Lakers News: LeBron James Calls Luke Walton 'Consistent' Amid LA's Struggles
本季的湖人战绩挣扎 LBJ仍称教练Luke Walton "很稳定"
Despite the Los Angeles Lakers' struggles this season, LeBron James continues
to defend head coach Luke Walton.
尽管本季湖人战绩挣扎，LBJ仍然持续悍卫总教练Luke Walton。
"One thing that's been consistent is the voice of our head coach," James said
Wednesday, per Matthew Moreno of Lakers Nation. "Throughout all the injuries,
he's been the one that's remained the same and consistent throughout the
whole year."
“本季一直很稳定的就是我们教练的声音，”LBJ星期三的时候说到。“在一堆伤兵的状况
下，他这一季都保持一致，从未改变。”
Los Angeles has lost its last three games to fall to 30-34 on the season, 5.5
games out of a playoff spot entering Wednesday.
湖人已经连输三场，战绩来到30-34，落后季后赛最后一个席次达5.5场胜差。
Walton has received a lot of criticism from outside the organization during
the team's struggles. The squad was expected to contend for an NBA title
after adding James in the offseason, but now just making the playoffs seems
like a long shot.
在湖人挣扎的这段期间，Luke Walton被外界不断的批评。本来在休赛季加入LBJ，湖人被
视为是要抢冠军的队伍，但是现在却是连想进季后赛都是奢望。
The coach's inability to keep the team afloat is also likely to cost him his
job.
教练没办法拉抬湖人战绩很有可能会让他卷铺盖走人。
"The prevailing assumption in league coaching circles remains that Walton
will almost certainly be dismissed after the season," Marc Stein of the New
York Times reported earlier this week.
“目前在教练圈盛传的想法是在本赛季结束后Walton就会被开除的，”纽约时报作家Marc
Stein本周初的时候报导。
Earlier reporting said that James also wanted a new coach.
稍早的报导也说LBJ想要一个新的教练。
"LeBron's camp would prefer a coaching change," ESPN's Jackie MacMullan said
in January (via Chris Bengel of CBS Sports). "They're not too subtle about
that."
“LBJ阵营想要换教练，”ESPN记者Jackie MacMullan在一月的时候说。“他们对那种想法
毫不掩饰。”
It seems the star player now at least openly supports his coach, even with
the team's struggles.
即使湖人战绩不佳，似乎LBJ至少还是公开的支持他的教练。
Considering the Lakers are only 91-137 through parts of three seasons under
Walton, however, a change this offseason wouldn't be surprising.
考虑到过去三年在Walton执教下，湖人累积战绩是91-137，湖人休赛季换教练并不意外。
