[ESPN] 西部半决赛湖人与爵士的阵容分析 预计湖人4-2淘汰爵士

                         翻译：kobeallen

这两支球队以不同的方式进入了他们的西部半决赛。湖人轻松淘汰速度超快的丹佛掘金，而爵士则艰难地击败难缠的火箭；湖人利用他们所具有在攻守转换中的耐性横扫丹佛掘金，而犹他爵士则依靠他们出色的控卫找到火箭出色防守中的漏洞，并通过团队的努力赢得了这6场系列赛对抗的胜利。

这两支球队都喜欢跑轰打法，但在半场阵地战中都依靠出色的进攻体系来获得出色的投篮机会。湖人的三角进攻以球的移动、掌握时机、拉开空间为基础；而犹他爵士则以决定性的掩护，出色的跑位和精准的内线传球为基础。

耐性对于这两支球队来说都非常重要，务必要避免过早投出一般的投篮，而应该在24秒进攻时间后段创造出色的投篮机会。同时这两支球队内外线都拥有能够吸引包夹的球员。

湖人会在初期的第一场和第二场比赛中占有优势，因为他们早早就获得了休息和准备的机会（他们在爵士3-1领先火箭时就能去休息和准备）。但是犹他爵士并不是就没有他们自己的优势了。在季后赛首轮八个对抗中最激烈、艰苦的系列赛中挺过来，让爵士已经进入了真正的季后赛竞争水准。湖人首轮能够凯旋而归，一部分原因是掘金只在四场比赛中一场展现了自己真正的水准，这让湖人在对爵士的第一场比赛中有可能还没有进入真正的比赛状态。休斯顿火箭顽强阻击爵士，而掘金几乎没有对湖人作任何的抵抗。

犹他爵士将面临最大的变数：球队将怎么去防守保罗-加索尔和科比？加索尔作为湖人球员还没有在本赛季和爵士交过手。通过看湖人和丹佛的比赛录像，爵士会发现加索尔经常很快就融入到湖人的进攻中去，迫使对方不知道是集中防守加索尔而去冒科比在另一边爆发的危险，还是漏出加索尔而去冒加索尔给对方制造破坏力的危险。更糟的是，当协防的队员去防守科比时，加索尔能够找到切入篮下或者在另一边处于空位的队友。当防守都集中到加索尔和科比时，沃顿和拉马尔-奥多姆就能够给对方重重一击。

科比带来如此多的挑战——但是爵士拥有这一优势，就是他们的强悍打法。如果菲尔-杰克逊希望科比能够在这样激烈的对抗中关键时刻去终结比赛的话，那么科比必须每一场比赛都要获得休息。麦迪就没有能够在这样激烈的比赛中关键时刻扛起重任，因为他太累了。爵士犯规可不会手软啊。科比会获得很多罚球机会，但他会在期间有所受挫。另外，科比可不能在防守一端获得喘息的机会，因为爵士那种打法如果科比没有专心盯防自己的防守对象而是在内线寻找抢断机会的话，他们就能够通过掩护帮助队友找到空档并在内线获得轻松的得分机会。为了能够表现得像首轮那样出色，科比不得不将自己的比赛提高到另一层次——这可是很少有人能够做到的哦，但是科比就属于这极少数中的一员。

对于爵士来说，要想在这系列赛中赢得四场比赛的话，卡洛斯-布泽尔必须要比他在首轮中给球队带来要多的贡献。湖人那边没有能够找到一名能够和布泽尔身高、力量、球技的结合相抗衡的球员。他如果能够打出25+12的比赛，就能够帮助德隆-威廉姆斯和奥库在外线找到空档。犹他爵士在常规赛中拥有联盟第二佳的进攻，但火箭大部分时候还能限制下他们。湖人也是一支防守出色的球队，但是他们的防守却还不如火箭队的。因此在这个系列赛中，我们能够期待高比分的比赛。

UTAH JAZZ	POSITION	LOS ANGELES LAKERS
Deron Williams 18.8 ppg 3.0 rpg 10.5 apg	PG	Derek Fisher 11.7 ppg 2.1 rpg 2.9 apg

