In the locker room during interviews, Derrick Rose speaks so softly, sometimes
it's difficult to hear what he has to say. You need to lean in a little further
with a voice recorder just to catch it.
在更衣室接受訪問時，這朵玫瑰總是輕聲細語，有時候你幾乎聽不到他在說些什麼。你必
須在卡到更靠近他的位置後，才能藉助錄音機來跟上他的談話內容。
On Saturday, no one could catch Rose and he didn't need to say a word. His play
spoke volumes.
但在這個星期六，場上沒有任何人能夠跟的上他的腳步。他也毋須再多說些什麼，他的表
現本身就是最強而有力的發言 -- 有青，才敢大聲!!!
The rookie, in his first Playoffs game, torched the Celtics for 36 points, 11
assists and four boards as the young Bulls ran past the defending champs 105-
103 in overtime in Game 1 of a first-round series.
這朵玫瑰在他生涯第一場的季後賽中以36分、11助攻以及4個籃板的成績將老練的賽亞人刺
的遍體鱗傷，而在他的領導下普賽也在延長賽中以103-105的比數成為了這一批年輕公牛的
蹄下亡魂。
After watching what Rose did to the Celtics -- which was pretty much whatever
he wanted -- it seems silly that there was even a debate last June as to who
would go No. 1 overall in the NBA Draft, Rose or Michael Beasley. That's no
knock on Beasley. But nofew rookies have had the kind of season Rose has had,
and only one has had the kind of postseason debut Rose did.
在看到了這位新秀盡情蹂躪賽亞人的比賽後，再回想去年六月時針對玫瑰與Beasley到底誰
才是名副其實的選秀第一順位的各種口水戰，如今一切看來實是十分可笑，雖然這無疑與
必勝兄的馬後砲沒有兩樣。當然這並不是說Beasley不好，只是在新人年就能有玫瑰這種表
現的新秀並不多，且史上只有唯二新秀可在季後賽的首度亮相便繳出如此亮眼的成績單。
His 36 points tied Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -- who scored 36 in his postseason
opener for the Milwaukee Bucks in 1970 -- for the finest "Here I am world!"
moment in NBA Playoffs history. That's some fine company to be in. Yet, what
may have been most impressive was Rose's calm. He seemed in control of
everything, and the young Bulls fed off it.
36分的表現讓他得與"天鉤"賈霸在這項紀錄上齊名。賈霸在1970年為密爾瓦基公鹿隊首度
出戰季後賽時也取得了36分。這兩位代表了NBA史上最有說服力的新秀宣言: 我準備好了
，聯盟已經準備好了，那麼你 -- 準備好了嗎? 除此之外，更令人印象深刻的便是他的沉
著與冷靜。就如當年的田單般運籌帷幄，從容的指揮著火牛陣大破賽亞人的主堡。
Rose's most important quarter was the third, when he went 5-for-6 from the
field and scored 13 points to help keep Chicago in the game. The Bulls had
taken a nine-point lead into halftime, but Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo had
eight points apiece and the Celtics led by one heading into the fourth quarter.
此戰玫瑰挺身而出之時是在第三節，6投5中並取得13分的表現使得公牛得以繼續與賽亞人
纏鬥。中場結束時原本公牛還帶有9分的領先優勢，但在第三節真理以及軟豆的覺醒讓他們
各自取得了8分，並帶領著綠杉軍以1分領先的優勢進入了第四節。
On Saturday, it was Chicago that handled the game's ebb and flow, better than
the Celtics, who have played 26 Playoffs games in the last two seasons. Maybe
it's that experience, however, that cost the Celtics, who may believed the
young Bulls would cower in fear of the mighty Celtics and the 18,000-plus
green-clad, towel-waving fans at the Garden.
