Los Angeles Lakers' Russell Westbrook vows to push Anthony Davis 'every
single night'
湖人Russell Westbrook說他之後"每天晚上"都會去逼Anthony Davis

Following their first official practice together as teammates, Russell
Westbrook dubbed Anthony Davis as "the ultimate weapon" and vowed to maximize
the big man's impact for the Los Angeles Lakers this season.
在全體正式練習後，Russell Westbrook稱隊友Anthony Davis是個"終極武器"(Ultimate
weapon)，他並誓言，本季要讓這個湖人大個的場上影響力極大化。

"He's one of a kind," Westbrook said of Davis on Wednesday. "There's nobody
like him who can do everything he's able to do at his size. And my job is to
make sure I continue to push him each day, each practice, each game, so he
can be at the top of his game each and every night."
「他是獨一無二的，」Westbrook星期三講到AD時說到。「以他的體型，沒有人可以像他
這樣可以做到所有事情的。而我的工作就是確定我每天，每次練習，每場比賽都會去逼
他，好讓他在每一場比賽都是在頂尖的狀態。」

Davis was nowhere near the top of his game last season. He missed 36 games
due to injury -- exactly half of L.A.'s pandemic-shortened 72-game season --
which was more than he missed in any full 82-game season; he missed 21 games
in the 2015-16 season.
上個賽季AD距離他的頂尖狀態有一段距離，上個賽季他因傷缺席了36場比賽--剛好是去年
縮短賽季72場的一半--這比他過去正常賽季的82場比賽的狀況還缺席了更多；他在2015-
16年缺席了21場比賽。

Davis averaged the fewest rebounds (7.9) and blocks (1.6) of his career and
also shot his worst percentage from the field (49.1%) and free throw line
(73.8%). His 21.8 points per game marked his lowest scoring average since his
second year in the league.
籃板場均(7.9個)以及火鍋(1.6)來到生涯最低，投籃命中率(49.1%)以及罰球(73.8%)也是
最差。場均21.8分則是在他進入聯盟第二年後的最低均分。

About to enter his 10th season, Davis, 28, has already racked up a slew of
accomplishments in the NBA -- eight All-Star appearances, four All-Defensive
Team selections and, of course, the 2020 championship in the Orlando bubble.
即將邁入第十年球季，28歲的AD已經拿到諸多NBA裡面的成就--8次全明星，4次年度防守
隊伍，以2020年在泡泡圈裏面的NBA總冠。

Westbrook believes Davis' ceiling should be even higher than what he produced
last season.
Westbrook認為AD的天花板要比去年的表現要高的多。

"He's been in this league a long time, so he understands how to play the
game," Westbrook said. "He knows what he needs to turn up, and I know now he
wants to turn up. So it's my job to make sure that's up every single night."
「他在聯盟裡打很久了，所以他知道要怎麼打比賽，」Westbrook說。「他知道他需要怎
樣才能更好，我現在也知道他想要更好。所以，我的工作就是確保每天晚上都是那樣。」

Davis, who spoke to reporters while sitting next to Westbrook after practice,
heard what the Lakers' new point guard said about him and embraced it.
AD在練習後坐在Westbrook的旁邊，他跟記者說他有聽到這位湖人新控衛講的話，然後說
他準備好了。

"I like teammates who are going to push me," Davis said. "Encouragement -- I
don't need encouragement. I want to be pushed. I want guys to tell me when
I'm messing up. Me and Russ had numerous conversations in this first practice
alone about things we can do together as a duo when we're both on the floor."
「我喜歡會逼我的隊友，」AD說。「鼓勵? 我不須要鼓勵。我想要被逼，當我打的爛的
時候我要我的隊友跟我說。我跟龜龜在第一次練習時就講了很多，講到若我們兩個在場
上的話要怎麼樣搭配。」

Davis went on to list a handful of teammates beyond Westbrook -- LeBron
James, Rajon Rondo, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, DeAndre Jordan -- who
stay on him.
除了Westbrook，AD還列了一長串名字--LBJ，Rajon Rondo，Carmelo Anthony，Dwight
Howard，DAJ--他們都會關照他。

"That's what I want," he said. "I got numerous guys that's always in my ear
about things, so you can't ask for more as a player who wants to get better."
「那就是我要的，」AD說。「我有很多人隨時在我耳邊叮嚀，所以，身為一個想要變得
更好的球員，不能要求更多了。」

Lakers coach Frank Vogel, who said earlier this week that he would push Davis
in his own way by playing him more at the 5 this season, believes that Davis
is more of a self-starter than he was letting on.
湖總Frank Vogel本周稍早說他會以他自己的方式去逼AD，本季會讓AD打更多五號位置，
他相信AD比起以前的時候，他更是個自動自發的人。

"I think Anthony doesn't quite frankly need a whole lot of that," Vogel said
after the first of L.A.'s two-a-day session to open training camp. "He's very
motivated to have a bounce-back year from what happened last year and we were
all disappointed that he wasn't able to be at his best due to the injuries
and the lack of the offseason.
「我認為AD實際上不太需要很多的逼迫，」Vogel說。「相對於去年的狀態，他很有動機
想要回復成以前的狀態，而因為傷勢以及去年的縮短休賽季導致他沒辦法拿出最好表現，
我們大家都很失望。」

"But he's definitely put in the work this offseason, he looks really good and
we'll all be pushing each other."
「但是今年休賽季他的確做了很多的訓練，他現在看起來很棒，而我們大家也一直互相逼
對方的。」
