內線計劃---湖人積極備戰太陽
On Day 1 of preparations for the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference finals, the Lakers made it clear that they want to stick their postseason Plan A: Go to the big guys until someone makes it necessary to do something else.
在備戰與菲尼克斯太陽的西部決賽第一天時,湖人就明確指出了他們的季後賽計劃A:主打內線,直到需要改變的時候。
It worked in the first-round win over Oklahoma City and the second-round sweep of Utah. And even though the Suns have more front-line size, the Lakers believe it can continue to work.
在第一輪戰勝雷霆和第二輪橫掃爵士時,這都發揮了作用。雖然太陽的鋒線更加高大,湖人相信這仍然會起作用。
"It doesn't matter who we're playing," said Derek Fisher. "That's pretty much our game plan. When you have guys like Pau (Gasol) and Andrew (Bynum) on the interior that can do what they're capable of doing, the game plan doesn't really have to change much."
“不論面對哪個對手,”費舍爾說.“這都是我們的比賽計劃。當你內線擁有像枷鎖和安豬這樣能在內線為所欲為的隊友時,比賽計劃並不需要做太大改變。”
The Suns expect to have 7-foot center Robin Lopezback, at least to some degree, for Monday's Game 1. He's been out since March 26 with a bulging disk in his back. Along with 6-10 Amar'e Stoudemire and 6-11 Channing Frye, that would make the Suns more capable of matching the Lakers' height than the previous playoff opponents.
太陽希望他們7英尺的內線羅賓洛佩茲在周一的第一場比賽時能夠復出,至少能夠打幾分鐘。由於腰椎間盤突出,他缺席了三月26後的比賽。與六尺十寸的小斯和六尺十一寸的Frye搭檔,相比湖人的前幾個對手,他們能更好的應對湖人的內線高度。
"Obviously, Kobe (Bryant)'s going to be the guy who leads us in assertiveness and being aggressive out there in attack mode," said Fisher, "but our success really rides on the success of our big guys."
“很顯然,科比在進攻端的表現使我們更加自信和更具有侵略性,”費舍爾說,“但是我們的勝利還要依賴我們這些大家伙的出色表現。”
Bryant agreed the Lakers would look inside first. "I'm sure they'll (the Suns) look to counter that and take that away," he said. "It's just a matter of who will be able to impose their style on the other team."
科比同意湖人會首先主打內線。“我確定他們會試圖減少我們在內線的優勢,”他說,“關鍵是誰能打出自己的風格,讓對手跟著你的節奏走。”
The Lakers took three of four regular-season meetings from Phoenix, including a 102-96 win in Arizona on March 12 that was a rare late-season hiccup for the Suns. After the NBA trade deadline passed on Feb. 18, ending the anticipation that Stoudemire would be dealt away, the Suns went 22-5 to close the regular season, including a 10-game winning streak immediately following the loss to LA.
本賽季湖人面對太陽四戰三勝,包括三月十二號在102-96客場戰勝太陽,這是賽季結束前太陽少有的敗仗。二月十八號NBA交易截止日結束後,小斯會被交易的傳言不了了之,太陽以22勝5負的戰績結束常規賽,包括輸給湖人後的10連勝。
"We knew from the first time we played them in November and December," said Coach Phil Jackson, "that they were a team that was going to be a team to deal with at some time and somewhere in the playoffs.
“在十一月和十二月與他們第一次交手後,”主教練菲爾傑克遜說,“我們就知道在季後賽我們遲早會遇到他們。”
"And I thought the adjustment of bringing Lopez into the starting lineup helped them a lot and gave them some strength in that position, and the kind of quality defense they started playing at that time."
“我認為洛佩斯回歸首發會給他們很大幫助,極大地提升內線的實力,與防守質量。”
The Suns were 24-7 with Lopez in the starting lineup, a move that came Jan. 18.
Regardless of the lineup, though, the Suns have remained committed to the up-tempo game, a feature of the Mike D'Antoni era that has been restored by current Coach Alvin Gentry and makes full use of the creative abilities of guard Steve Nash.
一月18日以後,洛佩斯作為首發時,太陽隊24勝7負。然而不管是不是首發,太陽隊都保持快節奏的比賽風格,從德安東尼流傳下來並被現任主教練金特裡繼承,充分發揮了納什的創造力。
"Phoenix is getting better," noted Bynum, "but they're still doing the same things. They run and run and run. So transition defense is again going to be big for us."
“菲尼克斯變得更棒了,”拜納姆說,“但他們還是在做同樣的事情---一刻不停的在場上奔跑。所以轉換防守是我們的首要任務。”
After an off day today, the Lakers will resume series preparations on Friday. They expect to have Gasol back on hand by then. He was sent home after about 90 minutes on Wednesday, suffering from sinusitis.
在昨天的休息後,湖人會在周五重新集結備戰這場系列賽。他們希望到時枷鎖能夠及時回歸。在周二比賽結束90分鐘後,枷鎖由於鼻竇炎被送回了家, |
