Some standout games from Harden's30-point scoring streak


streak

---- a series of successes or failures, especially in a sport or in gambling
指体育比赛或赌博中一系列的成功或失败

 

哈登连续30分传奇的比赛中的经典

For the past two-plus months, James Harden could be counted on to score 30 or more points in a game. After 32 consecutive games of scoring 30 or more points, though, that run came to an end in the Houston Rockets' 119-111 home win against the Atlanta Hawks last night.

 

Consecutive adj.连续的

home win 主场胜利


Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain has the all-time mark for consecutive 30-point games at 65. For his part, Harden seemed relieved to have the streak done, saying after last night's game: "It was cool but I knew I wasn't going to get to No. 1." 


Hall of Famer NBA名人堂球员

seemed relieved 送了一口气

all-time mark for consecutive 30-point games at 65 历史上连续得分超过30+的记录,该记录是连续65场比赛得分30+

 

Harden last came up short of 30 points in a Dec. 11 win over Portland, when he had 29. During the streak, he scored 50 or more points four times, including a career-high 61 in a win at the Knicks on Jan. 23. And, already this season, he has joined Chamberlain, Michael Jordan and Rick Barry as the only players with 20 games of at least 40 points in the first 50 of a season.


short of 30 得分不到30分


全段大意:

哈登上一次得分低于30分是在12月11日战胜开拓者的比赛中,当时他得到29分。在得分超过30的连续比赛期间,他四次拿下50分或50分以上,其中包括在1月23日对阵尼克斯的比赛中获胜,哈登获得职业生涯最高的61分,。而且,这个赛季,他已经和张伯伦、迈克尔·乔丹和里克·巴里一样,成为唯一在赛季前50场比赛中至少有20场比赛中拿下40分的球员。

 

As we bid adieu to Harden's historic run, let's take a look back at some of his best performances from the 32-game streak ...

 

 adieu  法语  再见

 bid adieu to  向...道别

下面带大家来看看哈登打的那些巨星们!


Dec. 13, 2018: Getting it all started ...

Every streak has to start somewhere and, sorry Lakers fans, but you were the first victim. Harden not only scored 50 points, but also added 10 rebounds, 11 assists and two steals for his second triple-double of the season. For good measure, Harden scored 11 points in the final five minutes to help seal a 126-111 win.

 

Victim 受害者;牺牲品

rebound  n. 篮板

assist n.助攻

steal  n. (篮球比赛中)  抢断

triple-double 三双,指篮球比赛的数据统计中的三项:得分,篮板和助攻次数都是2位数以上


For good measure, Harden scored 11 points in the final five minutes to help seal a 126-111 win. 另外,哈登在最后五分钟拿下11分,帮助球队以126-111取得胜利。

Dec. 25, 2018: Harden shines bright vs. OKC


打雷霆


伪球迷YOYO介绍一下背景:

哈登当初是在雷霆队打替补的,第六人的位置,当时雷霆还有杜兰特和威少拉塞尔·威斯布鲁克(Russell Westbrook)。看看雷霆这冠军阵容,竟然没有得冠军,唏嘘啊。蓝后,当时雷霆队还有一个人叫伊巴卡,当时雷霆队的管理层就在商量到底是留下哈登和还是伊巴卡,最后管理层“明智”的决定留下伊巴卡,把伤心的哈登送去了火箭,于是成就了今天的巨星。后来,杜兰特也走了,所以,到底雷霆到底失去了什么?


不要再问为什么雷霆没有得冠军。

当然,现在雷霆队依然有威少,还有这个赛季表现非常好的泡椒保罗·乔治.

 

There's always an air of drama surrounding any Rockets-Thunder matchup from any number of storylines: the Harden vs. Russell Westbrook showdown, their past playoff matchups and their respective places in the Western Conference pecking order this season. Harden scored 41 on this night, marking his seventh straight game of 30 or more in the run. That was the most in the NBA since Westbrook had eight 30-point games back in November of 2016.


an air of 很地道的表达: 有一种...氛围(弥漫在)

matchup 对决;比赛

Showdown 决出胜负的较量;最后的决战

pecking order 排名

straight adj. 连续不断的

 

本段大意:

火箭和雷霆之间的对决总是充满了戏剧性:哈登和威少的对决,他们过去的季后赛对决,以及他们本赛季在西部的排名。哈登当晚得到41分,这是他连续7场30分以上的比赛。这是自2016年11月威斯布鲁克拿下8场30分以来NBA得分最高的一次。

Jan. 3, 2019: Warriors stung at buzzer 绝杀勇士


at buzzer 比赛中计时的蜂鸣器,指比赛结束;游戏结束


单核打勇士四星+裁判队


The Thunder, Celtics, Pelicans and Grizzlies all suffered losses fueled by 40-point efforts from Harden from Christmas Day to New Year's Eve. As the calendar turned to 2019, Harden saved a strong dose of scoring venom for the rival Golden State Warriors. He not only dropped 44 points on them -- his fifth straight game with 40 or more -- but nailed an improbable game-winning 3-pointer with 2.7 seconds left in OT to drop Golden State.

 

a strong dose of scoring venom  一剂得分毒液,也就是指哈登的致命绝杀

nailed an improbable game-winning 命中一个不可能的三分球

 

全段大意:

雷霆、凯尔特人、鹈鹕和灰熊都因为哈登从圣诞节到新年前夕40分的努力而遭受了损失。到2019年的时候,哈登为对手金州勇士队一剂致命绝杀。哈登不仅仅在比赛中得到44分,在加时赛还剩2.7秒的时候,命中了一个看似不可能赢球的三分球,将勇士队彻底击败。

Feb. 21, 2019: History for Harden


No one can take the second-longest 30-point scoring run away from Harden. That was assured on this date when he notched 30 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists against the Lakers. However, it was unlikely to be a truly memorable night for Harden. Why? He fouled out with 1:24 remaining and his Rockets blew a 19-point lead to LeBron James and Co. in stunning fashion. Still, no matter how this game is viewed, it will forever be a standout moment in Harden's career.

 

notched v.赢取;获得

fouled out  NBA规则六次犯规,就会被罚下场


全段大意:

哈登是目前NBA历史上连续得分30+的第二长的记录保持者(连续32场)。当他在对湖人的比赛中拿下30分,10个篮板和9次助攻的时候,这一切就确定了。然而,这对哈登来说不太可能是一个真正值得纪念的夜晚。为什么?他在比赛还剩1分24秒时被罚下场,火箭以惊人的方式将19分的领先优势被勒布朗·詹姆斯带领的湖人队翻盘。尽管如此,无论人们如何看待这场比赛,这都将是哈登职业生涯中最精彩的时刻。
