1. Brandon Ingram needs to slow down and let the game come to him. It’s no
coincidence that once Ingram admitted that he was putting pressure on himself
to live up to the work he put in over the summer (as well as some of the
expectations Magic Johnson shoveled onto him) and then stopped forcing the
action, he started to play better. Ingram is not yet a go-to scorer and is
much better served being a secondary scoring option who combines his natural
affinity for being a ball mover with hunting his own shots. When he started
to slow down, play with less urgency to get his own shot, and instead took
what the defense gave him he looked much more like the player who closed last
season on a surge. More of that once the real games start, please.
IG这段跟版上讨论的差不多。IG背负了压力；很想要将休赛季苦练的呈现出来、
也有来自魔术的谈话所造成的压力。但IG还没办法成为go-to scorer，目前适合他的定位
是第二进攻选择。IG必须slow down，不再躁进的进攻、找到他的投射。
Let the game come to him.
2. Brook Lopez is the team’s best half-court scoring weapon. The Lakers want
to play fast, but that’s much harder when you’re taking the ball out of the
bottom of the hoop to start offensive possessions. This is where Brook Lopez’
s ability to be a fulcrum of half-court offense will really come in handy.
Whether it’s direct post ups, duck-ins after setting screens/pin downs,
running pick and rolls or pick and pops, operating as a catch and shoot
player, or just plain isolating from the mid/high post, Lopez has a complete
scoring arsenal. No other Laker has this much versatility in the halfcourt
and coaches would be well served to feature him for the 25-30 minutes he’s
on the floor each night.
Lopez是队上最好的半场进攻武器、半场进攻中的优势点。他可以低位、打挡拆时roll
进禁区或pop out、在外围做C&S以及iso。在半场进攻中，湖人阵中没有其他球员像Lopez
一样拥有如此多元的进攻技巧，教练团应让他每晚有25-30分钟的上场时间。
3.The Lakers defense remains…a work in progress. Early in the preseason, a
lack of effort combined with some simplistic schemes to ensure the team was
not equipped to handle the likes of the Nuggets and Timberwolves. Those teams
swung the ball, ran some 5-out action that pressured the Lakers Centers to
defend the three point line, and they just weren’t prepared for it. As the
preseason advanced, the team got better in their execution for longer
stretches, but still had too many breakdowns — both mental and physical.
They need to play harder and smarter for longer. As a young team, the latter
is to be expected, but the coaches are surely going to harp making sure the
former is done more often. And if players don’t comply, I’m going to bet
they see their minutes cut.
湖人的防守还有很长~~~~~的路要走。在热身赛刚开始时，缺乏努力和简单的防守策略的结
果就是湖人无法抵挡金块和灰狼。两支球队移转球、跑5-out迫使湖人的C必须防守到外围
-那时湖人尚未演练到的区块。随着热身赛的进行，情况有了改善，但显然还远远不够。
湖人必须在防守上打得更努力和聪明、并且将这两者持续下来。作为年轻的球队，犯错是
可以预期的，但在防守端持续努力的付出是教练团必须确保的，如果有球员无法执行，就
砍了他的上场时间吧~
4. Kyle Kuzma is legit！！！！！
5. There’s little, if anything, that tells me Tyler Ennis is a better backup
PG for this team than Alex Caruso. Ennis is a fine enough reserve guard and
is probably getting a bit more of a bad rap than he deserves after having to
start the team’s final 4 preseason games due to Lonzo’s injury. That said,
the things Ennis does well, Caruso can do too. The things that Caruso does
well or the attributes he has, Ennis can’t replicate as easily. Caruso has
more size, is better on both backboards as a rebounder, has better instincts
as a throw-ahead player and passer generally, and does more things
defensively. This shouldn’t excuse Caruso’s flaws as a player, but if you’
re asking me to say which PG would be my choice to backup Ball, it would be
Caruso.
在替补pg上，Ennis做得好的，Caruso做的一样好。而Caruso能做好的，Ennis则无法轻易
的复制。Caruso在体型、篮板、防守端的付出都有较好的表现。而且Caruso本能上是传球
优先。如果寻求作者的意见，他会选择Caruso作为替补pg。
6.Speaking of Caruso and Ennis, the Lakers probably need 3 point guards on
this roster (including Lonzo). I’m not calling Ball injury prone (that’d be
silly) and I’m sure the Lakers were being extra cautious with him
considering the lowered stakes of preseason. That said, he missed over a week
and 4 games with an ankle sprain that was originally diagnosed as “mild”.
