Miami Heat Still Have to Dethrone the Lakers
现在的热火还不足以赢湖人
As the 2010 free agency hype calms down, the clear front-runner and newly crowned favorites of 2011 are the Miami Heat.
随着2010年自由球员炒作平静下来,迈阿密热火在自由球员签署方面，成为了领跑者和最新的教科书。（这句话已经无数次地出现了，郁闷。所有文章一开头都是类似这种话）
Miami cashed out. They obtained Chris Bosh, LeBron James to go with Dwyane Wade—all undeniable playmakers that request special attention on the court.
迈阿密做到了，他们获得的波什，詹姆斯和韦德，都是不可否认的需要所有球员在球场上特别关注的组织核心。
I implore that we further examine the Heat roster and analyze their chances at capitalizing in June.
我恳请让我们进一步研究热火球员名单，分析他们现在拥有的资本能使他们在六月分获得多少机会。（这里的六月应该是明年六月蛤~~）
Besides the self-titled “greatest trio in NBA history,” the Miami Heat recently acquired sharpshooter Mike Miller and reliable veteran Zydrunas Ilgauskas (who similarly turned his back on 14 years of Cleveland love, a town that even made him a 2-time All-Star).
除了那些自称为“NBA历史上最伟大的三巨头”的家伙，迈阿密热火队最近收购了神射手米勒。可靠的老将伊尔戈斯卡斯同样拒绝了使他2次入选全明星的克里兰夫的续约请求，追随了詹姆斯。（貌似大Z是以两年280万的底薪签给热火的，可怜的，他明明远不止这些价值。）
Other names on the roster include the “menacing” point guard tandem of Mario Chalmers and Rafer “Skip to my Lou” Alston, James Jones, as well point guard as the Miami favorite, Udonis Haslem.
名单上的其他名字：包括危险的控球后卫马里奥查默斯和街球王阿尔斯通，詹姆斯琼斯，以及迈阿密的最爱，哈斯勒姆。
With the Miami roster almost set in stone and a solid starting five (Chalmers, Wade, James, Haslem, Bosh), the speculation of whether or not the Heat can come together and win a championship begins.
我们可以根据几乎不会改变的迈阿密球员名单和五名实力超群的先发球员（马里奥查默斯,韦德,詹姆斯,尼斯-哈斯勒姆,波什），来推测这些热火球员是否能配合默契，从一开始就赢得冠军。
For Miami to even come close to winning an NBA championship, they must first make it out of a newly rejuvenated Eastern Conference.
对于迈阿密，甚至先不要说能不能夺得冠军，要接近NBA总冠军，他们首先要走出一个新兴起的东部。
The Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic, and Chicago Bulls are all teams that can come together, play hard-nose basketball, and have a legitimate chance at dethroning the three Kings.
波士顿凯尔特人队，奥兰多魔术队和芝加哥公牛队都可以打强硬的篮球（原文是说“硬鼻子的篮球”我从而推出→鼻子硬了不怕揍鼻子→挨揍能力强大→强硬的篮球 ），同时都有一个不小的机会将三巨头拉下马。
Let’s assume this new dynasty finds a way to come out of the Eastern Conference unscathed and ready for the best of the West.
假设这个新王朝找到办法毫发无损地走出东部，并已经准备好和西部最佳进入总决赛的话，
For three years now, the Lakers have taken the Western Conference crown. I see no reason why they can’t do so again. The Lakers are a playoff-proven team. They have found a way to perform in the direst of circumstances. Let’s begin looking at match-ups.
来看看湖人，三年以来，湖人队在西部联盟已经连续称王。我认为已经没有理由阻止他们再次做到这些。湖人队是季后赛能证明自己的团队。他们找到一种方法来完成比赛下的情况是最可怕的，他们能让我们开始见证比赛升华。
Stopping Dwyane Wade and LeBron:
阻止韦德和勒布朗：
Wade and James could very well become the best tandem in all of basketball. Both find a way to slash to the hole, while providing special play-making abilities.
韦德和詹姆斯很可能成为最好的组合。双方可能会找到一种方法看到斜线上的空位，同时提供对方任意发挥的决策能力。
I believe that the Lakers, as a team, have an answer for this. The Lakers have shown one thing in the past three years—they do not slack on defense and can just about stop any offense. Think about the teams the Lakers beat on their way to a ring last year.
我相信湖人队，作为一个团队，对待这样的热火有自己的方案。在过去3年湖人队已经表现出一点----他们不松懈的防守，可以停止对方任何进攻。想想看上个赛季湖人队击败对手得到的一枚戒指就知道了。
湖人队的对手：
Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant (a young, passing and slashing point guard with the newest MVP candidate).
俄克拉荷马城的拉塞尔-威斯布鲁克和凯文杜兰特（一个年轻的，控球后卫与最新的MVP候选人）。
The Utah Jazz’s Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer (a new-age Stockton and Malone).
