面具俠歐文 再痛也不能在女兒面前哭

Before Irving got fitted for his mask heading into Tuesday night's game against the Nets at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, his infant daughter, Azurie, accidentally hit him in the face in the spot where he suffered the fracture after teammate Aron Baynes inadvertently elbowed him while going for a block on Hornets guard Kemba Walker.

與黃蜂隊的比賽中，歐文被當時試圖封蓋肯巴沃克的隊友貝恩斯不小心肘擊到臉部，導致骨折。週三晚上，歐文佩戴面具在巴克利中心出戰與紐約布魯克林網隊的比賽。在此之前，他的小女兒不小心打到了他的臉部，剛巧打到受傷的部位。

"I did my absolute best not to cry in front of her. I was like, 'Oh, my goodness, baby,' " Irving said of the moment with his daughter. "She hit me right on that spot.”

“我用盡全力纔沒在她面前哭出來，我的天！寶貝，她正好打在我的受傷位置”歐文聊起女兒打到他的時候。

After missing one game with a facial fracture that he suffered in the first quarter of the Boston Celtics' 90-87 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Nov. 11, All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving returned to the hardwood on Tuesday night against the Brooklyn Nets with shiny plastic strapped to his visage.

在雙11那天，波士頓凱爾特人以90-87力克夏洛特黃蜂隊，比賽第一節，歐文就遭受面部受傷。此後歐文休賽一場，週三晚上對陣籃網的比賽中，全明星後衛，凱利歐文臉上戴着閃亮的面具，復出登場。

"I hate wearing it, but somehow it's caused a craze on Instagram as well as social media," Irving said before the game of the protective mask that countless NBA players from Wilt Chamberlain to Kobe Bryant, Richard "Rip" Hamilton and LeBron James have been required to wear after suffering an injury to their faces.

賽前，歐文談到保護性面具：“我討厭戴面具，但是它總能在社交媒體和Instagram上引起騷動”。很多球員都曾佩戴面具出戰，從威爾特·張伯倫到科比，漢密爾頓，詹姆斯，他們都曾在面部受傷後要求佩戴面具出賽。

"I understand that it's just for my safety, so I throw on the mask for a few weeks and go about my business."

“我明白這只是爲了我的安全，所以我會戴着面具幾個星期，打好比賽。”

Tuesday didn't mark the first time that Irving has had to take precautionary measures to protect his face. On Dec. 14, 2012, back in the pre-James teammate days of his tenure with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Irving broke a bone in his jaw in a game against the Milwaukee Bucks. A day later, the then-20-year-old donned a mask while facing the New York Knicks on the road.

週三晚上並不是歐文第一次爲了保護臉，採取謹慎保護措施，佩戴面具比賽，早在2012年12月14日，在沒和詹姆斯並肩作戰前，那時歐文還是騎士隊的一員。歐文在與雄鹿隊的比賽中，下巴受傷，一天後，20歲的歐文佩戴面具客場出戰與紐約尼克斯的比賽。

Irving fought through the pain for a game-high 25 points. It wasn't the career night that he pieced together while masked four years ago, but Irving led the Celtics to their 13th consecutive win.

歐文帶傷出場得到全場最高25分，這不是像四年前他戴面具帶領全隊打出生涯高光時刻， 但是這一場，歐文帶領着凱爾特人們取得了13連勝。

As for when he'll be able to bump that Future and take his "Mask Off?" — who knows? Until then, let's revel in the fact that there's just something about Kyrie Irving, in New York, rocking a mask.

什麼時候能結束戴面具的糟糕日子，去掉面具？誰知道呢？現在，讓我們靜靜地欣賞這個戴着面具，迷人的歐文吧。
