雖然有提到Lakers，但這篇好像是小牛球迷寫的，所以...

“They’re certainly not the protagonists.”
-Robert Thompson
Robert Thompson*：「他們絕對不是主角。」

Each Maverick game this season has been but another installment in the team’
s plotline. There are ups and downs, triumphs and failures, and hopefully, a
terrific climax following the rising action late in the playoffs.
本季每一場Mavs的比賽都像是小牛劇場。
劇情中有著起伏、勝負，也許還有在季後賽崛起的高潮。

But tonight didn’t feel like a Maverick game. Dallas was merely the backdrop
of the latest Laker adventure, with the Mavs thrown out of the spotlight in
favor of the night’s true protagonists. They showed resolve. They showed
savvy. They fought nobly in the face of adversity, displayed teamwork and
fellowship, and prevailed. The Mavs were simply the extras in the background
while the celebration ensued, a footnote in the epic being written to log the
exploits of the reigning champs.
但今晚簡直不像是Mavs打出來的比賽。
他們變成了客場歷險記的背景，
連鎂光燈都不讓他們搶鏡頭。
Lakers表現出了智慧跟意志力，
展現了團隊合作、彼此信任並且拿下勝利。
今晚的Mavs只是慶祝場景中多餘的一塊，
一部王者史詩的註腳。

...哪有這麼不堪...

From the very beginning, it seemed as if Dallas was fighting an uphill
battle. The Lakers found plenty of early success by jumping on the back of
Andrew Bynum (22 points, 8-11 FG, 11 rebounds). Erick Dampier’s (five
points, four rebounds, two turnovers) return was supposed to provide a
defensive counter to Bynum’s inside presence, but to no avail. Damp couldn’
t slow down Bynum, much less stop him, and the interior D went from bad to
worse when Dampier picked up two early fouls. Drew Gooden (eight points, five
rebounds) is an able big against second units and small lineups, but against
a gifted conventional center like Bynum, he could offer little in the way of
resistance. The center rotation couldn’t even balance their poor defense
with a bit of offense, leaving the rest of the Mavs to counter Bynum’s
efficient night.
從一開始，Dallas就被迫在逆境終努力。
Lakers在Bynum展現禁區力量之下，
本來被期待回歸之後加強防守的Dampier，
似乎並沒有達到原本的期許。
Dampier無法阻擋Bynum，甚至讓他減速都辦不到，
而在Dampier拿下兩次犯規換上Gooden之後，
防守端從狀況不好變成爛透。
Gooden對抗各隊二軍或是矮子隊形還挺的住，
但面對一個天份身材俱佳的傳統中鋒，
他簡直就是坐以待斃。
除了防守端，Mavs的禁區成員在進攻端也無法還手，
全隊只能看著Bynum整晚展現霸氣。

The defensive problems hardly stopped there. Ron Artest (16 points, 5-5 FG,
11 rebounds) was a bull inside, exploiting Josh Howard in the post with
decisive moves and superior size. But perhaps the biggest slap of all came
with the Mavs inability to get stops against the Lakers’ reserves; how is
that a team of starters for a would-be contender fails to gain ground against
a lineup of Jordan Farmar, Shannon Brown, Luke Walton, Josh Powell, and
Andrew Bynum? That’s one starter (albeit on this night, a terribly effective
one) with two rotation players and two deep reserves, and yet stops were a
rarity and easy buckets were nowhere to be found. That is not the kind of
team that the Mavs are supposed to struggle against, and though the Lakers’
 margin of victory is relatively small, that stretch is surely representative
of a larger deficit. The Mavs are struggling.
防守的問題還沒結束咧。
Artest今天在禁區根本就是頭蠻牛，
不管技巧還是身材都打爆了Josh Howard；
但也許最慘的是連Lakers的替補都擋不下來。
一個要搶奪冠軍戒的隊伍，
竟然頂不住Farmar、Shannon、Luke、Powell加Bynum這樣的陣容？
這是一個先發、兩個替補加兩罐開特力耶！
結果還是照樣被輕鬆打，連擋都沒擋住幾次。
這種隊形不該是讓Mavs纏鬥到這種程度的組合。
雖然對於Lakers來說只是一場勝利，
但對於小牛來說，這才是要開始掙扎的症狀。

...把Luke當開特力的人絕對是不瞭解Lakers...

