[外電] K罵讓尼克的傷病變得較容易承受
Martin makes Knicks' injuries easier to bear
What took so long?
For about two thirds of the NBA season, Kenyon Martin, one of the best
finishers and versatile defenders in the game, said he was "sitting on my
couch" waiting for an opportunity to return to the league.
But nothing happened.
為什麼花了這麼長時間?大約三分之二的NBA賽季,K罵在比賽中最好的終結者和多功能的
防守者之一,說他是“坐在沙發上”等待機會返回到NBA,但是什麼都沒有發生。
"It was complicated," a source close to the Knicks said. "The league is very
opinionated and only 30 people's opinions matter. Other teams were
interested, but in the end it worked out."
一個尼克的知情人士說:這是複雜的,NBA聯盟是非常剛愎自用,只有30餘人的意見,無
論其他球隊有興趣,但最終還是沒有成功。
Thanks to a close connection to Mark Warkentien, the Knicks' director of pro
player personnel and former GM of the Denver Nuggets, for whom Martin
previously played, the 6-9 forward arrived in a New York on a 10-day
contract. Apparently, not only wasn't it the salary he wanted -- another
source said that he was in the market for a mini mid-level deal -- but
initially he was not guaranteed any playing time.
謝謝Mark Warkentien(一個球探和前丹佛金隊的GM),對他們來說,馬丁以前跟他們一起
比賽過,6-9的前鋒到達在紐約只是為期10天的合同,顯然,不僅不是他想要的薪水,另
一位消息人士說,他是在中等水平的交易市場,但最初他不能保證任何上場時間。
But that all changed on the Knicks' West Coast road trip, when Carmelo
Anthony, Tyson Chandler and Kurt Thomas all went down with injuries. And on
Wednesday night, in his fourth straight start, Martin proved once again why
he needs to be with the first five.
但是,這一切都改變了因為尼克的西海岸客場之旅,當時MELO、拳王和KT都遭受傷病的困
擾。在對魔術時,這是他在尼克的第四場先發,K罵再次證明了為什麼他是先發五人。
Finishing with 11 points, two offensive rebounds and a steal in the Knicks'
106-94 win over the Magic, Martin's defensive approach, paint presence and
intangibles helped set another menacing tone.
得到11分、2個進攻籃板和1次抄截,幫助尼克以106-94擊敗魔術隊,K罵的防守方法和態
度,對球隊的凶悍防守是無形的幫助。
"Kenyon just plays with a lot of energy and he's a go-getter," the
defensive-minded Iman Shumpert said afterward. "You know if anybody that goes
up there and tries to block it or dives on the floor to try and get it, you
know Kenyon's going to do that every single time ... his consistency and his
competitiveness, I think it's contagious, and it helps out a whole lot."
香波賽後說:K罵在場上總是有無窮的精力,他的防守意識就像一個拼命三郎。假如有任
何人到達他面前,他總會試圖阻止他,並試圖在場上搶到球,你知道k罵在每一個時刻都
想要要做到這一點,他的連貫性和他的競爭力,我認為這是具有傳染性的,它幫助了我們
大家。
In the first couple of possessions on Wednesday, Martin set a hard down
screen for Raymond Felton to get open for a jump shot, then stole the ball
from Tobias Haris. After Anthony missed a layup, Martin cleaned it up with an
offensive putback, and later slipped on his defender and Felton found him for
an alley-oop dunk.
在對魔術時,K罵和幫肥頓擋出一個跳投的空檔,然後從Tobias Haris抄截到球。MELO上
籃失手,K罵搶了進攻籃板補籃,後來又跟肥頓完成一個空中接力灌籃。
That wasn't the only time.
Jason Kidd, who played with Martin in New Jersey when the Nets went to the
Finals in 2002 and '03, connected with him on an alley-oop in the fourth
quarter.
這還不是唯一的一次,Kidd和k罵在第四節也做了一次空中接力(他們在2002年和03年在籃
網的總決賽一起做戰)。
Martin, who said that the only way he knows how to play is "go hard 110
percent," smiled about the play in the postgame locker room.
K罵在賽後於更衣室微笑說,他只知知道上場比賽就是要付出110%的努力”
"I told [Kidd], 'We got hooked up finally,'" he said. "That's encouraging."
“我告訴KIDD,我們的空中接力灌籃是令人鼓舞的。
Said Kidd, "He's getting more minutes under his belt, so he's feeling a
little bit more comfortable and he's definitely a guy that can play above the
rim, and defensively he can guard all five positions."
Kidd說:他獲得更多的上場時間,這讓他一點點的感覺更舒服,他絕對是一個可以攻擊禁
區籃筐的人,說到防守,他可以防守五個位置耶。”
In addition to getting nostalgic with Kidd, Martin started alongside Anthony
for the first time since their Denver days together. In fact, they looked
like identical twins on the court, basically wearing the same headband and
arm sleeve.
在除了與kidd的懷舊,K罵在MELO的旁邊就像他們在丹佛在一起的日子,事實上,他們在
球場上看起來像同卵雙胞胎,都穿著同樣的頭帶和手臂護具套。
"It's not because of fashion, trust me," Martin said, smiling. "I don't like
Melo like that. I love him as a teammate, but I ain't trying to dress like
him."
K罵面帶微笑說:這不是因為流行,相信我,我不會用這種方式喜歡MELO,我愛他,但我
是不是想穿的跟他一樣啦。”
But on a more serious note, Martin said that Anthony's skill set benefits his
own.
但更重要的是,K罵說,他可以幫忙讓MELO的進攻技術更有效。
"We played six and a half years together," he said. "Just knowing where he
likes the ball, knowing where I can cut and maybe get open when a team tries
to double team and things like that, which I think helps."
K罵說:我們在一起打球六年半的時間,我知道他喜歡在那裏拿球,知道有人想對他包夾
時,如何幫助削弱防守或擋出空檔給他,我想這將有助於他。
Now that they're together in New York, along with their experienced
sidekicks, Martin said, "The sky's the limit for this team."
現在,他們一起在紐約,他們是經驗豐富的隊友,K罵說:只有天空是這支球隊的極限。
(這句話真的很久沒有人講了,看到好感動@@)
For Martin, the most important thing is that he's healthy.
"I'm great," he said.
對於K罵,最重要的事情是保持健康。他說:我很好。

這篇外電的重點是“天佑尼克簽到K罵” XDDDDDD
Thanks to Kenyon Martin
其實覺得很奇怪以K罵的身手之前怎麼都沒有人想簽他?快艇上季也決定不續約他,難道
只因為他的個性和私生活…(當然之前也有傷病的問題)
PS:那兩次alley-oop的影片連結看有沒有人可以提供,尤其是跟KIDD合作的那一次
alley-oop真的令人動容(二個35歲以上的老將合作alley-oop XD)
這篇我只花了10分鐘亂翻,有錯請幫忙修正
