Lakers are angling for success
湖人正在走向通往成功的路上
Gasol fits perfectly into the triangle, making the offense work as well as it ever has.
加索尔成功地融入三角进攻，使球队的进攻发挥得淋漓尽致。

It's the triangle offense, now available in version 3.0.
还是三角进攻，不过现在已经升级到3.0版本。
These days, Kobe Bryant offers an alley-oop Pau Gasol's way and the two can exchange roles the very next play. Luke Walton posts up, then drifts out for a three-point shot, or Lamar Odom ducks and dives his way to the rim for enough double-doubles to fill his heart's content.
现在，科比可以给加索尔提供很多空中接力的机会，而且这两名球员能够在下一次进攻时互换角色。沃顿在低位，然后出去投3分，或是奥多姆迅速移动到到篮下，他获得一些拿到两双的机会。
The part-mystical, part head-scratching triangle offense is functioning quite smoothly with Gasol completing the Lakers' trifecta.
随着加索尔完善了湖人的进攻体系，有些神秘而且让对手挠头不已的三角进攻目前运转相当好。
Possibly more so than . . . Michael Jordan's championship days under Phil Jackson?
也许这比杰克逊担任主教练期间乔丹时代的球队还要好？
"Since we've had Gasol, it's a very good comparison," said Tex Winter, a Lakers consultant and a pretty smart person to ask on the subject because, well, he is the offense's innovator. "It's not necessarily a guy like Kobe or Michael Jordan that oftentimes makes the difference in this. Sometimes, it is the post man or someone else."
“因为我们有加索尔，所以我们可以好好地将这两支球队做个对比。”湖人的顾问温特表示。这个问题问他比较合适，因为他是三角进攻的首创者。“这不一定是因为像科比或乔丹这样使事情变得不同的人。有时候，还因为大个子或其他人的存在。”
At 86, Winter is a basketball lifer and a walking encyclopedia. He played for USC under Hall of Fame coach Sam Barry, who created the premise of the triangle offense, with Winter later smoothing its edges during his more than half a century of coaching. His coaching jobs included Marquette, Kansas State, Northwestern, Long Beach State and the NBA's San Diego Rockets. He became a Chicago Bulls assistant in 1985.
年已86岁的温特终身从事篮球事业，他是一名活的百科全书。他曾为名人堂成员萨姆·巴里执教的南加州大学效力。正是巴里创造了三角进攻的雏形，而温特则用了大半个世纪的时间改善了三角进攻的优势。他的执教球队包括马奎特、堪萨斯、西北、长滩分校和NBA的圣迭哥火箭队。他在1985年开始担任公牛队的助理教练。
When the Bulls named Jackson their coach in 1989, he brought the triangle in to do away with too many isolation plays for Jordan. The Bulls ran it to six championships. After Jackson and Winter moved to the Lakers, the Shaquille O'Neal-Kobe Bryant teams won three titles, and the Kobe-Gasol squad is hoping to get another ring.
公牛队在1989年任命杰克逊为主教练，他引入三角进攻让乔丹放弃他那些太多的单打独斗。公牛队随后获得了6次总冠军。在杰克逊和温特转投湖人队以后，奥尼尔和科比的组合为球队赢得了3次总冠军，而科比和加索尔也希望他们的组合能够赢得另一枚戒指。
The triangle offense revolves around reads and reaction, rhythm and rotations. Its basic principles include penetration through ball entry at the high post, with spacing and cuts predicated off the pass.
三角进攻以对比赛的解读和反应、节奏和轮换为中心。它的基本原理是从高位发起进攻，随着跑位和分球完成进攻。
One key component is that players are interchangeable and should be able to play any position. If worked to precision, Winter says, a player should always be open.
三角进攻的核心要素是球员可以交换角色，而且他们应该能够胜任各个位置。如果一切都运转正常的话，温特说，总会有一名球员有空位机会。
And every good scheme contains a bailout plan.
每一项好的计划都包括一个紧急预案。
The final option of the offense is having a Jordan or Bryant available to go one-on-one should all else go south.
进攻的最后选择是其他人拉开，让像乔丹或科比这样的球员能够一对一单打。
The triangle is created by the center in the post, a forward at the wing and a guard in the corner. The weak side features a guard at the top of the key and a forward, who are free to play a two-man game should the ball rotate there.
