Andrew Bynum comes up big for Lakers

Reporting from Indianapolis - Someone forgot to tell Andrew Bynum that the
coaches already submitted their ballots.

The 22-year-old center, hoping to be selected today as an All-Star reserve,
put up eye-catching numbers in the Lakers' 118-96 victory over the Indiana
Pacers on Wednesday at Conseco Fieldhouse.

He scored a season-high 27 points and took 12 rebounds as the Lakers improved
to 3-2 on their eight-game trip, this one coming against a team that's, uh,
defensively challenged, to put it kindly.

顯然有人忘了告訴想替補進明星賽的霸男，票已經開完了。他今晚拿下亮眼的27分(本季

新高)與12籃板。

Whether Bynum's body of work this season is good enough to be put in play
Feb. 14 at Cowboys Stadium will be determined by NBA coaches, who submitted
their votes for reserves earlier this week.

"Hopefully I did, but [today] we all find out," Bynum said. "I think if I
didn't make it, I think it would be political more so than anything and
that's just something I'll have to deal with."

不管霸男本季表現是否好到夠格到Cowboys Stadium參加情人節那天的比賽，霸男都有

個人要婊：「我希望能參加，但是我們都猜得到結果了，我想這其中包含了策略性的操

作，這也是我必須接受的~」

Political?

"They've got people who are not centers," Bynum said, referring to Phoenix's
Amare Stoudemire's getting put on the ballot as a center instead of power
forward.

李組長：「策略性的操作?」

霸男：「他們讓不是中鋒的人參加中鋒位置的票選」

阿罵：「怪我囉?」

Other candidates at center are the Clippers' Chris Kaman and the Denver
Nuggets' Nene.

其他的候選人包含了卡門和奶奶。

Bynum is averaging 15.8 points and 8.4 rebounds this season. He went 23
consecutive games without a double-double and his defense has lagged at times.

In fact, Pacers reserve center Roy Hibbert had 21 points on 10-for-18
shooting, much of it against Bynum.

On the other hand, there are fewer doubts about Bynum's offense. He made his
first eight shots against the small-ball Pacers, starting out against power
forward Troy Murphy before Hibbert was handed the task.

溜馬的替補中鋒Roy Hibbert投18中10拿下21分的表現略可抵消霸男的表現，但是打小球

的溜馬讓連續23場比賽沒拿下double-double的霸男開賽連進8球。

The Lakers' bench erupted when Bynum turned from the baseline and dunked on
Hibbert with 5:56 left in the third quarter, completing a three-point play to
give the Lakers a 79-70 lead.

"It's almost an impossible feat for them to cover 'Drew," Lakers Coach Phil
Jackson said.

第三節剩5分56秒時，霸男在Hibbert頭上那記灌籃讓替補席都high翻了~連一向愛酸霸男

的禪師都不能不說溜馬對霸男毫無辦法。

Not to be overlooked were Kobe Bryant's 29 points, nine rebounds and seven
assists, and Pau Gasol's 21 points and 13 rebounds.

Bryant was voted by fans to be an All-Star starter, but Gasol also hoped to
get some good news today. He made the All-Star team last season and is
averaging 17.6 points and 11 rebounds this season, though he sat out 17 games
because of two different hamstring injuries.

砲哥即便休賽17場，場均17.6分11籃板的他仍被選入明星賽。

KKMAN：╯-____-)╯~═╩════╩═~


Can both Bynum and Gasol make the Western Conference team?

"I wouldn't even venture an opinion on that," Jackson said. "That's somebody
else's opinion. I would love to say yes, indeed, surely, truly. . . . "

Not that Jackson would mind if neither Bynum nor Pau Gasol were selected.

"I don't care at all if they don't have to go," he said. "That's great [if]
they get to stay behind."

That's Jackson for you. A huge fan of anything and everything connected to
the All-Star game.

禪師對於記者問霸男和砲哥是否都夠格參加西區明星隊時，照例回覆了一個有回答和

沒回答差不多的答案：「我當然希望呀，但是沒有也沒差。」

The Lakers (35-11) and Pacers (16-30) split two tight games last season,
prompting the Pacers' website to ask in advance: "Another cliffhanger in
store?"

In fact, the Lakers were 3-7 in regular-season games at Conseco Fieldhouse
coming into Wednesday. After the first half, it was anybody's game, the
Lakers holding a skinny 59-56 lead after 24 minutes of lackadaisical defense
by both teams in what actually resembled an All-Star game for that reason.

"I was very disappointed, I told them at halftime," Jackson said. "I express
it to the players nightly. Our middle is really soft. We're giving up a lot
of penetration and whenever you give up that amount of penetration you're
going to get hurt both inside, outside and usually at the foul line. It's a
combination of both our guards keeping guys in front of them and our big guys
reacting to help."

34勝11敗和16勝30敗的溜馬在上半場打得難分難捨，禪師：「我在中場時告訴球員們我

很失望，我們的禁區太軟了，讓對手不斷滲透，導致內外失守，對手也不對站上罰球線

我們的後衛應該試著將對手擋在身前，長人們要去協防。」

Lucky for the Lakers, they have an offense.

Bryant had 13 points and three assists in the third quarter as the Lakers
outscored the Pacers, 33-22.

幸運的是，湖人有個進攻兇器，Kobe在第三節拿下13分3助攻，當節湖人以33:22力壓溜

馬。

There wasn't much cheering after that for the home team. In fact, the largest
ovation of the game was for a handful of Super Bowl-bound Indianapolis Colts
players in attendance, Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon and Matt Stover all
receiving a standing ovation.

今晚對主場球隊來說很難熬。事實上，全場最大的掌聲是給了在觀眾席上的Indianapolis

Colts的球員Reggie Wayne、Pierre Garcon和Matt Stover (米國記者真酸XD)


The Lakers don't play again until Friday in Philadelphia, allowing them to
turn an eye today toward the All-Star reserves, who will be announced tonight
on TNT at 4 p.m. PST.

The 30 NBA coaches chose them by voting for seven players in their
conference, including two guards, two forwards a center and two other players
regardless of position. Coaches could not vote for players on their own team.

湖人到周五對上76er前都沒比賽，可靜待替補陣容開票結果，30隊的教練會投票給自己

所屬球隊以外的球星。
