挺進季後賽,小甜瓜安東尼能否力挽狂瀾?

The New York Knicks have dealt with adversity on the court and off of it during this disappointing season. But for one night, trouble was averted when Carmelo Anthony hit a jumper with 0.3 seconds to play to give the Knicks a 110-109 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

在這個令人失望的賽季中，紐約尼克斯面臨着不少球場內外的困境。但一個晚上，當卡梅隆-安東尼終場前0.3秒命中一個跳投，尼克斯110-109戰勝費城76人，麻煩也就避免了。

New York nearly blew a 17-point lead against a Philly team playing its second game on back-to-back nights without Joel Embiid, its best player. Had Anthony missed the shot, the Knicks would have fallen behind the Sixers into 13th place in the East.

紐約隊差點在費城76人隊背靠背的第二場比賽中領先17分的情況下被翻盤，而且76人隊最好的球員沒有喬爾-恩比德沒有上場。如果安東尼投籃不中，尼克斯就落後76人隊，掉到了東部第十三的位置。

Even with Saturday's win, it's unlikely that the Knicks make the playoffs (they're 4.5 games out of eighth place with 23 games to play). But the season essentially would have been over Saturday if Anthony had missed the shot

即使星期六取得了勝利，尼克斯進入季後賽也不太可能，（他們與第八位有4.5勝場差，還剩23場比賽）。但是如果安東尼投籃不中的話，這個賽季基本上沒可能進入季後賽了。

Instead, the Knicks can continue to pursue their implausible playoff push.

相反，尼克斯可以繼續追求他們的令人難以置信的季後賽。

"We're still trying to win games," coach Jeff Hornacek said afterward, a quote that won't sit well with some Knicks fans who want to see the team tank for better draft position.

“我們仍然在努力贏得比賽，”主教練傑夫-霍納塞克賽後說。一句話，一些希望獲得更好選秀位置的尼克斯球迷恐怕就要擔憂了。
