Knicks coach Mike Woodson put on his no-nonsense cap yesterday and warned if any player on his team is upset about playing time, they can write their ticket out of the Big Apple. Not only are the Knicks the only unbeaten team in the NBA at a stunning 4-0, they are also the deepest. The Knicks, off until Tuesday in Orlando, have unprecedented depth and the jostle for minutes will become extreme, especially when Amar’e Stoudemire returns in mid-December. It gets even worse when projected starting shooting guard Iman Shumpert returns in January. The crunch already began Friday night when center Marcus Camby’s season debut bounced 40-year-old power forward Kurt Thomas into a DNP. Thomas played all six preseason games, and even started. Thomas averaged 13.7 minutes in the first three regular-season wins. Though Thomas took his demotion with grace, Woodson fired a warning shot yesterday, perhaps trying to nip things in the bud before Stoudemire’s return. 尼克斯主教練麥克-伍德森昨天很嚴肅地對球員們說了一番話，警告隊員們要是誰對自己 的上場時間有意見，那就自動消失。目前4勝0負的尼克斯是NBA僅剩的一支未嘗敗仗的球 隊，他們的球員陣容極具深度，而且隨著12月中旬斯塔德邁爾的回歸，以及1月香珀特的 傷愈復出，球員輪換的難題會更棘手。 之前在尼克斯戰勝小牛的比賽中由於老將坎比的上場，使得另一位老將柯特-托馬斯全場 旁觀，而之前托馬斯在前面三場比賽場均有 13.7分鐘的上場時間，甚至季前賽他還曾首 發亮相，因此伍德森昨天的嚴令措辭顯然是為了防範於未然。 “My first speech when we finally had our team dinner before our camp, I told everybody they have to leave their egos at the door,’’ Woodson said. “If we ’re talking about trying to win a title and winning at a high level, winning our division and hosting the first round at home, you got to leave your egos at the door. “我的首次說話是在我們訓練營開始前的最後一次球隊晚餐，我告訴他們必須放下自 己驕傲的自尊心。如果我們想要去爭取總冠軍，想要贏得高水平的比賽，想要拿下分區冠 軍，想要獲得主場優勢，你必須放低自我。” “I’m not going to deal with guys with bad egos. If there’s a problem, they got to go. It’s been great so far and will continue to be great because the guys we have are true pros.” “我是不會和那些自尊心過重的傢伙一起共事的，目前我們的情況都很好，還要再繼 續保持下去，因為我們的隊員都是真正的職業球員。” “I don’t owe anybody minutes,’’ Woodson said. “I’m trying to win games. It’s all about winning. If he’s a true pro, which he is, it’s no biggie.’ ’ “我不會對誰的上場時間做出保證，我是要贏得比賽，一切都是為了勝利，只要他是 一個真正的職業球員，那麼就不會有問題。” “We didn’t talk about it,’’ Thomas said. “I’ve been playing this game a long time. I know we’re a very deep team. We have a lot of talent on this roster and we’re trying to work some guys in. Whenever [Woodson] is ready, he knows I’m ready to go. We’re deep. A lot of people think we’re old but we have a lot of guys who can get it done. Once Amar’e comes back, guys will have to adjust with minutes on the floor again.’’ “我們甚至都沒談過（上場時間）的事，”KT說，“我已經在聯盟裡打了很長時間了， 我知道我們是一支極富深度的球隊，有很多有天賦的球員，還有些球員要回來。只要（ 伍德森）準備好的時候，他也知道我就準備好了。我們有足夠的深度。很多人認為我們 老了，但我們有很多能解決問題的球員。阿罵回來的時候，我們樂意調整自己在場上的 比賽時間。” “The beauty about fielding all these veteran guys, they’ve got to be understanding, coachable and they are,’’ Woodson said. “It’s no biggie to Kurt. Kurt’s whole deal is, ‘I’ll be ready when you call me.’ That’s how it’s got to be with everybody. It’s not about getting minutes. It’s about what you do when you get them. He didn’t get them last night, but who knows? He could get them the next game.’’ “老將們的美好之處就在於他們都很明白事理，服從指示，對KT來說這根本沒什麼 。KT的反應只是'隨時靜候差遣'，每個人都應該這樣。這跟你有多少上場時間無關，這 只關乎你能做出什麼貢獻。他上一場沒打，但誰又曉得呢，說不定下一場他就上了。” ----------------- Don’t expect J.R. Smith to start complaining about his Sixth-Man role any longer Remember when he learned Mike Woodson didn’t look at him as a starter this season. Smith responded by saying, “Disappointing is an understatement. ’’ After a modest season opener after playing just once in preseason because of Achilles tendinitis, Smith is tearing it up the past three games, off the bench. Smith is averaging 17.5 points, second-highest on the club after Carmelo Anthony. Smith is also averaging 5.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists for the 4-0 Knicks, who play in Orlando tomorrow. 休賽季期間，JR-史密斯曾抱怨會在比賽中擔任替補一事。在得知主教練會安排他替補出 場後，史密斯曾表示“失望只是一種保守的說法”。 Smith should be a strong candidate for Sixth Man of the Year, something he scoffed at after learning his non-starter role during training camp. James Harden no longer is in contention. “It’s still early,’’ Smith said. “ Jamal (Crawford) is still frontrunner with the Clippers.’’ 不過本賽季至今，史密斯替補出場的表現非常出色，賽季至今，史密斯場均可以貢獻 17.5分5個籃板和3.3個助攻。如果史密斯繼續這樣的表現，他完全有能力競爭聯盟最佳第 六人的獎項。 “現在說這個還早，”史密斯說道，“快艇隊的賈馬爾(克勞福德)依舊是領跑者。” When Melo left with his fourth foul with 7:05 left in the third Friday vs. Dallas, Smith ensured the Knicks didn’t miss a beat, sparking the club with seven points in three minutes. 此前對陣小牛隊的比賽中，卡梅羅-安東尼在第三節還有7分05秒時因為個人第四次犯 規下場，而史密斯的存在讓尼克斯不至於群龍無首，他在三分鐘內得到了7分，幫助球隊 穩定了局勢。 “I’m loving it right now,’’ Smith said. “I’m playing my game with confidence. It was a chance to make plays for teammates. Coach is giving me a lot of opportunities so I love it.’’ “我現在很喜歡這個，”史密斯說道，“我打得很自信，這是一個可以給隊友創造機 會的機會。教練也給了我不少機會，所以我很喜歡這個角色。” Smith had a reputation for taking bad shots. He’s become a lot smarter this season. He realizes it’s his job to find people, his target being Steve Novak, one of his best friends on the team. 新賽季的史密斯打球更加聰明了，他的投籃選擇也更為明智了。另外，史密斯也認識 到他必須在場上尋找隊友，而他的目標就是其最要好的朋友之一——史蒂夫-諾瓦克。 “More than anything I have to make plays, not just score,’’ Smith said. “ Get rebounds, long rebounds and trying to get Novak going.’’ “最重要的還是要去組織比賽，而不僅僅是得分，”史密斯說道，“搶到籃板，然後 試圖把球交給諾瓦克。” 原文：http://tinyurl.com/aysnyqk http://tinyurl.com/a9xby86 翻譯：http://bbs.hupu.com/4590657.html http://bbs.hupu.com/4589415.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 武僧把拔好有威嚴 -- ─── ▊ ◣ [[ ◣ =◥" ◢ ． ∵ ◆]] ╱ ▁◥▼ ────────── ▊◢◤ ◣ ◥◥ ▂◤▊ ◥ ▂ ▼◢◤\ ◢▼ ▲Once a Knicks, ▊◤ ▊ ◥◣▊ ◢◤◥ ▊◢◤◢◤◥ ▼‵､ ◥ ◤◢ always a Knicks. ▊◥◣ ▊ ▊ ▊ ★ ▊◣ ◥◣ ─-.╳ ▲◤ ▲ ▊ ◥▎▊ ◤▊ ◥◣ ▊◥◣ ◣◥◣▲ ρ\ `,▼▼ ψsherry821224 ─── ◥ ◥ ◤ ◥ ◥ ◥ ◥▆ ◥ | ◢◢▲ ────────── --
