Pistons-Lakers Preview 活塞VS湖人前瞻
Thelowest-scoring half in franchise history figured to provide enoughmotivation for the Los Angeles Lakers in their latest game. Instead,they suffered through yet another poor second half.
原以为上场比赛中（指对掘金）的队史半场最低得分能够给洛杉矶湖人带来求胜的动力，然而，非常意外的是，他们在另一场比赛中，整个下半场依旧低迷。
TheLakers look to bounce back Tuesday night and avoid their firstthree-game losing streak in nearly two years when they host the DetroitPistons.
湖人队希望能够在周二晚主场迎战底特律活塞的比赛中强势反弹，从而能够避免吃到近两年内的首个三连败。
Los Angeles(7-3) didn't suffer a third loss until Dec. 9, in its 20th game, in2008-09 on its way to the franchise's 15th NBA championship. The teamreached that mark much more quickly this season.
在夺得其队史第15个总冠军的2008-09赛季，洛杉矶湖人（本赛季目前7胜3负）在其前20场比赛中，直至12月9日，才吃到了他们整个赛季的第三场败仗，但是，本赛季，卫冕冠军吃败仗的速度的确是快了点，现在已经达到了上赛季的失败场次。
Eachof the defeats featured two common themes - poor shooting andunderwhelming second-half scoring. The Lakers shot 39.5 percent and had35 points after halftime in falling 94-80 at home to Dallason Oct. 30. They then won six in a row before shooting a season-low35.2 percent and setting a franchise record with 23 second-half pointsin a 105-79 loss at Denver on Friday.
每场败仗总结出的共同点就是，糟糕的投篮和下半场可怜的得分荒。10月30日在以94-80主场败于达拉斯小牛的比赛中，湖人队投篮命中率仅为39.5%，半场只得到35分。
Los Angeles shot 33.3 percent and was limited to 37 points after halftime Sunday in a 101-91 defeat to Houston, which held a 60-38 rebounding edge.
周日在以101-91败于火箭的比赛中，湖人的命中率更是只有33.3%，半场得分被限制到了37分，并且，在本场比赛中，湖人与火箭的篮板球差距居然为38对60（是可忍孰不可忍）。
"Youonly end up getting six offensive rebounds on the night when you shoot38 percent," coach Phil Jackson said. "That's not supposed to be likethat. You're supposed to have numbers of second opportunity chances. Sowe're going to have to work on where we're getting our shots from."
湖人队主教练禅师说：“整场比赛当你的投篮命中率只有38%但是只抢到6个前场篮板，那样的事情是不应该出现的，你应该能够得到相当多的二次进攻机会，因此，我们需要着手从我们的投篮做起，努力训练”。
Kobe Bryant was 5 of 20 from the field and scored 18 points, two nights after finishing with 19 against Denver. Bryant, who aggravated a groin injury against the Rockets but is set to play Tuesday, hasn't been held under 20 in three straight games since April 2-7, 2005.
此役，科比在对阵掘金得到19分两天后，整场比赛20投5中，仅仅得到18分，在对阵火箭的比赛中，科比腹股沟伤势加重，但是，周二晚的比赛，他势必会上场的（纯爷们，赞赞赞），自从2005年四月2日至7日后，科比得分从未连续三场低于20分。
"I'vefelt better," Bryant said, adding he was "mortified" at the past twolosses. "It'll be all right. I've been nursing it, kind of playingthrough it. ... You know I don't make excuses."
科比说：“我感觉好多了”，他还说，在过去的两场败仗中，他直接被羞辱了。他说：“它会好的，我已经对伤势做了护理，我已经能够承受这种疼痛去打球了，你知道，我是不会寻找借口的”。
TheLakers have not lost three in a row since Jan. 23-27, 2008, shortlybefore Pau Gasol - out with a strained right hamstring - was acquiredfrom Memphis.
在与孟菲斯交易得到家嫂之前不久的2008年1月23日至27日湖人连败三场之后，到目前为止还未尝到过三连败的苦果，而如今，西班牙人正处于右腿肌腱拉伤的恢复缺赛过程中。
"Defensively,we need to step it up," said center Andrew Bynum, averaging 20.8 pointsand 11.8 rebounds. "That's what we're lacking right now. We got guardstrying to box out bigs. Bigs trying to box out guards. We're all overthe place right now."
湖人中锋安猪本赛季表现喜人，场均可以斩获20.8分外加11.8个篮板，他说：“我们需要加强防守，而防守正是我们现在最缺乏的东西，我们在防守时完全是错误的，小防大，大防小，我们现在的防守位置就是错的”。
WhileBryant tries to end his shooting slump - he hit 32.4 percent over hislast two games after making 56.9 percent in his previous four - Detroit's Ben Gordon is coming off a far worse performance.
科比需要尝试着去找回他投篮的手感——过去两战，他的投篮命中率只有32.4%，而此前的四场比赛，他的投篮命中率达到了惊人的56.9%——而底特律活塞队的本·戈登的表现则比较逊色。
The Pistons led Dallasby six at halftime Sunday but lost 95-90 as Gordon missed 15 of 16shots, the last a potential tying 3-pointer with two seconds left.
周日活塞对小牛的比赛，活塞半场领先小牛6分，然而，最终却以95-90遭翻盘，此役，戈登16次出手竟然有15次偏出，其最后一次投篮是比赛剩下了2秒时的一次三分尝试。
"Iwas getting great looks at the basket, but I could never get myselfinto any kind of rhythm," Gordon said. "I was getting open, and I can'tstart turning down shots, but nothing felt good and nothing lookedgood."
戈登说：“我对篮筐的感觉相当好，但是，我始终无法找到比赛的节奏，我当时处于空位，但是我无法将球打进，感觉这些事情听起来都很糟糕”。
Gordonhas been the primary option with Richard Hamilton (ankle) and TayshaunPrince (back) out, and Rodney Stuckey left late in the fourth quarterSunday with an ankle injury after scoring a season-high 28 points.
Stuckey said he is "good to go" Tuesday, and will try to improve upon his 5.0-point average against Los Angeles last season.
在理查德·汉密尔顿（脚踝扭伤）和泰森·普林斯（背伤）因伤缺阵后，戈登成为球队的第一选择，而罗德尼·斯塔基在对小牛的比赛第四节后半段由于脚踝扭伤而离场，当时，他得到本赛季最高的28分。周二斯塔基说他的脚走路感觉还不错，并且他会在对阵湖人时尽力提高自己对湖人的战绩，上赛季，斯塔基对湖人时的场均得分为5.0分。
The teams split their two meetings in '08-'09, with Detroit handing the Lakers their first loss, 106-95 at Staples Center on Nov. 14.
活塞和湖人在'08-'09赛季的两次碰面中各胜一场，湖人上赛季的第一场失利，正是拜活塞所赐，底特律人于11月14日在斯泰普斯中心以106-95击败湖人。
Bryant averaged 25.4 points in his last five home games against the Pistons, who won three of those matchups.
在过去对阵活塞的五场主场比赛中，科比场均可以得到25.4分，而湖人则可以赢得其中的三场较量。
