: A knee injury on opening day delayed Shumpert’s impact, and he is still : regaining his strength and stamina. But his value is clear. Since returning : Jan. 4, Shumpert has averaged 13.8 points, 4.3 assists, 4 rebounds and 2.8 : steals in 32.5 minutes in four games. He shot 50 percent from the field : during that stretch, including 37.5 from 3-point range. 一個膝蓋的受傷延遲了IMan帶來的激情，而且他還在恢復力量和血條中。從一月四號傷癒 歸隊開始，四場比賽平均上場32.5分鐘 得到13.8分 4.3助攻 四個籃板 2.8次阻斷 同時 擁有50%的投籃命中率 包括37.5%的三分球命中率!!! : On a team with little offensive firepower outside of Anthony and Amar’e : Stoudemire, Shumpert is suddenly the Knicks’ third option. His 16-point : effort on Monday helped the Knicks overcome a poor shooting night from their : stars, prompting Anthony to offer this bit of lofty praise: “We’ve been : feeding off of him, feeding off his energy.” 在一個開火權幾乎落在Melo和STAT手裡的球隊，IMan突然竄起成為第三門火砲。在星期一 的比賽裡，尼克的看板球星們的命中率低得可憐，IMan獨得16分幫助尼克走出困境。 Melo表示：「我們都靠他啦！都靠他的激情！」 : Somewhere in Indianapolis, Donnie Walsh is beaming. : Before being pushed away in a power struggle with Knicks ownership last : spring, Walsh delivered a parting gift that will keep on giving. With the : 17th pick in the June draft, he selected Shumpert, who was considered a : wildly intriguing prospect with notable flaws. 印第安納波理斯的某處，Donnie Walsh正閃耀著光芒(?) 在一場宮廷內鬥中被趕出尼克之前，Walsh 送給了尼克一個超讚的分手禮：用第17順位偷 來了IMan! : Scouts loved Shumpert’s athleticism, his 42-inch vertical leap, his : 6-foot-10 wingspan and his devotion to defense. They were less enamored of : his jump shot and his point-guard skills, although at 6-5 and 220 pounds, he : could play either backcourt spot. 球探們覺得IMan的42吋垂直起跳，6尺10的翼展和防守的拼勁都超屌的!但是對於投射能力 和控衛技巧就覺得馬馬虎虎啦! 雖然他6尺5吋 220磅 的身材可以打雙(不)能衛。 : As late as last March, Shumpert was pegged as a second-round pick by ESPN’s : draft expert, Chad Ford. By draft night, he was considered a low : first-rounder. 直到去年九月，IMan還被預測為第二輪才會有人要。直到選秀會前，大家都覺得他只是 第一輪後段班的。 : The Knicks could have drafted a rebounder (Kenneth Faried) or a versatile : frontcourt defender (Chris Singleton), but Walsh chose Shumpert, setting off : boos among Knicks fans attending the draft in Newark. 尼克本來可以選籃板專家美國柴哥，或是多功能禁區防守悍將Chris Singleton。但Walsh 就是選了IMan，害他被現場的尼克芸芸們噓到爆。 : Walsh had a mixed record in four drafts with the Knicks, most notably : striking out in 2009 when he selected Jordan Hill with the eighth pick, : passing on point guards Brandon Jennings, Jrue Holliday, Ty Lawson, Jeff : Teague and Darren Collison. Walsh 在尼克的選秀表現毀譽參半，最鳥的一次是在09年選了名字很威的Jordan Hill 跳過了 Brandon Jenning, Jrue Holliday, Ty Lawson, Jeff Teague和Darren Collison : Hill was a bust, and fans never forgave Walsh for the miscalculation. But no : team drafts perfectly, and Walsh had more hits than misses, taking Danilo : Gallinari sixth over all in 2008 and finding Fields in the second round in : 2010. Hill整個超鳥，尼克芸芸們怎樣也沒辦法原諒Walsh。但本來就沒有人士完美的嘛，Walsh 偶爾也表現得不錯，比如說第六順位選了尬你那裡，又在第二輪偷到Landry Fields。 : In Shumpert, Walsh might have drafted redemption. It is very early, but : Shumpert looks like a capable shooter and a skilled playmaker. He had 14 : assists in the last three games, second only to Anthony’s 17, and just 7 : turnovers. 