If you're the Portland Trailblazers, you've heard all those descriptions over the years and look there.

如果你是波特蘭開拓者隊，這些年你聽過這些描述，看看那裡。

But the thing about Damian Lillard and C.

McCollum is that they aren't here to be anyone's cute little spoilers.

麥科勒姆是，他們不是來做任何人的可愛小破壞者的。

Which is why, when the Blazers had a rough preseason, it raised some eyebrows.

這也是為什麼，當開拓者隊在季前賽中表現不佳時，會引起一些人的注意。

It's why there was even more talk after Portland turned in a 20 point loss in its season opener, a game in which Lillard Gasp went on a scoreless streak in the first half.

這也是為什麼在波特蘭在賽季首戰中交出20分的成績單，這場比賽中，利拉德-加索普在上半場連續不得分的情況下，更有話題。

Yes, Portland had dealt with a rash of covert absences.

是的，波特蘭處理了一連串的暗中缺席。

But wasn't this the team that had one of the best off seasons in the NBA?

但這支球隊不正是NBA休賽期最好的球隊之一嗎？

With use of Nurkic back at full strength?

在使用努爾基奇全力迴歸的情況下？

With Gary Trent Junior blossoming and Robert Covington and Derrick Jones Jr coming aboard, questions piled up about why the Blazers weren't better.

小加里-特倫特開花結果，羅伯特-考文頓和小德里克-瓊斯也來了，問題堆積如山，為什麼開拓者隊沒有更好。

It turns out that those questions were being asked internally to and what has happened since, Well, no one is winning a title in Game two or three of the regular season, but it is hard to get where you wanna go if you're not even walking down the right road.

原來這些問題在內部被問到，後來發生了什麼，好吧，沒有人在常規賽的第二場或第三場比賽中贏得冠軍，但如果你連路都沒走對，就很難到達你想去的地方。

And Portland seems at least finally to have found its path first over the weekend and overtime thriller against Houston, in which C.

而波特蘭似乎至少終於在週末和加時賽對陣休斯敦的比賽中首先找到了自己的道路，其中C。

It was hardly a statement when the Rockets only had nine players available to to their own cove.

當火箭隊只有9名球員可以到自己的小窩時，這幾乎不是一個說法。

But it's your felt noisy, especially when McCullum, who had spent four days listening to his name come up in hardened, freed report, buried the game winning three with six seconds on the clock.

但這是你的感覺嘈雜，特別是當麥卡勒姆，花了四天時間聽他的名字出現在硬朗，自由的報告，埋下了遊戲勝利三與6秒的時鐘。

Afterward, he said quote, I know I'm nice, which is amazing.

之後，他說了一句話，我知道我很好，這很神奇。

And then last night, a date with the defending champs, the team that had knocked the Blazers out of the bubble with both LeBron and A D on the floor.

然後昨晚，與衛冕冠軍的約會，這支曾在勒布朗和A D都在場上的情況下，將開拓者淘汰出局的球隊。

And despite some streaky play, the Blazers past Gary Trent Jr was exceptional off the bench, hitting from everywhere to finish with 28.

而開拓者過去的小加里-特倫特儘管打得有些磕磕絆絆，但他在替補席上的表現卻非常出色，處處都能打出28分的成績。

Nurcan and his Kanner combined for 26 rebounds and Damian Lillard just caught fire when he had to move like this on his way to a 31 point night.

努爾坎和他的坎納合力拿下了26個籃板，達米安-利拉德在今晚31分的情況下，不得不這樣移動，他就火了。

Yeah, you can check out the handles on the way to the and one.

是的，你可以在去往和一的路上檢查一下把手。

But the real story was the Blazers defense, which had been the focal point of the front office this offseason.

但真正的故事是開拓者隊的防守，這一直是今年休賽期前臺的焦點。

The Blazers have been trying a revised scheme, even bringing an ex Bulls head coach, Jim Boylan, on a three week stint to help implement it.

開拓者一直在嘗試修改方案，甚至請來了前公牛隊的主教練吉姆-博伊蘭，為期三週的時間來幫助實施。

Whatever click for the team defensively in the second half of the Houston game was on full display against the Lakers, with Rocco all over the place making steals, deflections, even making Anthony Davis looked like a mayor mortal as Davis finished the game with just 13 points.

不管球隊在休斯敦比賽下半場的防守有什麼點擊，在對陣湖人的比賽中都得到了充分的體現，羅科全場搶斷、防守，甚至讓安東尼-戴維斯看起來像個市長的凡人，因為戴維斯在比賽中只得到13分。

Meanwhile, Derek Jones Jr full airplane mode on LeBron bounding in from the three point line to give the finals m v p a taste of one of his own signature moves.

與此同時，小德里克-瓊斯全場飛機模式對勒布朗從三分線外束手就擒，讓總決賽m v p嚐到了自己的招牌動作之一。

The Lakers had gone into the night 59 0 in games, which they led after three quarters.

湖人隊在三節過後的比賽中曾以59 0領先。

That had been the fifth longest streak in NBA history, and the Blazers broke it.

這曾是NBA歷史上第五長的連勝紀錄，而開拓者隊打破了這一紀錄。

It was a well rounded win in a shortened season where everyone counts a little more than usual.

在這個縮短的賽季，每個人都比往常多了一些算計，這是一場全面的勝利。

Only time will tell what wins like this being.

只有時間才能證明像這樣的勝利被。

Is it one of those impressive sparks the Blazers have lit all the time over the past few years?

But they're contenders to be contenders, and that's a good step for the places you have to put them behind.

但他們是競爭者，要成為競爭者，這對你必須把他們放在後面的地方來說是一個很好的步驟。

After what Denver did in the bubble, you have to put them behind all those teams in that next year of teams.

在丹佛在保麗龍中的所作所為之後，你必須把他們放在所有這些球隊的後面，在那明年的球隊中。

Last season has been, said Covington Jones, the return of Zach Collins.

上賽季已經，科文頓-瓊斯說，扎克-科林斯的迴歸。

他必須保持健康，因為我認為，就像你說的小後衛，當，當，當，當你看到盧卡試圖張貼這些傢伙，你可以扔一個考文頓在他身上，然後來，採取後衛1到4，也許一些五。
