Stoudemire a Star Center Who Isn’t Really a Center
ORLANDO, Fla. — Amar’e Stoudemire is not a center, but he plays one on
television. Often, and mostly quite well, despite his own protestations.
阿罵不是C，但是他打C打的很好，儘管他嘴巴上說我不想打C。
“I’m not starting at center,” Stoudemire declared in 2004, when he was
with the Phoenix Suns. “I’m a power forward.”
2004年時阿罵說我不是中鋒，我是個大前鋒。
(YI是個大後鋒)
Upon joining the Knicks, Stoudemire again made his preferences clear.
加入尼克時，阿罵也聲明過這一點。
“I’m a natural power forward,” he said in October, before adding, “but
if I have to play center for the betterment of the team, I would.”
10月的時候他說我就是一個大前鋒，但是如果能夠讓球對變的更好
我也是願意打中鋒啦~
It is for the betterment of the Knicks that Stoudemire — older, wiser
and more mature than in his Phoenix days — has gracefully accepted the
assignment, which is looking more permanent all the time.
阿罵比起在鳳凰城時更加成熟。
Stoudemire has started 14 straight games at center. The Knicks have gone
10-4 in that time, and Coach Mike D’Antoni is not about to mess with a
good thing. So Stoudemire, who tussled with the 7-foot-3-inch Zydrunas
Ilgauskas in Miami on Tuesday, will be banging with the 6-11, 275-pound
Dwight Howard on Thursday.
阿罵做為中鋒先發了14場，而這時尼克的戰績是10-4，這真是爽到教練..
打這麼好，我不做改變也是人之常情嘛~
所以呢，阿罵上場對上7-3的大Z，下一場要對上6-11，275磅的DH。
(D'Antoni當教練的原罪，他喜歡一大四小，當然阿罵當那個大的，以他的靈活性
和不錯中距離可以把對面的C 吃爽爽，但是防守端就要付出相同的代價)
“I just think we’re better this way,” D’Antoni said, “and we’ll
deal with it.”
教練:阿罵打中鋒很好阿(挖鼻孔)。
The Knicks (18-13) are off to their best start in years and have won 15
of their last 20 games, all with Stoudemire as their primary center. At
6 feet 10 inches and 240 pounds, he is undersize for the role, but
brilliantly effective in D’Antoni’s high-octane offense. He is second
in the league in scoring, with 26.3 points per game.
尼克打出了近年來最佳的開季，因為把阿罵拉上中鋒。
6-10，240磅，他在中鋒這個位置上身材吃虧，但是在D'Antoni的進攻體系下
卻過得很爽，26.3的場均得分排行聯盟第二。
None of this should be surprising, of course: Stoudemire was also quite
effective as an undersize center under D’Antoni in Phoenix. But this
was not the lineup that the Knicks envisioned when training camp began.
這並不讓人意外，以前在太陽隊時，阿罵就和D'A這樣搭配過了，不過這卻和球隊
所希望的陣容望有些出入。
D’Antoni hoped that the rookie Timofey Mozgov, who looked promising in
the preseason, could handle the job. But Mozgov wilted once the games
began, and the Knicks went 3-4 with him as the starter. Ronny Turiaf
inherited the role and the Knicks went 5-1. But Turiaf got banged up
and his effectiveness waned.
再開季前，教練希望Moz能夠勝任這個工作，可是他表現的不好，在他做為先發時
尼克的戰績只有3-4。
所以屠夫被拉上來當先發中鋒，尼克的戰績此時為5-1，不過因為屠夫的受傷，
他的能力受到了傷勢影響減弱。
(滿明顯的不論是攻守方面，主要是守)
Now Turiaf is a 15-minutes-a-game reserve, and Mozgov is out of the
rotation. So it is Stoudemire’s job and Stoudemire’s burden, even
if he still resists the label.
現在屠夫每場差不多上15分鐘，Moz則掉出了輪替，所以阿罵的負擔又加重了。
“The All-Star ballot has me at power forward,” he noted. “But playing
center is definitely working for us so far. And whatever creates wins,
we’re going to keep it going.”
我在明星賽球票時，位置明明就是大前鋒，可是現在我要打中鋒，不過能贏球就好。
The benefits and pitfalls are evident. Stoudemire is quicker and more
athletic than traditional centers, which makes him especially dangerous
in transition. But on defense, size quickly becomes an issue. Ilgauskas
had 12 points and 9 rebounds — 5 on offense — in the first quarter
Tuesday, mostly by reaching over the Knicks’ heads.
好處和壞處都很明顯，阿罵相較於傳統中鋒，他有更快的速度更好的運動能力
導致在transition時更加有威脅性，但是防守時就是會吃虧，大Z 那天拿下了
12分9籃板，其中有5個進攻籃板，而且很多是從尼克球員頭上拿下來的。
(那天大Z只打了14分鐘)
Howard, the league’s premier center, poses an even greater concern.
He is averaging 21 points and 12.9 rebounds and can overpower most
defenders with a combination of brawn and athleticism. He is surrounded
by capable shooters, which makes double-teaming problematic.
