第一回合：三英獲勝
BOSTON (AP)—LeBron James drove to the basket, the lane surprisingly clear.
He reached out toward the rim, rolled the ball off his fingertips …
李伯榮運球切入，奇怪的是前方居然無人去阻擋。他殺進籃下，來了一記漂亮的挑籃．．
．
And missed.
結果他放槍了
Again and again (and one more time, when it was too late anyway), James’
shots went awry in the final minute, completing one of the worst nights of
his career and giving the Boston Celtics a 76-72 victory over the Cleveland
Cavaliers on Tuesday night in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
李伯榮的出手一次又一次的落空（包括最後勝負已定時無關緊要的一球），在這東區準決
賽的第一場中寫下個人最難堪的紀錄，也讓超塞以７６－７２保住勝利
Game 2 is Thursday night in Boston.
第二場，米國星期四晚上，波士頓
“This was two heavyweights, just body-punching,” said Kevin Garnett, who
scored 28 points to make up for an off night for the rest of Boston’s Big
Three. “There was no finesse, no jabs, just an all-out, beat-down, defensive
fight.”
「（這場比賽）就像兩名重量級拳擊手的對決，雙方你來我往，充滿著肢體碰撞，」ＫＧ
說，他在三巨頭其他兩隻熄火時跳出來扛下重任，得了２８分，「沒啥小計倆，沒有陰險
的偷襲，有的只是竭盡全力的攻擊，撲倒在地，以及激烈的防守衝突」
Boston held James to 12 points on 2-for-18 shooting; only once in his career
has he made fewer baskets. He missed three drives and a 3-pointer in the
final minute, including the potential game-tying finger roll with 8.5 seconds
left.
超塞把李伯榮守到只有１８－２，在他職業生涯中只有一次這種慘狀。他在最後幾分鐘內
上籃放槍三球加一球三分沒進，包括在最後８．５秒內一次可能追平的挑籃
“I missed a lot of shots I know I can make,” James said, staring at the
stat sheet incredulously after scoring just two points in the second half and
missing his last six shots in all. “I missed layups. Those layups I’ve made
my whole life.”
「有許多球我知道我能進的，但我沒把握住，」李伯榮說，他抬頭看著計分板，一副不可
置信的樣子，他在下半場只拿下兩分，其中最後六投皆墨，「我錯失那種我整世人都在進
的球」
Paul Pierce and Ray Allen of the Celtics weren’t doing any bragging, either.
Pierce scored four points on 2-for-14 shooting, and Allen was 0-for-4 from
the field for his first scoreless performance in his last 852 games since
1997.
雷槍跟皮爾斯的表現也沒好到哪裡去，皮爾斯投１４只中２，雷槍更是只出手４次，
全部落空。這是雷槍在他最近８５２場比賽中第一次沒拿下任何分數
Combined, they matched the dud James put out there miss-for-miss.
不過這兩個人對李伯榮的盡力防守抵銷了他們慘不忍睹的表現
“Me and Ray, we figure if we play him to a standstill … we give ourselves
the best chance,” Pierce said. “He is not going to go 2-for-18 every game
but, hey, we’re going to do our best to try to make him.”
「我跟阿雷認為如果我們可以阻止李伯榮就贏了一半，」皮爾斯說，「他不可能每場都投
１８中２，但是我們會盡全力讓他每場都這樣」
At least Pierce could smile about it.
至少皮爾斯還有守住李伯榕這點可以讓他感到驕傲
Despite the worst offensive playoff performance of his career, he drew two
charging fouls against James and the Celtics protected the home-court
advantage that helped win their first-round series against Atlanta in seven
games and could take them all the way to their NBA-record 17th championship.
除去生涯最糟的季後賽表現不談，他作了李伯榮兩次進攻犯規。超塞也再一次因為主場優
勢而獲利，這個幫助他們在第一輪中幹掉老鷹的重要因素會一路跟隨超塞，直到超塞拿下
聯盟最高的第１７座金盃為止
They can thank their MVP candidate, Garnett, who finished third in the voting
announced Tuesday, behind winner Kobe Bryant and runner-up Chris Paul. James
finished fourth.
當然最佳男主角是ＭＶＰ候選人之一ＫＧ，他在最後投票結果中拿下第三名，狀元是ＫＯ
ＢＥ，榜眼ＣＰ３，李伯榮則屈居第四
“That is why we have three superstars,” said Celtics center Kendrick
Perkins, who had 12 rebounds.
「我們隊上有三名超級巨星，」Perkins說，他抓下１２個籃板
And Cleveland only has one.
