[外電] 降低KOBE的上場時間? 用說的倒是很容易~
Almost every Lakers coach has said it since 1996, with the exception of Del
Harris. He was lucky enough to get a young, vibrant Kobe Bryant.
從1996年後的每一位湖人教練幾乎都說過這種話，除了Del Harris，他很幸運
當時的KOBE年輕又有活力。
Phil Jackson, in his second tour with the Lakers, wanted to limit Bryant's
playing time. So does current coach Mike Brown. Rudy Tomjanovich might have
wanted the same thing too, but his tenure was, uh, a little short.
Phil在他第二次出任湖人教練後也說過一樣的話，現在的MB也是。
喔對，Rudy Tomjanovich可能也會這樣說 -- 如果他待得再久一點點的話。
Lakers coaches say they want to curb Bryant's chances of injury and stress on
a now-34-year-old body that has logged 51,166 career minutes. They often
can't deliver.
對於一位34歲，職業總出場時數達到51,166分鐘的球員來說，教練都會希望可以
減少他的上場時間以免受傷。但他們總是做不到。
Bryant is averaging 37 minutes a game in four games this season, above his
career average of 36.5.
這四場比賽，KB的平均出場時間是37分鐘，比他生涯平均的36.5還高。
"The one thing I want to try to really do is be conscious of Kobe's minutes,"
Brown said Tuesday.
"我很努力地去注意Kobe的上場時間。"
MB星期二這麼說。
Here we go again.
然後還是一樣。
"He's the one guy that I know I don't want to play that many minutes," Brown
said. "Pau [Gasol] and Dwight [Howard], obviously where they are in their
career, for those guys to play 36 minutes, 37 minutes at times, that's OK."
"我不想要讓他打那麼久。"
"Gasol和Howard現在正值壯年，他們一場打個36~37分鐘倒是沒甚麼。"
Here's the problem: Bryant has been stellar this season, averaging 26.8
points, five rebounds and three assists, all while fighting a foot injury and
shooting 59.7%, impressive accuracy for a guard. It's hard to ignore those
numbers for a team still seeking an identity.
問題是，Kobe目前表現得太好了。在腳傷的影響下繳出26.8PPG、5RPG、3APG還有
59.7%的超高命中率，這可是一個後衛的數據呢。當這支球隊還亂成一團尚未證明
自己時你實在很難去忽視這些數據。
Another issue: The Lakers' bench has been awful. Brown doesn't really have a
choice.
另外一個問題，湖人的板凳表現得太爛了，MB實在是沒甚麼選擇。
Jodie Meeks was brought in via free agency to be Bryant's backup. He is
averaging two points. Small forward Devin Ebanks has shifted to shooting
guard sometimes this season. He is shooting 18%.
Mees以自由球員的身分來到湖人當KB的替補，但他場均只有兩分。小前鋒的Ebanks
這季有時候會調去打SG，嗯他的命中率是18%。
It's gotten so bad that Metta World Peace has had to log time at backup
shooting guard.
現在要MWP偶爾去打SG真的不是甚麼好事。
Brown seemed to draw the line Tuesday, well aware that Bryant played 43
minutes Friday in a 105-95 loss to the Clippers.
在上禮拜五湖人輸給快艇那場比賽，MB似乎劃下了一條底線。
"Even if it has a chance to cost us, I'm not going to throw Kobe out there
for 43, 44 minutes just to win a single game during the year," Brown said.
"即使讓Kobe上場有機會扭轉戰局，我也不想要讓KB一場打個43~44分鐘就為了
在贏一場季賽。"
MB說。
Brown could always study Jackson's ability to limit Bryant to 33.9 minutes a
game in 2010-11, though it mostly had to do with Bryant's troubled right knee
that season.
MB可以學Phil在10-11球季是如何讓KB場均時間只有33.9分鐘。
那季KB的右膝傷勢還蠻嚴重的。
Bryant did not practice Tuesday, part of his ongoing attempt to appease the
strained right foot he sustained during exhibition season. It hasn't affected
his play, and Bryant said Tuesday he was about 90% healthy.
Kobe星期二沒有來練習，很有可能是因為熱身賽就困擾著他的右腳傷勢。
但這似乎沒有很嚴重，Kobe說他的傷已經好了九成。
For the record, Bryant said he would be fine with the increased playing time.
老樣子，Kobe認為增加上場時間影響不了他甚麼。
"I'm physically able to play a big bulk of minutes. I'm in really tip-top
shape, so my body can handle that," he said. "But if I don't need to play
that many minutes, all the better."
"我的體能狀況應付的來。"
"但如果可以少打幾分鐘，這樣也不錯。"
Kobe說。
Bryant's not alone. In fact, the average minutes for four Lakers starters
read like a countdown: 38 (Gasol), 37 (Bryant), 36 (Howard) and 35 (World
Peace).
這狀況不只在Kobe身上，湖人的先發出場時間幾乎都跟他差不多。
Gasol(38) Bryant(37) Howard(36) MWP(35)
The reserves would be easy to blame again, though the starters were culpable
too, Gasol said.
Gasol認為這現象當然可以責怪一下替補，但先發也該負些責任。
"The better the starting five starts playing, the more the minutes are going
to down overall," said Gasol, whose average career playing time is 36 minutes.
"當先發在場上打得越好，他們在場上自然不需要待太久。"
Gasol這麼說，他生涯平均出場時間是36分鐘。
Then he added, "We're going to get better."
接著他補上一句，"我們會越打越好的。"
CNN Turkey?
A report from CNN Turkey said Bryant would play until he was 40. Bryant
chuckled at it.
之前CNN的報導說Kobe會打到40歲。
Kobe的反應很好玩。
"Playing until I'm 40 is not beyond the realm of possibility," he said.
"There's always YMCA games, there's always pickup games. I'll probably be
playing as long as I'm living."
"打到40歲當然有可能啊。"
"有那麼多YMCA的比賽，誰隨便約我一下我就可能去打個籃球。我只要還活著
應該就會一直打籃球吧。"
Bryant is under contract with the Lakers for one more season after this one.
Kobe跟湖人的合約只到明年球季而已了。
