Spike Lee以及其他名人将会挤满球场。ESPN会在那里负责转播工作。 After seven long years, Madison Square Garden is finally open again for postseason basketball business. 七年过去了，麦迪逊广场花园终於又再度为季後赛而运作了。 And what a perfect time and place it would be for Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire to deliver in tandem after both have been dominant individually so far in the playoffs. 这将是多完美的时间地点，让目前前两战分别主宰过战场的甜瓜和阿骂， 能合为一辆双人战车。 Or maybe it's the ideal setting for the Boston Celtics to torment the Knicks again. 或者对赛队来说这又是一次能折磨尼克的理想场合。 The Celtics bring a 2-0 lead into Game 3 of the Eastern Conference first-round series on Friday, with the Knicks knowing they were close to winning both games but also getting close to going home for the summer. 赛队以２-０的姿态来到第三战，尼克知道前两场都很接近胜利，但却也 明白离放暑假也不算远。 "We're definitely not thinking about that," Anthony said Thursday after practice. "Game 3 tomorrow here on our home court, it's a must-win for us. ... This is the hardest game by far that we've played this season." 甜瓜在练球後说：「我们绝对不想那些事情。明天主场的第三战，对我们 来说是非胜不可的，这是本季我们所面临过的最艰难的比赛」。 The Knicks aren't sure who will be there to help Anthony. Stoudemire missed practice Thursday but is expected to play after he was sidelined the second half of the Celtics' 96-93 victory in Game 2 on Tuesday with back spasms. 尼克不确定谁能上场帮助甜瓜。阿骂缺席了练球，但预料将能在第二战下 半场因背部痉挛下场後再度出战。 Chauncey Billups hopes to join him, but he is questionable after straining his left knee on a drive to the basket late in the opener and sitting out Game 2. 枪西希望他能加入出战的行列，但他在开幕战一次切入时扭伤了左脚踝， 状况不明。 The Knicks sent much of their core to Denver in the February deal that brought Anthony and Billups from the Nuggets, believing together with Stoudemire that duo would make the Knicks a solid first-round threat. 尼克在二月时送出了大部分的核心球员换来了甜瓜和枪西，相信ＡＡ双核 心能让尼克成为第一轮强大的威胁。 Instead, injuries forced them to play much of Game 2 with backups surrounding Anthony, who nearly carried them with 42 points and 17 rebounds. 却相反的是，伤病迫使尼克在第二战放上一堆替补辅佐攻下42分17篮板的 甜瓜。 "It's disappointing that it's not there, but at the same time, the way we played the second half in the second game without the two, we're confident we can still get the job done," Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said. 尼克教练冷笑话说：「沮丧，但是我们第二战下半场所打的方式，我们有 自信仍然能把工作干好」。 They key for the Knicks is what Anthony and Stoudemire can do together. 尼克的关键在於甜瓜跟阿骂合在一起会变成什麽。 Stoudemire was a force in Game 1, finishing with 28 points and 11 rebounds. But Anthony picked up two fouls in the opening two minutes, sat the rest of the first quarter and never got on track, limited to 15 points and finishing a 1-for-11 second half by missing a long 3-pointer that ended an 87-85 loss. 阿骂第一战很威，攻下28分11篮板。但甜瓜第一节快速领到两犯，在剩下 的第一节都只能坐板凳，并再也没回到节奏中。仅得15分并以没进最後一 球三分长射结束下半场投１１中１的成绩。 Anthony followed with his spectacular Game 2, but Stoudemire watched most of it after hurting his back during warmups. Anthony is unlikely to match his numbers if Stoudemire plays, but the Knicks realize their best chance to beat a deeper Boston team is by having their two superstars play well at the same time. 接着换甜瓜在第二战很威，但阿骂只能因在热身时伤了背部而看着这一切 发生。如果阿骂有上场，甜瓜不太可能能拿下这等成绩，但尼克理解到， 要击败实力坚强的赛队的最好机会，是ＡＡ核心同时发挥良好。 "Obviously some of his production will go down only because some of it's going to Amare. But they should be able to coexist and be good," D'Antoni said. 冷笑话说：「他的数据显然会降低因为分到阿骂那边去，但两位仁兄应该 要能共存共荣」。 The game Friday is the first at Madison Square Garden in the postseason since April 25, 2004, and comes 10 years to the day since the Knicks' last playoff victory there, a 92-85 win over Toronto in the opener of a first-round loss. The reputation of the "world's most famous arena" has survived even while the Knicks' has been badly weakened in the last decade. 第三战将是尼克主场七年来首次又打季後赛，而上一次在主场季後赛赢球 是十年前了，以92-82在第一轮被淘汰的系列战的第一场战胜暴龙。这世界 上最有名的球场，即使在过去十年的惨澹中，依旧存活了下来。 "In a day and age where so many different cities have remodeled, renovated or built new structures, Madison Square Garden is probably one of the most unique because it still stands and it's still relevant," said Celtics guard Ray Allen, who hit a famed jumper there for Connecticut to win the 1996 Big East tournament. 在这里替UConn投进着名的一球赢得1996Big East锦标赛的Ray Allen说： 「在这麽长的时间中，很多城市都重塑、改修或建造了新的建筑，麦迪逊 花园广场应该是最独特的，因为它仍站在这并依旧重要」。 More recently, it's been a good place for his Boston teammates to show off. 时间再带近一点，这里是Allen的赛队队友炫耀的好所在。 Paul Pierce knocked down the tiebreaking shot with 0.4 seconds left in the Celtics' 118-116 victory back in December, two months after hitting a tiebreaking shot here in a preseason game with 8 seconds to go. Kevin Garnett beat the overtime buzzer with a jumper to give Boston a 107-105 victory on Nov. 22, 2009. Pierce在12月时投进0.4秒的绝杀球。在这两个月前热身赛时他也在这里 剩8秒时投进致胜球。Garnett2009年11月22日也在这里延长赛中投进绝杀。 The stakes are much higher now, and the Celtics' execution has been equally as sharp, with decisive baskets by Allen and Garnett in the closing seconds of the first two games after the Knicks had outplayed the defending East champs for large parts of both. 现在季後赛的激烈程度是高的多了，而赛队的执行力却还是依旧锐利，尽 管尼克前两战中领先了大多数时刻，Allen和Garnett在前两战中结束时刻 时各自关键的进球。 So the Knicks are getting tired of watching the Celtics torture them with their late-game execution. 所以尼克对於看着赛队用比赛末段的执行力来折磨他们厌倦了。 "I think it was more like a mental exhaustion, just knowing how hard we played, how close we were in both of those games for us to not win any of those games," Anthony said. 甜瓜说：「我认为想到我们打得多艰辛，以及这两战胜利都是多麽的接近 却都没能拿下，比较像是精神上的枯竭」。 New York hosts Game 4 on Sunday, when it will either try to tie the series or save its season. The Knicks believe they will get at least one of them, sounding far more satisfied than Celtics coach Doc Rivers, who said his team needs to play better. 尼克会在星期天(美)举行第四战，到时要不就是试着扳平比数，要不就是 试着留住最後的一丝生机。尼克相信他们至少能在主场两战中拿下一胜， 听起来比赛队教练Rivers有自信得多，他说赛队要打得更好才行。 "Our confidence is they didn't play well because we didn't let them play well," D'Antoni said. 冷笑话说：「我们的自信是，他们打得不好是因为我们让他们打得不好」。 =============================== 本周都在期中考，实在抽不出时间来关注比赛， 终於到周末，希望能看到一场精采的不只是好球， 要精采的胜利啊！ -- ▕ ▏▏▍▍▍▏▍▏▕▕ ▏▍▏▏▍▍▏▍▏▏▏▍▏▏▍▍▕ ▏▏▌▏▌▕ ▏▏▍ ▕ ▏▏▍▍▍▏▍▏▕▕ ▏▍▏▏▍▍▏▍▏▏▏▍▏▏▍▍▕ ▏▏▌▏▌▕ ▏▏▍ ▕ ▏▏▍▍▍▏▍▏▕▕ ▏▍▏▏▍▍▏▍▏▏▏▍▏▏▍▍▕ ▏▏▌▏▌▕ ▏▏▍ ▕ ▏▏▍▍▍▏▍▏▕▕ ▏▍▏▏▍▍▏▍▏▏▏▍▏▏▍▍▕ ▏▏▌▏▌▕ ▏▏▍ ▕ ▏▏▍▍▍▏▍▏▕▕ ▏▍▏▏▍▍▏▍▏▏▏▍▏▏▍▍▕ ▏▏▌▏▌▕ ▏▏▍ ▕ ▏１ ９ ８ ９ ０ １ １ ３ ▏１ ４ ０ ． １ １ ９ ＵＮＧＯＬＩＡＮＴ ▏▍ --
