凯尔·库兹马为洛杉矶湖人队奉献了他本赛季最好的表现之一,带领湖人队以115-94战胜萨克拉门托国王队,得到赛季最高的30分。

那么库兹马的秘密是什么呢,他在安东尼·戴维斯和勒布朗·詹姆斯都在场的情况下表现得并不好?

库兹马在赛后的新闻发布会上说:

“I don’t know, I just told myself I got to stop being a B-word,”“That’s the biggest thing. Taking on that challenge and trying to be an all-around dog. It’s as simple as that. I’m getting more and more confidence guarding those point guard, shooting guards.”

“我不知道,我只是告诉自己,我不能再成为一个碧池了。”。“这是最大的问题。接受挑战,努力成为一只全能的人。就这么简单。我越来越有信心防守那些控球后卫,得分后卫。”

库兹马是湖人队对阵国王队的最佳球员,他有着全队最好的30分,而且在防守上也有着出色的表现。

“I wasn’t forcing anything. I wasn’t trying to overdo it from an offensive standpoint with scoring,” Kuzma said. “I was just letting the game come to me. I was trying to drive in the paint and get a teammate open. When it wasn’t there, I found myself open and took advantage of it. The game is slowing down for me.”

“我没有强迫任何事情。库兹马说:“从进攻的角度来看,我并没有试图得分过头。“我只是让比赛来找我。我试着杀入禁区,让队友打开。我发现自己打开了,并利用了它。对我来说,比赛正在放缓。”

库兹马:本场吴赛是无詹眉的最佳比赛

在竞争激烈的西部,每一场胜利都很重要,尽管丹佛和波特兰都紧随其后,但湖人队仍然凭借这场胜利保住了第四的位置。

戴维斯和詹姆斯都在养伤,湖人队正在努力保持稳定。戴维斯预计会比詹姆斯更早回来,因为詹姆斯的脚踝扭伤严重,但是湖人需要库兹马和他的同事们更多的精彩表现,才能在超级巨星们缺席的情况下继续朝着正确的方向发展。

“This was probably our best game with all those guys out, from the standpoint of playing the right way and doing it for 48 minutes,” Kuzma said. after Friday’s win “Defensively, holding a team under 100 is what you want to do every time out. And we made shots. Those were the factors.”

库兹马说:“这可能是我们最好的一场比赛,球队领袖们都出局了,从某种角度来看,打了正确的48分钟。防守上,你每次都想把球队控制在100以下。我们竭尽一切做到了。这些就是我们赢的原因。”

库兹马此前一直在努力减少自己的角色

库兹马上赛季在成为湖人队第三好球员的过程中承受了很大的压力,尤其是在转战板凳之后。不过,库兹马已经成熟了,找到了自己,做了一些小事来帮助湖人赢得比赛。

“It’s big for this team. I’m trying to be a star in my role,” Kuzma said in February. “Just trying to help this team win. Coming off the bench or starting, I’m just out there playing basketball — playing free with a sense of joy, trying to get wins.”

“这对这支球队来说意义重大。库兹马说:“我正在努力成为我的角色中的明星。”。“只是想帮助球队获胜。无论是坐在板凳上还是首发,我都只是在打篮球——带着一种快乐的感觉自由地打球,努力争取胜利。”

库兹马场均得到12.8分和6.8个篮板,但主教练沃格尔说,他最大的贡献是他的“态度”

“He’s a winning player. I think we saw that in the championship run last year,” Vogel said. “He’s really making the effort to play team-first basketball.”

“他是个赢家。我想我们在去年的冠军赛中看到了这一点。“他真的在努力打团队第一的篮球。”

湖人有机会在周日晚上对阵快船的比赛中取得三连胜。

进击吧!湖人
