先来看看Matchroom Pool的原文吧：

Statement: It is our priority to follow UK Government guidance for the safety of everyone involved in our events.

Unfortunately, due to a possible exposure to the COVID-19 virus, Earl Strickland has had to withdraw from the Mosconi Cup, in line with UK Government rules.

Matchroom are disappointed at this news, but we must follow government legislation on contact cases and self-isolation.

Former 5-time Mosconi Cup and USA Captain Jeremy Jones will therefore replace Earl Strickland.

大概意思就是说我们万众期待的莫斯考尼杯美国队传奇史翠南的回归泡汤了。由于同一班飞机上有乘客确诊，史翠南作为新冠密接者，不得不接受隔离。客场作战，没有办法派出增援的情况下，残阵出征的美国队只能派出老队长杰雷米·琼斯顶替。虽然也是一代名宿，不过莫斯考尼杯可不是元老赛，可以说美国队彻底完蛋了。

此前，史翠南还宣称，自己参赛并非作秀，而是早已经做好了出战准备。不过意外总是来得这么突然，仅仅过了两天，就被送进去隔离了，等他出关之日，或许就是美国队抱头痛哭之时。毕竟就凭这套阵容，要想抗衡强大的欧洲银河战舰，唯一的途径就是做梦。

不过还是要预告一下，第28届莫斯考尼杯今夜2点开打，请锁定《中国体育》zhibo.tv“绅派老刘”直播间。
