Don't mess with 'Melo The Menace'


不要輕估"甜瓜的威脅"


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

正文開始:


Carmelo Anthony has been fully aware of the criticism since he joined the
Knicks. He's a ball stopper. He doesn't pass the rock. He's not a good
defensive player.


MELO在大眾眼中總被認為是一個"球到了他手中就傳不出來"的球員,是停球者

也是一個防守不佳的球員


As Anthony said after the Knicks' 85-79 victory over the Sixers Wednesday
night, he takes all knocks as a "personal vendetta." Before Melo can speak,
the stats show that since the Knicks acquired him last February, he hasn't
had much of an effect on the team in terms of quality. In other words, based
on record, points allowed, points scored and field goal percentage, the
Knicks, so far, are basically the same team as they were prior to Anthony’s
arrival, going from two games above .500 (28-26) to two games above .500
(20-18) through Jan. 11.


數據顯示出自從去年MELO加盟尼克後,他並沒有幫助球隊在團隊效應上有所提升

換句話說,在戰績,每場失分,每場得分以及命中率上,並沒有因為MELO的到來有顯著的增長

在MELO到來之前尼克的戰績是28-26,有MELO後是20-18,相去不遠


Presumably, one of the reasons the Knicks traded for Anthony was because they
viewed him as a franchise player, a difference-maker along with Amare
Stoudemire. While no one doubts Melo's scoring prowess, it’s fair to
question whether he has a tangible impact on a team’s ability to win games.
In fact, the Nuggets have plainly improved since shipping their superstar,
going from 32-25 with Anthony to now 24-11 without him. They are outscoring
opponents by about 10 points per game since Melo left.


據推測,尼克推動MELO的交易案的原因之一是MELO是一個超級巨星,與Amare的個案不同

雖然沒有人懷疑MELO的得分能力,但是有人懷疑他是否在幫助球隊贏球上有所幫助

事實上,金塊在少了MELO之後戰績一路竄升,MELO在的時候金塊的戰績是32-25

而沒有MELO以後是24-11!而且他們每場可以淨贏對手10分左右!


But could we be finally starting to see a different Melo this season? Not
only is he scoring more points than last season (26.6 per game), he's
averaging a career-high in assists with 4.5 per game -- who said he doesn't
pass the rock? -- and a career-high in steals with 1.4 per game -- who said
he's not a good defensive player? Through 10 games, Melo has already improved
in different facets of his game as the team's new point-forward. And that's
without a full training camp and with only two preseason contests under his
belt.


而在今年的新球季我們是否能看到一個全新的MELO呢?

在進攻方面,他的場均得分比去年的還高

而且MELO平均每場比賽還送出了生涯新高的4.5次助攻,誰說他不會傳球呢?

防守方面,MELO的抄截也刷新了個人生涯紀錄,他平均每場有1.4次抄截!

這個全新的MELO已經有了顯而易見的進步,甚至在隊上扛起了"控球前鋒"的角色!



After Wednesday night's win, Mike D'Antoni said the team still needs to find
a better flow in the offense in the fourth quarter. They're only averaging
22.7 points and have a -0.8 average scoring margin in the period. But Melo
has been carrying the guys on his back for now. He's currently averaging 8.6
points to close out games, which is tops in the league.


在今天的勝利之後,冷笑話說球隊在第四節的進攻上仍然需要找一個更佳的方案

尼克在第四節平均得分只有22.7,相較於對手平均低了0.8分

但MELO在第四節一肩扛起了球隊的進攻,他平均在第四節得8.6分,獨步全聯盟


"Carmelo is very effective at what he does," D'Antoni said. "You've got to be
careful not to talk to him too much. He's a competitor and he knows how to
play. We've just gotta get things straight with the whole team and make sure
we get into something. We've got to get a little movement. We're really
stagnant in the last quarter. I don't know if it's just tiredness or whatever
it is. But we really get stagnant and you just can't do that in this league."


冷笑話說:MELO是一個很有效率的球員,你在跟他說話的時候必須小心點

他是一個天生的競爭者,他不喜歡輸的感覺,而且重要的是,他知道該怎麼做並且贏球

冷笑話還說,我們必須要有所轉變,第四節熄火的現象有可能是因為疲倦或是什麼的

但是必須要盡一切努力去改變,在這個聯盟,第四節進攻當機只會讓你難以生存下去


Stats don't necessarily tell the whole story. Melo's energy and vocal
leadership this season on both sides of the ball has initiated the team's
rhythm right out of the gate. That really showed against the Sixers, when
Anthony got into the head of Andre Iguodala on offense and defense
immediately. In their head-to-head matchup, Melo scored nine points and had
two steals, while Iggy had 0 points and three turnovers in the first quarter.


數據並不能告訴你所有的事情,MELO的活力已經確實感染了整個球隊

在今天對76人的比賽中,MELO與Iggy在進攻與防守兩方面上都正面對壘

比賽的第一節MELO得了九分並且有兩抄截,而Iggy沒有得分且有三個失誤


After a quiet second quarter, going scoreless, Anthony was back at it with
Iguodala and showed no mercy. After they were called for technical fouls in
the third quarter, and Iggy clapped and said some words to Melo during a
timeout, the Knicks' leading scorer went right at the Sixers' starting small
forward. Melo scored 10 points and finished the period with a pass to Josh
Harrellson for the baseline corner 3-pointer. Entering the fourth quarter,
the Knicks had a commanding 67-56 lead.


在第二節的寧靜後,MELO爆發了,兩人在第三節因為一次衝突都被吹了技術犯規

而之後Iggy不知在暫停時對MELO說了些什麼,MELO爆走了

他面對Iggy毫不手軟,單節獨拿10分且在讀秒階段傳給底線的肯胖

幫助他投進了一球重要三分,讓尼克在進入第四節時能帶著11分的領先!


A similar storyline unfolded last Friday in Washington, D.C., where the
Knicks beat the Wizards, 99-96. The key turning point of the game was when
Wizards forward Chris Singleton, who was guarding Anthony, clapped right in
front of him after a defensive breakup in the second quarter. That energized
Melo and he took the rookie right to school, scoring 13 points as the Knicks
won the period 28-15. That changed the tune for the Knicks, after trailing
32-18 in the first quarter. They were back in the game at that point, and
went on to close it out.


同樣的事情也發生在上一場對華盛頓巫師的比賽,那場比賽尼克以99-96險勝

比賽的轉折點在第二節,巫師隊負責防守MELO的前鋒是Chris Singleton

他在一次防守守住MELO後興奮的拍拍手,這讓MELO很不爽,非常不爽

接著,MELO就用單節13分的得分狠狠得給這個小菜鳥上了一課

MELO就靠著這表現把尼克從第一節15-28的落後一手拉回比賽中,並且最後逆轉獲勝


The moral of the story is: Don't mess with "Melo The Menace." He's tired of
hearing what he can't do. With the Knicks on a four-game winning streak, he's
prepared to show you more of what he can do.


這故事告訴我們:不要輕估了"MELO的威脅"

他已經厭倦了聽到人家說他"只能做什麼,做不到什麼"

從尼克的四連勝開始,他準備向大家展示,他可以做什麼!
