Lakers Day: The 15-Point, 4th-Quarter Comeback in Game 7
http://tinyurl.com/ycjl7bu7
西冠Game7 第四节 落后15分的湖人 完成了伟大的逆转
One way or another, it was going to be one of the craziest comebacks in NBA
history.
After falling behind 3-1 in the 2000 Western Conference Finals, Portland had
rallied to force Game 7, which it led by 15 with only 10:28 remaining.
The Lakers — who hadn’t lost three straight games all season — were
suddenly on the brink of becoming just the then-seventh team in NBA history
to blow a 3-1 series lead.
The Trail Blazers had done an excellent job of denying the ball to
regular-season MVP Shaquille O’Neal and instantly double-teaming him when he
did catch it. Shaq entered the fourth quarter with only nine points.
But the Lakers’ offense awoke with elimination on the horizon. Brian Shaw
hit a few enormous 3-pointers, including one from a double-teamed O’Neal,
who finished with 19 points and five assists.
不管从哪个角度看来 这都是NBA史上最疯狂的逆转之一
2000年西冠 湖人3-1领先 但顽强的拓荒者将系列赛扳平
比赛来到了Game7 第四节剩下10:28 拓荒者依然手握著15分领先
这一年的湖人
例行赛从来没有吞过三连败 却在季后赛当中 即将吞下三连败
也将会成为NBA史上第7支3-1领先却被淘汰的球队
这个系列赛中 拓荒者对当年的例行赛MVP O'Neal采取了严密的防守
无所不用其极的防止他接到球 并在他接到球后马上进行双人包夹
这也让他在进入前三节只拿下9分
但是第四节湖人的进攻端 在濒临淘汰的边缘 终于醒了
Brain Shaw砍进了几个重要的三分球
其中包含一球O'Neal被包夹后传出来的助攻
而O'Neal终场也拿下19分5助攻

Meanwhile, the Blazers had gone silent, missing 12 straight shots at one
point. Much of this had to do with the dominance of a 21-year-old Kobe
Bryant, who shut down whichever guard he was covering.
Both Kobe and Shaq found their groove late, with the latter banking in a
turnaround hook shot to give the Lakers a brief lead with two minutes left.
这段时间 轮到拓荒者进攻当机 连续12投打铁
这跟当时21岁的小伙子有直接的关系
他完全封锁了跟对位的任何后卫
接下来Kobe跟Shaq也找回节奏 靠着后者的转身勾射得手
湖人终于在剩下两分钟时 要回了短暂的领先

A gasping Portland side managed to tie the game before Bryant took it over.
First, he regained the lead with a couple of free throws. Then he put a
bucket between the eyes of one of the greatest defensive players of all-time.
With just over a minute left, Bryant danced with Scottie Pippen, used an
inside-out dribble to shake him off, and rose up for a well-contested jumper
that still fell through.
在Kobe接管比赛前的最后关头 拓荒者拼尽全力的将比数扳平
但这时Kobe出现了
首先他靠着一些罚球要回领先
接下来他在NBA有史以来最佳的防守球员之一面前 用跳投砍下了分数
比赛剩下一分多中 Kobe面对Pippen跳起了曼巴舞
并利用向前的假晃顺势往左后方运 这动作稍稍的腾出了与Pippen之间的距离
此时Kobe拔起 Pippen的防守依然到位 但是球却空心入网

All that was left was one of the most iconic moments in franchise history.
Bryant sized up Pippen yet again and dusted him with a crossover. Then he
lobbed the ball to O’Neal, who seemingly grazed the STAPLES Center ceiling
to grab it.
Shaq brought the ball down with thunder, rocking the crowd and cementing a
six-point lead with 40 seconds remaining.
“I thought I threw the ball too high,” Bryant told reporters. “Shaq went
up and got it, I was like, ‘Damn!’”
而接下来 湖人史上最标志性的一刻之一出现了
Kobe再次面对Pippen
这一次他利用了Crossover晃开了Pippen 接下来把球高高的往天空抛出
而与此呼应则是常规赛的MVP
雷霆万钧的暴扣不仅仅让观众沸腾
也让湖人在比赛剩下40秒时取得了六分领先
Kobe赛后接受记者访问时表时
"我还以为我抛太高 结果Shaq竟然接到了 我当时脑中只想着: 哇靠..."

Bryant concluded with 25 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists and four blocks,
ascending to true alpha status alongside O’Neal.
Having completed one of the greatest fourth-quarter comebacks in postseason
history, the top-seeded Lakers’ 89-84 win booked their first trip to the
Finals in nine years.
Soon after came an even sweeter prize: the first of three straight NBA titles.
Kobe最终拿下了25分11篮板7助攻以及4个火锅的全能表现
也正式的在O'Neal身边一起成为了湖人的当家看板
这场胜利也带领湖人睽违9年后再度打进总冠军赛 (1991 Finals Lakers vs Bulls)
迈向接下来的三连霸湖人王朝
