The Times spoke with three NBA insiders — one Western Conference executive, one
Western Conference scout and one Eastern Conference scout — to get their initi
al reactions on the matchup and which team has the edge. They spoke on condition
of anonymity since they are not authorized to speak publicly on such matters.
紐約時報訪問了三位NBA內部人士——一位西區球隊的高層、一位西區球隊的球探、以及另
一位東區球隊的球探，以獲取他們對比賽的初步評價，哪支隊伍更有優勢的看法。由於他們
未獲授權在此類事項上公開發表意見，因此要求匿名。
“I think it’s going to be really entertaining. Two really, really good teams p
laying,” the West scout said. “I think I favor the Warriors, but it’s which s
tyle of play works. I don’t think [Kevon] Looney has the same kind of impact ag
ainst Anthony Davis as he did against [Domantas] Sabonis. … The Lakers will wan
t to play a little slower, walk it up more. They don’t shoot nearly as many thr
ees. It’ll be whose style wins out.”
西區球探說：我認為這將會非常精彩，兩支非常優秀的球隊將進行比賽，我更傾向於勇士，
但關鍵在於哪種打法會更加有效。我認為盧尼對戴維斯的影響不會像他對多小薩的影響那麼
大。湖人會想要放慢節奏，打得更保守。他們的三分球投籃次數不如勇士多。勝負將取決於
誰的球風能勝出。
The West executive said he favors the Warriors in a tight series.
西區球隊高層則表示他看好勇士在一場系列賽中勝出。
“I was watching Golden State-Sacramento, and I was thinking if Sacramento wins,
the Lakers beat them, I think for sure, because of the experience. You saw that
in Game 7,” the executive said. “But if the Warriors won, I felt like they’d
beat the Lakers for the same reasons. Their experience. Bron is Bron. I get it.
But they’re [Warriors] a well-oiled machine.”
我看了勇士對國王的比賽，如果國王贏了，湖人肯定會擊敗他們，因為湖人有更豐富的經驗
，這在第七場比賽中就可以看出來。 但如果勇士贏了，我覺得他們也會以同樣的理由擊敗
湖人，他們有更為豐富的經驗。 勒布朗還是勒布朗，我明白這一點。 但他們（勇士）是一
支默契十足的球隊。
The biggest challenge for the Lakers will be slowing Curry, who delivered a hist
oric 50-point game to close out the Kings in Game 7 on Sunday. The West scout ex
pects the Lakers to try Jarred Vanderbilt on Curry as the team used him on Ja Mo
rant in the first round.
湖人面臨的最大挑戰是要如何限制咖哩的發揮，咖哩在周日的第七場比賽中交出了創紀錄的
50分表現。 西區球探預計湖人隊會派出范德比爾特去防守咖哩，就像他們在第一輪系列賽
中派范德比爾特去防莫蘭特一樣。
“I think Vando is a big part of it,” the West scout said. “I thought he was a
big part of the first-round series. … He’s so good, long and disruptive — hi
s length and his ability to move. It’s just another body you can throw at him.
… But nobody really guards Steph.”
我認為范德比爾特是防守咖哩的一個關鍵人物。他在第一輪系列賽中扮演了重要角色……他
擁有具有威脅性的身材和能夠靈活移動，范德比爾特是湖人隊防守咖哩的選項之一......但
是實際上沒有人能真正防住咖哩。
The East scout agreed.
“I think you’ve got to mix it up a bit, you have to impact the ball,” he said
. “The bigs have to be up and committed and also challenging shots. Vanderbilt
can guard guards on the perimeter as good as any big in the league.”
東區球探表示同意：我覺得你必須改變防守策略，要讓你的防守更有威脅力，讓對方球員受
到影響。需要有身材高大的球員上前防守、干擾投籃。范德比爾特在外線防守控衛方面不遜
於聯盟中的任何一位長人。
Everyone agreed that Davis is the Lakers’ biggest weapon, his ability to domina
te against Golden State’s lack of size and depth is a pathway for the team to a
dvance.
大家都同意戴維斯是湖人最強的武器，他在對上金州勇士這樣身材和深度不足的對手時，他
的統治力是球隊晉級的關鍵。
“The way he played the last game is the way he’s capable,” the East scout sai
d of the closeout win against the Grizzlies. “I think he’s the biggest advanta
ge.”
東區球探在談論對陣灰熊的終場戰時說：他上一場比賽的表現展現出他的實力，我認為他是
球隊最大的優勢。
The best arguments for the Lakers include some version of Davis dominating and t
he team’s role players hitting shots and competing on defense, not unlike the m
oments Rui Hachimura, D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves had in the first round
.
湖人最好的策略就是讓戴維斯主宰比賽，而且球隊的角色球員必須在進攻和防守方面表現出
色，就像第一輪比賽時八村、Dlo和AR等人的表現一樣。
Having James is a big help, too.
“I do think the mentality of the team … Bron’s on a thing,” the West executi
ve said. “He’s always looking at legacy. If he can take this seven seed and wi
n a championship, that’ll rise him up above the rest. … You’ll get a motivate
d Bron. A motivated AD. And if Russell and those guys make some shots, that’s a
n advantage.
當然，詹姆斯的存在也是一大幫助。
我認為球隊的心態很重要，西區主管表示詹姆斯一直在追求卓越的職業生涯。如果他能帶領
這支第七種子的球隊贏得冠軍，這將提升他在球壇的地位。你會看到一個充滿動力的詹姆斯
和戴維斯，而如果Dlo和其他球員能投進一些球，那就更有優勢了。
But he’s the X-factor. Bron’s got to be Bron, but he’s got to do it for the s
even games.”
While some around the league have wondered about Darvin Ham’s ability to make t
he right adjustments in big moments as a rookie head coach, the East scout said
he was impressed with how the Lakers handled the Grizzlies.
“I think Darvin Ham proved himself, winning on the road [in Game 1], getting th
ose guys to bounce back after losing Game 5,” he said. “You have to give him c
redit for navigating a tough regular season and then getting a new group at the
trade deadline, figuring it out and then winning a series as an underdog.”
但他是關鍵因素。詹姆斯必須表現出自己的風采，但他必須在這七場比賽中做到這一點。
儘管聯盟中有些人對作為新手教練的哈姆在關鍵時刻做出正確的調整能力有所懷疑，但東區
球探表示他對湖人如何應對灰熊印象深刻。
他說：我認為哈姆證明了自己，他在客場（第一場比賽）獲勝，在輸掉第五場比賽後讓那些
球員反彈回來。你必須承認他在艱難的例行賽中前行，更在交易截止日後領導新陣容解決問
題，成為了一支弱旅贏得系列賽的關鍵。
Ultimately, though, the Warriors’ championship pedigree is why the West scout f
avors the Warriors in the series — even if James knows the Warriors as well as
anyone.
“It is certainly always an advantage to have LeBron James in a playoff series,
” the West scout said with a laugh. “And he’s the guy who has faced the Warri
ors more than anybody, and he’ll be able to call out what they’re trying to do
.
“But it’s one thing to hear it and talk through it and another to feel the lan
dslide like the Kings did on Sunday.”
然而，西區球探仍然看好勇士能夠在系列賽中取勝，這是因為他們擁有總冠軍的實力，即使
詹姆斯對勇士的了解程度超過任何人。
“在季後賽系列賽中擁有勒布朗·詹姆斯肯定是一個優勢，”西區球探笑著說道，“他是那
個對陣勇士最多的人，他可以指出他們嘗試做什麼。
“但只是聽聽並討論是一回事，感受到像國王在週日那樣的失控則是另一回事了。”