騎士隊只有一個（李伯榮：護駕！護駕！）
Only once has James made fewer than two baskets—in a Dec. 29, 2004 game
against Houston when he missed all five shots in just 17 minutes. “I
fractured my cheekbone,” he said immediately when asked about it.
李伯榮生涯中只有一場投進兩球以下，當時是０４年１２／２９對上火箭，他在１７分鐘
內５投皆落空。當他被問到這場比賽時，他很快回答：「因為我的頰骨被打裂了」
He’ll remember this one, too.
這場比賽過後他又有另一個難忘的回憶了
James scored Cleveland’s first basket and then missed his next 10 shots
before driving for a layup that cut Boston’s lead to 66-65 with 5:34 left.
He finished with nine rebounds, nine assists and 10 turnovers.
李伯榮投進騎士的第一球，接著連１０球不進，直到比賽剩下５：３４時一記上籃得手為
止，那記上籃也幫騎士把比分追近到６６－６５一分落後。他最後拿下９籃板，９助攻外
加１０失誤
“He had a tough night, and he is entitled to it,” Cavaliers coach Mike
Brown said. “Knowing him, he will definitely bounce back in Game 2.”
「這場比賽對他而言一定很難堪，」騎士教練布朗說，「不過他在第二戰一定會全力出擊
」
Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 22 points and 12 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who shot
31 percent and couldn’t make a basket at the end of the game.
大Ｚ拿下２２分１２籃板，命中率只有３１啪且在比賽最後一擊也失手
Boston led 68-65 when Daniel Gibson hit a 3-pointer to tie it with 3:18 left.
超塞原本還以６８－６５領先，但是Gibson（Gib~son!!http://tinyurl.com/6rbsg8）的
三分讓兩隊在剩下３：１８時打平
Ilgauskas made a jumper on a feed from James with 90 seconds left, then
Garnett hit a fallaway to make it 70-all. James drove against Pierce and
flopped to the court while throwing up a desperation layup that wasn’t close.
大Ｚ在剩９０秒時接到李伯榮妙傳投進，接著ＫＧ來了一記後仰跳投又把比分扳平。李伯
榮在皮爾斯嚴防下試圖切入，不過滑了一跤，讓他只能絕望的隨便把球一拋，當然沒進
Sam Cassell made two free throws to tie it 72-72; James missed again, but
this time Ilgauskas was there to tip it in and tie the game. Garnett moved
across the lane to give Boston back the lead, 74-72 as Cleveland called a
timeout with 22 seconds left.
外星人兩罰都中，比分來到７２－７０（這邊外電有誤），李伯榮又一次不進，不過大Ｚ
早就知道他不會進，因此埋伏在籃下把球補進，雙方再度平手。接著又是ＫＧ！！他硬上
得手，超塞再度取得領先７４－４２，剩下２２秒，騎士喊了暫停
James dribbled at the point before finding a lane to the basket, but his shot
wouldn’t fall and James Posey was fouled after grabbing the rebound. He hit
both free throws.
李伯榮不停運球試圖找到空檔，不過他還是失手，波西在抓下籃板後隨即被犯規，他兩罰
都中
James missed a long but meaningless jumper to punctuate his night.
最後李伯榮以一記無意義的長射（當然還是沒進）結束了他難堪的一晚
Notes
“I just thought that LeBron should have been higher,” Celtics coach Doc
Rivers said of the MVP voting, pausing for effect. “We’re playing
Cleveland, right? As a matter of fact, I thought he should have won.” …
Cleveland shot 18 of the game’s first 22 free throws. … Cassell was called
for a flagrant foul when he kept James from a free throw with 5 1/2 minutes
left in the half. The replay seemed to indicate that James enhanced the
damage, and the Boston fans let him know they were on to him. … Cleveland’s
Wally Szczerbiak missed his first five shots before going to the bench in the
first quarter. … Boston’s Rajon Rondo had all of his 15 points in the first
half.
「我覺得李伯榮的排名應該要更前面阿．．．我們是在跟騎士打吧，是嗎？所以，我認為
李伯榮應該要拿下ＭＶＰ的（場面話說的也太明顯了．．．）」當河流被問到ＭＶＰ的票
選結果時他如此說．．．外星人在中場前對李伯榮犯規結果被裁判吹了記惡性犯規，從重
播上看來＂有可能＂是皇帝金身讓這個判決升級，而現場球迷馬上也對李伯榮噓聲伺候．
．．騎士的小帥哥Wall在第一節前五投都失手，馬上被丟回板凳．．．朗多的１５分全是
在上半場拿到的
！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！ＫＧ魂！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！