雖然還早，但是Iman看起來是個每賣的射手和有技巧的Playmaker。最近三場比賽他拿到 14次助攻，僅次於Melo的17次，同時只有７次失誤。 : On Saturday, Coach Mike D’Antoni made Shumpert his starting point guard and : benched the slumping Toney Douglas. The contrast between the two is glaring, : even at a glance. The Knicks are faster, crisper and more energetic when : Shumpert is on the court. He pushes the pace in transition and routinely : finds Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler for alley-oop dunks. At least once a : game, it seems, he has a steal that sparks a fast break. 就在禮拜六，冷笑話把IMan排上先發，把鳥掉的小TD冰起來。IMan幾乎讓整個尼克隊飛舞 了起來，球隊的進攻節奏變得更快，攻守轉換更流暢，同時一在的傳阿雷呦給STAT和拳王 。每場比賽幾乎都有一次抄截發動快攻！ : Shumpert can also break down opponents with dribble penetration, a skill the : Knicks badly needed in the lineup. Against Detroit on Saturday, Shumpert : twice fed Stoudemire for easy dunks after driving into the lane and drawing : in the defense. IMan同時也可以運球把對手切爆，除了他之外尼克沒人會切了。上禮拜六對活賽，IMan有 兩次切入分球給STAT輕鬆灌籃得分。 : “He has a high basketball I.Q.,” Chandler said. “He knows the plays to : make.” 拳王表示:「他很聰明啦! 他知道怎麼打出好球。」 : Over the last three games, the Knicks have outscored opponents by 28 points : with Shumpert on the court, placing him behind only Anthony (plus 31) and : Stoudemire (plus 30). 最近這三場比賽IMan的累計+/-比為28分 僅次於 Melo的 31分和STAT的30分 : If there is an obvious gap in Shumpert’s game, it is the midrange jumper. : Although he is 6 for 17 from behind the 3-point arc (35.3 percent), Shumpert : has made just 2 of 10 shots from 10 to 23 feet, according to HoopData.com. He : is also a bit trigger-happy at times, pulling up for shots in transition. 真的要講的話，IMan的中距離還是要加油啦三分球命中率有35.3%，阿怎麼10~23尺跳投卻 只有投十中二。偶爾也會有點腦充血，在攻守轉換的時候突然硬拔。 : As a junior at Georgia Tech, Shumpert shot only 40.6 percent from the field : and 27.8 percent from 3-point range, causing some to criticize his shot : selection and his conscience. Playing alongside Stoudemire and Anthony, : Shumpert said, has fixed the problem. 身為喬治雅理工的大二球員，IMan的投籃命中率只有40.6，三分球命中率只有27.8。導致 一直有人質疑他的投籃選擇。但如果和STAT還有Melo打球就沒有這個問題了，IMan表示。 : “I think it’s cleaned up my shot selection,” he said, adding that he was “ : a little more calmed down now that I can just throw it to Melo.” 「跟他們打球我的出手選擇就會變好了阿，阿冷靜下來把球都塞給Melo不就得了?」 : Eventually, Baron Davis will be healthy and take the point-guard role. : Shumpert could shift to shooting guard in place of Fields. Or he could become : the energetic sixth man the Knicks so desperately need. 最後BD終將會占掉PG的位置，IMan應該會變成SG把Landry Fields擠掉。或者他也可能會 成為尼克急需的，充滿激情的第六人。 : Fans see a star on the rise. D’Antoni sees a rookie who needs room to grow. : “We just got to go a little slow,” he said. “I know New York’s not great : at that. But we got to go a little slower and make sure that he’s cool and : keeps progressing his game forward.” 芸芸們看到了巨星的誕生。冷笑話則是看到了一個有進步空間的菜鳥。 「我們只是要稍微冷靜一點啦。我知道芸芸們總是很不冷靜，但我們真的需要稍微慢一點 ，確定IMan很ok同時持續進步。」冷笑話表示。 : Whatever the role, Shumpert is eager to fill it, while 19,763 frantic fans : chant his name: an enduring tribute to the man who drafted him before Garden : politics chased him away. 不管要打PG SG還是第六人，IMan 都想要打十個!! (後面有點看不懂...Garden politics 指的是甚麼呢?) -- 第一次在這裡翻外電，請多多指教>< --
