主標: Relaxed Odom helps revitalize Lakers 副標: Seemingly uncomfortable as No. 2 man in offense, the forward has flourished since Gasol's arrival bumped him to No. 3. 作為球隊進攻的第二號人選，老二看起來不是很蘇湖。但耶穌的加入讓老二 在進攻端只需當第三號人選，讓這位前鋒變得更活躍了。 作者: Mike Bresnahan, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer 來源: http://0rz.tw/443IF The trade deadline came and went, and Lamar Odom didn't have to worry, for once. 交易的死線來了又走了，這一次，老二終於不用再擔心被交易走了﹨(╯▽╰)∕ Last year, he was rumored to be heading to New Jersey for Jason Kidd. Two years ago, it was to New York for Jamal Crawford, Nate Robinson and Channing Frye. 去年，有乳摸說老二要被丟去籃網換來基德。兩年前，又是乳摸說，老二要去紐約了， 換來的是囧貓誇佛(今天在NBA板看到有鄉民打的XDD)、Nate和Frye。 Three years ago, the rumor mill had Odom going just about everywhere -- to Sacramento for Peja Stojakovic and to Utah for Carlos Boozer. This year? He spent the All-Star break on a tranquil getaway in Santa Barbara, without any anxious phone calls from friends and family. 三年前，乳摸製造工廠讓老二有可能在全美各地出現(其實老二是Jumper吧XD)---去到 Sacramento換來Peja、或是去猶他跟爵士換來Boooooooooozer。究竟，今年老二的命運 會如何呢？登登！答案揭曉。今年的全明星週的休息時間，老二在聖塔芭芭拉渡過了一 個安靜的假期，準備好好的重新出發，不用再接到來自朋友及家人的著急、關切老二又要 去哪裡的電話了。 "These five days were great for me," Odom said. "It felt a month long." 「這五天對我來說棒呆了！感覺起來就好像休息了一個月那麼久。」老二說。 The main reason for the Lakers' inactivity in the days before Thursday's deadline was their acquisition of Pau Gasol three weeks earlier, their lone venture into a vigorous big-name trade market. Had Gasol not been obtained, Odom probably would have received a few unsettling "here's what might be happening" phone calls from his agent. 為什麼在禮拜四的交易截止日前，湖人會這麼平靜？主要原因是因為早在三個禮拜前，湖 人就已經率先獨自衝進了今年這個充滿大物的交易市場，並獲得了耶穌。如果湖人沒有弄 來耶穌的話，老二恐怕又會接到不少來自經紀人的令人不安的電話，告訴他「接下來這些 是有可能會發生的。」 Another reason for the Lakers to stand pat was their curiosity, if not eagerness, to see how a starting frontline of Gasol, Odom and Andrew Bynum would fare in the Western Conference. 另一個讓湖人無動於衷的因素是他們的好奇心，或是說，渴望，去看看當排出耶穌、老二 和霸男同時在場的先發前場陣容時，會在西區的競爭中有什麼進展。 Either way, Odom can now afford to relax, in many ways. 不管怎麼樣，老二現在終於可以放鬆一陣子了　╮(﹋﹏﹌)╭ He's in transition from his earlier days as a Laker, when the pressure to perform was nonstop for the Lakers' main piece from the Shaquille O'Neal trade in 2004. Then, when Phil Jackson was rehired as coach in 2005, Odom was pegged as the next Scottie Pippen in Jackson's triangle offense. 現在的老二，在湖人中扮演的角色有所轉變。起初老二來到湖人的時候，身為2004年大歐 交易案中湖人所取得的主要人物，要求老二有傑出表現的壓力從來沒有停過。接著到2005 年，禪師重回到湖人掌兵符之後，老二被要求要成為禪師的三角戰術中的第二個老皮。 These days, instead of being a hard-pressed second option, Odom is the third choice in the offense and probably will drop to fourth when Bynum returns from a knee injury next month. 最近這些日子，老二不用在背負工作繁重、包籃板包助攻，又要擔當第二得分手的重擔了 。老二在進攻端只要當第三得分選擇就好，而當下個月霸男從膝傷回來後，老二或許會變 成第四個選擇。 With the pressure on him dissipating almost as soon as the Lakers acquired Gasol, Odom has reacted compellingly. 當耶穌來到湖人之後，老二的壓力馬上獲得解除，而老二也交出了令人注目的表現。 He has 10 or more rebounds in seven of the last eight games and is averaging 14.6 points, 12.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists since Gasol's arrival. He is shooting a startling 62.5% over the last eight games, during which the Lakers are 7-1. 在最近八場比賽中的七場，老二都抓了10個以上的籃板。自從耶穌加入後，老二的成績是 平均14.6分，12.8個籃板以及4.5個助攻。最近這八場比賽，老二的命中率是高的令人吃 驚的62.5%，而湖人的戰績是7勝1敗。 "He's doing a fine job," Jackson said of Odom, noting Gasol's addition as an obvious contributing factor. "I think that opens the floor up. [Odom] sees a lot more space available for him out there." 「老二做的很好！」禪師說。他也注意到了耶穌的加入對老二的好表現有明顯的貢獻。 「我認為這讓老二在場上發現了更多空間可以發揮。」 Odom had 22 points and 11 rebounds Wednesday against Phoenix. He had 17 points and 15 rebounds Tuesday against Atlanta without playing in the fourth quarter. Before that, he had a triple-double against Minnesota -- 10 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists. 禮拜三對太陽的比賽中，老二得了22分並抓下11個籃板。禮拜二對老鷹的比賽，老二只 上場了前三節就有17分15籃板的進帳。在更之前對灰狼的比賽，老二更是有大三元的精 采演出---10分16籃板與10次助攻。 "I feel refreshed and my body feels good," he said. "I'm 28. I want to win a championship." 老二說：「我感覺像重生似的(耶穌的功力嗎？)，我的身體狀態很好。我今年28歲，我想 要獲得一個冠軍戒指(怎麼感覺像相親的自我介紹= =)。」 If the Lakers do that, Odom's future with the team is secure. 如果湖人真的拿到總冠軍的話，老二應該可以確定未來不會離開湖人了。 But if they don't fare well in the playoffs, Odom could be one of the first to be traded in the off-season. 但如果湖人在季後賽打得不出色的話，老二恐怕是頭一個在季後被交易的對象。 He will earn $14.1 million next season -- the last year of his contract -- and could be a more palatable version of Kwame Brown in a league where expiring contracts are premium assets to teams wishing to shed future salary, much like Memphis in the Gasol trade. 老二下季的薪水是14.1M，也是合約的最後一年。這會讓老二成為像誇米一般的角色---當 然是更優秀的版本---因為對於想要降低團隊薪資的球隊來說，即將到期的合約是很棒的 ，就像灰熊在耶穌的交易裡所做的。 The Lakers (37-17) have 28 more regular-season games, including a designated road game tonight against the Clippers at Staples Center. Then come the playoffs. 湖人(目前戰績37勝17敗)還有28場季賽要打，包括今晚(台灣24號早上)以客隊身分在 Staples Center出戰快艇。接下來就是季後賽啦！ Perhaps Odom said it best: "Winning is the cure for everything." 或許，老二形容的最好：「贏球是萬靈丹。」 Bynum did not experience pain or swelling in his left knee the day after jogging in a swimming pool, a positive sign in the recovery process of the 20-year-old center. 在泳池裡慢跑做復健的隔天，霸男的左膝沒有疼痛感也沒有腫脹。這對於這個20歲的中鋒 的復健過程來說是個好消息。 "It responded great from the pool. No extra swelling, and I was able to do everything I needed to do today," he said Friday. "I think we've got about a week and a half of the pool and if I keep doing well and don't get any more swelling, then I'll actually be able to get on the treadmill. Once I'm on there, I should be able to get on the court." 「在泳池裡我的左膝感覺很好，沒有再腫脹了，而且今天我該做的所有項目我都可以做了 。」霸男在禮拜五這麼說道。「我想我還要在泳池裡繼續一個半禮拜，如果我能持續的進 步，不要再有任何的腫脹，我就可以踏上跑步機了。只要我到了那個階段，我就差不多能 夠上場了。」 The earliest Bynum would return is March 11 against Toronto, although the Lakers will take their time working him back into game action. Accordingly, he is not expected to return until an unspecified date later in March, although he seemed eager Friday. 霸男最快的話會在3月11號對暴龍的比賽回到場上，但是湖人不會急著讓霸男上場，直到 確保他完全好了。因此，霸男預計要到3月底才可能回到球場，雖然他禮拜五的時候看起 來迫不及待想要上場。 "I think I can run," he said, smiling. "I don't want to try it right now and hurt myself." 「我覺得我可以跑了！」霸男笑著說。「但我不會笨到現在就嘗試看看然後再度弄傷我自 己。」 Bynum has missed 18 games since sustaining a deep bone bruise in the knee and a partial dislocation of the kneecap Jan. 13 against Memphis. 霸男在1月13日對灰熊的比賽中傷到了他的膝蓋，到目前為止已經錯過了18場比賽。 3-man game 老二當第三人的比賽 Lamar Odom's stats since the Lakers traded for Pau Gasol: 以下是耶穌來了湖人之後，老二的數據: ┌──┬───────┬───┬───┬───┐ │DATE│ OPPONENT │ PTS. │ REB. │ AST. │ ├──┼───────┼───┼───┼───┤ │2/20│d.
