The league has to name an injury replacement for Yao Ming. 聯盟籃板王還有最後的機會。聯盟還未決定姚明的替補。 TORONTO - So many others -- outraged Charles Barkley included -- were surprised when Western Conference coaches left Timberwolves forward Kevin Love off the list of NBA All-Star Game reserves announced on Thursday night. 對於Love沒有出現在全明星賽替補名單上很多人感到意外，包括老巴， Just don't count Love among them. Love不在名單之一。 "I've been better," he said, "but I wasn't very surprised." "我一直表現出色，"Love 說，"我感到非常意外。" Love said he learned after Wednesday's home loss to Memphis that he probably wouldn't be included when the East and West reserves were announced during TNT's Thursday night NBA coverage. "I truly and firmly believe in my heart that, solely on play alone, I should have been in there," he said. "說真的，就算只看個人數據，我也應該在名單內。" Love表示 Coaches considered other factors -- namely winning -- when they cast their ballots for players in their own conferences, and this year Western Conference coaches chose, among others, San Antonio's Tim Duncan, the Los Angeles Lakers' Pau Gasol and Los Angeles Clippers rookie Blake Griffin. 替補名單的選擇也許和球隊戰績有關。西區教練選了馬刺的Duncan，湖人的Gasol以及 快艇的新秀Griffin。 They did so despite Love's historic individual statistics that Wolves coach Kurt Rambis has called "ridiculous" and Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant termed "video-game numbers." 他們並沒有正眼看一下Love的個人數據，教練Rambis表示這是"可笑的"。 Love has reached double-digit figures in points and rebounds in 34 consecutive games, a streak that began on Nov. 22. Before that, he became the first NBA player since Moses Malone in 1982 to reach 30 points and 30 rebounds in a game, which he did against New York on Nov. 12. 本季連續34場得分籃板兩雙。28年來第一為但場30-30的球員。 His 15.5 rebounding average leads the NBA by nearly two boards a game. Orlando's Dwight Howard is next at 13.6 a game. 場均15.5籃板，領先第二名Howard場均13.6個籃板近兩個。 But it was one other number that influenced the coaches' vote more than any other: 11, which is how many times the Wolves have won. 另外一個西區教練們考慮的點:11。灰狼目前的勝場。 "When it comes down to it, the 11 with the 36 or 37 behind it, that kind of killed me," Love said. "We know why I didn't make it ... I know winning plays a big factor. I didn't want to be too upset. I'm not too bitter about it." "考慮這點，特別是在36或37勝之後的11勝，對我當然不利。"Love表示。"我們都知道這 是為何...我也知道球隊戰績很重要。我不想要太過失望。我也不想要過分的覺得這不公 平。" Now he waits for NBA Commissioner David Stern to decide who will replace injured Houston center Yao Ming, who was voted the West's starting center by fans. 等Stern決定是否有機會能替補姚明上場。 Love's last chance to play in the All-Star Game on Feb. 20 in L.A. depends upon Stern's decision. The NBA said Thursday there's no definitive timetable for Stern to make that decision. "We'll just have to wait and see," Love said of Stern, who must also consider Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge and the Lakers' Lamar Odom, among others. "No matter how you get in, it doesn't matter. If I make it that way, I still feel like I'm very deserving." He's not alone. On TNT, Barkley called the decision to exclude Love "a travesty" and said he was "so mad right now" he wasn't sure if he could finish the show. Love said his phone and Twitter account were "blowing up" Thursday night with messages from friends, family and fans. "I know I've had a ton -- a ton -- of support, maybe more so than others have had in the past," Love said. "I'm happy and thankful for that." Love said there is good in Thursday's announcement. "The good thing is, it'll put a chip on my shoulder and make me work harder," he said. "It's not going to hurt how I play or how I approach things. It's only going to make me work harder, to make myself better, to make our team better. It's only going to make me more hungry." --
