外電來自Oregonlive , 部份刪減 It would be easy to exhale today knowing that a noted Los Angeles doctor on Friday declared there is no need to operate on the aching left knee of Trail Blazers star Brandon Roy. LA的醫生看完之前的檢測結果，覺得Roy不需要手術 There's no meniscus left to operate on in Roy's left knee. "Nah. None. Not in my right, either," Roy said Friday. The reason Roy's knee has been swelling up regularly, to the point where it has already been drained twice by Blazers' doctor Don Roberts this season, is because there is no cartilage to absorb the pounding associated with running and jumping. Roy的左膝沒有膝蓋軟骨，所以當承受跑跳時的重力無法舒緩，就容易腫脹 "The problem is bone-on-bone there," Roy said. "Dr. Roberts calls it 'arthritic knee.' It's just something I'm going to have to deal with for the rest of my career." 阿拓的隊醫Roberts稱它作膝蓋關節炎，會一直伴隨著Roy以後的生涯 The Blazers and Roy have known his knee was grinding bone-on-bone for some time. And when it got to the point Tuesday that it caused so much swelling that Roy was rendered practically immobile against Detroit, Roy admitted he thought the worst: Microfracture surgery. "There was a point I thought about it, but that's a difficult thing," Roy said. "Like, when do you do it? Because it's like a six-month thing. But the good thing about Dr. Roberts is, he has dealt with both of my knees, he knows them, and he came right in and said, 'I don't think that's what we are going to do.' He said he doesn't think microfracture would help it." Roy承認他有想過最壞的情況--微創手術--，但Roberts說並不覺得這會有幫助。 What does appear to be the answer -- short term, at least -- is anti-inflammatory medication. Roy said he started this week taking one pill every morning to reduce the swelling. It is working, allowing his knee greater freedom. "My knee felt looser, not as stiff, so I was able to be more aggressive," Roy said. 目前短時間內能做的就是吃消炎藥，Roy說他這周開始每天早上服用，是有減輕腫脹效果 Roy has been on anti-inflammatory medicine before, and the risk is it can put stress on one's liver. So he said the Blazers have assured him they will continue to run tests on his liver to make sure he remains healthy. 消炎藥的負作用是會對肝臟造成負擔，所以球隊保證會持續幫Roy的肝臟檢查，確保他的健康 The plan is to have him on the medication for a month, during which Roy will play fewer minutes (he was held to the unofficial goal of 35 minutes on Friday) and practice less often. 目前的計畫是讓他持續以藥物治療一個月，其間讓他打少一點時間 (但他今天也上了35)，練習的頻率也減少。 Shortly before Christmas, the team will reassess the situation. 在聖誕節前，球隊會再一次評估狀況 "In talking to (Dr. ElAttrache), I asked if it could get any worse," Roy said. "He said there's a chance, but he doesn't think so. But there's no curing it. He said there are players who have worked with it. You just have to take the medication and monitor it." LA的醫生說有可能會變糟，但他並不這麼覺得，不過目前也沒有辦法治癒。目前也有其他的球員帶著這樣的傷，所以Roy要做的就是服藥並觀察。 In the meantime, it's likely we have seen the end of the old Brandon Roy. The one who switched hands in mid-air while making a driving layin in traffic against Toronto two seasons ago. The one who attacked the lane and finished a game-winner against the Knicks. The one who lept high and blocked a Carmelo Anthony jumper with his finger tip to preserve a victory. There will be a lot more jumpers. A lot more post-ups. There will still be drives -- he beat his man a couple times in the fourth quarter on Friday -- but they will be more calculated and measured. 在這期間，我們可能看不到以前的Roy了，那個兩季前對暴龍在半空中換手上籃，那個對尼克的致勝球，那個蓋下Melo保住勝利的關鍵火鍋。會有更多的跳投以及低位，當然還是有切入--就像今天對雷霆這場--但是會更慎重且衡量過的。 For the past week, that has been a hard thing for Roy to swallow. But after talking with family and friends, he came to realize it was a reality. On Friday, with his mind no longer thinking about microfracture, and the swelling in his knee subsided enough to give him some freedom on the court, he started to embrace his new career. "I could see myself coming in the fold now," Roy said. 在過去的一周，這事讓Roy很難接受。但和家人及朋友溝通後，他理解的這就是現實。現在他不用擔心需要做微創手術，且膝蓋的腫脹也獲得控制，讓他能夠繼續待在球場上，他也開始去接受他的新的生涯。 "I could see myself coming in the fold now," Roy said. ( 這句不會翻....in the fold 不就是被蒙在鼓裡的意思 ?) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 125.227.196.183
