Jazz Strengthen Case for Home-Court Advantage
主場魔獄火正夯 雞塊下鍋嘟嘟好
By DOUG ALDEN
Utah 124, Denver 97
SALT LAKE CITY, April 12 (AP) -- It was scary for Utah when Denver rallied
from a 16-point deficit to take a brief lead, then downright horrifying when
star guard Deron Williams went crashing to the floor on a flagrant foul.
當金塊由16分落後一路追趕到變成小幅超前，
明星後衛蝶龍又被惡性犯規慘摔落地的時候，
猶他的隊員們紛紛驚覺自己的褲襠裡傳來一陣臊味。
The Jazz survived both Saturday night and stayed in contention for home-court
advantage in the first round of the playoffs by beating the Nuggets 124-97.
幸好漏尿的情況馬上獲得控制，
最終猶他仍舊以124-97大勝金塊，
往爭取季後賽首輪主場優勢的路上又近了一步。
"It was a big win. We can still get home-court advantage if we win out," said
Williams, who finished with 19 points and 11 assists.
「這場勝利意義重大，我可是希望季後賽還能在家多打點球。」
拿下19分11助攻的蝶龍如此說道。
Williams also had a bruise after landing on his backside after a flagrant
foul by Carmelo Anthony during a 12-2 run that put the Jazz up for good late
in the third quarter. Williams averages 19 points and more than 10.5½assists
for the Jazz, so his teammates and Utah's fans anxiously waited for him to
get up as he stayed on the floor under the basket in obvious pain.
正當第三節後半猶他好不容易打出一波12-2的高潮之際，
甜瓜的一次惡性犯規卻讓蝶龍整個人背脊直接著地，
突如其來的劇痛使他躺了好一會兒才有辦法勉強起身，
隊友們與滿場觀眾當時可說是心急如焚。
"I thought it was a tough foul, but I didn't think it was a flagrant foul,"
Denver coach George Karl said. "I didn't think 'Melo had any desire to hurt
Deron."
「下手的確是重了點，但應該還不到惡性犯規的地步吧？」
卡爾老爹說：「我想甜瓜應該不會對蝶龍有慾望才對呀？」
The Jazz can't afford to lose their top playmaker and second-leading scorer.
They also can't afford any more losses as they try to make a late run in the
Western Conference standings and secure the home court for the opening round.
阿爵可沒本錢失去這位場上教練與隊上的第二得分手，
同樣也沒本錢因為輸球而失去在西區季後賽取得主場優勢的可能性。
Utah moved within 1.5 games of Houston, which visits Denver on Sunday and
Utah on Monday, and San Antonio for the No. 3 spot in the Western Conference.
阿爵現在跟火箭、馬刺都還剩1.5場的勝差。
Mehmet Okur added 20 points and 15 rebounds for the Jazz, who won three of
four against their Northwest Division rivals for the third straight season
and kept the Nuggets from moving closer to the final Western Conference
playoff berth.
土耳其大白個兒今晚再度狂得20分15籃板，
使阿爵在過去四季與金塊的對戰系列中三度取勝，
也讓金塊今晚想要一舉闖入季後賽的希望無法如願。
Denver still controls its own postseason destiny with two games remaining,
but the Nuggets did little to help themselves Saturday as they closed out a
four-game road trip.
基本上金塊仍然掌握了取得季後賽最末席的主控權，
只是這波客場四連戰的最終場他們竟然輸給了自己。
The Jazz had 37 assists on 50 field goals and outrebounded the Nuggets 44-36.
Denver gave Utah a little more help by going 24-for-40 from the foul line.
守望相助的阿爵全場送出37次助攻，還有50%的命中率，
除了籃板比對手要多8個，金塊投40中24的鳥罰球也幫了阿爵大忙。
The Nuggets host Houston on Sunday and Memphis on Wednesday. They dropped
into a tie with Golden State in the race for eighth place, though Denver owns
the tiebreaker.
