「我星期六會準備好的」LBJ表示腳踝扭傷不會阻止他參加第3場比賽。
LeBron James vowed to be available for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals on Saturday despite rolling his ankle late in Game 2. The left ankle injury is the latest the four-time MVP has had to go through this season but already declared his availability next game.
This is what James had to say to TNT’s Chris Haynes regarding his status when the series shifts to Los Angeles:
LBJ在第2場比賽結束時扭傷了腳踝，但他發誓會在星期六參加西決的第3場比賽。這次左腳踝的傷病是這位四屆最有價值球員本賽季所遇到的最新傷勢，但他已經宣布自己將在下一場比賽中上場。
這是LBJ對TNT的Chris Haynes關於他在系列賽轉戰LA時態所說的話。
I’ll be ready on Saturday. I just stepped on the foot of AG. Nothing is keeping me from playing.”
我會在星期六準備好，我只是踩到了AG的腳。
沒有什麼能阻止我上場打球。
James jostled with Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon for a possible rebound as Nikola Jokic attempted a hook shot in the paint. Jokic’s shot was too strong allowing Gordon to possibly follow it up with a layup.
LeBron James, however, blocked Gordon’s shot just in time but unfortunately stepped on his foot upon landing. James crumpled to the floor grimacing in pain while both teams raced to the opposite end of the court.
The LA Lakers were still trailing 101-96 when James was left on the floor holding his left ankle. Dennis Schroder, who saw an opportunity to score off the break, refused to call a timeout to halt play. The German passed it to Austin Reaves who drilled a crucial three-pointer off the glass to cut Denver’s lead to 101-99.
在Jokic在禁區內嘗試一記勾手投籃時，LBJ與丹佛金塊隊的前鋒Gordon爭奪籃板。Jokic的投籃力量偏大，使得Gordon有可能跟進補籃得分。
然而，LBJ及時封阻了Gordon的投籃，但不幸的是在落地時踩到了對方的腳上。LBJ痛苦地扭曲著表情倒在地板上，兩隊球員紛紛衝向場地的另一端。
當LBJ躺在地板上抱著他的左腳時，洛杉磯湖人隊仍以101-96落後。Schroder看到了快攻得分的機會，拒絕了叫暫停停止比賽的要求。這位德國球員將球傳給Reaves，後者以關鍵的三分球投進，將金塊的領先優勢削減為101-99。
LeBron James, now tying his laces, got ready to defend as the Denver Nuggets were setting up their next play. When Schroder fouled Jamal Murray’s layup attempt, James bent over near the sideline while grimacing in pain. He refused to be taken out of the game.
LBJ現在正在綁鞋帶，準備在丹佛金塊隊組織下一次進攻時進行防守。當Schroder對Murray的上籃嘗試犯規時，LBJ在場邊彎腰痛苦地扭曲著表情。他拒絕離場，堅持繼續比賽。
