死神又歸來!杜蘭特紀錄之夜逆天改命

Quicken Loans Arena was loud for much of Game 3 on Wednesday night in Cleveland, but time after time, the noise and enthusiasm was dampened by one Kevin Durant, who put on a performance of a lifetime, scoring a playoff career-high 43 points in 43 minutes.

騎士主場作戰，他們的主場氛圍依舊火爆，爲騎士加油吶喊的聲音響徹速貸球館，但這些聲音和熱情一次又一次的被杜蘭特強壓下去。全場比賽杜蘭特在43分鐘的出場時間裏，砍瓜切菜般地得到季後賽新高43分。

All night, it was ridiculous shot after ridiculous shot. And then, with the game winding down, he made the crowd go quiet for good with one more.

在這個夜晚，杜蘭特一次又一次命中不可思議的投籃。隨着比賽結束的哨聲響起，阿杜再一次讓騎士球迷陷入死寂。

The pull-up 3-pointer with less than a minute to put the game away. You'll recall that Durant hit a similar shot in a similar situation in last year's finals from almost the exact same spot. When they needed him most, Durant responded—again. Durant was a monster in Game 3 to help the Warriors win 110-102 and put a 3-0 stranglehold on the series.

杜蘭特在距離比賽結束還有一分鐘時投進的幹拔三分徹底殺死了比賽的懸念。這一球，讓我們想起去年總決賽的時候也是杜蘭特用一記幾乎一樣的三分殺死比賽。當勇士隊最需要他的時候，杜蘭特又一次站了出來。在這場比賽裏杜蘭特杜蘭特化身死神，幫助勇士110-102擊敗騎士，使大比分來到幾乎鎖定系列賽勝局的 3-0。

"It's a different game, different season, different feel, different vibe around the team," Durant said about the similarities between Wednesday's big shot and the one from a year ago. "Everything is just different. my shots were there, I just take them patiently and with poise. I found some good spots."

當提到去年和今年比賽中的兩個關鍵三分有何異曲同工之妙時，杜蘭特表示：“這完全是兩場不同的比賽，兩個不同的賽季，我們球隊感受到的是不同的氣氛跟感覺。”

It was all right there for the Cavaliers. J.R. Smith hit some big shots on offense (though his defense was lacking). Rodney Hood, who played just four minutes in the first two games of the series, emerged from his postseason slumber and made a positive impression for the first time in a while.

儘管這場比賽騎士佔據天時地利人和：進攻端JR投進一些好球（儘管他的防守形同虛設）在系列賽前兩場比賽中只登場4分鐘的胡德也走出夢遊。

Kevin Love had a double-double. LeBron James had a triple-double. The Cavaliers were at home, and the building was loud. The Cavs had it—and then Kevin Durant took it away.

在比賽期間提供火力，樂福和詹姆斯更是分別砍下兩雙和三雙。騎士又是主場作戰，吶喊聲響徹球館。騎士佔據着場上的主動，可杜蘭特還是帶走了比賽。

Durant hit all kinds of shots during the game from all sorts of angles. He made beautiful jumpers and scored in transition and converted seemingly impossible, LeBron-like and-1 runners.

杜蘭特全場無死角地命中各種投籃。他不只能投進美如畫的跳投，反擊得分，又能像詹姆斯一樣打進不可思議的2+1。

KD also grabbed 13 rebounds and had seven assists, one of which was a nice look to Draymond Green. Durant was everywhere on Wednesday evening. He even offered Nick Young some friendly in-game advice.

全場比賽杜蘭特還貢獻13個籃板和7個助攻，其中包括給格林的一個秒傳。這個晚上，杜蘭特無所不能，他甚至給尼克楊傳授一些比賽建議。

"That was amazing what he did out there tonight," Steve Kerr said after the game. "I don't think anybody in the world can hit those but him. He was incredible."

“杜蘭特今晚做的一切都是那麼不可思議，我認爲沒有第二個人能命中他那樣的投籃，他真是令人難以置信”。勇士主教練科爾說。

LeBron is the best player of his era, and maybe the best player ever, but on Wednesday night, on the King's court, he was just like the rest of us—in awe of KD.

詹姆斯是這個時代最好的球員，也可能成爲NBA歷史最佳球員，但在週三晚上，在自己的領土裏，小皇帝也不得不像我們一樣膜拜死神杜。

"You guys asked me this last year, 'What was the difference between those Warriors and the year before?'" LeBron said. "'Kevin Durant' was my answer. He's one of the best players I've ever played against—that this league has ever seen."

“你們去年問我如今的勇士和幾年前有何不同，我的答案就是：凱文·杜蘭特。他是我遇到過的最厲害的對手，也時這個聯盟歷史上最厲害的”詹姆斯說道。

Sometimes, it's that simple.

有時候，事情就是那麼簡單。