德隆-威廉姆斯：成功闯过了季后赛首轮，并在第六场比赛中扮演了英雄的角色，三分球9投6中。在季后赛首轮中，他场均得到20.8分，命中率达到50%，其中三分球22投13中。他运动能力出色，在比赛中快速推进，但他也能给慢下来，将球队带入自己的比赛模式。他能给在外线和空切中给对手创造威胁。同时，当球队需要得分时，他常常挺身而出。现在威廉姆斯有能力率队在半决赛中战胜任何对手。在常规赛对湖人的四场比赛中，他表现出色，场均23.3分，但是湖人也让他场均有4.8次失误，为爵士在面对西部球队时最高。

费舍尔：稳定的老将，他能够在快速或者缓慢的比赛节奏中表现出色。在湖人和掘金的对抗中，本没有期待他太多的得分，但他做得很好，场均仅有2次失误。他可是三角进攻之外和进攻轮转中危险的三分射手，季后赛首轮三分球12投6中。他同样在内线表现强悍，而且在进攻端知道爵士存在的缺陷。但是本赛季常规赛在面对老东家爵士时，他的投篮非常糟糕，命中率仅有28%，这是他在对西部球队中最糟糕的命中率。

Ronnie Brewer 12.0 ppg 2.9 rpg 1.7 spg	SG	Kobe Bryant 28.3 ppg 6.3 rpg 5.4 apg

布鲁尔：在首轮爵士击败火箭的第六场比赛中，他命中了这系列赛中的唯一一个三分，但是他更多是一名突击手和中距离投手。他在首轮表现不错，投篮准，而更多是把精力用来防守和对付麦迪。现在他要去对付科比了，这可是一项艰巨的任务。他拥有出色的运动能力和身体条件，臂展又长，将不得不准备好在球场上积极奔跑，并防守科比在地位中早期的进攻。在常规赛对湖人的四场比赛中，他场均接近15分，并利用他的身高优势和爵士的进攻来摆脱科比的防守（科比常寻求抢断机会）。

科比：像克里斯-保罗一样，科比在季后赛中将MVP水准提高到更高的层次，并横扫掘金。在季后赛首轮的四场比赛中，他场均33.5分，6.3次助攻，5个多篮板，而且还有至少一次抢断和一个盖帽的表现。在第四场比赛中的最后6分钟（而这六分钟才是真正的激烈比赛），他得到14分，这甚至盖过了他在第二场比赛中49分的表现。另外，他是唯一的一名最有可能能够独自改变一场比赛或者一个系列赛的球员。他那求胜决心渗透整场比赛并激烈着队友，而队友也认为他是最出色的比赛“终结者”。这位本赛季MVP得主在本赛季常规赛面对爵士时打得非常出色，场均29.8分，命中率高达56%。

Andrei Kirilenko 11.0 ppg 4.7 rpg 1.51 bpg	SF	Vladimir Radmanovic 8.4 ppg 3.3 rpg 1.9 apg

基里连科：在季后赛首轮对火箭的第一场比赛中，基里连科爆发，得到21分，12投8中。之后他的表现非常糟糕，42投仅14中。虽然他仍通过抢断和盖帽去帮助球队，但整体来说他的效率并不好。他已经进入季后赛激烈的比赛状态，这系列赛中快速的节奏将有利于他的发挥。本赛季常规赛对湖人的四场比赛中，他场均14.5分，更重要的是他场均得到5.5次的罚球机会。爵士能否在进攻端取得成功，他的积极和在弱侧的投篮将是至关重要的。

拉的马诺维奇：在首轮对掘金的比赛中，他没有能展现出持续的努力和决心，而且他的表现已经被他的替补沃顿盖过了。他三分球19投7中，并能够利用身高优势去防守。他是一名出色的射手，能将投篮紧紧连贯在一起。因此如果他找到状态的话，让他去帮助科比和加索尔是非常冒险的。

