went haywire from the beginning. Ginobili was the first option, but he bumped into a teammate and eventually flared instead of cutting. 赢得比赛的致胜一击以非常混乱的方式展开。Manu本来是第一选择，但是他撞上了队友， 最後他只好向外走而非上前接球。 Bonner, attempting to inbound, couldn't find him. This was a problem. Bonner本来打算传给他，但是却找不到他。这可是个大问题。 “There really wasn't a Plan B,” Bonner said. 「我们根本没有B计画阿（囧）」Bonner说。 Meanwhile, time was ticking toward a five-second violation. Out of options, Bonner rifled a pass to Mason in the near corner, with Fisher draped all over him. 就在同时，即将被吹判发球五秒。没有选择的Bonner只好将球传给就在附近角落的Mason ，还伴随着如影随形在侧的Fisher。 Mason caught the ball and let it go just inside the 3-point line, pausing long enough for Fisher to bump him. Mason接到了球并带一步进三分线内，等了Fisher一下好让他跳上来。 The last time the Lakers were in the building, they walked away a Game 4 winner after Fisher wasn't called for a foul on Brent Barry. This time, the Spurs got the whistle they wanted last June. 上一次在这个赛馆内，湖人队因为Fisher逃过一劫未被吹判犯规而赢得比赛。这一次，马 刺队得到了去年六月他们所期待的哨音。 Mason's shot went through the net for the tie. He made the free throw for the go-ahead point. Mason的跳投使得比数追平。接着的加罚让马刺队超前比数。 No confetti. No streamers. But, soon, the celebration was on. 没有纸片、没有彩带。但是，很快地，庆祝活动就启动了。 There in the middle of it, on the court instead of in the stands, was Mason. Mason就身处这个庆祝活动的场中而非站在观众席。 “I could never imagined something like this,” Mason said. “But it's the type of thing you hope for.” 「我没办法想像像这样的事情发生，」Mason说。「但这确确实实就是你会希望它发生的 类型。」 --
