Allen (28) shining Star for the East By Marc J. Spears Globe Staff / February 18, 2008 NEW ORLEANS - Celtics guard Ray Allen went from an NBA All-Star replacement to competing with LeBron James for the MVP award last night. 替補上陣的雷槍演出大驚奇。（RayGun for MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!） Allen scored 14 of his game- and All-Star career-high 28 points in the fourth quarter during the Eastern Conference's 134-128 victory over the Western Conference last night at the sold-out New Orleans Arena. The eight-time All-Star, who replaced injured forward and fellow ex-UConn star Caron Butler, made 10 of 14 field goal attempts and nailed 5 of 9 3-point attempts in 28 minutes. Despite Allen's heroics, MVP honors went to Cleveland's LeBron James, who had 27 points, 9 assists, and 8 rebounds for the East. 雷槍射下全場最高的28分，包括第四節射了14分，成為東區以134-128獲勝的大功臣。這 位八次入選全明星隊的射手今年是以替補受傷的 C.Butler的身分上場，他在短短的19分 鐘內14投10中，在三分線外則是9投5中。但是雷槍的超讚表現還是沒能讓他得到MVP，取 而代之的是小皇帝，他以27分9助攻8籃板準大三元的表現搶下MVP。 "I didn't think about it," said Allen about being up for the MVP award. "I didn't even know how many points I had until I did the interview afterwards. Those points add up, most definitely." 「我沒想過（要拿下MVP），」當雷槍被問到關於MVP票選一事時，他說，「我連自己得了 幾分都不知道，還是賽後訪問時有人告訴我的。重要的是這些分數加起來足夠幫助我們拿 到勝利（這句翻的不是很確定）」。 Celtics forward Paul Pierce, who wasn't available for comment, had 10 points on 5-of-9 shooting, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists in 12 minutes. Boston's Kevin Garnett did not play because of an abdominal strain; the Celtics had three All-Stars for the first time since Larry Bird, Robert Parish, and Kevin McHale in 1988. 超塞另一位入選All-Star team的皮爾斯未對此事作出評論，他上場12分鐘，並以9投5中 的命中率拿下10分，外帶4板2助攻。被球迷票選先發的KG則是因為腹部受傷未能出賽。這 是超塞隊史上第二次有三位球員同時入選明星賽，第一次是在1988年，當時的三名球員分 別是大鳥、「酋長」派瑞許和麥克海爾。 The Celtics' Doc Rivers, who coached the East, had no problems with James receiving MVP honors. 東區明星隊總教練河流說小皇帝的MVP當之無愧。 "It would have been nice for Ray, too, no doubt about it," Rivers said. "But was great for Ray in this, he was not an original pick and he should have been." "I'm happy to be here in New Orleans, enjoying the city, despite the stuff that's happened with this beautiful city," Garnett said. "I'm disappointed that I'm not playing, period." 「當然，如果是雷槍拿下（MVP）更好，」河流說，「有雷槍在真好，他雖然是以替補身 分入選，但他絕對具有這個資格」。「我很高興能到紐奧良來，雖然這個城市曾遭受到如 此大的災難，但我仍對到此感到很享受，」KG說，「但是我對於沒法上場比賽仍然感到失 望」。 There were concerns whether New Orleans could be a solid host post Hurricane Katrina. Rivers and Allen, however, thought "The Big Easy" did a wonderful job. "New Orleans should be extremely proud of the way this thing was run this week," Rivers said. 雖然在卡翠娜颶風肆虐後，紐奧良是否能夠舉辦一場好的明星賽一直是個問題，但是河流 和雷槍都認為這次的明星賽辦的很棒。「紐奧良應該為他們在這禮拜作出的成果感到驕傲 。」河流說。 Said Allen: "New Orleans, they put on a great show. And then the game . . . the game was definitely one of the more fun games I've participated in. So overall, I would have to say it's probably been my best All-Star Game so far." 雷槍則說：「紐奧良讓我看到一場精采的秀，並且明星賽本身也很棒，絕對是我曾參與過 最棒的比賽之一。所以整體來看，我會說這次的明星賽是我目前最棒的一次經驗」。 With Rivers and West coach Byron Scott of the Hornets, the game had two African-American coaches for just the second time since the mid-season classic started 54 years ago. The only other time it happened was in 1975 with Washington's K.C. Jones of the East and Golden State's Al Attles of the West. 