[外電] Lakers-Celtics still has a nice ring to it

湖人跟超賽還有機會再相逢。

Yes, it's only February. It's also never too early to start the hype. That
actually started the day the Lakers traded for Pau Gasol.

現在才二月，yeah，但是提到這兩支隊伍的對戰可能，總是不嫌早。特別是在

湖人找來了砲嘎獸這樣的大個之後。

Lakers- Celtics in the NBA Finals.

想像一下，湖人VS超賽，總冠軍戰。

Then the Lakers started winning, started looking dominant, and suddenly had
the best record in the Western Conference, 39-17. We knew the Celtics were
good, and they still are, with the best record in the East, as well as the
league, 43-12.

湖人開始贏球，突然地，開始主宰了西區，39-17。

而我們也了解超賽很棒，而且不但是東區第一，也是聯盟的，43-12。

The whisper became a roar, a crescendo of anticipation, helped along by daily
screams of delight from the NBA offices in New York.

這氣氛逐漸加溫，延燒到了在紐約的NBA辦公室。

Valium and cold showers, David Stern. It'll be June soon.

洗完澡該吃藥了，屎騰。六月很快就來了。(註:Valium是鎮定劑)

The Celtics played the Clippers at Staples on Monday night and won't get any
closer than two time zones from L.A. the rest of the season.

超賽在週一晚上會對上快艇，而此後再也不會靠近洛城了。

Unless.

除非..

Lakers-Celtics. It still has that ring, probably always will.

嗯哼，你們知道的，還能在那兒碰上呢?<(￣︶￣)>

The Lakers played the Celtics in the Finals six times in the 1960s and lost
them all. It was the era of Jerry West and Elgin Baylor and, at the end, Wilt
Chamberlain, against Bill Russell and the Joneses, Sam and K.C., as well as
John Havlicek.

在60年代，湖人曾經在總冠軍賽輸給了超賽六次呢!

那是個有West，Baylor，到後來，還有張伯倫跟羅素競爭的年代。

(還有一些我沒有提出的阿伯，很抱歉，我真的不熟╮(￣﹏￣)╭)

The Lakers lost again in the Finals to the Celtics in '84, but then won in
'85 and '87. Those were the Magic-Bird years, along with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
James Worthy, Kevin McHale, et al. It was Lakers Showtime and an era and
rivalry often credited with sending the league to its current high levels of
wealth and popularity.

到了84年，湖人又在一次送了金盃給超賽，不過85年和87年，就換他們請客了。

那是個有魔術，天鉤，黑炫風渥錫，大鳥，長臂猿海爾的精采對戰。

也是這段show time年代，帶給了聯盟更高層次的發展。

The Celtics went away then, as Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls dominated
the East and the league, and in the early part of this decade, Kobe and Shaq
got the Lakers three more titles. None, however, against the Celtics.

超賽漸漸沒落，公牛群起，統治了那個時代。而最近十年的事。不用我說，

俠客+小飛俠，三連霸。而且，都跟超賽無關。

Now, the sense of here-we-go-again has Beantown and Hollywood getting giddy.

而現在，似乎該是重新上演這齣好戲的時候了。

Yes, the Celtics will have a few hurdles to clear in the playoffs in the form
of Detroit and/or Cleveland, maybe even Orlando.

沒錯，超賽有些麻煩要解決，比如壞孩子活塞，克里夫蘭皇帝隊，也有可能是

奧蘭多超人(?)魔術隊。

And yes, the Lakers' playoff task will be daunting, just to get to the
Finals. Right now, San Antonio has the second-best record in the West,
followed closely by Phoenix, New Orleans and Dallas. If it were a NASCAR
race, they'd say they were separated by a coat of paint.

不過湖人這邊更刺激啊!馬刺緊追在後，然後是大太陽，黃蜂和小牛。如果說

這是車賽的話，可能就像在開碰碰車一樣刺激。

Even more intriguing is the side story of a Lakers-Celtics Finals. Phil
Jackson, Lakers coach. Has won a record nine NBA titles, six with the Bulls
and three with the Lakers. It is a prestigious record, but he shares it with
the late Red Auerbach, who was not always kind in his assessment of Jackson's
coaching success.

更讓人玩味的是，湖人跟超賽的小插曲。禪師爺爺，湖人現任教頭。有9次冠軍紀錄。

這可是個響噹噹的紀錄，但他總是願意跟奧敗氣分享，而奧敗氣可不吃這一套。

他對禪師爺的執教總是稍嫌刻薄、質疑。

The tone was always something along the lines of: You had Michael Jordan, how
could you lose?

就是這個調調:你有喬神，那A輸?

For Jackson, breaking the record against Auerbach's Celtics would be sweet,
even if he might not admit it.

而打破奧敗氣紀錄的當然很蘇湖，即使他不承認。

Monday night, little more than a scrimmage for the Celtics in their 104-76
victory against a Clippers team that is injured and hapless and looking
increasingly indifferent, offered a good chance to turn up the volume on the
Lakers-Celtics hype.

周一的夜晚，洛城的兄弟被超賽做掉之後，也偷偷希望洛城老大可以幫他們報仇。

(註:原文說湖人VS超賽的宣傳車更囂張了，音量被調高)

To that end, we put to use an NBA expert who shall remain anonymous because
he wants it that way. Trust us on this. He knows more about the game and the
league than all but perhaps a handful at Staples on Monday night.

而最後，我們要引用某位堅持要匿名之專家的說法。他比任何人都了解聯盟手法

但是對於這場比賽倒是有點不解。


以上，翻譯完畢。最後一段希望有專家解釋，我照字面翻譯看出不特別意思。

>_<感謝補完了，拜託。
