原文來源:http://tinyurl.com/arr7et 作者:Brian Windhorst/Plain Dealer Reporter LOS ANGELES-- When the Cavaliers woke up in California on Tuesday morning, everywhere were reports of the Los Angeles Lakers' drama-filled blowout loss in Portland on Monday night. But while the locals pondered about which Laker might get suspended for a midgame fracas -- it turned out to be Lamar Odom -- the Cavs had another reality they were paying attention to: They are now tied with the Lakers in the loss column as they begin their three-game West Coast trip. 湖人輸給拓荒者後,騎士隊注意到兩隊的敗場數己經打平。 It means they are in position to perhaps earn home-court advantage throughout the playoffs, especially considering the Boston Celtics, whom the Cavs lead by two games in the loss column, are now missing five players because of injury and the Lakers are starting a stretch where they play 10 of 13 games on the road. 考慮到塞爾蒂克敗場數比騎士多兩場,而且有五名球員因傷缺賽中,而湖人正面臨十三場比賽中有十場客場(包含拓荒者這場)的艱困賽程,騎士在爭取季後賽全部主場優勢的情勢頗佳。 Despite the impression the team may put out there publicly, they are keenly aware of this fact. Especially LeBron James, who is prepared to increase his playing time if needed to make sure the Cavs finish the month strong. After visits to the Clippers, Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings this week, the Cavs finish March with eight of nine games at home. 騎士上下都注意到這種狀況,尤其是LBJ,為確保騎士這個月的戰績能保持長虹,他己經作好增加上場時間的準備。在打完快艇、太陽和國王後,騎士在三月所剩的九場比賽有八場會在家裡打。(也就是說要搶主場優勢的話,這個月就要趁機在戰績取得領先) "If playing time has to increase for us to win ballgames because of the race with Orlando and Boston and L.A., then it will increase," James said Tuesday. "I have no problem with that because I feel healthy. I have nicks and bruises but everybody does; I'm comfortable." "如果為了要贏得與魔術、塞爾蒂克及湖人間的主場優勢之爭,必須增加我的上場時間,那麼它就會增加",LBJ說。對此我完全沒有問題,我感到很健康,雖然身上有些小瘀傷之類的, 但這是每個NBA球員都免不了的。 James' comments follow a two-game stretch where he looked tired for the first time this season. In Boston and against the Heat at home last weekend, James shot just 10-of-30 from the field and averaged just 17.5 points. But James has been working even harder, increasing his weightlifting sessions and expanding his pregame warm-ups over the past couple of weeks, a trend he established the previous few years leading up to the playoffs. LBJ是在騎士與塞爾蒂克、熱火二連戰之後作出上開表示。在上開兩場比賽中,LBJ第一次顯露疲態,30次出手只有投進10球,總共只得35分。不過LBJ最近幾週的練習份量不減反增,他增加了重量訓練的頻率,而且延長了每場比賽前的熱身練習時間。 Cavs coach Mike Brown has stuck to his word from the preseason and kept James' minutes well below 40 a game. Right now, he's at a career-low 37.5. He's been able to sit James the entire fourth quarter 10 times this season. Perhaps as a result, James has not missed a game all year. 布朗教練切實遵守季前的承諾,LBJ本季的平均上場時間為37.5分鐘,遠低過去的4X分鐘。也許是因為這個緣故,LBJ本季還沒缺席任何一場比賽。 But both Brown and James know about the growing stakes. 不過布朗和LBJ都意識到爭取主場優勢的重要性。 "Because we're in position to [get home court], I want to win games," Brown said. "We bought some time at the beginning of the season and because of it we have put ourselves in position to play LeBron extended minutes from time to time down the stretch." 主場優勢很重要,我們很想贏下每一場比賽,布朗說。我們在季初買了一些時間(指LBJ多場比賽在第四節守開特力),現在我們偶爾可以讓LBJ超時加班。(例如今天...) As for last week's stretch of low energy, James admits he was feeling the Cavs playing seven games in 10 days. So he's also now trying to focus on getting rest when he can, and likely won't take part in a contact practice for the rest of the season. LBJ承認因為10天內打7場比賽,所以他在最近兩場比賽缺乏活力。現在他會特別利用時間休息,而且在本季剩下時間可能不會再參與有肢體衝撞的練習。 "The second half of the Miami game, fatigue had set in a bit from those long road trips we had," James said. "I used the day off we had to get some rest back. Sometimes I like to show I'm human." "最近的長途旅行讓我在對熱火比賽的下半場感到有些疲憊,我利用了休息日徹底休息,有時我樂於承認自己也是正常人",LBJ說。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.118.235.90
