NEW ORLEANS -- The resume of the 2007-08 Lakers, smudged and illegible before
the season began, was polished and sharpened yet again, another positive
reference added to an already growing list of them.
回顧07~08年季初的湖人隊，球季開賽前充滿了烏煙瘴氣和無法預測，但他們現在已經重
新發光並磨刀霍霍，另一個正面的訊息則又隨之而來。

The Lakers toyed with the New Orleans Hornets, thoroughly drubbing another
surprise team in the Western Conference with a 109-80 victory Wednesday at
New Orleans Arena.
湖人在週三以109-80戲耍了黃蜂隊這隻本季令人驚奇的西區強權。

Their starters were solid, their reserves dominant, and the Lakers collected
their 14th victory in the last 17 games.
湖人的先發非常強硬，板凳則非常厚實，湖人在近17場比賽收集了共14場的勝利。

Surprise, surprise, surprise?
驚訝嗎？驚奇嗎？你以為是作夢嗎？

It might be if the Lakers hadn't already toppled Phoenix twice, Denver twice,
Utah twice, Detroit, Golden State, Houston and a depleted San Antonio team.
喔～這可能會令人驚奇，如果本季湖人沒有兩次擊敗太陽金塊和爵士，沒有擊敗活塞、
勇士、火箭，還有當時虛弱的馬刺。

It might be if they hadn't led the entire way for the fifth time in their
last 12 games.
你可能會感到很驚訝，如果他們沒有在最近12場比賽有4場是一路領先到尾的話。

It might be if they hadn't rolled past a Hornets team that had won eight of
nine, including back-to-back road victories over Phoenix and Golden State.
你可能會以為你在作夢，如果他們沒有擊敗這近9場比賽8勝、且才剛在B2B比賽中擊敗太
陽及勇士的黃蜂隊。

A fluke or a fixture?
是僥倖嗎？還是這已經是湖人基本的表現了？

"Once you start playing the same way all the time, it's like a team is a
team," said forward Lamar Odom, who had 11 points. "That's how we feel right
now, like we're going out and we're playing the same way all the time.
Tonight, four or five guys in double figures, guys with nine, nine, eight,
nine. Everybody's chipping in. Everybody's having fun right now."
今晚拿到11分的Odom說到：如果你一旦無時無刻都用一樣的方式來打球，這支球隊就會像
是一支團隊一樣。這就是我們現在的感覺，就像我們上場，然後就用同樣的模式來打球一
樣。今天晚上，先發五人有四人達到兩位數得分，另外還有幾個人分別拿到9,9,8,9分。
每個人都融入了團隊中，而且都徜徉在其中。

Kobe Bryant had 19 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and a broad grin
when he came off the floor with 5:02 to play, the Lakers holding a 101-76
lead and Hornets fans heading for the exits. Afterward, he was businesslike
and unexcitable.
Kobe拿下19分7籃板7助攻，而且當他在比賽終了前5:02下場時，他笑得相當開懷。當時湖
人正以101-76大幅領先，而且黃蜂球迷也知道大勢已去。比賽結束後，他看起來又回到一
副工作的姿態，而且看不出來有很興奮。

"We're playing well," he said. "I think we can play much better. We're just
going to pocket these wins and go from there. It's a good road win. Now it's
time to go home and take care of business there."
我們打得很好，Kobe說著，但我想我們可以更好。我們正將勝利一場場放入口袋，然後離
去。這是個很棒的客場勝利，現在該是回家的時候了，而且小心面對接下來的賽程。

The Lakers (23-11) made their first eight shots, took a 16-4 lead, and pushed
onward from there. If revenge exists in the NBA in January, it took place
Wednesday.
湖人(23-11)投中了他們的前八次投籃，拉出了16-4的領先，然後就一路到底。如果NBA的
一月有什麼復仇需要解決的話，週三已經開始了。(下一場就是公鹿了= =)

The Lakers were thrashed by the Hornets in the fourth game of the season,
118-104, as Chris Paul compiled 21 assists and Peja Stojakovic made 10
three-pointers, a record for a Lakers opponent.
湖人在本季的第四場比賽就被黃蜂以118-104給痛擊，那場比賽Paul傳出21次助攻，Peja
竟然投出破湖人對手記錄的10顆三分球。

This time around, Stojakovic had nine points and made one of four
three-pointers. Paul had an impressive 32 points but only five assists as the
Lakers took away his passing lanes. The Hornets (23-12) had 12 assists as a
team, the Lakers 25.
這次對抗，Peja則只拿下9分，三分球四投一中。Paul則攻下了令人印象深刻的32分，不
過湖人切斷了他的傳球路線，讓他整場只傳出5次助攻。黃蜂全場只有12次助攻，湖人有
25次。

"We're getting good," Jordan Farmar said. "We've just got to keep it going.
Momentum is what Phil Jackson preaches a lot -- in games and in the whole
season. We have a lot of momentum right now."
我們變得更好了，Farmar說，我們就是繼續這樣保持下去。鬥志是Phil不斷在提醒的，他
希望鬥志可以融入比賽和球季中。此時此刻，我們看起來非常有衝勁。

It seemed like two things were standing in the way of the Lakers fully
congratulating themselves -- the specter of last season and the spectacle of
a lengthy trip beginning at the end of the month.
如果湖人要在季末能慶祝的話，有兩件事情需要克服：第一就是克服讓他們上季疲軟的夢魘
，第二就是月底殺人的客場之旅。

Their well-chronicled collapse after a 26-13 start a year ago has them almost
biting their collective tongues.
他們上季從26-13後一路滑鐵盧讓他們完全失去信心。

"I don't think I really have to say anything because they all remember it,"
Jackson said. "They remember how well they played at the beginning of the
season and how fast you can fall if things don't work for you."
Phil說：我不認為我還需要去多講些什麼，因為他們都還記得。他們記得他們上季一開始
打得有多出色，然後如果你們沒把事情給做好的話，他們會摔得有多快。

If that's the case, Jackson managed a slight slip before the game -- "Yes,
we're very much a surprise team," he said -- but covered his tracks quickly.
Phil說：如果這事情再發生，啊，那我想我們應該是"令人驚奇的隊伍"(諷刺XD)，Phil還故
意假裝滑了一跤XD。

"We still have a nine-game road trip at the end of this month that we go on
that will measure what our season will be like," he said.
不過他繼續說著：我們在月底仍有個九場客場的征戰，在那之後或許我們可以來檢驗我們
到底是支什麼樣的隊伍。
