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.
湖人今晚惨败给勇士，悽惨的命中率，三分线外更糟，防守浪花兄弟本(15-22)本就不
易，更何况今晚他们手感火热，而且不仅如此，他们的板凳球员各个都有好表现(15-34)
。如果说在这场比赛中寻求亮点，Jeremy Lin 在22分钟内4-4 14分且投进唯一一个三
分球和5-6罚球命中率。Julius Randle 18分钟内贡献12分。然而湖人仍有几件事情值得
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够资格赢得先发:
3-4 6分，7个篮板球5个是进攻篮板，优秀的禁区脚步让他不管单打还是挡拆都能有很好
的效率。 Jordan Hill只有在第三节前几分钟表现好-一个距离18'的跳投和盖了Lee一锅
其他时间好像隐形-没有篮板，中距离抖抖。而Ed在有限时间里表现出很好的效率。
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在进攻上较进入状况了:
今晚Lin没有和Ed P&R，他寻求投篮机会特别是在切入，他比起前场比赛更有效率而且
能得到罚球机会，他比较像个得分手了，甚至秀了一手像老衲一样的逛大街，为自己创造
轻松投篮机会，更重要的是他在护球上做得更好-他两场比赛得到14助攻2个失误。
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.
(这段说Clarkson, Young, Henry, Wesley, Kelly伤病状况)
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有犯规上的问题:
Randle第一节被换上就已经三犯这使他失去节奏，然而当他在防守上冷静下来之后，在
进攻上就有了侵略。Byron说他要Randle在场上保持好状态，反倒不是为了进攻，而是
需要他在场上稳定的防守能力。
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.
湖人防守上有问题:
现代的NBA较讲究效率和大量的外围投射，马刺若没有Patty Mills, Danny Green, Kawhi
Leonard这些射手不会赢得总冠军，而勇士有两个联盟最好的射手。这就算了其他像Jason
Kapono, David Lee, Brandon Rush, Marreesse Speights都在外围得逞，终场12-21(56%
)三分命中率结束。 良好的防守不外乎优异的警觉性，沟通，对球的判断，如果对于对方
球快速流动时防守跑位却慢一步，跳投大队就如勇士就会让湖人付出代价。
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.
湖人赢了金块，对勇士却是一个值得反复检讨的教训，在今晚Nash缺席，缺少了Nash进
攻的效率，在Lin表现很好的情况下，Nash恐怕还是难以以Ronnie Price取代。
