Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan hit a buzzer-beating, game-winning 3-pointer for the second consecutive night Saturday, leading the Bulls to a 120-119 road victory over the Washington Wizards, their seventh straight win.
芝加哥公牛隊球星德馬爾·德羅贊週六連續第二晚打出贏得比賽的壓哨三分,帶領公牛隊以120-119客場戰勝華盛頓奇才隊,這是他們連續第七場獲勝。
DeRozan, who hit a game-winner Friday to defeat the Indiana Pacers, is the first player in NBA history with game-winning buzzer-beaters on consecutive days, according to Basketball Reference.
據《籃球參考報》報道,德羅贊週五擊敗印第安納步行者隊,是NBA歷史上第一位連續幾天投中壓哨三分絕殺的球員。
"Just to hit a buzzer-beater in general is amazing, especially when you do it on the road," DeRozan said on a video call after Saturday's game. "I don't know. I don't know if I'm dreaming. If it's real right now."
德羅贊在週六比賽後的一次視訊通話中說,總的來說,投中壓哨是神奇的,特別是在球進時。我都不知道。我不知道我是不是在做夢。”
buzzer-beater:壓哨球
He added: "It's just an honor to be trusted in the fourth quarter. Whether things are going good or going bad, my team, teammates always leaned on me to be that calm presence to bring us home. I always bring that calm presence as much as I can in the fourth quarter, letting guys understand, as long we got time we got a chance."
“在第四節值得信任是一種榮譽。無論事情是好是壞,我的團隊和隊友總是依靠我成為那種足夠冷靜的存在,把他們帶回家。在第四節,我總是儘可能多地讓隊友安心,讓人們明白,只要我們有時間,我們就有機會。”
After DeRozan caught an inbound pass from Coby White with 3.3 seconds remaining in the game, he dribbled into the corner, went for a shot fake because he figured a younger defender, like Wizards rookie Corey Kispert, would bite, and still had time to make sure he got his feet set.
在比賽還剩3.3秒時,德羅贊接住了科比·懷特的傳球,他運球進了角落,做了個假動作,因為他認為像奇才隊新秀科裡·基斯珀特這樣的年輕後衛會被晃起,且仍然有時間確保他可以跳起出手。
dribbled:運球
DeRozan finished with 28 points, nine rebounds and five assists. His shot at the buzzer was only necessary after Kyle Kuzma hit a go-ahead 3-pointer on the previous play.
德羅贊全場獲得28分9個籃板和5次助攻。在庫茲馬命中三分準絕殺後,他投中了壓哨反絕殺的三分。
"DeMar told me, 'Hold my beer,'" Kuzma said.
庫茲馬說,德羅贊告訴我,‘看我的’。
Hold my beer:美國俚語:大概意思是拿著我的啤酒等著我慶祝
The Bulls' winning streak, and a loss by the Brooklyn Nets, has Chicago sitting alone with the best record in the Eastern Conference at 24-10.
公牛隊的連勝和布魯克林籃網隊的失利讓芝加哥以24-10的比分在東部排名第一。
The Bulls have continued winning despite not being at full strength, but should be getting some reinforcements back next week. Lonzo Ball and Alfonzo McKinnie have both cleared health and safety protocols and should be on track to return for Monday's game against the Magic. Coach Billy Donovan will be eligible to return from the league's protocols then too.
儘管公牛隊不是最佳狀態,但仍在連勝,同時下週應該會得到一些人員的迴歸。鮑爾和阿方索·麥金尼都通過了健康和安全協議,應該有望重返週一對陣魔術隊的比賽復出。屆時,教練多諾萬也將有資格從聯盟的協議中迴歸。
"I'm quite relieved I can give this back to coach," acting Bulls coach Chris Fleming said with a laugh. "I was very fortunate enough to be able to experience this from the head coaching standpoint and see the guys from a little bit of a different side.
公牛隊臨時主教練克里斯·弗萊明笑著說:“我很放心,我可以把這個還給教練。”“我很幸運能從主教練的角度經歷這一切,從主教練的角度看那些球員。
"I told them after that I was thankful for the partnership and how hard they poured themselves into making the situation a good one. That's pretty much how their character has been all season. They've been resilient, they've handled other blows ."
“在那之後,我告訴他們,我感謝和他們擁有這段關係,以及他們為了勝利而付出的努力。他們整個賽季的角色幾乎就是這樣。他們很有韌性,他們處理了各種困難。”
DeRozan has continued to be at his best in the fourth quarter. During the final period, he is averaging eight points on 53% shooting and 54% from the 3-point line. He would be the first player in NBA history to put up that kind of production in the final period, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
德羅贊在第四節繼續保持著最佳狀態。在最後一節,他以53%的投籃命中率平均得分8分,3分命中率54%。根據ESPN的統計,他將是NBA歷史上第一位在最後一節交出這個資料的球員。
For someone who thrives on mid-range shots, DeRozan is an unlikely candidate to be the only player with two-game winning 3s this season. Although DeRozan is shooting from 3 more frequently, his 2.2 attempts per game would be his highest since 2017-18 -- he has still only made 25 total threes all season. Two have been game-winners.
"Thank God we have DeMar DeRozan on our team," Bulls guard Zach LaVine said.
對於一個以中距離跳投為主要得分工具的人來說,德羅贊不太可能成為本賽季唯一一個兩場比賽的最後3秒投中絕殺的球員。儘管德羅讚的三分投籃次數增加了,他每場比賽的2.2次嘗試將是2017-18年以來的最高值——他整個賽季仍然只投了25次3次。兩個是絕殺球。
公牛隊後衛扎克·拉文說,謝天謝地,我們的隊裡有德馬爾·德羅贊。
