面具侠欧文 再痛也不能在女儿面前哭

Before Irving got fitted for his mask heading intoTuesday night's game against the Nets at theBarclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, his infantdaughter, Azurie, accidentally hit him in the face inthe spot where he suffered the fracture afterteammate Aron Baynes inadvertently elbowed himwhile going for a block on Hornets guard KembaWalker.

与黄蜂队的比赛中，欧文被当时试图封盖肯巴沃克的队友贝恩斯不小心肘击到脸部，导致骨折。周三晚上，欧文佩戴面具在巴克利中心出战与纽约布鲁克林网队的比赛。在此之前，他的小女儿不小心打到了他的脸部，刚巧打到受伤的部位。

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

“我用尽全力才没在她面前哭出来，我的天!宝贝，她正好打在我的受伤位置”欧文聊起女儿打到他的时候。

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

在双11那天，波士顿凯尔特人以90-87力克夏洛特黄蜂队，比赛第一节，欧文就遭受面部受伤。此后欧文休赛一场，周三晚上对阵篮网的比赛中，全明星后卫，凯利欧文脸上戴着闪亮的面具，复出登场。

"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 WiltChamberlain to Kobe Bryant, Richard "Rip" Hamilton and LeBron James have been required towear after suffering an injury to their faces.

赛前，欧文谈到保护性面具：“我讨厌戴面具，但是它总能在社交媒体和Instagram上引起骚动”。很多球员都曾佩戴面具出战，从威尔特·张伯伦到科比，汉密尔顿，詹姆斯，他们都曾在面部受伤后要求佩戴面具出赛。

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

“我明白这只是为了我的安全，所以我会戴着面具几个星期，打好比赛。”

Tuesday didn't mark the first time that Irving has had to take precautionary measures toprotect his face. On Dec. 14, 2012, back in the pre-James teammate days of his tenure withthe 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 theroad.

周三晚上并不是欧文第一次为了保护脸，采取谨慎保护措施，佩戴面具比赛，早在2012年12月14日，在没和詹姆斯并肩作战前，那时欧文还是骑士队的一员。欧文在与雄鹿队的比赛中，下巴受伤，一天后，20岁的欧文佩戴面具客场出战与纽约尼克斯的比赛。

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

欧文带伤出场得到全场最高25分，这不是像四年前他戴面具带领全队打出生涯高光时刻， 但是这一场，欧文带领着凯尔特人们取得了13连胜。

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

什么时候能结束戴面具的糟糕日子，去掉面具?谁知道呢?现在，让我们静静地欣赏这个戴着面具，迷人的欧文吧。
