Lakers need more from Odom while Bynum hurting

安猪受伤，奥当须贡献更多

BOSTON (AP)—The Lakers count on Lamar Odom(notes) to provide a lift off a bench that has been outplayed by the Celtics in the NBA finals.

They’re still waiting.

湖人指望着奥当带领板凳前进，然而，他们在总决赛中被凯尔特人打败了。

他们依然在等待（奥当崛起）

With Andrew Bynum’s(notes) sore right knee cutting into the center’s playing time, it’s even more important that Odom step up in Game 5 on Sunday night. Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson suggested an unorthodox way to get him jump-started.

“I was thinking of an electrode, you know,” he said Friday to a round of laughter. “Something that would really be a stimulus.”

随着安猪的膝盖受伤，奥当在第5场中站出来就显得尤为重要。湖人主教练KFC 也是想了一个特别的方法去刺激他爆发。

“我已经想到了用电极，我想你明白”KFC周五一阵坏笑着说：“这也许能真正的激励他。”

Odom wasn’t much help in Boston’s 96-89 win Thursday night that evened the best-of-seven series at 2-2. He had 10 points and 7 rebounds in a series-high 39 minutes, while Bynum was limited to 12 minutes—only 2 in the second half. Jackson believes the Lakers can win Game 5 even if Bynum can’t play.

奥当在昨天的比赛中没有帮什么忙，也让凯子以96-89将总比分扳成2-2。在安猪因伤受制只上场12分钟、下半场仅得2分的情况下，他得到了系列赛以来最长的出场时间——39分钟，却只拿下了10分7个篮板。但KFC依然自信的认为即便安猪不能打，湖人也会赢得天王山大战。（真不明白他为何这么自行，奥当明显已经被打爆了）

Off the bench, the Celtics outscored the Lakers 36-18. For the series, Boston’s reserves hold a 102-70 edge in points and a 45-37 lead in rebounds.

“They do a great job of moving the ball, and different guys took shots,” Odom said. “You can only apply so much pressure when different guys take shots.”

就板凳来说，凯子得分36-18领先于湖人，整个系列赛，凯子的替补得分上也以102-70领先，篮板球也是45-37领先湖人。（果然不愧是最差板凳啊，季后赛从来没有赢过）

“他们在转移球方面做得很好，而且攻击点很多”奥当说“当对手攻击点如此广泛的时候你只能施加这么大的压力了”

While the 7-foot, 285-pound Bynum is a tough matchup for the Celtics big men inside, Odom, at 6-10 and 230, brings the ball up court and plays around the perimeter instead of putting his lanky frame near all that pounding near the basket.

That was costly in Game 4 when Boston’s beefy but agile Glen Davis(notes), at 6-9 and 289, scored 9 of his 18 points in a fourth quarter that started with the Lakers leading 62-60. Odom began that quarter with just 4 points and didn’t score again until the Celtics had gone ahead 71-64.

对凯子来说，7尺、285磅的安猪对他们的大个子是一个强硬的对位，但是6尺10、230磅的奥当，却经常是拿球游弋在外围而不是用他的相对细长的身体去攻击篮筐。

这也（让湖人）付出了昂贵的代价，在第四场最后一节开始时湖人还领先62-60，但之后凯子的强壮却灵活的戴维斯（身高6尺9，体重289磅）拿下了全场18分中的一半分数。奥当在第四节开始仅仅拿到4分，而在凯子以71-64领先之后他就再也没有得分。

“He still has a guard role out there,” Jackson said. “So his responsibility is to actually bring the ball up and initiate the offense. That gives us kind of an unusual attack and gets Kobe (Bryant) at the wing, and it’s something that obviously Boston is quite prepared to try and stop.

“And the quickness of Davis, who’s a rather unusual player in the NBA with his size, still his quickness is, I think, affecting Lamar.”

“他在场上依然是个后卫的角色”KFC 说：“所以他的任务是控球然后组织进攻。这样会给我们一种很特殊的攻击方式，并能够让科比到两翼去（进攻），但明显凯子对此准备充分而阻止了（这样的进攻）。”

“还有戴维斯的敏捷，这个在NBA 中体型很特殊的球员，我想的他的敏捷影响到了奥当。”

In the four games, Odom is averaging 7.5 points and 5.3 rebounds. In Game 1 alone of the Western Conference finals against the Phoenix Suns, he scored 19 points with a career playoff high 19 rebounds. He finished that series averaging 14 points and 11.8 rebounds.

Without Bynum, Pau Gasol(notes) is the Lakers’ only powerful inside presence. The Celtics have Kevin Garnett(notes), Kendrick Perkins(notes) and Davis to play that role.

在本次系列赛的4场比赛里，奥当场均有7.5分和5.3个篮板。在西部决赛对阵太阳的第一场中，他砍下19分还有职业生涯季后赛新高的19个板，最终整个系列赛的成绩单是14分11.8个篮板。

没有安猪，枷锁成了
湖人唯一的强力内线，而凯子还有加内特、帕金斯、戴维斯去扮演这个角色。

“We just have to run our offense and have movement, especially with Andrew out of the game,” Odom said. “We have to move the ball and be quicker. We just can’t stand around and watch.”

Los Angeles had more second-chance points than Boston in each of the first three games. The Celtics turned that around in Game 4 with a 20-10 scoring advantage and a 16-8 dominance in offensive rebounding. Odom grabbed just one off his own backboard.

“我们只要去运转我们的进攻，动起来打，特别是当安猪不在场时，”奥当说：“我们必须要更快的转移球，不能只是站着看。”

湖人在前三场比赛里每一场的二次进攻得分都比凯子多，第四场这种情况倒了过来，凯子在这方面以20-10领先，并且以16-8的优势统治了进攻篮板。而奥当只抓了一个前场篮板。

He must play closer to the basket to help the Lakers improve on that.

“He had a couple post-up opportunities that he chose to step out and take the ball outside rather than post it,” Jackson said. “(He) probably wasn’t quite comfortable in those positions at that time.”

他必须更靠近篮筐去帮助湖人改善这点。

“他有两次的背身单打的机会，他选择了带球到外围而不是起球进攻，”KFC说：“（他）那时也许不适应那种位置。”

Odom also had trouble against Boston’s big men in the 2008 finals, won by the Celtics in six games. He averaged 13.5 points and 9 rebounds. Bynum didn’t play that season after Jan. 13 because of a left knee injury.

奥当在2008年输给凯子的总决赛中也是被凯子的大个子打爆。虽然场均有13.5分和9个篮板，但是当时安猪在1月份伤了膝盖后就没有参加后面的比赛。

“Lamar struggled two years ago in this series in this matchup, and he has to break through kind of that mental gap that he had from that experience to move forward,” Jackson said. “We’re just trying to find a comfort spot for him out there. He looked uncomfortable (Thursday) night, and he got a couple double whammies go against him; Garnett out there for a while and then he had Davis coming at him, and things kind of snowballed on him.”

“奥当两年前在这样的对位中表现挣扎，他必须突破当年的经历造成的心理障碍继续前进”KFC说：“我们正在努力给他在场上找一个合适的定位，他（上一场）看起来不适应，他遭遇了两个双重的打击；先是加内特，接着戴维斯有接着冲击他，使得他有点崩溃了。”

Odom doesn’t have to carry the team. But he must play better, especially as a rebounder.

“I’m not going to put it on my shoulders to win or lose the game,” he said. “We have to move the ball and become a team, become a tighter team.”
