HIROSHIMA, Japan (AP) -- Japan had the sellout crowd behind it. Germany had Dirk Nowitzki. 日本有热情的观众作为後盾，但是德国有Dirk Nowitzki。 The 7-foot center had 27 points and 10 rebounds to lead Germany to an 81-70 victory Saturday in the opening game of the first round of the FIBA world championships, negating the host's home-country advantage. 这个7尺中锋得到了27分和10篮板，带领德国队以81-70的比数，在星期六的世锦赛开幕 战中，击败地主国日本队。 Nowitzki, who led the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA finals this season, dominated inside and outside early, scoring 20 points and grabbing nine rebounds as Germany took a 50-37 halftime lead. He had 15 points in the first quarter, including two 3-pointers. 带领达拉斯小牛队打进本季NBA总冠军战的Nowitzki，在比赛之初就主导了内线和外线 攻势。他以20分9篮板的成绩，带领德国中场取得50-37的领先。其中有15分在第一节 攻下，包含2个三分球。 "He's just a great player," Germany coach Dirk Bauermann said. "He is a coach's dream in that he will do anything you want. I told him that he would have to have a great start and be aggressive early and score for us to be successful. He is a true team player and we are very fortunate to have him." "Nowitzki是个优秀的球员"，德国队教练Dirk Bauermann表示，他是每个教练心中 的梦想，他可以达成你所希望他达成的所有事情。他是个有团队感的球员，我们很幸 运能拥有他。 Using its size advantage inside, Germany took its biggest lead of the game at 61-42 with 5:27 left in the third quarter, but Japan refused to fold, using a 10-1 run to get within 62-52 with 2:49 left in the period. Taking advantage of a dry spell from the field by Germany -- it didn't have a field goal over the final 5:27 of the third quarter -- Japan got as close as 64-56 on a driving dunk by Kosuke Takeuchi with 35 seconds left in the period. 靠着内线优势，德国在第三节剩下5:27的时候取得本场比赛最大领先61-42。 The crowd in 10,000-seat Green Arena, which constantly banged inflatable plastic sticks throughout the game, let out a roar and coach Zeljko Pavlicevic was waving his arms at the nice move by one of Japan's 6-foot-10 twins. "That really gave us momentum but then we made some small mistakes," Pavlicevic said. "Before the game that we would be within eight points of Germany people would have thought impossible but we played very well and I'm very proud of my players." Germany was finally able to start scoring again at the start of the fourth quarter and a 9-4 run made it 75-58, and Japan was never within 10 points the rest of the way. Germany, the bronze medalists in the 2002 world championships, shot 63 percent from the field (19-for-30) in the first half and outrebounded Japan 22-9 over the first two quarters. "They played without fear and made our lives very difficult," Bauermann said of Japan. "I thought we came out focused which was important for us to get off to a good start. We played very well for the first 10 minutes, built a nice lead and then did a good job controlling the game." Ademola Okulaja, who played at North Carolina from 1995-99, had 11 points and 12 rebounds for Germany, which finished with a 45-24 rebound advantage. Kei Igarashi led Japan with 13 points, while Takehiko Orimo added 10. Kosuke Takeuchi finished with eight points and his brother Joji had two. Pavlicevic was happy with the way his team handled facing a player the caliber of Nowitzki. "He's their best player but not their only player," he said. "When a great player like Dirk Nowitzki makes his first six shots like he did it is hard for a team to control a game." Germany plays New Zealand on Sunday, while Japan faces Angola. 德国队将在星期日遇上纽西兰队，而日本队将对上安哥拉队。 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 就先翻到这了，没想到新闻那麽长，挑重要的部分来打。 恭喜德国队打赢第一战，Nowitzki朝奥运迈进。 --
