这篇只挑重点来翻，尤其是最後三段。 http://0rz.tw/543ES Vince Carter was given a chance to defend himself on the court and off of it last night and he didn’t. As you probably know by now, Carter was ripped by Magic Johnson and Charles Barkley during the pregame and halftime reports of Thursday’s TNT broadcast of Nets-Warriors. Johnson said Carter’s “knees are gone” and tried proving it by showing highlights of Carter driving and laying the ball in instead of putting down highlight reel jams like he would have in the past. “He’s not the superstar he used to be,” said Johnson. “Vince Carter used to be a player who gave you three or four highlight plays every night.” Barkley said the only reason Carter had 17 points at the half against Golden State was because the Warriors are the worst defensive team in the league. “Golden State doesn’t play any defense. They’re not bumping him,” said Barkley. “When they’re playing against better teams his numbers aren’t as good.” 老巴觉得Carter对金州土匪上半场就干下17分的原因是因为金州土匪的防守(就跟篮网 的教练一样)是全联盟最烂的，要是遇上其他队，老巴不相信Carter的数据会这麽好看。 Against the Nuggets, he wasn’t good. Carter scored 13 points, with 11 of them coming during a brief portion of the third quarter. Each of his five made baskets came in the third quarter. 对上金块队，Carter只攻下13分，其中11分是在第三节一段时间内得到的，所有的FGs 也都出现在第三节。 Afterward, he acted as if he hadn’t heard of the criticism by two of the best players in history. “I don’t care really,” Carter said when the topic came up. “I don’t even know what you’re talking about. If they said it or not, I don’t care.” Carter好像没听过Magic还有老巴评论的回应：我真的一点都不在乎，我甚至不知道 你们(记者)在说的是甚麽，能吃吗？ He did say that he hasn’t had any problems with his knees. Earlier, Lawrence Frank and Rod Thorn said Carter’s ankle has been bothering him. He sprained it earlier in the season and had to miss five games. “Vince is still a very high-level, all-star caliber player,” Frank said. “ He’s been bogged down by an ankle injury, which has affected him….He’s still one of the best players in the league. We have a lot of respect for the opinions of Earvin and Charles, who are two of the greatest players to have played the game. But those of us who are around him every day know that he is still one of the elite (shooting) guards in the league.” (这段跟上一篇有提到) Carter is averaging 20.9 points this season but he hasn’t been consistent, either with his production or his approach. He has five 30-point games but none since January 4. He scored 29 against the Warriors but just eight in the second half and two in the fourth quarter, when the game was on the line. Carter本季目前平均一场20.9分，不过相当的不稳定。本季虽有5场30分以上的表现， 不过1月4号後就没再出现过。对勇士是拿下了29分啦，比赛第四节胶着的情况下，又 好像隐型般的只拿下2分。 And too many times he has appeared passive, opting to either take mid- to long-range jumpers or set teammates up for shots. That’s not what the Nets gave him a four-year, $61 million contract to do. 而且很多次他显得太消极了点，要嘛投投中距离或三分，不然就是做给队友投，这可不 是篮网给他四年6千1百万要他做的事啊！ We don’t know if this was intentional, but Richard Jefferson made a curious comment last night that could be perceived as a crack at Carter. When asked about the Nets’ recent struggles, particularly the fact that they’ve given up 100 or more points (a lot more, actually) in six straight games, he referred to how the Nets used to play back when they were title contenders: “We have a different team. You can’t compare a team with Kenyon (Martin) and Kerry (Kittles) to a team with Vince and Josh Boone. We’d be unrealistic to compare them. It’s like comparing the Shaq and Kobe Lakers to the Laker team now. They’re a different team, they’re a different makeup. We don’t get fastbreak points. We don’t do that type of stuff. We’ve got to score some more points too.” R. Jefferson针对最近篮网的窘状如是说：现在跟以前不一样了啦，你不能拿以前有Kmart +Kittles，来跟现在是Carter+Boone比啊，这就好像你不能用以前有Shaq的湖人队，来跟 现在的湖人队比，根本就是不同的球队啦。就好像我们现在快攻得分少了很多，也没什麽 在快攻。 Jefferson will probably say that he was simply noting that Carter has never been known as a defensive presence, which he’s certainly not, and has never thrived playing the run-and-gun style the Nets used to play. But it was interesting to hear him say that, especially after the beating his teammate took on national television. 作者觉得Jefferson只是想说Carter从来不是一个防守很好的球员（还补上一句"当然不 是"）然後以前也没打过什麽跑轰，不过在Carter才在TNT被Magic还有老巴"ㄍㄧㄠˇ" 完，Jeffeson说这些话还挺耐人寻味的。 By Julian Garcia on January 26, 2008 -- 看到上一篇版友的推文，今天念预官念到很烦，计概跟国文那什麽鬼啊>"< 想说看看外电，看到这篇突然觉得心里毛毛的。 不过另外有看到一篇，金块教练反倒挺替Carter说话的， 大意是他觉得Carter还是很具威胁性，所以才会派Kmart去负责守Carter 不过也可能是因为他跟Carter同是北卡校友就是了...... 明天是客场最後一场，将要对上灰狼，Carter应该还是会上场， 希望会有好表现，最好一场来3.4个highlight reel给Magic看看，加油!! --
