New York Knicks wing Mikal Bridges is one of the NBA's true ironmen, often
leading the league in games and minutes played. That's why it was strange to
see Bridges on the bench for most of the fourth quarter in a back-and-forth
Knicks victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday afternoon.
尼克隊側翼球員Mikal Bridges（大橋）不僅是聯盟最耐操的鐵人之一，還不時稱霸最多
出賽場數與最長出賽時數的冠軍。也因此，看到上週五尼克在季中杯逆轉擊敗黃蜂隊的
比賽，大橋卻在第四節大多時間坐板凳這件事，會令紐約籃球圈感到相當訝異。
New York coach Tom Thibodeau went with Miles McBride for most of the quarter
because he felt the Knicks were "stuck in the mud" on offense. Thibodeau also
referenced McBride being "fresher" and that the Knicks sixth man was "making
shots".
尼克隊總教練Tom Thibodeau（老席）那天決定把知名度比較低的Miles McBride在第四
節上場多數時間，因為他感覺當時球隊的進攻「堵住了」。老席也認為擔任尼克隊第六人
的McBride，是一個更有新鮮感與能「產出有效投籃」的角色。
For his part, Bridges agreed that his coach "made the right decision".
Bridges put it on himself to make sure he's on the floor during crunch time.
大橋接受訪問時，同意教練在當時「做了正確的決定」。他並補充他會以此事作為動力，
使自己在後續球賽的關鍵時刻能留在場上。
"I got to play better. I’ve been inconsistent," Bridges said. "I’ve had some
games where I’ve played good, some I haven’t. Just got to find a rhythm
within the team. That’s pretty much it. Not even 20 games in, still just trying
to figure it out."
大橋表示：「我應該要打得更好，因為我最近的確不夠穩定。在過去的球賽，有些我打得
不錯，有些則沒有，因為我還在尋找最適合球隊的節奏，這就是我的職責。不過20場比賽
看來還不夠，所以我還在繼續找。」

心得：同樣是尼克隊的新鮮人，Towns算是漸入佳境，大橋倒是聲勢跟去年比越來越薄弱
