Knicks eager to get Wallace back on court 尼克很需要阿北回归 The Knicks got point guard Raymond Felton back to reignite the offense. Now coach Mike Woodson is waiting on Rasheed Wallace to reenergize a defense that allowed the Hawks to shoot 60 percent Sunday at the Garden. 伤癒复出的肥顿，为尼克的进攻增色不少。现在，武僧正等着阿北也回归，让防守重新 变得有力。上一场尼克的防守竟让老鹰在花园广场拥有60%的命中率。 There have been false hopes before, but Wallace is expected to return to practice this week, according to Woodson. 虽然之前期待阿北早日归队有点不实际，但武僧表示，阿北这次的确要回来了，本周就会 归队训练。 The Knicks have missed the reserve 6-foot-11 power forward — especially his zeal, moxie and 3-point shot. They are a .500 team (10-10) since they shut down Wallace in mid-December because of a stress reaction in his left foot. 尼克队少了6尺11寸阿北後，胜率只有五成(10胜10负)，当然也少了他的激情、大胆和 三分球。阿北当时是十二月中左脚感到不适，因而进厂维修。 The weekend underscored the Knicks’ steady decline on defense. Sixers point guard Jrue Holiday and Hawks point guard Jeff Teague got to the rim with ease, with little help from any of the Knicks’ interior defenders. 尼克在防守上的问题显得越来越严重，这个周末的比赛相当明显。七六人的控卫Holiday 和老鹰控卫Teague切入篮下相当容易，尼克在禁区的防守威胁降低了。 The return of Wallace, a Woodson favorite, could adversely affect Amar’e Stoudemire’s minutes. Though Stoudemire showed explosiveness on offense the past three games, he is starting to regress on defense despite his vow to become an elite defender. In the win over the Hawks, Stoudemire lost his man repeatedly. 阿北是武僧的爱将，他的回归极有可能影响史陶德迈尔的上场时间。尽管最近三场比赛， 阿骂在进攻端有着爆发性的表现，但他的防守又开始退步中(虽然他承诺自己会成为一个 优秀防守球员)。赢下老鹰的那场比赛，阿骂不断地漏人。 Wallace breathes defense and is the Knicks’ best communicator. Woodson can’ t wait for Wallace’s return, which has been postponed repeatedly by a cautious Knicks medical staff led by Dr. Lisa Callahan. Woodson predicted during Christmas Week that Wallace could be back on Jan. 1, but that did not happen. One school of thought is Dr. Callahan realizes Wallace has only so many games left in his foot, and the Knicks would rather have them down the stretch and in the playoffs than in January. 阿北能让尼克的防守重新活络，更是尼克队的沟通中枢。武僧根本等不及看到阿北回归， 因为队医Lisa Callahan的谨慎使得阿北归队一再延期。武僧在圣诞假期时就预估，阿北 可以一月一号归队，但这愿望终究没有实现。有人猜测，Callahan医生是从长计议，她 知道尼克会需要阿北打到季後赛，远比一月就冒然回归来得重要。 Woodson said Wallace would have been able to play Saturday against the Sixers if it were a playoff contest. That squashed the notion Wallace may not come back at all. In fact, Woodson said Wallace is closer to returning than Marcus Camby (plantar fasciitis). 武僧说，阿北可以在本周六对七六人时上场，这场会是季後赛前哨战。这个声明粉碎了阿 北可能整季报销的传言。事实上，武僧还说阿北要比老坎比(足底筋膜炎)还早回归。 One Detroit source said Wallace had foot problems during his time with the Pistons, but often played through the pain. The Pistons termed the injury a strained left arch. Wallace said last month he had “reaggravated an old injury.’’ 一个底特律的消息来源指称，阿北在活塞队时，他的脚常不时有问题，但他经常忍住直到 比赛结束。活塞队管这个伤叫足背拉伤。阿北本人上个月则称，他"旧伤加重"了。 The Post has reported the Knicks fear Wallace’s stress reaction will turn into a season-ending stress fracture if he returns too soon. They have said the rumor Wallace already has a stress fracture is “erroneous.’’ 纽约邮报已经披露，尼克队担心阿北的足部拉伤如果太早回归，可能会加重拉伤情况，变 成整季报销的应力性骨折。不过他们也说，阿北已经应力性骨折的传言"不实"。 