原文:http://0rz.tw/363os Eddy Curry has made the slow walk back to the bench several times over the last three games. It's an exercise that does not sit well with the Knicks' center. 咖哩过去三场好像都在温板凳，他不太习惯。 The numbers reflect the frustration Curry is feeling. He's totaled just 19 points and 10 rebounds against Utah, Boston and Milwaukee. And none of those teams has an equal and opposite force. 19分10篮板，这三场的成绩单不太及格。 He's feeling lost in the crowd under the rim. 咖哩迷惑了。 "I get touches, but it seems like there's already somebody around me when I get the ball," Curry said. "I'm the kind of player who relies on teammates to get me the ball, and once I get the ball I need a little bit of room to work. Right now, I don't have any room. There's always an extra defender around me and I'm just trying to play without turning the ball over, trying to play smart and not force anything." 每当我持球的时候，包夹就上来了。我需要队友的传导和空间做动作，现在也许需要改 变打法。 Against the Bucks, he couldn't move past Andrew Bogut, which resulted in a quick exit in the second half. 对上雄鹿，咖哩与澳洲状元的对决中居下风，下半场几乎都在温板凳。 Knicks coach Isiah Thomas immediately changes the subject to defense when asked to explain the decision to send out David Lee. 老汤对此做出解释。 "I think Eddy's like a lot of good offensive players: they tend to judge their game by how many points they're scoring," Thomas said. "And the next step for Eddy is being able to affect the game without having to score 20 points. Once we can get him thinking that way, then his 20 points is a bonus as opposed to being a need." 咖哩需要改变，不只是专注於进攻。如何对球队有所贡献进而赢球是他的课题，20分 是需要而非必要。 Even though Curry does not match up very well with Phoenix, there are no lineup changes planned for this evening when Amare Stoudemire pays a visit to Madison Square Garden. 咖哩对上太阳一向打得不太妙，明天主场的比赛，尼克没有任何改变先发的计画。 Curry got 17 points and eight rebounds in a 113-102 loss to the Suns earlier this month. 17分8篮板，上次的成绩单。 Despite the devastating loss in Boston on Thursday, everyone in the Knicks' organization is bragging about the forward momentum of three wins in four games. They're calling it a good week. 忘掉波士顿大屠杀，尼克延续过去四战三胜的气势。 There is still not a lot of confidence outside the locker room because there have been some questionable performances that have led to constant speculation about Thomas' future. 老汤的去留仍是一个问号。 "I really thought I had seen everything in this league from my Indiana days and everything, but this is a whole other monster and we kind of brought that on ourselves," said Fred Jones, who's defensive ability might come in handy against Phoenix. "If we turn this around and start playing good basketball, we know everything will go in our favor." F.琼斯:“过去在溜马的日子，什麽大风大浪没见过?!把球打好最重要啦!!” Stephon Marbury did not play in the first meeting against his former team. He left town in a hurry after learning of a pending demotion. Marbury suffered a shoulder injury on Friday, but expects to play tonight. 小马上次对上太阳的比赛没出赛。他肩膀有伤，但还是有可能上场。 原文:http://0rz.tw/c33nk Even Eddy Curry could not resist poking fun at himself during the last three games. “I’ve been on vacation,” Curry told reporters after practice Saturday. 对於过去三场的表现，咖哩只能苦笑。“就像放假一样。” Curry, the Knicks’ starting center, was not on a remote beach Thursday, but it seemed that way. He scored 4 points in the Knicks’ 45-point loss to the Boston Celtics, missing 9 of 11 shots. On Friday, Curry was a spectator late in the fourth quarter as the Knicks came back to beat the Milwaukee Bucks. 对上波士顿，4分，11投2中；逆转公鹿的比赛中，咖哩第四节作壁上观。 