Here is what you need to know before the Lakers host the Chicago Bulls.
1) We could see a new opening group
2) Offense wanted
3) Lakers must take care of business
這些是你該在面對公牛的比賽之前，需要了解的事：
1.你會看到全新的先發組合
（我自己猜 Zub Kuz B-easy IG Ball)
2.進攻慾望
3.必須更關注本職
1) We could see a new opening group
Sunday’s game against Cleveland went just about as unexpectedly as possible.
Not only did the Lakers fall to the Cavaliers — who lost 12 straight entering
the night — they were overwhelmed from the start.
禮拜天輸給了騎士- what the F word -AKA 12連敗的那隻隊伍
The Lakers fell behind by 15 in the first quarter, and while they worked their
way back into the game, they were too deep into that hole to ever regain the
lead.
湖人第一節就出現最多15分的落後，儘管他們想努力爬出深淵贏得勝利，但那個坑太深了
，他們爬不出來。
Coach Luke Walton said that he is considering changing his starting lineup, wh
ich makes sense given that the Lakers have been off to some poor starts since
LeBron James went down with a groin injury.
我疼說他打算改變先發陣容，因為自此LBJ受傷之後，我湖有著難堪的成績。
And L.A. has no time to waste. After winning just three of its first 10 games
without James, the Lakers have fallen a half-game behind Utah for eighth place
in the Western Conference standings.
沒時間了，快上車（X
失去LBJ後的10場比賽只贏3場，所以我們正面臨著危機-排在季後賽邊緣的老八
補充：雷霆之後6場首節得分如下
對尼克 25分 落後14
對灰狼 19分 落後6
對小犢 25分落後8
對活塞 20分 落後4
對爵士 26分 落後5
對騎士 24分 落後8
所以換先發是必須的
2) Offense wanted
The Lakers’ biggest issue without James has been their offense, which shot ju
st 39.6 percent from the field and 20.6 on 3-pointers against Cleveland.
失去LBJ後，進攻火力成了困難點。
誰該去填補他的火力呢？場均25分呢...
面對騎士時命中率不到4成；三分更只有我阿嬤都比你準的2成多
It’s been especially frustrating considering the Lakers have been elite on th
e defensive side — ranking second over the last 10 games — but excruciating
on offense, ranking last.
考慮到湖人這10場的防守在聯盟前端班；進攻上的掉漆顯得不可忍受-聯盟最爛的火力-讓
人沮喪
The Lakers’ shooters have turned icy all at once. During this stretch without
James, they rank last in both 3-point percentage (29.2) and free throw percen
tage (65.0).
射手們的手感冰冷，失去LBJ的比賽中。三分不到三成；罰球也只有可撥（O)的65%
The purple and gold need someone to thaw out. Keep an eye on Kyle Kuzma, who r
ode an 18-point fourth quarter to a 29-point performance against the Cavaliers
.
紫金眾需要有人跳出來，像是褲子在第四節中拿了18分，在該節以29分的優勢擊敗騎士
3) Lakers must take care of business
After that unexpected loss to Cleveland, let’s see if the Lakers will take ca
re of a similarly struggling Chicago squad.
輸給騎士後，讓我們看看湖人會不會特別照顧這隻同樣在樂透掙扎的公牛隊
Having lost seven straight, the Bulls own the league’s second-worst record an
d rank last on the offensive side of the floor.
7連敗的公牛是全聯盟第二差的球隊，而且在攻擊端墊底
But Chicago also has some young talent that could give the Lakers trouble. Zac
h LaVine is a top-15 scorer at 23.6 points per game. Lauri Markkanen is a dang
erous stretch big. Kris Dunn has been an assist machine lately.
公牛也有一些值得注意的球員，像怒刷23.6分的灌籃王LaVine;危險的延伸大個Markk 跟
最近拿一堆助攻的Dunn
By now, the Lakers should know better than to bring anything less than full ef
fort, even against a team at the bottom of the standings.
湖人現在應該知道必須持續的保持專注與努力-就算是面對那些墊底球隊的
Injury Report

surgery) are out. Isaac Bonga, Alex Caruso and Johnathan Williams are on G Lea
gue assignment.

大概醬，如果上個月有人告訴我要注意騎士跟公牛，我一定會笑你（ry