犹他爵士队的德隆威廉姆斯和卡洛斯布泽尔（一个新时代的斯托克顿和马龙）。
The Phoenix Sun’s Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire (arguably the best passer in the game teamed with one of the best power forwards).
凤凰太阳的史蒂夫纳什和斯塔德迈尔（可以说是比赛中最好的传球手与最好的大前锋之一）。
The Boston “big three plus one.”
波士顿“三巨头加一”。（三巨头加隆多）
Match-up-wise, to counter Wade and James the Lakers have Kobe and Ron Artest on defense. Kobe is an eight-time All-Defensive first team player and Ron-Ron is known as one of the best man-on-man defenders still in the game.
湖人可以明智地将他们对位，以对付韦德和詹姆斯，湖人有科比和阿泰斯特的防守。科比是一个8次入选全防守第一阵容的球员。罗恩，罗恩还是以比赛中最好的防守队员而出名的。
I’m not saying that these two can single-handedly stop the King-King duo, but they can provide a viable answer.
我并不是说这两个人可以单独制止詹姆斯和韦德两个人，但他们可以提供一个可行的方案。
LeBron and Wade are primarily slashers and it is widely known that neither possesses a true three-point shot (enough make the defense adjust). To further counter Wade and James’ slashing tendencies, the middle is clogged by Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum (arguably the best front-court in the NBA).
勒布朗和韦德主要是锋卫摇摆人，这是众所周知的，他们都不是一个真正的3分球射手（却足以使对方调整防守）。为了进一步打击韦德和詹姆斯的得分趋势，内线可以由加索尔和拜纳姆（可以说是NBA最好的内线）阻塞住。
Stopping Chris Bosh:
阻止波什：
The third King in the Miami lineup, Chris Bosh. Chris Bosh is one of the best, if not the best power forward in basketball today and is matched up with Haslem to create the Miami front court.
迈阿密阵容中的三当家---波什。波什是一个最好的大前锋，在前场可以配合哈斯勒姆，创造前场的迈阿密。
But the Lakers still provide an answer in Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum, a battle-tested duo. Gasol and Bynum have obliterated front courts that have consisted of Dwight Howard, Amare Stoudemire, Carlos Boozer, and Kevin Garnett.
不过，湖人依然提供了一个可行的方案：由加索尔和拜纳姆来对位他们。加索尔和拜纳姆都已经在有德怀特霍华德，斯塔德迈尔，卡洛斯布泽尔和加内特组成的前场上占尽风头了。
Chris Bosh, with all his talent and 20-10 games, failed to bring more than two first-round exits to Toronto in seven years. Bosh is an undersized center (6’10”) and played power forward for Toronto (with Andrea Bargnani at center).
波什拥有的才华和20+10两双的比赛，在他在猛龙的七年中，没有使猛龙第三次进入季后赛。波什是一个矮小核心球员（6'10“），可是作为多伦多大前锋发挥着重要的作用（和安德烈巴格纳尼组成了球队的核心）。
Bosh at the five in the current lineup is a mismatch against 7’0” Gasol and Bynum.
在当前热火首发阵容中，波什是匹配不了7'0“的加索尔和拜纳姆的。
Unless Bosh plays the four and Ilgauskas or Joel Anthony step in the play the five, we’re looking at an undersized front court. Then again, I’d love to see Ilgauskas attempt to play defense or offense against the Laker bigs.
如果不是波什出任大前峰，伊尔戈斯卡斯或者乔尔安东尼出任中锋的话，那么我们看到的热火前场阵容的个头就偏小了。另外，我很期待大Z和湖人的大个子们“血拼”（就大Z是高高的，，）
The Second-unit debate:
板凳实力的比较
The Lakers recently added Steve Blake to an already solid second-unit.Lamar Odom, the X-factor for the Lakers, gets a pure point guard in Blake to go with the human trampoline and momentum shifter, Shannon Brown.
湖人队最近已经增加了一个史蒂夫布莱克到替补席中。现在奥多姆---湖人队永远的X因素，可以得到一个纯粹的控球后卫布雷克技巧的传球和香侬布朗的源源不断动力的支持。
Both Blake and Odom could start on a different team (and have). They give the second-unit the ability to run a legitimate offense, while allowing the starters to rest.
布莱克和奥多姆都可以从一个不同的球队开始并且打的很好。他们可以给予板凳充足的实力，当先发球员需要休息时，组织进行合理的进攻。
Miami on the other hand, has Alston, Miller, Jones, and Ilgauskas to lead the charge.
迈阿密方面，有阿尔斯通，米勒，琼斯和伊尔戈斯卡斯为首的替补球员
Alston is a solid second point guard (or third, depending on the re-signing of Arroyo). Miller is a play-making sharpshooter. Jones is great outside threat (career 39.5% three-point percentage). Ilgauskas is just… old.
