Knicks Are Off and Almost Out
By HOWARD BECK
簡單翻譯，今天文好長，就不逐字翻了 m_m
The bodies kept falling away, his support system stripped, until
Carmelo Anthony stood as the Knicks’ last bulwark between
postseason relevance and extinction. So he kept dribbling and
shooting and powering through traffic, until he had run out of
room and run out of time.
甜瓜是尼克試圖在季後賽被全滅的最後一道屏障了，但是卻漸漸力不從心。他
不斷地運球、投籃，直到最後一刻....
By late Thursday evening, the Knicks had just about run out of
chances, as well, after an 87-70 rout by the Miami Heat that muted
Madison Square Garden and pushed them to the brink of elimination.
The Heat lead the first-round series by three games to none, a
margin no N.B.A. team has overcome.
星期四晚間，尼克隊似乎失去了最後的機會了，在被熱火隊以 87-70 痛宰順便
讓 MSG 的群眾沉默，這把他們推向了淘汰邊緣。熱火隊在第一輪系列戰中以 3-0
領先，N.B.A 歷史上從來沒有球隊能在這種情形下反敗為勝。
“We believe,” Anthony said, with as much conviction as he could
muster. “Our heads are high, man. Our confidence is still high.”
「我們相信」 Melo 鼓起他所有的信念這樣說著，「我們依然保持著自信」
The Knicks’ actions told a different story. Only two other
players — J. R. Smith and Tyson Chandler — spoke to members of
the news media. Everyone else scattered as quickly as possible,
most of them leaving before the locker room was open.
尼克隊的反應完全不是他所說的，只有丁尺跟老錢留下來跟媒體講話，其他人
根本就是快閃族，在休息室還在開放的時候人都閃光了。
Game 4 is Sunday afternoon at the Garden.
第四戰將在星期天中午於MSG。
LeBron James, after a relatively sedate three quarters, buried the
Knicks with a personal 8-0 burst to open the fourth, as Miami
turned a close game into a rout. James scored 17 points in the
final period and finished with a game-high 32. Dwyane Wade added
20 points, and Mario Chalmers had 19 — including five 3-pointers,
one more than the entire Knicks roster.
LBJ，在前三前穩定演出，然後第四節一開始他就個人打出一波 8-0 ，帶領
熱火把原本接近的比賽轉為屠殺秀。他一個人第四節就拿下了 17 分，整場
比賽 32 分， Wade 拿下 20 分， 高樹 19 分，其中包含 5 顆三分球，比
尼克全隊加起來還多一顆。
The Knicks will try to extend the series Sunday, but the odds are
staggering. Of the previous 99 teams to trail 3-0, 59 have been
swept. Thirty others went down in five games.
尼克將會試著在星期天全力求勝把系列戰延續下去，但是這可能性是很驚人
的（低）。過去面臨 3－0 落後的球隊，有 59 隊被橫掃， 其他 30 隊在五
場內被淘汰。
The task will be tougher for the Knicks, who are missing two
starters: Amar’e Stoudemire, who tore up his hand when he punched
a glass fire-extinguisher cover after Game 2; and Iman Shumpert,
who tore up his knee in Game 1.
對尼克來說，這任務將更為艱難，他們失去了二個先發球員：阿罵，在第二戰扁
了滅火器後手受傷了、香波，第一戰的時候膝蓋炸了。
Yet it has become abundantly clear that the Knicks, even at full
strength, simply are not in Miami’s class. The Heat have won the
three games by a combined 60 points and they have forced Anthony,
the Knicks’ star forward, into one miserable shooting performance
after another.
事實很明顯了，就算是完整體的尼克，也不是跟熱火是同等級的。熱火三場總共
贏了 60 分，而且他們迫使尼克的台柱 Melo 效率一場比一場更淒慘。
He scored just 22 points Thursday, going 7 for 23 from the field,
leaving him 22 for 64 (.344) for the series. The tag team of
LeBron James and Shane Battier has made Anthony — one of the game
’s elite scorers — positively ordinary.
他在星期四只得了 22 分， 23 投 7 中，本系列命中 .344 ( 64 投 22 中)
小皇帝跟八爺讓可能是比賽最佳得分手的 Melo 看起來非常普通。
“I wouldn’t say they shut me down,” he said. “I’m missing
shots that I normally would make. I’m not worried about that. Do
they make it tougher? Do they make it harder? Yeah. That’s what
they do.”
Melo：「我不會說他們阻止了我」「我只是投丟了平常我會進的球而已，我並
不擔心這個，他們真的有讓我變的難以出手嗎？ 他們只是做他們的工作而已」
James and Battier again took turns harassing and corralling
Anthony, who said he heard the Heat’s bench yelling, “Keep
beating him up!” “Shane was our player of the game tonight,”
James said. “He did an unbelievable job on Melo.”
