EL SEGUNDO
That offense has become something to behold.
他們的進攻很有看頭。
Smooth, versatile, explosive.
流暢,多才多藝,具爆炸力的。
The Lakers share the ball, use the whole floor, attack the lanes, hit net on
3s.
湖人很會傳球,利用空間,攻擊禁區,以及丟三分。
That defense has become a postseason work in progress.
但對於季後賽來說,他們的防守還要練。
It can look brilliant in stretches. Can frustrate the Denver Nuggets to
death, at times.
他們在戰況激烈的時候看起來棒極了,能讓丹佛金塊沮喪到要撞牆,但只是有時候。
It can also fade. Take a serious siesta here and there. Be slow to rotate,
fail to fill the lanes, to help, to simply play tight, in-your-face `D.'
這些都可能會消失。認真來說常常某些地方會消失不見,輪轉太慢,禁區沒人。你必須要
幫忙防守,就是認真點打,最重要的就是防守。
That will not get it done. It'll be enough to get past the Nuggets, so
defensively challenged they were second-to-last in points allowed this
season.
不防守就沒戲唱。可能不防守還可以過金塊這關,但想要走的更遠,真正對防守的挑戰還
在後頭。
But the Lakers have ambitions well beyond Denver, beyond the looming
second-round showdown with the Utah Jazz.
但湖人比丹佛更有野心,也比可能的第二輪對手猶他爵士更有野心。
These Lakers are allowing themselves to dream big, to dream of a trip back to
the Finals, of an NBA title.
湖人球隊都有一個很大的幻想,幻想他們能回到冠軍賽,拿到總冠軍。
Want to win, Lakers?
但湖人,你要拿什麼來贏?
Step up the defense. And do it consistently.
你必須要加強防守,並且持續。
At some point, it will be absolutely necessary.
在很多時刻,這是絕對必要的。
Count on it.
必須靠它。
"It always comes back to the defense over time," veteran guard Derek Fisher
said.
『最終都要回到防守。』經驗老到的後衛Derek Fisher說。
There are a limited number of teams the Lakers can plan on simply outscoring.
Can just overwhelm with their admittedly impressive offense.
很少球隊能讓湖人簡單的比得分就結束,能讓湖人以必須承認很好的進攻打敗。
If the Lakers should get past the Jazz, no certainty, it appears more than
ever they might meet up with the defending champion Spurs in the conference
finals. That would be the third-best defensive team in the NBA.
如果湖人能過了爵士那關,只是如果,那他們很可能會在西區冠軍賽碰到去年的總冠軍
馬刺。他們是聯盟防守第三好的球隊。
Should they actually advance to the Finals, they're expected to meet either
Detroit of Boston, the top two defensive teams in the league.
如果他們真的能進入冠軍賽,那他們很可能會碰到底特律或是波士頓,這兩名聯盟最會防
守的球隊。
These teams play great defense and the Lakers will need to also if they are
to emerge with that funky golden ball.
這兩隊的防守都極強,湖人如果也想拿起歐不來嗯金盃,那他們也必須要一樣。
"One-hundred percent yes," Pau Gasol said. "That's how you win games. That's
how you win championships."
『百分之百的正確。』Pau Gasol說。『那就是你如何能贏球,能贏得冠軍的關鍵。』
It's not like the Lakers are not capable of stepping it up. Of playing
lock-down defense. Of forcing their will upon opponents. Making a statement
not just with the dazzling slam dunks and rain of 3s, but of intimidating
defense.
湖人並不是做不到防守,或是意志力凌駕於對手。你必須做的不是那些華麗的灌籃或三分
雨,而是令人害怕的防守。
They've done it plenty of times. Have been absolutely impressive. Blocking
shots, coming up with steals, shutting down potent offensive weapons.
他們也曾做到過很多次,讓人印象非常深刻。蓋鍋,抄球,讓對手熄火。
But they tend to do it in spurts, and that's not the same as a true
commitment to defense. Not the kind they need to make.
但他們情願爾偶做做,那不是對防守的承諾,不是他們必須去做的。
This turn-it-on-and-off business flirts with danger and can come back to take
a large bite out of your playoff derriere.
那只是一時的激情,但這很可能會在之後的比賽被狠狠的咬一口。
Sometimes their defense is truly impressive.
