Knicks nab Atlantic Division title 外电连结：http://0rz.tw/k6XT3 Nineteen years is a long time. So you'd think maybe the New York Knicks would want to celebrate a little after clinching their first division title since 1994 on Tuesday. But other than a few blue T-shirts, there wasn't much to commemorate the moment in the team's locker room. Instead, the Knicks made it clear that they're focused on loftier goals. "The big picture is winning a title," Mike Woodson said. "That's all I'm in it for." 十九年是一段漫长的时间。所以，你会觉得也许尼克在赢巫师之後想要庆祝一下，因为这 是他们自1994年以来的第一个分组冠军。但尼克的更衣室对这个值得纪念的时间刻没有太 大的反应，相反的，尼克明确表示，他们专注於更崇高的目标。 武僧说：那个画面是赢得一个总冠军，这才是我们想要的。 The Knicks took a step toward that end on Tuesday with a 120-99 win over the Washington Wizards. 尼克用120-99战胜巫师让他们坐上大西洋组的龙头宝座 The victory over Washington extended their winning streak to 13, the third-longest in franchise history. It also guaranteed the Knicks a home-court advantage in at least the first round of the playoffs, by virtue of the division crown. 战胜巫师让他们保持13连胜(在球队历史上的第三长的连胜纪录)。它还保证了尼克至少在 季後赛第一轮的主场优势。 More importantly, the Knicks maintained a 2 1/2 game lead over the Indiana Pacers for the second seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. 更重要的是，尼克在东区第二种子以2 1/2比赛领先溜马。 "It’s just one little step. One building block," Jason Kidd said of the Atlantic crown. "One of our goals when we started the training camp in October was to win the division. We did that this evening. But that doesn’t mean anything. We still have a long ways to go." Kidd说：这只是一小步，一个基本要做到的事，我们10月开始训练营时，赢得大西洋组冠 军只是我们的目标之一，我们今天晚上做到了，但是，这并不意味着什麽，我们仍然有很 长的路要走。” A few weeks ago, the division title -- and any shot at longterm success in the playoffs -- seemed very much in doubt for these Knicks. New York was dealing with injuries to Tyson Chandler and Carmelo Anthony and mired in a four-game losing streak on the west coast. 几个星期前，分组冠军、在季後赛中取得成功，对尼克而言似乎都有很大的疑问。那时尼 克在客场四连败，拳王和Melo都在伤病中。 "At that point, you start doubting a lot of things," Anthony said. Melo说：在那时，你开始怀疑了很多东西。 But the All-Star forward got fluid drained from his knee and J.R. Smith started to drain shots. The Knicks haven't looked back since. 但这个全明星前锋膝盖的积水抽出後，JR开始火热的投篮手感，尼克从那时开始没有回头 的往前冲刺。 The Knicks leaned on Anthony and Smith again on Tuesday to put away the Wizards. Anthony had a game-high 36 points and Smith finished with 17 points on 7-for-14 shooting. Melo和JR再次合作收拾了巫师。Melo得到全场最高的36分，JR17分(14投7中)。 "Guys are committed, and we're executing," Woodson said. 武僧说：那些伙计们承诺的事，我们正在执行。 Anthony's been executing at historic levels of late. In his last five games, he's scored 40.6 points per game on 61.1 percent shooting. He's hit 55.6 percent of his threes and pulled down 8.1 rebounds per game. Melo一直处於他职业生涯的较高水平，在最近五场比赛，他平均每场比赛拿下40.6分(投 篮命中率61.1％、三分球55.6％命中率)，并且每场平均抓下8.1个篮板。 (以後别再说Melo除了得分什麽都没做，他还有抢篮板啦，不过没看到这个统计数字还真 不知道他的命中率那麽高，打铁王有换人做了吗？XD) He tied Bernard King's franchise record with five straight games of at least 35 points. 他追平了Bernard King's连续5场至少35分的队史纪录。 "He's been beautiful to watch," Woodson said. 武僧说：他的表现是如此赏心悦目。 But not everything was beautiful for the Knicks on Tuesday. 但对战巫师对尼克来说也不是一切都美好。 