Nets: Martin's a star; Marbury isn't
馬丁成為全明星，馬布理卻沒有

After stuttering his way through grammar school,
being ignored by college recruiters in high school and
having the offensive side of his game continually questioned in college and
the early parts of his pro career, Kenyon Martin made his first All-Star team
as a reserve yesterday.

在歷經了初中時講話結結巴巴(馬丁曾經有過言語障礙)，在高中時代又被大學球探所忽視
，在大學與職業生涯初期又因為攻擊籃框的能力被人所疑問，K-MART終於在昨天以替補的
身分入選了第一次的全明星。

And, no, it's probably not going to remove the tree-sized chip from his
shoulder. That's just part of what makes Martin who he is.
But for a guy who has battled his way through all that,
plus a couple of broken legs, being able to represent the Eastern Conference
at the All-Star Game in Los Angeles on Feb. 15 will be sweet vindication.

然而，這或許仍改變不了K-MART好勇鬥狠的個性。這種個性已成了K-MART的一部份。
但對於過去的不受重視，再加上一雙曾摔斷的雙腿，能在2004/2/15於LA的全明星賽
代表東區明星隊出賽將證明了當初NETS以第1順位選擇K-MART是一個正確的選擇。

"It's a great thing," said Martin, the Nets' leading scorer.
"I'm excited, obviously. It's something we all wanted and
have been waiting for."

目前暫居籃網得分王的馬丁說，這當然是一件很棒的事情。我當然很興奮。這是我們等待
已久的事情。

Across the river, guard Stephon Marbury,
who has led the Knicks' resurgence since his trade from the Phoenix Suns,
shrugged off his snub.

在河(River Hunson)的對岸，自從被太陽交易至尼克後就帶領尼克中興的後衛Marbury則
對本身的被冷落不以為意。

"Hey, that's what they felt like was supposed to be,"
Marbury said before last night's game against the Indiana Pacers at
Madison Square Garden. "All I can do is go out and play,
and I've been doing that, so it wasn't meant for me.
I felt like I was supposed to be on the team, but things you can't control,
you can't get mad over. If it rains outside, I can't get mad over the rain.
So I just let it be."

在主場迎戰溜馬隊之前，Marbury說：嘿，這只是那些東區教練所認為的事情。我所能做
的就是上場打球，而且我已竭盡所能的打球，所以不能入選全明星對我而言一點意義也沒
有。雖然我覺得我應該入選全明星隊，但有些事情是你無法控制的，你不需對那些事情抓
狂。如果外面下雨的話，我不會對此抓狂的。我會順其自然的。

Marbury will attend All-Star weekend to participate in the NBA's Sports Skills
Challenge, which was won by Nets guard Jason Kidd last year.

Marbury將參加全明星周末的"nba運球技巧比賽"，去年由kidd隊長贏得這項比賽。

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle, who will coach the Eastern Conference All-Stars,
thought Marbury was hurt by his move from the Western Conference to
Eastern Conference.
뜊溜馬的教練Carlisle，做為東區全明星隊的教練，認為從西區被交易到東區在某種程度
上傷害了Marbury。젊(待續)