魔獸，聯盟中最佳的中鋒，場均21分12.9籃板，他的能力可以征服防守者，
而且他身邊有一堆射手，這使得想要包夾他變得更加困難。
(其實，放阿罵去守魔獸被吃就算了，不要有犯規麻煩就好，一個內線老實講
我們應付的過去，重點在於對面的PF的威脅怎麼樣，魔術交易過後好像用的
是Bass和Anderson當PF這兩個人..是在交易後才比較有機會的，我對他們在
PF上的能力並不太了解。而魔術跟尼克有著相同的問題，內線只有一個大個
子，那個大個子打得很辛苦。)
“He’s definitely a physical specimen down there in the post,”
Stoudemire said. “He’s a great defensive player. Offensively,
he’sa little limited, so we’re going to use that to our advantage.”
阿罵:DH的低位很威，防守也很威，不過他也有一些弱點 (這樣翻OK嗎?)
Stoudemire was hinting at Howard’s shooting range, which, despite
some improvement, remains mostly limited to the area around the basket.
阿罵在暗示DH的投籃雖然有進步但是還是不太行。
(這季的魔獸很恐怖..進攻的腳步很好，之後還有中距離擦板..)
The concern for the Knicks is foul trouble. They are wholly dependent
on Stoudemire, who is averaging a career-high 37.9 minutes per game,
and cannot beat an elite team without him.
尼克關心的是犯規麻煩的問題，尼克依賴阿罵，沒了他無法對抗優秀的球隊，
阿罵本季上場時間是新涯新高37.9分鐘。
Stoudemire has fouled out just once this season (in a Nov. 4 victory
over Chicago), and has accumulated at least five fouls on nine occasions.
阿罵本季有一次6犯畢業，11/4對公牛，之後有9次的5犯。
(本季對公牛兩場我們都贏，11/4是第一場，翻了一下box..超慘的，阿罵5-21..
2成4的命中率，罰球4-5，8籃板，3助攻，1抄截，2火鍋，8失誤，6犯，14分
不過那場TD拿了30分，三分球全隊16-24)
“We’re not going to speak about foul trouble,” Stoudemire said
Wednesday, while discussing Howard. “Hopefully, that doesn’t happen.
But I think the most important factor is to try to keep him off the
boards, try to keep him from getting easy baskets. It’s never easy.”
阿罵:先別討論犯規麻煩，希望他不會發生，最重要的是讓魔獸遠離籃框，
別有輕鬆得分的機會。 雖然這不容易。
D’Antoni said foul trouble was a concern, but added, “I’m sure they
have the same concerns of Dwight starting on Amar’e.”
小鬍子表示:犯規麻煩是一個問題，但是魔獸對上阿罵他們也會遇到這個問題。
(看誰先把對方打下去嗎= =?)
If Stoudemire falters, Turiaf will get the call. Asked who would be next,
D’Antoni paused a few seconds before saying, “Timmy,” referring to
Mozgov, who has barely played in the last month.
如果阿罵被打下去，下一個就換屠夫，那再下一個呢?
小鬍子猶豫了幾秒鐘，指了指旁邊那個大個子，Timmy，他最近一個月的上場時間
少的可憐。
Orlando (20-12) just underwent a dramatic overhaul, acquiring Gilbert Arenas,
Jason Richardson and Hedo Turkoglu in a pair of trades on Dec. 18. Orlando,
which had been struggling, has now won four straight games, including
victories over San Antonio and Boston, the two conference leaders.
魔術目前戰績20-12，在經過那次大交易後，他們狀況不錯，還贏了馬刺和超賽，
這兩個聯盟中的領先者。
(這場對戰滿重要的，尼克，公牛，老鷹，魔術，這幾支球隊競爭激烈，而且都很
有可能成為季後賽的對手，不論在戰績考量上，或者是季後賽的準備上，值得一看)
This will be the Knicks’ first game at Orlando’s new (very large) Amway
Center, and their first time facing the Magic this season. Their first
scheduled meeting, on Nov. 2, was postponed because of asbestos concerns
at Madison Square Garden.
這是本季尼克隊魔術的第一場比賽，本來應該在11/02是第一場的，不過因為麥迪遜花園
因為整修出了點問題，而延後了。
D’Antoni said he was impressed with the Magic’s new lineup and its array
of 3-point shooters. He tried to play down the concerns about Howard.
小鬍子對魔術新陣容的三分射手印象深刻。 他試圖不要把焦點放在魔獸身上。
“Size isn’t everything, you know that,” he said wryly.
小鬍子揶揄道:Size isn’t everything, you know that.
(....)
In truth, the Knicks would happily acquire a skilled, muscle-bound 7-footer
to play next to Stoudemire. But those players are difficult to obtain, and
D’Antoni seems perfectly comfortable with his smallish lineup. After all,
his undersized Suns teams averaged 58 wins over four seasons.
其實尼克也希望有一個技巧型，肌肉棒子七呎長人輔助阿罵，但是聯盟中
好的肉棒很珍貴稀少，而且小鬍子看起來很喜歡他的小個子陣容。
畢竟，他的小個子太陽隊四季下來平均有58勝..
(就靠這一點說嘴，但是我們也說不過他..)
“I’m a little slow at changing what we do,” D’Antoni said. “I fully
believe what we do is going to work over the long haul, and we’ll stick
with it.”
這段不太會翻，誰來幫我一下。
我改變的有點慢，我相信我們可以持續下去。
