NBA分析師：湖人沒有防守
“The Lakers can’t [defend],” he said on On the Ball with Ric Bucher as he pro
ceed with commenting individual defense of some players. “Let’s just look acro
ss the board. After Anthony Davis there isn’t a quality defender on the team, p
articularly on the perimeter.
NBA分析師Ric Bucher在節目中談到了湖人的防守。
「湖人沒有防守，」Bucher說，「看看陣容，球隊裡除了AD之外，就沒有其他的高品質防守
球員了，尤其是在外線。」
“Russ Westbrook – subpar defender. Rajon Rondo – now is subpar defender. Carm
elo Anthony – subpar defender. DeAndre Jordan – subpar defender, otherwise he
’d still be in Brooklyn. Kent Bazemore average defender. Malik Monk – at best
average defender.
「龜龜-平均水準之下的防守者，軟豆-現在也是平均水準之下的防守者，甜瓜-平均水準之
下的防守者，小喬丹-平均水準之下的防守者，否則他現在還在籃網，Bazemore是平均水準
的防守者，Monk-最多也只是平均水準的防守者。」
“Avery Bradley made his name as a defender but at this point that was then and
this is now. Austin Reaves – seriously subpar defender. I don’t know if Dwight
Howard can still defend. But when there’s now resistance on the perimeter and
he’s approaching his 36th birthday, he assuredly can’t move well enough to cov
er up the deluge of wings and point guard that are running rampant in the paint.
”
「小AB以防守成名，但那是過去，不是現在，Reaves-遠低於平均的防守者，我不知道DH還
能不能防守，但當外線出現狀況，他已經36歲了，肯定無法很好的補位來防守在內線奔跑的
後衛和側翼。」
According to Bucher, the Lakers are not making additional effort if their first
attempt in defense fails, which he attributes to the team’s age.
Bucher補充說道，湖人的防守缺乏延續性，第一道防線被擊破之後不會付出額外的努力，這
主要還是因為球隊的年齡。
“Now at times the Lakers are not bad on their initial effort. But there is rare
ly a second or a third which is what you’d expect when you have a group of mid-
thirties-somethings on the floor. At some point a pair of those old legs, and it
just takes one, is going to be slow to rotate or to recover.
「現在的湖人在最初的防守中表現得並不差，但當你的隊伍裡有一群三十多歲的人在場上時
，很少會有第二或者第三個是能夠防守的，在某個時候，一雙老腿，在第一次防守之後，輪
轉或換防都會很慢。」
