中鋒濃眉,無懈可擊

LOS ANGELES -- Anthony Davis earned six All-Star selections with the New Orleans Pelicans by playing power forward, but he earned his first win with the Los Angeles Lakers by playing center.

洛杉磯的安東尼·戴維斯在鵜鶘時期入選了6次全明星，他打的是前鋒位置。但他在湖人的第一次勝利卻是在改打中鋒後才獲得的。

Lakers coach Frank Vogel moved Davis from the 4 to the 5 at halftime on Friday night, sparking a 95-86 win over the Utah Jazz.

星期五的晚上，湖人主教練弗蘭克.沃格爾將戴維斯從4號位調到5號位。隨着位置的調整，湖人當即以95-86拿下了猶他爵士隊。

Davis finished with a hearty line of 21 points, 7 rebounds, 5 blocks and 2 steals, and he left his imprint on both ends of the floor with the help of the lineup adjustment.

戴維斯表現不俗砍下21分、7板、5帽、2斷，在攻防兩端留下自己的印記。

"Anthony and I talked about it, and he was all for it and wanted to do it," Vogel said.

沃格爾說：“安東尼和我談到此事時，他完全贊同，並想這麼做。”

"If it makes sense, then obviously I don't mind doing it. And it made sense tonight," added Davis, who had declared his preference for playing the 4 at his introductory news conference in July.

之前還在新聞發佈會上堅稱自己更熱衷於4號位的安東尼此刻表示：“如果這有用的話，我不介意這麼做。事實上它今晚確實發揮了作用。”

L.A. shot just 34.8% in the first half with Davis playing alongside JaVale McGee in the middle, which fed into Jazz center Rudy Gobert's hands.

洛杉磯隊上半場投籃命中率僅爲 34.8%，戴維斯和麥基搭檔打中路，這正合爵士中鋒魯迪·戈貝爾心意。

"Rudy is a problem for any offense going against their defense," Vogel said. "If you have another center out there where he is rolling to the basket, Gobert can kind of play center field and clog things up."

“魯迪的防守對於任何進攻來說都是一道坎，”沃格爾表示，“如果你有另一名中鋒去衝擊籃筐，戈貝爾會打中鋒，讓比賽形勢變得更糟糕。”

With Davis shifting to the 5, Vogel also inserted Alex Caruso with the first group at the 1, giving L.A. a smaller lineup with another playmaker on the floor.

戴維斯改打5號位後，沃格爾讓卡魯索搭配先發陣容，打1號位。這樣湖人留在場上的就是小個陣容和更多一名組織後衛。

"We were faster, I think," Danny Green said of the second-half formation. "We were rotating, we were moving. AD defensively was a monster."

“我想我們更快了，” 丹尼・格林在談到下半場的陣型時說。“我們在輪轉，我們在移動。AD的防禦是非常兇猛。”

We did better with the pick-and-roll coverages and talking, communicating and switching. Weakside was there rotating, and we got some steals and got out running and got some easy baskets for us on the offensive end.

我們對擋拆的防守做得更好，不斷進行溝通交流和換防。弱側也不斷調整，有搶斷、快攻並轉化成得分。

Davis, spacing the floor on offense and drawing Gobert out on the perimeter to guard him, opened things up for his teammates. LeBron James scored 12 of his game-high 32 points in the third quarter.

戴維斯拉開空間把戈貝爾吸引到外線，爲隊友創造了許多機會。勒布朗32分中的12分是在第三節得到的。

Having AD at the 5 definitely allows us to create more driving.

戴維斯打5號位確實給我們創造了更多突破的機會。
