Some thought the fourth-quarter play Saturday on which Cleveland’s Shaquille O’Neal sent Boston’s Rajon Rondo sprawl-ing to the court’s floor in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series constituted a flagrant foul. So it was odd when Cavaliers Coach Mike Brown acknowledged that he sent tape of the foul to N.B.A. head-quarters for clarification.

有些人認(rèn)為在周六進行的東部半決賽第一場第四節(jié)比賽中沙克-奧尼爾將拉簡-隆多撞倒在地是一次惡意犯規(guī)。因此當(dāng)騎士隊主教練邁克-布朗表示他已經(jīng)向NBA總會提交這次犯規(guī)的錄像帶要求給予解釋時人們表示不解。

But Brown said he did not think it was a flagrant foul. He did not think it was a foul at all.

但是布朗說他認(rèn)為這不是一次惡意犯規(guī)，甚至他認(rèn)為那根本算不上是一次犯規(guī)。

“We haven’t gotten a response yet,” Brown said. “But I didn’t think that was a foul. He jumped straight up in the air. He blocked the shot, and Rondo’s shot was a one-foot floater. So Rondo’s one-foot floater carried him into Shaq."

“我們到現(xiàn)在還沒得到答復(fù)，”布朗說“但是我認(rèn)為那不是犯規(guī)。奧尼爾徑直起跳起來蓋掉了隆多的單腳拋投。因此是隆多的單腳拋投使他撞到了沙克?！?/div>

“Maybe I’m wrong, but I’ll see the response that I get from them. But it’s a physical game, and anybody that runs into Shaq is going to get knocked down. They’re not going to win that battle. But just like when we go to the hole, we expect to be challenged and sometimes get hit. I think it’s all a part of the game.”

“或許我是錯的，但是我要見到他們給我的答復(fù)。這是一項身體運動，任何人碰到沙克都會被彈開。他們不打算贏下這場戰(zhàn)斗。但是既然我們已經(jīng)走到這里，我們想要接受挑戰(zhàn)或許有時會遇到困難。但是我認(rèn)為所有這些都是比賽的一部分。”

O’Neal was assessed a personal foul on the play. Rondo shot two free throws, missing the first. That was the last of Rondo’s 27 points in the game, although he did not credit O’Neal with stopping his run in the Cavaliers’ 101-93 victory.

奧尼爾在那場比賽中被判罰為一次個人犯規(guī)。隆多獲得兩次罰球，第一罰偏出。隆多的個人得分也鎖定在27分，雖然以93比101敗北他卻沒有怪罪奧尼爾阻擋了他。

“It’s not him,” Rondo said. “It’s the floor.”

“不是他，”隆多說，“是地板?！?/div>

在NBA東區(qū)半決賽首回合較量中砍下27分的拉簡-隆多讓克里夫蘭騎士隊頭疼不已，但慶幸的是沙奎爾-奧尼爾在比賽尾聲的防守給了他的球隊吃了一顆定心丸。北京時間5月3日，美聯(lián)社撰文總結(jié)了凱爾特人問題所在，而隆多則表示并不懼怕奧尼爾的防守。

隆多在第一場比賽的大部分時間里都表現(xiàn)的呼風(fēng)喚雨，但奧尼爾的一次干凈利落的防守犯規(guī)狠狠地“教訓(xùn)”了這位年輕后衛(wèi)，2罰1中后隆多就再也沒有得分，“奧尼爾經(jīng)常對我做出這樣的犯規(guī)動作。”隆多說：“這樣的事情總會發(fā)生，但我仍然會繼續(xù)沖擊內(nèi)線?！?br>
吃了奧尼爾不少苦頭的隆多表示他并不害怕與“大鯊魚”沖撞，“不是怕他，是怕這么硬的地板。”隆多說。
