Clippers' season is over after 102-99 loss to Spurs in Game 4 The Clippers are swept out of the Western Conference semifinals by San Antonio, which has won its last 18 games. Blake Griffin scores 21 points for Clippers. 快艇在西區準決賽中被馬刺橫掃，而馬刺達成了十八連勝。幹籃哥則在這場比賽得到了 21分。 The Clippers didn't go easily when they could have, when many thought they would have. 快艇在這個系列賽過的很不順利，即便許多人原本抱持樂觀的態度。 They played Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinal series against the San Antonio Spurs right up to the final few seconds of the game Sunday night. 他們在這場比賽撐到了最後幾秒鐘。 Still, in the end, the Clippers dropped a 102-99 decision to the Spurs at Staples Center, getting swept out of the playoffs. 但還是在Staples Center 以99比102輸球，在這個系列賽中被橫掃出局。 Chris Paul had been the Clippers' savior all season, their closer. But he couldn't save the day this time, missing two shots late when the game hung in the balance. CP3在本季救了快艇很多次，但他這場比賽無法回天，錯失關鍵兩球，在拉鋸戰中輸掉了 球賽。 And it was Paul's best game of the series, his 23 points and 11 assists going a long way to help the Clippers. 而這是在這個系列賽中，Paul表現最好的一場，他得到了23分外帶11助攻幫助快艇。 "We had a good season," Paul said. "I think it's a good sign for our team, but there are no moral victories. It's not like, 'Oh, we made it to the playoffs and it's all good and well.' We feel like we should still be playing. "我們有個好球季，"Paul說。"我想這對我們是一個好的現象，但這沒有精神上的勝利。 我們打到了季後賽，這都很好很棒。但我覺得我們不該如此結束，應仍在場上奮鬥的。" "We're going to keep working. We've got some work to do. We obviously have got to get better." "我們將持續努力。我們有一些工作要做。明顯地。我們必須要變得更好。 It'll start with Blake Griffin making improvements in his game. 這都從給力分在這場比賽中的進步說起。 He had 21 points and five rebounds and admitted that he has to make strides in his overall game. 他進步了許多，在這場比賽中拿下了21分外帶5籃板。 Griffin, who can sign a five-year contract extension this summer for up to $95 million, was asked about his future. Griffin，在今年夏季能夠得到一分5年9500萬的續約。 "I haven't given it one ounce of thought," Griffin said. "That's been the farthest thing from my mind, honestly. ... I'll get to that when it comes." "我一點也沒想過這件事情，"BG說。"老實講，這件事情我把它放在很後面...等他到來 的時候再說。" Eric Bledsoe had a good game for the Clippers with 17 points, 11 in the fourth quarter. Blesoe也在這場比賽中表現出色，得到了17分，其中在第四節得到了11分。 DeAndre Jordan played his best game of the playoffs, scoring 10 points, grabbing eight rebounds and blocking three shots. 而DJ本場更是季後賽的最佳表現，得到了10分、8籃板，外帶3個火鍋。 But it wasn't enough because Tim Duncan had 21 points and nine rebounds for the Spurs and Tony Parker had 17 points. 但這樣還不夠好，因為馬刺隊的TD得到了21分9籃板，而法國小跑車得到了17分。 "They are a good team," Griffin said. "Not taking away from them. They played extremely well. "他們是個好球隊"Griffin說，"我們拿他們沒轍，他們打的太好了。" "But it doesn't make us feel any better. This is nothing about that that you can feel good about." "但這並不代表這樣可以讓我們寬心些，這沒有什麼可以安慰我們的。" Paul drove into the teeth of San Antonio's defense and threw up a floater that was an airball with the Clippers trailing, 100-99. Paul進入馬刺的防線，上籃傳球失誤，使比分維持在100-99。 He then fouled Danny Green, who made one of two free throws for a 101-99 Spurs lead with 10.8 seconds left. 之後，他便往Danny Green犯上一規，而Green二罰中一，在比賽剩10.8秒，以101-99 領先。 The Clippers called a timeout with 10.5 seconds left and put the ball in Paul's hands again. 快艇在比賽時間剩下10.5的時候叫了暫停，隨後球又掌控在Paul的手上。 He couldn't deliver again, slipping on the court and missing with 3.9 seconds left. 但他又無法得手，在場上滑了一下，在終場前3.9秒勉強投出，錯失了這一球。 Tony Parker made one of two free throws with 1.7 seconds left for the final margin. TP在終場前1.7秒二罰一中。 "I messed up," Paul said. "Bad decisions. Bad decisions. ... It's all on me." "我搞砸了，"Paul說，"壞的選擇、壞的選擇...這都是我不好。" Paul played with a strained right hip flexor. Paul帶著右髖屈肌拉傷。 Griffin (sprained left knee), Caron Butler (fractured left hand) and Mo Williams (sore right hand) all played. 而Griffin(左膝拉傷)、Butler(左手骨折)、Mo-Will(右手酸痛)都在場上奮戰。 Then Griffin endured more pain after an elbow from Parker cut his lip on a drive in the second quarter. 而Griffin在第二節的一次進攻中被Parker的擊肘傷了嘴唇。 Griffin's top tooth went through his lip, causing him to get four stitches -- two on the inside and two on the outside of his lip. BG的上方牙齒傷了他的嘴唇，因而縫了四針─內外各兩針。 None of that seemed to matter to the Clippers in the fourth and decisive quarter. 但這些看起來和快艇隊的關鍵第四節沒有關係。 They played it up to the end. 他們撐到了比賽最後。 The Spurs have won 18 straight games dating back to the regular season, all eight in the playoffs, including sweeps in the first (Utah Jazz) and second rounds (Clippers). 而馬刺獲得了連著例行賽的18連勝，包括季後賽的全部八場球賽，橫掃爵士和快艇。 They will meet either the Oklahoma City Thunder or the Lakers in the conference finals. 他們將在西區決賽中面對雷霆或者湖人。 "I think it's great that our team got a little taste of the playoffs," Paul said. "在季後賽中獲得這樣的體驗，對我們是好的，"Paul說。 "I think coming into camp next year we are going to expect more, a lot more. It's going to be a big summer for all of us. "我想我們會在明年期待走的更遠，遠的很多。這個暑假我們會過得十分充實。" "I need to get better. Everybody has to get better." "我必須要變得更好。大家都要變得更好。" http://ppt.cc/u2Gz 心得:恭喜馬刺18連勝，快艇明年再接再厲 --