阿尔斯通是一个坚实的第二控球后卫（或第三，如果迈阿密签了阿罗约的话）。米勒是可以发挥决策能力的神木仓手。琼斯是伟大的外线威胁（职业生涯39.5％的3分的百分比）。伊尔戈斯卡斯只是...老了。（应该意思也是说他不错的吧~~~可是他都36岁了，呃~~真的是老了~~~）
Immediately after the signing of LeBron, people questioned whether or not Miami could put together a full team. Pat Riley has proved his doubters wrong. He has lured a competent bench with the hopes of a championship. Miller was the steal of free agency for Miami as he very much beefs up what would have been a lacking second-unit.
签完勒布朗后，立即有人质疑是否可以将他放在迈阿密中组成一个完整的团队。莱利已经证明了怀疑者是错误的。他曾以获得一个冠军的希望引诱米勒来到迈阿密。米勒的加入会很大程度增强迈阿密所缺少的板凳实力。
I still believe in Odom and Blake as a great secondary. However, I can’t argue that Alston, Miller, and Jones can provide off the bench.
我仍然相信奥多姆和布雷克是伟大的替补球员。但是，我不能说阿尔斯通，米勒，琼斯可以被提供在替补席上。
If Miami signs Arroyo, they will be re-signing the point guard that came second to only Chris Paul in assist-to-turnover ratio.
如果迈阿密签了阿罗约，他们将得到的控球后卫是排在助攻失误比第二只排在克里斯保罗后面。
When you look at a second unit, you’re looking for players that are solid and can do their job. Under this evaluation I’d say the Heat has put together a well-built second-line. Role players and a solid bench can very much carry a team when it matters most.
当你看着替补席的时候，你要觉得你看到的球员是有实力的，而且可以打好自己在球场上的位置。根据这个来评价，我要说热火已经建立了完善的替补席。他们的角色球员和坚实的板凳球员能带给球队巨大的帮助。
LeBron knows this best, as he still owes Daniel “Boobie” Gibson for getting him past my beloved Pistons and into the Finals in ‘07.
勒布朗知道有这么坚实的板凳实力是最好的事情，因为他还记得在07年丹尼尔·吉布森对阵活塞最后一场比赛，
Defense:
防守
Miami will have to find a way to stop the skillful Lakers offense. The Lakers never had a problem outscoring other teams in the playoffs. Against the Suns (the definition of a high-powered offense), the Lakers racked up two 120-point games and showed they could play at Phoenix’s pace.
迈阿密必须找到一个方法来防守湖人队。在季后赛中湖人队和其他球队的比赛比分从来不占下风。对阵太阳，湖人队费拿下了两个120+的比赛，这表明他们也可以适应菲尼克斯的打法。When it comes to playoff basketball, Lakers think defense first and their effective, triangle offense comes natural. The Lakers have shown they can play defense. The plot thickens when teams can shut down the triangle offense.
当谈到季后赛时,湖人认为他们防守第一的战术和他们有效的三角进攻已经越发的娴熟和自然。湖人已经证明他们能够防守。情况有变化的时候，球队也可以进行有效的三角进攻。
Let’s ponder the defensive capabilities of Wade, James, and Bosh. While they can all offer stat-stuffing numbers that show they can play defense, I argue the true defensive capabilities of any of these three players.
然后让我们好好思考韦德，詹姆斯和波什的防守能力。虽然他们都可以提供数据来显示他们也能防守，但我对这三个球员中的任何一个有没有真正的防守能力表示怀疑。
LeBron’s Cavaliers allowed 98.9 points per game in their short playoff stint last year.
上个赛季，拥有詹姆斯的骑士队在短暂的季候赛中场均被其他球队拿下98.9分。
Boston, a team that averaged 93.8 points in the playoffs exploded for 120 against the non-defense-minded Cavaliers.
而波士顿，平均每场被对手攻下93.8分的季后赛完暴了毫无防守意识的骑士。
In the Finals, the Lakers had a very tough time against the hard-nose, defensive Celtics. I cannot emphasize enough the necessity for a team to replicate this style of ball to even come close to taking the Lakers to seven games or even winning.
在总决赛中，湖人队面对一个有着强硬球风，强硬防守的凯尔特人队。关於这点:我再强调也不过分：一个球队必须要适应另一个球队的风格，这样才能拖到第7场比赛，甚至获胜。
LeBron needs to stop relishing in the “block from behind even though I committed the turnover” glory. Wade needs to get low and play good man-on-man defense. Bosh needs to become a bigger and better presence in the paint (similar to KG). Defense must be on the forefront.
勒布朗需要改改在比赛中什么都挡在前面，什么功劳都要抢的习惯。韦德需要得到低位进攻的机会，以及发挥好的防守。波什需要成为的更强大的内线，（类似 KG一样强大的）并且必须在最前线防守开来。
Unless all these pieces come together, it’ll be very hard to stop the leagues most skilled and tested front-court, a coach with more rings than fingers, the triangle offense, and the Black Mamba.
除非这些碎片聚集在一起，否则就很难抵抗联盟最强大的内线+一个拥有的戒指比手指头还多的教练+三角进攻+黑曼巴。（最重要的是放在最后的不。）
