洛杉矶湖人队将在季后赛中击败犹他爵士队的5个理由
April 6, 2021
犹他爵士队保持38-12的战绩，是联盟中最好的，他们场均得分排名第三，防守排名第四
，盖帽排名第四（多亏Rudy Gobert），此外，爵士队拥有3个全明星，Donovan Mitchell
，Rudy Gobert，和 Mike Conley，但与往常一样，湖人在球场两端都处于另一层。
如果两支球队在季后赛中交锋，湖人队将获得优势，因为他们有一些关键因素对他们有利
，而犹他爵士没有。这是洛杉矶湖人在季后赛击败犹他爵士的5个原因。
5.冠军信心
湖人队在常规赛中不太会显现出来的，那就是冠军经验，这支湖人队在去年的季后赛中轻
轻松松，拥有了NBA最好的全能阵容。丹尼斯施罗德（Dennis Schroder）和蒙特雷兹哈雷
尔（Montrezl Harrell）之类的人正处于鼎盛时期。
当然，勒布朗和戴维斯是球队的领军人物，并且在球队中保持连续性，洛杉矶在他们最大
的阶段都发挥了最高的水平，这意味着他们将知道如何在明亮的灯光下比赛，甚至新来的
蒙特雷兹哈雷尔也有这方面的经验。犹他爵士队拥有NBA最好的战绩，但是他们还没有进
入最大的舞台，而湖人队已经证明了自己是NBA冠军。
4.湖人有更多的才华
犹他州本赛季得到了许多不同球员的贡献，多诺万米切尔（Donovan Mitchell）平均每场
25.6 分带领球队，而他的全明星队友鲁迪戈伯特（Rudy Gobert）（14.6分和13.2篮板）
和迈克康利（Mike Conley（16.3 PPG））都有职业生涯。乔丹克拉克森（Jordan Clarks
on）和博扬博格达诺维奇（Bojan Bogdanovic）分别贡献17.3分和14.8分，以帮助犹他获
得第三高的进攻表现。
但是即使面对犹他所有的得分威胁，湖人队也有更多的才华：勒布朗詹姆斯和安东尼戴维
斯是前五名球员，尽管本赛季迄今为止缺席了36场比赛，但场均贡献25.4分和22.5分，
施罗德则贡献了15.3分和5.1助攻，而Harrell分别获得15.1分和6.8篮板，这4位球员比犹
他州的顶级球员更有才华，而湖人队的Kyle Kuzma平均每场12.7分和Kentavious Caldwel
l-Pope的三分球命中率达到39.7％。
3.安东尼戴维斯将会准备好
安东尼戴维斯（Anthony Davis）本赛季已经缺席了湖人27场比赛，而且对他的长期健康
状况也有很多疑问，戴维斯有伤病的历史影响到他的整个身体，所以外人不必担心，这是
正常的。戴维斯可能会更早地返回湖人队，但预计球队将坐下来确保他的伤病得到100％
的恢复。
健康的安东尼戴维斯为湖人队提供了比犹他更大的优势，爵士队在2月24日以114-89的胜
利击败了湖人队（没有安东尼戴维斯），这表明缺少戴维斯这样的巨星比赛是不同的。戈
贝尔是他的第三届年度最佳防守球员的有力竞争者，但即使是他也无法阻止戴维斯，因为
戴维斯的速度更快，而且从里到外非常全面的球星。
2.勒布朗詹姆斯可以适应世界上的任何进攻和防守
勒布朗詹姆斯仍然是世界上最好的球员，本赛季已经缺席了9场湖人比赛，但他也将在季
后赛中保持健康，如果詹姆斯彻底恢复健康，他在季后赛展现出来的能力是无与伦比的
勒布朗在36岁时场均25.4 分，7.9 篮板和7.9 助攻，这意味着他对比赛的影响比任何人
都要好。在进攻端，勒布朗控制的步伐比任何人都要好，可以说是湖人有史以来最伟大的
球员，这意味着他将做出调整以击败联盟中的任何一支球队，包括NBA的最佳球队。
1.季后赛压力
季后赛的压力是真实的，犹他爵士成为上赛季的牺牲品。在首轮对上丹佛金块的比赛中，
他们以3-1领先，但却没能在最后顶住压力导致被翻盘。多亏迈克康利（16.3分，三分球
命中率为41.4％）和乔丹克拉克森（17.3分）爵士今年比赛有所改善，有迹象表明，由于
压力，他们将对湖人队步履蹒跚。
多诺万米切尔（Donovan Mitchell）是一位出色的球员，拥有大量的上升空间，但他不足
以取代勒布朗詹姆斯（LeBron James）和安东尼戴维斯(Anthony Davis）；米切尔不是
MVP球员，因为他不在全世界前十名顶级球员中，犹他州将面临巨大压力，湖人队可以凭
藉自己的特权和超级巨星的力量应对任何压力，这意味着爵士乐极有可能在光线最明亮的
情况下弃牌。

5 Reasons Why The Los Angeles Lakers Will Beat The Utah Jazz In The NBA Playof
fs
By Eddie Bitar -April 6, 2021 -
The Utah Jazz hold a 38-12 record, the best in the league. They rank 3rd in sc
oring, 4th in defense, and 4th in blocks per game (thanks to Rudy Gobert). Bes
ides, the Jazz have 3 All-Stars in Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, and Mike Con
ley. But as good as they have been, the Lakers are on another level on both en
ds of the floor.
