http://tinyurl.com/4zxpun8 BY CHRIS ALVINO ON MAR 19, 2011, 8:45 PM 重要的不是天份是实践！ I have been on a recent hiatus from contributing to this site over the last couple of weeks. During that span, there has been plenty going on, plenty of talk, plenty of good, and surely plenty of bad regarding the Knicks. One issue that I have been requested to chat about was the announced ticket price spike. Perhaps I will speak more on that in the future, but for now, I will say this. I am not a Knicks’ season ticket holder. I do not make it to many games during the year as my schedule just does not permit for it. For those of you that will experience the ticket price spike and have to choose whether or not to pay this added premium, I do empathize. Some of the projected increases for certain seats is unbelievable and will probably price some long time customers out of the building. However, that is a choice that people have the ability to make for themselves. We live in a society where fair market value for a product or a service is what a customer is willing to pay for it. I was certainly no economics major in college, but I do understand that there is a limited supply of seats that James Dolan has to offer to Rangers and Knicks home games. If the demand for those seats outpaces that limited supply, even at escalated prices, then I cannot sit here and blame Dolan for this move. The only way to prevent a spike is to call Dolan’s bluff. Something tells me however that the tickets will be sold in spite of this price spike. Just a hunch I guess. 我好几周没有贡献这个网站了。在这段期间，有很多事情发生，有很多讨论，有好的，当 然也有坏的。其中一个我被请求谈谈的话题是有关季票涨价的事。也许我以後可以对这话 题讲得更多一点，但是现在，我只能说，我没有尼克季票啦！我没有把很多次去看尼克比 赛排入我的行程表，就单纯的因为没办法。对於得要经历季票涨价的那些人，我深感同情 。一些预定增加的票价说是要为了增加球馆座位，实在是难以置信，并且只会让一些老顾 客因价钱而被逐出场馆。无论如何，这是个人们可以替自己做决定的选择。我们生活在一 个采自由市场价值的社会，人们可以决定要不要花钱买这个产品或服务。我在大学是没有 主修经济学啦，但我能理解Dolan要供给NBA尼克和NHL游骑兵的座位是有限的，如果对於这 些座位的需求增长增加了，那涨价来降低入场人数也无可厚非，我无法责怪Dolan这个动作 。唯一能阻止涨价的方法大概是说Dolan在唬烂，我认为就算票涨成这样还是会卖得一乾二 净，就只是直觉。 Now that I got that out of my system, I have to touch on what the average fan should care much, much more about – the on-court play of this current Knicks bunch. The team has not only been a .500 ball club since the Carmelo Anthony trade was made, but this team has looked every bit the part of a true .500 ball club. Inconsistency, discontinuity and confusion have developed obstacles on this team’s road to success. One game, the team can hit 20 30 pointers and win in impressive and imposing fashion. The next? The next game they lose to the Pistons. Enough said. 现在，我把这件事赶出我的脑袋，我们来谈论一般球迷更更更应该关注的：现在尼克队的 场上表现。这支球队在甜瓜加入後，就不应该再只是个五成胜率的球队，但他们现在完完 全全符合所有一只只有五成胜率的球队的样子：不协调、不持久以及混乱不清已经在他们 通往成功的路上产生许多阻碍。他们可以一场大胜个二三十分，但下一场？下一场他们输 给了活塞，不用多说了吧。 Before I get much further, my overarching feeling about this team is that they will eventually mesh. They will eventually become a cohesive unit. Lastly and most importantly, they will eventually win. No empire was ever built overnight, and clearly this Melo – Amare tandem has not yielded the expected results – yet. Sometimes good things take time to develop, and the team is going through some early growing pains right now. 在我更进一步之前，我对於这支球队内心的感觉还是他们终究能结合在一起，他们会成为 一个有凝聚力的团队，而且最重要的是，他们终将胜利。罗马不是一天造成的，而显然这 辆甜瓜-阿骂牌双轮马车还没产出被预期的效能。好东西得要花时间去等待，这支队伍现 在正在经历成长的阵痛期。 The results have not been all bad since the trade. For every fan that will complains about losing to the Cavs and Pacers both twice and the Pistons last night, do not forget about some of the wins that this new look Knicks squad has had, including blowing out playoff caliber teams in the Grizzlies, Hawks, Jazz, Hornets as well as beating the Heat in Miami. Do those games mean anything? To steal a thought from the immortal Mike Francesa, you cannot take this team’s temperature after every single game. In New York and with new aged media, it is tough for fans not to take this team’s pulse every single day, but at the same time it is unfair to do that. When the smoke clears, expect this team to make the playoffs as either the 5th, 6th or 7th seed. If that does not happen, then this conversation can take a completely different tone. 