The rivalry between the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers don't just share the same city, they share the same building to play their home games in. The Lakers have long been considered the "big brother" in this rivalry, but the Clippers have had plenty of periods of dominance as well. The media has dubbed this rivalry as the "Hallway Series" since a hallway separates the two home locker rooms of these bitter rivals.
湖人和快船之间的竞争不仅在于两者在同一个城市，还在于两者在同一个球馆里进行主场比赛。湖人在这场竞争中一直被认为是“老大哥”，但是快船也有很多统治时期。媒体将这场竞争称为“走廊系列”，因为球馆里的走廊将这对死对头的两个主场更衣室分隔开来。
Los Angeles is set for a blockbuster NBA rivalry next season after Kawhi Leonard reportedly agree to sign on for the Clippers. With Paul George also said to be joining from the Oklahoma City Thunder, an exciting Clippers team is set to go head-to-head against a Los Angeles Lakers franchise.
科怀·伦纳德同意加盟快船后，洛杉矶在下个赛季就将迎来轰动一时的NBA对决。随着保罗·乔治的加盟，这支令球迷振奋的快船队伍也准备好了与洛杉矶湖人队展开正面交锋。
It's now LeBron James and Anthony Davis vs. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George in the hallway series in Los Angeles. Lakers fans were stunned and angered by the news that their "little brother" just stole their star free agent and grabbed the guy they thought was a lock to be theirs a couple years ago. The Clippers are now legit title contenders because they landed guys the Lakers wanted.
现在的洛杉矶“走廊系列”双方是勒布朗·詹姆斯、安东尼·戴维斯对阵卡哇伊·伦纳德和保罗·乔治。湖人球迷对他们的“小弟弟”快船偷走本属于他们的自由球员，并抢夺了他们认为多年前就属于他们的球员的消息感到震惊和愤怒。快船现在已然是合法的冠军争夺者了，因为他们得到了湖人想要的球员。
As fears mounted that the Los Angeles Lakers had pushed to the cusp of creating an unprecedented Big Three, the LA Clippers made the blockbuster trade. The Clippers became the last line of defense for the balance of power in the NBA -- never mind the franchise's own future.
正当人们越来越担心湖人已经在创造一个前所未有的三巨头的边缘试探时，洛杉矶快船完成了这笔轰动一时的交易，成为了NBA力量平衡的最后一道防线——球队的未来了就更不用说了。
Now, the LA Clippers, potentially for the first time in franchise history, are the favorite to win the NBA title.
现在，洛杉矶快船，可能是球队历史上第一次，最有希望赢得NBA总冠军。
Mind you, Lou Williams, who is probably one of the 10 to 15 most gifted scorers in the league, is coming off the bench. Montrezl Harrell. For those of you who aren't familiar with Harrell, you will be. That man is a certified stud. So far, Clippers' bench strength is second to none.
请注意，路易斯·威廉姆斯可能是联盟中最有天赋的10到15个得分王之一，他将从替补席上走出来。蒙特雷斯·哈雷尔，对于那些不熟悉他的人，你会慢慢熟悉的。那个男人是个标准的肌肉猛男。到目前为止，快船的板凳力量无人能及。
The Clippers have shooting, playmaking, defense, rebounding, a championship coach in Doc Rivers, two of the 10 best players in the league — they have it all. This is a team that took two games off the full-strength Warriors in this year's playoffs without a single superstar. Now they have two.
快船拥有投篮、控球、防守、篮板、总冠军教练里弗斯、联盟前10名球员中的两名——他们拥有一切。这支球队在今年的季后赛中，在没有一个超级巨星的情况下，与全实力的勇士还差一点打了抢七。现在这支队伍又添加了两名超级巨星。
Plan B is never optimal, especially when Plan A is to sign Kawhi Leonard, pair him with LeBron James and Anthony Davis and transform the Los Angeles Lakers into the NBA's newest superpower.
B计划从来都不是最好的，尤其是当A计划是签下伦纳德，让他与勒布朗·詹姆斯和安东尼·戴维斯搭档，把洛杉矶湖人变成NBA最新的超级力量。
However, the Lakers' Plan B looks more than adequate. That's because Plan B included agreeing to deals with big man DeMarcus Cousins, sharpshooter Danny Green and Splash Brother understudy Quinn Cook. The result: The Lakers got deeper, more balanced and acquired enough talent to be considered a title contender.
然而，湖人的B计划看起来已经足够了。这是因为B计划包括与考辛斯、神枪手格林和水花兄弟的替补库克达成协议。这样的结果是:湖人队变得更有深度，更平衡，获得了足够的天赋，可以被认为是冠军争夺者。
Thanks to Plan B, the Lakers' inside game looks better too. In addition to Davis, the Lakers have added Cousins, who as a member of the Warriors showed a hint of his once-dominating skills during the NBA Finals once he returned from a torn quadriceps. The Lakers also are bringing back rim protector JaVale McGee.
多亏了B计划，湖人的内线看起来也好多了。除了戴维斯，湖人队还增加了考辛斯，作为勇士队的一员，考辛斯从四头肌撕裂中恢复后，在NBA总决赛中展现了他曾经的统治能力。湖人队还带回了护边球员麦基。
Back come guards Rajon Rondo and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, both of whom will help bolster the backcourt. And don't forget Kyle Kuzma, who has All-Star potential and for the Lakers may eventually help form a legitimate Big Three.
隆指导和波普也回来了，他们都将帮助加强后场。别忘了还有库兹马，他有全明星的潜质，而且对于湖人来讲，他可能最终会帮助球队组成一个真正的三巨头。
Sure, the Lakers must feel stung after losing out on Leonard to the once-lowly Clippers. But thanks to Plan B, the Lakers are no longer L.A. laughingstocks either.
当然，湖人在争夺伦纳德中输给曾经地位低下的快船之后一定很伤心。但是多亏了B计划，湖人也不再是洛杉矶的笑柄。