Carlos Boozer 21.1 ppg 10.4 rpg 1.23 spg	PF	Lamar Odom 14.2 ppg 10.7 rpg 3.5 apg

布泽尔：布泽尔是爵士历史上首轮最兴奋的球员已成为过去。他在首轮中投篮不好，而且仅一次取得20分，场均仅得16分，命中率42.8%（91投39中）。在这个对抗中，他将会给湖人制造麻烦，他能在篮下很好的将力量和敏捷结合在一起，并且左右手进攻的感觉都非常出色，同时是个篮板怪兽。他在常规赛对湖人的比赛中场均22分和12.7个篮板。如果他能够一对一单打加索尔，湖人真的很难防守爵士。他需要在外围命中投篮，迫使加索尔出来防守他，然后他就能够通过运球突破加索尔，人们可是低估了他这样的能力。
奥多姆：差不多像大卫-韦斯特一样被人们低估了，他能够以各种各样的方式得分，并在篮板上给予湖人很大的帮助。他还能防守，正如他在对掘金的比赛中向人们展示的那样，在三场不同的比赛中都能够贡献2次抢断。他作出了聪明的决定，尽可能少去尝试三分投射，首轮中他三分只出手了2次。这个决定让他更多地往篮下突破，且帮助队友提高了投篮命中率。奥多姆更多冲击内线对湖人整体来说是相当的不错。常规赛对爵士的比赛中，奥多姆表现出色，场均15分，命中率达到惊人的63%。

Mehmet Okur 14.5 ppg 7.7 rpg 2.0 apg	C	Pau Gasol 18.9 ppg 8.4 rpg 3.2 apg

奥库：在火箭出色的防守下，他仅有两场比赛进攻表现出色，但他在第六场比赛中得到19分，而此前场均仅得到13.2分。不过他篮板抢得很积极，场均摘下12.7个篮板，其中有一场抢下16个篮板，一场抢下18个篮板。总体来说，是一名重要的三分投手，常常在最后时刻通过掩护去投三分。本赛季在奥库出场时，爵士的50场胜利中他三分球命中率达到42.8%，而在爵士输掉的22场比赛中他三分球命中率仅有30.1%。湖人考虑到他的才能，将会努力让他找不到进攻的感觉。本赛季在他对湖人的三场比赛中，场均仅得9分，命中率29%，其中三分球命中率仅为18%。

加索尔：也行他并不是湖人整个季后赛首轮的MVP，但却非常接近。他在半场阵地和攻防转换中给予掘金毁灭性的打击，场均22.3分，命中率高达58%。另外，他场均得到9个篮板和2.8次抢断。加索尔还是一名三角进攻中的出色传球者，对掘金的四场比赛中场均5次助攻。加索尔将会在内线吸引包夹，而且他在防守一端中不需要队友的协防——在NBA中很少有中锋能够同时具备这样的能力。本赛季他还没有遇到过爵士。他被贴上了“球风软”标签的不公将会在面对这支强悍的爵士队时得到证明。

爵士替补

米尔萨普：在首轮对火箭的比赛中，这名爵士的超级替补表现可靠。他既能命中艰难的投篮，又能积极地争抢篮板。他喜欢对上湖人，场均10.5分，命中率高达63%。

哈普林：虽然没有出色的技术统计，但他是爵士战术的所必需的部分，能够给对手制造麻烦。他是一名强悍的球员并能够在压力下命中投篮。

科沃尔：在爵士首轮四场胜利中，他有三场比赛得分达到两位数。拥有一手出色的三分，且还能够在混乱中切入内线面对对方的小个后卫得分。同时他也是一名积极的防守球员。

普莱斯：在对火箭的第一场和第二场比赛中，三分球4投3中，且都是重要投篮。只好就没能再投中一个三分了，但他应该在对湖人这个系列赛中表现更好些。他是一名非常特别的球员，自信且勇敢。


湖人替补

沃顿：他在首轮中得分平均每场达到两位数，为14分，31投22中，其中三分球5投4中。他表现得很出色，如果他保持这样的命中率和自信，那么他将成为一个很大的未知因素。

法码尔：他是湖人对掘金时打得不好的少数球员之一。但是他是湖人一个重要的板凳球员，特别是他的防守。本赛季对上爵士时，他打得不错，命中率高达62.%，场均14.5分。

