NBA 2009 Preview: Los Angeles Lakers 洛杉磯湖人09前瞻來源︰ http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=10022 By: Eric Pincus Last Updated: 9/19/08 12:57 PM ET Who We Like 我們尬意誰 1. Kobe Bryant Obviously the MVP is the cornerstone of the franchise. He's coming off one of his best seasons but still stings from the loss in six games to the Boston Celtics. If his teammates can take on a great offensive role, Bryant should be able to both bring his Team USA doberman-like defense and close out games with his unique arsenal of offensive weapons. This is the year for Bryant to establish his legacy by leading the team to a title. 很明顯的，那位 MVP 是球隊的基石，他剛結束生涯中最好的球季之一，但六場輸給波士頓的傷害仍在；如果他的隊友能很好的承擔進攻的角色， Bryant 應該能拿出他在美國隊那種獵犬一般的防守，以及以他獨一無二軍火庫般多樣的進攻武器來鎖定勝利。這是 Bryant 能夠帶領球隊拿到冠軍盃，奠定歷史地位的一年。 2. Andrew Bynum Before he got hurt, Bynum's growth was exponential. As the season progressed he began to look dominant. He still needs to cultivate his low post game but his potential is off the charts. If he can stay healthy, he's arguably a top four or five center. In the 35 games he did play last season, he averaged 13.1 points on 63.6% shooting, 10.2 rebounds and 2.1 blocks. Perhaps even more significant was his 2.8 personal fouls spread out over 28.8 minutes a game. Foul trouble is often the weakness of a developing big but Bynum's body control keeps him on the floor. 在受傷之前， Bynum 的進步是成指數成長，隨著球季的進行，他看起來越來越有宰制的能力。他還需要培養低位的能力，但他的潛力極佳；只要保持健康，他可以說是前四或前五位的中鋒。在上一季出賽的35場比賽裡，他每場可以以 63.6％的命中率拿下 13.1 分、 10.2 籃板以及 2.1 阻攻；也許更令人在意的是，在他平均上場的 28.8 分鐘內只有 2.8 次犯規。犯規麻煩常是成長中的大個子的通病，但 Bynum 控制身體的能力能讓他待在場上。 3. Pau Gasol The Lakers' midseason blockbuster acquisition played out of position at center – but it was enough to help catapult them to elite status. Against the Celtics, going against the likes of Kendrick Perkins and Kevin Garnett – Gasol's weaknesses were exposed. He lacks the body to establish and hold position in the post against stronger, meatier players. This coming season he should get most of his minutes at power forward while spelling Bynum at center. Together the two should be able to play to their strengths. Gasol also proved to be an above average post defender against the likes of Carlos Boozer of the Utah Jazz, Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs and Garnett of the Celtics. At center Gasol was a major boost to the club – at his natural position he should be even more effective. 湖人季中在中鋒位上大豐收--但還不夠推送他們登頂。在對賽爾提克的系列中，當對手是像 Kendrick Perkins 以及 Kevin Garnett 這樣的人物時， Gasol 的弱點一覽無遺；他缺乏體格在低位與更壯碩的對手要位以及保持位置。這季與 Bynum 在中鋒位置輪替時，他大部分時間都會待在大前鋒，如此這兩人應該都能發揮他們的長處。 Gasol 也證明了他是一位水準之上的低位防守者，尤其是對過猶他爵士的 Carlos Boozer 、馬刺的 Tim Duncan 以及賽爾提克的 Kevin Garnett 後。對球隊來說，有 Gasol 在中鋒位已經是一大利多--當回到他天生的位置後，應該會更有影響力。 4. Sasha Vujacic There's something to be said for confidence. Vujacic is a happy shooter. If he gets the ball, it's all but going up. While that might be a liability in most cases, Vujacic shot 43.7% from three-point range last season. Because he's so quick and accurate with the shot, teams must take him as a serious threat. The Lakers will need shooters to spread the floor and Vujacic could get major minutes if he can be even more consistent than he was a year ago. That could mean minutes alongside Bryant in the back court – or as LA did last year, Bryant could slide up to small forward. Vujacic just got a $15 million, three-year deal from the Lakers. If he earns his money, the Lakers will be very hard to beat. 這裡要談的是自信。 Vujacic 是一位快樂的射手，只要他拿到球就是要飆。在大部分的情況下，這都算是讓人信賴的決定，尤其是 Vujacic 上季三分球命中率有 43.7％的水準。由於他出手又快又準，對手必須認真對待他。湖人需要射手去拉開空間，而 Vujacic 只要能比去年更穩定就能得到大量的上場時間；這可能代表他會得到更多時間與 Bryant 同掌後場--或像去年洛杉磯做的那樣， Bryant 可能會拉到小前鋒的位置。 