來源： Ny Times http://tinyurl.com/84ll529 Knicks Escape to Play Another Day By HOWARD BECK The far right side of the dry-erase board in the Knicks’ home locker room is reserved for scheduling, a hand-scrawled, quick- reference guide to workouts, rehabilitation sessions and travel plans. Their Tuesday itinerary — spelled out in thick, black ink and all capital letters — read like redemption: 尼克休息室的白板最右側，通常保留用來寫一些關於行程，或是手寫的簡單鍛練指南，傷勢復原狀況以及旅行計劃等等。星期二，他們用粗黑的筆跡，並且是全部大寫，寫下以下的句子，讀起來像是救贖。 “11:00 a.m. — Film.” 11：00 am 看影片 “3:00 p.m. — To South Beach.” 3：00 pm 前往南方的海灘（指 Miami） A strange and twisting season that by all rights should have ended Sunday afternoon will instead last another few days, after a soul- cleansing 89-87 victory over the Miami Heat that kept the Knicks’ playoff hopes alive, if by the narrowest of margins. 所有人都認為星期天中午將是尼克本季的句點了，在一個有如淨化靈魂般的的勝利之後，好像又有了一個詭異又扭轉的球季。尼克死裡逃生，季後賽還沒出局。 The Knicks still trail in the first-round series, three games to one. But that one is bursting with meaning and satisfaction: the franchise’s first playoff win since 2001. The end of a humiliating drought that lasted an N.B.A.-record 13 games and consumed countless coaches and would-be saviors. The first playoff triumph for Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire as teammates. 尼克仍然 1－3 在第一輪系列戰中落後，但是這一勝讓球迷沸騰又滿意，同時帶有重大意義：自從 2001 年來的第一勝，同時也終結了這令人羞辱的 NBA 紀錄消耗了無數教練的季後賽 13 連敗，也是瓜罵加入後的第一勝。 “The first of many,” Stoudemire promised. 阿罵這樣承諾著「這只是許多勝利的開始」 His first chance to make good on that promise will come Wednesday, in Game 5 at American Airlines Arena in Miami. History suggests the Knicks cannot make it out of this series, but this was not a day to doubt Stoudemire’s resolve or Anthony’s determination. 星期三在熱火主場的 Game5 就是他第一個實現諾言的機會，歷史告訴我們尼克無法撐過這個系列戰，但是今天不是一個應該懷疑瓜罵的日子。 Anthony was brilliant in the late stages Sunday, driving the Knicks to victory with 41 points, including a 12-point fourth quarter and a huge 3-pointer in the final minute. Stoudemire — who nearly ended his season with a self-inflicted laceration of his left hand after Game 2 — earned a fantastic bit of redemption, with 20 points and 10 rebounds, and a critical free throw with 14.8 seconds to go. 瓜瓜星期天的最後時刻簡直是棒呆了，拿下 41 分，帶領尼克拿下這場勝利，包含了第四節的 12 分，以及最後時刻的關鍵三分球。阿罵，拖著幾乎在 G2 自殘受傷，差點終結他本季比賽的左手，拿下 20－10 , 包含最後 14.8 秒的關鍵罰球，做了美好的贖罪了。 That foul shot gave the Knicks a 2-point edge and put the pressure on Miami in the final seconds. The Heat’s last possession ended with Dwyane Wade putting up an off-balance, turnaround 3-point shot in front of the Knicks’ bench as time expired. 這顆罰球讓尼克領先達二分，同把壓力丟給熱火隊。熱火最後的一次進攻在 Wade 一個失去平衡的轉身三分球失去結束了。 The ball clanked off the rim, and thousands of blue and orange streamers cascaded from the rafters, a moment many years overdue. 那球打到了籃圈，這時成千上萬的藍橘服裝的尼克迷尖叫著從椅子上跳出來這一刻他們等得太多年了。 Stoudemire and Anthony made 23 of the Knicks’ 32 field goals, their most meaningful tag-team effort since they became teammates 15 months ago. Anthony, who had been bottled up and flustered by LeBron James and Shane Battier all series, unleashed the frustration with a series of timely drives, playing like the star the Knicks were promised. 瓜罵聯手拿下尼克 32 個顆命中球的 23 顆，自從他們成為隊友以來，最有意義的一場聯手。甜瓜，好像在整個系列戰中被 LBJ 跟八爺封住了，今天完全從挫折中釋放出來，終於打出符合眾人期待的那顆超級瓜。 “He wasn’t ready to go home,” Coach Mike Woodson said, smiling broadly. 武僧笑著說「他還不打算回家」 At a minimum, the Knicks avoided a sweep. Now comes the toughest part: winning in Miami, where they are 0-4 this season. No N.B.A. team has won a playoff series after trailing by 3-0, and a vast majority (90 out of 100) have lost in four or five games. 最低限度來說，尼克避免被橫掃。現在要面臨最強悍的挑戰，在邁阿密贏球本季他們在那裡是 0－4。歷史上沒有球隊能從 0-3 翻盤的，而且絕大部份（90／100）在第四戰或第五戰就打包了。註：小牛剛成為第一百支 XD The Knicks’ odds will be even longer, after they lost Baron Davis to a season-ending knee injury Sunday. Davis dislocated his right kneecap during a third-quarter rally, becoming the second Knicks guard to go down in the series. Iman Shumpert tore his left anterior cruciate ligament in Game 1. 