姆本加：作为球队的第四位大个子球员，他必须准备好上场打几分钟；他似乎比在达拉斯时打得更加出色。

萨沙：他在首轮中表现出色，21投10中，其中三分球16投8中。他是一名被低估了的防守者，并能够在攻防两端为湖人做出贡献。

概要

犹他爵士是一支具备夺得总冠军戒指实力的球员。他们内外线的结合应该会给湖人制造麻烦。威廉姆斯正向真正的球星迈进一大步，这样的球星能够带领球队闯进下一轮；同时爵士还是季后赛激烈对抗的老手，他们不会在这样紧张的气氛中感到不适。但是湖人队整体打得是如此的出色——几乎每个位置都很好地弥补了另一个位置的不足。有加索尔在内线和科比无处不在的的表现，他们几乎是无敌的了。这个系列赛应该不会出现横扫，实际上，第一场会对爵士有利。但最后更加出色的球队将会赢得更多的比赛，而这支球队就是洛杉矶湖人。

预计：湖人4-2爵士

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs2008/columns/story?page=ScoutingJazzLakers


英文：



These two teams entered their semifinals matchup fromtotally different perspectives. The Lakers outran super-fast Denver,while Utah out-toughed super-tough Houston. L.A. used patience embeddedin its transition game to sweep Denver. Utah relied on its terrificpoint guard to find holes in Houston's top-notch defense, and they allmade plays to win a grueling six-game series.
Both teams love to run, but rely on superioroffensive systems to get good shots in the half-court sets. L.A.'striangle is predicated on ball movement, timing and spacing. Utah's isbased on crushing screens, perfect routes and pinpoint interiorpassing.
Patience is the key for both teams, turning downaverage shots early to get good shots later in the shot clock. And eachteam has players who can command doubles inside and out.
L.A. has an early advantage in Games 1 and 2 in thatit is far more rested and prepared to play Utah, which it could focuson once the Jazz had a 3-1 lead. But Utah is not without itsadvantages. Coming off the most intense and hard-fought series of theeight first-round matchups, Utah is already playing at aplayoff-winning level. The Lakers, who cruised partially because Denveronly competed at the proper level in one game out of four, may notstart Game 1 in the proper state of mind. Houston fought Utah for everyinch of space and on most shots, Denver fought for almost nothing.
Utah is the team facing the biggest variable: How does it defend Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant?Gasol did not play the Jazz as a member of the Lakers this season.Watching Denver tape, the Jazz will see that Gasol gets involvedquickly, oftentimes, in L.A.'s offensive sets, forcing teams to eitherrotate toward him and risk getting burned by Kobe on ball reversal, orleaving him alone and risk Gasol doing the damage himself. Or worse,when help defenders are shading toward Kobe, Gasol finds otherteammates cutting to the rim or spotting up opposite. Luke Walton and Lamar Odom can really hurt a team focused solely on Gasol and Kobe.
Kobe brings so many challenges -- but one thing theJazz have going for them is their physical style. Bryant will need resteach game if Phil Jackson expects him to close games in strong fashion,something McGrady could not do because he was exhausted. There are nosoft fouls coming from Utah. Kobe will get lots of free throws but willtake a beating along the way. He cannot rest on defense, either,because Utah's Flex or UCLA sets will free up his man off screens andget him easy looks inside if Kobe's not alert and engaged on his ownguy, rather than playing center field looking for steals. To play aswell as he did in the first round, he will have to take his game toanother level -- something few are capable of, but he's one of them.
For Utah to have a chance at pulling off four wins, more must be contributed from Carlos Boozerthan what he gave in the first round. Boozer has no foe from the otherside who can match his size, strength and skill set. A few 25-and-12games could be the answer Utah needs to open up Deron Williams and Mehmet Okuron the perimeter. Utah had the second-best offense in the regularseason, but Houston shut it down for large parts of games. L.A. has agood defensive team, but they are not at Houston's level. Sohigh-scoring games can be expected.

