SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- All the Los Angeles Lakers have done is protect home
court.

洛杉磯湖人只是保住了他們的主場。

It's how well they did it that has given the San Antonio Spurs reason to
worry about protecting their own.

問題是他們做的太好了，讓馬刺很擔心他們要如何保衛他們的主場。

"We got to really step up, especially starting with me, and try to get those
two games at home," San Antonio's Manu Ginobili said after his team's Game 2
loss on Friday. "It's going to be really difficult because now they built
confidence. They're playing great, so it's going to be even harder now. But
we still believe."

「我們必須站出來，特別是從我開始，然後盡力保護好我們的主場。」聖安東尼奧的Manu

Ginobili在禮拜五第二戰輸球後說。「現在情勢將更艱鉅，因為他們已經建立起信心。他

們打的很好，所以之後的比賽會更困難，但我們仍然相信自己。」

After the Lakers demonstrated their composure behind MVP Kobe Bryant to rally
from a 20-point deficit for a narrow Game 1 victory, they routed the Spurs in
Game 2. Holding San Antonio to 34.5 percent shooting, Los Angeles essentially
had the win in hand before the last quarter.

湖人在MVP Kobe Bryant的帶領下沉著應戰，在第一戰20分的劣勢下獲得勝利，在第二戰打

垮了馬刺。讓聖安東尼奧命中率只有34.5％，洛杉磯在這場比賽第三節就掌握了勝利。

Only two Spurs -- Tim Duncan and Tony Parker -- scored in double digits.

馬刺只有兩名球員，Tim Duncan以及Tony Parker得到兩位數的分數。

"I think the common denominator, bottom line, really isn't about Xs and Os,"
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said after the 101-71 loss. "We have to have more
people playing better."

「我想這不只是對錯的問題。」馬刺總教練Gregg Popovich在以101-71落敗後說。「我們

必須讓更多球員拿出更好的表現。」

The Lakers outperformed the defending champions in just about every category.
They shot nearly 55 percent from the field, boasted five players with
double-digit scoring and outrebounded San Antonio 44-36.

湖人在幾乎每一項數據表現上都壓過去年的總冠軍。命中率接近五成五，五名球員得分超

過兩位數，籃板也以44-36略勝一籌。

Game 3 is Sunday and Game 4 is Tuesday in San Antonio.

禮拜天的第三戰及星期二的第四戰將在聖安東尼奧舉行。

The Spurs are 6-0 at home this postseason, winning by an average of 10.5
points. They blew the first big opportunity they had to steal a game in Los
Angeles, but have a chance to regroup and even the series at home.

馬刺在這次季後賽主場戰績是6勝0敗，平均每場淨勝對手10.5分。他們在洛杉磯第一戰放

掉了偷到客場勝利的大好機會，不過還有機會在主場重整旗鼓。

"They'll sleep in their own beds. They'll be much more energized," Lakers
coach Phil Jackson said. "They're such an experienced team. Their coaching
staff will make adjustments. You just can't comprehend how much of a
difference the home court makes in the playoffs to teams. That could be a
whole different story for us tomorrow."

「他們會在自己家裡休息，他們會更有活力。」湖人總教練Phil Jackson說。「他們是如

此具有經驗的球隊，他們的教練團會做出調整的。你很難想像主場優勢在季後賽會造成多

大的差別，明天對我們來說可能會完全不一樣。」

The Lakers are 3-2 on the road in the playoffs. They swept the Denver Nuggets
in the first round and eliminated the Jazz in six games, finishing with a win
in Utah.

湖人目前在季後賽客場戰績為3勝2敗。他們第一輪橫掃了丹佛金塊，再用六場比賽解決了

爵士，在猶他拿下該系列。

"We still have a championship club we have to go through in that situation,"
Jackson said. "They have really played well on their home floor since it was
built. You can't compare the noise with Utah, but it gets pretty loud.
They're going to be very precise in what they do. They're going to come out
and play with purpose."

「目前我們還必須走過一支冠軍球隊。」Jackson說。「他們從主場建好以來就在那裡打的

很好。當然那裡的音量跟猶他不能比，但也是很吵。他們將會精準的做他們的事，他們將

帶著目的上場。」

If recent history is any guide, the Spurs can take heart.

如果最近的紀錄可以再次重演，那馬刺就可以放心了。

After getting blown out in the first two games in New Orleans by nearly 20
points each time, San Antonio clawed its way back to stretch the Western
Conference semifinals to a Game 7 it won to advance.

在紐奧良頭兩場都以將近20分輸球後，聖安東尼奧振作起來並逼到第七場拿下西區準決賽

系列的勝利晉級。

Only 14 of the 222 teams to lose the first two games in a best-of-seven NBA
playoff series have come back to win. But San Antonio is among those 14 teams.

在七戰制歷史上，222支輸掉前兩場的球隊只有14隊能拿下該系列的勝利，不過聖安東尼奧

正是那14隊的其中之一。

"You have to go into a real hostile environment and try to win a game,"
Bryant said. "Certain areas, we have to minimize open looks. Those are shots
they're not going to miss next game. ... They're going to come ready to play."

「你必須在一個敵對的環境下試著贏球。」Bryant說。「在某方面來說，我們必須盡量減

少露出空檔，那些他們在下一場球絕對不會失手的空檔。他們會準備好的。」

Still, San Antonio has new and lingering issues this round. There is just one
day of rest between each game this series -- a far cry from the nearly four
days off the aging Spurs had before playing Game 7 in New Orleans.

聖安東尼奧在這一輪還是有一些問題要解決，這系列每場中間都只有一天可以休息，與在

紐奧良打第七戰前，讓年邁的馬刺休息了將近四天完全不同。

"I saw some fatigue in San Antonio," Jackson said Saturday.

「看得出來聖安東尼奧有些疲憊。」Jackson星期六說。

And Ginobili, the team's resident spark plug whether he comes off the bench
or appears in the starting lineup, has a lingering ankle injury and has yet
to produce in this series.

而Ginobili這位隊上激情的火花，不論先發還是從板凳出發似乎都熄滅了。受到腳踝的傷

勢影響，在這一系列還沒做出什麼貢獻。

The team's leading scorer during the regular season had just 17 points on
combined 5-of-21 shooting in the first two games.

這位例行賽全隊得分王在前兩場總共投21只中5，拿到17分。

Ginobili said after the first game that the ankle wasn't an excuse for his
performance, but Popovich said after Game 2 there had been "some thought of
shutting him down."

Ginobili在第一戰賽後說腳踝的傷勢並不能拿來當藉口，但是Popovich在第二戰後說那傷

勢似乎還是有點影響。

The Lakers don't think Ginobili's struggles will last.

不過湖人並不認為Ginobili將繼續沉淪。

"He's a huge key to the success they've had," Lakers guard Derek Fisher said.
"If he's not playing his best because of injury or another reason, that
obviously works to our favor. We don't expect that to continue. We expect him
to play better, starting (Sunday)."

「他在他們的勝利中扮演關鍵的角色。」湖人後衛Derek Fisher說。「如果他因為傷勢或

其他原因而拿不出最好的表現，最我們來說是一大利多。但我們並不預期那將繼續，我們

認為他在星期天將以先發身份拿出更好的表現。」

Ginobili and the Spurs can only hope Fisher is right.

Ginobili及馬刺只能祈禱Fisher是對的。

不好意思，早上剛考完TOEIC，上一戰的賽後報沒有時間翻，就讓它隨風而逝吧！

而且我不想四連霸。

那個誰誰誰快點翻～