Wallace has scoffed at the report he may not return, and said he wasn’t going to let “a little sore foot’’ derail his comeback from a two-year retirement. Wallace otherwise has been mum on the injury. He has not asked for a second opinion. 阿北自己也驳斥了他无法归队的传言。他还说，他不会让这"小小的足部酸痛"推延他的 退役两年再度复出大计。然而， 阿北面对伤势还是只有沉默的份。除了归队继续打球， 他也还没有其他的打算。 One person familiar with the situation said Woodson wanted Wallace on the squad for his “leadership qualities.’’ 一位知情的内部人士指出，武僧希望阿北回来为他的"菁英领导"增色。 “It’s an attitudinal thing, not stats,’’ the source said. "这是因为他的素养，而不是数据。"消息来源说。 Stoudemire’s offensive stats are on the rise. His new post game and old dunking prowess have been on display of late. He is averaging 12.6 points on 52.1 percent shooting and 4.3 rebounds in 22.4 minutes. But in the past five games, he is averaging 17 points on 61.4 percent shooting. The Knicks are 6-6 since he returned from knee surgery. 阿骂的进攻数据正在提升。低位和灌篮最近都在比赛中展现出来。他在22.4分钟的平均上 场时间里缴出52.1%的命中率、12.6分和4.3篮板。而最近五场，他的平均来到了17分、 61.4%的命中率。尼克队在他膝伤复原归队後的战绩则是6胜6负。 Woodson has treated Stoudemire with kid gloves. He doesn’t want to criticize his defensive shortcomings, realizing Stoudemire has made an effort to improve, always asking questions during practice. 武僧对阿骂有如孩童般呵护。他并不去批评阿骂的防守缺点，他知道他努力在改进，也知 道他在练习时不断问问题。 “He’s just active the last four, five games,’’ Woodson said of Stoudemire ’s explosiveness around the rim. “He’s got to continue to ride it. He’s trying to do the right things on defense. It’s very encouraging.’’ "近四五场比赛他很积极。"对於阿骂篮下爆发，武僧如此评论。"他必须持续这样的高档 表现。事实上，他也同时在防守端做对的事情。这是令人振奋的事。" On the radio yesterday, Woodson said: “[Stoudemire is] growing [on defense]. That’s all I can tell you. He’s more engaged and in tune to what we want done, especially on defense.” 昨天在一个广播节目里，武僧表示: "阿骂在防守端不断进步。我能告诉你的就这麽多。 他不断照我们想要的模式打球，尤其是防守端。" However, Stoudemire does not seem destined to return to the starting lineup. Carmelo Anthony is viewed as the starting power forward, though Woodson said on the radio he wants to move toward playing Stoudemire, Anthony and Tyson Chandler together. 尽管如此，阿骂似乎依旧没能回到先发行列。甜瓜已被视为先发大前锋，不过武僧在电台 里表示，他希望可以让阿骂、甜瓜和拳王三人一起上阵。 Unless Mike D’Antoni’s Lakers want Stoudemire in exchange for Pau Gasol, it would be almost impossible to deal Stoudemire’s $20 million wage at next month’s trade deadline because of salary-cap rules. 除非丹东尼的湖人队愿意用Gasol换阿骂，否则阿骂的2000万合约恐怕难以在下个月的交易 大限前摆脱了，这也让薪资帽的问题再度浮现。 A perennial injury risk, Stoudemire likely will be shopped this summer, when he will have two years and $45 million left on his uninsured deal. The following summer, Stoudemire’s deal would be viewed as an expiring contract. 由於旧伤带来的不确定因素，阿骂极可能在今夏被交易，带着他剩余两年4500万的不保证 约。届时，他的合约会被视为到期合约。 Woodson is staunch about sticking with combo guard Iman Shumpert as a starter despite his rust after being out nine months, but Jason Kidd’s back woes put into question what form the Knicks’ smallball alignment will take. On Sunday, James White started the second half for the ailing Kidd, playing with Felton and Shumpert. That may be the lineup against the Magic tomorrow, when the Knicks continue their five-game homestand. 尽管双能卫香坡刚从九个月的进厂维修复出未久，武僧坚持使用他当先发。然而这样一来 老基的背部隐患让尼克的小球阵容充满隐忧和不确定。对老鹰的比赛，James White在下 半场顶替老基，和肥顿、香坡并肩作战；这可能是明天对魔术的阵容，而尼克也继续他们 的连五场主场保卫战。 http://tinyurl.com/azvmj8v --