UTAH JAZZ	POSITION	LOS ANGELES LAKERS
Deron Williams 18.8 ppg 3.0 rpg 10.5 apg	PG	Derek Fisher 11.7 ppg 2.1 rpg 2.9 apg

Williams: Rolled through the first round andplayed the part of hero in Game 6 by going 6-for-9 on 3-pointers. Heaveraged 20.8 points on 50 percent shooting, and went 13-for-22 on 3sfor the series. He's more athletic than ever and pushes at a breakneckpace, but he can slow things down and get Utah into its sets. Dangerousin the post or off cuts -- and Utah looks to him there more often whenit needs buckets. Williams is good enough, now, to carry his team to asemifinal victory against any opponent. He scored well in four gamesversus L.A. this season (23.3 points), but no team from the West forcedmore turnovers against him, at 4.8 per game.
Fisher: Steady veteran who can play well infast or slow tempos. Needed to get the Lakers moving against Denverwithout looking to score much, and he did that well, committing justtwo turnovers in the four games. He's a dangerous shooter out of thetriangle or in transition, and he hit 6-of-12 from 3-point range in thefirst round. He's strong inside, and knows all of the nuanced optionsthe Jazz have on the offensive end. But he shot horribly this seasonagainst his old team -- just 28 percent from the field, his worstperformance against any team from the West.

UTAH JAZZ	POSITION	LOS ANGELES LAKERS
Ronnie Brewer 12.0 ppg 2.9 rpg 1.7 spg	SG	Kobe Bryant 28.3 ppg 6.3 rpg 5.4 apg

Brewer: Made his only 3-pointer of the seriesto help Utah ice Game 6, but is more of a slasher and midrange shooter.Played within himself and took good shots in the first round,conserving his energy for the defensive end and T-Mac. Now he getsKobe, a tougher task. Very athletic and physical, with long arms, he'llhave to be ready to race the floor and defend Kobe in the post in earlyoffense. He averaged more than 15 points against the Lakers in fourgames, using his size and Utah's offense to break free of Kobe, wholooks for steal opportunities off the ball.
Bryant: Like Chris Paul, Kobe took his MVPlevel up a notch, doing it all to sweep Denver. He averaged 33.5points, 6.3 assists and more than five rebounds in the first round, andrecorded at least one steal and one block in all four games. His 14points in the final six minutes of Game 4, the only truly competitivegame in the closing minutes, might have even overshadowed his 49-pointeffort in Game 2. Either way, he's the one player most likely to changea game and a series by himself. His will to win carries over to allaspects of the game and inspires his teammates, who consider him to bethe best "closer" in the game. The MVP winner roasted Utah this season,scoring 29.8 points on 56 percent shooting.

UTAH JAZZ	POSITION	LOS ANGELES LAKERS
Andrei Kirilenko 11.0 ppg 4.7 rpg 1.51 bpg	SF	Vladimir Radmanovic 8.4 ppg 3.3 rpg 1.9 apg

Kirilenko: Kirilenko started out on fire inGame 1 against Houston, scoring 21 points on 8-for-12 shooting. Then hefizzled after that, hitting just 14-for-42. Still made his presencefelt in every game, getting steals and blocks, but overall he was notvery effective. He had come into the playoffs red hot. The fast pace ofthis series should play more to his benefit. Scored 14.5 points in fourgames vs. L.A., and more importantly, took 5.5 free throws per game.His activity and shooting on the weak side will be crucial to Utahhaving success on offense.
Radmanovic: Inconsistent effort anddetermination against the Nuggets, and was outplayed by his backup,Luke Walton. He did hit 7-for-19 from 3, and can make plays on defensedue to his length. He is a talented shooter who can string together bigshooting games, so leaving him to help on Kobe or Pau is a riskyventure if he's on.

UTAH JAZZ	POSITION	LOS ANGELES LAKERS
Carlos Boozer 21.1 ppg 10.4 rpg 1.23 spg	PF	Lamar Odom 14.2 ppg 10.7 rpg 3.5 apg

Boozer: Boozer is the Jazz player who'shappiest the first round is history. He really struggled with his shotand overall game, scoring 20 points just once and averaging only 16points on 42.8 percent shooting (39-for-91). He is a matchup problemfor L.A., combining incredible strength and nimbleness around the rim,with a great feel for scoring with either hand. And he's a beast on theglass. He averaged 22 points and 12.7 rebounds in their regular-seasonmatchups against the Lakers. If he can score one-on-one versus Gasol,L.A. will really struggle to defend Utah. He needs to hit his perimeterjumper to force Pau to close him out hot, and then he can work past himoff the dribble, which is an underrated talent of his.
Odom: Almost as underrated as David West --can score in a variety of ways and really helps the Lakers on theglass. He can make plays on defense too, as he showed Denver byrecording two steals in three different games. He has made the smartdecision to take less 3-pointers this year and only attempted two inthe first round. That decision allows for more drives by him and higherpercentage shots by his teammates. Odom being locked in is a great signfor the Lakers overall. He had great looks against Utah in the regularseason, scoring 15 points on a sizzling 63 percent shooting.

