堪萨斯城酋长队大逆转夺冠

For the second time in four years, the Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions.

堪萨斯城酋长队四年内第二次夺得超级碗冠军。

Last night, in Glendale, Ariz., in a stadium that looks like a grounded spaceship, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes put on his latest otherworldly performance.

昨晚，在亚利桑那州格兰岱尔市的一个形似搁浅的宇宙飞船的体育场里，堪萨斯城四分卫帕特里克·马霍姆斯将他最近一次的超凡表现带给了比赛。

Fighting off the pain of a sprained ankle, he led the Chiefs to a second half comeback and a nail-biting 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

他抵御着脚踝扭伤的痛苦，带领酋长队在下半场逆转，并以38-35的比分险胜费城老鹰队。

NPR体育记者汤姆·戈德曼将带来报道。

Tom, since I know all the sports cliches, I'm going to start with one. It was a tale of two halves.

汤姆，我知道所有老套的体育故事，那我就开始讲一个吧。这是一个上下场的故事。

That's a good one. Yeah, first half, the Eagles were the dominant team, they've been all season.

这是个不错的故事。上半场，老鹰队是主导球队，而且他们在整个赛季都一直是主导。

Led by their great young quarterback, Jalen Hurts, and a strong defense, they went out to a 10-point lead at halftime.

在年轻有为的四分卫贾伦·赫特斯与一位强大防守的带领下，他们在上半场结束时领先10分。

Now, particularly worrying for Kansas City, late in the half, quarterback Patrick Mahomes aggravated that high ankle sprain he suffered earlier in the playoffs.

现在，特别让堪萨斯城酋长队担心的是，在上半场后半段，四分卫帕特里克·马霍姆斯早些时候在季后赛受得脚踝重伤加重了。

So as Rihanna took the halftime stage high above the field - and kudos to her for performing so well.

当蕾哈娜中场休息登上高于场地的舞台时，她的出色表现赢得了称赞。

Obviously, she trusted the wires holding up her platform.

显然，她很信任支撑起舞台的金属丝。

But while she was singing, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told the NFL Network he was worrying about that ankle.

但当蕾哈娜歌唱时，酋长队主教练安迪·里德告诉NFL网络，他很担心马霍姆斯的脚踝。

He goes in at halftime. And I'm going, are you OK? And he goes - and, you know, can you do this? I can do everything. Just leave me alone and let me go play.

他在中场休息时进去了。我问，你还好吗? 你能做到吗? 他回答，我什么都能做。别烦我，让我去打比赛。

And he sure did. He led the Chiefs to three second half touchdowns and the drive that resulted in the winning field goal by Kansas City with 8 seconds left.

他确实做到了。他带领堪萨斯城酋长队在下半场三次达阵、采用Drive双人战略，堪萨斯城酋长队依靠该战略在比赛还剩8秒时投进了制胜球。

That drive, of course, included Mahomes' gutty 26-yard run up the middle of the field on that painful ankle.

当然，那次Drive双人战略中，马霍姆斯拖着疼痛的脚踝，在场地中央勇敢地跑了26码远。

Yeah. And Mahomes had help from his friends, too.

是的。马霍姆斯也得到了朋友们的帮助。

He sure did. He couldn't have done it without the great work by his running backs, his wide receivers, his stellar tight end, Travis Kelce, and especially his offensive line.

他确实得到了他们的帮助。如果没有跑卫，外接手的伟大工作，没有近卫特拉维斯·凯尔斯的出色表现，尤其是他在进攻线的帮助，马霍姆斯也不可能做到这一点。

We love to give those offensive linemen publicity.

我们喜欢给那些进攻线球员做宣传。

Those five big guys paid to protect Mahomes, did just that.

那五个领着薪水保护马霍姆斯的大块头，就是这么做的。

One of the stories going into the game was Philly's fierce pass rush.

开赛的故事之一是费城队猛烈的传球、冲球。

And Mahomes noted afterwards how the Chiefs' offensive linemen had heard that story over and over.

马霍姆斯后来指出，酋长队的进攻线员已经一遍又一遍地听到了这个故事。

I think those guys got caught up with getting asked every single week what they were going to do against this defensive line.

我认为这些球员每周都被问到他们要怎么对付这条防线。

And they took it as a challenge.

他们认为这是一种挑战。

And they responded. And we told them earlier in the week - I said, if y'all play great, we'll win this football game. And they did.

他们做出了回应。本周早些时候我们告诉他们，我说，如果你们表现出色，我们会赢得这场美式足球比赛。他们做到了。

And, as great as they were, Mahomes got the hardware.

与其他球员一样出色，马霍姆斯得到了这个五金奖杯。

He won the Super Bowl MVP award to go with his second league MVP award that he won last week.

他赢得了超级碗MVP奖，他上周获得的联盟MVP奖是他的第二个奖杯。

And, you know, this is solidifying the belief that Mahomes, only 27 years old, already is among the greats.

这巩固了人们的信念，年仅27岁的马霍姆斯已经跻身于伟大球员之列。

Yeah. And Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had a great game. Unfortunately, it was on a loss.

是的。老鹰队四分卫贾伦·赫特斯比赛表现惊艳。不幸的是，还是输了比赛。
