Luke Walton : Lakers' need more passion' from Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram
MINNEAPOLIS - After a 108-86 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves dropped the
Los Angeles Lakers to 1-5 without LeBron James this season, Lakers coach Luke
Walton said he want to see more fire from his team's two former lottery picks,
Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram, as they try to make it through James' absence.
"They're trying, but they're young," Walton said of Ball and Ingram, both just
21 years old. "At some point, we need more passion. We need for fight. And
that's not scoring more. That's more diving for loose balls, communicating
loudly, grabbing [rebounds].
"Brandon had some really crack-back rebounds tonight that we can get out and
run [from]. We need that all the time from him. So, it's not just them, but
until we get healthy again, you got to play in this league with some passion
and fire. It's hard to win in this league when you are healthy. So you need to
double that effort when guys are down.
Aside from James, out with a groin injury, the Lakers were missing Rajon Rondo
(finger surgery) and Kyle Kuzma (lower back contusion) and got off to a
disastrous start, trailing 26-5 midway through the first quarter.

在 Minnesota Timberwolves 以 108-86 击败 Los Angeles Lakers 之后，Lakers 在没有
LeBron James 的情况下的战绩来到1胜5败。
Lakers 教练 Luke Walton 说道，他希望看到两位乐透选秀的前场球员 Lonzo Ball 以及
Brandon Ingram 拥有更多攻击机会，在 LeBron 缺席的情况下而那正是他们正在做的事。
“虽然他们正在试着做这些事情，不过他们还年轻。” Walton 说道关于 Ball 以及
Ingram — 他们也只有21岁。
在某些时候，我们需要更多热情，我们需要上场比赛。
这不是说需要拿到更多分数，而是需要更多无球跑动、大声得沟通以及抓下篮板。
“Brandon 今天有很好的抄截以及篮板表现，这让我们可以控制场上节奏、继续以我们的
节奏打球，我们总是需要他。所以不只是他们，我们必须凭著热情与斗志去打球直到我们
再次恢复健康。当健康时在联盟打赢就是件难事，何况是现在；所以我们应该付出双倍努
力当你的队友不在正常状况下。”
Lakers 除了 LeBron 因鼠蹊部受伤缺席之外，还有 Rondo 手指手术以及 Kuzma 腰部挫伤
。在第一节以 26-5 的攻势落后之后，就是一个灾难性的开始。
