NBA.com Staff Writer: John Schuhmann http://tinyurl.com/7fyeb9t Slowly -- finally -- 76ers learning how to win in the clutch Posted May 15 2012 10:12AM BOSTON -- Surprise, surprise. The Philadelphia 76ers, a team that has failed so many times in late-game situations over the last two years, out-executed the veteran and battle-tested Boston Celtics in a nail-biter playoff game. Scoring 17 points on their final nine possessions, the Sixers stole home-court advantage in the Eastern Conference semifinals with an 82-81 victory in Game 2 at TD Garden on Monday. 号外，号外。 两年来在关键时刻打铁连连，且看似没有人能挺身而出的费城钢人队(误) 在季後赛第二轮竟然以关键的小分差距， 拿下了已经被无数次的挑战与证明其顶级执行力的东区强权绿衫军。 七六人在Game 2的关键时刻， 以最後的九波进攻当中拿下了十七分(换算Ortg = 188.89)的超优秀表现， 在波士顿人的绿色花园拿下了极为关键的客场胜利。 In an intense environment, there were several moments when it looked like the Celtics had delivered the blow that would finally knock out their opponent. But the Sixers answered every challenge and evened the series by beating the Celtics at their own game. 在那个双方杀得刀刀见骨的当下， 有好几次看起来，运作良好的老将们用一次又一次优秀的战术执行， 让他们看起来几乎已经把他们的对手逼入绝境。 但是七六人成功回应了对他们的每一次挑战， 最终终於战胜了绿巨人，拿下了这场比赛。 "Our young guys keep growing," Philly coach Doug Collins said afterward, "and they're really becoming men." 「小朋友们持续成长，而且他们真的慢慢变成真正的战士们。」 -- Doug Collins Considering the Sixers' recent history in close games, the result of Game 2 was downright shocking. This is a team that was 7-17 in games decided by five points or less in the regular season. This is a team with no go-to scorer. And this time, the opponent wasn't the Rose-and-Noah-less Chicago Bulls. This was the vaunted Celtics, with the 17 banners, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Doc Rivers. 如果你对七六人这近况有一定的了解， 那你一定知道七六人在关键时刻近身肉搏是多麽的凄惨， 那就更显得 Game 2 的这场胜利是多麽的吓人。 如果你不知道，这里有个数据： 七六人在季赛时，当他们与对手比分差距在五分之内时， 那他们的战绩是悲惨的 7-17。 这是一个没有沟凸盖的球队。 而这次他们不只是在近身肉搏当中， 击败了没有风城玫瑰跟法国巨人的公牛； 他们今天击败的是拥有众多的历史与骄傲， 有着17个退休背号、实力与默契俱佳三巨头、 并拥有场上控制欲望最强烈的教练 Doc Rivers 的波士顿。 But there were the Sixers, making countless big plays in the game's final minutes, most coming from their youngest and least-experienced players. Third-year guard Jrue Holiday answered a Ray Allen three with one of his own with less than two minutes to go. Second-year guard Evan Turner had two huge buckets in the closing moments, including an incredible drive and finish in the final minute. Turner and third-year guard Jodie Meeks each went 2-for-2 from the line to seal the victory. 但是今天的七六人就有如猛虎出闸一般， 在关键时刻做出了无数的 Critical Plays， 而这些卓越的表现却大部分来自他们年轻且缺乏经验的年轻人们。 三年级生Jrue Holiday在距枪响两分钟内， 以一个大号三分回敬了 Ray-Gun。 (*按: 应该是回应Avery Bradley，不是Ray) 二年级生Evan Turner在关键时刻命中了两个关键上篮， 尤其是 40.4 秒的关键切入拉杆上篮。 而 Turner 跟三年级生 Jodie Meeks 都在 C's 的犯规战术中 以各一次两罚两中帮助自己的球队稳住阵脚并且赢得胜利。 The prime example of a young Sixer stepping up under playoff pressure is Lavoy Allen, the 50th pick in the 2011 draft. With veterans Elton Brand and Thaddeus Young struggling in the first two games, the 6-foot-9 rookie has become a major factor in the series on both ends of the floor. Allen had one of the biggest buckets of the night, putting his team up two in the final minutes with a 20-foot heave that barely beat the shot clock. The play was a bit of a miracle. Many would call it lucky. But it typified Allen's contributions in the first two games of the series, where he's acted as a release for the Sixers' offense. 但是最能够显现七六人今天年轻人超龄表现的例子， 则是顶住强大压力的二轮50顺位新秀，来自天普大学的 Lavoy Allen。 这位出生於Southern Jersey，在费城长大求学的在地年轻人， 在队上的老将 Elton Brand 与 Thaddeus Young 在客场同时陷入挣扎时， 这位六尺九寸的菜鸟却在攻守两端同时成为了今天七六人赢球最重要的关键。 