Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin Not Playing Means Looking Terrible
沒了林書豪的湖人看來真慘 http://tinyurl.com/lfw7xlq
Of all the preseason games we’ve seen so far this season, the Los Angeles
Lakers losing to the Golden State Warriors 116-75 has to be the worst so far.
Jeremy Lin didn’t play because of an injury. Is that the reason the team
looked pathetic from start to finish?
到現在為止看到的湖人季前賽, 上一場116-75大敗給勇士無疑是最慘烈的一役, 這場林
書豪因傷缺賽, 但難道這就是湖人從開頭到結尾都打的那麼慘的原因嗎?
The starting lineup for the Lakers – Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Wesley
Johnson, Jordan Hill and Carlos Boozer, all finished with a +/- varying
between -23 to -39 for Bryant. Nash missed all of his five field goal
attempts and played just 12 minutes. The backup unit did a lot better against
other backups, although it wasn’t the players the Lakers were hoping for to
see do well. Julius Randle finished with just 4 points on 2-of-7 from the
field.
這場湖人的先發五人, 賽後正負值都是-23到-39, Nash只打了12分鐘5投0中, 板凳相較
之下打的較為出色, 雖然這並不是湖人會希望看到的樣子, 另外Randle 7投2中得4分
Robert Sacre with 12 points and Wayne Ellington with the same amount were
those who led the Lakers in an abysmal appearance of offense and especially
defense, which is going to be a problem all year long. Not having Lin on the
floor showed their offensive limitations as well. It doesn’t matter if Lin
is going to play most of his time with the bench unit. The Lakers are very
weak at point guard without him, because even on good days from Nash, he’s
not reliable to stay on the floor for more than 20-24 minutes without
breaking down.
在湖人慘不忍睹的攻勢中, Sacre跟Ellington各拿下全隊最高的12分, 除了慘淡的進攻
, 湖人的防守也格外悽慘, 防守這點看來會是困擾他們整個新球季的大問題. 場上沒了
林書豪完全顯現出湖人攻勢有多侷限, 重點並非林書豪是否將會跟板凳陣容打上許多時
間, 只要林書豪不在場上, 湖人在控衛這點的弱勢顯而易見, 因為就算Nash狀況好的時
候他也不太能打超過20-24分鐘
Ronnie Price stole the show and not because of his nine points. He lost his
shoe and decided to use it in order to stop a fast break. Andre Iguodala
picked the ball up and raced forward on the counter. Price, running hobbled,
used the show and threw it at the ball, hoping to hit it and stop Iguodala
from finishing the fast break.
Ronnie Price偷走了場上所有人的目光成為焦點, 不是因為他拿到9分, 而是他丟鞋...
Iguodala started off the bench, as Steve Kerr is now trying out giving
Harrison Barnes the lineup spot, while Iguodala becomes the point forward
from the second unit. Not having a good backup point guard who can actually
handle the ball and be a floor general might reshuffle the rotation, which is
great news for Barnes, who has never been really accustomed to becoming a
bench player.
The Lakers need Lin maybe more than they expected. Kobe Bryant is going to
handle the ball a lot, but the team needs a point guard if they want the
players around Bryant to be actually happy. The first unit seems too slow and
stuck offensively when Nash and Bryant are in the backcourt. The second unit,
once Xavier Henry and Nick Young are back, led by Lin from the backcourt, has
the more interesting potential to actually do some damage for the Lakers
which make teams find it difficult to keep up with them.
湖人或許會比他們預期的更需要林書豪, Kobe將會掌握住大量球權, 但如果湖人想要圍
繞在Kobe身旁的球員們能打得開心他們就真的需要一名控衛, 湖人現在有著Kobe跟Nash
在後場的第一陣容似乎太慢了些, 攻勢也卡卡的. 等X.Henry跟Nick Young歸隊後, 林
書豪所帶領的第二陣容將會有更令人感興趣的天賦, 也較能替湖人在場上做出些對對手
的衝擊, 對手也將會發現他們不太能跟的上湖人的第二陣容
