It seemed — and sounded — like we had officially rebranded ourselves a two-team town, that the Nets and Knicks were on even footing, co-stars in the refurbished City Game. 15天. 这是自从上次篮网与尼克碰头之後的天数.15天前,我们好似看了场真正的篮 球革命.我们重新包装自己,打造成两虎相栖的城市.尼克与篮网,有如两大明星,各执一方 得出演这改版的城市之争游戏. Fifteen days later, we see a different landscape. We see the Knicks, suddenly reformulated as NBA darlings, safely ensconced in first place, six wins in the seven games since their last trip to Brooklyn. We see the Nets, hobbled (though not as hobbled as the Knicks), enter the night having lost four straight. 15天之後,我们看到了不同的局势.一夕之间,尼克成了NBA宠儿,安全的占据第一名,自 上次到布鲁克林作客後,在七场比赛中取得了六次胜利.而篮网则是步履蹒跚(当然跟尼克的 那些老人比,还不至於到步履蹒跚这情况)连续输了4场比赛,再次的跟我们相见. Suddenly, Part Two of this four-chapter passion play feels less a battle for the hearts and minds of the city’s basketball fans and far more an opportunity for both teams to make important statements: For the Nets, to calm worry that their recent dreadful play is anything but a speed-bump aberration, that they’ll be fine, no hassle, no worry. And for the Knicks, a simple two-part message: 突然的,对这个城市的球迷而言,第二回合不像是两队互爆的战争,而是给他们机会做 出宣言: 篮网:大家不要担心,最近惨澹的成绩只是不小心撞到电线杆的凸槌,请大家安心. 尼克:我们只有简单的两点要说. This is our division. 这个分组是我们的 This is our town. 这个城市是我们的. Until further notice. No matter what Jay-Z might say. 以上. 管嘻哈歌手(篮网金主)Jay-Z怎麽说. When last we saw these warring basketball factions on the same floor the Nets were crowing about an overtime victory and their ascendant placement atop the Atlantic Division and the Knicks were answering questions about whether their fast start was a past-tense phenomenon, an quirk of timing and circumstance. 当我们上次看到这两派篮球人马在同个木板地板厮杀的时候,篮网正因为延长赛的胜 利与大西洋分区排名上升到第一而狂喜不已.尼克呢,则需要为之前迅速取得的好成绩是 否只是天时地利人和这类问题作辩护. That night 15 days ago and that outcome — an occasionally ugly but often entertaining 96-89 overtime win for the Nets — seemed to strengthen the narrative that had arisen around this nascent inter-borough rivalry: The Nets had arrived, they had fired a Fort Sumter-level warning shot across the Manhattan Bridge. 15天前的晚上,那偶尔丑陋但很有娱乐性的96-89篮网延长赛胜利似乎加深了人们对 这新产生的小镇之争的叙述:篮网降临了.它们朝着曼哈顿桥射出了足以造成美俄冷战的炮 响来表示他们的来临. The two teams left Barclays Center that night tied for first place and the Nets kept blazing two nights later, walking into Boston and slapping around the Celtics. It’s hard to say how these things work in the minds of voters, but it wasn’t long after that Nets coach Avery Johnson was named Eastern Conference coach of the month, edging out Knicks coach Mike Woodson, both teams sitting at 11-4 as November bled into December. 在两队离开Barclays Center球场共享同组第一之後,篮网持续扫荡,大步的走进 波士顿,把塞尔蒂克的脸打的肿肿的.这些事情对要选边站的球迷所会带来的影响是很难说 的,尤其是当不久之後,篮网的教练 Avery Johnson 把尼克教练 Mike Woodson挤出去得到 当月东区最佳教练.两队在11月进入12月时都取得11-4的成绩. A funny thing has happened since then. 自那之後,有趣的事情发生了 The Nets stopped winning. Literally. Eleven and four has become 11-8 in an eye blink, and while its true the Nets’ struggles have coincided nicely with the absence of Brook Lopez and his most recent foot problems (with two of the losses coming against last year’s Finalists, the Heat and the Thunder), it’ s also true they have played consecutive lousy games at home against the Warriors and Bucks, teams they should be able to beat in Brooklyn even with a couple of pieces gone. 胜利之神离开了篮网.11胜4败一眨眼间就成了11胜8败. 没错,篮网在战绩上的挣扎 跟Brook Lopez的缺席与他最近腿受伤有关联(2场比赛输给了去年季後赛最後队伍,热火与 雷霆),但说篮网在主场与勇士跟公鹿比赛时打的零零落落的也没错. 即使缺少了几名大将, 篮网应该也是有能力拿下这两场胜利而不是输掉比赛. Barclays ought to be another fascinating culture study tonight. Back on Nov. 26, though most generously broke the crowd down as 60-40 Nets, it was really more a 50-50 split, though that was still a tremendous upgrade for the Nets from the old Jersey quotas. Still, Nets fans in the house delighted in the win, shrugged off (rightfully) the laments of their Knicks neighbors that Jason Kidd didn’t play (to say nothing about Amar’e Stoudemire and Iman Shumpert). No Nets fan was more giddy than the team’s most famous shareholder. 今晚在Barclay球场也会是项研读多采多姿场边文化的好机会.在11月26日,球迷对球 球队的支持比例最多可以分成6成尼克,4成篮网,虽然实际上应该是五五平手.但跟之前换 城市相比,支持率还是增加许多.当然,篮网球迷对於赢了尼克很是高兴,很快把邻居尼克对 老基没出赛的哀怨(对於阿骂跟香波的缺席倒是啥都没说)从肩膀上拍掉.没有人比篮网最 有名的金主更开心了. “The city,” Jay-Z tweeted, “is under new management.” "这个城市的管理者",Jay-Z在tweeter 说着,"要换人做了" Fifteen days later, it certainly feels like the old administration has re-taken the deed, reclaimed control, resumed its position as Big Brother. These things can change, and quickly, and it certainly wouldn’t hurt the Nets to close out the Brooklyn portion of this four-game regular-season series with another reminder they aren’t in North Jersey any longer. 15天之後,一切看起来就像是旧管理者重新接管,掌权,拿回老大哥的位置.当然,在 万事变化莫测,在这季与尼克的4次对战中,篮网也有可能再取下一城提醒大家他们已经搬离 North Jersey. “These guys are now 0-1 to us,” Johnson said yesterday. “They’re going to try to come in and even it, just like we’ve talked about the same thing to other teams.” "对我们而言他们的成绩就是0胜1负"Johnson昨天这麽说."他们会想要来这打平成绩, 就跟那些被我们打败然後再次对战的队伍一样. Even, as in the scoreboard. As the past 15 days have shown, it’ll take more than one night’s work to truly gain even footing. It takes time to install new management. 即使跟计分板写的一样好了.15天过去了也只是说明想要换新管理员可不是只靠一个 晚上就能够达成的事情. OS:整篇文写的好像两派人马在争夺土地一样,连标题也耸动,我们是打篮球不是在拍黑帮 电影阿~ --
