Tonight’s game was a rough loss for the Lakers. They gave up high
percentage shooting to the Golden State Warriors. They shot poorly from the
field. They were even worse behind the arc. Defending triple threat players
is tough, and Golden State has two of those guys in Klay Thompson and Stephen
Curry.
It’s even more difficult when both guys are hot from the field.
The Lakers lost 105-120.
Just how bad was it?
Late in the fourth quarter, the bench for the Golden State Warriors was the “
Subway Sub of the game.” The scored 46 points on 15 of 34 field goals.
Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry combined for 15 of 22 from the field, for a
total of 45 points. Klay Thompson played 25 minutes. Stephen Curry played
28 minutes.
If there were any silver linings for the Lakers, it was Jeremy Lin coming out
with a 4 of 4 shooting game, finishing with 14 points. He hit the Lakers
only 3-point field goal attempt, and hit 5 of 6 from the free throw line in
under 22 minutes of play.
Julius Randle contributed an additional 12 points in 18 minutes of play.
However, there are a few key observations for the Lakers to watch out for.
湖人今晚慘敗給勇士，悽慘的命中率，三分線外更糟，防守浪花兄弟本(15-22)本就不
易，更何況今晚他們手感火熱，而且不僅如此，他們的板凳球員各個都有好表現(15-34)
。如果說在這場比賽中尋求亮點，Jeremy Lin 在22分鐘內4-4 14分且投進唯一一個三
分球和5-6罰球命中率。Julius Randle 18分鐘內貢獻12分。然而湖人仍有幾件事情值得
注意。
1. Ed Davis could earn a starting position.
Ed Davis finished with 6 points on 3 of 4 shooting from the field, to go with
7 rebounds. Five of those rebounds were on the offensive glass. His
footwork in the painted area is the best of the big men. This allows him to
score in isolation situations and pick-and-roll situations with great
efficiency.
Jordan Hill looked like Jordan Hill for the first few minutes of the third
quarter, and that was it. Like Ed Davis, he showed a high amount of
productivity in limited playing time. As a starter, he’s struggling to find
the bounce to his step. His jumpshot is suspect. After halftime, he hit an 18
′ jumpshot, blocked a David Lee layup attempt, and scored a tip-in off of a
Kobe Bryant miss. That occurred in a 3:00 span. The rest of the game, his
presence wasn’t as strongly felt.
Ed Davis夠資格贏得先發:
3-4 6分，7個籃板球5個是進攻籃板，優秀的禁區腳步讓他不管單打還是擋拆都能有很好
的效率。 Jordan Hill只有在第三節前幾分鐘表現好-一個距離18'的跳投和蓋了Lee一鍋
其他時間好像隱形-沒有籃板，中距離抖抖。而Ed在有限時間裡表現出很好的效率。
2. Jeremy Lin is more comfortable offensively.
This time around, Lin didn’t get as many pick-and-roll situations with Ed
Davis. He looked for his shot, especially with dribble penetration. He was
a more effective finisher, and was able to draw fouls against the defense.
He was more into his element as a scorer, and even showed a Nash-like
probing of the defense off-the-dribble. That led to an easy lay up for him.
More importantly, he’s doing a far better job taking care of the
basketball. Through two games, he has 14 total assists on 2 turnovers.
Lin在進攻上較進入狀況了:
今晚Lin沒有和Ed P&R，他尋求投籃機會特別是在切入，他比起前場比賽更有效率而且
能得到罰球機會，他比較像個得分手了，甚至秀了一手像老衲一樣的逛大街，為自己創造
輕鬆投籃機會，更重要的是他在護球上做得更好-他兩場比賽得到14助攻2個失誤。
3. Jordan Clarkson is out with an injury.
It is somewhat fortunate for the Lakers that the recent injuries to the team
are relatively minor. Clarkson left the game with a left calf strain.
The major injury occurred to Nick Young, who is on an 8-week timetable for
his return. Xavier Henry, Wesley Johnson, Ryan Kelly, and Jordan Clarkson are
along the lines of day-to-day status. Henry is expected to return the
practice soon. Ryan Kelly is still recovering from a modern hamstring injury.
Wesley Johnson’s knee injury from the first preseason game doesn’t seem to
be affecting him.
(這段說Clarkson, Young, Henry, Wesley, Kelly傷病狀況)
4. Julius Randle is getting into foul trouble.
Julius Randle was substituted into the game late in the first quarter. He
picked up three fouls early in the game, and that broke his rhythm. However,
once he settled down defensively, his aggression on offense began to show.
Part of being a rookie is learning to stay on the floor. Byron Scott had
mentioned that he wanted Randle to be in better shape. Conditioning wasn’t
too much of an issue considering his aggression late in the game. Staying
grounded defensively, was.
Randle有犯規上的問題:
Randle第一節被換上就已經三犯這使他失去節奏，然而當他在防守上冷靜下來之後，在
進攻上就有了侵略。Byron說他要Randle在場上保持好狀態，反倒不是為了進攻，而是
需要他在場上穩定的防守能力。
5. The Lakers have trouble defending shooters.
The modern NBA is more about efficiency and tremendous perimeter shooting.
The Spurs couldn’t have won the Finals without the hot hands of Patty
Mills, Danny Green, and Kawhi Leonard. The Golden State Warriors have two of
the best shooters in the league.
It gets worse than that. Not only were Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry on
fire from the field, but Jason Kapono, David Lee, Brandon Rush, and Marreesse
Speights all chipped in from the perimeter as well. The Golden State
Warriors finished the game shooting 56% from the field. They were 12 of 21
behind the 3-point line.
Help-the-helper defense works well, but only when players have great court
awareness, communication, and reaction to the ball. Once a late rotation is
made after the ball gets swung a couple of times, a jumpshooting team will
make them pay.
The Warriors made them pay.
湖人防守上有問題:
現代的NBA較講究效率和大量的外圍投射，馬刺若沒有Patty Mills, Danny Green, Kawhi
Leonard這些射手不會贏得總冠軍，而勇士有兩個聯盟最好的射手。這就算了其他像Jason
Kapono, David Lee, Brandon Rush, Marreesse Speights都在外圍得逞，終場12-21(56%
)三分命中率結束。 良好的防守不外乎優異的警覺性，溝通，對球的判斷，如果對於對方
球快速流動時防守跑位卻慢一步，跳投大隊就如勇士就會讓湖人付出代價。
The Lakers got their first win against the Denver Nuggets and Byron Scott ran
a couple of easier practices. Tonight’s game should provide plenty of game
tape to learn from. Steve Nash was noticeably absent from tonight’s game,
despite being 100% ready to go. As great as Jeremy Lin played tonight, Nash’
s efficiency on offense was sorely missed. It could not be matched by Ronnie
Price.
湖人贏了金塊，對勇士卻是一個值得反覆檢討的教訓，在今晚Nash缺席，缺少了Nash進
攻的效率，在Lin表現很好的情況下，Nash恐怕還是難以以Ronnie Price取代。