The team may have suffered a significant loss when Kenyon Martin went down with a left ankle sprain early in the fourth quarter. Martin's X-rays came back negative but his status for Thursday's game against Chicago -- and beyond -- is unknown. 球队可能遭受重大损失，因为K骂在第四节左脚踝扭伤，K骂的X光检查是阴性，但周四有 没有办法在对战公牛的比赛上场仍是未知数。 Martin's injury is just the latest in a long line of ailments to the Knicks' big men. Tyson Chandler has missed 11 of the last 15 games due to a neck ailment. Rasheed Wallace (broken foot), Kurt Thomas (stress fracture/right foot) and Amar'e Stoudemire (knee) are all expected to miss at least the rest of the regular season. K骂的受伤仅仅是一长串尼克禁区大个子伤病最新的一个。拳王因颈部伤病在最近的15场 比赛缺赛了11场。西蛙（脚骨折），KT（右脚应力性骨折反应）和阿骂（膝盖）都预计至 少缺席剩下的季赛。 But that hasn't slowed the Knicks, who validated themselves as title contenders in the eyes of some with Sunday's win in Oklahoma City. 但是，这并没有减缓尼克，打败雷霆在一些人眼中证明了尼克是总冠军的有力争夺者。 "Right now we're playing extremely well. Great basketball," Anthony said. "As a team everybody is doing their job, everybody has seemed to accept their role." Melo说：现在我们打的非常好，伟大的篮球，作为团队，每个人都在做自己的工作，每个 人都似乎接受了自己的角色。” Now that the Atlantic is settled, the next item on New York's agenda is a second-place finish in the Eastern Conference. They need just three more wins or three Pacers losses -- or a combination of wins or Indiana losses adding up to three -- to clinch second place. That would assure the Knicks home court through the first two rounds of the playoffs. 现在，大西洋组封王的目标已经达成，尼克的下一个目标是保持在东区第二种子的位置。 他们需要再胜三场以上或是溜马再输三场以上就会是东区第二种子。这将保证尼克在前两 轮的季後赛都有主场优势。 "It’s a great thing to achieve one of your main goals," Smith said. "Now we just got to get that gold ball." JR说：达到你的主要目标之一是一件很棒的事，我们现在需要去拿到冠军盃（ 冠军盃上那个金球) ........................................................... 我想翻的其实是这篇，这篇外电没有早点出来，让我多翻一篇 >_<# 不过Knicks众将士说大西洋组封王没有什麽好庆祝，那就这样…大家跟着低调再低调，等 拿到总冠军再来大肆庆祝 XD --

※ 发信站: 批踢踢实业坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 163.29.241.235 刚去看了一下出手王、打铁王宝座都很稳，得分王还有竞争对手(对手同时是罚球王)，所 以得分王还要努力争取，加油~^o^~ 谢谢，已修正 ................................................................ Mike Woodson said he isn’t worried that if some injured players return for the playoffs that it will mess up the rotation. “It won’t change anything,” he said. “We got a nice rotation, but you’re going to need big bodies. … We’re short-handed with bigs. Cope is not a 4 or a 5 but he’s held his own and I tip my hat to him. Novak’s not a 4 or 5. We just need a couple of these guys back to kind of shore up everything and then we’ll see where we go from there.” 伍僧说，他并不担心那些受伤的球员在季後赛回来可能会搞砸球队的轮替。它不会改变任 何事，我们现在有一个漂亮的轮替阵容，但你会需要大个子，我们的大个子缺兵少将。CC 可以打4或5号，而且他可以胜任，我要脱帽向他致敬。Novak无法打4或5号，所以我们需 要那些大个子在季後赛回来支援。 确实，不过我不是心志坚强到可以陪尼克度过那麽长久黑暗时期的老尼克迷，所以之前才 曾很好奇问一直跟着尼克的老尼克迷是什麽原因对尼克不离不弃 XD ............................................................ Woodson continues to say he's not considering resting Chandler or any of his players until the playoffs unless they tell him they need it. The Knicks haven't locked up the No. 2 seed yet. Woodson said he hopes Chandler will play Thursday in Chicago. 武僧说他不考虑让拳王或或任何球员休到季後赛，除非他们告诉他，他们需要休息。尼克 已经锁定了东区第2号种子的位置，武僧说，他希望拳王对公牛时可以上场。 (真的拚到季後赛不让主力休息养生吗？很多队都已经开始轮休养生， 我们只要再拿下三 场就是东区第二种子，就算五场全拿下也不会是第一种子，健康进季後赛比较重要吧@@) 顺便报告一下好消息：西蛙开始投篮，武僧希望他下星期可以开始跑步、阿骂已经开始在 反重力跑步机上开始跑步，KT也逐渐康复中，期待全员健康进季後赛。 ※ 编辑: chen06 来自: 36.238.34.225 (04/10 22:24)
