NEW YORK -- The New York Knicks are only three games into an 82-game season, so it’s too early to draw conclusions about much of anything right now. 在82場比賽賽季只打了三場比賽，用它來得出的結論還太早。 But an interesting trend has emerged involving Carmelo Anthony. 但一個有趣的趨勢已經出現，是有關melo Derek Fisher has opted to rest Anthony in the early portion of the fourth quarter of the Knicks’ last two games. And the move has paid significant dividends. 老漁在近兩場比賽的第四節早期都讓mrlo休息，而此舉得到了回報。 On Thursday in Cleveland, Anthony sat for the first 5:26 of the fourth quarter. 對騎士隊第四節的前5分26分，melo坐在板凳上。 He entered the game with the Knicks up six and went to work, scoring nine points, including a game-sealing jumper over LeBron James with 26 seconds to play to seal the Knicks’ upset win. 他在第6分時進入比賽，得到9分，其中包括一個在終場前26秒的play在LBJ防守下跳，讓 尼克爆冷取勝。 On Sunday night, Anthony sat for the first 3:35 of the fourth, watching the Knicks trade baskets -- and the lead -- with the Charlotte Hornets. 對黃蜂時，Melo在第四節的前3分35又坐在板凳上。 He entered with 8:25 to go and made an immediate impact, hitting two turnaround jumpers 50 seconds apart to give the Knicks a lead. Anthony then hit an elbow jumper over Marvin Williams with 1:24 to play to give the Knicks a two-point lead they wouldn’t relinquish. After the win, Fisher discussed the thinking behind sitting Anthony early in the fourth quarter of the Knicks' past two games. 獲勝後，老漁讓到最近兩場比賽為什麼第四節開始讓melo坐在板凳上的想法。 “I think it’s important to allow for a guy like Carmelo that is a great closer, a great finisher of games, to have the energy level to do so,” Fisher said. 老漁：我認為讓melo這個出色的終結者和得分者，在第四節仍保有體力很重要。 Fisher has vowed to be smart with his usage of Anthony this season. He said in the preseason that he didn't want to "abuse" the 12-year veteran. 老漁曾誓言在本賽季要聰明的使用melo，他不想“虐待”打了12年的老將。 So far, he’s followed through. 到目前為止，保持他的堅持。 In the past two games, both of which have been competitive late into the fourth quarter, Anthony has played an average of 34.5 minutes, including 7:30 in the fourth quarter. Anthony played a career-high 38.7 minutes per game, including 8:30 in the fourth quarter, last season under Mike Woodson. He played at least 35 minutes in 62 of his 77 games. Melo在武僧執教的上個賽季，平均每場比賽上場38.7分鐘，是生涯最高，他有上場的77場 比賽至少62場打上場至少35分鐘。 The extended minutes seemed to hurt Anthony's performance late in games last season. The seven-time All Star shot 47.9 percent from the field in the first quarter, 49.3 percent in the second quarter and 45.2 percent in the third quarter last season. But in the fourth quarter, Anthony shot just 38.0 percent and averaged 8:30 in the fourth. This season, he's shooting 54.5 percent and has played a full minute less in the fourth. It's too early to make any bold proclamations, of course. But Anthony's late-game play has been a driving force behind the Knicks' surprising 2-1 start. "It's worked so far," Anthony said on Sunday night. Is a correlation between Fisher resting Anthony early in the fourth quarter and Anthony's late-game success? That's a question that can be answered with more certainty later in the season. So far, the Knicks like what they see. Said J.R. Smith: "Whatever happens, I hope we keep going to it." http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/knicks/post/_/id/59541/melo-playing-less-delivering-more 光以使用MELO的想法，就支持老漁勝過武僧 --
