Klay Thompson scored 37 points in another brilliant performance as fellow “Splash Brother” Stephen Curry watched injured and the Golden State Warriors again dominated without their MVP to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 118-106 Sunday in the opener of the Western Conference semifinals.
本周日,在西部半决赛揭幕赛的现场,伴随着有“水花兄弟”之称的同伴史蒂芬·库里在场下观战,克雷·汤普森在本场比赛中独自砍下37分,表现十分突出。金州勇士队再一次在没有MVP(最有价值球员)的情况下以118-106的比分战胜对手波特兰开拓者队。
Draymond Green had his second career postseason triple-double with 23 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists for the defending champions.
特雷蒙德·格林拿下了职业生涯季后赛的第二个三双,全场共得23分,抢到13次篮板,11个助攻。
With Curry sidelined because of a sprained right knee, Green and Thompson took charge again. Thompson hit seven more 3-pointers to become the first player in NBA history to make at least seven 3s in three straight playoff games.
库里因右膝盖受伤在场边观战,格林和汤普森挑起了勇士队的大旗。汤普森全场共拿下7个3分球,成为了NBA历史上首位连续三场都投中至少7记3分球的选手。
Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is Tuesday night at Oracle Arena.
这场七战四胜制系列比赛的第二场将于本周二晚上在甲骨文体育馆举行。
Golden State reserve Anderson Varejao and Portland’s Gerald Henderson were ejected late in the third quarter after receiving their second technical fouls. Both were hit with a technical at the 3:29 mark of the third when Varejao tripped Henderson after they collided and the Portland guard jumped up, pointing a finger at his opponent’s face.
一开始,勇士队并未让安德森·瓦莱乔上场。与此同时,开拓者也是在第三节被判第二次技术犯规之后才派杰拉德·亨德森上场。然而,在第三节开场3分29秒之际,瓦莱乔与亨德森发生碰撞并绊倒了亨德森。随后,亨德森则用手指指向对手的脸,以示愤怒。最终,两人双双被裁判驱逐出场。
Thompson hit a Curry-esque 3-pointer in the opening minutes followed by another jumper to put Golden State up 10-2. Thompson scored 18 of his points in the first quarter on 7-for-10 shooting with four 3s as Golden State built a 37-17 lead.
汤普森一开场就投中一个“库里式”三分球,随后又一个跳投将比分拉到10-2领先。在第一节比赛中,汤普森一人独得18分,其中10投7中,外加4个3分球,将比分提高到37分,领先对手20分。
Damian Lillard had another slow start, missing 11 of his first 13 shots before finishing with 30 points — 10 on free throws.
另一边,开拓者的达米恩·林纳德却开场不顺,13投仅2中。虽然全场得分高达30分,但其中有10分是罚球所得。
Shaun Livingston added 12 points and six assists after scoring 16 in each of his first-round starts in place of Curry.
每次的首轮比赛中,尚恩·利文斯顿代替库里的位置,基本都能拿到16分。本次比赛,尚恩·利文斯顿再为全队贡献12分,6次助攻。
The MVP injured his MCL when he slipped on a wet spot just before halftime of a Game 4 win at Houston in the first round last Sunday. He still will have to test the knee by putting pressure on it when he shoots, then in some 5-on-5 scrimmages.
上周日在勇士队与火箭队第四场比赛半场结束之前,MVP库里在潮湿的球场上滑倒,导致内侧副韧带受伤。他需要继续通过投球或5对5对抗练习的过程中施加一些压力来检测膝盖的恢复情况。
Curry, dressed in a dark blue blazer and black shirt, emerged on the bench midway through the second quarter and received big cheers during a timeout. He was far less animated after picking up teammate Ian Clark during Wednesday’s elimination of the Rockets. His knee told him that was a bad idea, but he did resume light shooting Saturday in hopes of playing Game 3.
第二节比赛中间,身穿深蓝色运动夹克和黑色T恤的库里出现在场下的替补席上,在暂停时间一度引起阵阵欢呼。上周三赢得火箭队之后,激动的库里一下子抱起队友伊安·克拉克。今日的库里远没有上次那么有精神,因为当时的那个举动使得他的膝盖进一步严重。但是库里在周日已开始做一些轻微的投篮运动,并希望能够在第三场比赛中上场。
The Blazers’ two latest visits to Oracle were forgettable. Golden State routed them 128-112 on March 11 to avenge an embarrassing 32-point defeat in Portland last month. As Lillard scored 51 points, Golden State lost 137-105 at Portland on Feb. 19 — its largest margin of defeat since a 39-point setback to Denver in 2012.
开拓者最近在甲骨文球馆的两场比赛可谓是战绩不佳,反响平平。3月11日,勇士队以128-112的比分赢得开拓者,终于报了2月份以32分之差被开拓者吊打的一箭之仇。2月19日,伴随利拉德全场得分51分,金州勇士队以105分不敌开拓者,落后对方整整32分。这也是勇士队自2012年以39分之差输给掘金队以来的最大分差。
And on April 3, Golden State beat the Blazers here again in lopsided fashion.
4月3日,金州勇士队在同样的地点,再次以大比分战胜开拓者。
On Sunday, Portland looked tired at times after eliminating the injury-plagued Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night before traveling to the Bay Area on Saturday.
在周六来旧金山海湾区之前,开拓者曾在前一天晚上战胜伤员满营的洛杉矶快船队。周日比赛当天,开拓者全员不时显露出疲劳状态。
The Blazers began the game 1 of 9 and missed their initial five 3-point attempts.
