Ham要求龟龟打出高水准的防守，龟龟接受挑战
The Los Angeles Lakers were one of the NBA’s most disappointing teams this past
season, as a roster that featured LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westb
rook meekly finished 33-49, missing out on both the playoffs and the Play-In Tou
rnament. While the Lakers were hit with injuries to James and Davis, there was s
till no excuse for the team to perform the way it did.
上个赛季，洛杉矶湖人队是NBA最令人失望的球队之一，由LBJ、AD和龟龟组成的阵容以33胜
49负的成绩勉强结束赛季，错过了季后赛和附加赛。虽然湖人队遭遇了LBJ和AD的伤病的打
击，但球队仍然没有理由打出这样的表现。
As a result, former head coach Frank Vogel took the heat, as he was fired back i
n April. The Lakers then brought in former NBA player and Milwaukee Bucks assist
ant Darvin Ham to be the next head coach. One of Ham’s most important tasks wil
l be getting the most out of Westbrook, easily Los Angeles’ most disappointing
player from 2021. In an interview on the Dan Patrick Show, Ham revealed how he p
lans to revitalize Westbrook next season.
结果，前总教练Vogel承担了责任，他在4月份被解雇。湖人随后聘请了前NBA球员、密尔瓦
基公鹿队助理教练Ham成为下一任总教练。Ham最重要的任务之一就是最大程度的利用龟龟，
从2021年开始龟龟成为洛杉矶最令人失望的球员。在采访中，Ham透露了他下赛季如何重振
龟龟的计划。
Ham said that he “challenged” Westbrook to defend at a high-level next year, o
ne that the star guard accepted. The nine-time All-Star was a strong defender ea
rlier in his career, routinely posting defensive ratings in the low 100s.
Ham说，他向龟龟发出“挑战”，让他明年在防守端打出高水准的表现，这位明星后卫接受
了这个挑战。这位九次入选全明星的球员在职业生涯早期是一名强大的防守球员。
Expecting a banner defensive year out of a 33-year-old Westbrook is not realisti
c, though he can certainly still make an impact on that end of the floor. What s
hould most excite Lakers fans is what Ham plans for Westbrook on the offensive e
nd.
期待33岁的龟龟打出一个出色的防守赛季是不现实的，尽管他仍然可以在球场的另一端产生
影响。最让湖人球迷兴奋的应该是Ham在进攻端对龟龟的计划。
Westbrook will be in “different spots” on offense, with Ham saying that the La
kers will have him off-ball, handling the ball, posting up and even used as a sc
reener in the pick-and-roll at times.
龟龟将在进攻中处于“不同的位置”，Ham说湖人会让他无球、持球、背打，甚至有时打挡
拆。
This will allow Westbrook to attack defenses from different areas on the floor,
hopefully making him more difficult to defend.
这将使龟龟能够破坏任何场上的防守，希望让他更难以防守。
Ham has the plan in place. It’s up to Westbrook and the Lakers to execute it, t
hough.
Ham已经制定好了计画。不过，这有赖于龟龟和湖人的执行。

Ham能要求全队都打出高水准的防守吗
