[外電] Lakers Need “Common Experiences”

Despite a major disadvantage in turnovers (20-6), a rough shooting night from
Kobe Bryant (8 for 25) and constantly varying rotations of late (Pau Gasol
had just returned as a sub), the Lakers found themselves tied at 90 with the
defending champion Miami Heat with 2:33 to play.

Then Dwyane Wade made a pull-up jumper, Dwight Howard missed two free throws
and Ray Allen got a lofted jumper to fall over Howard’s outstretched hands
to make it 94-90 with 1:30 to play.

The Lakers struggled to create good looks on the other end, with Steve Nash
throwing up a desperation scoop shot around Wade and Metta World Peace
throwing up a contested corner three, both near the end of the shot clock.
Miami converted for a third straight trip when LeBron hit his 17th field goal
in 25 attempts (39 points), then added an and-1 in the final seconds to cap a
game-ending 9-0 run.

It was a reminder for the Lakers that while they’ve made progress, they have
a ways to go.

“We looked a little bit like a team that was new to the situation,” said
Nash. “We weren’t smooth and we couldn’t get a rhythm and I thought we
could have made a lot more money out of a lot of situations over the course
of the night that we will down the road, but tonight I think we showed our
lack of common experiences.”

That’s the key phrase for this Lakers team: common experiences.

This season, L.A.’s top four players have been on the floor for only nine of
39 games. Nash has missed 24 (and a half), Pau Gasol 13 and Howard three (not
to mention Steve Blake’s 32 or Jordan Hill being out for the season). Making
things more difficult was the in-season coaching change, as the Lakers are
still figuring out how to run Mike D’Antoni’s offense amidst constantly
changing rotations due to the injuries.

The kind of defensive intensity the Lakers have shown for three straight
games now was enough for blow out victories over Cleveland and Milwaukee, but
the lack of offensive cohesion caught up with them against Miami’s swarming
ball pressure.

“I thought maybe we were a little tentative, also they play at a speed
defensively, they try to speed you up a little bit and maybe we weren’t used
to it,” explained Nash. “I thought we were maybe just out-thinking
ourselves instead of just playing and had a bad run there to start the game.
I thought we grew a little bit but we have a lot of growing to do.”

Indeed, instead of knowing where to be once Miami blitzed Nash pick and rolls
above the three-point line, the Lakers at times stood around. Instead of
trusting where one another would move, they too often waited to find out, and
turnovers were too often a result.

Miami’s top three players no longer have those questions, nor do those of
teams like Oklahoma City and San Antonio. Since the talent is in place, that’
s the type of cohesion the Lakers hope they can find as the clock ticks on a
season that’s almost halfway completed.

The Lakers have 15 games before the All-Star break to work towards that goal,
and 10 of them will come on the road, starting with a three-game trip to
Toronto, Chicago and Memphis.

Stay tuned.


簡單翻譯：
在對熱火的比賽中，儘管有高達20-6的失誤對比、
老大整晚手感不好以及最近姊姊傷勢造成輪替混亂等問題，
湖人還是跟衛冕軍熱火在最後兩分三十三秒時，戰成了平手。

D-WADE跳投得分，HOWARD罰球兩球都沒進，
RAY ALLEN再次投進跳投，94-90，剩下一分半鐘。

然後在最後，湖人無法製造出好的進攻組織，
NASH做了高難度上籃，MWP嘗試投進底角被守死的三分，
這些都是幾乎接近24秒進攻時間快結束的時候，
這些也導致了熱火9-0最後的攻勢去結束了這場比賽。

這提醒了湖人，他們是有在進步，但是還有很多路要走。

NASH說：
「我們現在比較像一個球隊了；我們輪轉不順，也找不到節奏，
  今晚很多組織我們都可以做得很好，但卻沒有，
  我想今晚我們展現出了我們最大的缺點：沒有默契。」

這就是湖人現在最大的關鍵：默契。

本季湖人的四大球員一起打球的比賽只有可憐的九場(已經打了39場了)，
讓季中換教練的適應更為困難，湖人球員必須在不斷改變的輪替中，去適應MDA體系。

過去三場比賽的防守，是足夠去戰勝公鹿跟騎士，
但面對熱火，缺少進攻端的協調讓熱火的包夾防守產生了很大的效果。

NASH說：
「我想我們有點猶豫了，熱火也加快了比賽的速度，
  我想我們沒有適應那節奏；在比賽一開始，
  我們想的比我們做得還多，所以有一個很慘的開始。
  我想我們有成長了，但還有很多需要去完成。」

確實，面對熱火的三分線外後場壓迫防守，
其他人不知道該怎麼跑位或掩護，變成只是在外圍投射；
他們現在也不知道或是去相信隊友會在哪裡，
反而會停下來去找人，這些都是失誤的原因。

反觀熱火久沒有這個問題，雷霆、馬刺也都沒有，
既然都是極具天賦的球員，就希望在季賽的倒數計時中，
他們可以找到他們一起的默契。

在明星賽前還有15場比賽，10場客場，接下來三場是對暴龍、公牛跟灰熊！

湖人加油！
