Lakers Great Hopes This Is LeBron James’s Last Year With Franchise 來源：https://bit.ly/4aRZr4H 作者：Brigid Kennedy https://i.imgur.com/l8Gekrm.png Former Lakers champion Byron Scott seems to think it's probably time for LeBron James to move on from the Purple and Gold. 前湖人冠軍球員 Byron Scott 似乎認為，LeBron James 或許已經到了該離開「紫金軍團」 的時候。 Speaking as a guest on Power 106 Los Angeles on Thursday, Scott and co-host Conc rete discussed James's recent claim that today's NBA is more challenging than th e NBA of the 1980s and 90s. Scott 週四以來賓身分登上廣播節目 Power 106 Los Angeles，與主持人 Concrete 討論 J ames 近日聲稱「當今 NBA 比 1980、90 年代更具挑戰性」的言論。 "Listen, you know I'm a big LeBron fan," Scott said. "But that was laughable to me when I heard that. I said, 'Wait a minute. So you saying that it's easier to play in the 80s than it is today?'" 「你知道，我一直都是 LeBron 的球迷，」Scott 說。「但當我聽到那番話時，真的覺得很 好笑。我心想，『等一下，你的意思是說，在 80 年代打球比現在更輕鬆嗎？』」 "The game was so much more physical then," Scott went on, adding that the "pace of the game was just as fast as it is today." Scott 接著表示：「當年的比賽身體對抗強度高得多，」並補充說，「比賽節奏其實和現在 一樣快。」 "So I just thought it was laughable, you know, coming from one of the greatest p layers that ever played the game to say that it is harder to play now than it wa s then." 「所以我才會覺得那番話很好笑。畢竟這是出自史上最偉大的球員之一之口，卻說現在打球 比當年更難。」 Then, Concrete asked the ex-Showtime Laker if he was "ready" to see Bron go from L.A. 隨後，Concrete 問這位前「Showtime」時期湖人球員，是否已經「準備好」看 Bron 離開 洛杉磯。 Scott sat for a minute, mulling his answer, then replied: "Yeah," he laughed. "L ike I said, I'm a fan [of LeBron's], but I don't mince words either. I think thi s should be his last year here [in L.A.]." Scott 沉思了一會兒，然後笑著回答：「是的。就像我說的，我是 LeBron 的球迷，但我也 不拐彎抹角。我認為這應該是他在洛杉磯的最後一年。」 Take a peek at that below, starting at 3:56: （相關片段可從 3 分 56 秒開始觀看） https://youtu.be/x-LFqsoF6y4?si=CVvJmCH448VoPRDD Speaking on an episode of his Mind the Game podcast released at the end of Janua ry, James detailed for listeners the differences he sees between today's NBA and that of years past. 在一月底播出的《Mind the Game》Podcast 節目中，James 向聽眾說明他認為當今 NBA 與 過去的差異。 "The game is different. I want people and our fans to understand that playing 82 games in the '80s and '90s is not the same as playing 82 games in the 2020s. It 's just not," he said. "The way we play, the level of pace, the level of the spe ed that we're playing at, it's a different game now. It's a totally different ga me." 「比賽已經不同了。我希望球迷能明白，在 80、90 年代打滿 82 場比賽，和在 2020 年代 打滿 82 場並不一樣，真的不一樣，」他說。「我們現在的打法、比賽節奏與速度，都完全 不同。這是一種截然不同的比賽。」 Even if LeBron is correct (and it's worth noting that he is hardly the first per son to make such an assertion), it sounds like Scott is simply ready for the Kin g's outsized influence on the Lakers to head somewhere else. And that's fair eno ugh; as excellent as Bron is, he does wield enough power to direct the future of whichever franchise he is with. That might get old sometimes. 即便 LeBron 的說法或許正確（而且值得一提的是，他並不是第一個提出這種觀點的人）， Scott 聽起來只是準備好讓這位「King」對湖人的龐大影響力轉往他處。這也無可厚非—— 儘管 Bron 的表現依然出色，但他確實擁有足以左右所屬球隊未來走向的影響力，這種情況 有時難免讓人感到疲乏。 Luckily for Scott, though, the 41-year-old James will become an unrestricted fre e agent this summer. So we'll see. 不過對 Scott 來說，好消息是，現年 41 歲的 James 將在今年夏天成為不受限制自由球員 ，接下來就拭目以待了。 - 大家覺得這季會是樂邦在湖人的最後一舞嗎？ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 126.233.84.233 (日本) ※ 文章網址: https://webptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1772267702.A.9D9.html
