---- 光速翻譯，這篇只挑一些重點翻，有誤請指正。 ---- http://0rz.tw/eJQZ0 By TOM WITHERS, AP Sports Writer ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)— Missing for two games, Orlando found its Magic touch. Making easy shots and tough ones from everywhere, the Magic won their first game in two visits to the NBA finals as Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis scored 21 points apiece in a 108-104 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3 on Tuesday night to pull within 2-1. 在連輸兩場之後，魔術隊找回他們的感覺，超人跟兩千萬各得21分，帶領球隊以108-104 的比數，拿下隊史進軍總冠軍戰的第一勝。 Orlando shot a finals record 63 percent—including another record 75 percent in the first half—to snap a six-game finals losing streak and avoid falling into an 0-3 hole that 88 previous teams in postseason history have been unable to escape. 魔術隊創下冠軍戰最高的全場63%命中率，包括半場75%的命中率也改寫紀錄。避免落入0-3的絕對劣勢，歷史上88隻球隊沒有能在如此絕境下翻身。 “Well, it was going in the basket. That always works,” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said. “That formula’s always tried and true.” Kobe Bryant, seeking a fourth title and his first since 2002, scored 31points for the Lakers but the superstar had just 10 points in the second half and went only 4 of 15 from the field after the first quarter. He also missed five free throws, points that could have given the Lakers that 3-0 lead. Game 4 is Thursday night, and Game 5—now necessary—will be at Amway Arena on Sunday. 恐慌大師：「我們打出應有的水準，若我們這樣打，就穩當了。」小飛俠正尋求個人第四座總冠軍，今天比賽得到31分，但在下半場只得到10分，且第一節之後投15僅中4，且再罰球線上失手五次，若這五分加上去，湖人現在可能已經取得 3-0的優勢了。 The Lakers, going for their 15th title and looking to redeem themselves for losing to Boston last season, have lost their stranglehold. “This is a tough team, not a cupcake team,” Bryant said. “Extremely well coached, execute well and we’ve got our work cut out.” 小飛俠：「這是（魔術隊）韌性很強的球隊，他們不是軟腳蝦。」「他們打得很好，戰術執行的很棒，而我們不是。」 With their season 48 minutes from all but disappearing, the Magic, hosting their first finals game since 1995, had five players score at least 18 points. Rafer Alston, who was just 3 of 17 from the field in the first two games, had 20 and Hedo Turkoglu and Mickael Pietrus 18 each. 魔術隊贏得隊史第一勝，今天有五位球員得到18分以上，包括前兩戰投17僅中3的街球王，今天得到了20分，土耳其火槍兵與法國喬丹各得18分。 “We’ve got to play like this,” Howard said. “When guys are attacking we're tough to guard.” 超人：「我們必須像這樣打，當對手攻擊我們，我們就要堅韌的守住。」 Pau Gasol scored 23 points but had just three rebounds and the Lakers were only 16 of 26 from the line. 嘎獸得到24分，但僅抓下3個板子，湖人隊在罰球線上投26僅中16。 For a while, it appeared the Magic, who shot just 36 percent while dropping Games 1 and 2 at Staples Center, couldn’t or wouldn’t miss. From 20 feet, swish. From 10 feet, nothing but net. Layups, runners, banks, pull-ups, didn’t matter. You name it, if it went up, more times than not it went in. Orlando made 24 of 32 shots in the first half and only cooled off a little in the third quarter as they entered the fourth at a 65 percent clip and clinging to an 81-75 lead. 有別於前兩戰的低迷，魔術隊在上半場投32中24，第三節冷卻下來，但仍帶著65%的命中率以81-75進入第四節。 Bryant sat out the first 4:47 of the fourth, and when he finally subbed in, the Lakers were still down by five and unable to do anything to stop the Magic’s marksmanship. 小飛下在第四節前4:47仍坐壁上觀，之後才上場，但與魔術隊隊仍差五分，且無法阻止魔術隊的投射。 But then, Orlando began to misfire at the worst time possible. After Pietrus was long with a wide-open 3, Gasol was fouled at the other end and made two free throws to make it 99 all with 2:41 remaining. Orlando’s rowdy crowd, which waited 14 years for a chance to welcome the Larry O’Brien Trophy to town, grew nervous. 但魔術隊開始熄火，最糟糕的時刻來到。 Pietrus投進一個空檔三分球後，嘎獸罰進兩分，兩隊在最後2:41戰成99平手，魔術隊的球迷開始緊張，他們等這一勝等了14年。 “Oh, boy,” muttered one fan near the media section. But Pietrus calmed fears by dunking in a rare miss to put the Magic up two, and when Lewis hit a jumper—it was originally called a 3 but replays showed his right foot was on the line—Orlando was up 104-101. 法國喬丹的一個補灌撫平了這緊張的情緒，接下來兩千萬投了一個踩在三分線上的兩分球，魔術隊取得104-101領先。 Howard was called for a questionable foul on a drive by Bryant, who then split his two free throws. When he went to the Lakers bench during a timeout that followed, Bryant hit himself in the head for letting two more valuable points slip away. 超人被吹了一個有爭議的犯規，犯在小飛俠身上。 Orlando couldn’t capitalize, though, and the Lakers got the ball back when Lewis missed a baseline jumper and the rebound went off him and out of bounds. Bryant, who scored 17 in the first quarter and 21 by halftime, then maybe tried to do too much. He crossed over to get past Pietrus, but Howard, the league’s defensive player of the year known mostly for his blocks underneath, made like a point guard and tipped the ball away. Pietrus was fouled and made both to make it 106-102. The Lakers suddenly became desperate. Instead of working the ball into Gasol or Lamar Odom, they fired away from outside. They couldn’t shoot with the Magic. Bryant missed a 3, Trevor Ariza misfired on one, Bryant clanged another and Derek Fisher was long as the Lakers went 0 for 4 on a possession where they had to have points. Bryant did score on a putback with .05 seconds left, but it was too late and although there was still time left, confetti began to fall to the court. （以上敘述比賽最後的過程） Lakers coach Phil Jackson felt Bryant looked tired down the stretch. “We’re all frail as humans,” he said. “Sometimes not as much as others.” 禪師認為小飛俠累了，他說：「比起對手，我們看起來意志力薄弱。」 Orlando, which was swept by the Houston Rockets 14 years ago, could finally celebrate winning one on pro basketball’s biggest stage. 魔術隊14年前遭火箭隊橫掃。 Bryant fouled Lewis with .02 seconds to go, and as Magic fans hugged and danced at an outcome they longed for, he dropped two more to seal it. The last time Orlando hosted a finals game, Howard was a 9-year-old kid in Atlanta and Shaquille O’Neal was the Magic’s Superman. Outside the cramped arena, which had a red Superman cape hanging off one wall, Orlando fans, one of them dressed as Jack Nicholson and carrying a sign that read: “Jack, You Can’t Handle The Truth,” gathered on the sidewalks hoping this would be a night their team could get back into the series. They believed. This was their magic night. 小飛俠在最後0.2秒犯規在兩千萬身上時，主場球迷都瘋了。上一次由第一代超人大歐領軍的魔術隊在家裡打總冠軍戰時，Howard還只是個待在亞特蘭大的九歲小男孩。今夜是屬於魔術隊的。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 125.224.162.50