Again, I will give a certain amount of benefit of the doubt to the coaches
and doctors here. But, with the shift in style this year, the point guard
spot will be extra important to what the team wants to do offensively. If
Ball were to miss any time during the season, having Caruso and Ennis around
will be a necessity. It’s good that Caruso is on a two-way contract.
谈PG位置所需要的深度，由于需要对Ball谨慎的保护以及现代球风下pg对球队进攻
端的重要性，如果Ball在季中有缺赛的情形；Caruso和Ennis的存在就有其必要。
7. Larry Nance may not be the best PF on the roster, but he plays better when
he starts. I’ll say more about this in the coming days, but the case for
Nance being the starter at that spot may just be it’s how you get the most
out of him as a player. Whether that’s the best strategy for the team is a
different discussion…
Nance不是队中最好的PF，但他先发时打得比较好。作为球员，在先发的位置Nance能充分
的发挥他的价值。但(Nance先发)对球队来说是否是最好的策略就是不一样的讨论了。
8. Julius Randle hasn’t necessarily “improved” as a player, but being in
better shape is going to help in a lot of little ways that will show up both
in the boxscore and with the eye test. He’s able to run harder and change
ends better, he’s able to rotate better defensively, and he’s able to
challenge more shots when on the back line as a rim protector. He’s also
playing with more confidence as a jumpshooter. Does this mean his right hand
is better or that his jumpshot actually is better or that he’s going to
finish over length inside better? No. And if you focus only on those things,
you might think Randle hasn’t actually gotten better. But if you watch some
of those other things — things that matter, by the way — you’ll see an
improved guy. I’m looking forward to watching him this year.
Randle还没有确切的进步，在球技上。但精实的体态的确在许多小细节上帮助到Randle，
在box及观看比赛时都能呈现出来。Randle在攻防上能够移动得更快速、作为护框者试图
防守更多对面进攻篮框的出手。同时对他的跳投更有信心。但这就表示Randle的右手、跳
投、进入禁区面对高大的防守者完成进攻都变得更好吗?不。如果检视这些，会觉得
Randle还没有变得更好(热身赛里)。但在其他方面，会看到进步。
9. There are too many bigs on this roster. Andrew Bogut didn’t play a minute
this preseason, Brook Lopez missed several games, and there were still not
enough minutes at C. I mean, Lopez is going to play 25-30 minutes a night.
Julius Randle is going to see minutes at C. Zubac is good enough to play
there. And Bogut wasn’t brought in to never play. That’s 4 players. When
you add PF to the mix, you have Randle (again), Nance, Kuzma, and you can
even throw in Deng to that mix of guys who can play that spot effectively.
Swapping a big for another wing at some point should be a priority.
谈湖人禁区充足的人手。
10. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope can do some things as a secondary playmaker and
he needs to be used as such. He shows nice passing acumen in the P&R and has
already shown some chemistry with both Randle and Lopez when running that
action. He doesn’t offer a bunch of shake at the point of attack and the
rate at which his 3 point shot was falling might concern if it continues into
the regular season, but for a team that needs as much playmaking on the floor
as possible, KCP looks like someone who can fill in some gaps there.
KCP可以担任secondary playmaker，他已经在P&R展现不错的传球而且和Randle、Lopez产
生一些chemistry。需要担心的如果开季后他的三分还是找不到准星，但对于一支在场上
尽可能需要更多playmaking的球队来说，KCP看起来是能补起一些缺口的。
11. (Bonus) The Lakers don’t have enough shooting. As it stands, the only
players who project to be league average 3 point shooters at a reasonable
volume are Lopez, Kuzma, and KCP. Ingram does not look like he’s there yet
and Lonzo remains an unknown here. I think Ennis can hit the long ball, but I
doubt he takes enough of these for it to matter. Clarkson looks like the same
caliber shooter he’s been to this point in his career. Last year’s team wasn
’t a great shooting team overall, but Nick Young and Lou Williams were
really good. D’Angelo Russell was not at their level, but was a threat out
there. None of those guys are on the team anymore and it’s going to be
noticeable when we’re dissecting what challenges this team has offensively
this year.
老问题，三分。预估能达到联盟水准的三分射手是Lopez、Kuz、KCP。IG看起来还有距离
、Ball未知、Ennis有疑虑、JC看起来没大突破。上季有长老和老尖，DLO虽然不及前两者
但在外围还是有威胁性，不过他们都不在球队里了。
