Knicks, Wizards Eliminated from Playoff Contention After Hawks' Win over Cavs
ERIN WALSH
The New York Knicks and Washington Wizards have been eliminated from playoff
contention following the Atlanta Hawks' 131-107 win over the Cleveland
Cavaliers on Thursday.
尼克跟巫师在今天老鹰以131比107击败骑士后，从季后赛竞争行列从遭到淘汰。
Washington sits 12th in the Eastern Conference with a 33-43 record, while New
York is 11th with a 34-43 record.
The 2021-22 campaign has been a highly disappointing one for the Knicks, who
reached the playoffs last season after finishing fourth in the Eastern
Conference with a 41-31 record.
巫师目前排名东区第12，尼克则为第11。
New York had high hopes this year after adding Evan Fournier and Kemba Walker
before the season and trading for Cam Reddish in mid-January. However, none of
those additions have worked out.
尼克开季时本来受到高度期待，季初加入了Fournier跟Walker，季中换来Reddish。
然而却是徒劳。
The Knicks and Walker agreed last month to have him sit out the remainder of
the season due to ongoing issues with his knee and his subpar performance
through 37 games. He was averaging 11.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists
before being shut down. It had been his worst season in the league.
Walker在尼克出赛的37场比赛，场均11.6分、3.0篮板以及3.5助攻。
这是他生涯最惨的一个赛季。
As for Fournier, he is also in the midst of a subpar season, averaging 14.3
points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists through 75 games. For comparison, he
averaged 17.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists during the 2020-21 campaign
.
Fouriner一样表现不优，场均14.3分、2.6篮板以及2.1助攻。
对比去年平均能攻下17.1分、3.0篮板以及3.4助攻。
Reddish, meanwhile, has seen minimal time on the court since being acquired
from the Hawks. So he's not as much to blame for the team's lack of success
this year.
In addition, Derrick Rose, the team's starting point guard, has appeared in
just 26 games this year. He underwent surgery on his ankle and hasn't played
since Dec. 16.
Reddish来尼克后上场时间比在老鹰还少。
另外主力控球Rose本季仅出赛26场比赛，就去开刀了，从12/16以来就没打过比赛了。
As for the Wizards, this season has been similarly disappointing after they
reached the playoffs during the 2020-21 campaign. Washington traded Russell
Westbrook to the Los Angeles Lakers during the offseason in exchange for
Montrezl Harrell, Kyle Kuzma and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Harrell, however,
is now with the Charlotte Hornets
The Wizards also signed Spencer Dinwiddie over the offseason, but he struggled
with the franchise and ended up being traded to the Dallas Mavericks at the
deadline.
巫师一样令人失望，上一季巫师有打进季后赛。
季前加入了Kuzma、KCP、Harrell跟Dinwiddie，后两者在季中分别交易至黄蜂跟独行侠。
And much like the Knicks, Washington is also missing one of its best players
in Bradley Beal, who is out for the season after undergoing season-ending
surgery to repair a torn ligament in his wrist.
With both teams now officially eliminated from playoff contention, they can
focus on ways to improve their squads entering the 2022-23 season.
跟尼克类似，巫师少了他们最棒的球员Beal，在动手术后这赛季就报销了。
两队现在可以好好准备明年赛季了
<心得>：
想到开季的时候，Beal曾经喊恐怖巫师，结果现在连附加赛都没得打了。
Beal跟Rose真的是两队进到季后赛的关键。