有時候他們的防守真的很好。
Sometimes it's way too casual, too laid back.
但有時候又太隨意,太被動了。
"I think it's pretty good," Gasol said. "Sometimes we have little breakdowns.
We get a little comfortable because we have such a good offense, we rely on
it a lot.
『我想這還算可以。』Gasol說。『有時候我們打的比較輕鬆,因為我的的進攻很好,我們
依賴的就是它。』
"But our defense steps up when we need to. We really dig in and get a lot of
stops. We get the stops when we need them. If we can keep it more consistent
for a longer period of time, we will be very hard to beat."
『但是當有需要的時候我們會防守,我們會認真起來並阻止對手,只要我們有需要。如果
我們能更持續的防守更長的一段時間,要打敗我們會非常的困難。』
Absolutely. If the Lakers can get their defense to approach the current level
of their offense, they can dream as grand as they want.
完全正確。如果湖人的防守能接近他們進攻的等級,他們愛怎麼幻想就怎麼幻想。
The Nuggets make judging the Lakers' defensive performance a precarious
undertaking. They are a non-traditional team that goes pedal-to-the-floor
offensively, and gambles plenty defensively.
金塊證明了湖人的防守很不穩定。他們是支非傳統的球隊,他們就像腳踏風火輪的進攻,
而且常常賭博性的防守。
They play a ridiculous amount of one-on-one basketball with stars Allen
Iverson and Carmelo Anthony. They offer matchup problems and force some
uncommon defensive strategies.
他們用Allen Iverson以及Carmelo Anthony在太多毫無道理的一對一處理上,他們經常
有錯位的問題造成一些不常見的防守策略。
Yet they play so loosey-goosey that they invite turnovers, almost promise
rewards for unswerving defense.
他們很歡迎失誤,不過只要你防守夠堅定就會得到成果。
But playing defense, much like rebounding, is largely about a commitment,
about an attitude.
但是防守就像抓籃板一樣,是很需要承諾以及態度。
Twelve of the top 13 defensive teams this season made the playoffs. It's not
coincidence, it's evidence. It's a veritable clich : defense wins
championships.
本季前13支最會防守的球隊有12支進入季後賽,這不是巧合,這是證據:防守才能贏得總
冠軍。
"Absolutely," said Kobe Bryant. "We understand if we want to get to the
ultimate goal, we have to defend. That's something we've really been focusing
on.
『當然。』Kobe Bryant說。『我們知道如果我們想要達到最終的目標,就必須要防守。
那是我們真的很專注的東西。』
"We're doing a pretty good job I think. The tempo of this series is obviously
different, but all and all, I think we're doing a pretty good job."
『我想我們做的還不錯。這系列的節奏很明顯的不同,但不論如何,我想我們做的還算
不錯。』
The Lakers are passing the ball so well right now - they have 66 assists on
92 field goals in the first two games against Denver - that they can probably
continue the way they're going and advance into the second round for the
first time in four years.
湖人現在非常會傳球,在頭兩場對丹佛的比賽中,92次命中有66次由助攻產生。他們很可
能會在四年內第一次進入第二輪。
But if they want to go deep into this postseason, a marvelous offense won't
be enough. The playoffs will demand that the Lakers emerge as a stellar
defensive team.
但如果想在季後賽走的更長,非凡的進攻是不夠的。季後賽需要湖人成為一支很會防守的
球隊。
"That always rears its head at some point," Fisher said.
『有時候你只能這樣做。』Fisher說。
It takes will, takes a committed team. Without it, a team is just a glorified
version of the Nuggets.
這需要意志力,需要球隊做出承諾。如果沒有,那這支球隊只是美化過的金塊。
The Lakers might not have a traditional center in Gasol, but he's a true
presence in the middle. They have the pieces necessary. Now they just have to
get it done beyond simple stretches.
湖人可能沒有一個傳統的中鋒,但Gasol仍然在禁區有實質的嚇阻力。他們已經有了所有
該有的拼圖,現在他們只需要把它拼好。
對不起,這篇也沒有很實際的講到哪裡該改進。
它沒有講是我的錯,
我以為它會講是我的錯,
昨天太晚睡是我的錯,
我家旁邊電子花車一直吵也是我的錯,
全都是我的錯~
(我真的真的沒有在婊誰)
