So let's check out the standings.

那麼我們來看看排行榜。

The 76 are sitting on top of the East, but barely with the Nets, only half a game back.

76人雖然坐上了東部第一的寶座，但是勉強和籃網隊打成平手，只落後半場。

The Bucks are in third in the West, the Lakers struggling without a D in third place behind the Red hot Jazz and the Suns.

籃網排在西部第三，湖人在沒有D的情況下掙扎在第三位，僅次於紅火的爵士隊和太陽隊。

LeBron and the Crew, of course, trying to repeat as NBA champions seven time NBA champ Robert Ory.

當然，勒布朗和Crew，試圖再次成為NBA冠軍七屆NBA冠軍羅伯特-奧利。

Still here with the ladies in China, I want to ask you, who do you think is the biggest threat to the Lakers in the West?

還是在這裡和中國的女士們一起，我想問你，你認為誰是湖人在西部最大的威脅？

Well, I love first and foremost.

好吧，我首先是愛。

Let me say this.

讓我這樣說。

I love what the Utah Jazz have done.

我喜歡猶他爵士隊所做的一切。

I mean, they're one of the most balanced teams, you know, on both ends of the floor.

我的意思是，他們是最平衡的球隊之一，你知道，在地板的兩端。

I think they're the only team this season that has been top five in both offensive and defensive rating.

我認為他們是本賽季唯一一支攻防兩端評分都是前五的球隊。

They have, you know, an offensive captain, an All Star Donovan Mitchell, a defensive captain in Rudy Gobert, who's number two and blocks number two and rebounds 13 rebounds a game.

他們有，你知道，一個進攻隊長，一個全明星多諾萬-米切爾，一個防守隊長魯迪-戈伯特，他是二號位，二號位擋拆，一場比賽13個籃板。

I also love what the Phoenix Suns have done.

我也喜歡菲尼克斯太陽隊的做法。

You know, Chris Paul walks into the building into the locker room and guess what.

你知道，克里斯・保羅走進大樓 進入更衣室，你猜怎麼著。

He makes Everyone have this expectation to win.

他讓每個人都有這種贏的期望。

And I think you know Devin Booker is obviously, you know, right next to Damian Lillard.

我想你知道德文-布克很明顯，你知道，就在達米安-利拉德旁邊。

Per what?

什麼？

LeBron James tweeted one of the most disrespected but most feared guys, you know when it when it comes to his shooting ability.

勒布朗-詹姆斯在推特上說，他是最不被尊重但又最害怕的人之一，你知道當他的投籃能力。

I say all of that to still say that it's the Los Angeles Clippers that are probably, you know, the same team in the same town right here where I'm at in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Clippers that are probably the biggest rival you know to the Lakers in the West.

我說了這麼多，還是想說，洛杉磯快船隊可能是，你知道的，就在我所在的洛杉磯的同一個城市，洛杉磯快船隊可能是你知道的湖人隊在西部最大的競爭對手。

Just because what I love about them is they have two sure fire talent.

只因為我喜歡的是他們有兩個肯定的人才。

And I know a lot of people want to talk about what you know Paul George did last year in the playoffs.

我知道很多人都想談談你知道的保羅-喬治去年在季後賽中的表現。

I hate all y'all's nicknames, the way off all that type of stuff.

我討厭你們所有的暱稱，路途中所有的那種東西。

What he has done this season has been super impressive, very close to having a 50 40 90 type of season shooting the ball extremely well, tag teaming with Kawhi Leonard, who obviously you know when it comes to the playoffs one healthy and 100% and rested as a guy that a lot of people, no, he knows how to win.

他本賽季所做的事情已經超級令人印象深刻，非常接近有一個50 40 90型的賽季投籃非常好，與Kawhi Leonard標記團隊，顯然你知道當它來到季後賽一個健康和100％和休息的傢伙，作為一個很多人，不，他知道如何贏得。

So that dynamic duo on both ends just being able to match up with LeBron James and potentially challenged Anthony Davis when he comes back.

所以，這兩端的動態組合就是能和勒布朗-詹姆斯相抗衡，回來後有可能挑戰安東尼-戴維斯。

I'm looking at the Clippers, still, largely because they made this big gamble in switching their head coaches from Doc Rivers to tile.

我看上快船，主要還是因為他們下了這個大賭注，把主教練從多克-裡弗斯換成了瓦片。

Ooh, to sort of help Paul George be great again, right?

哦，為了幫助保羅-喬治再次成為偉大的人，對嗎？

Paul, George said.

保羅，喬治說。

Like these pin downs, that's not my speed.

就像這些銷贓，那不是我的速度。

That's not my style.

這不是我的風格。

They made that big gamble, and it's sort of paid off when it comes to Paul Georges game so far, you know this season.

他們做了那麼大的賭注，到目前為止，保羅-喬治的比賽，你知道這個賽季，它算是得到了回報。

So I really do think it will come down to the city of L.

所以我真的覺得會落到L市的頭上。

A.

A.

Even though I love what you know.

儘管我喜歡你知道的東西。

Utah has been able to do so far this season.

本賽季至今，猶他能夠做到。

They will make noise based on the, you know, confidence they're building in the regular season, but right now they have a combination of defense of offense, of now coaching that sort of is helping their stars get over the mental humps and I do think that there is still the biggest threat to the Lakers in the West.