三角进攻由高位的中锋、边翼的前锋和角落的后卫组成。弱侧有一名后卫和一名前锋，他们能够在球运转到那里时进行两个人的配合。
From there it's all cuts and ball movement and can get complicated. Winter, after all, did literally write a book on it in 1968.
从那里开始都是传切配合和球的运转，甚至可以更复杂些。温特在1968年还专门就此写了一本书。
Still, depending on who's talking, the triangle offense is either easily digested or only mastered by Mensa members. It's perfectly suited for the NBA or it's too scripted and stifles creativity.
当然，这取决于谁来介绍。三角进攻可以很快地被吸收，也有可能只有那些很聪明的人才能掌握。
"When you have guys [play it] with such great spacing, such good recognition, great passing, it makes the game fun to watch," Bryant said.
“如果你用这种很伟大的空位、如此好的判断和伟大的传球与你身边的球员比赛，比赛将更加有观赏性。”科比说。
Winter insists the triangle offense can be absorbed quickly through practice and patience, enough so that he advises junior high school coaches to teach it. Still, many a pro has struggled grappling its intricacies. Gary Payton, anyone?
温特坚持说三角进攻可以通过训练和耐心领会三角进攻的内涵，所以他建议初高中篮球教练讲授这一战术。但是仍然有很多优秀的人无法理解它的复杂内涵。还记得佩顿吧，其他人呢？
"If it's presented to them right and if they've got some basketball knowledge and basketball savvy, some players learn it in no time and other people will never learn it," Winter said.
“不管直接告诉他们，不管他们是否已经有一些篮球知识和篮球智商，有些球员可以很快学会，而有些人则永远也理解不了。”温特说。
The Milwaukee Bucks, New Jersey Nets and Indiana Pacers use some aspects of the triangle offense and the Phoenix Suns threw in some wrinkles of it after landing O'Neal.
雄鹿、网队和步行者队都采用了三角进攻的部分元素，而太阳队也在奥尼尔到来后也接受了三角进攻的一些东西。
But Jackson and Winter's teams have been the only ones in the NBA to run it exclusively.
但是杰克逊和温特的球队是NBA中唯一完整使用三角进攻的球队。
The reasoning, said Craig Hodges, who played under Winter at Long Beach State, won two championships as a guard with the Bulls and is now a Lakers assistant, is partly out of pride of not wanting to duplicate another system and partly because so few know the offense enough to teach it. Skeptics note that any offense looks pretty smart with a Jordan or Bryant as its driving force.
霍奇斯曾在长滩分校时接受温特的教导，此后他作为后卫帮助公牛队赢得了两次总冠军，现在他是湖人队的助理教练。他表示，球队之所以这样部分是因为对这一体系的自豪，不愿意再去尝试的体系部分是因为只有很少人完整理解这一体系并能够传授给别人。但是，有批评者认为只要有乔丹或科比这样的人作为核心，任何进攻战术都会非常好。
"Their main thing is you can't use what you don't know," Hodges said. "I've seen teams complimenting Tex by using part of the system, but they'll run it more as a play opposed to running it off of reads."
“他们的主要问题是你不能用你并不熟悉的东西。” 霍奇斯表示，“我知道很多球队因为采用三角战术的部分内容对温特赞叹不已，但是他们更多的是将三角战术拿来比赛，而不是在解读之后认真使用。”
Through the Jackson-Winter years, there have been tweaks to the triangle offense, but it is always run to highlight a team's strengths.
在杰克逊和温特共事的这些年里，三角进攻也出现过调整，但是这只是为了加强球队的实力。
In Chicago, Ron Harper, a big guard, would frequently post up. Centers Luc Longley and Bill Cartwright were adept at feeding the ball, instead of scoring.
在公牛时代，大个子后卫哈珀经常会站在低位。中锋朗利和卡特怀特更习惯给队友喂球而不是得分。
And of course, Jordan and Scottie Pippen maintained a pretty fluid two-man game.
当然乔丹和皮蓬保持着漂亮的双人配合。
"It's actually 40% physical and 60% is mental. You have to make reads that other systems don't lend themselves to," Hodges said.
