主標:Defense will be test for Lakers on the road 作者:CURTIS ZUPKE 網址:http://0rz.tw/133Lo EL SEGUNDO — "Bring on Chris Paul" wouldn't exactly be the rallying cry for the Lakers as they embark on what could be a revealing four-game trip. 當在客場四連戰對上CP3的時候, 湖人可能不會是哭哭的那一隊. After they allowed Toronto reserve T.J. Ford to shred them for 28 points on Tuesday, point guard play has come under scrutiny with upcoming games against Paul of New Orleans, Jason Kidd of the Dallas Mavericks and Deron Williams of Utah. 在禮拜二對上多倫多暴龍的時候, 洛杉磯不防守隊讓福特汽車拿下了28分, PG這個點將會 是未來幾場對上有CP3的嗡嗡嗡, 有接生小孩的小牛, 有蝶龍的爵士時觀察的重點. "You forgot (Rafer) Alston (of Houston)," Coach Phil Jackson playfully reminded a reporter. 肯德基爺爺告訴我 "你忘記火箭的Rafer Alston了." The Lakers have downplayed a defense that has had issues preventing penetration. That will be put to test over the next four games, beginning with Paul and the Hornets on Friday. 洛杉磯不防守隊曾經忽略防守的重要性, 但是他們現在提出防止速度飛快的小後衛切入的 戰術. 這將會在未來四場比賽中實際測試成效. 第一場將會是禮拜五對上有CP3在的黃蜂. Jackson said the issue had more to do with the number of pick-and-rolls his team sees, not so much the personnel running them. 爺爺說這個戰術將會在對上這幾隊專門打檔切的球隊多嘗試運用, 現在沒什麼人在用這個 戰術的說. "Trying to strengthen our younger players who don't have the physicality to get through screens," said Jackson, "we have to work with them on that." 爺爺說 "我們嘗試增加我們那群沒什麼體能優勢的年輕球員閃躲過對方, 哪些有身材優勢 球員的掩護." Jackson said his club concedes a lot of shots, as was the case against Toronto, and the Lakers will sometimes pay the price if the player gets hot. 爺爺承認他的球隊讓對方有太多投籃的機會了, 就像是對上暴龍隊的時候, 如果對方球員 開無雙的時候, 洛杉磯不防守隊往往會付出慘痛的代價. "So you have to live with some of those things sometimes and live with the best thing possible, and that's to stop the penetration," he said. 爺爺說 "對手總是會有開無雙的一天, 所以你必須盡你所能去防止他們的切入." Jackson concurred with the conventional strategy that Paul is least dangerous when he does most of the scoring because it takes away from the Hornets' "team atmosphere." 爺爺同意在過去常用的戰略下, CP3如果是對方得分最高的球員那他的威脅性將會大幅降低 , 因為這樣會讓嗡嗡嗡可怕的團隊戰力消失. That was the case Jan.9 when Paul had 32 points in a 29-point Lakers victory. 最好的例子就是1月29號對上黃蜂時狂勝29分的比賽, CP3在那場比賽中獨拿32分. The Lakers are a different team now with Pau Gasol, and their confidence seems to be enough to carry them into this trip without any hiccups about their defense. 湖人在耶穌降臨後變身成為一支很不一樣的球隊, 他們的信心看起來足夠在這次客場之旅 之中去激勵他們對付那些可能會切碎他們防守的球隊. "We're a confident bunch and we're starting to understand that it doesn't matter where we play, as long as we do what we need to do, we can win," Kobe Bryant said. "As long as we have that kind of understanding, you have all the confidence in the world no matter where you play." 老大說 "我們有著充滿自信的板凳球員, 而且我們開始體認到, 不管我們在哪裡比賽, 不 只要我們盡我們所能的去發揮, 我們就會贏. 只要我們堅持這股信念, 不管在全世界的哪 一個角落打球都一樣." Said Lamar Odom, "It's going to be tough. I think we're well prepared." 老二說 "這將會是很艱辛的一戰, 但是我們已經準備好了." HAPPY FOR MCGRADY 替T-mac高興 Some Lakers said they haven't paid much attention to Houston, but Bryant is aware of his superstar friend Tracy McGrady. 許多湖人的球員說他們根本不在意火箭的連勝, 但是老大很以T-mac這個明星球員級的好友 為榮. "It's good to see him kind of have his bounce back," Bryant said. 老大說 "看到他恢復他過去的那種變態的彈跳真是高興." The two have known each other since they were teenagers but have had contrasting careers with Bryant having won three titles and McGrady never venturing out of the first round. 他們倆很早就認識了, 不過命運卻很不同, 老大已經有三枚戒指了, 但是T-mac從來沒有 闖過第一輪. Bryant said that has a lot to do with McGrady's teams facing superior opponents. That will change this postseason, and Bryant sees a change when he looks at McGrady. 老大說 "火箭面臨了許多難題, 而他們正嘗試著去克服" 而老大看到了T-mac在這其中的改 變. "I'm just happy that he's playing with a sense of enjoyment that he used to play with," he said. 老大說 "我很高興看到他回復到過去那種享受比賽的感覺." 所以... 爺爺的新戰術到底是什麼勒...? -- 2007夏天最熱血的環島，三個颱風、山崩、路毀、橋斷、水淹也阻擋不了我們 http://www.wretch.cc/blog/smaillove 28天5300公里，走訪全台299個鄉鎮，尋找299份微笑與299份感動 --
