'Coach is going through a lot': Warriors beat Blazers despite Kerr's illness
「此刻，我們的教練正在經歷很多事情，身體上的病痛。」
Stephen Curry scored 34 points — including a three-pointer with a minute left that all but sealed the victory — and the Golden State Warriors overcame a slow start to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 119-113 and take a 3-0 lead in their first-round playoff series.
Curry第三戰得了34分，打敗拓荒者，取得三連勝。
Playing without both Kevin Durant and coach Steve Kerr, the Warriors came back Saturday night from a first-half 17-point deficit. Afterward, Curry said he gave the game ball to general manager Bob Myers to give to Kerr, who stayed back at the team hotel because of illness.
此戰儘管少了總教練和Kevin Durant，在這個星期六晚上，
勇士仍克服了最多落後17分的處境，取得這場勝利。
“ Our coach is going through a lot right now, physically,” Curry told ESPN. “He told us this morning this is a situation where we need to rally and go out and win a game for him. But we felt that the way the game had gone, we had to fight and do it for him ... and the way that he said it was that we had to win one for the Gipper. So, shout out to Coach Kerr. ”
「此刻，我們的總教練正在經歷很多事情，身體上的病痛。」Curry如此表示：
「今早，總教練告訴我們，這是一場我們需要為他贏得的比賽。
聞此，儘管我們覺得這場比賽的勝利方程式已經不見了，
但我們仍得需要為總教練而戰！」

Warriors assistant Mike Brown stood in for Kerr, who still experiences lingering symptoms from complications following two back surgeries after the franchise’s run to the 2015 championship. He missed the first 43 games last season dealing with symptoms such as headaches, nausea and an aching neck.
Despite his prolonged absence, the Warriors went 73-9 last season and played in the NBA championship game. Kerr was named Coach of the Year. “I don’t know all of the circumstances,” Brown said before the game. “He’s just not feeling well, and we’ll see how he feels later on.”
Golden State can clinch the series with a win on Monday night in Game 4 at the Moda Center.
“It’s not necessarily ‘hero ball,’ it’s being aggressive in those spots that you have,” Curry said. “You might need to force the issue. That might mean taking a shot, it could be trying to get your feet in the paint and make a play, defensively trying to assert yourself — whatever the game calls for, getting ready for those moments.”
Klay Thompson added 24 points in the victory, which Curry said was marked by a handful of “boneheaded mistakes” in the first half. A 19-1 run in the third quarter brought the Warriors back.
The Warriors took a 108-100 lead, their biggest of the game, after Andre Iguodala’s dunk with 4:05 to go. Noah Vonleh’s dunk got Portland within four at 110-106 with 1:29 left, but Curry answered with a three-pointer that sent fans streaming for the exits.
CJ McCollum led the Blazers with 32 points, while Damian Lillard added 31. No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in the playoffs. “I don’t think it’s ever been done, coming back from 3-0, especially against a team like Golden State,” Lillard said afterward. “But I’m sure a lot of you guys know I’m not one to quit and I’m very optimistic.”
Portland saw the return of big man Jusuf Nurkic after he missed the final seven games of the regular season and the first two playoff games at Golden State because of a fracture in his right leg. A seven-footer known as the Bosnian Beast, Nurkic finished with two points and 11 rebounds.
The Warriors routed the Blazers 110-81 in Game 2 on Wednesday night. Durant injured his left calf in the third quarter of Sunday’s 121-109 Game 1 victory, but finished with 32 points and 10 rebounds. Matt Barnes (right ankle/foot sprain), and Shaun Livingston (right index finger sprain) were also out for the Warriors.
The Warriors defeated the Blazers in five games in the second round last season, en route to the NBA Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The surprising Blazers got past the Los Angeles Clippers in the opening round after falling to a 2-0 deficit.
Golden State finished atop the conference this season with the best overall record in the NBA (67-15). The Blazers finished eighth after a late-season surge that saw them go 17-6 after 1 March.
Since you’re here …
… we’ve got a small favour to ask. More people are reading the Guardian than ever, but far fewer are paying for it. Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. The Guardian’s independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters –
because it might well be your perspective, too.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps to support it, our future would be much more secure.

感想：
Curry這段話，好像湘北對陵南的經典戰役，
他們今晚去醫院抬總教練慶祝了嗎XD
希望Kerr沒事:)