很明顯的這場比賽主導整個局勢的是稚嫩的公牛，而非已身經26場季後賽的超賽們。老練
的超賽們低估了公牛的戰鬥力(史考特可能需要更新了...)。他們認為憑著賽亞人的驕傲
以及主場18,000名觀眾的吶喊助陣便可將新手公牛嚇的心膽俱裂，沒想到盲拳打死老師父
，栽跟頭的反而是綠杉軍。
Boston coach Doc Rivers, who gingerly climbed the stairs in the postgame press
conference as if he had just played 53 minutes, was peeved, as miffed as some
local media said they had ever seen him. He had good reason to be.
綠杉軍的教練河流在賽後的記者會上以沉重而緩慢的步伐登上了採訪台，就好似他剛剛也
在場上打了53分鐘的比賽般。眉宇間所流露的蘊怒與首次中拳的斷水流大師兄不遑多讓，
當地媒體也承認這是他們首次看到河流如此的不爽。但若你想想河流與大師兄的處境，那
麼這一切都是非常合理的。
He said the Celtics coaching staff harped on transition defense in practice.
Yet the first hoop of the game was an alley-oop dunk by Joakim Noah on a fast
break. The Celtics got hammered on the glass, 53-45, after Rivers told his guys
that they had to be the aggressors. Instead, with the possible exception of
point guard Rajon Rondo -- who had a nifty game with 29 points, nine boards and
seven assists -- the Boston aggression was absent.
他說之前在練習時教練團已多次的強調了球權轉換間防守的重要性，阿結果開賽後進的第
一球便是Joakim Noah在快攻中所完成的空中接力灌籃，靠盃是說心酸的喔? 河流也告訴他
們我們賽亞人生存的意義便是為了戰鬥，所以在比賽時要更積極，更有侵略性，結果到最
後籃板球卻以45-53輸了八個之多。除了這場比賽拿下29分、9籃板跟7助攻的軟豆外，其餘
的賽亞人似乎都已將他們的驕傲拋諸腦後。
And then there was the specter of Kevin Garnett, sharp in a grey suit on the
bench in the first half, conspicuously absent from the pine in the second.
而開賽時穿著灰色西裝坐在板凳上觀戰的真男人也上演了一幕"消失的KG"，在半場休息結
束後人便已不知去向。
Rivers for one, didn't want to hear about Garnett's absence hurting the team.
He nearly channeled his inner Rick Pitino when the situation was broached.
河流顯然不想再針對KG缺賽對綠杉軍所造成的影響多做評論。當討論到這個問題時河流的
處境當下顯得與當年的Rick Pitino有些神似。
註: Rick Pitino當年也執掌過塞爾提克兵符，但在當時當地球迷與媒體期望他重現塞爾提
克榮耀的壓力下他做的並不出色。他的名字現今已用來借喻那些無法重拾往日光輝表現的
球隊們。
"Guys, Kevin is not playing in this playoffs," Rivers said. "I'm not answering
Kevin Garnett questions. I didn't even notice, honestly, until someone told me
that he wasn't on the bench and I could care less.
"你嘛卡拜託勒，真男人這一系列賽根本不會上場。"，河流表示。"我不會再回答任何有關
他的問題。說實在的，要不是有人跟我說 "KG不見了!" 我根本就不會發現，也不會去在意
這個狀況。
"You know, hell, he was on the bench in the first half and we were down eight
[actually nine]. So this is about the players in uniform. Kevin is gone. And he
ain't coming back. The guys in uniform have to play."
"你要知道，前半場比賽打完他還在場時我們卻落後了八分 (記者吐槽: 九分了啦，幹，你
有看比賽嗎? 看完比賽再來說嘴啦)。這件事跟上場比賽的球員們有關。雖然KG憑空消失且
沒有再回來，但我們的球員還是得繼續比賽。"
On Saturday, it was the guys in the red, not the home whites, who played, or at
least who played better. The Celtics' All-Star tandem of Ray Allen and Paul
Pierce started slowly and together had eight points at the half. Pierce heated
up and finished with 23, but it took him 21 shots and on Saturday, as he did on
Feb. 5 against the Lakers, he missed one of two free throws near the end of
regulation. Making both would have given the Celtics a one-point lead. Instead,
the two teams headed to overtime. Not coincidentally, the Celtics lost that
game to L.A. in OT as well.
