Nets’ Kyrie Irving could make one-game cameo at NBA All-Star game
Kyrie Irving可能在NBA全明星赛中登场出赛
When the ballot for the 2022 NBA All-Star game is released, multiple sources
have confirmed to The Post that Kyrie Irving is expected to be on it.
That leaves open the possibility that the Nets star could make his first,
last and only appearance of the season in the All-Star Game. It’s unlikely
and seems crazy, which pretty much makes it par for the course with the way
Irving’s year has gone.
多位消息人士向纽约时报証实，KI会在2022年全
明星赛的票选名单中。若是顺利入选明星赛，此
战将成为KI本赛季的第一次也是唯一一次出赛。
虽然这件事听起来不太可能发生，但也很符合KI
今年给大家带来的惊喜。
When the NBA updated its All-Star voting process, all players on the rosters
were put on the ballot. Both league and team sources indicated that because
Irving is still on the Nets’ official roster — sent home but not suspended
— he won’t be an exception, despite not having played a second for the Nets
this season.
“We came into the season, we spent almost two weeks with a different team.
We lose Kyrie, now it’s a totally different situation,” head coach Steve
Nash said. “We’re just trying to build a new team and trying to work at it
with this group. It’s a big hole and everyone’s got to step up a level and
a notch in minutes and responsibility.”
联盟与球队的消息人士都指出，所有在球员名单
上的人都能参加明星赛的投票，而KI依旧是篮网
队的正式球员，虽闲置家中但没有被停赛，因此
即便KI今年完全没出赛也可以参加全明星票选。
Nash说了一些没有KI很艰难大家一起努力的话。
The league isn’t currently expected to take any unprecedented action to
stave off that possibility, though these are nearly unprecedented
circumstances.
If Irving does get voted on, one would have to go all the way back to 1992 to
find a situation even vaguely similar. Magic Johnson was forced to retire due
to HIV, but got voted into the All-Star game and had 25 points and nine
assists to earn MVP honors.
Irving’s case is a little different, but every bit as unique
目前联盟不会采取任何措施来避免这件事的可能
性，如果KI真的被选入明星赛，那也只有1992年
魔术强森因为爱滋病被迫退役，当年又被选入明
星赛并得到25分和9助攻还获得MVP这件事能和
这次KI事件找到些许相似之处。
KI人生虽然有些不同，但是情况更独特。
The 29-year-old has been point guard non grata due to his refusal to get a
COVID-19 vaccine. New York City mandates bar him from playing at Barclays
Center or the Garden until he relents. That seems unlikely to happen anytime
soon.
The Nets have shelved Irving and told him he can return when he’s “a full
participant” — either by getting vaccinated or the city lifting its
mandates.
KI因为拒绝施打疫苗而成为不受欢迎的控卫，除
非他的态度有所软化，否则纽约市的防疫规范会
持续禁止他在巴克莱中心出赛，不过KI似乎也不
会软化。篮网目前也决定放置play，他们对KI说
只有在KI能够全程参与时，才能回来参加比赛
