这个赛季 詹姆斯将如何让湖人运转起来??
It was a plan, ratified by James, that included playing up-tempo and taking playmaking pressure off him as he moved into the later stage of his career.
随着詹姆斯步入职业生涯的晚期,他也开始认可了这样一种打法,那就是加快进攻节奏并减轻其组织进攻的压力。It did not work. The Lakers couldn't shoot and the floor shrunk on James. They ended up going on a monthslong quest for big men.
但是这种打法没有奏效。湖人队在场上缺乏投篮进攻点,全部重任集中到詹姆斯一人身上。最终,他们不得不花上足足一个月的时间寻找大个子。Point guards Lonzo Ball and Rajon Rondo got hurt. James took over the majority of the ballhandling anyway; he played the fastest pace of his career at age 34; and two months in, he suffered the worst injury of his career.
控球后卫郎佐·鲍尔和拉简·隆多因伤缺阵,詹姆斯因此揽下了大部分的控球重任。他在34岁的“高龄”打出了职业生涯最快的比赛速度。两个月后,他遭遇了职业生涯最严重的伤病。
The Lakers want to write a new story. It goes like this: James will be the primary playmaker.
湖人队决心叙写新篇章:詹姆斯将在下赛季担任主要的进攻组织者。The roster now has a spate of 3-and-D players, with Danny Green, Avery Bradley and Jared Dudley joining a re-signed Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
球队目前的名单中有好几位3D球员,包括新引进的丹尼·格林、埃弗里·布拉德利和贾里德·杜德利,以及与湖人队达成续约协议的肯塔维厄斯·考德威尔·波普。Throw in the possibility of adding a champion such as Andre Iguodala and another veteran role player along the way — perhaps even another shooter such as Kyle Korver — and the formula is there.
再加上可能引进像安德烈·伊戈达拉这样的冠军球员,亦或是另一位富有经验的角色球员——甚至可能是像凯尔·科沃尔这样的优质射手——如此一来,湖人队新赛季的争冠阵容便组建完毕。A blockbuster trade for Anthony Davis, the return of Kyle Kuzma and the addition of DeMarcus Cousins will give the Lakers a dramatically more robust front line, with Davis there to share James' scoring and playmaking load.
安东尼·戴维斯的重磅交易、凯尔·库兹马的回归以及德马库斯·考辛斯的加盟势必会给湖人队带来更加强大的锋线。戴维斯将会成为詹姆斯的左膀右臂,分担其得分和组织进攻的压力。Put James and Davis in a pick-and-roll, spread the floor with those shooters (who also will work hard at the other end) and let the magic happen.
将詹姆斯和戴维斯置于挡拆位置上,其余的射手在场上拉开空间(他们在防守端也倾尽全力),这样一来,奇迹便水到渠成。"There's no question this is a much stronger team that fits around LeBron better." said one league executive.
“毫无疑问,这是一支更加强大的球队,更适合勒布朗。”一位联盟高管说道。"They added Anthony Davis; if they did something else, they were going to be way better," said another league executive.
“他们引进了安东尼·戴维斯;倘若他们在此基础上更进一步,势必会变得更好。”另一位联盟高管说道。更多精彩内容请关注微信公众号、新浪微博:篮球英文堂
