NBA playoffs: Jazz keep an eye on Lakers

爵湖此事

By Ross Siler
The Salt Lake Tribune

HOUSTON -- As much as they tried to focus on Tuesday's Game 5 against
Houston, the Jazz couldn't help knowing the top-seeded Los Angeles Lakers
were resting at home in advance of a potential Western Conference semifinals
series.

正當阿爵在作客休士頓的第五戰打得荒腔走板之際，
湖人早已在家磨刀霍霍等著下一輪的羔羊上門。

The Lakers completed a four-game sweep of Denver on Monday (averaging 114.8
points a game) and will host Games 1 and 2 of the conference semifinals
should the Jazz advance. The Jazz went 1-3 against the Lakers in the regular
season.

湖人剛在前一輪以直落四橫掃了金塊，
而他們季賽對上阿爵的成績是3勝1敗。

That included two double-digit losses at Staples Center, one home victory in
a game the Jazz played without injured starters Carlos Boozer and Mehmet
Okur, and a 106-95 loss on March 20 that snapped the Jazz's 19-game home
winning streak.

阿爵在湖人主場兩次都是超過雙位數的大敗，
唯一一次在家贏球騙人布與奧庫都沒有上場，
最近一次在家輸球則是被湖人中斷了主場19連勝紀錄。

Matt Harpring said the Lakers could take advantage of the down time to scout
the Jazz in full. "Sweeping is huge for them," Harpring added, "preparation-
and rest-wise, but we have to focus on the Rockets."

哈哈哈普林說這下子會讓湖人有時間將阿爵底細摸個一清二楚，
「橫掃給了他們充分的準備與休息時間，」
「但我們還是得先想個法子料理火箭才行哪。」

Kobe Bryant averaged 29.8 points against the Jazz this season and scorched
them for 52 points in a Nov. 30, 2006, victory in Los Angeles, scoring 30
points in the third quarter alone.

嗑鼻本季對上阿爵平均29.8分，
2006年他更曾在主場獨得52分，
包含第三節一口氣攻下30分，
讓阿爵只能哭著回家找媽媽。

Ronnie Brewer and Andrei Kirilenko have tuned up for Bryant with their
defensive work on Houston's Tracy McGrady in this series. Bryant does have a
stronger supporting cast than McGrady, starting with Pau Gasol and Lamar
Odom.

小酒與ΑΚ對踢妹可的成功防守可望再度被用於嗑鼻身上，
但可別忘了，湖人其他隊友的可怕程度遠在火箭之上。

The Lakers are 26-5 with Gasol in the lineup since his arrival from Memphis.
Gasol did not play in the March 20 game against Utah thanks to a sprained
ankle.

湖人在迎來枷鎖後的戰績是26勝5敗，
雖然3月20日那場枷鎖因傷未能上場，
阿爵還是面不改色地崩潰給大家看。

Boozer and Deron Williams both said they had not yet reached out to former
teammate Derek Fisher, who averaged 8.5 points for the Lakers in the Denver
sweep. "I probably need to," Williams said. "He's playing great for them."

騙人布與小胖異口同聲說他們還沒跟前隊友漁夫聯絡，
「我想我是該打個電話，」小胖心虛道，「他在那兒可是活跳跳哩！」

Sing-a-long

菜兵日記

With a crowd of reporters and television crews on hand, Jazz rookies Morris
Almond and Kyrylo Fesenko sang "Happy Birthday" at the pregame shootaround to
guard Jason Hart, who celebrated his 30th Tuesday.

賽前練習時在一群記者與電視鏡頭的促擁下，
哞與吠這兩個菜鳥對著哈特唱了生日快樂歌，
好幫他30歲的生日表達慶祝之意。

Hart joined Harpring as the only 30-year-olds on the Jazz roster. That
Fesenko knew all of the words, meanwhile, caught some of his teammates by
surprise.

繼老哈之後阿爵有了第二名30歲以上的球員，
不過比較令隊友驚訝的是阿吠竟然記得整首歌詞。

"He was following Mo's lead pretty good. I was impressed," Boozer said. "It
ain't going to go platinum, but it was good, though."

「阿哞起個音他就接著唱，害偶有點被SHOCK到，」騙人布說，
「賣到白金唱片應該是不可能啦，但是他真的唱得還不賴耶！」

"Fes will act like he doesn't know words, but he knows them," Williams said.
"He's one of those guys, when the cop pulls him over, he doesn't speak
English all of a sudden."

「阿吠一開始還裝說他不知道歌詞咧，」小胖補充道，
「他就是一遇到條子會說："縮蕊，唉史畢克諾英格利許"的那種人啦！」

Great Scott

老梗

Jerry Sloan finished sixth in voting for the NBA's Coach of the Year award,
receiving six first-place votes. New Orleans' Byron Scott won with 70 out of
125 first-place votes while Boston's Doc Rivers was second.

斯容在年度最佳教練投票中名列第六，
雖然他拿到六張第一名的選票，
但是又一年與最佳教練獎失之交臂。

Physical exam

肉慾橫流

For all the back-and-forth about physical play in this series, Harpring said
it was hardly the most physical he'd experienced in his playoff career. That
said, Harpring has succeeded in bodying up McGrady and frustrating him at
times.

針對這一系列賽中激烈的身體對抗，
老哈說這可不是他在季後賽中經歷過最辛苦的一次。
也就是說，阻擋踢妹可對他而言還不算是件苦差事兒。

"I'm not going to do anything dirty," Harpring said, "I'm not going to do
anything stupid, but I'm just going to play tough defense, like I know how to
play."

「我不會用骯髒的動作故意要害人受傷，」老哈說，
「這種愚蠢的事我才不會做咧，」
「我只是拚了命也要守住你，直到你精疲力盡為止。」
