Knicks Improve Chances in Playoff Race by Defeating the Bucks The fans at Madison Square Garden cheered the latest in a growing string of Knicks victories Monday night. But enthusiasm was dampened by the team’s long-range outlook, coming unraveled by the injury report. The Knicks, behind 28 points from Carmelo Anthony, his best output in two months, beat the Milwaukee Bucks, 89-80. It is difficult, however, to ascertain whether the Knicks still have the lineup to reach the playoffs. 尼克靠著MELO這兩個月來最棒的表現，拿下全隊最高28分與12籃板，擊敗了公鹿隊。 贏的非常艱辛，但是也幫助尼克仍有保持進入季後賽的順位。 Ninety minutes before the game, the Knicks announced that forward Amar’e Stoudemire had a bulging disk in his lower back. Surgery is not planned, but Stoudemire headed to Florida on Monday for a second look and is out indefinitely. 阿罵去Florida作第二次的檢查，目前是沒有打算作手術治療。 但是仍要等第二次檢查後，才有清楚的結論。 目前仍沒有確切消息。 “You don’t wish it on any player,” Coach Mike Woodson said. “Especially Amar’e, who’s a big part of what we do. All we can do is hope it’s not as serious as it may be, and wish for a speedy recovery.” WOODSON表示: 天佑阿罵。 Point guard Jeremy Lin also missed the game, his first absence since the birth of Linsanity 26 games ago. Lin said his knee had been sore the previous two games, but thought he would play on Monday night after taking part in the team’s shootaround earlier in the day. He and team trainers later opted for a cautious approach. LIN是至從Linsanity時期開始到現在第一次缺賽， LIN表示自己的膝蓋其實前兩場就有不適。 原本想在今天的比賽也上場，並參加賽前練習。。 但是他和隊上的訓練員仍向教練稟報狀況，讓教練審慎考慮出席與否。 “It feels way better than it did two days ago,” Lin said. “I want to make sure that when I come back, I’m 100 percent.” LIN:我現在已經感覺比前兩天好多了，但是我想等到100%傷癒再上場。 (GOOD BOY) The bigger mystery is whether Stoudemire will come back at all. The Knicks hope his injury is not a repeat of last season, when Stoudemire pulled a muscle in his back during warm-ups for Game 2 of their playoff series with the Boston Celtics, and the Knicks hobbled meekly out of the playoffs. It took Stoudemire about seven months to fully recover. 阿罵那非戰之罪的傷，冏。 The game with the Bucks had enough intrigue without the injuries. With about one-quarter of the shortened regular season to play, the Eastern Conference appears to be a nine-team game of musical chairs for eight seats in the playoffs. 這場球賽公鹿沒有傷兵之苦，但仍打出謎樣的表現。 But the Bucks received no scoring punch from their normally prolific guards, Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis. They combined for just 19 points and shot 8 of 36. Mike Dunleavy’s 26 points kept the game close until the final minutes. 落賽Jenning + 落賽Ellis = 19分(fg 8/36) 僅靠神奇地Dunleavy = 26分(fg 10/14, 3pt 5/8)的表現讓比數緊咬著尼克。 The victory was the seventh in eight games since Woodson took over from the departed Mike D’Antoni. It moved the Knicks, with 16 games to play, two and a half games ahead of the Bucks for the final slot. Woonson領軍下，八場球賽中的第七場勝利，尼克還有16場球賽要打。 目前以2.5場的勝差領先公鹿隊，暫時保住季後賽門票。 The cushion may come in handy. Stoudemire left Saturday’s game against Toronto in the third quarter with a sore back, and played down the injury afterward. But he flew to Miami on Monday to meet with one of his doctors who treated him last summer and fall. Baron Davis, who had 13 points and 7 assists — and 9 turnovers — in replacing Lin, missed the first 32 games of the season with a herniated disk in his back. 本季BD因背傷休息了32場球賽。 今天是傷癒復出後，BD的第一場先發。 13分，7次助攻，9次失誤。 Bulging disks are less severe, and most do not require surgery, according to Dr. Andrew Hecht, the co-chief of spinal surgery at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Treatment options can include anti-inflammatories, physical therapy and, in some cases, a spinal injection. Recovery can take days, weeks or months, Hecht said. 討論阿罵的傷勢，一般來說不需要手術治療。(醫學專業術語我不會翻譯..) 但是復原期有可能是好幾天，好幾個禮拜，甚至好幾個月?!(冏) Of Stoudemire, Lin said: “He’s one of the leaders on this team. He’s one of the voices on this team. We definitely need him back as soon as we can get him.” LIN表示: 阿罵，我們需要你。 T.T Without Stoudemire and Lin, major sources of the Knicks’ surge the past two months, the Knicks relied on Anthony, who had his highest offensive output since scoring 35 in a loss to the Bucks on Jan. 20. Anthony’s isolation game never meshed with D’Antoni’s ball-movement philosophy, and the personality clash contributed to D’Antoni’s resignation. But Anthony surprisingly struggled during the first seven games of Woodson’s tenure, too. He never contributed more than 17 points, far from his 24.5-points-per-game career average, and shot below 40 percent from the field. But he scored on the first possession Monday, a short turnaround jumper off a pass from Davis. He quickly added a 15-foot jumper, then another. By the end of the quarter, he had taken 9 shots and scored 10 points. Maybe, with Lin and Stoudemire out, he was more comfortable reprising his role as the center of attention. 沒有了Amare跟Lin在場上的尼克只能依靠上次對上公鹿得到35分仍輸球的MELO。 MELO跟D'Antoni的故事，bala bala... MELO跟Woodson的故事，bala bala... 這場比賽第四節時，MELO賣命演出9次出手，拿下10分。 或許沒有Amare跟Lin在場上的MELO更顯得自在，並享受著隊上核心的關注。(酸..) It has been a rough 12 months for Stoudemire. The pulled back muscle last April kept him off the court for months, and he compensated by adding bulk to his frame. But the heft made him heavy-footed and slow, and for the time in six years, Stoudemire was not an All-Star. 酸阿罵受傷，酸阿罵傷後復出變胖變慢，而且近六年來阿罵並不是個All-Star(酸超大) Only recently, as he shed 10 pounds, did he regain the spring that has made him one of the N.B.A.’s most explosive players for years. 但是最近甩掉10磅贅肉，又讓他變成NBA最有爆發力的年度球員。(酸玩給糖吃) Things were far worse off the court. Stoudemire’s older brother, Hazell, was killed in a car accident in early February. Now Stoudemire is looking for answers about his ailing back. And in this, already one of the more memorable seasons in team history, the Knicks may be left wondering about the fate of their push toward the playoffs. 尼克這謎樣又百轉千迴的賽季。 尼克人生持續上演!
