武僧需要Novak更多的支援 GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- To the surprise of almost everyone in the gym, Steve Novak threw down a right-handed dunk toward the end of Knicks practice on Tuesday. Novak周二的练习结束前来个右手惊天一灌，大家都看呆了。 It was a lighthearted moment to close out an intense workout, one that drew a strong reaction from Novak's teammates. 密集的练习後，他这一灌把大家的注意力全都拉回来了。 "Crazy" is how one player described it. 有人说：「真是疯狂」。 Mike Woodson was probably impressed, as well. But the Knicks coach would much rather see his sharpshooter knocking down 3s, something that's been as rare as a Novak dunk in recent days. 武僧可能也会注意到这件事。但武僧更想要的可能是，这名三分神射继续发挥准头，毕竟 他已经熄火好一阵子了。 One of Woodson's goals heading into Wednesday's home game against the Magic is to create open looks for Novak. The 29-year-old forward has just one 3-pointer in his last four games. 今年29岁的Novak，近四场才投进一球三分。武僧下一场对魔术的比赛目标之一，就是帮 Novak找空档。 "I've got to get Novak more involved," Woodson said on Tuesday. "I've got to get (him) some more touches, somehow." 「我得让Novak更参与整个运作里。我得让他球感恢复，无论如何。」武僧说。 Touches have been few and far between for Novak in recent games. The six-year veteran has had four attempts or fewer in seven of the Knicks' last nine games. Last season, Novak took eight or more shots in 22 of the Knicks' final 41 regular-season games. 最近九场球，Novak有七场出手四次以内。上一季，他在尼克最後41场球则有22场出手八 次以上。整体来说，Novak最近很闷。 On Tuesday, Novak insisted he's not concerned about his touches -- or lack thereof -- in recent weeks. 周二Novak表示，这几周他不在意自己的球感──或者说失去球感。 "I understand that there may be games that I score 25 and there's games where I may not score at all," Novak, who signed a four-year, $15 million contract, said after practice. "We have a deep enough team that there's going to be nights where some guys are feeling it, some guys are getting more looks ... I'm just going to continue to do what I do and stay confident." 「我知道，有时候我可能一场突然轰下25分，另一场球一分未得。」Novak练习後说。他 和尼克签有4年1500万合约。「我们阵容深度够，一定有大家都觉得准头来了的机会。所 以我只要继续保持信心就没事了。」 Raymond Felton, back in the lineup after a five-week absence due to a fractured right pinkie, is expected to help create open looks for Novak. Novak is shooting 50 percent when he shares the floor with Felton and 36 percent when he isn't. He's also hitting 53.6 percent of his 3s when Felton's on the court, 40 percent when the point guard is off the floor. 肥顿缺赛五周後(右小指骨折)回归，其中他被赋予的责任就是替Novak传出空档。Novak有 肥顿在场上时，命中率有50%(三分53.6%)，他下场後只有36%(三分40%)。 The numbers indicate Felton's ability to penetrate and draw defenders, which in turn creates open shots on the perimeter. 这样的数字指出，肥顿有效吸引防守者，并让射手在中距离外有更多空档。 More recently, though, teams have consistently chosen to take Novak out of the Knicks' offense by assigning a defender to shadow him -- one reason his shot total has dipped of late. 然而最近Novak渐渐被对手用一个大锁就搞定，这是他最近投射低迷的原因之一。 "Whenever Steve steps on the court, they don't let him get the ball in his hands," J.R. Smith said. "I think they're doing a good job of that." J.R.说：「当Novak上场，对方就完全不让他接触球。他们做得很成功。」 Added Novak: "Once you, as we say, you make the scouting report, you're just not a secret anymore." Novak补充：「一旦你成为球探报告的研究对象，你就一点也不神秘了。」 Teams keying on Novak do so at the expense of having an extra help defender available on other areas of the floor. And it seems to be helping the Knicks. New York is averaging 3.6 more points per game with Novak on the floor, which is partially due to the open shots created by the attention paid to Novak. 对手们用一个大锁搞定Novak，换来的是少一个防守球员在场上自由流转补防。对尼克而 言这有好处，因为Novak在场上的话，每场平均可让尼克多得3.6分。这可当成是Novak被 重点盯防後的代价。 "Hopefully, (I can) be a decoy when I'm needed and make shots when I need to," Novak said. 「我希望我能扮演各种角色，不管是当诱饵还是射手。」Novak说。 Woodson would prefer the latter. 武僧显然比较想要後者。 The coach didn't offer specifics on what he could do to get Novak back in the mix, but he made it clear that he's going to make it a priority, beginning on Wednesday when his team takes on the Magic. 武僧没有多说明怎麽让Novak手感恢复。但他已经说明，他会在对上尼克的比赛把Novak 手感与投射当做第一要务。 "We got to get Novak to come back to where he's supposed to be," the coach said. 「我们要把Novak塑造成他该有的样子。」武僧说。 WATCH IT: NOVAK'S DUNK: Back in late November, in the second half of the Knicks-Bucks game in Milwaukee, Novak found himself all alone with a clear path to the basket. 去年11月底，在密尔瓦基对公鹿的下半场，Novak单刀快攻时也有机会来一记灌篮。 Players on the Knicks bench stood up in anticipation of a dunk. But with Milwaukee's Tobias Harris closing hard, Novak opted to pull up for a layup. 当时尼克板凳全部起立要迎接这一灌，但公鹿的Tobias Harris很快跟进，使得Novak只好 选择上篮。 That led to good-natured ribbing from teammates and fans, some of whom questioned whether the 6-foot-10 sharpshooter could actually get above the rim. 这让许多天真的球迷和队友发出讪笑：这个6尺10寸的大个子到底能不能灌篮啊？ Novak ended any speculation on Tuesday, though, throwing down a right-handed dunk at the close of Knicks practice. Novak周二的一灌说明了一切。 The team's website caught the dunk on video. Check it out here. 点此见连结： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXLVC3vE9tk&feature=youtu.be http://tinyurl.com/a6eykf9 --
