Carmelo Anthony simply won't recognize these Denver Nuggets - even though he
had just about everything to do with the makeup of their roster.
瓜瓜跟現在的金塊隊一點都不熟悉。
The New York Knicks visit the Pepsi Center on Wednesday night in Anthony's
first trip back to Denver since forcing his way out of town more than two years
ago in a blockbuster trade that reshaped both franchises.
尼克造訪金塊的百事中心是瓜瓜自從交易後的首次回歸。
The only familiar face he'll see is point guard Ty Lawson. None of the other
Nuggets were here when he was wearing powder blue and gold.
現在熟悉的只有勞森，沒有其他的球員是當時他在金塊的隊友。
Anthony was feeling nostalgic after the Knicks practiced at the Pepsi Center on
Tuesday afternoon.
在禮拜二的練球後瓜瓜還是對金塊很懷念。
''I grew up here, I mean, sort of to say. This is where I started my career,''
he said. ''I was 18, 19 years old when I came here. This city grew with me, I
grew with the city. We had a lot of good times here in Denver, as a team, as a
community. And then it came to a point where we had to split ways. ... It was a
mutual agreement, both parties agreed upon that. ... No hard feelings. It was a
business decision at that point.''
"我在這裡長大，我是說，這是我職業生涯的開端，"瓜瓜說。"當我18.19歲時來到這裡，
我和這城市一起成長，我們有很多美好的時光，作為團隊，作為共同體。但還是到了該分
開的時候，這是一個雙方同意互惠的協議。沒有難過的感覺，這只是個商業上的決定。"
The trade is turning out to be a win-win for both teams.
這個交易是雙贏的局面。
Denver landed a bevy of young players, trade exemptions and draft picks they've
used to retool their roster, and the Knicks got a bona fide superstar to build
a team around.
金塊得到一群年輕的球員和選秀權和降低豪華稅，用來重新組合他們的陣容：而尼克也得
到一位巨星而可以圍繞打造團隊。
The resurgent Knicks (38-23) are leading the Atlantic Division. The Nuggets
(43-22) are in the hunt for home-court advantage in the playoffs, and they're
out to prove coach George Karl's proclamation that an NBA franchise doesn't
need a superstar to be great.
尼克以38-23領先大西洋組。金塊(43-22)在追求季後賽的主場優勢，也在證明他們的教練
卡爾所說的，NBA的球隊不需要一個超級巨星是偉大的。
Karl has repeated that line so often this season that it's become his mantra,
although he acknowledges there's a caveat: If the Nuggets keep on rolling,
Lawson and/or forward Danilo Gallinari will be considered stars before long.
卡爾在這賽季一直重複這句話，甚至變口頭禪了。即使他知道金塊持續有好的發展，勞森
和嘎你那裡或許會成為下一個巨星。
Gallinari came over in the 'Melo deal along with fellow starter Kosta Koufos,
key reserve Wilson Chandler and emergency center Timofey Mozgov. The Nuggets
also got Raymond Felton, whom they flipped for point guard Andre Miller and two
draft picks, one of which landed them Jordan Hamilton.
呱呱的交易使得金快得到了噶你那裡.庫佛司.威錢和提摩西.肥盾。而肥盾又換了A米和兩
個選秀權，其中一個選秀權是選到現在的漢米爾頓。
They used trade exemptions from the deal to acquire Corey Brewer from Dallas
and JaVale McGee from Washington. A first-round draft pick acquired in the
blockbuster trade was used to get starter Andre Iguodala from Philadelphia last
summer, and Denver used a second-round pick from the deal to draft Quincy
Miller.
金塊也叫由交易獲得Brewer和麥基，第一輪選秀權換到小AI,第二輪選到Q米。
That's 10 Nuggets connected to Anthony's departure from Denver.
