SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The Utah Jazz are hoping home court really is an
advantage. Right now, they'll take any edge they can get.

爵士現在真心希望主場真的有優勢，現在他們會不擇手段取得優勢。

The Los Angeles Lakers lead the Jazz 2-0 in the Western Conference semifinals
and are coming to Utah with thoughts of a second straight sweep in the
playoffs.

洛杉磯湖人對戰爵士以2-0領先，並希望能在猶他再次上演橫掃戲碼。

The Jazz had hoped to come out of Los Angeles with a split, but were back
home Thursday trying to figure out new ways to slow down league MVP Kobe
Bryant and the Lakers while reviving their own sporadic offense.

爵士曾經希望能與洛杉磯打平，但禮拜四只能回到主場思考該如何對付MVP Kobe Bryant以

及湖人平均的攻擊火力。

The Lakers have shut down Utah's attempts to get the pick-and-roll rolling
and forced the Jazz into taking outside shots, which have not been falling.
Utah has also rushed some attempts that led to either turnovers or missed
shots that bounced right to the Lakers.

湖人已經封鎖住猶他著名的擋切，並迫使他們採取外圍的投射，也成功了。猶他也有許多

次的攻擊最後不是失誤就是投不盡，讓湖人能立刻掌握住球權。

The offensive blunders have created easy baskets for Los Angeles, which
pulled away to big leads and held off Utah's pushes at the end of both games.

這些進攻上的失誤讓湖人得到很多簡單的出手機會，這讓他們兩場比賽都能拉開比數，讓

爵士在最後關頭的追趕徒勞無功。

"We've got to stay disciplined. We've got to work harder to get open," point
guard Deron Williams said. "They're trying to deny us and push us farther out
than we want to, so we're starting our offense from farther out and it's
disrupting us a little bit."

「我們必須保持紀律，必須努力去找到空檔。」控球後衛Deron Williams說。「他們一直

嚐試著去阻隔我們，讓我們離開我們想要的進攻點，所以我們只能從更遠的地方展開進

攻，而這讓我們有點混亂。」

Utah hosts Game 3 on Friday night and hopes playing at home can get the Jazz
back in the series. Utah went 37-4 at home during the regular season, but the
Lakers were one of the four winners, ending the Jazz's 19-game home winning
streak in March.

猶他將在禮拜五晚上的第三戰招待來客，並希望主場的優勢能幫助他們在這系列奪回一點

希望。在例行賽猶他主場戰績37勝4敗，但其中一場敗仗就是敗給湖人，那一場同時讓爵士

的主場19連勝中止。

Utah coach Jerry Sloan said playing at home wouldn't do much good if the Jazz
don't get back to running their offense.

爵士總教練Jerry Sloan說如果爵士的進攻沒有回到正軌，那主場也不會有什麼優勢。

"They're going to defend us. They're not going to drop off and say, 'OK,
we're not going to defend you because we're not in L.A.' That's what made
them very good. They're a very good defensive team," Sloan said. "They have a
tendency to slow us down and we start walking through what we're doing."

「他們將會嚴密的防守，他們不會放棄並說︰『OK，因為我們不在洛杉磯所以我們將不去

防守你們。』這就是他們這麼強的原因，他們的防守做得很好。」Sloan說。「他們持續的

讓我們慢下來，而我們就因此做不到該做的事。」

Lakers coach Phil Jackson said earlier this week that EnergySolutions Arena
is one of the loudest places to play in the league and that the noise
energizes the Jazz and intimidates the officials.

湖人總教練Phil Jackson在這周早前說，EnergySolution Arena是聯盟裡最吵的球場之

一，而那些聲音會讓爵士充滿能量，也讓裁判驚驚。

He coyly said Thursday before the team left for Utah that he had "amnesia"
about the officials comment, but was still expecting a more intense version
of the Jazz in Utah.

在禮拜四飛到猶他之前，他對於裁判有關的言論都隱蔽的以"健忘症"帶過，但還是認為爵

士在猶他會打的更有強悍。

"They're scrumming around. That's much more decisive on their court," Jackson
said.

「他們將會在每個地方爭球，他們將在主場執行的更堅決。」Jackson說。

The Lakers have kept All-Star forward Carlos Boozer out of the series so far.
Boozer was in foul trouble early in Los Angeles' 120-110 win on Wednesday and
finished with just 10 points and five rebounds. He averaged 21 points and 10
rebounds in the regular season.

目前為止湖人讓全明星前鋒Carlos Boozer發揮不出來，在禮拜三以110-120輸給洛杉磯的

比賽中，因為犯規麻煩只得到10分5籃板。他例行賽平均可以得到21分10籃板。

Boozer is just 9-for-24 in the series, stuck outside the lane and missing the
mid-range jump shots that went in during the regular season.

在這系列中Boozer總共才出手24次命中9球，被卡在禁區外面也投不進那些在例行賽跟吃飯

一樣容易的中距離。

When Boozer and the Jazz have tried to get inside, Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol
have been there to either swat away the shot or force an awkward attempt.

當爵士及Boozer試著要打進去的同時，Lamar Odom及Pau Gasol也等在那讓進攻球員出手

變形或直接被巴。

The Lakers have blocked 17 shots in the two games.

湖人在這兩場總共送出17次火鍋。

"Right now they're packing the lane. That's what I would if I was their team
right now. Pack the lane and make us hit jump shots," Boozer said. "We have
to knock them down."

「現在他們就是擠在禁區，如果換做是我也會這麼做。塞滿禁區讓我們只能跳投。」

Boozer說。「我們必須解決他們。」

Utah was in the same position last spring, when Houston won the first two
games of the opening round and came to Utah with a 2-0 lead. The Jazz won
twice at home to tie the series and ended up winning it in seven games.

猶他去年春天也碰到一樣的情況，休士頓贏了第一輪對戰的爵士，帶著2-0的優勢來到猶

他。爵士接著在主場連贏兩場讓系列打平，最後在第七場解決火箭。

Boozer said the Jazz need to win one before they can think about rallying
again.

Boozer說爵士必須要先贏一場再談別的。

The Lakers, meanwhile, can afford to be much more relaxed. Los Angeles is 6-0
so far in the playoffs, beating the Nuggets twice in Denver to clinch the
opening round series. Denver's altitude is even higher than Salt Lake City's
4,500 feet, so the Lakers aren't worried much about the thin air.

湖人則比較能放輕鬆一點。湖人目前在季後賽戰績是6勝0敗，在丹佛連下兩場結束掉該系

列。丹佛的海拔比鹽湖城還高4,500呎，所以湖人並不太擔心這裡稀薄的空氣。

"We obviously have an advantage. What we did was take care of our home
court," said Bryant, who is averaging 36 points in the two games. "Now we've
got to try and stop them from taking care of their home court."

「我們確實有些優勢，不過我們只是確保了主場的戰績。」Bryant說，他這兩場比賽平均

36分。「現在我們必須要反過來阻止他們確保他們主場的戰績了。」










第一次聽到有人稱讚湖人防守好，Sloan客氣到有點誇張。