在失去了大鬍子之後，尼克的賠率恐怕還要更大一些。BD 在第三節大反攻時右膝脫臼，成為第二個本季列賽中陣亡的尼克後衛，Shump 在第一戰時撕毀了他的左膝前交叉韌帶。保安！有人這樣讓人掛了又掛，掛了又掛的嗎 ? Mike Bibby will probably start at point guard in Game 5, with J. R. Smith as the de facto backup and Toney Douglas as an emergency reserve. It is conceivable that Jeremy Lin, who has been recovering from knee surgery, could be available. The Knicks were not prepared to make that leap yet. Bibby 將會成為第五戰的先發控球後衛，丁尺會變成事實上的第一後補人選， TD 則是緊急時才會使用。可以想像的是，剛從手術復原的啾咪，可能也可以上。尼克隊還沒有準備好要不要冒險。 After losing the first three games of this series by double digits, and a combined 60 points, the Knicks played with a focused desperation. For the first time, they played a meaningful and riveting fourth quarter. 在三場每場都輸到雙位數，共輸了 60 分之後，尼克看起來根本沒望了。這是他們第一次打出一個有意義而且吸引人的第四節。 Anthony scored on back-to-back layups for a 78-75 lead. James, who had a team-high 27 points, hit two free throws to give Miami a 79- 78 lead. Anthony tied the game at 79-79 (on a free throw) and again at 81-81 (on a 15-footer). Bibby hit a 3-pointer for an 84- 81 lead. Miami tied the game on a 3-pointer from James. 甜瓜連續二個上籃， 78-75 領先，而熱火全隊得分最高的 LBJ ,投進了二個罰球，79-78 反超，甜瓜投中了 79－79 平手的罰球跟再次81－81 平手的跳投 BB 投中一顆三分 84-81 領先，邁阿密靠著 LBJ 三分球再度追上平手。 Then, with the shot clock running down and fans screaming nervously, Anthony hit a 3-pointer over Battier — his designated tormentor in the series — giving the Knicks an 87-84 lead with 54.5 seconds left. 然後，在進攻時間快到，全場球迷緊張的尖叫聲中，Melo 在系列戰中負責要搞定他的八爺面前投進了一顆三分球，讓尼克在 54.5 秒時間到前取得 87-84 領先。 Anthony had the chance to put the game away on the next possession, when Battier fouled him on a 3-point attempt. But he missed the first two free throws, then sank the third for a 4- point lead. 當八爺在下一個回合 Melo 投三分犯規時，Melo 有機會把球賽拉開，但是他 miss 了前二顆罰球，讓比賽僅僅只有四分領先。 James cut the margin to 1 point with a 3-point play. LBJ 馬上用三分打把比數追到一分差。 Stoudemire was widely criticized by fans and commentators last week after his impulsive smashing of a fire-extinguisher case following Game 2 in Miami. He needed surgery to repair a torn muscle and had been considered doubtful to play again in the series. 阿罵上週 G2 打出滅火神拳之後一直被球迷跟球評批評，他必須要動手術修復肌肉而且一直被懷疑這個系列賽可能無法再上場了。 Before tip-off, Stoudemire was introduced last, his customary slot, and was welcomed back with a forgiving roar. Hope, not anger, was the predominant feeling Sunday. 在開球的入場，阿罵是最後一個，他習慣的位置，然後他就被原諒的吼叫包圍，用來歡迎他歸隊。是希望，不是憤怒，這是星期天最主要的感覺。 “I didn’t really feel like I had something to prove,” he said, adding, “It makes me feel better that we won.” 他說：「我不需要證明什麼東西」補充一句「贏球讓我覺得好多了」 REBOUNDS Iman Shumpert attended his first game since having knee surgery and vowed to come back stronger next season. “I don’t have any fear,” he said Sunday. “I know when I get back, I hope that this leg is better than ever. It’s going to be stronger than ever.” Shumpert, the Knicks’ best perimeter defender, is expected to need six to eight months to recover. He can only wonder how different the series might have looked had he been on the court. “We could do that, go back and forth with that all the time — if Stat’s healthy, if Jeremy’s healthy,” he said, referring to Amar’e Stoudemire and Jeremy Lin. “But it’s like who we got out there is who we got out there. I still think we’re good enough to beat them.” Shump 手術後參加第一場比賽同時發誓下季回來會更強。「我並不害怕」「我知道我會回來，我希望腿比以前更好，他會比以前更強壯」。 Shump 是尼克最佳防守員，被預估大約需要 6－8 個月復原。他只能希望系列賽可以像他在場上時一樣。「我們可以做的到，反敗為勝，如果阿罵健康，如果啾咪健康」「但是現在好像我們有哪些人在場上，就是那些人在場上了，我仍然認為我們能夠幹掉他們」 -- owlcat◢◤ ▋ ▋█◣ ▋ ▃▅▇ ◤█◥ ▏◣ ▌ ▌ ▇▆▅▄ ◢ ▍▍ ◢◤◤ ▊▌ ▌▋▊▌ ▊ █▃▄▅ ▎▅▅▊ ▎ ▊ ▋ ▋▎▄▍ █ ▌▍ ◢◤◤ ▋▍ ▍▌ ▊ ▊ ▃▃▃ ▏ ▉ ▍▏ ▋▊ ▊▋ ▌▍ ▍▍ ▊▊ ◢◤◤▁▂▃ ▍▎ ▎▎ ▊▋ ▄▊ ████ ▌▍ █▎▉▊ ▍▏ ▌██▋ ◥＿▁▃▄▅ ▏▏ ▏▏ █▊ ▄▅▇█ █▃▃█ ▋▌ █▌██ ▎█ ▅ ▎ ◣ ▂▃▄▅ ◣ ◣ ◥█ ◥██◤ ◢ ◤ ◣ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.36.223.231
