看板 Knicks 關於我們 聯絡資訊
原文:http://0rz.tw/363os Eddy Curry has made the slow walk back to the bench several times over the last three games. It's an exercise that does not sit well with the Knicks' center. 咖哩過去三場好像都在溫板凳,他不太習慣。 The numbers reflect the frustration Curry is feeling. He's totaled just 19 points and 10 rebounds against Utah, Boston and Milwaukee. And none of those teams has an equal and opposite force. 19分10籃板,這三場的成績單不太及格。 He's feeling lost in the crowd under the rim. 咖哩迷惑了。 "I get touches, but it seems like there's already somebody around me when I get the ball," Curry said. "I'm the kind of player who relies on teammates to get me the ball, and once I get the ball I need a little bit of room to work. Right now, I don't have any room. There's always an extra defender around me and I'm just trying to play without turning the ball over, trying to play smart and not force anything." 每當我持球的時候,包夾就上來了。我需要隊友的傳導和空間做動作,現在也許需要改 變打法。 Against the Bucks, he couldn't move past Andrew Bogut, which resulted in a quick exit in the second half. 對上雄鹿,咖哩與澳洲狀元的對決中居下風,下半場幾乎都在溫板凳。 Knicks coach Isiah Thomas immediately changes the subject to defense when asked to explain the decision to send out David Lee. 老湯對此做出解釋。 "I think Eddy's like a lot of good offensive players: they tend to judge their game by how many points they're scoring," Thomas said. "And the next step for Eddy is being able to affect the game without having to score 20 points. Once we can get him thinking that way, then his 20 points is a bonus as opposed to being a need." 咖哩需要改變,不只是專注於進攻。如何對球隊有所貢獻進而贏球是他的課題,20分 是需要而非必要。 Even though Curry does not match up very well with Phoenix, there are no lineup changes planned for this evening when Amare Stoudemire pays a visit to Madison Square Garden. 咖哩對上太陽一向打得不太妙,明天主場的比賽,尼克沒有任何改變先發的計畫。 Curry got 17 points and eight rebounds in a 113-102 loss to the Suns earlier this month. 17分8籃板,上次的成績單。 Despite the devastating loss in Boston on Thursday, everyone in the Knicks' organization is bragging about the forward momentum of three wins in four games. They're calling it a good week. 忘掉波士頓大屠殺,尼克延續過去四戰三勝的氣勢。 There is still not a lot of confidence outside the locker room because there have been some questionable performances that have led to constant speculation about Thomas' future. 老湯的去留仍是一個問號。 "I really thought I had seen everything in this league from my Indiana days and everything, but this is a whole other monster and we kind of brought that on ourselves," said Fred Jones, who's defensive ability might come in handy against Phoenix. "If we turn this around and start playing good basketball, we know everything will go in our favor." F.瓊斯:“過去在溜馬的日子,什麼大風大浪沒見過?!把球打好最重要啦!!” Stephon Marbury did not play in the first meeting against his former team. He left town in a hurry after learning of a pending demotion. Marbury suffered a shoulder injury on Friday, but expects to play tonight. 小馬上次對上太陽的比賽沒出賽。他肩膀有傷,但還是有可能上場。 原文:http://0rz.tw/c33nk Even Eddy Curry could not resist poking fun at himself during the last three games. “I’ve been on vacation,” Curry told reporters after practice Saturday. 對於過去三場的表現,咖哩只能苦笑。“就像放假一樣。” Curry, the Knicks’ starting center, was not on a remote beach Thursday, but it seemed that way. He scored 4 points in the Knicks’ 45-point loss to the Boston Celtics, missing 9 of 11 shots. On Friday, Curry was a spectator late in the fourth quarter as the Knicks came back to beat the Milwaukee Bucks. 對上波士頓,4分,11投2中;逆轉公鹿的比賽中,咖哩第四節作壁上觀。 