Traditionally, Lakers assistant coach Frank Hamblen said, Game No. 2 in the playoffs has the potential to be the trap game.
湖人助理教练法兰克·汉伯伦说,第二场往往会成为季后赛潜在的麻烦。
The Lakers lead the best-of-seven series against the Utah Jazz, 1-0, and play Game 2 Tuesday at Staples Center. But Hamblen, in charge of putting the Lakers' game plan together against the Jazz, doesn't want his team to be comfortable, even if the Lakers are playing at home.
"I think the visiting team has a better comfort level [for Game 2]," Hamblen said. "Utah has been in the city now. They are comfortable with their inner circle, with their surroundings, with the court. They know what the fans are going to be like for the most part. I think it's just overall a more comfortable feeling for them.
They probably know how we are going to play, and we know how they are going to play. I think the scales kind of balance it out."
他们可能猜得到我们的战术,也知道自己该如何应对。我认为天平渐渐趋于平稳了。
From the looks of things, the Jazz may have gotten comfortable in its surroundings in the fourth quarter of Game 1.
回顾一下第一场的第四节,爵士看起来已经可以轻松应对湖人。
The Jazz, down by 14 points in the second quarter and by eight to start the fourth, outscored the Lakers, 26-23, in the final quarter and opened a four-point lead before faltering.
"We've shown things and they've shown things," Hamblen said. "Now it's up to both teams to counter."
“双方都出现了一些问题。”汉伯伦说“现在是到了球队奋斗的时候了。”
Hamblen outlined several keys for the Lakers to be successful in Game 2.
汉伯伦列出了几个湖人想要在第二场胜出的关键字。
Match Utah's physical play
与爵士队的身体抗衡。
The Jazz commit a high amount of fouls, and it likes to put bodies on opponents. Utah had 26 fouls called against it in Game 1, the Lakers 20.
爵士有着大量的犯规,他们喜欢跟对手肉搏。在第一场爵士有着26次犯规、湖人20次。
"They are going to set hard, physical screens. That's just always how they have been and how they are taught and coached," Hamblen said.
“他们的卡位将会有更多的对抗、更加的强壮。他们一直如此表现,他们也是这样被执教的。”汉伯伦说。
Transition defense
轮换防守
The Jazz will run some fast breaks. If Utah doesn't have a quick advantage, it will get into a "flow-game" to look for easy scoring opportunities.
爵士将有一些快攻。如果爵士在速度上没有优势,他们将会努力寻找轻松得分的机会。
"You need to contain their transition and dribble penetration game," Hamblen said.
“你需要牵制他们的轮换以及加速切入,”汉伯伦说。
Movement
移动
The Lakers have to move their bodies and the ball on offense. And they can't allow the Jazz to load up on defense.
湖人需要动起来,进攻时更好的运转球。他们不能被爵士防死。
Look for the Jazz to make few adjustments.
湖人需要对应爵士做一些调整。
Stick to the system
整体
Utah will keep putting the ball in the hands of All-Star point guard Deron Williams and let him orchestrate the offense. The Jazz will set screens, run pick-and-rolls and have excellent ball and body movement.