LBJ 跟 八爺一直對 Melo 騷擾跟包圍，他說他聽到熱火的板凳有人在喊
「幹掉他啦～」「八爺是我們今晚最佳球員，他對 Melo 的防守真是好到不可思議」
LBJ 這樣稱讚八爺。
The Knicks dropped their 13th straight playoff game, setting an
N.B.A. record. They are 0-7 since Anthony and Stoudemire arrived.
尼克季後賽 13 連敗，創下 N.B.A 記錄，自從 Melo 跟 阿罵來了之後是 0-7
Stoudemire was on the bench Thursday, with a sling on his arm, his
left hand heavily wrapped. There is little chance of him returning
for Game 4, which means the offense remains in the hands of
Anthony and Smith, who seem to take turns trying to win the game
on their own.
阿罵星期四出現在板凳上，他左手包了一大包。他第四戰只有一點點機會出賽
這代表尼克的進攻依然必須仰賴丁尺跟Melo。
The Knicks’ had just eight assists — two by Anthony and none by
Smith, who combined to take 41 of their 69 shots. The offense was
predictable, jump-shot dependent and easily contained. The Knicks
also committed 20 turnovers (5 by Anthony), leading to 23 points.
尼克全隊只有八次助攻，melo 2 次，丁尺 0 次， 他們二個加起來出手佔全
隊 69 次中的 41 次。這樣的進攻結果是可以預期的，太依賴跳投，同時容易
被限制，他們同時發生了 20 次失誤，造成 23 分的失分。
“Offensively, we just didn’t have it,” Coach Mike Woodson said.
“We were so stagnant, and I’ve got to take the heat for that.”
武僧表示：我們進攻很呆滯。
The lack of ball movement gave the Knicks no chance to get their
shooters open. Steve Novak — who replaced Stoudemire — got just
two shots and missed them both. Smith was 5 for 18 from the field,
0 for 5 from the arc.
球的流動不流暢導玫尼克沒有機會拉開外圍，Novak 只有出手二顆全 miss
丁尺 5 for 18, 弧頂 5 之 0。
“We’re just playing on one side of the court,” Smith said. “
You can’t do that against this team. This team is way too good.”
丁尺說 我們只是打防守籃球，你不可能光用這樣對抗熱火，熱火太強了。
For three quarters, the Knicks’ defense was good enough to
sustain them, as they held Miami to 38.8 percent shooting. They
trailed by 58-56 heading into the fourth. Then James got rolling,
Chalmers hit a pair of 3-pointers and it was over.
前三節，尼克防守很好，限制熱火只有 38.8 命中。他們落後二分進第四節
James 開始發飆，高樹命中二顆三分球，GAME OVER.
Chris Bosh, Miami’s third star, had 9 points and 10 rebounds
despite a whirlwind 24 hours in which he flew three times between
Miami and New York, in order to attend the birth of his son.
儘管他因為兒子出生的原因，24 小時內在 Miami 跟 NY來回三次，暴龍哥還
是得了 9 分 10 板。
The stakes Thursday night were clear, and the arena was thick with
tension from the start. Fans shouted throughout the national
anthem. They taunted James with a profane chant throughout the
evening. They roared when he went to the bench with four fouls in
the third quarter. It was the last moment of hope they had.
MSG 的群眾把情勢搞的很緊張，嘲諷 LBJ , 他第三節四犯的時候在板凳對他吼。
這也是他們所擁有的最後希望。
“We’re not walking around, moping around, hanging our heads,”
Anthony said. “I’m not allowing us to do that.”
Melo ：「比賽未到最後一刻.....」
REBOUNDS
Jeremy Lin effectively ruled himself out of Game 4, saying that
his surgically repaired left knee is not yet ready. “I haven’t
been able to load it or jump or explode or drive by somebody the
way I want to, so it’s going to be longer than that,” Lin told
reporters at the morning shootaround. Lin played three-on-three
Wednesday — his first full-court activity since undergoing knee
surgery — then took Thursday as a recovery day. He is expected to
practice Friday and then will be re-evaluated. “I just want to
take it day by day,” he said. “Game 4 doesn’t look great. Game
5, I have no idea.” ... Although Amar’e Stoudemire said he might
return by Sunday, Mike Woodson was less confident. “He’s not
able to do a whole lot of anything right now,” he said, adding,
“Nobody’s come to me and said anything about him playing on
Sunday.” ... Before Thursday, Steve Novak had started just four
games in his six-year career, all in the regular season, the last
in April 2009, when he was with the Los Angeles Clippers.
豪豪第四戰不會打，膝蓋未完全恢復。 第四戰幾乎不會打，第五戰不知道，
阿罵說他第四戰要出場，武僧表示沒信心，他認為阿罵還不 ok.
Novak 季後賽初先發，六年職業生涯只有先發四場，全部是季賽，上次要到
2009 他還在快艇隊時。
