WhenBynum went down we told ourselves, as long as he’s back for playoffs we will befine.
當拜納姆受傷倒下的時候我們告訴自己，當他季後賽復出的時候一切都會變得很好。
Whichwas understandable and perfectly logical at the time, we needed Bynum tocompete with the elite teams. But we didn’t know how good we would becomewithout him in the lineup.
Thelineupwe have been talking about since the trade. Andrew Bynum at Center,PauGasol at PF, and Lamar Odom at the small forward position.
自從換來了加索爾之後我們一直都在談論湖人的陣容。中鋒拜納姆、大前鋒加索爾、還有小前鋒奧多姆。
Thenwe round of the starting 5with the veteran savvy, Derek Fisher, and then atthe 2 spot will be thebest player in the league, the M.V.P. Kobe Bryant.
Heckof a lineup, to me theobvious favorite to go all the way. Excluding Fisher,four players thatcould be the go to guy on a lot of teams. Give another yearfor Bynum,and have Odom be this consistent for 82 games. We might have fourAll-Stars come next February.
Mostlikely, we will have towait till next season to see this impressive lineup.But fact is, wedon’t need Bynum or Ariza. Let them heal for next year so wecanchallenge our back-to-back.
Nowagain, let’s not get aheadof ourselves as Kobe always says, “We take it onegame at a time,” butcan you fathom winning the NBA championship, not even atfull strength,then come back next year better than ever?
Ihaven’t seen our guys thisconfident since the championship years with Shaq,this team looksdestined, I can already see some of these sound clips ending upon thoseSports Illustrated Championship DVD’s.
Somemay be mad; some might sayI’m looking too far ahead. But all I’m saying isthis team looks likeit’s ready to be crowned. Has all the pieces, has thecoach, has the MVP, and has the experience to go all the way.
Inever would of thought Iwould say this but we really don’t need Bynum or Arizaback, sure itwould be nice, but I think with this current team were almostselfish torush back a future All-Star.
Notto mention a coach with 9 Championship rings. I can feel it, this feels likeour year, it’s our time!
不用多說我們有一個擁有九枚總冠軍戒指的教練執教。我可以感受到，今年是我們湖人的，是我們領跑的時間。
We’vefollowed because we believed, since Game 5 against the Suns last year, we allcame together and knew this wasn’t okay for our Los Angeles Lakers to bebounced in the first round with little talent to compete.
Sowe followed, and then fellwhen Kobe demanded out, but somehow kept followingknowing this Lakerteam would go back to what it’s known for, competing for NBAtitles.
I said it earlier in the year, and I’ll say it again; Itotally plan on driving down to Figueroa street in June,Yes,that means I would be at a Lakers Championship parade. And yes that obviouslymeans that the Lakers would be 2008 NBA Champs.
