He came close. He benched Jeremy Lin, Chandler Parsons and Patrick Patterson, watched the Rockets go from bad to spectacularly worse, and the Rockets from coming close but falling short, to never seeming so far away from ending their losing streak. He quickly ran out of players to bench. 半场打完火箭仍然处於劣势，麦帅似乎有点不爽，或称沮丧 第三节开赛他竟然把先发三人放在板凳，看着火箭从糟变成惨 每当火箭要追进，然後就出状况，要中止连败，他们似乎还有得等 Playing a Timberwolves team with a five-game losing streak with half its roster tied behind its back by injuries and illness, the Rockets were blown out, falling to a seventh-consecutive loss, 92-79, on Saturday. The Rockets scored fewer points in the first and third quarter than in any game this season, matched their fewest in a game and shot worse (making 32.1 percent) than they have all season. Yet, their scoring was not their greatest problem, or even close. 面对伤兵累累又五连败中的灰狼，火箭还是搞砸了 他们在第一跟第三节的得分远低於赛季平均，追平最低总得分纪录 而命中率是本季最差 但是，得分还不是他们最大的问题 While there is no doubt about what no qualifies as the worst performance of the streak, it would be difficult to pinpoint what was the worst issue in it. Besides the dreadful shooting, the Rockets played terrible defense with little energy and absolutely no poise. 除了糟透了的投篮，防守，简直是一蹋糊涂 James Harden scored just five second-half points. Lin, Parsons and Patterson combined to make 10 of 40 shots. About the only thing they did consistently, besides collecting their customary 20 turnovers, was foul needlessly. 哈登下半场只得五分，林、高富帅、PPT合计40投10中 更别提那精美的20次失误跟不必要的犯规 The Rockets were so entirely outhustled by Chris Johnson and Mickael Gelabale – two guys signed Saturday morning just to push the Timberwolves past the NBA minimum of eight healthy, available players – by the fourth quarter, the Target Center crowd was giving Johnson the MVP chant. Between them, players that had yet to even go through a practice outscored the Rockets 23-20 in the fourth quarter. 火箭被两个十天短约的球员，Chris Johnson和Mickael Gelabale，耍的团团转 From the start, the Rockets could get good shots. The problem was with making them. Hitting on just 1 of 6 3-pointers in the first quarter, they struggled to 16 points, their fewest in a first quarter this season. But that was not really the problem that had to trouble them most. 一开赛，火箭就陷入麻烦，三分1-6，第一节仅得16分是本季的最低得分 但这还不是最糟糕的问题 Playing their fourth game in five nights and eighth in 12, they might have expected the range shooting to be an issue. The Timberwolves clearly did, backing off Jeremy Lin so far in the first half that he made 1 of 5 shots in the first quarter, did not take any in the second quarter and might have had trouble picking the defender assigned to him out of the crowd. The greater issue was on the defensive end where they were going against a poor 3-point shooting team with no low-post threats and still routinely got beat off the dribble to cause breakdowns of the defense, foul trouble and the usual double-digit first half deficit. 五天内的第四战，12天内的第八战，他们早就出现了远距离投篮不稳定的状况 但最大的问题是他们残破的防守，他们今天面对三分不是很准也没有低位威胁的灰狼 仍然在上半场有过两位数的落後 The Timberwolves, making 42.7 percent of their shots this season, made 53.1 percent in the first half, scoring 22 points in the paint while Nikola Pekovic watched from the bench and Kevin Love was in New York recovering from wrist surgery. 本赛季命中率只有42.7%的灰狼，上半场命中率竟然达到53.1% 少了PEKO和爱神，他们也可以在禁区拿下22分 Harden made enough free throws for the Rockets to be within six at halftime, and with a Ridnour adding a technical foul, Harden cut the lead to five to start the second half. 靠着哈登的罚球，勉强在下半场开局把分差要回五分 More significant, however, was who did not start the second half, with McHale pulling out the hook and the Rockets responding by completely falling on their face to start the third quarter. 但问题来了，为何下半场开赛有些球员不在场上? 而火箭第三节开赛，完全的沉沦 Trailing by 13, they finally made a run late in the quarter, and heading into the fourth down by just four. But they had been so awful for so long, there was little reason to think those few good minutes would last. They didn’t. The losing streak, however, went marching on 落後13分後，他们似乎有点起色，追到四分差 但他们始终无法一股作气 连败，还在继续 心得: 这一场，连LIN都打到失去冷静，火箭令人担忧阿 T^T --
