Associated Press Sunday, Apr. 25, 2010 - 10:00 p.m. ET http://tinyurl.com/27g2dl3 George Hill sank yet another big shot from the corner, this time right in front of the Dallas Mavericks bench, and ran back upcourt flashing three fingers. Hill又在底角投進了另一個關鍵球，這次就在小牛的板凳前面出手，投進後秀出他的三根手指。 He probably meant 3-pointer. Or maybe it was three down, one to go. 他大概是指「我投進三分球啦」。或是進三顆了，還要再來一個。 While Tim Duncan had a miserable 34th birthday and Manu Ginobili looked as rough at times as his bandaged-up broken nose, Hill scored 29 points to help the Spurs push the second-seeded Mavericks to the brink of elimination with a 92-89 victory on Sunday night. 當Duncan在生日這天表現糟糕，Manu有時又像他貼上繃帶的斷鼻一樣的艱難時，Hill得了29分，幫助馬刺92-89獲勝，把第二種子小牛逼到了淘汰邊緣。 "From the day they drafted me, I knew I belonged," said Hill, found by the Spurs late in the first round two years ago. 「自從他們在選秀會上選了我，我知道我屬於這裡。」Hill表示。Hill在兩年前第一輪後段順位被馬刺選上。 Hill's playoff performance was, in the Duncan era of the Spurs, virtually unprecedented. Hill季後賽優異的表現在石佛時代可說是毫無前例。 The 23-year-old guard became the first player other than Duncan, Ginobili or Tony Parker to lead the Spurs in scoring in a playoff game since the first round in 2007. That's a span of 41 playoff games. 今年23歲的Hill是自2007年季後賽第一輪以來，第一個得到比三巨頭還要更多分數的球員，而這已經過了41場比賽之久。 Put in even more remarkable context, one of the Big Three has been the top scorer for San Antonio in all but two postseason games since the Spurs won their second championship in 2003. 以更值得注意的情景來看，自從2003年第二座冠軍金杯後，三巨頭除了兩場比賽，囊括了所有季後賽隊上的得分王。 Michael Finley was the first in 2007. Hill became the other after Duncan, Parker and Ginobili combined for just 31 points in a physical Game 4 that left tempers flaring. 2007年的Michael Finley是第一位，而Hill是第二位。第四戰三巨頭總共只拿了31分。 "If you tell me before the game we hold the Big Three to those numbers, we figure we win the game," Mavs forward Dirk Nowitzki said. 「如果賽前得知能將三巨頭封鎖到只得31分，我們會認為贏定了。」Dirk說。 Heading home to Game 5 on Tuesday night, the Mavs have other numbers to worry about. 星期二回家後的第五戰，小牛對於這第四個得分點要頭痛了。 One is being on the verge of their third first-round playoff exit in four years. Considered one of the deepest teams in the West while claiming the No. 2 seed, Dallas is now tasked with trying to become just the ninth team in NBA history to rally from a 3-1 deficit in a best-of-seven playoff series. 小牛正處於四年內三度在第一輪被淘汰的邊緣。他們被認為是西區最有板凳深度的球隊，而現在進行著締造NBA歷史上第九次從3-1翻身晉級的任務。 It was three years ago that the top-seeded Mavericks were shocked in the playoffs by eighth-seeded Golden State. Dallas is now in danger of getting ousted by the No. 7 Spurs. 三年前令人驚訝地第一種子小牛被老八金州勇士做掉了，而他們現在處在被第七種子馬刺淘汰的危險中。 After the game, Nowitzki climbed up a dais in the media room, took the microphone off the stand and slouched back in his chair with a heavy sigh. 賽後在媒體訪問房裡Dirk上了講台，關掉麥克風，無精打采地坐回去，深深嘆息。 He scanned a copy of the box score: Duncan getting four points on 1-of-9 shooting. Ginobili getting a modest 17. Parker scoring just 10. 他看了看分數盒：Duncan投9中1，Ginobili得到普普的17分，Parker只拿10分。 "It's tough. I'm not going to sit here and lie," said Nowitzki, who was held to 17 points, his worst outing in the series. "In Game 2 we should have had it at home and we feel we should have had one here. We didn't and it's frustrating, but we have to keep fighting until it's over." 「太艱苦了，我不想坐在這裡說些謊話。」Dirk說道，他今天拿到17分，是系列賽最差的成績。「我們該在主場拿下第二場的，而且我們真的認為那場已經拿下來了。但實際上並非如此，真的很令人沮喪，我們必須戰鬥到最後一刻。」 If Game 4 was any indication, Tuesday could be a rough-and-tumble elimination game. Officials rang up three flagrant fouls, pouring more fuel on an already intense Texas rivalry. 如果第四戰是個預示，星期二將是場激烈的混戰。今天裁判吹了三個故意犯規，讓德州內戰的戰火燒得更加猛烈。 