Thunder-Knicks Preview 来源：http://tinyurl.com/a697pkq The Oklahoma City Thunder knew their defensive intensity had to improve following their worst stretch of the season. 雷霆队知道要提升防守上的强度来面对本赛季最困难的赛程。 Has it ever. 有想过吗！ The Thunder and Knicks each go for a sixth victory in seven games on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, where New York could again be without Carmelo Anthony in this matchup of division leaders. 分别寻求近七战六胜的雷霆和尼克将於本周四在MSG碰面，但Melo有可能会缺席这次的分区 龙头对决。 Coach Scott Brooks knew his team had to "regroup and figure out it out defensively" after giving up 113.7 points per game during an three-game skid from Feb. 12-20, and the Northwest-leading Thunder (44-16) have not disappointed. They've held their last six opponents to an average of 95.2 points on 40.8 percent shooting 雷霆在经过2/12~2/20的三连败(平均失分113.7)後又找回了他们的防守，接下来的六场对 手平均只得到95.2分和40.8%的命中率。 "I think the defense was the key," said Brooks, whose team limited the Los Angeles Lakers to 16 fourth-quarter points and 40.3 shooting overall in Tuesday's 122-105 victory. "We do that, we're going to get opportunities on the break, which we've been pretty efficient scoring and converting our opportunities." “我认为防守是关键”教练说，雷霆成功压制了湖人，湖人在第四节只得到16分和整场 40.3%的命中率，以122-105获胜。“我们做到了，得到突破的机会，有效的得分和成功的 转换” The Thunder, second in the Western Conference, rank among the NBA leaders with 17.1 fast-break points per game, which comes as no surprise considering Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant are finishing many of those. 雷霆目前暂居西区第二，平均每场17.1的快攻得分，毫无疑问地归功於西河和KD。 Westbrook and Durant, though, are also committing more turnovers per game (6.7) than any NBA duo. Taking care of the ball hasn't been the Thunder's forte - they're committing 15.5 turnovers per game - but they equaled a league mark for fewest (two) giveaways in a game on Tuesday. 但西河和KD场均失误为6.7。控制好球权不是雷霆的强项(场均14.5次失误，倒数第三)-但 在礼拜二对上湖人队时只有发生两次失误。 "I think we've done a great job of just learning and trying to get better at it each and every game," said Westbrook, who's scoring a team-best 32.2 points per game with 5.8 assists and 5.5 rebounds during this 5-1 stretch. "Not really focusing on it but just making the right decisions." "我们做得很好，也学习和尝试在每场比赛做到更好"在这六场平均32.2分5.8助攻和5.5篮 板的西河说。"不单只是关注於此并做出正确决定" The Knicks (37-21) have done a great job taking care of the ball - averaging a league-low 12.1 turnovers - but that wasn't the case in Wednesday's 87-77 victory at Detroit when they committed 11 of their season-high 21 in the opening 12 minutes. 尼克相对在这方面做得很好，场均12.1次失误领先全联盟。忘了说，今天对活赛发生了21 次失误包含第一节的11次。 "Sometimes you can try to over-attack,'' said Raymond Felton, who finished with 26 points and a season high-tying seven turnovers. "Sometimes you've got to take what the defense gives you no matter who's playing.'' "有时要尝试攻击"得了26分和7次失误的Felton说。"有时候要试着攻击防守阵型不管是谁 防守你" (<===这句话我不确定) New York, now second in the East after pulling a half-game ahead of Indiana on Wednesday, improved to 4-4 this season without Anthony, who left Monday's 102-97 win at Cleveland with a right knee injury. 尼克目前以半场胜差领先溜马占居东区第二，在Melo缺席下战绩也提升为4-4。 "That is the sign of a true team, a team that is willing to step up and make plays and win regardless of who is in uniform," coach Mike Woodson said. "这是一个团队的象徵，一个团队不论在谁缺席下都来加强和做到每一个play来获胜"武僧 It's uncertain if Anthony, the league's second-leading scorer with 28.2 points per game - Durant is averaging 28.6 - will miss a second straight game on Thursday. 联盟第二的得分好手-Melo场均28.2分-还不确定是否缺席这场比赛。 Even if he does, Thunder big men Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins could have their hands full with Amare Stoudemire, who has matched a season-high point total (22) in each of the last two games. 即使Melo缺席了，雷霆的两只大肉棒(?)会来招呼阿骂。 Stoudemire is shooting 72.9 percent (43 for 59) from the field and averaging 17.3 points over the last six. 阿骂近六场场均17.3分和72.9%的命中率。 The Knicks, 9-3 at home against the West, have lost eight of 10 in this series, but they won 112-98 in the Thunder's last trip to MSG on Dec. 22, 2010. 尼克在主场对上西区球队是9-3，但对上雷霆近10场是2-8，上次赢雷霆已经是2010年了。 Oklahoma City has won just four of its last 11 as the visitor, yet two of those wins have been against the Pacific-leading Los Angeles Clippers - including a 108-104 victory on Sunday. 雷霆在过去11场客场只赢了4场，但包括了快艇的两场。 ============================================================================= 翻译的不好 如有错误 敬请见谅!! 话说今天赖在床上看gameday 应该爬起来看才对-_-# --