Curry’s recent decline is the latest pothole in what has been a difficult season for the team. But Coach Isiah Thomas said he saw no reason to change Curry’s role in the rotation, perhaps because the Knicks have won three of their last four games. 咖哩的失常对尼克无疑是个打击。老汤说不会更动先发，也许是因为赢了过去4场比赛 中的3场。 “He draws so much attention down low,” Thomas said of Curry. “He’s getting double-teamed and triple-teamed, which consequently opens up a lot of things for everyone else. So good things are happening for other people.” 他吸引了对手的注意力，咖哩遭到包夹或是三个人的看管。为其他人制造了机会，而他 们也能把握，产生好结果。 Thomas also said that Curry had been playing well on defense; he has four blocks in the last three games. But Curry’s struggles offensively are nearly impossible to overlook. In the past three games, beginning with Monday’s victory against the Utah Jazz, he had a combined 19 points and 10 rebounds. Last season, Curry averaged 19.5 points and 7 rebounds a game. 咖哩在防守方面转性(?!)，过去三场比赛送出四锅，但进攻方面惨不忍睹。三场合计19 分10篮板。上个赛季，场均19.5分7篮板。 If the problems persist when the Knicks (5-10) play host to the speedy Phoenix Suns (12-4) on Sunday night, Thomas might give Curry a quick hook. That would most likely create an opportunity for David Lee, whose playing time has been limited this season. Unlike Curry and Zach Randolph, Lee does not need to take a lot of shots to be effective. 如果问题继续存在的话，对上太阳比赛，大卫‧李将有较多的上场机会。本季他的上场 时间被压缩。不像禁区双宝，他在防守上是比较有贡献的，而不需专注在进攻上。 Curry and Randolph rarely seem to play well at the same time. But Curry also saw no reason to tinker with the lineup. 禁区双宝很少同时发威。不过咖哩也不是一无是处。 “I think it can work,” Curry said of the low-post tandem he forms with Randolph. “We’ve won games with both of us on the court, so it’s obvious that it can work. But it’s going to take some patience. It’s going to take some hard work.” 我们二宝低位单打的功夫还是挺有一套，也能发挥赢球效用，只是需要点时间。这有点 难度。 A few weeks ago, Thomas threatened to bench several players, Curry included. Curry, who scored at least 12 points in each of the Knicks’ first 12 games, said Saturday that he did not feel pressured by the threat. He said he would prefer to play through his dry spells. 几个礼拜前，老汤将几名球员放在板凳上，咖哩是其中一个。本季头12场比赛，咖哩平 均拿下12分。咖哩也说他之前打得比较好。 “Especially when I’m not playing well, I definitely hate coming out of the game,” said Curry, who played only 4 minutes 37 seconds in the fourth quarter of Friday’s 91-88 victory against Milwaukee. “I always feel like when I’m out there, it’s an opportunity for me to try and turn things around.” E.咖哩:“当我表现得不好，我特别讨厌坐在板凳上。”对上公鹿的比赛，第四节只上 场4分37秒，我好像不存在一样。对我来说，这也许是另一个机会。 Point guard Stephon Marbury was likewise not on the court for the comeback. He missed the entire fourth quarter with an injured right shoulder. Marbury said Saturday that he felt fine and had been cleared by the Knicks’ medical staff to play against the Suns. He missed the Knicks’ first game against Phoenix, nearly three weeks ago, when he briefly left the team. 小马因为肩伤错失了第四节，不过对上太阳的比赛，他还是有可能会上场。他也缺席了上 次对上太阳的客场作战。 Curry said the Knicks never imagined that November would present so many obstacles. But brighter days — in theory, at least — appear to be on the horizon. 对尼克来说，11月的确不好过。不过现在好像又出现了一道曙光。 The Knicks played 7 of 15 games on the road in November, but they play 5 of 14 games on the road in December. They played five of the league’s top six teams — Boston, Orlando, Phoenix, Utah and Detroit — in November, going 1-4. Only five of their opponents in December currently have winning records. 11月有7场客场比赛，到了12月，只有5场。客场七战中，对上波士顿、奥兰多、凤凰城 、犹他、底特律，战绩是难看的1胜4负。12月的比赛中，只有5个对手本季有对尼克赢球 的纪录。 “Thank God,” Thomas said, laughing, about this month’s schedule. 这个月的赛程排得不错。 --
