Artest, Defense Overpower Rockets By Conrad Brunner at Conseco Fieldhouse 溜马靠着 Artest以及防守压过火箭 Nov. 20, 2005 记者　Conrad Brunner来自Conseco Fieldhouse的报导 The lowest-scoring team in the NBA was without its leading scorer, Tracy McGrady, and starting point guard Rafer Alston. To top it off, the Rockets were playing their seventh game in 11 nights in seven different cities. In other words, the trap was laid. Tracy McGrady 以及先发控卫Rafer Alston双双缺席，联盟最低得分队伍今天少了队上 的得分好手。除此之外，火箭队的赛程在十一天之内横跨七个城市，十一天之内七场比 赛、七个不同的对手。简单来说，火箭队今晚可是走进了死胡同。 But there would be no mental lapses, no loss of focus or discipline, no breakdown in team cohesion. The Pacers didn't dazzle, but neither did they stumble. Stuck at Houston's speed for three quarters, the Pacers found their tempo in the fourth and pulled away for an 85-74 victory over the Rockets Sunday night at Conseco Fieldhouse. It was the second win in a row for Indiana (6-3) with two more home games this week before the first long road trip of the season. 没有士气涣散、没有迷失焦点、也没有缺乏团队精神。溜马没有打出一场刺激精采的 比赛，但也没有失手。跟着休士顿的步调打了三节後，溜马在第四节找到自己的节奏 ，拉开比数，最後以８５－７４在周日夜晚的主场胜过火箭队。溜马现在保有二连胜 的战绩（６－３），眼前还有两场主场比赛，之後就是本季第一次的客场征战。 "We know it's early in the season," said Stephen Jackson. "Each time we go out there, we improve and get better. I know we can score a lot but we need to improve our defense. We need to be on the same page and have confidence." Stephen Jackso说：我们季初就知道了，每次出赛，我们都有进步、变得更好。我知道 我们可以攻下很多分数，但是我们需要加强防守。我们必须同心协力而且有自信。 Evidence of that was obvious. Left with no choice but to ride Yao Ming, the Rockets tried but could get little from their 7-6 center. Yao hit his first two shots, then missed 11 of 12 before improving his final stat line with inconsequential fourth-quarter buckets. He finished with 24 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks, but never established himself as a force in the game. 「同心协力而且有自信」的证据很明显。在只有姚明可供依赖的情况下，火箭队终究 没办法从这位２２６公分的中锋身上得到太多助力。姚明投进前两球，然後在接下来 １２次出手中只命中一球，今天比赛的得分来自於他第四节已经无法力挽狂澜的表现 。他最後拿下２４分，１３篮板以及４次火锅阻攻，但是始终没有在比赛中发挥影响 力。 Credit for that goes primarily to the center tandem of Scot Pollard and David Harrison, who anchored the defense. Ron Artest (24 points), Jackson (17) and Jermaine O'Neal 15 with 11 rebounds) took care of the Pacers' offensive needs. Artest was particularly dominant in the fourth quarter, scoring seven points in a 19-2 run that pushed what was a tenuous 58-54 advantage to 77-56. 姚明没有主导比赛，功劳要算在轮流上阵伺候他的Scot Pollard 和David Harrison， 两人的防守大大降低姚明的影响力。Ron Artest (24 分), Jackson (17分) 和 Jermaine O'Neal (15分11 篮板)则负责供应火力。Artest在第四节几乎是主宰了比赛 ，在一波１９－２的攻势中拿下７分，让比赛从尚有可为的５８－５４，一下子变成 ７７－５６的比数。 "Indiana is a hell of a team," said Houston Coach Jeff Van Gundy. "Artest dominated us." 休士顿教练Jeff Van Gundy说：溜马今天真的猛，Artest的表现压过我们。 The Rockets (3-7) have lost three in a row. 火箭队（３－７）现在已经三连败。 ○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○● DOT-COM DOTS: FOSTER SET TO PRACTICE 球员动态：FOSTER准备开始练习 绊 Perhaps affected by his teammates' problems at the line, Sarunas Jasikevicius missed his first free throw of the season in the third quarter, snapping a streak of 22 in a row. The Pacers were 4-of-12 from the line in the period and 20 of 32 (62.5 percent) for the game. . 　　也许是被队友在罚球线上的表现影响，Sarunas Jasikevicius在第三节错过了 第一次的罚球，让连续罚进纪录停在２２球。该节溜马罚１２中４，整场比赛罚球则 是罚３２中２０（62.5%）。 Though Jeff Foster isn't expected to meet his original goal of a Thanksgiving return, the starting center will practice for the first time this year on Tuesday in Conseco Fieldhouse. How well his body responds to that session will go a long way toward determining the timeline for his return. "We're getting closer," said Coach Rick Carlisle. "We'll know more Wednesday." 　　虽然没办法达成在感恩节复出的目标，先发中锋Jeff Foster本季第一次上场练习 的时间已经不远。他的身体如何跟上练习会决定他何时能够回到场上，教练Rick Carlisle说：我们已经很接近（回到场上的目标），周三我们会知道更多。 While Foster has been out, veteran Scot Pollard has filled in nicely, starting the last four games. Though he hasn't played heavy minutes, Pollard has been a positive force while on the floor. "Pollard's been real solid for us," Carlisle said. "When you see a Yao (Ming), a (Zyudrunas) Ilgauskas or a Shaquille O'Neal, the likelihood is you'll see Pollard in the lineup. He's an energy guy for us." 　　虽然Foster仍然无法出赛，老将Scot Pollard倒是成为称职的替补人选，已经 连续先发四场。即使没有太长的上场时间，他在场上的影响力一直相当正面。Carlisle 说：Pollard真的是我们不可或缺的一员，当你看到姚明、Ilgauskas或是 Shaquille O'Neal，你通常都会看到Pollard准备上场。他是个充满干劲的球员。 Inactives for the game were Foster, Jonathan Bender and Eddie Gill for the Pacers; and McGrady, Alston, Bob Sura and Dion Glover for the Rockets. 　　 　　今天不能出赛的名单溜马有Foster、Jonathan Bender和Eddie Gill，火箭队 则有McGrady, Alston, Bob Sura 和 Dion Glover。 ○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○● STAT STUFFER／RON ARTEST UNSUNG SURPPORT／JERMAINE O'NEAL Scored 16 of his 24 points in the Scored 13 of his 15 in the first second half, adding five rebounds half, adding 11 rebounds. and three steals. 无名英雄／JERMAINE O'NEAL 本日之星／Ron Artest 上半场攻下１３分，全场１５分，外 下半场攻下１６分，全场攻下２４分、 加１１篮板 ５篮板３助攻 THORNY OPPONENT／YAO MING Scored 24 points with 13 rebounds and four blocked shots. 难缠对手／姚明 ２４分１３篮板４火锅 QUOYABLE／RICK CARLISLE "Their team plays unbelievably hard all the time.
