RonArtest is still trying to get comfortable with the Los Angeles Lakers'triangle offense, but the 2004 defensive player of the year is as usualhaving no problem on the other end of the floor.
阿泰斯特仍在努力融入湖人队的三角进攻,但是这位04年的最佳防守球员在防守端上的表现总是没问题。
Artestand the Lakers play their first road game of the season Tuesday night,when they look to win their 10th straight over the Oklahoma CityThunder franchise.
周二晚的比赛将是阿泰斯特和湖人队本赛季的首个客场,他们期待着连续第10次打败奥克拉荷马雷霆队。
Artest,who signed a five-year deal with Los Angeles in the offseason, isaveraging 8.3 points on 32.1 percent shooting - far below his careeraverages of 16.1 and 42.2 heading into 2009-10.
阿泰是在这个休赛期与湖人签下5年的合同,他目前在09-10赛季场均得到8.3分,命中率为32.1%,远低于他职业生涯的数据:场均16.1分和42.2%的投篮命中率。
"Youcan't look at the numbers," Lakers guard Kobe Bryant said followingSunday's 118-110 win over Atlanta. "Obviously, we know he's capable ofputting up big numbers. But tonight his defense was outstanding."
湖人当家后卫科比在周日以118-110战胜老鹰队的比赛后说道:“你不能以数据来衡量,很明显的是,我们都知道他是可以拿到漂亮数据的人物。但是今晚这比赛他的防守太出色了。”
AfterJoe Johnson scored 18 first-quarter points, Artest helped the Lakers(2-1) limit the Hawks' star guard to nine over the final 36 minutes.
在乔约翰逊首节便得到18分后,阿泰斯特帮助湖人(2胜1负)抑制了老鹰的这位明星后卫在后面36分钟里仅得到9分。
"Wepicked up our intensity, and it all started with No. 37," Bryant saidof Artest. "He picked up the energy level defensively, and I told himthe game was on him. I felt like the energy really changed the wholecomplexity of the game, and we all kind of rallied behind him."
科比谈到阿泰时说,“我们恢复了专注力,而这都起源于37号同学(阿泰),他在防守端上了强悍的级别,我也告诉他这比赛关键在于他。我感觉到他的能量真的改变了整个比赛的基调,而我们也都在他之后复原了。”
WhileArtest could be called on to defend Thunder forward Kevin Durant,Oklahoma City has a tall challenge in slowing down Bryant.
阿泰可能会被安排去防守雷霆队的前锋杜兰特,而雷霆队想要抑制科比则有很大的挑战。
That task will likely fall on the shoulders of guard Thabo Sefolosha.
而那艰难的重任很可能会落在后卫萨波·索夫洛萨身上。
"There'snot a lot you can take away from (Bryant) but just make every shot hetakes difficult with a hand near his face or close to his shootinghand," Sefolosha told the Thunder's official Web site. "You know he'sgoing to go with different moves. He can do it all. He can penetrateand shoot the outside shot. You can't really take it away, just stay infront of him."
萨波·索夫洛萨在雷霆的官方网站上说:“能防得到科比的方法并不多,只能去用手去靠近他的脸或者靠近他投篮的手从而让他每个球都不轻松出手。你知道他会用各种不同的招式对付你,他能做所有的事,他可以突破,可以外围投篮。光光站在他面前,你别奢想他会哑火。”
Comingoff a 41-point effort against Atlanta - his 97th career 40-point game -Bryant looks for another big performance against the Thunder.
在对阵老鹰那比赛中科比得到41分,那也是其生涯第97次40+,科比可能会在面对雷霆时再来一次大表演。

他在3月24号做客福特中心以107-89战胜对手的时候,前三节便得到19分,末节未上场。而那场比赛是湖人自从06年11月5号101-117输给西雅图超音速后连续第九场比赛打败对手。

雷霆队(2胜1负)周日回到主场福特中心,以74-83败给来访的波特兰开拓者。

雷霆在期待6个赛季以来首个3胜0负的开局,但是他们却上演了赛季最差的34.3%命中率,还有赛季最高的19次失误。
"Offenseis what killed us tonight," Durant said after scoring a season-low 16points and shooting 3 of 21 from the field. "We didn't take care of theball, we didn't make shots. I think we made up for it on the defensiveend. We put ourselves in a position to win the game, but we've got toscore points."
杜兰特在本场比赛21投仅3中,得到赛季新低的16分,赛后他说道:“进攻端是我们本场致命的问题,我们没有保护好球,没有出手得分。我想我们在防守端弥补了,我们想要赢得比赛,但是我们需要得分才行呀!”
Durant is 0-7 in his career versus the Lakers, but averaged 29.0 points and 8.7 boards against them in 2008-09.
杜兰特在其职业生涯面对湖人时7次全败下阵,但是在2008-09赛季他在湖人身上场均得到29分和8.7个篮板。
Thunderpoint guard Russell Westbrook looks to bounce back from a career-highnine-turnover game against Portland. His 274 turnovers last season werethe most in the league, and he had four in each of the three gamesversus the Lakers.
雷霆后卫威斯布鲁克期望能在对阵开拓者中的生涯最高的9次失误中反弹回来。上赛季他274次失误为联盟最高,而在面对湖人的三场比赛中他都有4次失误。
LosAngeles could again be without Pau Gasol, who has yet to play thisseason due to a strained right hamstring. Gasol accompanied the team toOklahoma City, but the results of an MRI from Monday won't be availableuntil Tuesday.
