LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakersdispatched the defending champions, and are headed to the NBA Finals for the first time in four years.

洛杉矶——科比和洛杉矶湖人队淘汰卫冕冠军马刺队，四年来首次进入NBA总决赛。

 

Bryant scored 17 of his 39 points in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers rallied from an early 17-point deficit to beat the San Antonio Spurs 100-92 on Thursday night and win the Western Conference finals in five games.

周四晚上，科比在第四节砍下全场39分中的17分，帮助湖人在比赛早期落后17分的情况下，最终以100-92击败圣安东尼奥马刺队，从而在仅用了5场比赛的情况下就赢得了西部决赛。

 

The Lakers are 12-3 in the playoffs, including 8-0 at Staples Center, where they haven't lost in two months. They have won 14 straight home games and 21 of their last 24 postseason games at home.

They get a week off before opening the NBA Finals next Thursday night at Boston or Detroit. The Celtics lead the Eastern Conference finals 3-2 with Game 6 on Friday night.

湖人本赛季季后赛战绩为12胜3负，其中在斯塔普斯中心主场8战全胜。在过去两个月中，他们还没在主场输过球呢。湖人在主场赢得14连胜，而且过去在主场进行的24场季后赛比赛中他们取得了21场胜利。他们在NBA总决赛开战前获得一个星期的休息时间，总决赛对手将在凯尔特人和活塞队中产生。目前凯尔特人在东部决赛中以3-2领先活塞队，他们将在周五晚上进行第六场比赛。

 

A basket by Lamar Odom gave the Lakers an 83-76 lead with 5:40 remaining, but a 3-pointer by Brent Barry and a basket by Tony Parker drew the Spurs within two points. Manu Ginobili missed a 3-pointer that could have given San Antonio the lead before Bryant's jumper with 3:33 to play made it 85-81.

在比赛还剩下5分40秒时，奥多姆上篮得分，让湖人以83-76领先马刺，不过随后马刺巴里命中三分，托尼-帕克上篮得分，帮助马刺把分差缩小至2分。随后吉诺比利三分失手，这本来可以让马刺获得领先的。而在比赛还有3分33秒时，科比跳投中的，湖人85-81领先。

 

A foul shot by Duncan drew the Spurs within three, but two more baskets by Bryant made it 89-82 with 1:47 to play, and the Spurs weren't closer than five points after that.

接下来邓肯罚中一球，将分差缩小至3分。但是随后科比命中两球，湖人89-82领先马刺，比赛还有1分47秒。此后马刺再也没有能够将分差缩小至5分之内。

 

Odom added 13 points and eight rebounds, while Pau Gasol had 12 points, a career playoff-high 19 rebounds and five assists for the Lakers.

奥多姆为湖人添上13分和8个篮板；加索尔12分，同时抢下19个篮板，为其职业生涯季后赛单场最高，另外送出5次助攻。

 

Parker scored 23 points and Tim Duncan had 19 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists for the Spurs. Michael Finley scored 13 points, Barry and Kurt Thomas added 11 each and Ginobili was held to nine, shooting just 3-for-9.

马刺方面，帕克得到23分，邓肯三双，得到19分，15个篮板，10次助攻。芬利得到13分，巴里和托马斯各得11分，吉诺比利仅得9分，9投仅3中。

 

The Lakers clinched their berth in the finals a year to the day after Bryant called the team's front office "a mess" during a radio interview. A day later, he demanded a trade, ultimately saying he preferred playing on Pluto rather than returning to the team he joined as an 18-year-old in 1996.

湖人获得进入NBA总决赛的资格了，而在一年前科比在一次电台采访中还称球队高层混乱呢，随后一天，他要求交易，说他宁愿在冥王星上打球，也不愿再回到这支他在1996年18岁就加盟的球队了。

 

The situation calmed down until Lakers owner Jerry Buss told reporters during training camp in October he was listening to offers for Bryant, angering the superstar once again.

后来事态有所平静下来，但湖人老板巴斯在10月份训练营中告诉记者他愿意听听其他球队想得到科比的交易价。这又一次激怒了科比这位超级巨星。

 

But once the season began, Bryant bonded with his teammates, led the Lakers to the No. 1 seed in the rugged West and won his first MVP award.

但是，一旦赛季开始了，科比就将队友黏合在一起，最终率领湖人获得竞争激烈的西部联盟头号种子，并且获得他个人的首座常规赛MVP奖杯。

 

The Lakers will be playing in the finals for the 23rd time since moving from Minneapolis to Los Angeles in 1961 and the 29th time overall. They have won 14 championships -- nine in Los Angeles and five in Minneapolis.

这是湖人从明尼阿波利斯搬来到洛杉矶后的第23次闯入NBA总决赛，球队历史上总共29次闯入NBA总决赛。他们赢得了14次NBA总冠军，其中在洛杉矶9次，在明尼阿波利斯5次。

 

The Lakers and the Celtics have met 10 times in the finals, with Boston winning the first eight matchups and Los Angeles the last two -- in 1985 and 1987. That's the last time the Celtics advanced to the championship round.

