Bibby and Kings Overcome 20-point Deficit to Beat Nets

Sacramento, Jan. 22 (AP) -- Mike Bibby's three subpar quarters
were similar to most of his performances during this tough season.
His seven brilliant minutes were more like the player Bibby used
to be - and the player he hopes to be again for the Sacramento
Kings.

Mike Bibby前三節的表現和他本季之前的水準相去不遠，但最後的七分鐘
卻彷彿變成了以往的那個 Bibby -- 那個肩負整支國王隊希望的球員。


Bibby scored the Kings' last 15 points, including the go-ahead
jumper with 10.3 seconds to play, and Sacramento dramatically
erased a 20-point deficit for an 88-87 victory over the New Jersey
Nets on Monday night.

Bibby 囊括本場比賽國王隊最後的 15 分，包含比賽剩下 10.3 秒時的一
個跳投得手，國王隊戲劇性地扳回 20 分的落後，在主場以 88 比 87 的
比數擊敗來訪的紐澤西籃網隊。 (.......) ← 很無言


Bibby was 0-for-6 with one free throw in the first three quarters
before taking charge of an improbable comeback for the Kings, who
roared from behind to win for just the second time in 10 games.
Ron Artest scored 21 points, but Bibby's clutch play in the final
minutes snapped the Nets' four-game winning streak.

Bibby 在前三節 6 投 0 中，但國王隊最後還是取得了勝利，這是他們近
十場比賽以來的第二勝。Ron Artest 攻下 21 分，但 Bibby 最後的關鍵
一擊才是終止籃網隊四連勝的功臣。 (本季真的跟連勝無緣)


Bibby is struggling through his worst season since he was a rookie
in Vancouver, and his woes are just another symptom of the last-
place Kings' worst year in a decade. But for seven minutes, Bibby
was his old big-game self - hitting tough shots, handling the ball
flawlessly and stalking the court with fearlessness.

Bibby 本季都為他自新秀年以來最糟糕的一個球季困擾著，而這只是近來
表現不好的國王隊中的一環而已，在這十年來他們的表現從未如此糟糕過
。但在那關鍵的七分鐘內，Bibby 像從前那樣跳出來掌握了比賽，他投進
了好幾個高難度的球，完美地處理每一波進攻，凜然無懼地面對整場比賽
。


"I had a lot of help out there," Bibby said. "Ron did a good job,
and Cisco (Francisco Garcia) hit some big shots. Everybody kept
playing hard, playing tough. I see us in practice every day, so I
know we're better than what we've been seeing in games."

「我的隊友們給了我很大的幫助，」Bibby 說道，「Ron 的表現非常好，
Cisco 也進了幾個好球。大家都持續努力打球，並鞏固防守。我看到我們
每天都在努力地練習，我知道我們會表現得越來越好。」


New Jersey opened the second half with a 26-8 run, taking a 20-point
lead late in the third quarter. But Sacramento steadily chipped away
in the fourth, with Bibby pulling the Kings within 85-84 on a three-
point play with 1:43 left.

籃網隊在第二節開始就打出了一波 26 比 8 的攻勢，在第三節取得 20分
的領先，但國王隊在第四節讓整個比賽的結果豬羊變色，Bibby 一記關鍵
的三分打將比賽追到 84 比 85 僅有一分落後。


Vince Carter found Jason Kidd for an easy layup with 48 seconds to
play, but Bibby hit two free throws. After Mikki Moore lost a bad
pass out of bounds under the basket, Bibby missed a jumper - but
Brad Miller tapped the rebound back to Bibby, who hit a 19-footer.

在終場前 48 秒，VC 和 Kidd 的配合在籃下輕鬆取得兩分，但 Bibby 隨
即取得兩罰機會，也順利地罰進兩球。Mikki Moore 沒能救回一顆傳壞的
球，國王隊掌握了最後一次進攻，Bibby 第一次出手沒進，但 Miller 將
籃板球撥到了 Bibby 的手中，讓他順利投進一顆 19 呎的跳投。


"I wished the first one went in, so I was just hoping the guys kept
it alive," Bibby said.

「我很希望第一球能進，所以希望他們能把球權給掌握下來。」Bibby 說
。 (覺得這樣發言很怪，可能 wish 是指"我希望進了，但沒有"？)


The Kings won just once on a four-game Eastern road trip last week,
and after hosting Milwaukee on Wednesday, Sacramento is headed out
on another four-game road trip. If the Kings hope to escape the
Pacific Division cellar before the All-Star break, they'll need
more efforts like this one - and more of the same from Bibby.