UTAH JAZZ	POSITION	LOS ANGELES LAKERS
Mehmet Okur 14.5 ppg 7.7 rpg 2.0 apg	C	Pau Gasol 18.9 ppg 8.4 rpg 3.2 apg

Okur: Only had a couple of big offensive gamesagainst the Rockets' rugged defense, but did come through in Game 6with 19 points after averaging just 13.2 for the series. But he wasvery active on the glass, pulling down 12.7 rebounds per game,including games of 16 and 18 boards. Such a valuable 3-point shooter ingeneral, skipping off ball screens or rubbing off influence screens inlast-second-shot situations. In Utah's 50 wins in which Okur played, heshot 42.8 percent from 3, but in their 22 losses, he made just 30.1percent. The Lakers respect his talent, and will work to take him outof the offense. He scored just nine points a game on 29 percentshooting (18 percent from 3) in his three games vs. the Lakers.
Gasol: Maybe he wasn't the MVP of the entirefirst round, but he was close. He destroyed Denver in half-court andtransition action, averaging 22.3 points on 58 percent shooting. Healso added nine boards and 2.8 blocks per game, too. Gasol is gifted asa passer inside the triangle offense -- he averaged five assistsagainst Denver. Gasol will command a double-team inside and often doesnot need help on defense -- a rare combination for a center in the NBA.He has not faced the Jazz this season. His unfair (and incorrect) labelof being "soft" will be put to rest against this physical team.

UTAH JAZZ	POSITION	LOS ANGELES LAKERS
Paul Millsap 8.1 ppg 5.6 rpg 1.0 apg	BENCH	Luke Walton 7.2 ppg 3.9 rpg 2.9 apg

JAZZ
Paul Millsap: Utah's supersub was solidagainst Houston. He can make tough shots and is relentless on theboards. He loved playing the Lakers, scoring 10.5 points a game on 63percent shooting.
Matt HarpringNot a stat stuffer, but is integral to the Jazz strategy of poundingpeople and making everything difficult. Harpring is a great tough guyand capable of hitting pressure jumpers.
Kyle Korver:Had double figures in three of Utah's four first-round wins. Great3-point threat, but can also score inside off the shuffle cut and postagainst smaller guards. He is also an active defender.
Ronnie Price:Hit 3-of-4 from 3 in Games 1 and 2, all big shots. Never hit another,but should play better in this series. He is a very special athlete whoplays with confidence and courage.
LAKERS
Luke Walton: He doubled his scoring average inthe first round, at 14 points on 22-of-31 from the field and 4-of-5from 3. Just played lights-out and becomes a huge X factor if hemaintains that shooting stroke and confidence.
Jordan Farmar:Farmar is one of the few Lakers who did not play great against Denver.But he's capable of playing a big role off the bench, especially inwhat he can do on defense. He loved seeing the Jazz this season,hitting 62 percent of his shots and scoring 14.5 points per game.
DJ Mbenga: Must be ready to play spot minutes as the fourth big; seems to have improved since his Dallas days.
Sasha Vujacic:He played well and within himself -- making 10 of 21 shots and 8 of 16from 3. He's an underrated defender and can provide a spark for theLakers on either end of the floor.
BOTTOM LINE



Utah is a team talented enough to win a ring. Itsinside-outside combination should hurt L.A. Williams is making stridestoward real stardom, the type of player who carries a team to anotherround, and the Jazz are veterans of tough playoff matchups. They willnot be uncomfortable playing in this pressurized atmosphere. But theLakers are so well put together -- each piece seemingly a complement toanother. With Gasol inside and Kobe everywhere else, they have beenalmost unbeatable. There will be no sweep here -- in fact, Game 1 couldeasily go Utah's way -- but in the end I see the better team winningthe most games. And that team is Los Angeles.
Prediction: Los Angeles Lakers 4, Utah Jazz 2