河流和史考特這對東西區明星教練也是自明星賽舉辦以來，第二次同時兩位明星隊教練都 是非裔美國人，前一次是在1975年，當時K.C Jones和Al Attler分別為東西區教練。 "It's fantastic, to be honest with you, especially with what Doc went through last year in Boston, to get that team back up there," Scott said. "Obviously, the first year I was here we won 18 games and now we're 36-15. To me it shines the light on just two very good basketball coaches. 「（成為明星賽教練）真是太神奇了，特別是河流在經歷過上一季的慘狀後，現在居然又 把他的隊伍帶到這個境界（指東區第一），」史考特說，「當然我自己第一年在紐奧良也 只拿了18勝，不過我們現在可是36勝15負。我想我們都稱的上是非常好的教練」。 "It's not much about our race, it's more about what we've done in our professions. So I think that should be more what it's all about than the color of our skin." 「我們的血緣為何並不重要，重要的是我們對我們職業所作出的奉獻。我想這點比我們的 膚色為何更需被注目。」 There was much ado made about whether the Lakers' Kobe Bryant should play for the West because of a right pinkie injury. Bryant had to play, however, because he played in LA's last regular-season game before All-Star weekend. Bryant ended up starting and came out the game for Phoenix's Steve Nash with 9:13 left in the first quarter after touching the ball only twice without taking a shot. Scott said he was given orders by the NBA to play Bryant as little as possible. "Our interest in Kobe is making sure when the game is over that he's relatively healthy," Scott said. Kobe在明星賽只打了2分多鍾，史考特接到指令要讓Kobe早點休息。「我們對Kobe的要求 是確保他能健康走出球場。」史考特說。 The East owned a 74-65 lead at halftime, getting 12 points each from Orlando's Dwight Howard and James. Pierce had 6 points at halftime, Allen 5. Allen and Pierce combined for 13 points in the third quarter to push the East's lead to 106-93. Before the fourth quarter, Garnett and former NBA legend Karl Malone thanked New Orleans."God bless each and every one of you," Garnett said. 東區在上半場以74-65領先，其中皮爾斯貢獻6分，雷槍則是小試身手拿下5分。他們兩個 在第三節聯手攻進13分，幫助東區擴大領先優勢到106-93。在第四節開始前，KG和卡爾馬 龍一起為紐奧良的表現致謝。「願上帝給你們祝福。」KG說。 The West took the lead, 112-110, at the 6:52 mark of the fourth on a Dirk Nowitzki lay-in. Allen's 3-pointer with 3:14 left gave the East a 119-118 lead, and another trey by Allen tied the game at 122 with 2:26 remaining. Yet another long-distance make by Allen gave the East a 125-122 lead with 1:58 remaining. 西區在第四節剩6:52時反倒以112-110超前，這時雷槍秀開始了。他先在比賽剩下3:14秒 時射進一顆，幫助東區搶回一分領先119-118，接著在短短48秒內又進一球把比數扳平， 最後以一顆大號三分讓東區在最後1:58又取得3分領先。 "I knew I was going to get some good shots off," Allen said. "It was just a matter of whether or not I made them. But I was feeling good out there." Said James: "Ray hit some big shots." 「我知道我必須找些好機會出手，」雷槍說，「接下來只是進或不進的問題了。不過我出 手時的手感都不錯。」小皇帝則說：「雷槍太會射了，他進了好幾個關鍵球。」 James gave the East a 127-125 lead with a strong dunk though the lane with 55.5 seconds left. Allen got the East the ball back by taking a charge on local standout Chris Paul with 46.1 seconds left. Allen, who nailed 4 of 5 shots and those three treys in the fourth, sealed the win for the East with a layin with 15.4 seconds left. "Ray made shots, LeBron made plays, and we won the game," Rivers said. 小皇帝驚天一扣，東區在剩下不到一分鐘時又奪回領先127-125。在剩下46.1秒時雷槍作 了CP3一次進攻犯規，幫東區要回球權，他接下來4罰3中，並且在最後15.4秒上籃得手， 也確保東區拿下勝利。「雷槍負責射，小皇帝作為攻擊重心，這就是我們的勝利方程式。 」河流說。 -- 雷槍可惜了 希望下半季的表現跟今天一樣火熱 最後還是要說一下RayGun for MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --
