《跟哈登学英语》第七期——东部决赛

Kyrie Irving missed his seventh consecutive game Monday, but the Brooklyn Nets had no problem handling the Milwaukee Bucks, 125-123, in what could very well be a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals matchup this postseason.

欧文已经连续错过了七场比赛，但布鲁克林篮网队仍以125-123击败了密尔沃基雄鹿队，这很可能是本赛季东部决赛的预演。

①Milwaukee: 密尔沃基市: 是威斯康星州最大城市和湖港，位于密歇根湖西岸。密尔沃基市交通便利，工商业发达，距离美国工业最为集中的地区——芝加哥约200公里。约有10家世界500强公司和24家世界1000强公司的总部设在密尔沃基市，其中包括A.O.史密斯（A. O. Smith）、百力通（Briggs & Stratton）、Bucyrus、通用医疗（GE Healthcare）等。密尔沃基市也是美国著名的啤酒中心，拥有全美第二大啤酒公司——米勒啤酒公司（Miller）。

②matchup: 比赛

The Nets used a 37-point third quarter to create separation from the Bucks after entering the break with a one-point advantage at 57-56. After scoring just 11 points each in the first half, James Harden and Kevin Durant each scored in double digits in the third frame alone to propel the Nets to the win.

网队在第三节拿下37分，以57-56的比分领先雄鹿一分，拉开了与对手的差距。在上半场仅获得11分之后，哈登和杜兰特仅在第三节就各自取得了两位数的得分，带队取得了胜利。

①double digits: 两位数

A last-minute three from Durant helped stop a Bucks comeback and seal the victory to improve the Nets to 9-6.

杜兰特最后时刻的三分帮助球队锁定了胜利，阻止了雄鹿的反扑，将篮网战绩提高到了九胜六负。

①comeback: 翻盘

With Kyrie Irving in the midst of a seven-game absence because of personal reasons, opponents of the Brooklyn Nets have had to counter with just one superstar in Kevin Durant. That all changed Saturday when James Harden made his Nets debut, dropping 32 points with 14 assists and 12 rebounds alongside Durant's 42 points.

由于个人原因，欧文缺席了七场比赛，篮网队的对手只需要面对KD这一位超巨。周六哈登的首秀改变了一切，他以14次助攻和12个篮板得到了32分，而杜兰特则得到42分。

The Bucks didn't have to handle Irving on Monday, but they got a taste of the new-look Nets just the same.

雄鹿在周一还不用对付欧文，但他们还是在全新的篮网那儿尝到了苦头。

In the first half, they managed to limit Kevin Durant to just four-of-12 shooting from the field and kept both stars to just 11 points, but Joe Harris and Jeff Green also tallied 11 points each to prevent Brooklyn from falling behind.

在上半场，雄鹿成功限制了杜兰特，使KD只有12投4中，并且哈登KD两人都只得到11分，但乔哈里斯和杰夫格林也各得11分，防止了布鲁克林落后。

①tally: 合计

The Nets didn't have to depend on their secondary scoring for much longer. In the third quarter alone, Durant posted 11 points and Harden added 10 to give the Nets a five-point lead after three.

仅在第三节，篮网就不再依赖第二得分点了。杜兰特拿下11分，哈登砍下10分，使网队在一个三分后领先五分。

Green and Harris slowed a bit in the second half, with their point production limited after the break, but their early contributions were crucial to keeping the Nets competitive early. The pair was unstoppable beyond the arc, combining to hit nine of 12 three-point attempts on the night.

格林和哈里斯在下半场的效率有所下降，在休息后他们的得分受到限制，但他们的之前的发挥对保持网队的优势至关重要。两人在三分线外都势不可挡，在当晚的12次三分球投篮中有9次命中。

①break: 休息

Even DeAndre Jordan got in on the fun after a four-point first half. He notched his first double-double of the season by scoring 12 points and adding 12 rebounds.

甚至小乔丹在上半场拿下4分之后也开始大显神威。他砍下了12分和12个篮板，这是他本赛季的第一次两双。

①notch: 获得

②double-double: 两双

Antetokounmpo had a supporting act in Jrue Holiday, who tallied 22 points with six assists, while Khris Middleton collected 25 points with four steals, four rebounds and four assists.

霍乐迪给字母哥提供了火力支持，他送出6个助攻，得到22分，而米德尔顿得到25分，送出4次抢断，4个篮板和4次助攻。

But while the Bucks had high scoring from a select few and forced 17 turnovers on the Nets, they shot just 43 percent from the field and were no match for Brooklyn's depth and ability to perform at the last minute.

但是，尽管雄鹿队有部分球员砍下高分，并使篮网失误17次，但他们的投篮命中率仅为43％，这与布鲁克林的深度和最后一刻的完美表现难以相提并论。

The Nets hit the road for a back-to-back with the Cleveland Cavaliers—they'll play Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET, then again Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET.

篮网将踏上与克利夫兰骑士队背靠背的征程，他们将在周三晚上7点和周五晚上7:30进行比赛。

①hit the road: 上路

②Cleveland: 克利夫兰: 距离宾州100公里，是俄亥俄州凯霍加县的首府。

③cavalier/ˌkævəˈlɪə(r)/: 骑士

④ET: 东部时间 (Eastern Time)
