Miami Heat season on brink after another lopsided home loss to Spurs
在另一次主場被馬刺屠殺後熱火的球季已處在崩潰的邊緣 http://tinyurl.com/ltjnrcf
The Heat suffers its second home blowout loss in a row to the Spurs to fall
into a 3-1 hole and put its hopes of a three-peat in jeopardy.
熱火在主場連續兩次被馬刺打爆, 被推向了3-1落後的懸崖邊, 他們真的希望能展現出背
水一戰、破釜沉舟、越挫越勇、險中求勝、死裡逃生的逆轉勝
On their plane ride from San Antonio to Miami on Monday morning, the Heat’s
players had momentum and home-court advantage, and there was a very real
belief that a third consecutive championship was only three victories away.
當他們這週一從聖安東尼奧搭機返回邁阿密備戰時, 熱火有著堅若磐石的主場優勢, 且
大家真的都相信第三座冠軍金盃只有三場勝利之遙
The return trip to Texas will have a decidedly different feel.
但今日, 準備搭機去德州時, 雕欄玉砌應猶在, 只是朱顏改....三場勝利的距離沒變,
備戰心情卻天差地遠了
After losing a pair of games at home in the NBA Finals, the Heat now must win
three consecutive games to accomplish its dynastic goal.
主場二連敗之後, 熱火面臨到必須連贏三場才能完成他們三連霸的宿願了
Of all the magic this team has conjured in its past three postseasons, a
comeback from a 3-1 series deficit to these revenge-driven San Antonio Spurs
would be the biggest trick of all.
面對前來復仇的馬刺跟3-1的窘境, 前三次季後賽熱火所有展現過的神蹟, 這次若要再
順利施展來逆轉勝可能是難度最高的一次
In Game 3, the Spurs simply couldn’t miss. In Game 4 on Thursday night, the
Heat simply looked ready for the offseason.
第三戰馬刺有著勢在必得的覺悟, 第四戰後, 熱火看來已經準備好要去放暑假了
For the second game in a row, the Spurs ran laps around the two-time
defending champions in the first half, but this time the Heat didn’t even
give chase. It ended in a 107-86 victory for the Spurs, who now stand just
one victory away from their fifth championship of the Tim Duncan era. The
first was in 1999.
今天跟上一戰一樣, 上半場對付熱火這兩屆總冠軍隊, 馬刺再次打出了大量的跑動, 不
同的是今天熱火跟不上了, 最終讓馬刺以107-86拿下第四戰的勝利, 距離叮噹肯的第五
枚冠軍戒只有一場勝利的距離, 他的第一枚戒指是在1999年拿到的
Game 5 of the Finals is on Sunday night at San Antonio’s AT&T Center.
第五戰是在馬刺主場
A dunk by Duncan gave the Spurs a 21-point lead in the third quarter, and,
following a missed three-point attempt by Ray Allen, Spurs forward Kawhi
Leonard answered with a demoralizing three-pointer of his own to make it
Spurs 73, Heat 49. The Heat called timeout with 3:48 left in the period, and
Spurs reserve Patty Mills ran onto the court waving a towel in celebration.
第三節叮噹肯一次灌籃讓馬刺領先到21分, 接著在雷神三分失手後, 可愛立馬回敬了顆
徹底擊垮熱火軍心的三分球, 讓比數來到73-49, 此時熱火喊了暫停, 但馬刺的P.Mills
已經在場邊揮舞著毛巾開心的慶祝了
Either in protest of Mills’ celebration or just in objection to the Heat’s
poor play, fans began booing as the Heat walked to its bench.
主場球迷開始鼓譟大噓走向板凳區的熱火, 不知道是在抗議Mills的無禮慶祝, 還是熱火
今天爛透了的表現
The Heat did a lot of walking on this night.
Miami began showing signs of fatigue during the first quarter. By the fourth,
Dwyane Wade was simply losing his dribble in transition for turnovers.
第一節熱火就露出了疲態, 第四節Wade甚至還在運球時輕易的掉球失誤
No one looked particularly sharp for the Heat, but Wade’s struggles were
pronounced. He finished 3 of 13 from the field for 10 points and was subbed
out of the game with five minutes to play.
熱火今天沒有人看來有格外專注在贏球上, 但Wade今天的鳥表現特別被點了出來, 13投
3中拿下10分的Wade, 賽末前5分鐘被拉下場休息
LeBron James finished with 28 points, going 10 of 17 from the field, 4 of 8
from three-point range and 4 of 6 from the free-throw line. He left the game
with the Heat trailing by 22 points with 3:38 remaining and ripped the
compression sleeve off his arm in disgust. James gave the Heat a momentary
spark in the third quarter with 10 points in four minutes, but the Heat
trailed by double digits for the entire second half.
詹皇˙喇叭砍下28分, 17投10中, 包含三分球8中4顆, 另外罰球6中4, 他在賽末前3:38
熱火落後22分時離場, 生氣的撕破了護臂, 他在第三節四分鐘內連拿10分帶給熱火些許
追上的希望, 無奈隊友不爭氣, 熱火整個下半場都處在兩位數落後的窘境
A three-pointer by Allen cut the Spurs’ lead to nine points with 6:27 left
in the second quarter. That was the only time in the final 36 minutes of the
game that the Spurs’ lead dropped below 10 points.
第二節6:24時雷神轟進一顆三分讓分差只剩9分, 這是第一節過後熱火唯一一次比分只
落後個位數的小確幸時光
For the second consecutive game, Leonard led the Spurs in scoring and now
should be considered the frontrunner for Finals MVP. He finished with 20
points, going 7 of 12 from the field and 1 of 3 from three-point range, after
scoring 29 points in Game 3.
連兩場可愛˙Leonard都拿下全隊最高分, 現在甚至有希望競逐FMVP, 今天他12投7中拿
下20分, 包含三分球3中1, 上一場可愛則有29分的表現
On Tuesday, Leonard was the driving force behind the Spurs handing the Heat
its first loss of the postseason at AmericanAirlines Arena. In his encore,
Leonard snapped the Heat’s run of 13 consecutive postseason victories after
a loss.
在第三戰, 可愛是馬刺攻勢的主動力, 熱火因此被破了季後賽主場金剛不敗之身;
再者, 今天第四戰, 熱火季後賽敗後必勝的13連勝又是被可愛硬生生畫下句點
Spurs guard Tony Parker had 19 points, and Duncan finished with 10 points and
11 rebounds. The Spurs outrebounded the Heat 44-27.
順帶一提, 趴車19分, 叮噹肯10分11籃板, 團隊籃板數馬刺以44-27壓過熱火
For the Heat, it all fell apart during the second quarter.
熱火, 則是在第二節裡分崩離析
“Our main concern is putting our best game forward,” Heat coach Erik
Spoelstra said before the game.
That didn’t happen.
昨晚不曉得有沒有喝光老闆送的三瓶紅酒的˙師婆表示 "最重要的是把我們最好的表現
出來" 但這並沒有發生
There were many ways to describe statistically the Heat’s ineffectiveness in
the first half, but here are the four best, or worst, depending on the
perspective:
對於上半場熱火所表現出來的低效率, 我們能用很多數據上的角度來說明, 以下是四個
最好or最壞的說來給大家聽聽, 好或壞就看你用什麼角度去看囉
