钱宁弗莱得感激NBA季后赛使用的规则跟环法自行车赛不相同。太阳队在西部决赛揭幕战中尝到了近4个月来的最大惨败，但是他们在大比分上并不会大比分落后于"黄色领骑衫"。
弗莱貌似已经忘记首战他们输掉了21分，他说：“他们不可能再领先30分的，那已经结束了，我们将整装再出发，希望能表现得更好些。”
虽然首战以107-128大比分落败，但是太阳队周二在斯坦普斯训练时表现出了相当乐观的状态。太阳主帅金特里在记分台与球队人员在探讨，而纳什则在对面静静地品尝着一杯茶。
第二战打响之前，小斯仍然在大发狠话。
在西部决赛开始之前，小斯曾豪言要对湖人庞大的前场阵容打出强硬，但是揭幕战在替补出场斩下19+19的奥多姆面前，小斯的表现就相形见绌了。
小斯评价奥多姆的表现如是说：“他运气挺不错。”小斯如果拒绝球队合同而成为自由球员的话，那这几场或许是他与太阳最后的比赛了，而他看起来特别暴躁。
小斯此役仅拿到3个篮板，而奥多姆则是创下季后赛生涯的篮板新高。小斯说：“我们只要确保有人守住他，我认为我把精力都放在加索尔和拜纳姆身上，所以让他有机可乘抢到19板。”
奥多姆和他的队友对于小斯的“发狠话”只能一笑置之。奥多姆全能，充满侵略性的表现帮助湖人在上半场压住太阳，而在第三节则是科比猛飚下21分接管了比赛。
奥多姆说：“我们打得不错，但还能做得更好，希望下一场我还能'好运'”。
加索尔在一旁插话：“运气是拼出来Ｄ。”
没错，多一点点好运湖人或许能气势如虹地连续第三年闯入总决赛，他们在季后赛目前已经取得７连胜。
小斯的队友可不会想依赖运气来让他们从首战的惨败中反弹。他们对挡拆进攻仍抱有信心，相信它在系列赛后阶段会起到作用，他们同样也希望阻止湖人再送出５８％投篮命中率，而且球队得分还创下了近两年季后赛的新高。
纳什此役贡献１３分１３助，他说：“我们为比赛制定的一些计划其实我们干得挺不错，只是无法将球投进而已。我们要切断他们的攻防转换，并且为自己球队创造更多轻易得分的机会，但是他们所做到的，的确值得我们致敬的”
在此之前太阳队自从４月２４日后就没输过球，他们的季后赛连胜也在这场自１月１６日后的最大惨败后戛然而止，而且也是自３月２６日后丢分最多的一场比赛。自从１月２５日，２６日之后太阳队就没２连败过，他们以２８胜７负的后阶段发飙结束常规赛，最终以西部３号种子闯入季后赛。
而科比本场４０分也是整个赛季对阵太阳的首次４０＋，在轻松地完成另外一次训练后他并没有接受记者的采访。虽然关于科比堆积的伤势流言不断，但是太阳意识到伤病完全没有限制科比，他在连续５场砍下３０＋之后，本场狂飚４０分，这也是自从上赛季总决赛后科比在季后赛的首次４０＋。
太阳主帅谈到了科比的表现，他引出了海湾战争中的施瓦茨科普夫将军。他说：“我们可以派遣任何人防守科比，甚至让施瓦茨科普夫将军去对付他，但是他就是可以把球投进去。瞧瞧第一节他压哨命中的那个球，那正是我想说的，这就是为什么他可以领３０００万的薪水。我认为他是历史上最好的终结者。 ”
而湖人大部分人对于取得开门红则不是很兴奋，这正是他们６场主场未尝败绩的原因。
禅师对于湖人的防守表现还是有很多不满，虽然那很大程度上被太阳糟糕的命中率所掩盖，而老鱼费舍尔则担忧在７场的系列赛中都进入太阳最喜爱的节奏。
费舍尔说：“有时候我们打得实在有点快了，这是第二战我们必须调整的方面，我们务必确保加索尔，拜纳姆，科比，阿泰等人有机会杀入内线来考验对手的防守。那正是我们难以对付的原因。”
菲尔杰克逊无视外界对他球队的任何分心的影响，由于他对于亚利桑那州移民法的不明确言论导致了第一战时赛场外聚集了示威抗议的群众。禅师说在赛后他看到大概３０名抗议者在斯坦普斯外，并且在他驱车离开的时候向他抛了一些“字眼”。
禅师在芝加哥和洛杉矶拥有一段神奇纪录，当赢下系列赛首战后他取得整个系列赛胜利的战绩为４６胜０负。他说：“运气也是比赛的一部分，你去拼得你的运气，这是体育界常说的一句话。”

Phoenix at Los Angeles
Channing Frye(notes) is just grateful an NBA playoff series doesn’t follow the Tour de France’s rules.After enduring their largest blowout loss in four months in the Western Conference finals opener, the Phoenix Suns don’t have to begin Game 2 way behind the guys in the yellow jerseys.
