Above all, the thing the Lakers need is ... 最重要的，湖人所需要的是... By KEVIN DING For such a complacent, skilled, defending-champion team, the Lakers still haven't found that elusive quality that drives greatness much further than talent does. 對一個志得意滿，技術超群，尋求二連霸的衛冕冠軍而言，湖人還是缺少一個把天分提升到難以取代的特質。 Fearlessness. 那就是無所畏懼。 The reason that the Oklahoma City Thunder has seemed so overwhelming is not because they've been winning more. This series is very much tied, 2-2. But the eighth-seeded Thunder has what the top-seeded Lakers want. 雷霆壓倒性的勝利，不是因為他們一向如此。這個系列2-2非常接近，但老八雷霆擁有第一種子湖人所需要的特質。 Oklahoma City has been fearless. Refreshingly, spectacularly, charmingly fearless. 雷霆無懼一切。耳目一新、轟動萬教、又引人注目的無懼。 And in so being, the Thunder has revealed just how much fear the Lakers are toting around as they try not to lose the championship they still hold. 這樣的情況下，雷霆的表現正好顯露出，湖人對連霸失利的強烈恐懼。 Kobe Bryant has had the best game with that 39-point explosion in Game 2. Pau Gasol has been the most consistently productive. Ron Artest has played the best defense in holding Kevin Durant to 38 percent shooting. 雖然Kobe Bryant 第二戰大爆發得了39分，Pau Gasol也一直穩定的貢獻分數， Ron Artest拿出最好的防守鎖住Kevin Durant，讓他只有三成八的命中率。 Yet they've been surprisingly often in this series downright afraid - Bryant afraid his body will let him down, Gasol afraid he won't get the ball, Artest afraid to step out of line. 但是他們也常在這個系列裡，徹底的陷入畏懼之中； Bryant害怕身體不如往昔， Gasol害怕他接不到球，Artest害怕做錯事情。 Give me Andrew Bynum over them all. Youthful naivete does not automatically equate to fearlessness, but only the 22-year-old Bynum among these Lakers is embracing this postseason as an exciting opportunity to make something happen. 給我Andrew Bynum就好了。雖然青春無敵又天真爛漫，不一定代表無所畏懼，但是湖人全隊裡，只有他擁抱季後賽的無限可能。 Bynum didn't get to make the NBA Finals run two years ago and was limited by his knee last year, so he is excited about this now. He isn't afraid he's going to rupture that tender Achilles' tendon; he's not afraid he's going to get into foul trouble. He is out there going hard and jumping high and letting the results get sorted out when the sweat dries. Bynum因為膝傷，無緣參加兩年前的總冠軍賽，去年也打不開，所以還很熱血。不怕會在比賽中再拉傷阿基里斯腱，也不怕犯規麻煩。他出場會全力強攻、制空，去確保比賽的結果。 His teammates are standing on the perimeter, afraid to throw sharp entry passes for fear they don't get through - worrying about turnovers ahead of lusting to score. The Lakers' version of a fast break these days is to assume they'll get caught from behind and ease up rather than going hard to the hoop. They jack up all these 3-pointers because they're taking the easy way out. 其他隊友害怕太刁鑽的傳球路線無法成功，得分的慾望就被害怕失誤所取代。而湖人版的快攻就是輕輕的把球放進去而不敢強攻籃框，因為怕被半路攔截。然而想輕鬆得分所以投出很多的三分球。 It is just such weak stuff that many Lakers fans have rightfully lost faith in this team. 如此疲軟的湖人，自然失去球迷的信任。 Phil Jackson said before the series that the way to prey on Oklahoma City's inexperience is to attack early and end it before the Thunder gets any experience. That's obviously been blown out the window by Oklahoma City's tornado-style running game, and now the Thunder is getting dangerously close to believing it can win this series. Phil Jackson曾說過，擊潰沒有季後賽經驗的雷霆，就是在他們有任何經驗前結束他們。而這般說法被雷霆龍捲風搬的狂襲摧毀。現在的雷霆幾乎相信他們會贏得首輪。 From rookie guard Eric Maynor's Twitter account: "Series tied 2-2. We goin shock the world!!!!!!!!!!!" 雷霆的後衛Eric Maynor在推特上說:" 2-2扯平，我們要讓全世界傻眼。" From Russell Westbrook's: "CAn SomEbody #PLEASETELLMEWHY NOT??" 而Russell Westbrook的推特則說:"誰來說說我們為什麼不能?" The Lakers can get some fast-break points of their own if every single Thunder player is crashing the offensive boards. They need to stop believing that Westbrook is some jet-powered phenomenon and Durant is already LeBron Light and remember those guys ranked third and fourth in NBA regular-season turnovers - and they're making their postseason debuts. 下次雷霆的球員沒搶到進攻籃板，湖人可以放心的打快攻，他們要知道Westbrook不是什麼裝了噴射引擎的異類，Durant 也不是瘦版的 LeBron，也要切記雷霆的失誤，名列全聯盟例行賽的第三和第四。 Or the Lakers can stick with this can't-lose mentality that conveys both arrogance (yo, we can't lose) and fearfulness (uh oh, we can't lose!), it'll be more of the same struggle to win Tuesday night at Staples Center in Game 5. 如果湖人持續膽顫心驚，如果他們又自大(我們不會輸!)，又害怕至極 (我們輸不起!)，他們的第五戰，只會持續地為了勝利而掙扎。 It's not even so much that the Lakers need the "must-win" attitude that Gasol was talking about Monday. How about a try-to-win attitude? How about going to get it instead of being afraid you're going to lose it? 湖人完全沒有"一定會贏"的態度(Gasol星期一的發言)。不如先盡全力的去爭取而不害怕輸掉比賽。 If the Lakers recognize this fearlessness has been missing - and how wonderful and empowering it feels to bring it back - it's not too late. Maybe they'll be telling everyone at those NBA Finals media sessions how thankful they are that those Oklahoma City kids scared them straight early in the playoffs. 如果湖人現在才體認到這份恐懼(還有拋離這恐懼是多麼的身心舒暢)，其實還不算太晚。或許他們還可以在總冠軍戰的記者會上，感謝雷霆早在第一輪就嚇傻他們。 So far, though, these Lakers are the only ones who have lived up to that reputation as "soft." A team doesn't miss nine of its first 12 free-throw attempts, as the Lakers did last game, unless it is afraid to lose. 截至目前湖人一直被認為"軟趴趴"。因為沒有球隊會像湖人上一戰一樣，前12個罰球噴掉9個，除非他得失心太重。 But you can't chase down loose balls, attack the rim or shoot free throws if you're on your heels. 如果包袱那麼多，怎麼把球抓緊、攻擊籃框、或是好好罰球? If you lean forward, lift up your head and go, you might climb the highest mountain, run through the fields or do something no one has ever seen before. 先發制人地迎擊對手，才有可能爬到世界頂端，看到沒有人看過的風景。 In the Lakers' case, what no one has ever seen before is them actually playing up to their potential. 湖人的情況就是，還沒有人看到他們打出該有的實力。 (有沒有早上10點半有囂張的菜鳥會被老大哥狠狠教訓的八卦?XDD) 完整原文:http://tinyurl.com/2bg46yo (有誤譯還請指正)(轉發節錄請告知!) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 219.85.220.160