With the Celtics' defense pressuring the perimeter, the rookie has found open spots on the baseline and has rewarded his teammates for getting him the ball. He's shooting 9-for-14 in the series, including 5-for-7 from outside the paint. Where Brand and Young have failed, Allen has flourished. In Game 2, Allen was just as important on defense. He pushed Garnett off the block, anticipated his post moves and contested his shots. Garnett is the leading scorer in the series, but has done most of his damage against Brand and Spencer Hawes. He has shot 14-for-19 with Allen on the bench, and just 5-for-13 with Allen playing. 当 C's 拿出了他们对於外围球员顶尖的防守时， 天普王适时跳出来帮助了他的球队，把握了他握得的空档机会。 本系列他的命中率是 9/14，在禁区外更是惊人的 5/7。 当 Brand 与 Thad 隐形的时候，他适时且良好的弥补这个战力空缺。 在第二战时更显现天普王在防守端展现同样巨大的企图心与影响力。 他成功的卡位与推挤成功让 Kevin Garnett 大部分时间远离禁区， 让他没办法进行轻松的post-up，并勇於挑战 #21 每一次的出手。 KG 目前为止是全系列当中双方所有球员得分最多的， 但是他大部分的进球都来自於EB与Hawes防守时。 当天普王不在场上的时候，他的命中率是 14/19； 但当天普王脱下保暖衣秀出50号的背号在场上挑战他时， 这位名人堂球员只剩下 5/13 的命中率。 Game 2 was a one-point game, but the Sixers outscored the Celtics by 21 points in Allen's 30 minutes on the floor. "He's one of those under-the-radar guys coming out of the Draft," Andre Iguodala said of Allen. "When you put them in a position to just do their job, they excel. And he's definitely giving us a boost." 这场比赛实际上是个紧凑的一分差比赛， 但，虽然Plus/Minus只能提供参考， 不过当天普王在场上的三十分钟，+/- 是夸张的 +21。 「他是去年选秀的时候最被忽略的球员。 当你把他放在对得位置，并且赋予他明确的任务，他能做得非常完美。 而这样的表现的确给予我们很大的帮助。」 -- Andre Iguodala *按: Andre Iguodala 在另外一个访谈将 Lavoy 视为近年二轮末的球员当中 最被忽视的球员，甚至他将 Lavoy 跟 Carlos Boozer 与 Paul Millsap 相提并论。 Allen is the guy that ESPN ranked 500th out of 500 players in their preseason rankings. After a solid rookie season and a couple of big games against the Celtics, Allen clearly can't be considered the worst player in the league anymore. Allen 曾经在开季的时候， 被 ESPN 评价为联盟当中五百个开季名单球员里面的最後一名。 但是当他完成了这个稳定输出绩效的球季， 并且在波士顿客场打出两场好球之後， 他很明显的打了ESPN众「专家」的脸， 并且向世人昭告：他绝对不是联盟最差劲球员。 So what are we to think of the Sixers now? Entering this series, the Celtics had been dominant at home, winning 16 of their last 17 games. But Philly came a Game 1 possession or two from winning here twice in two tries. 所以我们现在该怎麽重新认定七六人是什麽Level的球队呢？ 在这个系列开始之前，Celtics 在过去十七场主场作战当中， 仅仅输掉了一场比赛。 但是七六人距离在波士顿拿下两场客场， 却仅仅只有一到两波攻势的差距。 > (Lao Williams要不要出来面对？ (￣▽￣＃)﹏﹏ ) Collins points to his team's April 21 victory in Indiana as the breakthrough game in terms of late-game composure and execution. The Sixers lost a fourth-quarter lead in that one, but made some big plays in overtime to beat a good team on the road. Doug Collins 对记者们指出： 4/21 在印地安纳客场延长赛逆转胜出的比赛， 是七六人在关键时刻执行力开始进步的转捩点。？ 七六人在第四节差一点点就把自己的胜利拱手让人， 但却在延长赛打出了令人尊敬的进攻， 并且在客场打赢了坚强的对手。 Iguodala feels like the Sixers' first-round experience -- they won in Chicago in Game 2 -- was critical as well. "I think the Chicago series really set us up for this series," Iguodala said, noting that the Bulls and Celtics were the top two defensive teams in the league. "We're keeping our composure, keeping our confidence. And it's going to be grind-out games." AI9则是认为第一轮第二场在客场的胜利经验同样也非常重要。 「我认为面对公牛的系列的确帮助我们对於第二轮准备得更充分， 芝加哥与波士顿是联盟数一数二的防守球队。 但是我们在比赛中已经能持续保持冷静，并且维持自己的自信。 因此R1G2对我们来说是代表着我们已经能够跨越关键时刻的障碍， 对我们来说是意义重大的一场比赛。」 Can the Sixers win this series? Now that we've seen them fight through an ugly game and out-clutch their opponent, it's certainly a more believable scenario. "All season long we couldn't win these games," Collins said. "Now our guys are believing they can do it. It is pretty special to watch." 七六人能不能再度赢得一个系列， 让ESPN整排的专家再度跌破眼镜呢？ 现在我们知道他们在泥巴战当中仍然可以以关键时刻的表现击败对手。 以目前的状况来说，七六人似乎变得比之前预期的还要更有机会。 「我们整季都没办法赢得这些低比分差距的比赛， 但是这些球员现在相信他们能够作到， 这让状况变得更加有趣了。」 -- Doug Collins --
