Asthe New Jersey Nets try to avoid tying the worst start in NBA history,perhaps their only advantage is they'll have an extra day of rest overthe Los Angeles Lakers, who will play the second of back-to-back games. 尽管新泽西网队努力避免打平NBA历史上最糟糕的开赛纪录，但是或许他们比起对手湖人队仅有的优势就是多了一天的休息了，湖人队明天将是背靠背作战。
Asidefrom that, it seems there's little keeping the Nets from losing their17th straight to open the season Sunday night at the Staples Center. 除此之外，看起来网队在周日于斯台普斯中心的这比赛会不出意外地完成了开赛季的17连败。
Witha loss to the Lakers, New Jersey (0-16) would join the 1988-89 MiamiHeat and the Los Angeles Clippers during the lockout-shortened 1999season as the only teams to start 0-17. 网队（16胜0负）只要在此役中落败，他们便将会与1988-89赛季的迈阿密热队和因罢工而缩水的1999赛季的洛杉矶快船队一道成为NBA赛季开局17连败仅有的球队。
Toavoid reaching that point, New Jersey will first need a betterfirst-half performance than they delivered in Friday night's 109-96defeat to Sacramento, the third in a four-game Western road trip. 为了不到达如此田地，篮网队在上半场的表现首先必须要比他们周五以96-109败给国王时做得更好，那是他们西部四连客的第三站。
Whilematching the franchise's longest losing streak, the Nets fell behind byas many as 22 points late in the second quarter. However, they ralliedto cut the deficit to six in the third quarter and seven in the fourthbefore allowing the Kings to pull away. 带着球队队史最长连败的纪录，网队在与国王一战的第二节末段一度落后多达22分。然而，他们之后同心协力，在第三节将比分缩至6分，在第四节国王最终奠下胜局之前他们将分差缩至7分。
"Wehave to come out with the same type of intensity we had in the secondhalf no matter if it's the Lakers or the Knicks," guard Devin Harrissaid. "Yeah, they're the defending champions, but they can be beat. Ifwe give the effort we need to, we'll keep ourselves in the game." 网队后卫哈里斯说：“我们得拿出下半场那同样的表现，无论对手是湖人还是尼克斯，没错，他们是卫冕冠军，但是他们不是不能击败的。如果我们发挥出该有的努力，我们会有机会的。”
TheNets haven't kept themselves in too many games while averaging anNBA-low 85.6 points and shooting a league-worst 40.3 percent from thefield. Ten of their losses have come by double digits, including eachgame during this trip. 网队太多的比赛里都无法跟对手坚持到最后，场均85.6的得分位于联盟低分行列，而40.3%的投篮命中率则为全联盟最差。他们其中10场败仗都输了双位数，包括了这段西部征程的每一场比赛。
Asore right groin has limited Harris, the team's leading scorer lastseason, to six games and three starts. In his return to the startinglineup Friday, he scored a season-high 25 points despite shooting 6 for22. 右腹股沟的伤势限制了哈里斯的发挥，他是网队上赛季队里的得分王，但本赛季他仅出场6次，其中3次首发。周五他回到首发阵容后，他得到了赛季新高的25分，虽然投篮仅是22中6.
Harrisshot 31.0 percent in New Jersey's two losses to Los Angeles lastseason, including a 5-for-16 performance in a 120-93 road defeat onNov. 25, 2008. The point guard, however, topped 20 points against theLakers for the first time in his career with a team-high 21 in that game. 哈里斯在上赛季败给湖人的两场比赛中投篮命中率为31%，其中包括了08年11月25日客场93-120败给湖人时16中5的投篮表现。然而，这位控球后卫在那场比赛中拿到了球队最高的21分并且职业生涯首次在湖人身上得分超过20.
KobeBryant has also struggled with his shooting against the Nets as his39.3 percent in 19 meetings is his worst against any opponent. He'sbeen held to 10.7 points and 26.5 percent shooting over the last threematchups, but the Lakers have won them all, thanks to Pau Gasol. 科比在对阵篮网的比赛中也是十分纠结，在与网队19次交锋中他那39.3%的命中率比起打其他对手都要低。在近三次碰面中，科比的得分被限制到了10.7分，命中率为26.5%，但是湖人都获得了胜利，那得多亏了加索尔。
Gasolhas averaged 28.7 points on 71.7 percent shooting against the Netssince joining Los Angeles in the middle of the 2007-08 season. 自2007-08赛季中期加盟湖人后，加索尔对阵篮网的比赛中场均贡献28.7分，投篮命中率高达71.7%。
TheLakers (12-3) enter Sunday's matchup having scored 100 points in fivestraight wins. They delivered their highest point total of the seasonin Saturday night's 130-97 victory at Golden State. In his fourth gameback from a strained right hamstring, Gasol had 22 points to lead sevenplayers in double figures. 湖人队（12胜3负）在5连胜中场均得分都过百。他们在周六以130-97战胜勇士的比赛中送出了本赛季最高的得分。加索尔在这伤愈归来的第四场比赛中拿到了22分，带领7位湖人球员得分上双。
"Pau'sjust being Pau," said Bryant, who scored 20 for the fifth straightgame. "He's one of the best in the game. We missed that." 科比连续五场得分上20，他说：“加索尔就是加索尔，他是篮球场是最棒的其中一个，之前我们太想念他了。”
Los Angeles is 1-1 inthe second of back-to-back games this season, winning in overtime atHouston on Nov. 4 and losing at Denver on Nov. 13. The Lakers, however,haven't dropped consecutive finales of back-to-back scenarios sinceNovember 2007. 本赛季湖人在背靠背的第二战的成绩为1胜1负，他们在11月4日加时胜了火箭，但在11月13日输给了掘金。然而，湖人队自从07年11月就未曾输掉背靠背的两场比赛。
The Nets, meanwhile, have dropped 16 straight road games dating to a 115-89 win over New York on March 18. 另一方面，网队在客场已经是16连败，距离上一场胜利要回溯到3月18日，当时他们以115-89打败尼克斯。
NewJersey has also lost 27 of 35 all-time road games against Los Angeles.Its loss at the Staples Center last season followed a 102-100 win thereon Nov. 25, 2007. 新泽西网队在造访洛杉矶的35次旅途中输了27次。他们上赛季也在斯台普斯中心吃到败仗，而上一次胜利则是在07年11月25号，他们以102-100取胜。作者: awqcgbdghe 時間: 2010-3-29 10:55 PM
