Surging Lakers take Kwanzaa break 洛杉矶伤兵队将在Kwanzaa节休息一下 On the day after their rousing victory over the Phoenix Suns on Christmas Day, the Lakers took Wednesday off to celebrate Kwanzaa. 湖人在圣诞节的胜利後，选择在Kwanzaa节庆祝一番。 After playing eight games in 13days, the Lakers have only threegames in a 10-day span. It offers them a chance to rest and recover after moving within onegame of the Pacific Division-leading Suns thanks to ninewins in their past 11 games. 在接下来的10天，湖人只有3场比赛。这给了湖人一个很好的休息机会。 Kwame Brown could be back on the floor Friday against the Utah Jazz, having recovered from sprains of his left knee and ankle that forced him to sit out 19games. Kwame 很有可能在对上爵士的时候上场。他已经休息了19场。 Luke Walton also could return to the lineup after missing the past two games after aggravating a nagging sprain of his right ankle. Luke也有可能会回来。 That could mean bad news for upcoming opponents since the Lakers have been winning consistently without being at full strength. The Lakers face the Jazz on Friday, and then play the Boston Celtics on Sunday to close out the 2007 calendar year. 对於湖人接下来的对手可以说是"S级妖怪"。(塞尔提克　爵士) Although they continue to seek a steadier game, the Lakers expressed a certain degree of contentment after defeating Phoenix. 虽然他们还在寻找一个最稳定的胜利方程式，但击败太阳後湖人显得很满意。 "I think our defensive pressure is really what keeps us consistent," Kobe Bryant said. "Defensively, we are able to do some pretty good things. Rebounding the ball, we're pretty solid there. Offensively, it's just (a matter of) keeping our rhythm going and knocking down shots when they present themselves. Kobe：防守压力，巩固篮板，进攻节奏，投进篮框。 "I think defensively is where we've really kind of turned the corner." Kobe：防守让我们从绝处逢生。 (Master Card: Defense => Priceless) It seemed odd to suggest such a thing after giving up 115 points to the Suns, but Bryant had a point: the Lakers denied Phoenix the sort of extended runs that prove devastating to opponents. "We just played better defense (than the Suns)," center Andrew Bynum said. "They played great defense, too, but I think they only scored 40 points in the second half, which is pretty low for them." 让太阳拿下115分说防守好看起来好像怪怪的，但是Kobe老师要讲话了。 Kobe：我们摧毁了他们创造进攻机会的跑动。 Bynum：我们的防守做得比他们好，虽然他们也不错，可是他们在下半场只拿了40分。 The Lakers actually outscored the Suns 60-53 in the second half Tuesday. 的确，下半场比数为60-53。 "We are quick," forward Lamar Odom said. "We feel we can match up with any team in the NBA. We can go with a big lineup or a small one. Our 12 guys can hit shots. Basketball is fun right now when we play like this." Odom：我们很快(队友：囧)，我们感觉到可以跟任何一支队伍抗衡，无论是 　　　身材高大的或是比较矮小的球队。我们12金钗都可以进球，当我们有这样的表现， 　　　篮球就变得很好玩～。 However, Odom cautioned against expecting a changing of the guard atop the Pacific Division. Despite the Lakers' 2-0 series lead over Phoenix this season, Odom remains wary of the Suns. 虽然对上太阳，湖人拿下了2-0的季赛成绩，可是Odom还是提醒大家不可以对这只 太平洋龙头掉以轻心。 "They have the upper hand," he said after scoring 15 points and grabbing 14 rebounds Tuesday. "They've beaten us twice in the playoffs. That's a team that's going to get better and better as the season goes on. They are looking forward to playing for a championship, so we have to be prepared when we see them again." Odom：他们还是占尽优势的，季後赛他们击败过我们两次。一支球队是要越来越好。 他们正寻求总冠军，所以我们还是要准备再见到他们。 Center of attention 中锋消息 It's no coincidence that Bynum has either tied or broken his career high for scoring three times in the past nine games. The Lakers have exploited their low-post dominance by feeding the ball to Bynum more often than in the past. 在过去9场比赛，Bynum平或破生涯得分新高了三次。这不是巧合！湖人开发了 他们在低位的统治能力，比以前更常喂球给Bynum。 Bynum is averaging 12.5 points this season. Bynum本季得分平均12.5pts。 "Phil Jackson is making a point to look at the post," Bynum said, referring to the Lakers' coach. "As long as they look, I'm going to get some (points)." Bynum：Phil在这个位置有一些看法，所以当他们在看，我就给他们要看的。 注：Kwanzaa：东非语为"收获"之意。非裔美国人在庆祝的节日，但不是源於非洲。 　　　　　 是一个加州州立大学长提分校(真巧＝　＝我哥读那)的教授 　　　　　　 Maulana Karenga为了让非裔美国人有机会聚在一起所设立的节日。 整个活动长达一个星期(Dec 26th~Jan 1st)，最高潮的一天为31th。 补个官方影片给大家 Practice 12/27/2007 内容：Phil talks/ Ariza talks http://blip.tv/file/get/Lakersdotcom-1227PracticeReport439.flv -- 惊! 下次再让天气变冷我就开枪 ○）/ ﹃＿○ / <\︵ |) / /\ --
