Game 7 Dreams

by LatinD on Jun 5, 2012 12:21 AM CDT in Editorial



It was a perfect season, the stuff legends are made of.


Winning streaks, developing role players,

playoffs series swept with a flick of the wrist from the corner.


The Spurs is a team that reinvented itself before our eyes,

season by season, until the half-hearted elegies turned into grudging respect.


We only needed the perfect ending

to validate every single second of our magical run.



這曾是一個完美的賽季，有著創造傳奇的一切因素：

連勝，角色球員的變身，季後賽彈指之間的橫掃。


我們見證著馬刺一季季的自我改造，

讓那些客套的慰藉都都變成了對手不得不拿出來的尊重，


我們只需要一個完美的結局，來證明在我們神奇的旅途裡，每一個瞬間都是真實的。



Then we lost, and the world is currently coming down around us.

Lost 3 times in a row, too.


Our first such negative streak since Pop lead the CIA team

to a double overtime victory over the Mossad-MI6 combine in 1965.


We lost game 3,

and our reaction was a calm nod in the Thunder's general direction.


They were a good team, yes.

But it was okay, because we were a better team.

(You cannot write TEAM without Tiago grEen Neal Matt, right?)


Then we lost game 4, and we looked at each other,

worried but trying to find strength in companionship.


One more chance to regain the famous "momentum",

that vague substance that many claim is responsible for tipping the scale

when the BBIQ is comparable.


然後我們輸球了，如今我們的世界正在崩塌。


三連敗。

這是自 Gregg Popovich 在1965年帶領CIA隊

在雙加時賽中擊敗 Mossad-MI6 聯合隊以來最慘的連敗。


輸了第3場後，我們冷靜地面向雷霆，點頭致意。


是的，他們是支很棒的隊伍。

但沒關係，因為我們是支更好的團隊。

(然而，你不能把沒有 Tiago ， D.Green，和 G. Neal 的隊伍稱之為團隊，不是嗎？)


然後輸了第4場，我們互相對望，焦急地試圖從彼此身上找尋依靠。

還剩下一次機會來尋回『勢頭』。


很多人認為，在雙方籃球智商相當的情況下，

這個說不清道不明的『勢頭』足以決定勝利的天平朝哪邊傾斜。


Now we lost the game 5.


If there is one thing I cannot predict,

that is the reaction of the fans in general, and this blog in particular.


Pounding the Rock is mercurial,

yet populated with lots of fans full of irrational optimism.


If I had to guess, I expect lots of venting tomorrow,

but a strong dose of hope built up before gametime on Wednesday.


But you know who doesn't worry me?


You know whose reaction

I can predict with the accuracy of a half-crazed wizened seer living in a cave,

of a mutant fusion of Nostradamus and the Oracle of Delphi,

plus some random I Ching self-help book?


現在我們輸掉了第5場。


如果說存在一件我不能預測的事，

那便是馬刺球迷們的反應，尤其是這個 Blog 裡面的馬刺球迷。


衝擊冠軍充滿了不確定性，但太多的馬刺球迷抱有著盲目的樂觀。


如果一定要我推測，我認為明天雖然會有很多馬刺球迷洩氣了，

但在周三開賽之前，對馬刺的期望仍會很高漲。


但是，現在有一個人不讓我擔心，你知道是誰嗎？

我可以準確地預測他的反應，我預言的準度程度絕不亞於一個住在山里的半仙。



The San Antonio Spurs and Gregg Popovich, fogey coach wonder, that's who.


沒錯，就是那個老頑固 : 聖安東尼奧的傳奇教練，Gregg Popovich。


Tomorrow morning I plan to do my best

to stay away from any and every major sports news source.


However, I sincerely doubt that I will be completely successful

in dodging the Devotees of the Odds,

who will regurgitate something posted by the Elias Bureau

as if ridiculously small samplesand laughable extrapolation of

basketball realities had any pull on this series.


"34 of the last 15 teams blah blah blah. Spurs lose."


It is irrelevant. How many of those teams had Manu Ginobili? Not. Enough.


明早我打算全力遠離所有主流體育新聞資訊。


但是，我真心懷疑我自己能否成功躲開那些拿 Elias Bureau 發布的數據來

計算概率的熱衷者們，

就好像那些少量樣本和可笑的推斷對這個系列賽有任何影響似的。


『34支隊伍中，只有15支球隊blah blah blah，馬刺要輸了。』


毫無意義。


這些隊伍中有幾個有  Manu Ginobili 的？


沒有？  那就夠了。


We have seen what this team is capable of when everything clicks.


We saw it not three games ago, in this series,

during that magical run on the third quarter of game 2.


We saw it last week.


