Korver Leads Utah Past Denver in Overtime 柯佛報仇，不用三年 Jazz 118, Nuggets 115 (F-OT) DENVER, Feb. 6 (AP) -- It's not so much the swishes as the swagger. 打得再好還不是沒人鳥。 Utah won its 10th straight game Wednesday night, beating the Denver Nuggets in a 118-115 overtime thriller in which Kyle Korver scored 27 points, including four free throws in the final 19 seconds. 今晚在延長賽中以三分險勝金塊後，爵士悄悄將連勝紀錄推展至雙位數，上回被狠踹一腳的柯佛攻下廿七分，包括最後十九秒連進四個關鍵罰球。 "You win games like this when you are playing well," Korver said. "Our confidence was high going into the game." 「只要自己夠穩夠好，就不怕沒機會贏球，」柯佛說道，「我們在比賽中保持著這樣的自信。」 And why not? 好一個柯佛。 Since Korver joined the Jazz in a trade from Philadelphia on Dec. 29, Utah has won 16 of 18 games to surge past Portland and Denver in the Northwest Division, which they now lead by two games over the Nuggets. 打從柯佛去年底由費城轉隊來到這兒後，爵士的戰績是十八戰十六勝，一舉超越拓荒者、金塊，重回西北組王座，並領先居次的金塊隊兩場勝差。 Deron Williams led the Jazz with 29 points, including a 3-pointer with 17.8 seconds left in regulation that tied it at 106. 狄龍拿下全隊最高的廿九分，包含正規賽最後十七秒追平比數的一顆關鍵三分。 The Nuggets worked the ball to Carmelo Anthony, whose open 19-foot jumper rimmed out at the buzzer. 隨後金塊將最後一擊交由甜瓜執行，可惜的是球轉了個圈後奪"框"而出。 "I thought that was good, and I was right up under the basket," said Allen Iverson, who led Denver with 34 points. "I don't think he'll get that open for the last shot probably ever again in his career, being as good as he is. Maybe he was too open, but it was a good shot. We'll take it, especially with the ball in his hands at that point in the game." 「想不到那球會不進，當時我就在籃下，」攻下全場最高三十四分的戰神說，「我在想：哇，瓜弟生涯大概不會再有這麼好的空檔投射機會了吧！」「可能是突如其來的大空檔害他自個兒也嚇著了，才會給我漏氣啦～」 Anthony said he liked his look: "Oh, it was wide open. I just missed it. I'll take a million and one of those shots again. I had a chance to win the game. It didn't go in. If I get that look again, I'm going to take the same shot.'' 安東尼也這麼認為：「對，那的確是個大空檔，我只是沒能投進。」「下次再有同樣關鍵一擊的機會，我想我還是會毫不猶豫地出手。」 Anthony fouled out with 2:51 left in overtime, finishing with 29 points. 甜瓜在延長賽剩不到三分鐘時犯滿畢業，最終攻下廿九分。 Korver's two free throws with 19.3 seconds remaining gave the Jazz a 116-115 lead, and after a timeout, Iverson was short on a jumper from the left corner with 5 seconds left. 柯佛終場前十九秒的兩顆罰球讓爵士保有一分的領先，暫停過後，艾佛森在倒數五秒時嘗試跳投，可惜沒能得手。 Korver got the rebound, drew the foul and sank two more free throws. 柯佛接到籃板(註：搶下籃板的應該是布瑟？)、被犯規，然後再用兩顆罰球將金塊石沈大海。 The Nuggets had one last shot at sending the game into double-overtime, but Anthony Carter, 0-for-4 in the extra period, was short on a 3-pointer at the buzzer, ending their eight-game home winning streak. 金塊原本有逼迫比賽進入二度延長的機會，不過最後在三分線失手的是延長賽中四投零中的卡特... 這場敗仗也中斷了他們主場八連勝的紀錄。 The Jazz haven't lost since dropping a 120-109 game to the Nuggets on Jan. 16. in which Linas Kleiza scored a career-high 41 points. He didn't get to leak out on the break this time and was limited to nine points. The Nuggets failed to move into a tie with the Jazz in the standings. 