這是一段10名球員和瓜瓜離開金塊的故事。
The Nuggets were first-round playoff fodder in each of the last two seasons
following Anthony's exit, but they only advanced out of the first round once in
Anthony's time in Denver. They're trying to catch Memphis for the fourth seed
or even the Clippers for the third seed, which could go a long way in helping
them go deeper in this year's playoffs.
金塊隊在瓜瓜離開後的兩次季後賽都在第一輪出局，但瓜瓜在也只有一次進入第二輪之後
現在金塊在追著灰熊的第四順或甚至是快艇的第三順位，以幫助金塊在季後賽走得更長遠
After all, they're 28-3 at home.
畢竟，金塊的主場是28-3。
''Even when the trade happened, the guys, they got back and to finish off the
season the way they did that year and then to rebuild the way they did and get
the team that George was really looking forward to having, a young team,
fast-paced team, up-tempo team, I think this is one of the better teams that
he's coached,'' Anthony said.
"即使交易真的發生了，球員們還是完成了所有賽事，並朝著卡爾所希望的方向建軍，一支
年輕節奏快速的球隊，在他的執教下會是一支好球隊。"瓜瓜說。
The Knicks are ahead of Brooklyn and Boston atop the Atlantic Division and are
second in the Eastern Conference behind defending champion Miami.
尼克是大西洋組的領先，但在東區落後衛冕軍熱火。
Anthony isn't 100 percent for his return to the Rocky Mountains, however. A
nagging right knee injury sidelined him for three games before he returned
Monday night and collected 14 points and 10 rebounds in the Knicks' 92-63
blowout loss at Golden State.
瓜瓜不是以100%的狀態來到丹佛，因為膝傷缺席了三場比賽，在傷後的第一場得了14分抓
了10個籃板，而尼克以63-92慘敗給勇士。
Returning to familiar surroundings might keep his mind off his knee.
回到熟悉的環境或習可以暫時忘記膝傷。
''I was definitely looking forward to coming back,'' Anthony said. ''It's been
two years since I've been back, so I'm definitely looking forward to the
basketball game tomorrow.''
"我肯定期待著回來。"瓜瓜說，"離開到現在已經兩年了，所以我期待著明天的比賽。"
Even though it's been so long since his departure, fans are sure to let 'Melo
have it. After all, Anthony was jeered at home in the months leading up to his
trade in February 2011.
即使瓜瓜的離開已經過了很久，但球迷們確定會給瓜瓜一個難忘的夜晚(嘲笑)
<這段不會翻得順暢一點，徵求高手>
To be sure, some will show him some love for all the memories of last-second
shots and 30-point nights over his eight seasons in Denver that included a trip
to the Western Conference finals in 2009。
可以確定的，有些會記得過去8個賽季瓜瓜的絕殺和30分以上的比賽，和帶領巾快跨殺到西
區冠軍的2009年。
''I hope it is a celebration but then when the game gets started I hope they
are supportive of us and crazy wild for us,'' Karl said. ''The Knicks are one
of the teams that travel well in the NBA and has a lot of fans. Our fans have
done a good job of drowning out the Laker fans and drowning out the Chicago
Bull fans.''
"我希望比賽開始時所有球迷衛我們瘋狂.慶祝。"卡爾說。"尼克是一隻有很多球迷的好球
隊。但我們的球迷準備好了"
Lawson figures it will be a playoff atmosphere when the game tips off.
勞森認為這會是場季後賽張力的比賽。
''This game is going to be crazy,'' Lawson said. ''It will be exciting.
Probably the most exciting game of the year. There is going to be so much
energy in the gym and they will have the fire to beat us.''
"這場比賽會很瘋狂，"勞森說。"這將會很興奮，或許這是今年最令人興奮的一場比賽了，
百事中心會充滿活力，而他們會試著擊敗我們。"

如有錯誤 敬請見諒指教 謝謝
看樣子瓜瓜會上場比賽了，為什麼不選擇休息呢？？
私心希望瓜瓜可以休息幾場，順便練一下其他人
目前看來第二順位跟第三順位對我們是比較沒有影響
