LeBron James Says Playoff Intensity 'Activated' for Rest of Lakers Season
LeBron James说剩下的球季要调整到季后赛强度了
If anyone in the NBA knows how to reach another level under playoff pressure,
it is LeBron James. After all, the four-time MVP has been in the last eight
NBA Finals, but he is facing a new challenge on the Los Angeles Lakers.
如果说NBA里面谁最知道在季后赛压力下如何调整自己到另外一个层级的话，那就是LBJ。
毕竟，四届MVP的他打过过去八年的季后赛总冠军赛，但是今年在湖人的他正面临着新的
挑战。
"It's been activated," he said Wednesday when discussing the intensity needed
to reach the playoffs, per Baxter Holmes of ESPN.com.
“已经启动了，”在星期三时LBJ讨论到要怎样的强度才能打进季后赛时说到。
The Lakers sit in 10th place in the Western Conference and are three games
behind the eighth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers.
湖人目前西区排名第10位，目前落后第8位的快艇有3场胜差。
This is somewhat new territory for James, 34, considering he has been in the
last 13 playoffs and is often more worried about seeding following the
All-Star break than whether his team will even qualify for the postseason.
考虑到LBJ已经34岁，打过13次季后赛，以前在明星赛后他要考虑的是种子顺序，根本没有
在烦恼是不是能打进季后赛，今年对他来说是全新的经验。
Los Angeles is facing an uphill battle, even with its top playmaker's
intensity dialed up. Holmes noted ESPN Stats & Information projects the
Lakers to have the fourth-most difficult remaining schedule in the league,
which kicks off again Thursday against the formidable Houston Rockets.
即使LBJ把他的强度调高，湖人仍旧是要面对苦战。依据ESPN统计资讯部门预测，湖人接下
来的赛程是联盟第四难，星期四就要面对难打的火箭。
That James is ready to pick up the intensity should at least provide an
answer to some of the team's lingering questions Joe Vardon of The Athletic
reported on Monday. According to the report, some with the team are
"privately a little concerned" about James' health and whether he will "pick
up his intensity and propel this team back into the playoffs."
星期一时The Athletic记者Joe Vardon报导了一些困扰著湖人的一些问题，LBJ的回答至少
解决了一部分的疑问。根据那篇报导，球队里有些人"私底下有点担心"LBJ的健康，以及
"他能不能够提高他的强度，把湖人带进季后赛"？
James suffered a groin injury during a Christmas Day win over the Golden
State Warriors when the Lakers were fourth in the Western Conference.
However, he said he feels "pretty good where I'm at physically," per Holmes,
which is welcome news for the Lakers after they went 6-11 from Dec. 27
through Jan. 29 when he was out.
LBJ在圣诞节面对勇士伤了腹股沟，那时候湖人是西区第四位。然而，他说他觉得"就体能
上他觉得他很好"，这对从12/27到1/29 LBJ缺席这段时间战绩6-11的湖人来说是件好消
息。
The only way the Lakers will make the playoffs is with James remaining and
healthy and performing at a high level. He is apparently ready to do just
that.
湖人唯一有可能可以打进季后赛的状况就是要LBJ身体健康，维持高档，看起来LBJ似乎准
备好了。
