Lakers History湖人簡史之四 1951-52: NBA Tries To Slow Down "Big George" 1951-52：聯盟試著降低"大喬治"的威力 The NBA widened the foul lane before the 1951-52 season in an attempt to slow Mikan, but the rule change had a minimal effect on "Big George." He still averaged 23.8 points, but he lost the scoring title to Paul Arizin, a sharp-shooting forward with the Philadelphia Warriors. 聯盟在1951-52球季前把禁區擴大，此舉是為了限制Mikan的威力，但似乎對"大喬治"的影 響不大。他仍然平均拿到23.8分，不過得分王寶座卻讓給了Paul Arizin（這位是將跳投發 揚光大的一代球星），這位Philadelphia Warriors（金州勇士的前身）的超準前鋒。 The Lakers went into the campaign with essentially the same lineup. Rochester took the Western Division crown by a game, but the Lakers ousted the Royals in four games in the division finals to set up an NBA Finals matchup between the Lakers and the New York Knickerbockers. 本季的陣容基本上都沒變。羅徹斯特再次以一場之差拿下分組龍頭，但湖人在分組決賽中 四場淘汰掉皇家，進入決賽對上New York Knickerbockers（Knicks）。 Minneapolis took Game 1 at St. Paul but needed overtime to do so. The Knicks prevailed in Game 2. Back in New York, Games 3 and 4 were played at the 69th Regiment Armory instead of at Madison Square Garden because the circus was in town. The teams split those games, and Games 5 and 6 as well. Game 7 was all Minneapolis. The Lakers pounded out an 82-65 win at home to claim their second NBA crown in three years. 明尼阿波里斯在聖保羅（當時湖人主場）經過延長賽拿下第一戰，尼克贏得第二戰。回到 紐約，第三第四戰在69街的Regiment Armory舉行而非麥迪遜花園廣場，因為有馬戲團在那 表演。這兩隊又各拿一場，第五六戰也一樣。第七戰就被明尼阿波里斯宰制了，湖人以 82-65主場獲勝，在三年內拿下兩座NBA總冠軍。 待續... --
