Brooks says no '7-6 dude' in D-League http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/5382327.html By JONATHAN FEIGEN Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle As much as Rockets guard Aaron Brooks said he enjoyed his two-game assignment to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the NBA Development League, he said he hoped to see if he could apply the benefits of his work in the D-League to the Rockets. "It was fun. I had a good time down there," Brooks said. "The teammates were real cool. "There's no better training than actually playing. To get out there and play was good. I don't think I had that mentality for a while, to come to the game knowing I was getting a lot of minutes. To get that mentality again, get up and down, I felt great." Brooks说他在NBA Development League打的很爽。 The Vipers use an offense similar to the motion-based sets of the Rockets, but without a dominant center in the low blocks, Brooks had a chance to run more of point guard parts of the offense than if he were with the Rockets. "Of course, I held the ball a little more than I will in this offense," Brooks said "It is what we want to do in this offense, get up and down and run a little more. We didn't have a 7-6 dude. We had a 6-7, 6-6 guy playing center. But what they want me to do, I was doing down there." 小联盟球队Vipers使用和火箭类似的进攻模式，但球队里没有一个超屌中锋。 Brooks returned to the Rockets ahead of schedule because Rafer Alston was out with a strained groin. Coach Rick Adelman said he would like to give Brooks a look in practice. 小Brooks回到火箭，因为RA的该逼拉伤。 Rockets forward Steve Novak is expected to recalled today. 前锋 Steve Novak今天有可能被抠回NBA。 "Definitely, because we were down a guard," Adelman said of the decision to bring back Brooks. "But with Rafer being out and the type of injury he has, we need to get him back and get him in practice and see what he can do. He certainly has some skills we need. He can push the ball. He can shoot the ball. And he's got great quickness. You have to be sure when you throw him in the fire, he has a chance to succeed, too. Adelman说Brooks的确有我们需要之处，他能推进，能射，很快 XD "Right now, we're trying to find people to be effective. If an opportunity presents itself, I would not hesitate to play him." Alston is expected to be ready to play on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic at Toyota Center. Alston预计美国时间礼拜三能回来，在主场迎战奥兰多魔术。 "I had a lot of swelling after the game (against Detroit on Wednesday)," Alston said. "There was no pain, but my leg was huge. No pain, no structural damage, just swelling. The doctor (Mark Adickes) said it was best to let it rest and get the swelling down." 「在礼拜三和活塞打完之後，我觉得有点肿胀感。」Alston说，「不会痛，但是我的腿 肿起来了。不会痛（阿是要说几次？），没有结构的损伤，就只是肿。医生说最好休息 一下让肿胀消退。」 Balancing act Steve Francis got his third start with Rafer Alston out and said he believes consistent playing time would lead to more consistent play. "If I can stay playing more, I think that will help," Francis said. "It's hard when you play and then don't play. Hopefully, I can maintain some balance with it." 小法希望能获得稳定的上场时间。 「如果能让我多打一点，我想那会有帮助的。」小法说，「一下子让老子打，一下子又让 老子休息，打的好才有鬼。」 Sign show Tracy McGrady will have an autograph signing session from 1-1:30 p.m. today at the Rockets Shop at Toyota Center to promote his workout DVD, Basketball Training with Tracy McGrady. Fans purchasing any McGrady DVD today will be eligible to receive an autograph. 踢妹有个签名会..... --
