The Cleveland Cavaliers ended decades of sports heartbreak in the city Sunday night by beating the Golden State Warriors 93-89 in the deciding seventh game of the National Basketball Association Finals.
在星期日晚间举行的NBA总决赛第7场比赛中,克利夫兰骑士队以93比89的比分击败金州勇士队,荣获冠军称号,结束了克利夫兰几十年来夺冠乏力的心痛。
The championship breaks a 52-year drought for the city of Cleveland, which has endured teams in multiple sports getting close to winning only to fall short.
这是克利夫兰52年来的第一个冠军,此前各种比赛的球队多次与冠军失之交臂。
It also marks a special moment in the career of LeBron James, the Cavs star who grew up in nearby Akron, Ohio. He was drafted by the team when he entered the league in 2003, but left on bad terms to Miami where he won two championships before returning to Cleveland last season.
俄亥俄州阿克隆市是骑士队球星勒布朗·詹姆斯的家乡,对他的职业生涯来说,这场比赛具有特殊意义。2003年,詹姆斯通过选秀进入骑士队,后来加盟迈阿密热火队,离开时闹得很不愉快。詹姆斯在热火两次获得总冠军,他上个赛季回到骑士队。
The Cavaliers also did something never before accomplished in league history, coming back from a three games-to-one deficit in the final round to win.
在7场4胜制的总决赛中,骑士队先以1比3落后,最后实现逆转,这是NBA历史上的第一次。
James led the Cavaliers with 27 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds.
在星期日的比赛中,詹姆斯获得27分,并拿下11次助攻和11个篮板。
