INDIANAPOLIS - The Warriors got away with one Tuesday, and they know it.
The second unit allowed a 28-point lead to shrink to 16 in the opening six-plus
minutes of the fourth quarter, forcing interim head coach Luke Walton to
reinsert his starters into the game.
对溜马第四节的比赛还剩下六分钟时从28分领先被缩小到分差距迫使Walton换上了先
发阵容
Less than five minutes after the first unit's return, All-Star shooting guard
Klay Thompson sprained his right ankle and limped straight to the bench and
then off to the locker room.
在剩下不到五分钟时, KT扭伤了右脚踝
X-rays in the bowels of Bankers Life Fieldhouse were negative, and Thompson
said he believes he'll be able to play Friday in Boston, where the Warriors
play the sixth game of the two-week, seven-game road trip.
X光显示没有问题, KT表示能出赛周五对波士顿的比赛
"I'll be all right," said Thompson, who scored 39 points on 10 three-pointers
during the Warriors' 27th straight win. "Luckily, it's not a bad sprain or
anything. It's just going to be sore for a couple of games, but I should be
back in no time."
KT表示很幸运的不是很严重的扭伤, 应该能马上回来
Still, the potential disaster wasn't lost on the Warriors. Backup point guard
Shaun Livingston personally apologized to Thompson for not putting away the
game and letting the starters sit out the fourth quarter.
替补的后卫Livingston对KT第四节得加班导致受伤表示道歉
"That's frustrating," Livingston said. "I always take that to heart, because
I'm one of the leaders of the second unit that is trying to put away leads.
Especially when you have to put starters back in and a guy goes down. To me,
that's on the second unit.…
Livingston表示身为替补阵容中的Leader之一, 无法维持领先导致首发阵容回场上
还受伤感到很揪心
"I take that personal. The starters did their jobs. They should have rested
that fourth quarter, and it's on us to hold down the fort."
"这是我的责任, 先发阵容做好了他们的工作, 他们应该第四节打卡下班了, 而我们的
工作就是接手在第四节上班"
Thompson said that Livingston "told me he's got to be better, and I told him not to
worry about it. They were great for us the other night, and it's a team game."
KT表示让Livingston不用太担心, 他们在其他晚上做的很好了, 这是个团对比赛
Already missing starting small forward Harrison Barnes, who will be out until
at least next Wednesday's home game against Phoenix, Walton wouldn't even
anticipate the lineup changes that will be necessary if Thompson misses time.
因伤休养的Barnes最快下周三能出赛对太阳的比赛, 而Walton在KT确认伤势前
还没打算改变先发阵容
"First, we're going to wait to find out if Klay is out or not before we start
spending time thinking about that," Walton said. "Luckily for us, we have two
days off before our next game. There's plenty of time to sit down and think
about rotations and lineups. That won't even start until we hear back about
how bad Klay's ankle or foot is.…
很幸运的有两天的休息能够调整, 在确定KT伤势前不会有其他改变
"It's bitter because Klay sprains his ankle in a game that we felt we had
control of, and if we get out to a better start in the fourth, we don't even
have to get him back on the court.
很可惜的是KT在不必要上班的第四节不得以回场扭伤脚踝
"But it's a freak accident. Sprained ankles happen every game. People are
always getting hurt. It's no one's fault, but it does hurt to lose Klay,
especially when he's been playing so well lately."
扭伤脚踝这就只是个常常发生在比赛中的意外, 不是谁的错. 不过如果伤到了KT损
失很大, 尤其是他打得这么好.
