April 26, 2007, 1:59AM Rockets plan change in tactics Team knows it can't keep winning without more assertiveness on offense and improved shot selection By JONATHAN FEIGEN Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/4750106.html With the Rockets' offense misfiring, center Yao Ming had seen enough. 火箭队的进攻失灵,姚明看的够多了. The Rockets are leading their Western Conference first-round playoff series against the Utah Jazz 2-0 but are making only 37.5 percent of their shots. Forward Chuck Hayes, however, took five shots and made them all in Game 2 on Monday. 火箭队虽然目前在系列战中以2:0领先,但是投篮命中率只有37.5%. 不过前锋Hayes在第二场比赛却是五球全进. The evidence, Yao said, was clear. So was the solution: blame the coach. "I may ask his shooting coach to trade for Tom Thibodeau," Yao said of Rockets assistant Steve Clifford and Thibodeau, the assistant head coach who works with Yao. "He shot 5-for-5. I may try that one." 而造成如此的原因以及解决之道却是十分明显:都是投篮教练的错. "我想要把自己的投篮教练Tom Thibodeau跟Hayes的交换." 姚明说的火箭队助理Steve Clifford与Thibodeau,是与他共事的助理领队教练. "他投五中五耶,我真该试试看." The problem with this plan is that the Rockets might not be eager for Yao to emulate the shooting form of Hayes. But they do believe some adjustments are in order. The Rockets have won two games despite their lackluster shooting but know they must do better offensively to keep winning. 其实火箭队并不需要姚明追上Hayes的命中率,但是他自己的确需要某些调整. 虽然在进攻不彰的状况下赢球, 但是他们仍然了解,若要持续获得胜利,进攻方面肯定需要加强. The Jazz have pressured the Rockets ragged. Open shots have missed. Tough shots have been rushed. But after two days to consider the two games, the Rockets believe they understand the problems and solutions. "It's them dictating our offense, what they want us to do," guard Tracy McGrady said. "Normally, during the regular season, you're pretty much getting what you want. You're catching the ball where you want to catch it. You run your offense smoothly. Jazz队给予火箭队相当大的压迫.一些空档的出手没有能够进球,高难度的出手更是不容易 得分. 两天之後回顾前两场比赛,火箭队认为他们了解自己的问题,以及解决的方法. "他们限制住了我们的进攻,这正是他们所希望见到的."TMac说. "正常的情况下,如例行赛,得分并不是件难事.你能够在你想要的位置接到球,进攻就更顺 畅的多." "This team, since it's the playoffs and since they're a high-energy team, they're making us catch the ball where we don't want to catch the ball, making us run pick-and-rolls in an area where we don't normally run pick-and-roll. I think that has something to do with our shooting. "这支队伍是一支充满活力的队伍,更何况现在是季後赛. 他们迫使我们在自己不喜欢的位置接球,甚至连pick & roll都是在不熟悉的位置. 我想这都跟我们的投篮表现有很大的关系." "There's always a counter to everything. We worked on some of that as far as where we catch the ball, how we're going to go about catching the ball and, if they put pressure on us, what we're going to do when that happens. We have our ways of overcoming when they put pressure on us." "场上的一举一动都不轻松.我们必须费力去接球,去跑位,以及当他们压迫时我们做出反应 . 不过对这样的压迫我们还是自有方法." Besides employing greater discipline and determination to run the offense despite Utah's defensive pressure, the Rockets might have found a solution even before getting to the practice court Wednesday. 除了加强在进攻方面的训练以及决心,火箭队还是得在星期三的训练之前找到应对的方式. Against the aggressive Jazz defense Monday, the Rockets' increased assertiveness led to more fouls and free throws and a 51-point second half on 48.6 percent shooting. 星期一面对Jazz侵略式的防守之下,火箭队努力制造对手的犯规,而获得更多罚球机会. 下半场拿到了51分,也有着48.6%的命中率 "I think we learned a lesson in the second half," forward Shane Battier said. "If we're aggressive with the basketball, going to the basket, we'll shoot some free throws. We have to use that aggressiveness to our advantage, rip through when they're really pressuring us and go to the rack." "我们在下半场学到不少."前锋Battier说. "如果我们更积极去进攻,我们就会获得更多罚球机会. 在他们的防守之下,这样子的做法能够让我们获得优势" While that would be a start, coach Jeff Van Gundy said some improved shot selection would help, too. 而在这之前,教练老大JVG也提到了更好的投篮机会选择也有助於提高命中率. "I thought four or five (3-point attempts) were not quality shots," Van Gundy said. "They're closing on us as hard as anybody has closed to the 3-point line. You have to give them a lot of credit. Some others are makable and need to be made. The quality hasn't been what it's been in the regular season. "我认为有四到五球的三分线出手其实并不是那麽恰当."JVG说. "他们贴的很紧,几乎每个球员都靠上来三分线防守. 你不能让他们太轻易地猜到你要做什麽.(这句不太会翻 囧) 我们这两场出手时机的选择,相较於例行赛来说并不是那麽地好." "Shooting contested 3-point jump shots is not a formula for winning. If they're going to close hard on you, you've got to be more than a one-trick pony. You have to have a counter." "在防守之下勉强地投三分并不是胜利方程式. 当他们贴的越紧,我们就越不能只有那一千零一招.要做出适当的反击才行." The Rockets' 42.9 percent shooting ranked 27th in the NBA this season, but that included 35.1 percent from the 3-point arc, which was fifth-best. No other team generated as much of its offense from 3-point shooting as the Rockets. But in the first two games of the Jazz series, the Rockets have made only 13 of 55 3-pointers (25.5 percent). 火箭队本季命中率42.9%排名全联盟27.不过其中35.1%的三分线却是联盟第五. 在进攻得分方面,火箭队的三分球比例也是最高的. 但在前两场比赛中,火箭队只有13/55的三分线,也就是25.5%. "I've had so many great looks," said Battier, who has made four of 12 treys. "Ask my wife. I stay up late at night pondering the looks that I've gotten. I probably have gotten better looks than I had in the regular season, but I haven't made many of them." "我有许多空档."Battier说,他出手十二球命中四球. "你可以问问我老婆.我每天熬夜思考那些我得到的出手机会. 我甚至比在例行赛有更多的出手机会,但是我却没有能够投进太多球." Luther Head, the Rockets' top 3-point shooter this season, is 1-of-9 from beyond the arc. Rafer Alston is 4-of-16. The Rockets believe that while the Jazz might make things more difficult, the ways around and through the Utah defense have not changed. 火箭队本季的首席三分射手Head,也只有1/9的成绩.Alston的4/16也没好到哪里去. 他们相信,Jazzs会尝试更严密的防守.Jazz的防守方式并不会改变. "They're very aggressive and the most physical team in the league," Van Gundy said. "Against teams that pressure the ball, no matter what you're running, (you have to) get enough separation from the defenders so you have operating room. "他们非常积极,并且是联盟中身体对抗最强硬的队伍."JVG说. "要对付如此有压迫性的队伍,跑位似乎改善不了什麽. 你必须尝试着拉开那些防守者,清出一些动作的空间." "I know what we have to do to try to play better. That's what we're trying to focus on — how we can play better. We would like to do what we do a little bit better for a little bit longer." "我当然知道我们必须打的更好.这也是我们一直在努力专注的方向. 我们愿意做任何事让我们变的更强,走的更远." Do that, and the offense that was barely able to produce two victories just might become good enough to add two more. 若是这样,再加上前两场获胜的进攻表现,或许就有机会再赢两场. --- 喔喔喔 就是明天了!!! 看来明天整个早上都无法专心上班了 XD --