Vujacic 剛從湖人拿到他三年一千五百萬鎂的合約，如果他能拿出相對應的能力，那湖人將非常難被打敗。 5. Phil Jackson Let's not forget Phil Jackson who is coming off of his 11th NBA Finals appearance as a coach. Injuries left the Lakers overmatched against the Celtics - but this coming season he should have a powerful combination of players to work with. He'll be asked to reintegrate Bynum, converting Gasol to power forward and Odom to small forward – all while harnessing/empowering Bryant's overwhelming talents. If he can get the team to make defense a priority, the sky is the limit. 別忘了這是 Phil Jackson 第十一次在總冠軍賽亮相。傷病讓湖人不敵賽爾提克，但本季他將有強而有力的球員組合可以運作。他將被要求要重新融合 Bynum ，讓 Gasol 轉移到大前鋒而 Odom 到小前鋒，而且這些還必須在能合理駕馭並解放 Bryant 快要滿出來的才華的情況之下。如果他能讓這支球隊建立起防守第一的信念，那天空才是他們的極限。 Strengths 優勢 The Lakers have an impressive starting five. If Gasol and Bynum develop chemistry together both offensively and defensively, look out. Odom is a natural "do everything in the background" type and at 6'10" – he'll be the shortest member of the front court with the two seven footers. Over the course of a game, Odom can spell Gasol at the four – Gasol can move up to center. 湖人有強悍的先發，如果 Gasol 與 Bynum 能在攻守兩端都有化學反應，那其他隊就要小心了。六呎十的 Odom 是一個典型的"默默的什麼都做"的球員--與另外兩個七呎長人搭配起來，他將是前場最矮的成員。在比賽當中， Odom 也可以代打四號位--讓 Gasol 可以打到中鋒。 Kobe Bryant is Kobe Bryant. 而 Kobe Bryant 就是 Kobe Bryant 。 Derek Fisher brings leadership and a steady outside stroke. Off the bench the Lakers have two strong contributors at guard in Jordan Farmar and Vujacic. Forward Vladimir Radmanovic offers another look in the front court with his ability to shoot the ball. Trevor Ariza brings athleticism and defense off the bench. If Luke Walton can get his ankle healthy, the team has another playmaker and (sometimes) low post option to work with. Derek Fisher 能提供領導能力以及穩定的外線冷箭。板凳上有兩位重要的替補後衛 Jordan Farmar 以及 Vujacic ；前鋒 Vladimir Radmanovic 以他的投球能力將替前場提供另一種選擇； Trevor Ariza 將從板凳提供運動力及防守。如果 Luke Walton 能保持他腳踝的健康，他們將有另一個攻勢發動機，以及（偶爾的）低位能力。 The Lakers have size, length, quickness, athleticism, depth and experience. They have arguably the best player in the league in Bryant and one of the most successful coaches in NBA history. 湖人兼有體型、身高、速度、運動力、深度以及經驗；他們也有可以說是聯盟最佳球員 Bryant 以及聯盟史上最成功的教練之一。 If they're healthy, it could be LA's year . . . 如果他們能保持健康，今年可能就是洛杉磯的本命年。 Weaknesses 弱點 It was apparent against the Celtics last year that the Lakers lacked toughness, especially defensively. The last game of the series was a disaster as the team shrunk in the moment. Obviously the reinsertion of Bynum will make a difference, but is it enough? 在去年對抗賽爾提克的過程中，湖人很明顯的不夠強悍，特別是在防守上。那系列的最後一場比賽，當他們在瞬間崩解後只能說是一場災難。 Bynum 的回歸很明顯的會有所不同，但這足夠嗎？ Health is certainly a concern. If Bynum, Gasol and Odom stay healthy the team should flourish but if any of three goes down the Lakers have limited depth at the four and five. 健康絕對是重點，如果 Bynum 、 Gasol 以及 Odom 能保持健康，那他們將有所收穫；但如果這三個任何一人倒下，那湖人在四五號位的深度有限。 The Lakers struggled at times with their perimeter defense. Ariza showed signs of solving that problem but he missed a lot of time with a foot injury last season. Sasha Vujacic improved defensively but has to mature and develop. Bryant's defense comes and goes – often depending on how much energy he's expending offensively. Where the team struggles most is when opposing teams have more than one dynamic perimeter scorer. 湖人有時外圍防守會出問題， Ariza 看起來是這個問題的解答，但他上季自從腳傷後已經錯過了大量的比賽； Sasha Vujacic 的防守有進步但還需要更成熟； Bryant 的防守時有時無--大部分取決於他花多少力氣在進攻上。最讓他們掙扎的是當對手有不只一個有活力的外圍得分球員的時候。 The issue may be solved with Ariza (and Bynum) returning. 這個問題在 Ariza （以及 Bynum）回歸後可能可以解決。 