After a momentum-boosting win against the Nuggets at home on Sunday, the Lakers head to San Antonio for part one of the Texas two-step tonight. AT&T Center has historically been one of the toughest arenas to win in–especially if you’re the Lakers. 假如湖人在输给太阳之前还没有预想到的话，那现在这支球队应该要了解，轻松的赛程已 经正式结束了。在周日主场振奋人心的战胜金块队後，湖人即将飞往客场进行德州二部曲 的首战-圣安东尼奥马刺。AT&T中心是历史上最强悍的主场之一，特别是来访的还是湖人 的时候。 The last time Kobe and Co. faced off against the Spurs, they were without two of their biggest weapons–Tim Duncan and Tony Parker. San Antonio still managed to put up a valiant fight though, losing by five 102-97 despite an obvious lack of offensive punch. In their first meeting on Nov. 13, the Spurs manhandled the Lakers, showing what they’re capable of when at full strength. However, San Antonio has lost all five games this month against teams over .500 and suddenly looks more vulnerable than it has in years. As will be the case until Andrew Bynum returns, the Lakers need someone else besides Kobe to step up. Against Denver, Derek Fisher and Jordan Farmar carried that torch in a balanced effort the Lakers need to repeat if they hope to beat the Spurs. 上一次对战，Kobe带领队友对抗缺少了Duncan及Parker的马刺队。但在那场比赛马刺仍旧 奋勇对抗湖人，在缺少一些攻击活力之下，只以97-102小输五分而已。在湖人与马刺的在 去年11/3的第一次交手里，马刺轻松写意的解决湖人队，展现他们当时完全的实力。不过 ，马刺最近对上胜率超过五成的球队却吃下了五连败，而且比往年看起来稍微脆弱了些。 对湖人来说，到Bynum回来之前，必须有人协助Kobe一起扶助湖人队。与金块的比赛中， Fisher和Farmar双双跳出来扛住了湖人队的火力，如果湖人接下来要击败马刺队的话，他 们必须要寻求同样的表现才行。 Friday’s battle against Dallas presents a new kind of enemy for L.A. as the team has yet to face the Mavericks this season. After a slower than expected 12-8 start, the Mavs have rebounded nicely, compiling a 27-13 record that is good enough for fourth best in the conference, one half game behind the Lakers heading into the game against the Spurs. 周五对抗小牛的战役，则是本季湖人本季第一次面对的敌人。小牛在开季差强人意的12-8 後，最近已经开始展现反弹的力道，目前战绩已经来到27-13，是整个西区第四佳的成绩， 目前仅落後湖人半场胜差，领先马刺也为半场。 Many questioned how Dallas would respond this season after losing in shocking fashion to the Golden State Warriors in last year’s playoffs. However, after a slow start of his own, perennial All-Star Dirk Nowitzki has responded well, averaging over 22 points and almost nine rebounds a night. 小牛在去年季後赛震惊的输给第八种子金州勇士後，本季小牛要如何回应去年的处境仍处 於不确定的状态。不过开季短暂低潮後，小牛全明星级战将Dirk Nowitzki最近开始回复 战力，每场可攻得超过22分拉下近9个篮板球。 Before embarking on the mini road trip, Coach Phil Jackson said the team’s goal was to win one of the two games and to remain close in the other with a chance to steal a second game. With the team still rediscovering its identity after recent injury news, Jackson’s expectations seems realistic. 在开始这个客场之旅前，湖人教头Phil Jackson表示球队的目标是赢下这两场中的其中一 场，然後再寻求是否有偷得第二场胜利的机会。在目前湖人因为伤兵困扰的关系，必须重 新寻找球队的自我定位时，禅师的考量似乎相当的实际。 --