Kobe Bryant (10 points, two rebounds, one assist) was a virtual non-factor in
the first half, as back spasms rendered him an observer on the court. The
ball stayed out of his hands, and the Mavs failed to attack him when in the
half-court offense. Bryant was matched up Marion, and while Shawn does not
have an expansive offensive repertoire, would posting up Bryant be too much
to ask? It’s hard for players with hurt backs to guard mobile opponents, but
it’s also difficult for them to establish a base, bump, and contest down
low. That should have been the Mavs’ primary directive early in the game,
but Marion was hardly a factor in Dallas’ first quarter offense.

因為背傷，Kobe在上半場根本是虛擬人生。
沒怎麼拿到球，Mavs也很好心的沒去打他這個點。
Kobe面對的是Marion。
對付一個背受傷的人，來點低位很過分嗎？
背傷的時候，不但速度快的不好守，
建立在紮實下盤的碰撞、對持球者的下球壓迫也都會是問題。
Mavs應該要趁機打爆Kobe這個點，
但Marion在進攻上完全沒發揮作用。

...面惡心善嘛...

By the second half, Kobe seemed to be more comfortable. Maybe it was the
considerable rest (he didn’t play at all in the second quarter, giving him
thirteen minutes of rest in addition to halftime) afforded him by the Laker
bench, or perhaps a change in approach by L.A.’s training staff. Or perhaps
a recovery of some supernatural nature, a divine right given to the heroes of
our story so that they may rise above. Bryant didn’t do much of the heavy
lifting, but he managed to suck the air out of American Airlines Center with
a go-ahead jumper with 29 seconds remaining. Dirk had just hit the biggest
shot of the night to tie the game 95-all, but we should have known that the
Mavs were simply setting the stage for their opponents’ victory. Josh Howard
later had a chance to send the game to overtime on an open three-pointer, but
leather hit nothing but rim. And instead of thinking that the Mavs fell
short, all I could think was that the Lakers held on. From the opening tip
on, this was their game. It was their story, and they played like it.

第二節之後，Kobe狀況似乎就好多了。
也許是因為替補群提供了足夠休息，
或是醫療團隊的人忽然腦袋清醒。
也有可能是看狀況不對，
三太子就跑來幫英雄加持。
Kobe沒有做什麼驚人之舉，
只不過是用乾坤大挪移凍住了American Airlines Center而已。
他在剩下29秒時投進了一個超前兩分，
緊緊跟在Dirk全場唯一也是最重要的一球追平三分後面，
而這球三分似乎成了湖人劇場的高潮戲份。
之後Josh Howard三分沒進，比賽結束。
與其說是Mavs沒打好，不如說是Lakers頂下來了。
他們從一開始就一直操縱著比賽，
這場球是Lakers的故事，他們的表現也是如此。

後面是對於Dirk跟Jet的講評...
跟Lakers無關就不翻了，
但翻完這篇我才覺得它根本是廢文+心得文+誇張文。

    * Dirk Nowitzki (30 points, 11-22 FG, 16 rebounds, two assists) and Jason
Kidd (11 points, 3-8 3FG, seven rebounds, 11 assists) were sensational. But
Kidd’s timely threes and Dirk’s heroics couldn’t overcome the Mavs’
 defensive shortcomings. It was one of those nights where Dirk reminds you of
just how fantastic of a player he is, and fittingly so, because Nowitzki
notched his 20,000th career point. He’s 38th on the all-time scoring list,
and while it’s easy to say that the Dallas Mavericks have never seen another
player or scorer like him, I’d venture as far as to say that the NBA hasn’
t, either. Dirk is a truly unique talent, a revolutionary, a franchise
savior, and one of the best to ever play the game.
    * Jason Terry (seven points, 2-12 FG, three assists) didn’t offer much
support, and the offense stalled because of it. Terry is so crucial to the
offensive game plan, and when he’s not providing a scoring punch from the
bench (especially on a night where Josh Howard moved into the starting
lineup), he doesn’t offer much at all. That’s painful considering just how
close the Mavs were to a victory, and when considering that the Lakers’
 bench outscored the Mavs’ bench by ten points (31-21).
    * More to come.

穆托姆博的全名至今是個謎，據說光他的姓氏就有55個單詞，「穆托姆博」只是他家族姓
氏中的一部分，這還不包括他本人的名字。現在坊間最流行的一個版本稱穆托姆博的全名
是「Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacque Wamutombo」，但這個名字並沒有
得到穆大叔本人的首肯。
