OAKLAND – The Golden State Warriors have a chance to close out the L.A.
Clippers in Wednesday night’s Game 5. A chance to eliminate their longtime
rivals is something the Warriors likely won’t take lightly. One player who
likely won’t take this Game 5 as just another game is Golden State center
Kevon Looney.
勇士隊在G5有機會解決掉快艇，勇士終結掉這個漫長的對手的理由可能不是勇士隊會搬上
檯面來說的。而其中一個人不會只是把G5當作一場普通的比賽，那個人就是Looney。
The fourth-year center is playing a significant role in this series with
DeMarcus Cousins now likely lost for the postseason. Through four games,
Looney is averaging 9.3 points and 4.5 rebounds on 79 percent shooting from
the field. He’s been a solid interior defender and really made his impact
felt on the boards against the undersized Clippers.
這位四年級生中鋒在表弟很可能季後賽都不能上場後扮演重要的腳色，過去四場比賽他交
出了場均9.3分4.5籃板79%fg的成績，在對抗快艇的系列賽中，他會是勇士隊內線關鍵的防
守者。
Ahead of Game 5, Looney opened up about the longtime rivalry between the
Clippers and Warriors.
在G5開賽前，Looney談了一下勇艇之間的恩怨情仇。
“Coming in my rookie year, you could definitely tell it was a rivalry
between the Clippers and the Warriors,” said Looney, who played his rookie
year in the 2015-16 season. “It seemed like they hated each other and as a
rookie coming in, I didn’t understand why. I didn’t really watch that much,
so I didn’t know what the rivalry was about.”
「當第一年到勇士時，我才發現勇艇之間有著宿敵關係」2015球季還是勇士菜鳥的Looney
這樣說，「感覺他們彼此憎恨著對方，身為一個菜鳥我不知道這是怎麼一回事，我不常看
他們的比賽，所以我不知道箇中原由。」
The Clippers, Warriors, and each team’s respective fanbases had a history of
disliking each other since the 2014 playoffs. Their physical, heated
seven-game series concluded in dramatic fashion with the Clippers taking Game
7, 126-121.
勇艇之間的宿敵關係可以追朔到2014年季後賽，這系列賽打得難分難解火藥味十足，最終
在G7時快艇以126-121，帶走了勝利。
Later that year, Christmas Day 2014 would be the Clippers’ last victory
against the Warriors for the next three years. That run ended when Lou
Williams dropped 50 points and seven assists on the road for the win. Looney
came into the league for the 2015-16 season, so he wasn’t around for the
original rivalry. He did, however, mention the rule the Warriors had since
before he even arrived.
而接下來2014年的聖誕大戰，就是快艇接下來三年裡唯一一次贏過勇士的比賽
了，上場盧長老得了50分7助攻，才停止了這連敗紀錄。Looney在2015年到了勇士，所以他
沒參與到勇艇之間的你死我活。但他注意到他來之前，勇士就有條潛規則。
“I know when I first came in, that was the number one rules: ‘We don’t
lose to the Clippers,'” said Looney. “I’ve seen a lot of great games from
Steph and Klay versus them.”
「我一來勇士的時候知道天字第一條規定就是：我們不能輸給快艇。」Looney這樣說，
「我見證了很多場對陣快艇的比賽時，浪花兄弟大發神威。」
While fans still go at it, it’s unlikely the teams still have that level of
dislike for one another. The players who were on the Clippers roster the last
time the two met in the playoffs is no more. The lone person who remains is
head coach Doc Rivers.
當兩隊球迷繼續保持這種火藥關係時，這兩隊之間的宿敵關係卻已經不像以往那樣了，因
為快艇重組後當年勇艇季後賽的成員裡面，現在只剩河流一人了。
Game 5 between the Clippers and Warriors will tip off at 7:30 PM PST on TNT.
L.A. will look to stave off elimination while the Warriors look to advance to
the second round.
G5的比賽晚間在TNT播出，快艇會頑強抵抗，而勇士則想進入下一輪。
KD：KD怎沒聽說過這潛規則？
