Knicks nab Atlantic Division title 外電連結：http://0rz.tw/k6XT3 Nineteen years is a long time. So you'd think maybe the New York Knicks would want to celebrate a little after clinching their first division title since 1994 on Tuesday. But other than a few blue T-shirts, there wasn't much to commemorate the moment in the team's locker room. Instead, the Knicks made it clear that they're focused on loftier goals. "The big picture is winning a title," Mike Woodson said. "That's all I'm in it for." 十九年是一段漫長的時間。所以，你會覺得也許尼克在贏巫師之後想要慶祝一下，因為這是他們自1994年以來的第一個分組冠軍。但尼克的更衣室對這個值得紀念的時間刻沒有太大的反應，相反的，尼克明確表示，他們專注於更崇高的目標。武僧說：那個畫面是贏得一個總冠軍，這才是我們想要的。 The Knicks took a step toward that end on Tuesday with a 120-99 win over the Washington Wizards. 尼克用120-99戰勝巫師讓他們坐上大西洋組的龍頭寶座 The victory over Washington extended their winning streak to 13, the third-longest in franchise history. It also guaranteed the Knicks a home-court advantage in at least the first round of the playoffs, by virtue of the division crown. 戰勝巫師讓他們保持13連勝(在球隊歷史上的第三長的連勝紀錄)。它還保證了尼克至少在季後賽第一輪的主場優勢。 More importantly, the Knicks maintained a 2 1/2 game lead over the Indiana Pacers for the second seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. 更重要的是，尼克在東區第二種子以2 1/2比賽領先溜馬。 "It’s just one little step. One building block," Jason Kidd said of the Atlantic crown. "One of our goals when we started the training camp in October was to win the division. We did that this evening. But that doesn’t mean anything. We still have a long ways to go." Kidd說：這只是一小步，一個基本要做到的事，我們10月開始訓練營時，贏得大西洋組冠軍只是我們的目標之一，我們今天晚上做到了，但是，這並不意味著什麼，我們仍然有很長的路要走。” A few weeks ago, the division title -- and any shot at longterm success in the playoffs -- seemed very much in doubt for these Knicks. New York was dealing with injuries to Tyson Chandler and Carmelo Anthony and mired in a four-game losing streak on the west coast. 幾個星期前，分組冠軍、在季後賽中取得成功，對尼克而言似乎都有很大的疑問。那時尼克在客場四連敗，拳王和Melo都在傷病中。 "At that point, you start doubting a lot of things," Anthony said. Melo說：在那時，你開始懷疑了很多東西。 But the All-Star forward got fluid drained from his knee and J.R. Smith started to drain shots. The Knicks haven't looked back since. 但這個全明星前鋒膝蓋的積水抽出後，JR開始火熱的投籃手感，尼克從那時開始沒有回頭的往前衝刺。 The Knicks leaned on Anthony and Smith again on Tuesday to put away the Wizards. Anthony had a game-high 36 points and Smith finished with 17 points on 7-for-14 shooting. Melo和JR再次合作收拾了巫師。Melo得到全場最高的36分，JR17分(14投7中)。 "Guys are committed, and we're executing," Woodson said. 武僧說：那些伙計們承諾的事，我們正在執行。 Anthony's been executing at historic levels of late. In his last five games, he's scored 40.6 points per game on 61.1 percent shooting. He's hit 55.6 percent of his threes and pulled down 8.1 rebounds per game. Melo一直處於他職業生涯的較高水平，在最近五場比賽，他平均每場比賽拿下40.6分(投籃命中率61.1％、三分球55.6％命中率)，並且每場平均抓下8.1個籃板。 (以後別再說Melo除了得分什麼都沒做，他還有搶籃板啦，不過沒看到這個統計數字還真不知道他的命中率那麼高，打鐵王有換人做了嗎？XD) He tied Bernard King's franchise record with five straight games of at least 35 points. 他追平了Bernard King's連續5場至少35分的隊史紀錄。 "He's been beautiful to watch," Woodson said. 武僧說：他的表現是如此賞心悅目。 But not everything was beautiful for the Knicks on Tuesday. 但對戰巫師對尼克來說也不是一切都美好。 The team may have suffered a significant loss when Kenyon Martin went down with a left ankle sprain early in the fourth quarter. Martin's X-rays came back negative but his status for Thursday's game against Chicago -- and beyond -- is unknown. 球隊可能遭受重大損失，因為K罵在第四節左腳踝扭傷，K罵的X光檢查是陰性，但週四有沒有辦法在對戰公牛的比賽上場仍是未知數。 Martin's injury is just the latest in a long line of ailments to the Knicks' big men. Tyson Chandler has missed 11 of the last 15 games due to a neck ailment. Rasheed Wallace (broken foot), Kurt Thomas (stress fracture/right foot) and Amar'e Stoudemire (knee) are all expected to miss at least the rest of the regular season. K罵的受傷僅僅是一長串尼克禁區大個子傷病最新的一個。拳王因頸部傷病在最近的15場比賽缺賽了11場。西蛙（腳骨折），KT（右腳應力性骨折反應）和阿罵（膝蓋）都預計至少缺席剩下的季賽。 But that hasn't slowed the Knicks, who validated themselves as title contenders in the eyes of some with Sunday's win in Oklahoma City. 但是，這並沒有減緩尼克，打敗雷霆在一些人眼中證明了尼克是總冠軍的有力爭奪者。 "Right now we're playing extremely well. Great basketball," Anthony said. "As a team everybody is doing their job, everybody has seemed to accept their role." Melo說：現在我們打的非常好，偉大的籃球，作為團隊，每個人都在做自己的工作，每個人都似乎接受了自己的角色。” Now that the Atlantic is settled, the next item on New York's agenda is a second-place finish in the Eastern Conference. They need just three more wins or three Pacers losses -- or a combination of wins or Indiana losses adding up to three -- to clinch second place. That would assure the Knicks home court through the first two rounds of the playoffs. 現在，大西洋組封王的目標已經達成，尼克的下一個目標是保持在東區第二種子的位置。他們需要再勝三場以上或是溜馬再輸三場以上就會是東區第二種子。這將保證尼克在前兩輪的季後賽都有主場優勢。 "It’s a great thing to achieve one of your main goals," Smith said. "Now we just got to get that gold ball." JR說：達到你的主要目標之一是一件很棒的事，我們現在需要去拿到冠軍盃（冠軍盃上那個金球) ........................................................... 我想翻的其實是這篇，這篇外電沒有早點出來，讓我多翻一篇 >_<# 不過Knicks眾將士說大西洋組封王沒有什麼好慶祝，那就這樣…大家跟著低調再低調，等拿到總冠軍再來大肆慶祝 XD -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 163.29.241.235