“They’re not going to start out with a 30-point lead,” said Frye, forgetting the Suns lost to the Lakers by a mere 21 points Monday night. “It’s over, and we’re going to be even again, so hopefully we’ll do a better job.”
The Suns seemed cautiously upbeat Tuesday at their Staples Center workout following Los Angeles’ 128-107 victory in the opener. Coach Alvin Gentry held court with team personnel at the scorers’ table, while Steve Nash(notes) calmly sipped a cup of tea across the way.
And Amare Stoudemire was still talking tough before Game 2 on Wednesday night.
The Suns forward, who promised physical play against the Lakers’ bulky frontcourt before the series, was unimpressed by Lamar Odom(notes), who had 19 points and 19 rebounds off the Lakers’ bench in the opener.
“He had a lucky game in Game 1,” said Stoudemire, who seems particularly fiery in what might be his last few games with Phoenix if he declines a contract option and becomes a free agent this summer.
“We’ve just got to make sure we box him out,” said Stoudemire, who managed just three rebounds while Odom set a career playoff high on the boards. “I think I focused so much on (Pau) Gasol and (Andrew) Bynum to where he sneaked in there and got 19 boards.”
Odom and his teammates could only chuckle at Stoudemire’s bravado after another workout at their El Segundo training complex. Odom’s versatile, aggressive effort helped Los Angeles hold off the Suns in the first half until Kobe Bryant(notes) scorched them for 21 points in the third quarter.
“It was good. We can do better,” Odom said. “Hopefully I can have another lucky game.”
“You have to earn luck,” Gasol chimed in.
With a little luck, the Lakers could be on a roll to their third straight NBA finals after a commanding performance in their seventh straight playoff win.
Stoudemire’s teammates aren’t counting on good fortune to help them recover from their one-sided loss. They remain confident their pick-and-roll offense will create easier baskets later in the series, and they also hope to stop the Lakers from hitting 58 percent of their shots, as Bryant and Co. did in their highest-scoring playoff game in more than two years.
“Some of the things we game-planned for, we actually did well,” said Nash, who had 13 points and 13 assists. “We just didn’t hit shots. We want to cut down on their transitions and create some easier stuff for ourselves, but some of the things they did, you’ve just got to tip your hat to.”
The Suns hadn’t lost since April 24, but their playoff streak skidded to a halt in their most one-sided loss since Jan. 16, featuring the most points they’ve allowed since March 26. Phoenix hasn’t lost back-to-back games since Jan. 25-26, when the Suns began their 28-7 finish to the regular season, pushing them into third place in the conference standings.
Bryant, who had the first 40-point game against the Suns all season, didn’t speak to reporters after taking it easy in another practice session. Yet for all the talk about Bryant’s accumulated injuries, the Suns realize he shows no signs of slowing down after five straight 30-point playoff games capped by his first 40-point postseason performance since last year’s NBA finals.
“The shots he made, we could run anybody at him—we could run Schwarzkopf at him,” Gentry said, referring to former Gulf War Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf. “It doesn’t matter. He’s going to make them. The shot he made at the end of the first quarter, that’s what I’m talking about. That’s why they pay him $30 million a year. I think he’s the best finisher that ever played.”
The defending NBA champions mostly seemed unimpressed by their opening victory, which kept them unbeaten in six home playoff games.
Coach Phil Jackson felt numerous flaws in Los Angeles’ defensive performance were covered up by the Suns’ poor shooting, while Derek Fisher(notes) worried about going through a seven-game series at Phoenix’s preferred pace.
“Sometimes we played a little bit too fast,” Fisher said. “Something we want to come back to in Game 2 is making sure Pau and Drew and Ron (Artest) and Kobe get their opportunities inside to test their D. That’s where we’re difficult for teams to guard.”
Jackson dismissed the notion of any distraction for his team in the small protest outside Game 1 over his unclear stance on Arizona’s new immigration law. The coach said he saw about 30 protesters outside Staples Center after the game, and they had a few choice words for him as he drove away.
“Luck is part of the game,” said Jackson, whose teams in Chicago and Los Angeles are 46-0 after winning the first game of a playoff series. “You make your own luck, that’s what sports people like to say.” |
