Caris LeVert had Phoenix's play-in tournament fate in the palm of his hands as the final seconds ticked away.
卡里斯-勒韦尔在比赛的最后几秒时间掌握着太阳队的命运。
Nearly unguardable all night, LeVert dribbled toward CJ McCollum, got a clean look on a 23-footer, but misfired to conclude Brooklyn's 134-133 loss Thursday night to Portland.
勒韦尔几乎整晚都势不可挡，他运球运向麦科勒姆，在23尺处获得空位机会，出手，但是打铁了。最终篮网队在周四晚上以133:134以一分之差输给了开拓者队。
"I just tried to read the defense," said LeVert, who finished with a team-high 37 points. "I feel like they were playing for the drive. I got to watch it again. These are those shots I practice each and every day. I'll live with that shot.”
轰下了全队最高的37分的勒韦尔说：“我试图阅读防守，我感觉他们准备防我上篮。我得回去看一下录像，这些投篮是我每天都会训练的。我依靠这些而生存。”
The Suns lived and died with that shot.
太阳队因为这个投篮经历了生死。
They could only watch and hope LeVert connected to stun Portland so they could advance to the play-in tournament. That helpless feeling is something Monty Williams doesn't want Phoenix to forget or experience again.
他们只能眼睁睁的希望勒韦尔将开拓者打花才能晋级。这种无能为力的感觉是太阳队主教练蒙蒂-威廉姆斯不希望球队忘记或者再次经历一遍的。
"We want to be the kind of team that controls your own destiny," said Williams in his postgame speech to the players, which TNT aired after the Suns defeated the Mavericks earlier Thursday.
在周四稍早些时候TNT转播的太阳队打败独行侠队的比赛后，威廉姆斯对全队说：“我希望我们成为那种能掌握自己命运的球队。”
The Suns (34-39) now have to leave the Orlando Bubble despite going 8-0 in seeding play while Portland and Memphis nowbattle for the eighth and final playoff seed in the Western Conference.
现在，34胜39负的太阳队即使在复赛中取得8连胜，他们也必须离开奥兰多了。灰熊和开拓者将争夺西部最后一个季后赛席位。
"It's on us," Suns point guard Ricky Rubio said. "We put ourselves in a situation where we were behind too much, but then we put ourselves in a situation we can make it. So of course, it will be frustrating, 8-0 and don't make it, but it's on us. We can't blame nobody. We got to learn and we got to take care of business before it's too late."
“这只能怪我们”，太阳队的控球后卫里奇-卢比奥说：“我们之前挖的坑太大了，虽然我们努力填坑，但是8连胜仍然不能让我们进季后赛，这真的很沮丧。但是这只能怪我们自己，我们无法责怪其他人，我们必须学习在一切都太晚了之前解决好问题。”
Before dealing that dose of reality, an emotional Williams praised his players for their impressive bubble run and expressed his affection and appreciation for them.
在面对现实之前，情绪激动的威廉姆斯赞扬了球员们在复赛中的出色表现，并毫不吝啬他的赞美和喜爱之情。
"This has been therapeutic for me to be around a group like this," Williams said. "I got to tell you guys I love you."
“和你们这群人在一起有益健康”威廉姆斯说：“我必须告诉你们，我爱死你们了！”
They were the only unbeaten team after the NBA restart in Orlando, pulled off their longest winning streak since the 2009-10 season and earned the respect of the league for how they performed.
NBA在奥兰多复赛后，他们是唯一一支不败的球队，这也取得了太阳队自2009-10赛季以来的最长连胜纪录并通过出色的表现，他们赢得了全联盟的尊重。
"That's huge," Suns guard Jevon Carter said. "All year, we always felt like we weren't respected. Had 82 games (originally scheduled) this year, one was nationally televised. Came to the bubble, one was nationally televised until we started winning. It was like, what do we have to do to gain the respect and I think coming here and going undefeated, I feel like we did our jobs."
“这太重要了”，太阳队后卫杰文-卡特说：“一整年了，我们都感觉自己不被尊重。一个赛季82场比赛（原计划），我们只有一场全国直播。我们来到了复赛场地，直到我们开始连胜之前，也只安排了一场全国转播。这就好像我们必须做些什么来赢得尊重，我们来到这里，保持全胜。我感觉我们完成了任务。”
As much as Phoenix did and proved, it still had to rely on another team to determine their fate. The Suns will carry those feelings into the off season just as much as the joy of winning and "shocking the world," as Williams put it in his post-game speech.