历史上，湖人和凯尔特人十次在NBA总决赛中相遇，其中凯尔特人获得前八次对抗的胜利，湖人获得后两次对抗的胜利（1985年、1987年）。这也是凯尔特人最近一次闯入NBA总决赛。

 

The Lakers and Pistons have met three times in the finals, most recently in 2004, when Detroit won in five games. Shaquille O'Neal, who teamed with Bryant to lead the Lakers to three straight championships starting in 2000, was traded a month later, and the Lakers hadn't won a postseason series since until last month.

湖人和活塞在NBA3次在NBA总决赛中相遇，最近的一次是在2004年，那一年活塞队用了5场比赛就赢得了总冠军。一个月后，奥尼尔被交易，他曾经和科比一起率领湖人队获得三连冠（2000-2002）。奥尼尔走后，湖人直到上个月才首次获得季后赛系列赛的胜利。

 

San Antonio's elimination might signal the end of its era of dominance. With Duncan leading the way, the Spurs won championships in 1999, 2003, 2005 and 2007, but with a rotation made up solely of 30-something players except for the 26-year-old Parker, the future seems uncertain.

马刺遭到淘汰，有可能标志着他们球队的统治结束。在邓肯的率领下，马刺获得1999，2003，2005，2007四年的NBA总冠军。但是现在他们的轮换阵容除了26岁的托尼-帕克外，其他球员年龄都超过30，这让他们的未来显得并不明朗。

 

Meanwhile, starting guard Derek Fisher and seldom-used reserve Ira Newble are the only players on the Los Angeles roster over 30.

而在湖人队的名单中，只有先发后卫费舍尔和很少上场的纽伯尔超过30岁。

 

Ultimately, it was the Lakers' youth, quickness and athleticism that determined this series. The turning point occurred in Game 1, when the Spurs took a 20-point third-quarter lead before the Lakers outscored them 44-20 for an 89-85 victory.

最终，是湖人的年轻，速度和运动天赋决定了这个系列赛。转折点发生在第一场，那时马刺在第三节比赛中曾经领先多达20分，但是后来湖人在得分上以44-20领先马刺，并以89-85取得比赛的胜利。

 

San Antonio had a shot in Game 4, but the Lakers held on for a 93-91 victory that put the Spurs on the brink of elimination. And that came Thursday night.

马刺本来在第四场比赛时有机会扭转局势的，但是湖人以93-91战胜马刺，从而将马刺逼到被淘汰的边缘。然后就是周四晚进行的这场比赛了。

 

A 3-pointer by Luke Walton and baskets by Jordan Farmar and Bryant gave the Lakers a 74-68 lead with 8½ minutes remaining, and they were on top the rest of the way.

沃顿命中三分，法码尔上篮得分，科比也添上一球，让湖人在比赛还有8分半钟时74-68领先马刺，此后他们一直领先着。

 

The Spurs led by as many as 10 points early in the third quarter, but the Lakers turned up their defensive intensity during a 19-8 run that gave them a 61-60 lead -- their first since the opening minute. Bryant scored nine points during the spurt. Los Angeles led 64-63 entering the final period.

马刺在第三节初段曾经领先10分之多，但是随后湖人加强防守，打了一波19-8的高潮，让湖人61-60领先马刺，这可是湖人自开场一分钟后的首次领先。在这次攻击波中科比得到9分。湖人以64-63领先进入第四节。

 

The Spurs got 3-pointers from Finley, Ginobili and Barry during a 15-1 run that gave them a 33-16 lead early in the second quarter. The Lakers went nearly 7½ minutes without a field goal until Farmar scored three straight baskets to trim San Antonio's lead to 11.

在第二节开始不久，马刺队芬利、吉诺比利和巴里的三分，帮助马刺打出一波15-1的高潮，33-16领先湖人。而湖人在将近7分半钟内未命中一次投篮，直到法码尔连续命中三球，帮助湖人缩小分差至11分。

 

It was 46-31 before the Lakers went on an 11-2 run to finish the second quarter, cutting the Spurs' lead to 48-42.

湖人曾31比46落后，不过随后他们打出11-2的高潮，结束第二节，从而将比分定格为42-48，落后6分。

 

The Lakers wound up shooting 38-for-85 while the Spurs went 36-for-74.

湖人85投38中，而马刺74投36中。

 

Game notes

Only eight teams in NBA history have rallied from a 3-1 deficit to win a best-of-seven series. The Spurs are now 0-7 in such situations. ... Phoenix was the last NBA team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in a best-of-seven series, accomplishing the feat against the Lakers two years ago in the first round. ... Bryant attempted only 11 free throws in this series after attempting 96 against Utah. ... Ginobili, who turns 31 in July, and Duncan, who turned 32 last month, can hardly be classified as old in NBA circles. But Robert Horry is almost 38, Bruce Bowen is nearly 37, Barry is 36 and Finley and Thomas are both 35.

在NBA历史上只有8支球队在1-3落后的情况下，赢得七场四胜制的系列赛，马刺在这样的情况下，7次全部落败。太阳是最近一支在1-3落后的情况下取得7场4胜制系列赛的胜利，他们在两年前季后赛第一轮中面对湖人时获得这一成就。科比在这个系列是中仅罚球11次，而在对犹他时，他总共罚球96次。吉诺比利将在7月份满31岁，邓肯在上个月就已经年满32，这还不算是NBA的年老球员但是霍里年近38，波文年近37，巴里36，芬利和托马斯也已经35了。
