第四戰馬刺輸掉了比賽同時也輸掉了對戰優勢
One view is that San Antonio squandered an opportunity to push the Clippers to
the playoff ledge.
有個觀點是說馬刺浪費掉能把快艇擠退到懸崖邊的好機會
Now the Spurs and Clippers stand tied at 2-2 in the best-of-seven series,
both teams knowing the winner of Game 5 on Tuesday night at Staples Center
will leave one of them on the brink of elimination.
現在馬刺跟快艇在搶七大戰中以2比2扯平局面, 雙方都很清楚拿下第五戰的人就可以把
對方推向淘汰邊緣
"The whole point is to get to four," said Spurs forward Tim Duncan after the
Clippers' win Sunday to even the series. "You get three, you have a better
chance, obviously. It's not over until you get that fourth game.
石佛TD說, 重點是拿下四場勝利, 很顯然的三勝只是代表你有更好機會勝出而已, 第四
勝沒到手之前比賽都還沒終止的
"The close-out game is going to be tough no matter which way it goes. But the
one in front of us right now is this fifth game. It's on the road. It's on
their home court. That's good for them, obviously. But we've won there
before."
無論比賽未來會以什麼形式呈現, 我想關門戰一定會是很艱難的, 但現在我們面前要面
對的就只是第五戰, 還是在客場, 快艇的主場這對快艇來說很有利, 但我們有在那贏過
Before the start of Game 4 on Sunday, the Spurs appeared to be in control of
the series.
第四戰賽前, 這系列的主導權看來是在馬刺手上的
They had won two straight games, had taken away the home-court advantage from
the Clippers with a stirring overtime victory in Game 2 in Los Angeles and
had the next two games in AT&T Center, where the Spurs were 33-8 during the
regular season.
馬刺連贏兩場, 第二戰靠著延長賽的勝利把主場優勢從快艇手中搶了過來, 接著回馬刺
主場打接下來的兩場比賽, 而本季馬刺主場戰績是33勝8敗
The Spurs won Game 3 with ease, riding the wave of Kawhi Leonard's brilliant
performance.
靠著超新星
