Nuggets report: Return of Chucky II Aaron J. Lopez Thursday, March 6, 2008 来源：http://0rz.tw/c83L6 The Chucky Atkins relaunch is expected to take place tonight when the Nuggets face the San Antonio Spurs at the Pepsi Center. Chucky Atkins决定要在下场金块主场面对马刺的比赛中复出。 Atkins, who has missed the past 26 games while recovering from hernia surgery, pronounced himself ready to go after a long individual workout Thursday. 在疝气手术恢复过程中错过了26场比赛後，Atkins在周四的一次个人训练结束後 宣布下场复出。 "I'll be playing," he said. "I'm going to be excited, so I know I'm going to play with a lot of energy." "我会上场的。"他说，"我会很兴奋，所以我会在比赛中活力十足。" Energy is nice, but the Nuggets also need Atkins to provide speed on the fast break and an outside shooting threat when Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson are coping with double teams. 有活力是很好的，但是金块也需要他在快攻时提供速度，当Melo和AI被包夹时 提供外围投射。 Atkins, a career 36.8 percent three-point shooter, made 10-of-41 threes while trying to play through a groin injury earlier in the season. He played in only nine games before having surgery. Atkins生涯三分球命中率36.8%，在本季鼠蹊部受伤前的成绩是投41中10。 他在手术前只打了9场比赛。 "No doubt it'll be easier (this time around) because I'm going to have my legs with me," he said. "Basically, early in the season, everything was hard to do - run, jump, just my overall movement in general was hard. This time, you'll see me a lot swifter getting up and down the court." "毫无疑问这次复出会容易一些，因为这次我恢复得比较好。"他说，"在赛季的 前期，所有一切都显得困难--跑动、跳跃，总体上的移动都很困难。这一次， 你会看到我在全场的跑动中变得比之前敏捷。" In Atkins' absence, Anthony Carter has handled the bulk of the point-guard duties, averaging eight points and 6.1 assists. Atkins has no problem serving as Carter's backup upon his return. 在Atkins缺阵期间，Anthony Carter大部分时间承担了控球後卫的职责 ，场均8分6.1助攻。Atkins对於担当Carter的替补没有异议。 "Right now, I couldn't see myself in the starting lineup," Atkins said. "Anthony Carter's done a helluva job for us. I'm just not ready to be in a starting position right now. Maybe later on in the season, who knows?" "现在，我不觉得自己会进先发名单。"Atkins说，"AC为我们做了巨大的贡献。 我现在还没准备好打先发。或许在以後的比赛中可以，谁知道呢？" Numbers game 157combined points scored by the Spurs and Nuggets on Jan. 3. The Nuggets won 80-77, recording their only win in five games this season when scoring fewer than 90 points. 1/3对马刺的比赛中两队合得157分。金块以80-77赢球，这是他们本季5场得分少 於90分的比赛中唯一获胜的。 Beautiful in April Should the Nuggets secure the No. 7 or No. 8 seed in the Western Conference playoffs, they could run into a familiar opponent: the defending champion Spurs. 若金块保住第7或8种子进入季後赛，他们会遇到相当熟悉的对手：马刺。 Coach George Karl, who has lost two playoff series to San Antonio in the past three seasons, gave a sardonic laugh when asked about another possible matchup with the Spurs, who are No. 1 in the West. 过去三个球季输给马刺两次的 Karl ，被问到可能遇到目前西区第一的马刺时， 给了一个相当讥讽的微笑。 I think we just want to get into that problem," Karl said. "I think our team is a little more confident." "我想我们很乐於遇到这个他们"，Karl说，"我们的球队更有信心了。" The Spurs wouldn't mind facing the Nuggets in the first round. They bounced Denver in five games in 2005 and 2007 and won the NBA title each time. 马刺则是一点也不介意在第一轮遇到金块。 他们在05和07年打败金块後都赢得了冠军。 He said it "I'm very impressed at how they've turned it back on. The last couple of years, we're all saying, 'I don't know if they're going to be able to do it.' They do it every time." "我对於他们所做到的很惊讶，过去几年我们总在说'我不确定他们是否能做到' 而他们每次都做的到。" Karl, on the Spurs, who are on an 11-game winning streak. 这是Karl对马刺的11连胜的感想。 明天的比赛...希望能拿出上一场的防守(甚至更好) 这样有机会赢球吧... GO NUGGETS!! --