The Thunder have proved to be a formidable team,

built on the shoulders of an unstoppable scorer -

but I know the Spurs can match them. I know it,

because I watched those first two games,

and I watched them play for 66 games in a hellish regular season.


If you are reading this, chance are that you know it too.


Wherever Tony Parker is right now, licking his wounds in private

or drowning his sorrows in smelly cheese and phallic bread,

I assure you that he knows it too.


I am sure that Tim Duncan is right now practicing his three-point jumper

in his mind, taking the shot that he could've taken,

running that final play over and over again.


And I can imagine Manu,

grinding his teeth as I grind mine right now to keep myself

from cursing near my sports-challenged, drowsing Indian roommate,

who views my obssession with basketball as something akin to malaria.


Those three giants of the NBA are on our side,

and they will play their hearts out for 48 minutes on Wednesday.


How can you not hope?


我們見證過這個隊伍在命懸一線的時候的表現。


三場比賽之前，就在這個系列賽，我們還看到過 Game2 第三節的神奇表現。

這些就發生在上週。


雷霆已證明自己是支恐怖的隊伍--以一個無法阻止的得分者為核心--


但我知道，馬刺能夠和他們一拼。

我知道的，因為我見證了前兩場比賽，我看著他們打完了這個煉獄般66場的常規賽。


如果你正在讀這篇文章，那麼你也應該知道的。


不管 Tony Parker 現在在哪裡，

在私下獨自舔舐傷口，或是用奶酪和麵包淹沒悲傷，

我向你保證，他也知道的。


我確信現在 Tim Duncan 正無數次地在腦中練習他的三分跳投，

一遍遍地回想最後那個他本可以一試的跳投。


我甚至可以想像， Manu Ginobili 正咬牙切齒，

正如我現在咬牙切齒般地控制著自己不去詛咒--

而我身邊則有個昏昏欲睡，把我對籃球的痴迷看做是瘧疾的的印度室友。


可這三位NBA巨人站在我們這邊啊，他們在周三會拼盡全力打完這48分鐘。


你怎麼能放棄希望呢？


Those of us who shared those forlorn game threads in the years post-2007

are grizzled veterans of the infamous elimination game.


In previous years, I have asked the Spurs to go down swinging,

to shoot for the moon and hit it right in the middle, to hell with the stars.


I have asked for Popovich to put the game firmly in the hands of Tony,

Tim and Manu, and let the Spurs go as the Spurs will,

because to me those three embodied the Spurs.


Everyone else was secondary.


As I look at this year's do-or-die win-or-go-home game 6,

though, my heart asks for something different.


Despite his current struggles, I want Green to have a part in our victory,

to rediscover that steady hand that led us through many similar comebacks.


I wish Jackson and Diaw could prove their mettle once more,

and transform a good rotation into a spectacular one as they have for aeons

(or weeks, whatever).


And I want Kawhi to soar for a dunk and come back down to shoot a free throw,

nary a smile on his face.


For better or worse, the 2011-12 Spurs are more than Tim, Tony and Manu.


They are a team of great depth,

and when the stars align and the wind fills our sails,

they are the best team in the NBA.


那些一起見證過07年以後淒涼而無望的季後賽的馬刺球迷們，

對這種殘酷的淘汰賽應該不陌生了吧。


在前些年，我期望馬刺能雖敗猶榮，定下遠大目標，堅定地反擊，站在命運的潮頭。


我期望波波能夠把比賽完全地交給 Tony Parker， Tim Duncan 和 Manu Ginobili

帶領馬刺走出自己的路，


因為對於我來說，他們三個就是馬刺的代表。其他人都是配角。


但在今年這個命懸一線、輸球即釣魚的第六場，我卻在盼望著一些不同的東西。


儘管 D. Green 的表現還有些吃力，我希望他能夠幫助我們獲得勝利，

重新找回那份曾帶領我們一次次勇敢地追分的堅定。


我希望 S-Jax 和 Boris Diaw 能夠再一次證明他們的勇氣和堅韌，

找回那些用了很久的（或者幾週吧，隨便了）流暢而驚豔的輪轉。


我希望 K. Leonard 能在完成一個滑翔扣籃後，面無表情地打進一個罰球。


2011-12 的馬刺，絕不僅僅是GDP，所有人都應榮辱與共。

他們是個很有深度的隊伍，他們是NBA最棒的團隊。


斗轉星移，讓我們迎風起航。


It still is a perfect season.


The stuff legends are made of.


Now let's go out and win that fucking game 6.


這仍然是一個完美的賽季，傳奇的劇本。


現在讓我們勇敢地出發吧，贏下這場 fucking game 6。


備註 :


馬刺在本季確實創造了20連勝的偉大紀錄

而雷霆也確實從這支隊伍手中奪下三連勝


明天兩隊的交鋒

絕對是西區冠軍系列賽中 至關重要的一場