The Coach's Take 自以為教練的想法 Does anybody realize what a monster year Andrew Bynum was having before he got hurt? His return will give us a potentially dominant front line, and will allow Pau and Lamar to go back to their finesse games. Kobe will lead, and I like Farmar as a starter and D-Fish off the bench to strengthen that group that did not produce in the Finals last year. I would like a ring for each finger and thumb, and the Mamba and I think we have the team to do it. --- Mike Moreau 不知道有沒有人了解在受傷前， Andrew Bynum 有著怎樣野獸般的一年？他的回歸將會給予我們的前線潛在的統治性，而且讓 Pau 及 Lamar 回到他們最有技巧的位置。 Kobe 仍然會領導他們，而且我喜歡 Farmar 做為先發，讓 Fisher 從板凳出發，以強化去年總決賽並沒有發揮的那一群。我希望能在每一隻手指上都帶上冠軍戒指，而 Mamba 跟我都認為我們擁有可以達到目標的團隊。 The Burning Question 最關鍵的問題 Will the frontcourt of Bynum, Gasol and Odom work? 由 Bynum 、 Gasol 以及 Odom 組成的前場是否有用？ On paper it's certainly intriguing. The Lakers have great size, rebounding and passing in what could be a truly unique frontcourt. It may be unstoppable. Equally, the Lakers may find problems with the mix. Can teams out-quick LA by going small? Can Lamar Odom, who has played power forward for nearly his entire career with the Lakers, defend at small forward? 從名單來說，這絕對令人感興趣，湖人有絕佳的體型、籃板優勢以及傳球組成的獨特前場；他們可能難以被擋下。同樣的，這個組合也可能會為洛杉磯帶來困難。其他球隊是否可以以快打慢、以矮打高？在湖人幾乎都在打大前鋒的 Lamar Odom 是否可以守到小前鋒的位置？ Odom has really thrived off of playing close to the basket, rebounding and initialing the offense on the run. To date in the moments he did play the three, it seemed harder for him to fit on either side of the ball. He's not a great outside shooter which could be a problem if teams leave him to crowd the big men in the paint. Can he stick to explosive scoring threes like Celtics' guard Paul Pierce? 不論是在靠近籃框的情況、抓籃板、還是發動快攻， Odom 都發揮得非常好；但當他打到三號時似乎有點難以在攻守兩端融入。他不是個好的外線射手，這尤其在其他隊放他去包夾禁區長人時會是個問題；他是否能像賽爾提克的後衛 Paul Pierce 一樣用三分給對手難看？ Ideally Bynum will play in the low block and Gasol up high. It's not a lock that it will work. Gasol has a decent midrange shot but he is better closer to the basket. 理想上 Bynum 將會在低位而 Gasol 在高位，但這並不保證會行的通。 Gasol 有著不錯的中距離，但他離籃框近的時候更好。 Defensively teams may beat all three down court in transition. There has been some talk of Odom coming off the bench in a sixth man role with possibly Trevor Ariza or even Vladimir Radmanovic starting at the three. The first option will likely be to true the big front court and adjust if it's not working as well as hoped. 防守上，對手可能在攻守轉換間就把這三人幹掉。有傳聞說 Odom 將從板凳以第六人出發，而以 Trevor Ariza 或 Vladimir Radmanovic 當三號先發；第一種選擇對於組成高大的前場來說比較有可能，而且在預期中也比較能在出問題時調整。 The team isn't too worried - Coach Jackson has enough talent to work with. Even if Bynum, Gasol and Odom don't quite mesh perfectly – there are other options. A low priority could be trading Odom and his expiring contract midseason – although that's not what the team intends to do moving forward (at least at this point and time). The team is facing some difficult financial decisions as their payroll could balloon to over $100 million (including luxury taxes) once new contracts/extensions kick in next year. For now, Odom is the guy – and the Lakers are counting on him rising to the occasion. 他們其實並不太擔心--總教練 Jackson 手下有足夠的才華讓他發揮；就算 Bynum Gasol 以及 Odom 並沒有融合的很完美，他們還有其他選擇。在季中有很低的可能性會交易掉 Odom 以及他的到期合約--雖然這並不是他們要向前進刻意要做的事（至少在目前的時間點來說）；但當他們在明年要簽新合約或延長合約時，總薪資很可能會破億鎂（加上豪華稅），讓他們面臨財務上困難的抉擇。不過至少以目前來說， Odom 還不會走--而且湖人希望在這樣的情況下他能奮起。 In the meantime, if the Lakers remain healthy - they should be primed for another deep, playoff run with a legitimate shot a title. 同時，只要湖人能保持健康--他們應該能再次在季後賽走得很遠，並且有爭奪冠軍的機會。 -- 世界籃球討論板 12 國家體育場汗水, 鬥志, 膽識 9 PttBasket 籃球 Σ籃球/台灣籃球/美國職籃/相關討論 1 basket_ptt *THM Σ主題樂園 5 worldbasket 籃球 ◎世界籃球錦標賽和聯賽討論板 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.229.33.209