金塊又一次陷入與勇士爭奪老八的泥淖中，
唯有贏球才有辦法幫助他們自己擺脫。
"There is no tomorrow after tomorrow if we don't take care of business," said
Allen Iverson, who led Denver with 28 points.
「再不爭氣點，就別想見到明天的太陽了，唉。」
拿下全隊最高28分的ΑΙ嘆道。
Anthony had 22 points for the Nuggets, who allowed 40 points in the first
quarter, then opened the second on a 14-0 run, Denver held a one-point lead
about midway through the third, but the Nuggets unraveled just as quickly as
they had come back.
金塊另外一位主將甜瓜則是攻下22分，
雖然第一節開賽就讓阿爵狂拿40分，
但金塊馬上在第二節開始打出一波14-0的攻勢，
更在第三節中段首次以1分超前，
只是沒想到他們早洩的速度遠比硬起來的時候來得更急、更快。
"I don't know where the game went wrong to be honest with you," Anthony said.
"In the third quarter they had the momentum going with them and just carried
it over throughout the rest of the game."
「老實嘎力貢啦，我們會早洩我也覺得莫名其妙，」甜瓜無奈道，
「第三節忽然就變成他們硬起來了，而且還給我一直硬到最後，缺！」
Carlos Boozer and Ronnie Brewer each scored 20 points and Jason Hart added 12
for the Jazz, who improved to 53-27 and have their most wins since going
53-29 in 2000-01.
阿爵這邊，騙人布與小酒分別攻下20分，
還記得我嗎的哈特也補了12分，
猶他目前53場勝場已經追平了00-01球季的成績。
Utah improved to 36-4 at home, where it hopes to open the playoffs. The Jazz
host Houston on Monday and close the regular season Wednesday on the road
against the Spurs. Utah hasn't won in San Antonio since 1999, so winning the
remaining home game is crucial.
阿爵主場36勝4負的戰績稱霸聯盟，
不過季後賽卻還不見得會有主場優勢(囧)，
因此最後兩場對火箭與馬刺的勝負將是關鍵，
尤其是他們打從1999以來，還沒能在聖安東尼奧贏過任何一次。
Anthony pulled Denver within 74-73 on a jumper, then Utah took off on a 12-2
run that was briefly interrupted when Williams went crashing to the floor
after he was fouled by Anthony. Anthony caught Williams up high with both
arms and sent the Jazz guard crashing to the floor on his tailbone.
讓我們再來看一次惡性犯規畫面的重播。
The fans switched to chanting "MVP!" as Williams went to the line and made
both free throws to give the Jazz an 80-73 lead, then limped toward the Jazz
bench. He spent a few moments in the tunnel stretching and trying to jog off
the pain before returning to the bench.
在蝶龍終於起身走向罰球線並穩穩罰進兩球的同時，
爆滿的觀眾紛紛高喊MVP!MVP!向他致敬，
接著他跛著腳下場做了些簡單的治療後，
馬上就又回到了板凳席上(譯註：人胖真好)。
The Jazz led 90-79 at the end of the third, then outscored the Nuggets 34-18
in the final period. Everything was falling at the end for the Jazz,
including an out of control layup by Paul Millsap after he was spun around
and was going backward toward the hoop. Millsap threw the ball up and it
banked in to give Utah a 96-81 lead.
第三節結束阿爵僅僅領先11分，
不過第四節兩隊得分拉大到34-18，
第四節阿爵可以說怎麼打怎麼有，
連米爺一個失控的360度上籃都能變成進算加罰，
你說你還能拿他們怎麼辦咧？
Notes:
附帶一提：
Utah opened the game 9-for-10 and led 40-25 at the end of the first.
猶他開場10投9中，打完第一節還以40-25領先。
不過該崩潰的還是要崩潰。
Iverson scored six as the Nuggets opened the second quarter with 14 straight
points.
Iverson scored 12 in the first quarter and Anthony had 10 points in the
period. The rest of the Nuggets combined for three points in the first.
金塊他家的事。
