洛杉矶湖人王朝对比今日的潜在王朝。

虽然洛杉矶湖人队没能打入季后赛，但有些事情值得关注。随着2018年NBA季后赛开赛两周，比赛的激烈程度急剧上升，目前为止今年的季后赛很精彩。

在东部费城76人队最终击败迈阿密热队进入第二轮，让这座城市和阿伦艾弗森对此引以为傲。在西部，新奥尔良鹈鹕们横扫了波特兰，早早地将他们送回老家钓鱼。

在激动人心的NBA季后赛中，人们通常会将目光聚集到金州勇士队和克利夫兰骑士队，他们过去连续三年打进了NBA总决赛。

胜利可能会让人有些松懈，哪怕是对于一些职业球员也是如此。连续三年的延长赛季，缺乏专注度尤其是伤病因素，有可能会很大程度上影响一个团队的持续成功。

勇士队的确在第一轮轻易击败了圣安东尼奥马刺队，但是接下来的季后赛中，他们需要斯蒂芬·库里。金州勇士队他们不仅面临着库里缺阵，其他球员也正遭受着伤病。凯文杜兰特、克莱·汤普森和安德烈·伊戈达拉分别克服脚踝、拇指和腿部的伤势作战。麦考在接近常规赛结束时背部受伤还没有痊愈。

骑士队的麻烦来自状态不好，以及同样遭受伤病影响。凯文·乐福在左手拇指部分韧带撕裂，这是对阵印第安娜步行者队的第二场比赛中防守时造成的。乔治希尔因背部痉挛而等待进一步的评估。

印第安那竭尽所能来阻挡克利夫兰，但是在第5场比赛中，勒布朗·詹姆斯投进了绝杀将大部分锁定在3比2，这让人想起了他在2009年东部决赛第2场中投进的绝杀球。骑士队需要更多球员做出贡献，而不是仅仅依靠詹姆斯带领他们前进。

对于两支球队来说，连续三年常规赛季和NBA季后赛的磨砺令他们非常疲惫。通往NBA王朝球队的道路并非一帆风顺，充满伤病和磨难。王朝球队等级的磨难，就像湖人王朝曾经经历的那样。

青年王朝

湖人王朝离我们并不遥远， 他们努力拼搏拿下“三连冠”和08到10的冠军在NBA历史上被人铭记。

“三连冠”湖人轻松地击败了对手。当然，除了两场抢七系列赛（2000年西决，开拓者VS湖人和2002年西部决赛——国王vs 湖人），考验了科比·布莱恩特和沙奎尔-奥尼尔率领的冠军球队。

争夺第三个冠军的道路上遭受了奥尼尔和德里克·费舍尔的伤病。奥尼尔处理脚趾伤病错过了赛季初15场比赛。费舍尔因伤缺席12场比赛，整个赛季仅仅首发出场35场比赛。另外还有布莱恩特和奥尼尔之间的公开矛盾。但是当布莱恩特在2002年NBA总决赛结束时高兴地举起三个手指那一刻，这些（伤病、问题）也就被忽略了。湖人队最终击败新泽西网队拿到湖人王朝的第三个冠军。

2008-09和2009-10赛季湖人经历了类似的高峰和低谷。科比、加索尔和主要角色球员在经历了前一年输给了波士顿凯尔特人的失败之后，有很多事情需要去证明，他们也的确做到了，他们不仅重返NBA总决赛，而且击垮德怀特霍华德和奥兰多魔术队赢得了七年来的第一个冠军。

湖人队打进了2010年的总决赛，这是他们连续第三年杀入NBA总决赛。虽然球队有轻微的变化，而湖人球迷们熟悉的核心仍然是完整的，不过他们明显遭遇到了伤病的侵袭。

加索尔在赛季初因腿筋受伤错过了不少比赛，科比·布莱恩特因伤缺席了10场比赛，这是布莱恩特2007年以来第一次错过比赛。除了超级明星，其他重要的角色球员也遭遇伤病困扰，包括安德鲁·拜纳姆缺阵17场、萨沙·武贾西奇缺阵15场和卢克·沃顿缺阵53场。

向冠军致敬

对于连续赢得奥布莱恩奖杯的球队来说是遭遇伤病困扰是必须去面对的，回顾NBA的历史，争夺冠军向来都是困难重重。

波士顿凯尔特人在80年代赢得了三个冠军，湖人队从1980到1990年七次杀入NBA总决赛，赢得五个冠军。圣安东尼奥马刺队从1997到2016年赢得五次冠军。

历史上的王朝球队在休赛期的操作也同样成功，其中包括球员的调整。即使是迈克尔乔丹率领的90年代伟大的球队也需要对他们逐渐老化的球员名单进行重组（当然，乔丹是从棒球联盟回来的）。