The Lakers will have the advantage if both teams clash in the postseason becau
se they have key factors in their favor that Utah do not have. In terms of phy
sical and mental intangibles, the Purple and Gold will overcome a worse regula
r-season record to beat the Jazz. Here are the 5 reasons the Los Angeles Laker
s will defeat the Utah Jazz in the playoffs.
5. Championship Confidence
The Lakers have something that cannot be earned during the regular season, and
that is championship experience. This Lakers team breezed through the NBA pla
yoffs last year and had the NBA’s best all-around team. This season, the Lake
rs might have gotten better with the likes of Dennis Schroder and Montrezl Har
rell joining the team in their primes.
Of course, LeBron and Davis are the franchise leaders and have continuity in t
heir group. Los Angeles have played at the highest level in the biggest stage
of them all, meaning they will know how to play under the bright lights. Even
newcomer Montrezl Harrell has been a part of a playoff team with expectations
last year with the Clippers. The Utah Jazz have the best record in the NBA, bu
t they have not been on the biggest stage of them all, while the Lakers alread
y proved they are NBA champions.
4. The Lakers Have More Talent
Utah are getting contributions from many different players this season. Donova
n Mitchell is averaging 25.6 PPG to lead the team, while his All-Star teammate
s Rudy Gobert (14.6 PPG and 13.2 RPG) and Mike Conley (16.3 PPG) are having ca
reer years. Even Jordan Clarkson and Bojan Bogdanovic are putting up 17.3 PPG
and 14.8 PPG to help Utah get the 3rd ranked offense.
But even with all Utah’s scoring threats, the Lakers have more talent. LeBron
James and Anthony Davis are top-5 players and are averaging 25.4 PPG and 22.5
PPG despite missing a combined 36 games so far this season. Schroder is putti
ng up 15.3 PPG and 5.1 APG while Harrell is chipping in 15.1 PPG and 6.8 RPG.
These 4 players are more talented than Utah’s top players, and the Lakers hav
e more depth with Kyle Kuzma averaging 12.7 PPG and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope d
raining 39.7% of his threes.
3. Anthony Davis Will Be Ready
Anthony Davis has missed 27 games for the Lakers this season, and there are ma
ny doubts about his long-term health. Davis has a history of injuries affectin
g his entire body, so it is normal for outsiders to worry. But make no mistake
, Davis will be ready for the postseason. Davis could return to the Lakers soo
ner, but it is expected the franchise will sit him to ensure his injury is 100
% healed.
A healthy Anthony Davis gives the Lakers a massive advantage over Utah. The Ja
zz defeated the Lakers on February 24 in a 114-89 victory (without Anthony Dav
is), and that shows the difference the best big man in the game can make. Rudy
Gobert is a contender for his 3rd Defensive Player of the Year Award, but eve
n he cannot stop Davis who is quicker and an unstoppable scorer.
2. LeBron James Can Adjust To Any Offense And Defense In The World
LeBron James is still the best player in the world. The King has missed 9 game
s for the Lakers this season but he will also be at full health for the playof
fs. LeBron was in the MVP race earlier in the year but he will not play at his
best for the remainder of the regular season. A rested King means no player h
as a chance to be better than the Lakers superstar in the playoffs.
LeBron is averaging 25.4 PPG, 7.9 RPG, and 7.9 APG at 36 years old, which mean
s he impacts the game better than anyone. LeBron will be able to lead his team
on offense, even with Gobert inside. He will adjust to Utah’s strong interio
r defense and make sure he pushes the pace to prevent them from setting up. On
offense, LeBron controls the pace better than anyone. Having arguably the gre
atest player of all time on the Lakers means he will make adjustments to defea
t any team in the league including the best team in the NBA.
1. Playoffs Pressure
Postseason pressure is real, and the Utah Jazz fell victim to that last season
. Up 3-1 against the Denver Nuggets in the first round, they could not close t
he deal against a contender. While Utah is a better team this year thanks to t
he improved play of Mike Conley (16.3 PPG on 41.4% shooting from three) and Jo
rdan Clarkson (17.3 PPG), there is evidence they will falter to the Lakers tha
nks to pressure.
Donovan Mitchell is a tremendous player with a ton of upside, but he is not qu
ite good enough to usurp LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Mitchell is not an MV
P player because he is not among the top-10 players in the world, and that mea
ns the pressure will be on Utah. The Lakers can handle any pressure because of
their franchise prestige and also their superstar power, meaning the Jazz are
very likely to fold with the lights shining brightest.
