Jared Dudley says teams ducking Lakers made big mistake
Jared Dudley說有球隊想閃湖人是犯大錯的

The NBA’s playoff seedings have been set, and the Los Angeles Lakers are
temporarily in the No. 7 slot. They will face the Golden State Warriors in a
play-in game and will have to win one of their two play-in games in order to
make the first round of the playoffs.
NBA季後賽席位已經確定，湖人暫居第七。他們得要在附加賽面對勇士，在兩場附加賽的狀況下得要拿下一場後，才能進入季後賽首輪。

Because the Lakers are the defending champions and have LeBron James and
Anthony Davis, some teams were trying to avoid facing them in the playoffs.
The Clippers specifically lost their last few games, likely to avoid the
Lakers.
因為湖人是衛冕軍，加上隊上有LBJ跟AD，有些隊伍想要在季後賽避免碰到他們。尤其是快艇，在過去幾場比賽輸球，很有可能就是想避免碰到湖人。

If teams were trying to avoid the Lakers early, Jared Dudley thinks that was
unwise.
若是有球隊想早早就閃過湖人的話，Jared Dudley認為那很蠢。

Dudley, who only plays sparingly for the Lakers, was asked after Sunday’s
110-98 win over the Pelicans about teams seemingly ducking the Lakers. He
said he thinks it was a mistake because facing the Lakers early in the
playoffs would have been wiser than facing them later.
星期天的比賽湖人以110-98擊敗鵜鶘後，Dudley被問到有球隊似乎在閃避湖人。他說他認為那是個錯誤的想法，因為如果要面對湖人的話，早面對比晚面對來的聰明。

ESPN記者Dave McMenamin推特: https://tinyurl.com/uu8zsycz
"Jared Dudley, without naming names, said teams were “managing” their
schedules down the stretch to avoid the Lakers. He thinks it’s a bad
strategy: says the Lakers will be most susceptible to an upset in the first
round and will only get stronger from there."
「達叔沒有特別指明哪一隊，他說有球隊嘗試想調整賽程，想要閃避面對湖人。他認為那是個很糟的策略，他說湖人在季後賽首輪是最容易被擊敗的，但是那之後就是越來越
強。」

Dudley pointed out that with James coming off an ankle injury, the team to
face the Lakers is sooner rather than later. The more games the Lakers play,
the more chemistry they will have built, and the harder they will be to
defeat.
Dudley指出LBJ剛因踝傷復出，其他球隊最好是早點面對比晚面對好。當湖人打更多的比賽後，他們會有更多的團隊默契，他們將會更難被打敗。

His point is probably accurate. But Dudley also understood why a team like
Denver would want to avoid them altogether.
Dudley的論點或許正確。但是Dudley也懂得為什麼像丹佛金塊這樣的隊伍會想要避免碰到他們的。

Reddit鄉民表示:

"Dudley sounds like a lakers fan on Twitter or r/lakers"
「為甚麼達叔聽起來像是推特上或者湖版上的湖人粉啊？」

"I mean isn't that what he technically is"
「我的意思是從技術層面上，他不就是湖人粉嗎？」

"why is jared dudley still in the league"
「為什麼達叔還在聯盟裡啊？」

"Get in the playoffs first sir"
「先生，先打進首輪好嗎？」

"He’s a team mascot at this point"
「目前他就是個球隊吉祥物。」
