Kyle Kuzma: 'I'd Rather Be Talked About Bad in LA' Than Irrelevant in Orlando
Kyle Kuzma: 我宁可在LA被人干谯 也不要去Orlando没人理
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma has no issue with the negative media
coverage that comes along with playing in one of the NBA's biggest markets.
湖人前锋Kyle Kuzma对于在全美最大的NBA市场之一的LA打球伴随而来的一些负面媒体报导
没有什么问题。
Appearing Friday on SiriusXM NBA Radio, Kuzma discussed what it is like to
constantly be in the limelight as a member of the Lakers:
Kuzma在星期五的时候上了广播节目，讨论到身为湖人一员，一直在镁光灯底下的生活是如

Kuzma expressed his belief that it is better to be talked about negatively
than to not be talked about at all: "I want people to talk about me, good or
bad, because if they're not, you're not doing something right. I'd rather be
talked about bad in L.A. than play in Orlando and not get talked about, so."
Kuzma认为，与其都没人讨论，还不如有负面的东西给人讨论：“我希望人们可以讨论我，
不论好或坏，因为如果没人讨论我，那就代表我没做对事情。我宁可在LA被人干谯，也不
要去Orlando打球但是没人理我。”
The Lakers have been under fire in recent years due to their struggles, as
they haven't reached the playoffs since 2012-13. They are under even greater
scrutiny than usual this season, however, on the heels of signing LeBron
James.
自从在2012-13年后就没打进季后赛的湖人，这几年因为战绩惨澹一直备受攻击。今年被检
视的更加仔细，因为他们签下了LBJ。
Despite the presence of James, the Lakers are just 28-29, and they trail the
Los Angeles Clippers by three games for the final playoff spot in the Western
Conference.
尽管有了LBJ，目前战绩也只有28-29，落后西区第八快艇有三场胜差。
Part of the reason for L.A.'s uneven play is the fact that James missed 17
games with a groin injury.
湖人战绩不佳的部分原因是LBJ因为腹股沟伤势缺席了17场比赛。
Aside from LeBron, 23-year-old Kuzma has been the Lakers' best and most
consistent player. After being named to the All-Rookie Team last season,
Kuzma has gotten even better in 2018-19 with averages of 19.1 points, 5.6
rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, while shooting 46.7 percent from the field
and 31.9 percent from three-point range.
除了LBJ，23岁的Kuzma就是湖人表现最佳也是最稳定的球员。去年入选年度新秀队，今年
的表现比去年更好，场均19.1分，5.6个篮板，2.3次助攻，FG46.7趴，三分球31.9趴。
Although the Orlando Magic aren't under the microscope as much as the Lakers,
which supports Kuzma's point, they are actually in a better position this
season than L.A.
虽然Orlando魔术不像湖人那样常被放大检视，也支持了Kuzma的说法，但是他们目前所在
的排名其实比湖人要来的好。
Orlando has a worse record at 27-32, but it is just a half-game behind the
Detroit Pistons and Miami Heat for the last playoff spot in the Eastern
Conference. The Magic also seemingly have their most promising team in years
with youngsters Aaron Gordon and Jonathan Isaac supporting veterans Nikola
Vucevic, Evan Fournier and Terrence Ross.
魔术的战绩比湖人差，27-32，但是他们落后进季后赛最后一个位置的活塞以及热火只有半
场胜差。魔术看起来的阵容也像是近几年来最好的一次，有着年轻球员Aaron Gordon跟
Jonathan Isaac，以及老将Nikola Vucevic，Evan Fournier跟Terrence Ross。
The Lakers are far from a lock to reach the playoffs due to the depth of the
Western Conference, but with James, Kuzma and Brandon Ingram leading the way,
they have a chance to be dangerous if they do manage to qualify.
因为西区的战力，湖人要抢到季后赛席次还有一段路要走，不过有着LBJ，Kuzma跟Brandon
Ingram带领，若是他们应付得当，他们是有机会威胁其他队伍的。
Regardless of how the season ends for L.A., it is clear that Kuzma is an
up-and-coming player with no shortage of All-Star potential. As such, he will
be a big part of NBA All-Star Weekend since he is taking part in the Rising
Stars Challenge and the Skills Challenge.
不管最后湖人本季最终结果会是如何，很清楚的是，Kuzma将会是升空待发的新星，有着全
明星的潜力。也因此，他将会是本次全明星周的重要角色，他会参加新秀赛以及技术挑战
赛。
