ON THIS DAY: May 7, 1972 – First Title Win in Los Angeles

Posted: May 07, 2022
从1962到1970年9九个赛季，洛杉矶进了七次总冠军赛。每次都是心碎的拿不到洛杉矶的第
一冠（六次输给宿敌波士顿赛尔蒂克，一次输给纽约尼克）
From 1962 to 1970, the Lakers would appear in seven of the nine NBA Finals durin
g that span. Every series ended in heartbreaking fashion as the team was unable
to capture its first title in Los Angeles and lost six of those matchups to the
rival Boston Celtics (the other came against the New York Knicks).
五十年后的今天，我们庆祝洛杉矶湖人队拿下第一座欧布莱恩冠军奖杯。
Fifty years to the day, we celebrate the crowning achievement of the first Los A
ngeles Lakers team to hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
但是我们如何拿下冠军？在1970失利后二年内，首先我们用比尔夏曼取代Joe Mullaney当总
教练。然后用埃尔金贝勒、威尔特张伯伦、盖尔古德里奇、杰瑞威斯特做先发阵容，取代原
本的组合。
But just how did they get there?
First year head coach Bill Sharman replaced Joe Mullaney after a two-year stint
and took over the reins of a lineup that featured the likes of Elgin Baylor, Wil
t Chamberlain, Gail Goodrich, and Jerry West, among others.
贝勒在最后二季例行赛只打11场就退休。1971-1972年湖人队前9场比赛6胜3败，第十场打巴
尔的摩子弹队开始最长的33连胜。
Baylor would only play in 11 regular season games in his final two seasons befor
e retiring.
Durig the 1971-72 season, the Lake Show would open the with a 6-3 record throug
h their first nine games. Why is that significant you may ask? A victory over th
e Baltimore Bullets in game No. 10 was the beginning of a still-standing record
for the longest winning streak in major professional sports history (33 straight
wins).
这只球队最后以联盟最佳的69胜13败，进攻联盟第一（场均得分103.1），防守与密尔瓦基
公鹿队并列联盟第一（场均失分92.6）
The team finished the regular season with a league-best 69-13 record, registered
the best offensive rating (103.1) and finished tied-for first in defensive rati
ng with Milwaukee (92.6).
在八队季后赛，紫金王朝在准决赛横扫芝加哥公牛队，西区冠军赛六场击败贾霸领军的密尔
瓦基公鹿队。总冠军赛再度遭遇1970七战击败湖人的纽约尼克队。
In the eight-team playoff, the Purple and Gold swept the Chicago Bulls in the Co
nference Semifinals and bested the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar-led Milwaukee Bucks in si
x games in the Conference Finals.
A rematch of the 1970 NBA Finals (where L.A. lost 4-3) was set with the Lakers f
acing the New York Knicks for the second time in three seasons.
当湖人队展现才能，尼克队阵容有华特“克莱德”弗雷泽、杰瑞卢卡斯、菲尔杰克森、比尔
布拉德利、戴夫狄博学、厄尔“珍珠”孟洛等名人堂阵容。
While the Lakers roster had their own share of talent, the Knicks featured Walt
“Clyde” Frazier, Jerry Lucas, and the Zen Master himself, Phil Jackson, plus H
all of Famers Dave DeBusschere, Bill Bradley, and Earl “the Pearl” Monroe.
尼克队以114比92在湖人主场第一胜，在之后四场湖人队找回自己步调后，连续拿下包括在
尼克2场主场，五战拿下洛杉矶第一个总冠军。
New York would steal Game 1 in front of a packed house at The Forum in Inglewood
by a final score of 114-92. A bounce back victory in Game 2 set the tone for th
e Lakers the rest of the series, as the team would take both games in New York a
nd finish off the Knicks in Game 5 to hoist the franchise’s first NBA champions
hip representing Los Angeles.
For the first time in Los Angeles: The Lakers were World Champions. #BestOfLaker

张伯伦以平均超过47分钟出赛时间，19.4分、23.2篮板、2.6次助攻拿到FMVP，古德里奇平
均得分最多25.6分，还有威斯特助攻最多8.8次。
Wilt Chamberlain was named Finals MVP after averaging 19.4 points, 23.2 rebounds
, and 2.6 assists in just over 47 minutes of play. Gail Goodrich led all scorers
with 25.6 points and Jerry West averaged a series-high 8.8 assists.
在这个冠军赛季，比尔夏曼年度最佳教练，张伯伦与威斯特年度第一队。个人奖项张伯伦命
中率与篮板联盟第一，威斯特为助攻王。
With a championship season came major accolades. Head coach Bill Sharman was nam
ed Coach of the Year, and Chamberlain and West earned All-NBA First Team and NBA
All-Defensive First Team honors. Individually, Wilt finished as the NBA’s rebo
unding champion and field goal percentage leader, while West finished at the NBA
’s assists champion.
Speaking of West.
威斯特在前八次总冠军赛失利后，第九次拿下第一个总冠军杯创下NBA记录，1972年特别记
录让威斯特和他的队友永远被记住。
In his illustrious Laker career, Jerry West had nine NBA Finals appearances with
his only victory coming during this 1972 season. With eight losses, West holds
the record for most losses by one player in NBA history.
Despite the perplex stat, West and his 1972 teammates will forever be remembered
as the first Los Angeles Lakers team to be crowned NBA Champions.
