Blinded by the white: Cavaliers routed by energized Wizards http://blog.cleveland.com/sports/2008/04/blinded_by_the_white_cavaliers.html (内有史帝文生的嘴脸图) Washington, D.C. -- After gaining a blowout victory in Game 2 and a 2-0 series lead, Daniel Gibson insisted this week that the first round of the playoffs was not over. 在Game 2的压胜以及取得二比零的领先後，小吉强调季後赛的第一轮还有得打。 He was right. On Thursday, the Cavs were on the other end of a demolition. 小吉是对的 Before a frenzied Verizon Center crowd and a highly-inspired Wizards squad, the Cavs were pounded, 108-72, in Game 3. It was the team's worst playoff loss, surpassing a 122-91 defeat to Boston in 1992. At the same time, the Wizards set a league record for the largest margin of victory after getting blown out by 30 or more points in the previous game. 在狂热的主场球迷以及因此而大受鼓舞的巫师球员面前，Game 3, 108-72，骑士 输到脱裤。这同时也是在1992年以122-91输给波士顿後，骑士队在季後赛史上输 得最惨的一次。而在惨败三十分，接着又狂胜三十多分後的巫师，则是创下了其 队史的胜分差记录。 The Wizards -- inspired by their fans, who wore white t-shirts, and by the appearance of rapper Soulja Boy -- responded to the Cavs' Game 2 haymaker in Game 2 with one of their own. 全场穿着白T恤的球迷，以及rap歌手Soulja Boy的出现，激励了巫师队，以上一 场他们被痛宰的方式回应了骑士队。 Gibson saw the punch coming but the Cavs could not avoid the blow. 小吉看到了迎面而来的重击，但骑士队回避不了。 "We feed off our crowd when we're at home because of the atmosphere and the intensity," Gibson said. "They fed off their crowd and did exactly what they needed to do to get the win." 小吉：「在主场的气势下，球迷是我们的动力来源。同样的道理也在他们身上验 证，而他们也确实做到了赢球所该做的事。」 Chants of "over-rated" directed at LeBron James, who had 22 points, filled the arena. In attendance was DeAndre Way, better known as Soulja Boy, who wore the jersey of Wizards guard DeShawn Stevenson. 「被高估」的声响遍布全场，直指着得了22分的LBJ。观众席上的DeAndre Way─ 以Soulja Boy的名字而闻名，则穿着史帝文生的球衣。 This was Stevenson's counter to James' response to Stevenson's regular-season dismissal. James compared himself to hip hop mogul Jay-Z and Stevenson to Soulja Boy, considered by some rap purist as a one-hit wonder. 这是史帝文生对LBJ的反击。先前LBJ以Jay-Z与Soulja Boy来类比於他和史帝文生。 James was not moved by the chants or the dance moves by Soulja Boy during a break in the action. LBJ并没有被观众的叫嚣以及Soulja Boy的中场表演所动摇。 "I've been in more hostile environments, like in Detroit," James said. "I just smiled when they said over-rated. It's no big deal. I have fun with the fans." 「我曾处於更具敌意的情况，像是在底特律。」LBJ说道，「当他们高喊"被高估" ，我只是微笑以对。这没什麽大不了。我乐於与这些球迷相处。」 More importantly, Stevenson was a wonder on the court, hitting five 3-pointers and scoring 19 points. He freely used his "can't feel my face" hand wag as the cheers rained down around him. 更重要的是，史帝文生成了场上的惊奇，投进五个三分，且得了十九分。不客气 地用着他的"can't feel my face"(译按：大概就是指那张图吧)，摆荡着他的 手，就好像敬酒泼洒在他的身上。 On the other end of the court, the Cavs left wondering how they could commit 23 turnovers, one shy of their franchise playoff high of 24. Thursday was simply an example of how the team has struggled on the road, winning just three times since the big trade -- against the lowly Charlotte Bobcats, New York Knicks and a controversial win in Philadelphia on April 14. 而场的另一端，骑骑们则不解为何他们产生了23次失误，是季後赛最高24次失误後 的一个耻辱。周四的比赛仅是这支球队客场鳖脚表现的其中一例；在那次重大交易 後，仅在客场赢过三次──包括战绩比较差的山猫、尼克，以及在费城那次有争议 性的胜利。 The Wizards were energized and surged to an early nine-point lead. It was also a first quarter in which the Cavs were careless offensively and made poor decisions. 巫师队一开始就精力充沛，取得了九分的领先。这也是骑骑们於进攻上漫不经心 、选择不理想的一节。 "We made too many mistakes and we paid for them," James said. "They turned up the pressure and that caught us off-guard. We had some careless turnovers early and that led to them getting out on some fast breaks. We turned the ball over more [in Game 3] than we did in the first two games. That's not going to work on the road, especially in the postseason." LBJ说：「我们犯了太多错误，并未此付出代价。」 「他们施加了压力，并让我们难以抵挡。一开始犯了些漫不经心的失误，让他 们快攻得逞了几次。这场球的失误次数比前两场都还要多。这种表现在客场 是行不通的，尤其是在季後赛。」 The Wizards led by four at the end of one and began pulling away in the second 12 minutes. Reserve guard Roger Mason had nine of his 18 points in the quarter. Meanwhile, the Cavs committed nine turnovers, finishing with 15 for the half. 第一节打完巫师队领先四分，并在下一节把领先扩大。替补後卫Roger Mason在这节 就砍进了全场十八分中的九分，同时，骑骑们也产生了九次失误，半场打完就有十五次。 Late in the period, the Cavs reduced the deficit to single digits but Washington closed out the half with an 11-4 run for a 49-33 lead. 虽然骑骑们一度把落後减低到个位数，但巫师在半场结束前打了一波11-4，以49-33 的领先进入下半场。 The defense, which led the Cavaliers in the first two games of this series, failed miserably this time. The Wizards made uncontested jump shots, found free passage to the basket and scored 18 points off turnovers. 在前两战带领着骑骑们的防守，这次悲惨地失效了。巫师队在没有压迫之下的外线出 手、发现通往禁区的康庄大道，还有因对方失误而得来的18分。 Gilbert Arenas started and was not much of a factor offensively. He scored two points with three assists before leaving in the second quarter after suffering a bone bruise on his surgically repaired left knee. 吉尔柏大将军先发，并没有参与到太多的进攻。仅得了两分、三助攻，并在他那甫从 开刀康复後的膝盖挫伤後，第二节後就未再上场。 Center Brendan Haywood, the non-suspended one, outplayed Zydrunas Ilgauskas in the first half. Haywood had 10 of his 14 points in the half and Ilgauskas finished with only nine points and four rebounds. 中锋Hayhood，上半场的表现无疑地优於大Z：得了全场14分中的十分。而大Z最终也 只有9分与4篮板。 Matters worsened in the third as the Wizards outscored the Cavs, 28-18. Coach Mike Brown finally waved the white flag when he took James out of the game with 7:11 left and the Wizards leading by 28. 更糟的是，当第三节巫师的得分以28-18领先骑骑之後，布朗教练举了白旗，在比赛 剩下七分十一秒，还落後28分的时候，将LBJ换了下去。 "They [Wizards] were the aggressors," Brown said. "They came out with the right mindset. They got energized and juiced by the crowd." 布朗道：「他们(巫师队)很有企图心，展现了正确该有的态度。球迷使得他们充满精 力、源源不绝。」 --
