Knicks-Nets to play Thursday
By Mike Mazzeo and Ian Begley | Special to ESPNNewYork.com

NEW YORK -- The highly anticipated regular-season opener between the Brooklyn
Nets and the New York Knicks scheduled for Thursday night at the Nets' $1
billion Barclays center will be played as scheduled, despite the devastation
caused by Hurricane Sandy.

據ESPN紐約站報導，颶風“桑迪”襲來，紐約當地居民的生活受到了很大影響，甚至於原
定於台灣時間本週五在巴克萊中心進行的尼克同籃網之間的紐約同城德比戰也可能因此而
推遲。

NBA spokesman Tim Frank on Tuesday afternoon tweeted that the league is
"assessing the situation" but said in an email later Tuesday evening that the
game would go on as scheduled.

NBA發言人蒂姆-弗蘭克告訴記者稱，目前這場比賽仍在計劃之內，如無意外則將按照原計
劃進行，但接下來幾天，聯盟會繼續評估局勢，看是否需要推遲比賽。

Brooklyn borough president Marty Markowitz was uncertain of the game's status
but vowed to support any decision made by authorities.

布魯克林區區長 Marty Markowitz表示他不確定這場比賽是否會如期舉行，但他會支持聯
盟的一切決定。

"Right now, our biggest priority in Brooklyn is helping with the recovery
from this terrible storm," Markowitz said in a statement to ESPNNewYork.com.
"I am confident that the NBA, in conjunction with the MTA, the NYPD and all
of the necessary city agencies, will make a decision that represents the best
interests not only of sports fans but of all of our citizens in New York City.

“現階段，布魯克林最優先考慮的是幫助大家從這場颶風災難中恢復過來，”布魯克林區
長Marty Markowitz在一份聲明中說道，“我相信NBA會跟紐約交通運輸管理局、紐約市警
察局以及其他相關城市管理部門齊心協力，他們將會做出最符合利益的選擇，不只是為了
體育球迷們，也是為了紐約城的所有居民。”

"If the game is played Thursday, I certainly encourage fans to carpool and to
take city buses -- which will begin running with limited service at 5 p.m.
today. ... I expect that adequate numbers of traffic agents will be employed
to move traffic swiftly, as has been the experience with the previous events
at the Barclays Center."

 “如果比賽如期進行，我肯定會鼓勵球迷們拼車前往或者是乘坐公共汽車，我預計屆時
會有充足的交通協調人員在崗讓交通更加流暢，之前我們有過這方面的經驗了。”

The arena didn't sustain any damage from Hurricane Sandy, a Nets spokesman
confirmed Tuesday, but the storm forced the shutdown of public transportation
throughout the tri-state area. This is problematic because fans traveling to
the Barclays Center are expected to rely heavily on public transportation.
The arena is in close proximity to major subway and Long Island Rail Road
stations.

本場比賽是尼克和籃網的賽季揭幕戰，同時這也是籃網新主場巴克萊中心迎來的首場NBA
常規賽，雖然籃網發言人確認稱巴克萊中心沒有因為颶風受到損傷，但颶風還是導致了三
州地區（紐約州、新澤西州、康乃提克州三個州的交界處稱為三州地區）交通癱瘓，對於
要前往巴克萊中心看球同時又非常依賴公共交通的球迷而言，這是一大問題，因為球館跟
主要地鐵線以及長島鐵路站離得很近。

If fans choose instead to drive to the game, it could cause major traffic
headaches in the area surrounding the arena, which is ill-suited for heavy
traffic.

如果球迷們選擇自己驅車前往球館，這可能會導致球館周圍出現重大交通堵塞，因為本身
巴克萊中心周圍的交通狀況就非常擁擠。

New York mayor Michael Bloomberg said during a news conference on Tuesday
that he hopes the game will be played as scheduled, and will be in attendance
if it occurs.

紐約市長Michael Bloomberg在週二的新聞發布會上表示希望這場比賽能如期舉行，並且
如果照常舉行的話他將會出席。

The Nets will practice at the Barclays Center on Wednesday afternoon because
power is out in their East Rutherford, N.J., training facility, a team
spokesman confirmed. The Knicks held practice on Tuesday evening at their
facility in Greenburgh and planned to do so again on Wednesday morning.

今天尼克參加了訓練，而籃網將在明天於巴克萊中心參加訓練，據球隊發言人透露，這是
因為他們位於東拉斯福德的訓練館停電。
