“I’ve been on bad teams before, New York Knicks aren’t one”: Austin
Rivers explains how Julius Randle and co are much more competitive in 2020-21
Austin Rivers解釋為何Julius Randle以及核心球員本賽季更加有競爭力：「我以前待過
爛隊，現在的尼克不是。」
Austin Rivers praised this year’s New York Knicks and claimed they aren’t a
bad team unlike last year’s squad, or those from the past 7 seasons.
小河流讚美今年尼克的表現，說今年的尼克不像去年的隊伍，或者說不像過去7年的尼克。
After 8 games, the New York Knicks are well above .500 with a 5-3 record
after their win over the Utah Jazz last night. The Knicks are currently the
5th seed in the East. They have the same record as Giannis and the Milwaukee
Bucks.
今年目前打了8場比賽，尼克勝率遠超過五成，昨天打敗爵士後，目前戰績5勝3負，目前東
區排名第五，跟字母哥的公鹿戰績相同。
The Knicks have been playing as though they want to make the Playoffs or at
least the play-in tournament. At the moment, it seems as though the tanking
days are behind the Knicks.
尼克現在打的像是他們想打進季後賽，或者至少想打季後挑戰賽的樣子。目前看起來，擺
爛搶樂透的日子像是已經過去了。
With a young core comprised of RJ Barrett, Mitchell Robinson, and Obi Toppin,
led by Julius Randle, the Knicks seem to be a formidable opponent. Head coach
Tom Thibodeau is known for pushing his players to win games and not tank.
有著Julius Randle率領RJ Barrett，Mitchell Robinson跟Obi Topping組成的年輕核心，
現在的尼克似乎像是個可敬的對手了。總教練Tom Thibodeau以促使球員贏球，而不是擺爛
坦為人所知。
With wins over powerhouses such as the Milwaukee Bucks, Utah Jazz, and the
Indiana Pacers, the Knicks seem to be building up confidence in themselves.
The Knicks’ newest offseason signing Austin Rivers took to his postgame
interview to talk about their recent successes. He said, “I’ve been on bad
teams before, this is not one, I can promise you that.”
在打敗一些像是公鹿，爵士，溜馬等強隊之後，尼克似乎開始建立了自信心。尼克在休賽
季簽下小河流，而在賽後訪問時，小河流講到球隊最近的成功，他說，「我以前待過爛
隊，現在這隊不是，我可以跟你們保證。」
He continued on by saying, “I don’t know where we’ll end up. There’s so
much work to do, but I know the spirit is different. This is not that Knicks
team y’all have been covering.”
他接著說，「我不知道最後結果會如何，我們還有很多工作要做，但是我知道現在球隊精
神態度是不一樣的，這跟你們之前一直以來所報導的尼克是不一樣的。」
