Lakers History湖人簡史之五 1952-53: Basketball's First Dynasty 1952-53：聯盟史上第一個王朝 來源：http://0rz.tw/f949m The 1952-53 Lakers outmuscled the Royals during the regular season to finish atop the Western Division by a four-game margin. Mikan's scoring output dipped a notch to 20.6 points per game, second best in the league. He was joined in the NBA's top 10 by teammate Vern Mikkelsen, who finished eighth with 15.0 points per game. Mikan led the league in rebounding, pulling down 14.4 boards per contest. 1952-53年球季湖人又是與皇家戰到最後才以四場的差距拿下分組龍頭。Mikan的得分下降 到平均只有20.6分，聯盟第二名。不過他得到了一位聯盟前十的隊友，Vern Mikkelsen平 均15.0分聯盟第八的幫助。Mikan仍然在聯盟籃板掛帥，每場14.4個。 In the playoffs the Lakers and the Knickerbockers marched toward an NBA Finals rematch. Minneapolis whipped past Indianapolis and Fort Wayne in the preliminary rounds. Meanwhile, in the Eastern Division, New York downed the Baltimore Bullets and then the Boston Celtics. 季後賽湖人與尼克再次在總冠軍賽對上。明尼阿波里斯在頭兩輪打爆了Indianapolis以及 Fort Wayne，而尼克也同樣在另一組幹掉了巴爾的摩子彈以及波士頓賽爾提克。 The NBA Finals opened in Minneapolis, and the Knicks stunned the Lakers with an eight-point win in Game 1. Minneapolis barely beat the Knicks in Game 2, winning by a slim two-point margin. The next three games were scheduled for New York, and with the series tied at one game apiece, the Knickerbockers had hopes of unseating the defending champions. But the Lakers would have none of that. They took all three contests at Madison Square Garden to win the series and become the NBA's first repeat champs. With four championships in five years (including the BAA crown in 1949), the Lakers staked a claim as professional basketball's first dynasty. 決賽在明尼阿波里斯開打，尼克第一場就以八分差給湖人上了一課，而且明尼阿波里斯第 二戰也差點贏不了，只以兩分的差距獲勝。接著三場要到紐約舉行，帶著1-1平手的戰績， 尼克希望能篡位得金牌。但湖人無視客場的劣勢，在麥迪遜花園廣場連拿三場拿下系列， 成為聯盟史上第一次連霸。五年內四冠（包括1949年在BAA的一冠），湖人建立了職業籃球 史上第一個王朝。 待續... --
