The game will be shown in prime time on Nov. 11 as part of ESPN’s Armed Forces Classic from the flat top moored at Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado, across the bay from downtown San Diego. The Abraham Lincoln is on deployment and is due back in port later this summer. 今年在退伍军人纪念日 大学篮球再次於航空母舰上举行比赛 由两位名人堂教练 Tom Izzo 及 Mark Few 带领的密西根州大和冈萨加大学 将於停泊於圣地牙哥军港的林肯号航空母舰上对战 ESPN 将於 十一月十一日於黄金时段转播今年的武装部队经典赛 Izzo’s Spartans lost to No. 1 North Carolina 67-55 on the flight deck of the USS Carl Vinson on Nov. 11, 2011, in the first college basketball game on an active carrier. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama watched from courtside. The Carl Vinson conducted Osama bin Laden’s burial at sea after he was killed by Navy SEALs in a raid ordered by Obama six months earlier. 在2011 年 密西根州大在卡尔文森号输给当时排名全国第一的北卡 罗莱纳大学 该比赛为在现役中的航空母舰所举行的第一场大学篮球比赛 欧巴马总统及第一夫人蜜雪儿欧巴马也在场边观战 在该场球赛举行的六个月前 卡尔文森号成功完成狙杀宾拉登的任务 This will be the first aircraft carrier game since 2012, when only two of four games scheduled that fall were played, including one in San Diego that had to be pushed back two days because of rain rather than moving it indoors. While the 2011 Carrier Classic was played in a spectacular setting, it ended less than an hour before rain drenched the court, just one of the hazards organizers face in staging carrier hoops games. Organizers said there would be a backup court on the hangar deck as a contingency, but that court was never set up. Izzo welcomed the chance to play in another carrier game. 在 2012 年由於天气的因素 只有两场比赛完成 同样的 2011 年 比赛也受到天气影响 比赛只进行不到一个小时 就因为下雨而取消 当时主办单位有承诺有雨备场地 但是该场地从来没有准备好 密西根州大总教练 Tom Izzo 很期待今年的出赛机会 "The experience we had in 2011 when we played North Carolina on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson was one of the most humbling experiences of my career," Izzo said in a statement. "Obviously, we wanted to win and any game against a program like that is very special, but to me, the game was about so much more than just a win or a loss. "This opportunity to play on an aircraft carrier in front of men and women who serve in the military and are willing to put their lives on the line is an experience that is going to mean something to the young men who will play in the game for a long, long time," Izzo added. "I said it last time and I’ ll say it again, we’re going to play one of the best teams in the country and we’re going to be hosted by the No. 1 team in the world." 伊佐说 在2011年和北卡在卡尔文森号的比赛是他执教生涯中 最值得感恩及谦虚的经验 我们很显然地想要赢任何一场必赛 但是那场比赛已经是超越单纯的胜与败 可以在愿意将生命献给国家的部队弟兄姊妹前出赛 相信那场比赛的经验也会给我的年轻球员带来很有意义及长远的影响 我上次说了 我可以再说一遍 我们愿意交手全国最好的球队 不论是客场或主场 Gonzaga coach Mark Few echoed Izzo’s thoughts. "This is a special opportunity for our program to support those who fight for our country in our own small way. We’re excited to face an incredible program in Michigan State and a great colleague in Coach Izzo. I’m sure this will be a great memory for all of us," the Zags coach said in a statement. 冈萨加大学总教练马克福 也同意伊佐的看法而表示 这对我们的学校的篮球学程来说是个特别的机会 可以表达我们对於军旅人员的一点微小支持 The aircraft carrier craze went away after 2012, when Mother Nature played some serious lockdown defense, at least on the East Coast. In a scheduled Carrier Classic doubleheader aboard the decommissioned USS Yorktown in Charleston, South Carolina, on Nov. 9, 2012, Notre Dame beat Ohio State in a women’s game that started in the afternoon. But a men’s game between Ohio State and Marquette scheduled for the evening never started because of condensation on the court. That same night, a game against Georgetown and Florida aboard the active-duty USS Bataan in Gainesville, Florida, was called off after the first half because of condensation. 天气始终扮演着重要因素 2011 年俄亥俄州大和马奎特大学的比赛 乔治城大学和佛罗里达大学的比赛都因为比赛潮湿而取消 In San Diego, a game between Syracuse and San Diego State scheduled for the evening of Nov. 9 aboard the flight deck of the USS Midway Museum on the San Diego side of the bay was pushed back two days because of rain. When it was played in brilliant sunshine on the afternoon of Nov. 11, a brisk wind blowing across the bay contributed to the host Aztecs making just 1 of 18 3-point shots in a 62-49 loss to the taller Orange and its zone defense. 同年在圣地牙哥 雪城大学交手圣地牙哥州大也因为下雨而延後 到了黄昏比赛开始时却刮起大风 让圣地牙哥大学三分球投十八中一 输给有身材优势 和以区域联防闻名的雪城橘子人 Clint Overby, vice president of ESPN Events, said all parties will consider contingencies in case of bad weather or world events that would make the aircraft carrier unavailable. 主办单位EPSN表示会仔细评估天气的因素 He said returning to an aircraft carrier game was "just an option that presented itself. There was no grand plan with it. It was something that was made available in terms of a discussion and we explored it and found it to be viable. More importantly, we found teams who wanted to engage in that experience and were very understanding of the logistical challenges that could be presented. "There has always been an intrigue from coaches and participating institutions to provide a thank you back to the men and women of the military," Overby said. "The number of teams that have lined up to play in these events, whether they be overseas or even domestically, that’s been, in our minds, very well-received by the intercollegiate basketball community. So, we’re excited about that." 柯林特 欧菲比 ESPN 活动副总裁表示 航母系列赛的回归是当然的 没有特别安排 我们只要询问场地和愿意出赛的队伍 更重要的是 我们发现曾经参加的球队都非常能理解 後勤和行政的困难度 比赛过後都感谢主办单位的邀请 一直以来 航母系列赛很多球队排队等着想参加 作为主办单位我们感到非常高兴 ------------------------------------ 随手翻 欢迎补充 ! 虽然是两个月前的消息了 但还是蛮期待这系列赛的回归 --
