Christmas Countdown: Worst-case scenario http://tinyurl.com/6rvcyx3 觉得这篇写得不错,睡不着来翻一下,有错请指正 文章内容较偏负面,不喜请按上一页(不是我写得请手下留情XDD) If you're wearing rose-colored glasses, please remove them before reading any further. We won't be talking about what the Knicks have to do to make a run to the NBA title. Nor will we be discussing how much they can improve with Tyson Chandler in the paint. 如果你抱着期盼的心情在等待开季,那你应该要重新审视一番 在这篇文章中不会讨论拿总冠军或是拳王加入以後禁区会有哪些进步 Rather, we're examining the possibility that Amare Stoudemire can't keep up with the condensed 66-game schedule, and that the Knicks' show no improvement on the defensive end under assistant Mike Woodson. You know, Doomsday stuff. 事实上,我们要讨论的是如果Amare不能hold住今年只有66场的缩水球季(因为赛程紧凑) 还有如果尼克的防守在前老鹰教练的帮忙下还是没有进步 Why? Because there's a possibility any of the above could happen (and our editors asked us to). So let's take a look at what could (reasonably) go wrong for the Knicks this season, and the ramifications of each failure. 若是上述的事情发生的话，那会有如末日一般 接下来我们来探讨几个尼克今年有可能会遇到的难题 STOUDEMIRE CAN'T HANDLE THE SCHEDULE: Stoudemire played in all 18 of the Knicks' games in March last season. In six of those 18, he played more than 40 minutes. At the end of the month, the nine-year vet called that manic March "maybe the hardest month I've played in my career." The bad news for Stoudemire is this: The Knicks will play an average of 17 games per month this season. How will Stoudemire's balky back and surgically repaired knees respond to the tough schedule? The worst-case scenario here has Stoudemire struggling through nagging injuries and missing time. If so, that would certainly hinder the Knicks on offense. Amare在去年的三月共18场的比赛中全勤,其中有六场他打超过40分钟 在三月底的时候,Amare说他觉得整个三月超难熬 但是坏消息是,今年赛季尼克平均一个月要打17场比赛! Amare的背跟开过刀的膝盖能不能撑住是一个很大的隐忧 如果他撑不住的後果,那尼克的进攻火力就会缺了一角 CARMELO ANTHONY AS A FACILITATOR: The Knicks have penciled Toney Douglas in as their starting point guard. But Mike D'Antoni has said that Carmelo Anthony will get an opportunity to facilitate the offense, much like Larry Bird did in Boston. But what if Anthony facilitates the offense only for himself, freezing out other teammates? Anthony showed last season (and throughout his career) that he stops the ball on offense. So relying on him to keep teammates involved may be a dicey proposition -- particularly if Stoudemire doesn't get as many touches as he's accustomed to. Remember, Stoudemire's scoring averaged dipped about three points after Anthony came to New York last season. The worst-case scenario here has Anthony and Stoudemire sniping at one another over who's taking more shots -- and the Knicks suffering as a result. 尼克今年打算把TD推上先发,而教练D'Antoni说MELO在队上扮演进攻中枢的角色 就像大鸟当初在波士顿时一样,但如果MELO只供输给自己,冻结了其他队友呢? MELO在去年(甚至生涯)都显示出他就是一个finisher,球到他手上就是要打掉出手 所以若是依靠MELO来串联全队(指传球方面),可能会有些冒险 想想Amare的打球习惯吧,过去他的进攻多数时候都要控卫供输 所以最坏的情况就是,MELO跟Amare不管其他人开始埋头狂干的时候 尼克可能会因此受伤 DEFENSE DOESN'T IMPROVE: The Knicks' defense -- which was downright offensive at times last season -- should improve with Chandler's presence in the paint. Woodson was brought in as an assistant coach to help teach strengthen the Knicks on the defensive end. But what if he can't get through to any Knicks not named Chandler? What if Anthony continues to play defense on selective possessions? What if Stoudemire's reluctance to play hard-nosed 'D' when he's in foul trouble still burns the Knicks? The worst-case scenario here has the Knicks finishing with the seventh or eighth seed in the East and getting swept by Miami or Chicago in the first round. This would lead to D'Antoni not being asked back for next season. For some of you, of course, that wouldn't be a bad thing at all. 你我都知道,尼克的防守,跟进攻完全不在同一个层级上,但补了拳王之後应该要有所提升 为了加强防守,Woodson被聘来担任助理教练,但若是除了拳王,其他人的防守还是没变呢? 若是MELO还是选择性的防守(指LBJ?)若是Amare还是在犯规麻烦後鬼隐呢? 下场就是尼克可能会在东区排名第七或第八,然後被热火或公牛横扫(会吗?那可不一定) 若是如此,D'Antoni或许会被选择不续聘,当然,那对你我来说或许不是一件坏事 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 文章有些地方或许不是很中肯,(最後一句要大推...)但有些观点真得不错 像Amare的健康之类的,别在玩摸篮板拉伤背了...... 希望防守可以让我们眼睛一亮,毕竟进攻会失常,但防守不会 加油,Let's go ! Knicks !!! --
