洛杉磯湖人少數年輕人：Talen Horton-Tucker扮演重要角色
暑假湖人大刀闊斧，從巫師找來Russell Westbook組成三巨頭，不過代價是薪資空間卡死、中生代除了王牌Anthony Davis之外幾乎不存在。現在有戰力的年輕人大概只有三位：自選自養的Talen Horton-Tucker(下文簡稱THT)、帶槍投靠的熱火後衛Kendrick Nunn、黃蜂飛人Malik Monk。
這三人中以THT年紀最小，但湖人年資最長、合約金額最高，理所當然會是新球季球迷放大鏡檢視的對象。THT過去因為經驗差又便宜，往往不是輿論關注焦點；不過本季湖人選擇不多，從教練Frank Vogel到神主牌LeBron James都對他寄與厚望，希望他能待起更多責任。
防守和投射，是THT過去的兩大弱點，也是新賽季能否站穩先發名單的重要課題。未滿21歲的他自己也有所體認，暑假積極針對這兩項弱點努力強化，希望新賽季可以證明自己有所成長，足以擔當大任。
湖人用三年平均破千萬、第三年還是球員選擇權的合約綁住THT，他得證明自己的身手的確值得這個價錢。要是順利讓他卡到先發位置，兩年後還不滿23歲的他將會是自由市場熱門之一。
從二輪選秀加入聯盟開始，THT一路披荊斬棘持續求生存。從站穩輪替到爭取先發位置，他的進步幅度相當明顯而巨大。能否在生涯第三季繼續有突破表現？熱身賽大概就能略知一二。

Malik Monk Opens Up On Lakers Team Dynamics: "Older Guys Yelling At The
Rookies Because It's Their Fault. Everything They Do, It's Our Fault Out
There Because They Know Everything And You Don't And When You Mess Up, You
Just Got To Take It."
Malik Monk講到湖人的團隊互動
The Los Angeles Lakers have been a disappointing team this year. They aren't
the championship contender that many thought they would be at the start of
the season, and there's a chance that they might not make the playoffs at all.
今年球季，湖人是一支讓人失望的隊伍。現在的他們，不像季初大家想的那樣是支爭冠
隊伍，現在他們甚至有可能會連季後賽都沒有。
Malik Monk has been one of the bright spots for the Los Angeles Lakers this
season. He has shown that he can be a perimeter shot creator and shooter.
Currently, Malik Monk is averaging 12.9 PPG, 3.4 RPG, and 2.6 APG on the
season, while shooting 39.5% from beyond the arc.
但是本球季，Malik Monk一直是湖人幾個亮點之一。他在展現出外圍投射的能力，場均
目前是12.9分，3.4個籃板，以及2.6個助攻，三分命中率是39.5趴。
When speaking to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, Malik Monk opened up about some of
the dynamics inside the locker room, claiming that he bonded with rookie
Austin Reaves due to both getting yelled at by the "older guys" in the locker
room.
在接受ESPN記者Dave McMenamin訪問時，Malik Monk說到湖人休息室的團隊互動，說他跟
另外一個菜鳥Austin Reaves建立革命情感是因為他們兩個在休息室裡都被老傢伙罵。
"S---, everything," Monk says. "Ups and downs. Rookie wall. Older guys
yelling at the rookies because it's their fault. Everything they do, it's
your fault out there because they know everything and you don't and when you
mess up, you just got to take it. You got to deal with things like that. I
talk to Austin almost every day."
「X的~~所有的事都是，」Monk說。「好的壞的，菜鳥撞牆期這些的。老傢伙會吼菜鳥，
因為那都是菜鳥的錯。當狀況搞砸的時候，因為老傢伙們什麼都懂，菜鳥什麼都不會，
所以是菜鳥的錯。就是因為要面對這一類的事情，我幾乎每天都會跟AR聊天。」
There is no doubt that Austin Reaves and Malik Monk have been some of the
better role players on the roster. It is unfortunate that there are times
they get blamed, even though there are other players on the roster that make
big mistakes.
毫無疑問，Austin Reaves跟Malik Monk目前是湖人名單裡面表現較佳的球員，儘管有
其他球員犯了大錯，很不幸的有時候這兩位還是要被罵。
There have been previous rumors that have suggested that the atmosphere
around the Los Angeles Lakers is negative. This has been a disaster of a
season for them, but hopefully, they are able to rally together prior to the
end of the season, and potentially make the playoffs via the play-in
tournament. They definitely have the individual talent to be a solid play-in
tier team, but the key will be them figuring things out as a unit.
之前一直有謠言說湖人的氣氛不佳，儘管本季對他們來說是場災難，但是希望他們能夠
一股作氣，藉由附加賽打進季後。儘管他們各自有足夠的天賦，足以讓他們在附加賽成
為一支好隊伍，但是關鍵在於他們是否能團結在一起找出方法。