國王隊在東區四場比賽的客場之旅中只贏了一場，而接下來在主場迎戰密
爾瓦基公鹿隊後，緊接著又要開始另外四場的客場之旅。如果國王隊想要
在全明星週末之前擺脫太平洋組墊底的命運，他們必須都像今天這場比賽
這麼努力，當然對 Bibby 來說更是如此。


"We need a guy like that to finish games for us," Kings coach Eric
Musselman said. "Tonight, he showed what he can do. That's not easy
to do when your shot's not falling. You have to believe we're going
to come through it."

「我們的比賽需要像這樣的一個傢伙，」國王隊教練 Eric Musselman 這
麼說，「今天晚上他證明了他辦得到，當你投不進時，對你說比賽會很難
打，你必須有很強的信心才行。」


Moore scored a career-high 22 points, and Kidd had 18 points, 10
assists and 10 rebounds in his eighth triple-double of the season.
But when the Kings surged, the Nets folded, managing just 11 points
in the fourth quarter.

Moore 得到了生涯新高的 22 分，而 Kidd 也以 18 分 10 籃板 10 助攻
的成績取得了本季第八次的大三元。但隨後國王隊掀起了本場比賽最大的
高潮，籃網隊迅速垮台，在第四節僅有 11 分進帳。 (枉費你們兩個這麼努力...)


Kidd, who has 83 career triple-doubles, missed a floating one-handed
shot in the final seconds - and the Nets' tip rattled in and out at
the buzzer before Arco Arena erupted in celebration of a rare win for
the struggling Kings.

儘管 Kidd 取得了生涯第 83 次大三元，但最後還是沒把握住最後一次的
進攻機會，國王隊終於得以慶祝他們本季難得的勝利。


"We shouldn't have put ourselves in that position, being up by 20
points," Kidd said.

「我們原本領先 20 分的，實在不應該把自己逼到這種地步才對。」Kidd
這麼說著。 (感覺真無奈...)


Until Bibby's late heroics, the Nets appeared to be off to a strong
start on their five-game road trip even without forward Richard
Jefferson, who had surgery on his ankle earlier in the day. The
Nets still lead the Atlantic Division with nine wins in 12 games,
but failed to get back above .500 for the first time since Nov. 18.

在 Bibby成為英雄之前，籃網隊原本有機會使他們五場的客場之旅有個不
錯的開始，儘管 RJ 因為腳踝動手術而缺席。籃網隊最近 12 場比賽中贏
了 9 場，還是在大西洋組排名第一，但卻無法維持住五成的勝率。


"You've got to secure the win," said leading scorer Carter, who
had just eight points and five turnovers. "I don't care how many
guys we have missing. We've got to find a way. It was a wonderful
opportunity, and we blew it."

「本來是場贏定的比賽，」籃網隊第一得分手 Carter 這麼說道，他今天
只得了八分，外帶五次失誤。(我的FB啊...) 「我不在乎陣缺中了幾人，
我們必須找到正確的打法，這是個很好的機會，但我們卻沒有把握住。」


Eddie House scored 12 points on 5-of-16 shooting for the Nets in
their first game since learning Jefferson will be out indefinitely
while recovering from right ankle surgery. Jefferson, New Jersey's
third-leading scorer and a 2004 U.S. Olympian, has been slowed all
season by ankle problems that began during last season's playoffs.

在 Jefferson 缺陣的情況之下，Eddie House 今天 16 投 5 中，12分進
帳。Jefferson 是籃網隊的第三得分手，同時也是 2004 年奧運美國國家
隊的一員，但本季他一直被腳踝的傷勢困擾著，從上個球季的季後賽後就
沒好過。


Moore, the well-traveled veteran who had never started more than
four games in an NBA season, has helped out with strong play during
14 straight starts for the Nets. He went 8-for-8 against Sacramento,
and his defense helped to contain Artest - but the Kings saved their
best defense for the final minutes.

Moore 這位久經歷練的老手，在本季之前生涯從未有超過四場的先發記錄
，但今年卻以先發球員的身分連續為籃網打了十四場球了。他在今天的比
賽中 8 投 8 中，在防守端也對 Ron Artest 造成了不小的壓力，儘管最
後還是無法順利地阻止國王隊。


"Our defense in the fourth quarter was the best 12 minutes of defense
that we've played all season long." Musselman said.

「我們的第四節是本季防守做得最好的 12 分鐘。」Musselman 這麼說道。



其他幾件值得注意的事：

˙國王對籃網目前是主場八連勝的戰績。

˙Artest 的髮型.....

˙Frank(36) 是目前 NBA 最年輕的總教練，Musselman(42) 則排名第四。