他們會根據，你知道，他們在常規賽中建立的信心來製造噪音，但現在他們有一個防守進攻的組合，現在的教練，那種是幫助他們的明星克服心理上的駝峰，我認為，仍然是湖人在西部的最大威脅。

You know, if I'm Donovan Mitchell and I'm sitting at home, I don't know if he's upright on, but if I'm sitting at home, I'm listening to right now because she started off right.

你知道，如果我是多諾萬-米切爾，我坐在家裡，我不知道他是否是直立的，但如果我坐在家裡，我聽的權利，因為她開始的權利。

Start off right.

開始的時候是正確的。

Talking about all the ways that Utah this, you know, between Rudy Gobert me, Donovan Mitchell, like even my colleague Perfect setup guy.

談到猶他州的所有方式，你知道，在魯迪-戈伯特、我、多諾萬-米切爾之間，甚至是我的同事，完美的設置傢伙。

And then we went, We veered and start talking about some other people.

然後我們就走了，我們偏離了方向，開始談論其他一些人。

Like what?

像什麼？

Do the standing stay right now?

現在站著不動嗎？

Like, uh and so here's the thing.

就像，呃，所以這裡的東西。

Like LeBron even trying to throw shade like No, no shade by shade to the Utah Jazz.

就像勒布朗甚至想向猶他爵士隊拋出像不，沒有陰影的陰影。

Like recently, like, What's the deal with Utah?

就像最近，就像，猶他州是怎麼回事？

Somebody tell me, what is the problem?

誰能告訴我，到底是什麼問題？

Why can't we just give them their props when they're do?

為什麼我們不能在他們做的時候給他們點贊呢？

Why we got the flashy lights of L.

為什麼我們會有L的華燈初上。

A.

A.

No, Utah, Utah, that if I'm the Lakers and I'm a team, if I'm LeBron and I'm like, Oh, I gotta hold this together while you know until it gets back.

不，猶他，猶他，如果我是湖人隊，我是一支球隊，如果我是勒布朗，我就會說，哦，我得把這一切凝聚起來，而你知道，直到它回來。

Yeah, Like, put some respect on their name.

是啊，像，把一些尊重他們的名字。

What's going on?

發生什麼事了？

Uh, no, No, no.

呃，不，不，不。

First of all, Donovan Mitchell is my guy.

首先，多諾萬-米切爾是我的人。

Three stripes, life family.

三條，生活家庭。

Okay, Kimberly, is he Will he still be with his stuff?

好吧，金佰利，他... ...他還會帶著他的東西嗎？

Because I know that what I say will motivate him to do what he needs to do when it comes to the playoffs.

因為我知道，我說的話會激勵他在季後賽的時候做他需要做的事情。

I can't really.

我真的不能。

This was all about motivation.

這都是為了激勵。

This was all about motivation.

這都是為了激勵。

That was it.

就是這樣。

Motivation works two ways.

激勵有兩種方式。

You know, the motivation works two ways, and now you sit here in LeBron's watching this, too.

你知道，動力是雙向的，現在你也坐在勒布朗的這裡看這個。

And to think about the biggest threat to the Lakers is health.

而想想湖人隊最大的威脅就是健康。

That's the biggest threat.

這才是最大的威脅。

Because if a D cannot get healthy and stay healthy, that is the only thing that's going to derail the Lakers.

因為如果一個D不能獲得健康並保持健康，那是唯一能讓湖人脫軌的東西。

And it's not gonna be because of LeBron is not gonna be because 80 it's going because all the other guys on the team, Dennis The Menace, is playing extremely world Montrezl Harrell, who they took from the Clippers who I thought were going to be there.

而這不會是因為勒布朗不會是因為80，它會因為所有其他的人在球隊，丹尼斯的威脅，是打極其世界Montrezl哈雷爾，他們從快船隊誰，我以為會在那裡。

The biggest threat is not the biggest threat.

最大的威脅不是最大的威脅。

And Utah Jazz.

還有猶他爵士。

You know, Utah Jazz reminds me of that team out East called the Milwaukee Bucks.

猶他爵士隊讓我想起了東部那支叫密爾沃基雄鹿隊的球隊。

You have a great season you do all these things, but the playoffs is a different beast.

你有一個偉大的賽季，你做這些事情，但季後賽是一個不同的野獸。

I'm telling you, the Lakers have won a championship and and they know the only way to be thought of as a great team is to go back to back.

我告訴你，湖人隊已經贏得了一個總冠軍，而且他們知道只有背靠背才能被認為是一支偉大的球隊。

You know, if you think about all the teams throughout the NBA history Oh, that's nice.

你知道，如果你想想NBA歷史上所有的球隊... ...哦，那很好。

They want the NBA championship, but they're not considered great until they go back to back.

他們想要NBA總冠軍，但在背靠背之前，他們不算偉大。

And that's what LeBron and A D wants to do.

而這正是勒布朗和A D想要做的。

So they are motivated and it doesn't matter where they finished because it's covid.

所以他們有動力，在哪裡完成都無所謂，因為這是covid。

We don't know what's going on, the protocol for people coming into the arenas.

我們不知道發生了什麼，人們進入場館的協議。

We know Utah, they have fans and they're gonna need their fans because they are not the Lakers biggest threat.

我們知道猶他，他們有球迷，他們會需要他們的球迷，因為他們不是湖人最大的威脅。

And I love Rudy Gobert.

而且我喜歡魯迪-戈伯特。

I think he's one of the best players, and defensively he's underrated.

我認為他是最好的球員之一，防守上他被低估了。

But the biggest threat to the Lakers is health.

但湖人隊最大的威脅是健康。

Nobody else in the West.

西方沒有其他人。
