Boston-Golden State Looks Like Future Of NBA Universe
超賽跟勇士看起來就像是NBA宇宙中的未來 https://tinyurl.com/yaqcdk5h

Before Thursday night’s game at TD Garden, Golden State Warriors coach Steve
Kerr joked that “the fate of the universe” hung in the balance when his
defending NBA champs visited the Boston Celtics, the team Kerr had called “
the future” of the NBA’s Eastern Conference.
今日賽前當勇士造訪TD花園時, Kerr開玩笑的說宇宙的命運仍懸在兩隊上方
對於超賽, Kerr說他們將是東區的未來

To be clear, the NBA Finals start on May 31, 2018. Today is Nov. 16.
清楚的說, 總冠軍賽將在明年5/31開打, 今天是11/16.

But for 48 minutes Thursday, it felt like these two teams had the NBA
universe in the palm of their hands.
但在經歷了今天的48分鐘賽事後, NBA世界的未來就像被這兩隊掌握在手中一樣

The streaking Celtics, winners of 13 games in a row, without their second
best player in Gordon Hayward, took body shot after body shot from the
Warriors, but they never fell in a thrilling 92-88 win.
13連勝的Celtics, 陣中第二好手Hayward仍未歸隊
卻能在勇士一次次近身攻擊後馬上予以回擊, 最終92-88奪勝

Boston was unable to get anything going in the first quarter, as the Warriors
asserted their defensive will early, holding Boston to 32 percent from the
field and 20 percent from 3-point land to take a 10-point lead.
第一節Celtics在勇士的防守面前什麼都施展不開來, 僅有32%命中率(三分20%)
首節就被勇士領先了10分

That lead ballooned to 16 midway through the second quarter, but the “team
of the future” didn’t back down from the team that “revolutionized
basketball.”
第二節中落後拉大到16分, 但"未來"硬頸的沒在"籃球革命"面前倒下

Jaylen Brown, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, dominated the
final four minutes of the half to bring Boston within five at the break.
Golden State swelled the lead back to 17 in the third quarter, but the C’s
responded with a 19-0 run to take a two-point lead.
2016選秀探花的Jaylen, 在中場前四分鐘主宰了比賽, 讓Celtics僅以5分落後結束上半場
第三節勇士再度把比分拉大到17, 超賽卻又立刻回應了一波19-0攻勢反領先2分

With Hayward watching his team from the bench for the first time since his
horrific injury, the Celtics’ league-leading defense held the most potent
offense to 32 points lower than their season average, and their young stars
went toe-to-toe with the defending champions.
今天是Hayward傷後首次在場邊觀賽, 就看到了超賽引領聯盟的防守實力
讓最NBA最會得分的勇士, 今天比他們本季場均得分還少得了32分
還有超賽的年輕新秀們果敢的對著衛冕軍屢次的盯防

As the two teams went back-and-forth on the parquet floor, it wasn’t hard to
visualize the Celtics and Warriors being the center of the basketball
universe for the next five years.
看著超賽跟勇士在TD花園鋪木鑲花地板上你來我往的攻防
不難令人想像到, 未來五年這兩隊會處在籃球世界的中心綻放出耀眼的光芒

Sure, this was Game 16 of the 2017-18 season, not Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
But the Celtics and Warriors dueled like two teams destined to do this again
with much more on the line.
當然, 現在才是17-18球季的第16場比賽, 不是總冠軍賽第四場
但Celtis跟勇士, 真的就像是北斗南斗一樣註定會有更多次對戰的組合

Boston’s young stars, Jayson Tatum and Brown, showed no fear of two-time MVP
Stephen Curry and NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant, as the Celtics winning streak
hit 14 at the expense of the defending champs.
超賽的年輕球星Jayson Tatum跟Jaylen Brown
展現出了他們面對兩屆MVP Curry跟上屆FMVP KD的勇敢無畏
讓超賽得以擊敗衛冕軍拿下14連勝

Even without Hayward, the Celtics looked every bit the Warriors’ equal at TD
Garden, and they had the NBA world wondering if this would be the matchup
that would decide the fate of the NBA universe in the next few months and for
years to come.
即使少了Hayward, 超賽今天看來仍能跟勇士打的不相上下
並讓NBA世界中的人們開始覺得, 或許這就是明年跟未來幾年總冠軍賽的組合吧

It sure felt like it Thursday.
今天大家真的都有這種感覺
