Knicks’3-point plan：shoot , shoot & shoot again 外电连结：http://0rz.tw/Xr0Kl As the final seconds of an intense scrimmage clicked off the clock at the Knicks practice facility yesterday, Chris Copeland launched a baseline jumper that swished through the net to give the white-jersey team a buzzer-beating tie, yes a tie, with the blue team. You would have thought they had won Game 7 of the NBA Finals the way they carried on. J.R. Smith practically jumped into Copeland’s arms before the rest of the white team celebrated as if they had hit a walk-off home run. Sure we’re talking ’bout practice. But it was a reminder of earlier in the season when Smith buried a couple of game-winning shots and making 3-pointers was one of the Knicks’ best weapons. 尼克的球队训练分组练习，CC底线跳投命中一个压哨球，让白队赢了蓝队。你可能会认为 他们像赢了NBA总冠军赛，当白队赢了，JR很高兴的立刻跳起和CC互撞，就像他们打出了 全垒打。(下面影片有) 尼克的练习影片→ http://0rz.tw/ev9Qg 当然我们是在说尼克的练球情况，但它是一个提醒，在本赛季的早期，JR的三分球是尼克 的最好的武器之一。 Now it’s as if the 3-point shot is a dirty word, talked about as having gone from a weapon to a liability that should be de-emphasized if this team is going to truly contend for an NBA title. Hogwash. If the Knicks are going to have any sustained success for the remainder of the regular season and through the postseason, their 3-point shooting will have to be feared rather than jeered. Sure, the Knicks haven’t been converting the 3-point shot with the regularity they did earlier in the season when they were shooting 41.6 percent from behind the arc at the end of the November and 39 percent at the end of December. 而现在似乎3分球变成一个肮脏的字眼，大家都说果尼克要真正争夺NBA总冠军，靠3分球 是不行的，这是一派胡言。 如果尼克在剩余的季赛和季後赛持续成功，其他各队将不得不担心他们的3分球而不是嘲 笑。 当然，尼克目前并没有的规律3分球命中率，2012年11月3分投篮命中率是41.6％，12月是 39％。 Over their last seven games, they have made just 29.3 percent (56 of 191) of their 3-pointers, including just 8 of 33 in their win over the Sixers on Sunday night. But just as the torrid shooting was not sustainable, this stretch should not be either. The Knicks can’t afford to turn gun-shy against the Warriors tonight when they meet at Madison Square Garden. Shooting 3s is part of the Knicks’ identity and it’s what they must do if they are going to get anywhere this season. 尼克前七场比赛中，3分投篮命中率是29.3％（191投56中），其中包括对76人8个三分球 (33投8中)，要一直保持火热的3分投篮命中率当然是不可能的。 但尼克对战勇士时也不用害羞於投3分，3分球战术本来就是尼克的特性之一，也是本季他 们必须持续做的事情，他们也能满足MSG主场的球迷。 “Everybody knows we like to shoot the 3-ball — that’s a no-brainer,” Carmelo Anthony said. “I think sometimes as shooters, if we don’t make the first one, we’re going to make the next one.” Melo说：每个人都知道我们喜欢投三分球，有时我想，做为一个射手，如果我们第一个没 有投进，当然要继续投下一个。 (Melo什麽时候变成射手？XD) Coach Mike Woodson scolded his team for settling for too many 3s in the closing minutes of a loss at Toronto last week. But the message shouldn’t be to stop shooting them. 武僧骂他的团队在对暴龙时的最後几分钟投了太多的三分球，但讯息是不应该停止投3分 。 Defenses have made it a priority to defend the Knicks’ 3-point game, which is one reason the shooting percentage has dropped. But they are still getting enough open looks to make a difference. They just have to start converting with more regularity. It’s the only way to open up the offense and take pressure off Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire. Plus, the 3-pointer complements the high-pick-and-roll offense. 在尼克的三分球投篮命中率低落时，防守更加重要，如果他们有足够的空档投篮一切就会 不同，他们会有更多的规律性投篮命中率，利用阿骂和Melo，这是打开三分球所需要档拆 进攻的唯一方式。 “When Tyson [Chandler] goes to the rim, you’ve got to honor that,” Jason Kidd said. “You’ve also got to honor Ray [Felton] getting to the basket, Melo getting to the basket and Melo being able to get a lot of double teams. So with good ball movement, we get a lot of great shots.” Kidd说：当拳王到篮下或肥顿切到篮下，外线就会得到机会。Melo也会吸引双人包夹，所 以球有很好的流动，让我们得到了很多投篮的好空档。 Kidd is the poster child of the Knicks’ shooting slump, having made just 10 of his past 50 3-pointers, including a dreadful 1-for-7 Sunday night. But he insists he has not lost confidence and will continue to fire when open. 近来Kidd的三分球命中率是低迷期(50投仅10中)，对76年时7投1中。但他坚持说，他并没 有失去信心，并会继续在空档时开火。 “They all felt good. They hit back iron. I can live with those,” he said. “ If they get going left or right, that’s when you have to sit back and try to figure out what’s wrong.” Kidd说：他们都觉得不错，我可以忍受这些，当你坐下来，试图找出到底是什麽地方出错 。 Don’t be surprised if it turns into a 3-point-fest tonight at the Garden. The Warriors had one of the league’s best shooting percentage from 3-point range at 39 percent going into last night’s game at Indiana. 假如今晚在MSG变成一个3分秀，不要感到惊讶，勇士是联盟中3分投篮命中率最好的球队 。 The Knicks are at 37.4 after attempting 1,538 3-pointers, second only to the Rockets (1,663). 尼克目前三分球出手次数1,538 ，仅次於的火箭1,663次(3分命中率37.4％)。 The last thing the Knicks need to do now is change who they are. 尼克现在需要做的最後一件事是改变他们自己。 “If you start making them in March, April and June everybody forgets about what happened earlier in the season,” Kidd said. Kidd说：如果从三月、四月和六月有办法投进三分球，每个人都忘记发生之前发生什麽事 。 The message should remain: shoot when open. 这个讯息是：当有空档时就投篮。 Let's Go KNICKS!!! Beat the WARRIORS !!! ............................................................................. 翻这篇主要的原因是第一句看到CC，一直觉得很奇怪CC算是有得分能力的球员(有三分也 能切入)，为什麽无法排入固定轮替阵容？(目前武僧大多只有9人轮替)，虽然CC的防守有 点问题，但现在尼克的团队防守本来就有问题 XD 一直觉得CC没有得到多一点的上场时间挺可惜，所以偷渡一篇CC的外电→ http://0rz.tw/7wlhu 看有没有人有兴趣认领(Winding Euro tour led Copeland to kinsks) PS：这篇是出发去澄清湖棒球场看2013经典赛热身赛前利用10分钟乱翻，应该很多错误， 请大家帮忙修正 --
