Nuggets' Jamal Murray (elbow) 'feeling great' ahead of Game 7
Jamal Murray的手肘狀況在第七戰前感覺非常好
Nuggets star guard Jamal Murray is "feeling great" and went through
a full practice on Saturday, according to head coach Michael Malone.
Murray injured his right elbow when he ran into a screen set by Rudy Gobert in
the opening moments of Minnesota's 115-70 Game 6 rout of the Nuggets. Murray
said after the game on Thursday night that he hoped for his team's sake he
could get his elbow feeling right by Sunday's Game 7.
But at the end of Saturday's practice, Murray stayed late to get shots up and
could be seen drilling several 3-pointers in a row while an assistant coach
challenged the shots.
根據總教練Michael Malone的說法,金塊隊明星後衛Jamal Murray「感覺很好」
,並在週六進行了完整的訓練。
Murray在明尼蘇達以115-70大勝金塊的第六場比賽開局時,撞上Rudy Gobert的掩護,導致
右肘受傷。Murray在週四晚上的比賽後表示,他希望能在週日的第七場比賽前讓自己的肘
部恢復正常。
但在週六的訓練結束後,Murray留下來練習投籃,可以看到他連續投進了好幾個三分球,
旁邊還有一名助理教練在挑戰他的投籃。
"He feels great," Malone said after practice.
Asked if Murray is hungry to play well in Game 7 after shooting just 4-for-18
and scoring 10 points in Game 6, Malone said his point guard "looked very
hungry today."
"Look like he hadn't eaten in two days," Malone said. "So hopefully that
carries over tomorrow. I hope he doesn't eat until tomorrow until 6:00 p.m."
Murray is averaging 19.7 points on 50% shooting, including 42% on 3-pointers,
in Denver's three wins this series. In the three losses to Minnesota, Murray
is averaging 11.7 points and 26% shooting.
「他感覺很好,」 Malone在訓練後說。
當被問到在第六場比賽中投籃僅18中4、得到10分後,Murray是否渴望在第七場比賽中有
好的表現時,Malone說他的控球後衛「今天看起來非常的飢餓。」
「看起來他像兩天沒吃飯一樣,」Malone說。「所以希望這種狀態能延續到明天。我希望
他直到明天晚上六點之前都不要吃飯。」
Murray在這個系列賽金塊隊的三場勝利中場均得到19.7分,投籃命中率為50%,三分球
命中率為42%;而另外的三場失利中,Murray場均得到11.7分,投籃命中率僅為26%。
Game 7, though, won't be a new experience for Murray, Nikola Jokic and Malone.
Those three have been in four Game 7's since the 2019 postseason. They are 3-
1 in those games, winning their past two in the NBA bubble when the Nuggets
came back from down 3-1 to beat the Jazz and Clippers in the first two rounds
in 2020.
"The message is simple, man," Malone said of what he told his team. "Game 7's
are great. Enjoy it. Me, Jamal and Nikola, we've been part of four of those
games in our six years in the playoffs. That's why you work so hard to get
home-court advantage for, in front of the best fans in the NBA."And we know
that in Game 7, every possession matters. There can be no"my bad's" tomorrow."
然而,第七場比賽對於Murray、Nikola Jokic和Malone來說並不是新體驗。自2019年季後
賽以來,這三人已經參與了四場第七戰,他們在這些比賽中的戰績為3勝1負,最近兩次
在泡泡賽季中獲勝,當時金塊隊在2020年季後賽第一輪和第二輪分別從1-3落後,逆轉擊敗
爵士和快艇。
「很簡單,」Malone對他的球隊說。「第七場比賽很棒,享受它。我、Jamal和Nikola
在我們六年的季後賽中參加了四場這樣的比賽。這就是為什麼我們努力爭取主場優勢,
因為我們有最棒的球迷。」「我們知道在第七戰中每一回合都很重要。明天沒有甚麼犯錯
的空間。」
Michael Porter Jr., who has scored a total of 18 points in the past three
games, says the defending champs have plenty of big-game experience to lean on
. He also cited how the Nuggets beat the Wolves at home, 116-107, in the third
-to-last regular-season game when both teams were jockeying for home-court
advantage in the postseason.
"Game 7's are always great games," Porter said. "But we played in a lot of big
games, you know what I mean?
"... We had a similar game against them to decide what was supposed to be the
1-seed late in the season. So we played this team in big moments, and we're
looking forward to the challenge."
Michael Porter Jr.在過去三場比賽中總共得到了18分,他表示,衛冕冠軍有很多大賽經
驗可以依靠。他還提到,金塊隊在例行賽倒數第三場比賽中以116-107擊敗了灰狼,當時
兩隊都在爭奪季後賽的主場優勢。
「第七場比賽總是很棒的比賽,」Porter說。「但我們打過很多大比賽,你明白我的意思
嗎?」
「……我們在賽季末與他們有過一場類似的比賽,決定了1號種子的歸屬。所以我們在關
鍵時刻和這支球隊打過比賽,我們期待這個挑戰。」
