the Lakers simply want to win the NBA championship. 湖人只是想贏得總冠軍，就這麼簡單。 EL SEGUNDO – Derek Fisher took a long moment to consider the question. His answer was obvious, but still he contemplated what it meant to play the Orlando Magic in the NBA Finals and not LeBron and Co. or to not be able to avenge last season's Finals loss to the Boston Celtics. Fisher花了挺長一段時間考慮這個問題。他在思考總決賽面對魔術意味著什麼，而不是去打LeBron跟他的騎士，也不能復仇波士頓塞爾提克了。 The seconds ticked away. 時間一分一秒過去了。 "It doesn't have (written) who I played against on any of my rings," Fisher said of the world championship Lakers teams on which he played. "It says 'World Champions' — that's it. I feel very good about the three (rings) I have, and if I get a fourth one, I will feel very good about that one as well." 「總冠軍戒指上並沒有寫對手的名字」，Fisher談到總決賽對手時說，「上面只是寫著[ 世界冠軍]。已經有3枚戒指我很開心，如果能拿到第4枚的話，我會更高興的。」 There it is. Sure, the Lakers have concerns about how to stop Dwight Howard and defend against the Magic's bevy of 3-point artists. But in the end, it doesn't matter to them who else will be on the court Thursday at Staples Center. 對了，湖人肯定是在擔心怎麼阻止Howard跟外線那群三分射手。但實際上，對手是誰沒什麼，重要的是湖人要打出自己的水平。 The Lakers, who own home-court advantage in the series, simply want to win the NBA championship, and the accompanying ring and banner would be nice, too. "The team right now is hungry and focused," Pau Gasol said after Sunday's film session and light practice. "Last year, we were just excited to be in the Finals. This year, it's like 'OK, we're in the Finals. Let's get it done. Let's get to work.' It's a big difference." 湖人擁有總決賽的主場優勢，他們的想法也很簡單，就是贏得總冠軍。當然，能拿到一枚戒指跟那面總冠軍旗幟也很好。「球隊現在處於飢餓的狀態，精神也很集中」，週日看完錄像，一些簡單的訓練後Gasol說，「去年打到總決賽我們都很興奮。今年我們顯得平靜多了，這是很大的區別。」 Last season, the Lakers were beaten by the Boston Celtics, who polished their 17th Larry O'Brien Trophy with a 39-point victory in Game 6. The Lakers repeatedly have talked about their desire to return to the Finals and a chance at redemption. 上賽季，塞爾提克擊敗了湖人，在第6場比賽中用一場39分的勝利拿走他們球隊的第17做奧布萊恩杯。湖人已經多次提到了他們有多麼強烈的渴望想要回到總決賽並拿回總冠軍。 "Last year everything was new to me, I had never been in that situation," said Gasol, who joined the Lakers at midseason last year. "And I was all excited and going through the motions. "This year, we are on a mission. We've been on a mission all year long, and I think we have the toughness and aggressiveness starting with me and other guys, too." 「去年什麼對我來說都很新鮮，那是我第一次進入總決賽」，Gasol說，他上賽季中段加盟了湖人，「我當時很興奮，持續了整個系列賽。但今年，我們要完成自己的使命，一個已經努力的一整年的使命。我們有足夠的強硬，有侵略性，我很其他人都這樣。」 Coach Phil Jackson, who owns nine championship rings, said redemption has fueled this season's march to the Finals, a path that hasn't always been smooth. The Lakers, who finished with the second-best record in the league behind the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers, needed five games to eliminate Utah, seven games to beat Houston, and then six games to stop Denver. 有著9個總冠軍的Jackson教練提到，「救贖」這兩個字已經給這條並不平坦的總冠軍之旅加滿了油。雖然本賽季在騎士之後拿到聯盟第2好成績，湖人花了5場比賽淘汰爵士，7場才打敗火箭，然後用了6場比賽停止了金塊隊前進。 Now, they must face Orlando, which beat Philadelphia, Boston and Cleveland to get here. 現在要面對的是，連續淘汰76人，凱爾特人和騎士的魔術了。 "The struggle makes you tougher and it brought us together," Gasol said. "The teams we faced exploited our weaknesses and the cracks we might have defensively, but we did a good job defensively in figuring it out. We attacked back and were able to win the series." 「困難讓我們更強硬同時也變得更加團結，」Gasol說，「我們的對手利用了我們在防守上的弱點和縫隙，但當我們解決了防守上的問題後，我們反擊，並最終贏得比賽。」 Jackson said the Lakers initially must figure out how to stop Howard, who has averaged 21.7 points and 15.4 rebounds in the playoffs, and the rest of the Magic's post players. Jackson說到，湖人的重中之重就是想辦法阻止在季後賽中場均21.7分，15.4個籃板的 Howard，然後還有魔術的其他球員。 "We're a long team," he said about watching the Magic's Game 6 victory Saturday against Cleveland. "We have lengthy defenders who can guard Hedo Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis, but I don't know who can guard this big kid if he's this physical. Howard is a real powerhouse down inside." 「我們有身高，」看完魔術、騎士的第6場後Jackson說，「我們有高個子防守球員去跟防 Turkoglu和Lewis，但我們實在想不出來有誰能防住如此強硬的Howard。他在內線真的是能力無限。」轉自：http://www.kobechina.com.cn/thread-59931-1-1.html -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.104.236.50