但星期六在球場上表現較好的是客隊的紅衫軍(不是泰國那群)，而不是主場身著白色球衣
的賽亞人。看家球星真理和雷槍這場的前半都還在熱機，兩個人只合拿了8分。熱完機的
真理雖然在下半場有所表現最後全場攻下了23分，但這個數據卻是出手了21次才換來的。
而就跟在2/5對戰湖人的比賽中一樣，在正規賽尾聲的罰球他兩罰只中了一球。若他兩球
都罰進的話超賽便有一分的領先優勢，或許就不必進行延長賽了。在延長賽中超賽就跟
2/5的比賽一樣最終以輸球收場。
Allen, meanwhile, never got on track, going 1-for-12 from the field. He
finished with four points.
雷槍整場則跟大三零沒兩樣，卡彈的他投12只中1，全場只攻下了4分。
The Celtics may eventually be able to weather Garnett's absence. They can't,
however, survive if one of the two remaining All-Stars is off his game.
超賽或許可以慢慢習慣沒有真男人的日子，但若剩餘的兩巨頭中有一個幌神，那麼他們十
之八九會GG。
For Chicago, the story wasn't all Rose. Noah, the second-year center, played
with his trademark energy and had 11 points and 17 rebounds. Tyrus Thomas, who
shot 16-for-41 in his first 10 playoff games, went 8-for-12 in his 11th. Backup
center Brad Miller couldn't hit a shot, but he did pull down 12 boards.
而年輕的公牛也並不完全是倚賴玫瑰一個人。二年級的Noah在這場比賽中充滿了激情和能
量，得了11分並抓下了17個籃板。Tyrus Thomas在他前十場的季後賽中出手了41次卻只命
中了16球，不過在這次的第11場他出手12次並進了8球。替補中鋒大米手感欠佳沒有得分，
但也襯職的抓下了12個籃板。
But in the end, the story was about Rose. The Garden fans were beside
themselves with glee when the rookie fouled out in overtime. Even then, Rose
didn't stamp his feet or complain. He threw his hands in the air and then
quietly walked to the end of the bench.
但到了最後大家的焦點還是在玫瑰的身上。當在延長賽中這位新秀犯滿而必須離場時全場
球迷簡直是欣喜若狂，不過玫瑰並沒有耍任何小脾氣也沒有絲毫的抱怨。他乖乖的舉起了
手然後安靜的離場到板凳區就座。
That doesn't surprise anyone who's been around Rose this season. As Del Negro
took questions after the game, Rose entered the press room undetected and stood
quietly in the back, a soft drink in his hand, listening to his coach praise
his maturity for his 20 years, his poise and his decision making. Rose didn't
blink.
和他相處了整個球季的隊友對此都感到不意外。賽後當公牛教練「怒吼帝君」Del Negro
接受媒體採訪時玫瑰手上拿著一罐飲料像一隻貓般安靜的潛入了採訪室。聽著教練對他大
肆褒獎，稱讚他的成熟冷靜以及他解讀比賽的能力，玫瑰卻絲毫不為所動。
He opened plenty of eyes on Saturday, yet Del Negro declined to call it a
coming out party. As the coach pointed out, the favorite for Rookie of the Year
has been here all season.
玫瑰當天的表現讓許多人眼睛為之一亮，但Del Negro卻拒絕承認這場是他的代表作。怒吼
帝君認為這位年度最佳新秀呼聲最高的候選人整季以來的表現都一直是這麼的出色。
"We've been on national TV a lot," Del Negro said. "If you're not familiar with
Derrick, you're not a basketball fan."
"我們常出現在全國直播上。"，Del Negro說道。"若不認識玫瑰，別說你看過NBA!"