1998年公牛饱受伤病困扰，但是他们在历史最佳球员的带领不可思议的赢得了60场比赛，。他们的球队名单上有一位老将二当家——斯科蒂·皮蓬，他因伤缺席了将近半个赛季。

然而，这些王朝球队继续前进，像迈克乔丹那样找到办法来应对一切。这些球队遭遇了不可避免的伤病还有其他的障碍，但仍然坚持下去战胜困难，这就是冠军球队的必备属性，更不用说王朝球队。

科比·布莱恩特的成就和在湖人的地位都是来自于他无与伦比的奉献精神和职业热枕。国际互联网公司首席执行官Matt Given在一篇文章中引用了布莱恩特的话，

“那些你努力工作到深夜的时候，那些你不想工作的时候。你厌倦了疲惫了不想再强迫自己，但无论如何你都要努力坚持，这就是梦想。”

马刺队失去了大卫罗宾逊，蒂姆·邓肯也退役了。80年代的黄绿传奇们都变老了。拉里·柏得不再是传奇人物，贾巴尔戴上了护目镜。公牛队确实有点老化，但是他们失去统治力确实由于迈克尔乔丹、菲尔杰克逊和公牛队总经理杰里·克劳斯之间的裂痕造成的。

人们认为如果公牛队团结一致，他们将赢得90年代所有的冠军。湖人球迷也有同样的问题：如果科比和沙克继续一起打比赛，湖人将夺得多少冠军？

20世纪初的湖人创造了一个王朝，他们足够年轻可以继续长期保持高水平上的竞争，就像当今的勇士队。

和克利夫兰相比，勇士看起来更能维持在NBA中的统治地位，但是伤病问题困扰着这两支球队。谁能够战胜困难翻越障碍呢？（是）王朝级别的团队。

科比·布莱恩特谈论梦想、努力、不计结果，这些可能是他作为球员时不会谈起的。这样王朝的梦想，以及现在渴望建立王朝的梦想（就像金州和克利夫兰），都是一样的：继续拼搏前行，竭尽全力赢得更多比赛，直到你无能为力。

Los Angeles Lakers’ dynasty teams mirror today’s potential dynasties

by Leandre Ochoa

Los Angeles Lakers dynasties of yesteryear mirror today’s potential dynasties.

While the Los Angeles Lakers aren’t in the postseason, things have still been fun to watch. As the 2018 NBA Playoffs approach the two-week mark, the intensity of competition has skyrocketed, making this a great postseason so far.

Eventual Eastern Conference powerhouse, the Philadelphia 76ers, advanced to the second round defeating the Miami Heat, making the “City of Brotherly Love” and Allen Iverson proud in the process. The Western Conference saw the New Orleans Pelicans feasting on Portland in an upset sweep of the Trailblazers, sending them packing towards the Pacific Northwest to get an early start to the fishing season.

Within the excitement around the NBA Playoffs, attention usually returns to the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, both having met in the NBA Finals each of the last three years.

Winning, even for some professionals, can get dull. After three consecutive years of an extended season, lack of focus and especially injuries can bear too much on a team’s continued success.

The Warriors did dispose of the San Antonio Spurs in the first round easily, but going further into the playoffs, Stephen Curry must be available.

For Golden State, not only are they Curry-less, but have other players nursing injuries. Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, and Andre Iguodala are playing through ankle, thumb, and leg injuries, respectively. Patrick McCaw, out indefinitely, still suffers from a back injury that occurred near the end of the regular season.

The Cavaliers’ problems come from underperforming, as well as getting bit by the injury bug. Kevin Love is playing with a partially torn ligament in his left thumb, an injury caused when making a defensive play during Game 2 of Cleveland’s matchup against the Indiana Pacers. George Hill continues to be re-evaluated for his back spasms.

Indiana has given Cleveland all they could handle, but find themselves down 3-2 on a Lebron James buzzer beater in Game 5, reminiscent of his top of the key buzzer beater in Game 2 of the 2009 Eastern Conference Finals. The Cavaliers, who need more from the supporting cast, will only go as far as James takes them.

