[外電] Hollywood Drama

[mistasy (韶)]

As soon as the final buzzer sounded, I knew I would remember this game for
the rest of my life.  When my children are playing sports and get down about
playing poorly, I'll tell them stories about this game.  When I'm feeling
overwhelmed and overworked, I'll think about this game.   When a friend is
feeling low and comes to me for some words of encouragement, I'll draw
inspiration from this game.

在結束的哨音響起時，我知道我終身都會記得這場比賽。如果我的小孩將來從事體育，因
為自己表現不好而深受打擊時，我會告訴他們這場比賽的故事。如果我將來感到挫折或是
疲憊時，我會回想這場比賽。如果我將來看見我的朋友悶悶不樂，需要我說幾句話鼓勵他
，我會從這場比賽中想到一些好句子。

It is very fitting that this game occurred in Hollywood, because you really
couldn't script it any better.  I hate to fall back on an old cliché, but
this really was just like any fight from a Rocky movie.

這場比賽剛好發生在Hollywood，只能說是天意，因為你實在找不到更好的劇情了。我實
在不喜歡用陳腔濫調，但這場比賽真的跟Rocky拳擊電影中的決戰場景沒有兩樣。

They took such a beating early on that it was painful to watch.  Every time
they got a few punches in (to pull within 15), the Lakers would strike back
(to push it back to 20).  Kobe was spreading the ball around, getting his
teammates involved; all the things that make everyone talk about the "new,
improved Kobe."  Lamar Odom even showed up.  It was working to perfection.

他們比賽一開始就受到打擊，看的真是讓人心頭滴血。每一次他們揮出一兩拳（拉近到15
分），Laker就還以一記狠狠的反擊拳（拉開到20分）。Kobe積極傳球，帶動全隊，大家
都在談論「新，Kobe。」Lamar Odom居然也打開了，整個就是完美演出。

You could almost picture the trainer reaching for the white towel.  Except
Doc Rivers wouldn't let his team panic.  He looked them in the eye and told
them to keep their composure and to get stops.  On this night, he was a
Championship motivator.  A Championship coach.

你幾乎可以想見拋白毛巾投降的畫面了。不過，Doc Rivers並沒有讓他的隊伍陷入慌亂。
他看著球員們的眼睛，告訴他們保持沉著，要守住。在這一夜，他是冠軍的推手，冠軍的
教練。

They went back to what worked all year.  Defense and teamwork.  They got
critical stops and converted on the other end.  Once they started getting
momentum, you could feel it building like a rolling thunderstorm.  This is
where Rocky, seemingly near death, would have found some hidden reserve.  He
would start swinging wildly, making his opponent stagger back with shock in
his eyes.  The Lakers played with shock and a little bit of fear, and they
had every reason to.  There was no denying the Celtics on this night.

他們回歸到他們這整年的最初：防守和團隊。他們展現了凌厲的防守，並在場上的另一端
兌現了分數。一但他們開始有了動能，你可以感到接著的就會是暴風雨。就像是Rocky電
影裡，男主角奄奄一息時，卻發現了自己的無限潛能，他揮舞雙臂，讓他的對手蹣跚回頭
，露出難以置信的眼神。Lakers打來越是吃驚，越是害怕，而他們應該如此。因為今晚的
Celtic，根本無法阻擋。

The only thing I feared was the team running out of gas after fighting so
hard to come back (like the Lakers did in game 2).  The great thing is that
everyone worked together in the clutch.  Pierce carried them for long
stretches (limiting Kobe and converting near impossible buckets).  Garnett
hit some clutch shots (once again shutting up his critics).  Posey (who shall
henceforth on this blog be referred to as "Big Game James") hit dagger three
pointers.  Eddie House made the difference that we all thought he could.  And
then the final nail in the coffin was Ray Allen's stutter-step,
blow-past-annoying-Sasha, reverse layup.  Knockout.  Game over.

我唯一擔心的是，這樣拚命追分，會不會最後氣力放盡（就像Lakers 在第二戰中那樣）
。但偉大的是，隊上的每個人在關鍵時刻是同心協力的。Pierce帶領大家拉長戰線（鎖死
Kobe且高難度得分）。Garnett投進了幾球關鍵一擊（又一次讓批評他的人閉上嘴巴）。
Posey（以後該稱之為Big Game James啦）。投進了許多致命的三分。Eddie House也影響
了戰局（我們都知道他可以）。最後，為Lakers的棺材釘上最後一根鐵釘的，是Ray
Allen那小碎步後的反手上籃（輕易的過了煩人的Sasha）。

擊倒在地！比賽結束。

They never gave up on each other.  They trusted each other and carried each
other.  They played with Ubuntu.  Together they found the strength to do what
seemed impossible.  What a team.

他們從不放棄彼此，他們互相相信，互相鼓勵。他們打球的信念就是Ubuntu。在一起，他
們找到了力量，完成了這近乎不可能的任務。

多麼了不起的一支隊伍。