Tempers flared as the Mavs threw away a 14-point lead in the third quarter, none more so than when Eduardo Najera was ejected after hooking a hand around Ginobili's head and sending him belly flopping to the floor. 第三節將14分的領先拱手讓人之後，大家按耐不住情緒爆發了出來。Najera用手勾住了 Ginobili的頭，將他正面摔下，因此被驅除出場。 A livid Popovich leaped from his chair and began stomping toward the basket before being slowed down by his assistants. Minutes earlier, Richard Jefferson and Jason Terry had to be separated when words escalated in the third quarter. 暴怒的Popovich從椅子上跳了起來，想直接殺到籃下，其他助理教練將他攔了下來。幾分鐘前的第三節，Jefferson和Terry才因口角愈發嚴重而被隔開。 "We're not going to back (down), we're not going to take hits and let them keep doing it," Hill said. "Our guys stepped up and we can deliver a blow, too." 「我們不會屈服，也不會白白挨打而讓他們繼續恣意妄為。」Hill表示，「咱們站了出來，而且我們也是可以給予他們重擊的。」 The Mavs can no longer count on shutting down the Big Three as enough. Duncan has scored at least 25 points in the first three games of the series. Ginobili, meanwhile, made just 4-of-16 shots while wearing a bandage across his broken nose that went from cheek-to-cheek, forgoing the discomfort of a face mask. 小牛不再能單單依賴鎖住三巨頭的得分就足以贏得比賽。Duncan前三場得分都在25分以上。同時從兩頰間黏上繃帶的Ginobili投16只中4，他捨棄了會帶來不適的面罩。 But he was bailed out by Hill, who was held scoreless in the series opener while battling a sore ankle. 不過他從困境中被Hill救了出來，而Hill在第一戰仍在與腳傷搏鬥，掛了顆鴨蛋。 "He really earned our trust all season long and he's responding in the playoffs in a tough situation," Ginobili said. "He started in front of Tony, which is not easy at all, coming from an injury and zero-point first game. It was not easy. The way he stepped up today and lead us was impressive." 「他確實在季賽得到了我們的信任，而且他在季後賽緊繃的情況下有適時地回應。」 Ginobili說道。「他在Tony前面先發上陣，這真的一點也不簡單，尤其能從傷痛及第一場零分的表現中浴火重生。他今天站出來引領我們的表現真是令人印象深刻。」 Caron Butler had 17 points for Dallas, the NBA's best road team during the regular season. But the Mavs couldn't leave San Antonio with a win, and they have to push the series to a Game 6 to earn another shot. Butler得了17分。小牛是NBA客場戰績最好的球隊，但卻無法再離開聖安東尼奧時帶走一勝，而且他們還得將戰線拉到第六戰。 Butler and Shawn Marion seemed to get the message after getting benched in the second half of Game 3. Marion had 14 points and helped push Dallas to a 51-37 lead early in the third quarter. It was reminiscent of Game 3, when Dallas went on a 17-0 run to get back in the game. Butler和Marion似乎在第三戰下半場坐板凳時得到了這樣的訊息。Marion拿了14分，幫助小牛在第三節前段取得51-37的領先。這讓人聯想起第三戰，小牛也曾打出一段17-0的攻勢。 But then the Mavs' meltdown began. 但隨後小牛崩潰了。 Dallas missed its last 11 shots of the third and did not hit a field goal over the final 7:47 of the quarter. The Mavs turned the ball over eight times, struggling so much that even a simple inbound play was difficult. 小牛第三節最後7分47秒11球都沒進，失誤了8次，打得極為掙扎，甚至連簡單的開場球都搞不定。 Still, the Mavs weren't done. They pulled off a 13-2 run in the final five minutes to get within 86-84 with 2:13 left. But Ginobili came back down and connected on his first 3-pointer in seven tries, and the Mavs watched their chances disappear on back-to-back misses by Nowitzki and Jason Kidd in the final 28.9 seconds. 不過小牛還沒認輸，最後五分鐘拉出13-2的攻勢，比數在終場前2分13秒變成86-84。但 Ginobili終於在第七次出手時投進了三分球，小牛就這樣看著他們的希望伴隨著連續兩次 Dirk和Kidd最後28.9秒內的失誤消逝而去。 "We're not looking at three straight," Kidd said. "We're just looking at Game 5 and that's as far as we can look." 「我們並不去想必須三連勝。」Kidd說，「我們只會專注於第五戰，這是我們能力所及之處。」 NOTES: Terry scored all of his 13 points in the second half, returning to the game after hurting his left ankle in the second quarter and being taken to the locker room. ...The Spurs made 6 of their 17 3-pointers after hitting none in Game 3. 註：Terry在下半場得到他全部的13分，他在第二節扭到左腳踝退場。馬刺繼第三戰三分全落空後，今天投17中6。 George Hill在2010年季後賽第一輪的逐場表現 MIN PTS REB AST GAME 1 18 0 3 0 GAME 2 31 7 3 1 GAME 3 45 17 5 1 GAME 4 45 29 4 0 GAME 5 ? ? ? ?
