Big man Dwight Howard posted 13 points (on 5-8 shooting), grabbed six boards,
and blocked two shots in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 105-96 win over the Denver
Nuggets on Tuesday at the Pepsi Center. The 18-3 Lakers remained on top of
the Western Conference. LeBron James talked on Howard’s role with the Lakers:
美国时间星期二在百事中心的比赛，洛杉矶湖人以105比96击败了丹佛金块，Howard此役
8投5中拿下13分，以及6篮板和2阻攻，18胜3败的战绩让湖人继续保持西区冠军。
“Throughout Dwight’s career, he’s been a guy you bring the ball down and
you throw to him in the post and everybody works off of him. Now he’s a
screener. He’s a roller. He’s a guy who facilitates the offense if you pass
it in to him. He gets the ball to the guards and he waits for his
opportunities and he’s basically been great in that role. And that’s all
just about growth mind-set. And that’s for the whole team.
He gives us a lob threat at the rim. He puts pressure on the defense, gives
us extra possessions. He can block shots and is able to battle on the post
against certain bigs. He was a big lift for us tonight,” James said, per Los
Angeles Times.
James在接受洛杉矶时报的采访时说：“在Dwight的整个职业生涯中，他曾经是个只要你
拿到球后把球交给他，大家就看着他表现的人。现在他是一个会打挡拆的球员，如果把球
传给他他会帮助进攻，他会传球给后卫然后自己等待机会，他在这角色的表现一直很棒。
这就是心态上的成长，而这也影响了整个球队。
他在篮下构成威胁，他在防守端施加压力，给予我们额外的帮助，他可以阻攻并且有能力
对抗某些大个子，他在今晚给我们很大的帮助。”
This season, Howard is averaging 7.0 points, 6.9 boards, 1.4 blocks, and 0.8
assists per game, while shooting at 73.8% from the floor.
这个赛季，Howard目前每场比赛平均得到7分、6.9篮板、1.4阻攻和0.8助攻，投篮命中率
为73.8%。

洛杉矶时报的报导中，湖人总教练Frank Vogel对Howard这场表现的评论
“He’s a lob threat at the basket,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. “He
fouls a lot, but he brings physicality to the game. It turns it into a fight.
It just brings an edge to our team. So, he was terrific tonight.”
Vogel说：“他在篮下是一个威胁。他的犯规很多，但是他为比赛带来了对抗性，这转变
成一种斗志，这为我们的球队带来优势，所以今晚他非常了不起。”
而Howard对自己的表现
“Every night I try to play physical, and sometimes I get penalized for being
too physical,” Howard said. “I think tonight was my least physical night,
to be honest with you.”
Howard说：“每场比赛我试着表现出对抗性，有时候因为我太积极对抗而受到惩罚（被吹
犯规）。老实跟你说，我认为今晚是我打得最没有对抗性的一晚。”