For both teams, the task of mulling through three straight regular seasons and the NBA Playoffs is grueling. The path to becoming an NBA dynasty is not without its fair share of injuries and pain. Dynasty-level pain. Something the ghosts of Lakers past can relate to.

Young Dynasty

It’s not so far in the past that the previous Lakers are ghosts, but the “three-peat” era-champs along with the ’08-’10 champs had their struggles en route to their spot in NBA history.

The “three-peat” Lakers mowed down the competition with ease. The exceptions, of course, were two seven-game series (2000 WCF – POR vs. LA & 2002 WCF – SAC vs. LA) that tested the once untapped-turned-tapped championship mettle of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal led teams.

The road to that third championship included the task of pushing through injuries to O’Neal and Derek Fisher. Shaq was dealing with a toe deformity, causing him to miss 15 games at the beginning of the season. Fisher’s injury caused him to miss 12 games, and started in only 35 games all season.

These injuries, including the public feud between Bryant and O’Neal, were overlooked once the TV screen showed Bryant joyously holding up three fingers at the end of the 2002 NBA Finals. The Lakers beat the breaks off the New Jersey Nets, securing that dynasty-clinching 3rd straight title.

The 2008-09 and 2009-10 Lakers experienced similar highs and lows. Kobe, Pau Gasol, and integral role players had much to prove after their loss to the Boston Celtics the previous year, and improve they did. Not only did they make it back to the NBA Finals, but pummeled Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic for their first championship in seven years.

The Lakers’ bid to the Finals in 2010 marked the third straight year that core made it to the final round. Although there was a slight change in personnel, the immediate core of which Lakers fans remember was still intact, but with significant injuries on their plate.

Pau Gasol missed time because of a hamstring injury early in the season, and an injured Kobe Bryant missed 10 games that season, marking the first time Bryant missed a game since 2007. On top of the injuries to their superstars, other important role players missed games, including injuries to Andrew Bynum (17), Sasha Vujacic(15), and Luke Walton (53).

A Tribute to Champions

Injury-riddled seasons are just a foregone conclusion for teams who make consecutive runs at winning the Larry O’Brien Trophy. Looking back at our NBA’s history, difficulties for championship contenders is commonplace.

The Boston Celtics in the ‘80s won three championships. The Showtime Lakers went from 1980 to 1990 advancing to seven NBA Finals, winning five. The San Antonio Spurs from 1997 to 2016 won five.

This elite group of dynasty-level teams throughout history succeeded through down times, which included roster adjustments. Even the great Michael Jordan-led teams of the ‘90s needed major retooling to their aging roster (and of course, Jordan actually coming back to the NBA from Minor League Baseball).

The 1998 Bulls were so hampered by injuries, it’s amazing that team won 60 games, even with arguably the “GOAT” trotting along. That roster had an aging “1B” in Scottie Pippen who missed almost half the season due to injury.

Yet, these dynasties seem to continue to, like Mike, trot along and find a way to get it done. These teams get the inevitable injury bug or hit the proverbial wall, but were still able to persevere, an attribute of a champion, much less a dynasty.

Kobe Bryant’s legacy and his tenure with the Lakers is backed by his out worldly dedication to his work ethic. Matt Given, CEO of Intelivideo, wrote in an article for the INC.com quoting Bryant saying,

“Those times you stay up late and you work hard. Those times when you don’t feel like working. You’re too tired. You don’t want to push yourself, but you do it anyway. That is actually the dream.”

The Spurs lost David Robinson and eventually, Tim Duncan to retirement. The Celtics and Lakers of the ’80s got old. Larry Bird no longer looked legendary, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar hung up his goggles. Age did catch up to the Bulls, but their reign was halted due to the public rift between Michael Jordan, Phil Jackson, and then-Bulls General Manager, Jerry Krause.

People felt that if the Bulls’ organization complied with one another, they would have won every championship in the ’90s. The common question for Lakers fans; how many championships would the Lakers have won if Kobe and Shaq continued to play nice?

The Lakers of the early 2000s surely were a dynasty in the making, and young enough to continue competing at a high level, something the Warriors of today can relate to.

Between Golden State and Cleveland, the Warriors look more primed to sustain continued dominance over the NBA, but the injuries to both teams is a common obstacle. Those who overcome in the face of adversity? Dynasty-level teams.

Kobe Bryant spoke about his dream, about the work and not the results, something Bryant probably wouldn’t have said as an active player. The dream for the dynasties of the past and current potential dynasties, like Golden State and Cleveland, are one in the same. To continue to go on and win as much as you can. Until you cannot.