尽管太阳队的表现证明了这一点，但是他们仍然需要其他球队来决定他们的命运。就好像威廉姆斯在比赛后说的那样，他们势必将会把这种感觉和胜利以及“震惊全世界”一起带入休赛期。
"You get in these situations, I think a lot of people will tell you, when you're that close to making the playoffs or a game out, you look back on all the times during the season it was just that little detail-oriented mess up that you had," Suns All-Star Devin Booker said.
“在这种情况下，我想很多人都会告诉你，当你离季后赛只差一个胜场或很接近的时候，回顾赛季中所有的比赛，你会发现是在细节上的错误，导致了失败。”太阳队球星德文-布克说。
"The game is a thin line between winning and losing. You have to stay locked in at all times and we learned that down here. Every possession matters. Everything counts. That's how Coach says it. There's steps to get to success. You can't shortcut any of it and this trip, this bubble was a product of that for us."
“比赛的胜负之分仅在一线间。我们在这里学会了必须时刻保持关注。每一个球权都很关键。每一个细节都很重要。这是教练告诉我们的，这也是通往成功的道路。在这条路上，没有任何捷径。这就是复赛带给我们的成长。”
The COVID-19 pandemic led to the NBA shutting down the season for months after Rudy Gobert tested positive for the virus in March. The Suns were 26-39 when NBA Commissioner Adam Silver pressed pause on the season.
自三月戈贝尔新冠病毒检测阳性以来，疫情的爆发让NBA停摆了三个月之久。在NBA总裁亚当-肖华宣布停摆时，太阳队26胜39负。
Phoenix was 2-8 in games decided by three points or less at the time.
太阳队在分差三分以内的比赛仅取得2胜8负。

Had the Suns went, say, 6-4 in those games, they would have had a better chance to make the playoffs.
如果我们假设太阳队在这些比赛里取得6胜4负，那么他们进季后赛的概率就要大很多。
Instead, Memphis had a six-game cushion on Phoenix going into the NBA restart.
相反，灰熊队在复赛前与太阳队足足有六个胜场之多！
Then again, team owners could've voted for 20 teams to resume the season instead of 22. Phoenix and Washington were the last two invited based on record.
同时，NBA的老板们本可以只选出20支球队进入复赛，而非22支。太阳和奇才是最后两支收到邀请的球队。
The Suns played with a heightened sense of urgency knowing they had to essentially win out to give themselves a chance to make the playoffs for the first time since 2010.
太阳队在比赛中表现出了一种强烈的紧迫感，因为他们知道只有赢下比赛，才能自2010年以来第一次闯进季后赛。
"The bubble definitely grew us up," Suns center Deandre Ayton said. "It felt like every game was a playoff game and we know we needed every game. The approach we had towards every game was insane. I've never seen it before. I've never been in it."
“复赛的经历无疑让我们成长了”，太阳队中锋德安德烈-艾顿说到：“这就好像每场比赛都是季后赛一样，我们也知道我们拼下每场比赛。这种对每场比赛的态度真的太棒了，我从没看到过也从没经历过。”
They won out, got some help, but needed just one more domino to fall for their season to continue.
他们赢得了比赛，获得了一些帮助，但是他们还需要一点点运气就能让他们的赛季继续了。
It nearly did on LeVert's final shot.
随着勒韦尔的最后一投，这差点就成真了。
"A lot of times, people think that when a game is that close, it comes down to the last minute of the game, but there's stuff, there's things and there's details throughout the entire game that can change the momentum in your favor or away from your favor," said Nets guard Tyler Johnson, who played for Phoenix before being waived Feb. 9.
“很多时候，人们会觉得当比赛焦灼，直到最后一分钟都难分胜负，但是事实是纵观整场比赛有很多细节能让胜利天平倾向一边”。篮网队后卫泰勒-约翰逊说到，他在二月九号被裁之前为太阳队效力.
"We came up just a little bit short, but it had nothing to do with the last shot. It had everything to do with maybe a couple of plays here and there in the beginning."
“我们就差一点点，但是这和最后一投一点都没关系。这和比赛一开始时的几波进攻有关系。”
That's controlling your destiny.
这就是掌握自己的命运。
That's what Phoenix wants to do moving forward.
这也是太阳队接下来想要做的。
The benefits of the bubble experience can't be understated, but Phoenix learned a valuable lesson that may serve them better than gaining confidence from winning and building chemistry by being around each other so much in the bubble.
我们不能轻描淡写的指出太阳队参加复赛的成长，但他们从中吸取了宝贵的一课，这或许比通过在复赛中通过获胜和建立化学反应来获得信心更好。
