[外電] Ice Cold Shooting Dooms Knicks vs. Heat
Danilo Gallinari couldn’t buy a bucket during the preseason after Knicks
head coach Mike D’Antoni boldly called him the best shooter he’s ever seen.
Gallinari, whose expectations were higher than anyone else in the
organization, shot just 31 percent and averaged 7.3 points through seven
exhibition contests.
Maybe he was just saving his shot for the regular season.
Gallinari曾受到冷笑話的盛讚: 我所見過最好的射手。但他七場熱身賽只交出場均7.3分
、31%的命中率。不過，他可能只是要把實力留到球季真正開始。
Gallinari, playing his first regular-season game since March 15, scored a
career-high 22 points in the Knicks’ 115-93 loss to the Heat in their
regular-season opener on Wednesday night. He finished the night shooting
7-for-13 from 3-point range after struggling in the first half, looking like
a veteran along the way.
本場第一節後，義大利人克服手感問題，得到生涯新高的22分，三分球13中7。不過尼克
輸給熱火。
Gallinari, who missed his first three shots and five of his seven attempts in
the first half, continued to pull the trigger after halftime and eventually
watched his shot fall. He said the difference between his play in the second
half was his “mindset of shooting,” which clearly changed because the
Knicks needed his 3-pointers to get back into the game.
義大利人表示，他後來手感變好是因為心態調整了。
After a first half that saw eight lead changes and seven ties, the Knicks
fell behind nine at halftime and by as many as 31 in the second half. The
threat of Gallinari knocking down 3-pointers was the only reason the Heat
stuck with their starters through most of the fourth quarter in a game that
looked to be out of reach for the Knicks.
“He needs to play because he can erupt for four or five straight threes,” D
’Antoni said. “We need bench scoring.”
第四節比賽，熱火仍用先發打了好一段時間，只因義大利人的火力還有威脅。
冷笑話說，Gallinari可以突然爆發連中好幾個三分，所以中用他。
When training camp opened earlier this month, Gallinari was running mostly
with the starters and even started in the second preseason game. But his
conditioning wasn’t quite where it needed to be as he continued his recovery
from last season’s back surgery, and he was placed in a reserve role.
“I’m not disappointed,” he said before the game. “My job is to be ready
from the bench.”
今晚Galli還是被擺進板凳，但他不擔心。"我的任務就是從板凳出發，給球隊必要的支援
。"他說。他因為背傷，到熱身賽還在調整狀況。
Other than Gallinari, the Knicks struggled from beyond the arc, shooting 25.6
percent as a team, and looked their best offensively when going inside early
on. David Lee (22 points) and Al Harrington (15) seemed unstoppable under the
basket in the first half.
Once their offense stalled, however, their defense followed suit as the
Knicks couldn’t stop the Heat. Eventually, the game got away from them.
除了義大利人，尼克諸將命中率很慘，只有25.6%。上半場多靠大衛李(今晚22分)與小哈
(15分)打內線，所以還維持住戰局。而防守部分，尼克也守不太住對方。最後這場就輸得
毫無懸念。
“We had a breakdown defensively.” Harrington said. “We let our offense
affect our defense. When we stopped making shots, we hung our heads and didn’
t have the same energy defensively. We were getting scored on and not scoring
on the other end.”
Added Chris Duhon, “When a team shoots almost 60 percent, I don’t care how
well we shoot the ball, we are not going to win many games.”
小哈說， 今天大家的精力多花在進攻，防守沒甚麼出力。最後就只能一直被對手得分，
而自己得不了分。杜洪也補充，當對手命中率快到60%，他已經沒辦法去管自己球隊的命
中率了，因為這樣不管自己有多準還是很難成為常勝軍。
While it's always disappointing to lose on opening night, they realize it is
only one single game in the course a marathon season.
“I thought we were going to win 82,” D’Antoni joked, “but now it’s only
81. We’ll get over it.”
儘管輸掉開幕戰總是令人失望的，尼克諸將還是體認到這只是第一場。
冷笑話開了一個冷笑話:"我以為我們要82場全拿。但現在只剩81場可以拿了。
我們可以的。"
The Knicks now look to continue to find their range and play better
defensively when they visit the Charlotte Bobcats on Friday before returning
to The Garden for their Home Opener on Saturday night.
尼克隊會繼續調整他們的防守，準備應付美國時間周五作客山貓，以及美國時間周六晚間
的主場開幕戰。
Game Notes: Darko Milicic, who made two hook shots in the first quarter,
injured his knee late in the game. "It's fine," he said. "I'll live."... Tim
Hardaway's No. 10 jersey was retired by the Heat during a pregame ceremony.
The tip off was scheduled for 7:30, but the game didn't officially begin
until about 8:15. ... Dwyane Wade led the Heat with 26 points, while Jermaine
O'Neal added 22. ... Wilson Chandler scored 21 for the Knicks. .. The Knicks
had 17 fastbreak point to the Heat's 13.
賽後小記:
小米粒第一節勾射後膝蓋受傷，但他說沒事。
今天熱火10號球衣退休。本來比賽預定晚間7:30開打，卻拖到8:15才開始。