交易以来的结果并不是全都是坏的。那些抱怨尼克竟然各输给了骑士和溜马两次以及昨晚 对活塞败阵的球迷们，可别忘了尼克取得的几场胜利，其中包括击败那些具有季後赛水准 的灰熊、老鹰、爵士、黄蜂以及在迈阿密击败热火。这些比赛有什麽意涵吗？盗用一下伟 哉Mike Francesa(脱口秀主持人)的说法：你不能每场每场比赛都那麽计较。在纽约以及各 个新的旧的媒体中，球迷很难不每天都对尼克队把脉问病一番，但这麽做同时也是不公平 的。等到迷雾散去，期待这支球队会进入季後赛吧，不管是第五第六还第七种子。如果没 进的话，哼哼，到时候文章就不是现在这种语气了。 But instead of analyzing this team’s performance from a pure win-loss perspective, I would like to point out the overarching problems that I see, and have seen, with this team during the 2010-2011 campaign. I have stated constantly on this site that super stars win in this league. Most everyone can agree that this is a super star driven league and a super star driven sport. Right now, the Knicks have two such caliber players in Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire. While the team cannot win solely because of them, they have a good enough supporting cast around them to make some serious noise. You see, to me, the problem is not the talent on this team. The current roster has plenty of that. Rather the bigger issue with this team is the consistency of this team’s drive. The consistency of this team’ s heart. The consistency of this team’s will to win. Those things have to stem from the team’s two superstars, or else the team simply will not succeed. In watching some of this team’s recent losses, I look no further than the team’s than the super stars. 取代单纯用胜负观点来分析这支球队的表现，我想指出我在本季尼克队的征战中所看到的 也是曾经看过的最重大的问题。我在本站不断地提到过：超级巨星获胜，这就是NBA。大多 数人都能同意这是一个由巨星支配的联盟，也是一项由巨星支配的运动。现在，尼克拥有 甜瓜和阿骂两位锋线，然而球队不是单靠他们取胜，他们还有一群好绿叶围绕他们并制造 出一些话题。你看，对我而言，问题不在於这支球队的天份，现在的球员名单天分已经快 满出来了，这支球队更重要的问题是球队实践的持续性，球队的心的持续性以及对於获胜 的意志的持续性。这些东西要由两位巨星来发起，否则他们就无法取胜。在最近几场输球 里，我观看的重点都放在两位球星的身上。 First, I will look at Amare Stoudemire. As great as he has been this season, no one can deny that he has not been able to stop opposing forwards this season. Blake Griffin, Elton Brand, JJ Hickson, Tyler Hansbrough, Kevin Love, just to name a few have all torched the Knicks this season. I know it would help if Amare had a legit center to play alongside him, but at some point, Amare has to step his game up and put his foot down against these opposing power forwards. It is almost becoming a common theme to watch Amare get outrebounded and bullied around in the paint against some of these inferior players. His toughness, his grit and his defensive intensity have to improve. Even last night I saw Ben Wallace – that is right, Ben Wallace – beat Amare baseline for two lay-ups. Ben Wallace. As if that was not bad enough, I saw Chris Wilcox make Amare look like a point guard in the paint last night. In this league, for big men to be truly successful on both ends of the floor, they have to be tough. In the land of the giants, play hard or get played. As noted on this site, Amare has publicly stated that the team should go back to playing speedball. First, how about grabbing a few rebounds and throwing some elbows in the paint? Then you can worry about this team’s offensive game plan. 首先，我们来看阿骂。本季杰出的表现，谁都不能否认敌队的前锋无法阻止他。给力芬、 名牌、JJ Hickson、Tyler Hansbrough还有爱，都在他面前看来微不足道。我知道如果有 个正统中锋在他旁边会有帮助啦，但同样的，阿骂也必须要挺身而出对抗这些大前锋啊！ 几乎每场比赛都得看到阿骂在禁区里被这些弱弱的(按：有点引战...)球员霸凌。他必须加 强他的硬度、他的胆量还有他的防守强度。光是昨晚，我就看到大班－没错，就是大班－ 在底线吃了阿骂两次上篮。如果大班还不够糟，我看到Chris Wilcox让阿骂在禁区里看起 来像个小後卫。在这个联盟里，要成为真正成功的长人必须在攻守两端都够硬。在禁区这 块巨人之土上，不是你硬起来打别人，就是被别人打。如同本站写到的阿骂公开的陈述球 队应该回到过去的快速球风。先抓几个篮板并且在禁区里赏几个拐子之後，再来担心球队 的进攻体系，你觉得怎麽样？ Now, let’s talk about Carmelo Anthony. Prior to the big deal, a friend of mine who was against dealing away our former young core said to me that he never liked Melo’s body language out on the court. He did not deny his talent or his physical abilities, but he did question his drive. Since his arrival, I have been able to somewhat understand his view. Last night in the final minute of the game, his poor body language was on full display and it cost the team a chance to tie the game. After missing a lay-up with about thirty seconds left, Carmelo pouted about the no-call (as he always does) before heading back on defense only to stand around with his hands on his hips. While watching, I said to my dad that Carmelo looked like he was in absolutely no position to make a defensive play. The action was on the other side of the court, but had the ball shifted to his side, Melo would not have been able to react to it. Within seconds, a shot went up and Melo half-heartedly went for the rebound, only to have it stripped away from him. With that, the Knicks’ chance came to end. The game was over. It was a ball that Melo should have had, but he was not in position to make the play. I was left only to question his intensity after that. After missing the lay-up, foul or not, I would expect a true star to have one thing and one thing only on his mind, I am going to get that ball back and I am going to make the next shot. Well, Carmelo had a chance to get the ball back. And he blew it! Earlier in the week, Carmelo went on public record as to question the coaching staff’s defensive schemes. He pleaded for the team to simplify its defensive strategy. To an extent, he can be right. However, there has never been a defensive scheme in the history of basketball that did not require some effort. No defensive strategy, whether it be complicated or simple, can work unless the players actually work hard on the defensive end. As we all well know, the core underlying point to any defensive strategy is to keep the opponent from scoring. Carmelo, if it is a simple defensive strategy that you want, then just keep that core underlying point in your head. Do not get beat off the dribble. Do not let the opposition get easy buckets. Get into the face of the opposing offensive player. Do not let your man score. How is that for simple? 好，现在换干谯甜瓜(无误)。回到之前的大交易，我有一个反对把之前的年轻核心交易出 去的朋友说，他从来都不喜欢甜瓜在场上的肢体语言。他不否认他的天分和体能条件，但 他质疑他的实践。自从甜瓜来了以後，我似乎明白我朋友在说甚麽了。在昨晚比赛的最後 时刻，他糟糕的肢体语言完全展露出来且使球队丧失追平的机会。在上篮没得手之後还剩 三十几秒时，在回去防守之前，甜瓜只是站着用双手插腰，噘起嘴来不满於没有哨音(就像 他一如往常的作为)。看到这一幕，我跟我爸说，他看起来好像完全不用防守的样子。场上 动作在另一边发生，球轮转到甜瓜该负责的区域，他完全无法反应，几秒之内，球投出， 甜瓜要跑不跑的走回来想抢篮板，但却只有进网。就这样，尼克的机会没了，比赛结束。 这是一个甜瓜该拿下的球，但他不在位置上去做到。我只有一个疑问，在上篮没进之後， 不管有没有犯规，我所期待的真正的球星在心中只有一个念头：我要拿回这球，我要再投 一次。嗯...甜瓜有机会拿回球的，但他搞砸了！几周之前，甜瓜公开质疑教练团的防守方 针，他要求简化球队的防守策略。某种程度来说，他可能是对的，但无论如何，世界上没 有任何一种防守方法是不需要投入一些努力的。没有任何一种防守策略能运作，不管是复 杂的还简单的，除非球员真的认真在防守端努力。大家都知道，所有防守策略为的就是不 让对手得分。甜瓜，如果你想要的是简单的防守策略，那请把这一点装进你的脑袋里。不 要被运球晃过，不要让对手简单得分，把你的脸放在对手面前，不要让你守的人得分。这 样够简单了没？ All in all, I do expect this team to mesh and I am not getting too caught up in this team’s record heading into the playoffs because once the playoffs start, records will not matter. Instead, I do get caught up with the overall feel of this team’s play. From where I am sitting, this team has to have a stronger will to win than it has shown of late. Talent alone will not win a championship. The drive, or should I say a consistent drive, to do so has to be there as well. If the lack of such a drive continues to be an underlying problem for this team, then therein lines the problem. It has to start with team’s two studs. 最後最後最後，我真的预期这支球队能整合在一起，我也不会太在意球队进入季後赛的战 绩，因为一旦进入季後赛，纪录就不重要了。相反的，我关注的是这整支球队打起来的感 觉。这支球队必须有比最近所表现的更强大的求胜意志。只有天份不能赢总冠军。实践， 或者该说是持续的实践也是必须的。如果目前这种实践力的缺乏依旧存在於这支球队，在 之中就有着问题，要由这两位学生来解决。 ============================================================================== 翻完了感觉超过瘾... 痛快淋漓... -- 有耻且格 --