爵士自從上月中旬輸給丹佛的比賽後便不曾再嘗敗戰滋味，上回金塊贏球的最大功臣克蕾莎今晚只得到九分，金塊因此錯失追平組內排名的大好良機。 Denver trailed by 15 at halftime, but fought back to take an 89-87 lead on Anthony's 3-pointer with 7 1/2 minutes left in regulation. It was back and forth the rest of the night. 中場時金塊原本還落後十五分，不過爵士慣例的擺爛讓他們在正規賽最後七分半鐘時，靠著卡特的一記三分球，反倒以89-87領先，此後比賽便呈現相互拉鋸的狀態。 "I just wish we wouldn't have dug the hole we did in the first half," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "It's a fun team to be a part of when we do things the right way and it's hard to handle when we don't. We seem to play with the game a little bit." 「上半場亂打一通是害我們後面得花這麼多力氣去補破網的原因。」「整支球隊打順跟打不順的時候根本是兩個模樣，」金塊教頭卡爾說，「顯然這場比賽我們是打得有些漫不經心。」 Anthony said he was proud his team fought back, "but I think from the beginning of the game Utah was the aggressor. They came out playing physical. ... I think sometimes we wait to get hit before we go out there and hit somebody." 安公子對於球隊能夠追回那些失分感到驕傲，不過他也表示：「猶他從一開始就擺明了硬著來嘛，完全是肉棒的打法，」「我想我們不能只是在那兒等著挨揍，而是應該主動揮拳相向。」顯然，他的隊友們都聽到了。 Utah led 56-41 at halftime, having seized control with a spectacular second quarter in which All-Star Carlos Boozer played just one minute and didn't score a point in the Jazz's 33-15 onslaught. 中場時爵士之所以能夠取得56-41的領先優勢，要歸功於第二節他們的明星前鋒布瑟只打了一分鐘，其他球員同心齊力攻下三十三分，足足是金塊全隊十五分的兩倍有餘。 In the period, the Jazz outrebounded the Nuggets 14-6 and three times converted an offensive board into a basket following a missed free throw. That included a 3-pointer by Korver, who scored 15 points in the quarter after not even taking off his warmups in the first quarter. 這段期間爵士的籃板也以14-6大佔優勢，甚至有三次是搶下自己隊友罰球不進的進攻籃板再度得分，而完全不需熱身的柯佛在這節一登場就搶進了十五分。 Boozer was limited to eight points on 3-of-15 shooting, mostly because of the defense of Marcus Camby, who returned a bruised left knee that had sidelined him for two games and had 11 points and 17 boards. 聽說要去打明星賽的那個人今晚只得到八分，命中率投十五中三，推託的理由是他遭受年度最佳防守球員的嚴加看管，而那個剛因膝傷缺席兩場的對手據說這場比賽拿下十一分十七個籃板。 Kenyon Martin added 18 points and 10 rebounds for Denver. 馬丁為丹佛攻下十八分及十個籃板。 Notes: 附帶一提： Ronnie Brewer bruised his tailbone when he was thrown to the floor by Martin underneath the basket in the third quarter. Martin was whistled for a flagrant-1 foul on the play. 可憐的小酒第三節的時候被馬丁由空中硬扯到地上而傷了尾椎。馬丁隨後被判了一次惡性犯規。 Nuggets F Nene, recovering from testicular cancer and contemplating chemotherapy that could delay his return until next season, was in the locker room before the game. He politely declined to talk about his situation with a reporter. 返隊時間可能延後至下季的金塊前鋒Nene賽前出現在休息室，不過禮貌性地婉拒了記者的可能提問。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 219.69.98.125 ※ 編輯: maxtail 來自: 219.69.98.125 (02/07 21:59) ※ 編輯: maxtail 來自: 219.69.98.125 (02/07 22:00)
