(節錄文章後半關於評論湖人的部份...)

Pau Gasol played like a man against Big Baby but like an infant against
everybody else.
Pau Gasol在對上Big Baby時，打的像個男人，不過對上其他人卻像個小娃兒。

Although he played with great energy, Lamar Odom played like he was made out
of straw.
雖然Lamar Odom活力十足，不過打起來像是稻草做的一樣。

Derek Fisher was tough but not tough enough to spit against a hurricane.
Derek Fisher是很悍沒錯，不過沒悍到可以向颶風吐口水。

Vladimir Radmanovic forced several shots, passes and dribbles; played his
usual invisible defense; and otherwise skittered his way through the game
lost, as frightened and as confused as a lamb in a lion's den.
Vladimir Radmanovic 勉強做出幾次投射、傳球和運球，一如往常看不見的防守，要
不然就是依他的方式溜達到比賽輸掉，像身處在獅子洞穴裡的羔羊一樣的害怕，一樣
的驚慌失措。

Sasha Vujacic played defense as though he'd never been confronted with a
screen before.
Sasha Vujacic的防守看起來好像他從來沒面對過掩護一樣。

Jordan Farmar, Luke Walton, Trevor Ariza and Ronny Turiaf played out the
string.
Jordan Farmar、Luke Walton、Trevor Ariza 和 Ronny Turiaf 打的荒腔走板。

And what about Kobe?
那Kobe呢？

He was completely flummoxed by the Celtics defense — everywhere he turned
there was a belligerent player in a white shirt waiting for him. Kobe managed
to get to the hoop only once in the first half — and missed a layup.
Otherwise, he was reduced to being a long-distance jump shooter. After a
flurry of makes to start the game, Kobe finished shooting 7-for-22, including
4-for-16 on his jumpers.
他完全被賽爾蒂克的防守給搞慌了，不論他到哪裡，總是有一個身穿白衣要作戰的球
員在等著他，在第一節裡Kobe只有一次設法接近籃框，一個沒進的上籃。除此之外，
他淪落成一個長距離跳投射手，在開賽後的幾波攻勢後，Kobe 最後22投7中，包括16
投4中的跳投。

Indeed, Kobe spent most of his time trying to force the action, as attested
to by his four turnovers and lone assist.
當然啦，Kobe花了大部分的時間試圖要做些什麼，他四次失誤和一次助攻可以為證。

For a player who is universally celebrated as being the best hooper on the
planet (and rightly so), Kobe was the sixth-best player in Game 6 — behind
Garnett, Allen, Pierce, Rondo and Posey. One-against-five is always a losing
equation.
對一位普遍被認為是地表上最好的籃球員而言(確實也是)，Kobe 是第六戰裡表現第六
好的球員，排在Garnett、Allen、Pierce、Rondo 和 Posey 的後面，一打五永遠是敗
北的方程式。

Even so, the Lakers also deserve credit for surviving the Western Conference
playoffs so easily. The latest finals competition between Los Angeles and
Boston was certainly in the continuum of previous matchups between these two
storied franchises in that, no matter which team happened to win in any given
season, power always triumphed over finesse — and great defense always
overcame great offense.
即便如此，湖人能在西區季後賽裡輕鬆的生存下來還是值得稱許，洛杉磯和撥士頓間最
新的對決毫無疑問是前兩個傳奇球星間對決的延續，不論在哪一個球季，哪一個球隊獲
勝，魄力總是凌駕在謀略之上，傑出的防守總是壓過傑出的進攻。

So it is, was, and always will be.
以前就是這樣，現在依然，未來也將會是如此。