Curry’s recent decline is the latest pothole in what has been a difficult season for the team. But Coach Isiah Thomas said he saw no reason to change Curry’s role in the rotation, perhaps because the Knicks have won three of their last four games. 咖哩的失常對尼克無疑是個打擊。老湯說不會更動先發,也許是因為贏了過去4場比賽 中的3場。 “He draws so much attention down low,” Thomas said of Curry. “He’s getting double-teamed and triple-teamed, which consequently opens up a lot of things for everyone else. So good things are happening for other people.” 他吸引了對手的注意力,咖哩遭到包夾或是三個人的看管。為其他人製造了機會,而他 們也能把握,產生好結果。 Thomas also said that Curry had been playing well on defense; he has four blocks in the last three games. But Curry’s struggles offensively are nearly impossible to overlook. In the past three games, beginning with Monday’s victory against the Utah Jazz, he had a combined 19 points and 10 rebounds. Last season, Curry averaged 19.5 points and 7 rebounds a game. 咖哩在防守方面轉性(?!),過去三場比賽送出四鍋,但進攻方面慘不忍睹。三場合計19 分10籃板。上個賽季,場均19.5分7籃板。 If the problems persist when the Knicks (5-10) play host to the speedy Phoenix Suns (12-4) on Sunday night, Thomas might give Curry a quick hook. That would most likely create an opportunity for David Lee, whose playing time has been limited this season. Unlike Curry and Zach Randolph, Lee does not need to take a lot of shots to be effective. 如果問題繼續存在的話,對上太陽比賽,大衛‧李將有較多的上場機會。本季他的上場 時間被壓縮。不像禁區雙寶,他在防守上是比較有貢獻的,而不需專注在進攻上。 Curry and Randolph rarely seem to play well at the same time. But Curry also saw no reason to tinker with the lineup. 禁區雙寶很少同時發威。不過咖哩也不是一無是處。 “I think it can work,” Curry said of the low-post tandem he forms with Randolph. “We’ve won games with both of us on the court, so it’s obvious that it can work. But it’s going to take some patience. It’s going to take some hard work.” 我們二寶低位單打的功夫還是挺有一套,也能發揮贏球效用,只是需要點時間。這有點 難度。 A few weeks ago, Thomas threatened to bench several players, Curry included. Curry, who scored at least 12 points in each of the Knicks’ first 12 games, said Saturday that he did not feel pressured by the threat. He said he would prefer to play through his dry spells. 幾個禮拜前,老湯將幾名球員放在板凳上,咖哩是其中一個。本季頭12場比賽,咖哩平 均拿下12分。咖哩也說他之前打得比較好。 “Especially when I’m not playing well, I definitely hate coming out of the game,” said Curry, who played only 4 minutes 37 seconds in the fourth quarter of Friday’s 91-88 victory against Milwaukee. “I always feel like when I’m out there, it’s an opportunity for me to try and turn things around.” E.咖哩:“當我表現得不好,我特別討厭坐在板凳上。”對上公鹿的比賽,第四節只上 場4分37秒,我好像不存在一樣。對我來說,這也許是另一個機會。 Point guard Stephon Marbury was likewise not on the court for the comeback. He missed the entire fourth quarter with an injured right shoulder. Marbury said Saturday that he felt fine and had been cleared by the Knicks’ medical staff to play against the Suns. He missed the Knicks’ first game against Phoenix, nearly three weeks ago, when he briefly left the team. 小馬因為肩傷錯失了第四節,不過對上太陽的比賽,他還是有可能會上場。他也缺席了上 次對上太陽的客場作戰。 Curry said the Knicks never imagined that November would present so many obstacles. But brighter days — in theory, at least — appear to be on the horizon. 對尼克來說,11月的確不好過。不過現在好像又出現了一道曙光。 The Knicks played 7 of 15 games on the road in November, but they play 5 of 14 games on the road in December. They played five of the league’s top six teams — Boston, Orlando, Phoenix, Utah and Detroit — in November, going 1-4. Only five of their opponents in December currently have winning records. 11月有7場客場比賽,到了12月,只有5場。客場七戰中,對上波士頓、奧蘭多、鳳凰城 、猶他、底特律,戰績是難看的1勝4負。12月的比賽中,只有5個對手本季有對尼克贏球 的紀錄。 “Thank God,” Thomas said, laughing, about this month’s schedule. 這個月的賽程排得不錯。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.164.116.143 ※ 編輯: carter09 來自: 218.164.116.143 (12/02 23:52)
