With series tied, what to watch in Game 3 of the NBA Finals
http://www.thescore.com/nba/news/777501
PIVOTAL GAME?:
The Game 3 winner when the finals is tied 1-1 has gone on to
win the series 31 of 37 times, according to information provided to the NBA
by the Elias Sports Bureau. That stat hasn't meant much when James is
involved. His Heat rallied to win the series in 2013 after dropping Game 3 to
the Spurs, but lost to Dallas in 2011 after being ahead 2-1.
關鍵一戰?
過去,在前兩戰打平的情況下,拿下第三戰比賽勝利的37支球隊中,有31支球隊最終拿下
了系列賽的勝利,但這個統計結果對於LeBron James來說並不是那麼的準確;2013年,他
的熱火隊在總冠軍賽第三場輸給馬刺隊之後最終仍然奪冠,但2011年,他們卻在2比1領先
的情況下遭小牛隊逆轉。
ROAD WARRIORS
Golden State lost home-court advantage but has proven it can win on the road.
The Warriors set a franchise record with 28 road victories during the regular
season and are 5-2 away from Oracle Arena in the playoffs.
客場的勇士隊
雖然在第二戰沒有把握主場的優勢,但勇士隊在本季已經證實過他們在客場作戰的能耐,
拿下了28次客場的勝利;然而騎士隊在過去28場的主場比賽中只輸了2場。
PASS THE BALL
The Warriors had only 16 assists in Game 2 after finishing with 24 in Game
1, and they know they need to be closer to the latter number for their
offense to click.
''They are playing good defense, but I think a lot of it is on us,''
guardKlay Thompson said after Game 2. ''We're not playing like ourselves.
We're not moving the ball like we should. We only had 16 assists. That's not
us, man. We usually get 20, 25 when we're playing great. So we've got to move
the ball better and trust each other.''
傳球:
在第一戰拿下24次助攻之後,勇士隊在第二戰全隊只有16次助攻,而且他們知道要使進攻
變得順利,他們得要多送出一些助攻。
“騎士隊的防守做得非常好,但我認為許多責任在於我們自己本身,”Klay Thompson在
第二戰之後提到。”我們的發揮不如預期,球的流動差強人意,我們只有16次的助攻。這
不是我們應有的表現。當我們打得好的時候,我們常會送出20或25次助攻。所以我們得要
更加信任對方,並且加強球的流動。”
MIGHTY MOZGOV:
Timofey Mozgov averaged 16.5 points and 9.0 rebounds in the first two games,
outplaying counterpart Andrew Bogut, but was on the bench for much of the
latter part of Game 2. That's because the Warriors went with a small lineup,
not because of the way the 7-foot-1 Russian has done wrong.
強大的Mozgov:
Timofey Mozgov在前兩戰平均可以拿下16.5分和9個籃板,勝過對位的Andrew Bogut;但
由於勇士隊派出了矮小的陣容應戰,使這個7呎1吋的俄羅斯大個兒在第二戰的後半段坐足
了板凳。
MISFIRING MVP:
Stephen Curry is 15 for 43 in the series, but after shooting 5 of 23 in Game
2, knows his shot can start falling in Cleveland.
''I'm not going to let one game kind of alter my confidence,'' he said
Sunday. ''I know as a team we're not going to let one (game) alter our belief
that we're going to win the series.
''We've got to move on and be ready to play a good team that's ready to go
home.''
熄火的MVP:
系列戰至此,Stephen Curry的命中率為43投15中,但在第二戰慘烈的23投5中之後,我們
可以預期Curry能在到達克里夫蘭之後開始找回手感。
“我不會讓這樣一場球賽動搖我的信心,”Curry在星期天賽後說,”我知道身為一支球
隊,我們不會讓一場比賽改變我們的信念,我們將會贏下這個系列賽。”

心得:充滿變數的系列戰。