“事实上，只有40%靠身体，60%要靠智力。你必须能够从中读出其他体系不能提供的东西来。”霍奇斯表示。
Jackson said those Bulls teams still hold the edge on running the offense efficiently, but the gap may be closing. "There's a certain recognition that came along with a little more precision, perhaps, with the Bulls, but they never had the interior presence that we have had on these teams here in L.A.," Jackson said.
杰克逊说那支公牛队仍然在保持进攻效率方面有优势，但是两队的差距在缩小。“在公牛时代，他们在准确度方面有优势，但是他们从来都没有像现在湖人队在内线的这种优势。”
In the Kobe-Shaq era, the offense tended to be an entry pass into the post. Everyone would make a cut and often, play dissolved into one-on-one matches. Another three championships were amassed. And the offense was as Winter preferred, dominated through the post.
在科比—奥尼尔时代，进攻经常是进入低位的通行证。每个人都会切入，很多时候把比赛最终形成一打一的场面。于是，我们看到了另外一支三连冠的球队。这种进攻是温特所喜欢的统治低位。
"With Shaq, we were forced, at times out of respect and out of the fact that he got great results for us, we pounded the ball inside against anybody we played against," Derek Fisher said.
“奥尼尔在的时候，出于尊敬和他能够给我们带来胜利的事实，不管是跟谁打，我们都直接把球塞到内线去。”费舍尔表示。
Fast forward to this Lakers team.
这支湖人队正快速前进。
Andrew Bynum seemed poised to become the system's dominant big man until his injury. Then Gasol came, playing as if years ago Winter had cultivated the offense with him in mind.
在受伤前，拜纳姆似乎逐步成长为这个体系中有统治力的大个子。然后，加索尔来到湖人对三角进攻的适应，让人感觉似乎许多年前温特就已经将三角进攻的知识传授给他。
"The system works really well when you know how to play this game and make the right plays," Gasol said.
“如果你知道怎样打好比赛并做出正确的反应后，这个体系运转得实在很好。”加索尔表示。
"Know when to shoot. When to pass. Know where to be on the floor. I always took pride in being a great basketball player and having a good basketball IQ and no matter what type of system you are in, you just adjust to it real quick and I've always been able to adjust quick to any type of system."
“知道什么时候投篮，什么时候传球，什么时候该出现在什么位置。我为能成为一名伟大的篮球运动员、为自己有好的篮球智商而骄傲。不管你面前是什么样子的体系，你只需要去很快地适应这一体系。我也一直能够很快地适应各种各样的战术体系。”
What is most surprising, Fisher says, is Gasol's versatility in posting up to the basket to complement his mid-range jump shot.
而最让人吃惊的，费舍尔说，是加索尔的全能——他能够低位得分，也能够通过中距离跳投得分。
"With the teams that we had in the past, we obviously had that big guy [Shaq] in the middle, so a lot of stuff that we ran funneled through him and then we got back to the triangle after that," Bryant said. "The team that we have now relies more on spacing, ball movement, everybody being a threat. It's just more to the principles of what the triangle is."
“我们过去的那支球队（湖人），我们内线有大个子奥尼尔，所以我们经常是把球传给他，然后我们回到三角进攻。”科比说，“我们现在这支球队更多地依靠空位、传球，每个人都能形成威胁。这里面的东西可比三角原理大多了。”
There are still times when the Lakers offense launches 30-plus three-pointers in a game -- an occurrence that never would have occurred had O'Neal still been in the middle.
所以你很多时候能看到湖人队进攻达到3名球员得分上30的时候——而这在奥尼尔站在内线时从来没有发生过。
But all in all, it has been a while since the triangle offense has showcased angles this right, corners this edgy.
但是总而言之，从三角进攻展现出这一点威力，时间也不算长。
"Our offense it still predicated on getting penetration," Fisher said, "and having Pau Gasol helps a great deal and whether Andrew Bynum is back this season or starting up again next season, for years to come, we have guys that can be the focal point of getting the ball inside and that's when we are at our best."
“我们的进攻仍然更多地依靠渗入。”费舍尔表示，“不管拜纳姆本赛季能够复出还是下赛季才能回来，拥有加索尔将帮助我们实现目标。等下个赛季，我们那些在内线能拿到球的大个子将成为支点，那时我们的威力将会发挥到极致。”
