"Come in here, get a couple practices, get up and down the court. Don't want to rush it because we don't want the same thing to happen again. We'll see." 「从现在开始，我要休息一周看看。」踢妹说。 「不会太快回到球场，因为大家都不想看到同样的鸟事一再发生。」 McGrady, the Rockets' leader in points and assists per game, left at halftime of last Wednesday's loss to Orlando and missed the double-overtime loss to Denver the next night. He played Saturday in Chicago but left shortly after halftime the next night against Detroit after a flare-up of the knee pain following a dunk late in the first half. T-mac目前是队上的得分王和助攻王。在对活塞的比赛因为灌篮，使得膝伤加重。 Rockets trainer Keith Jones on Wednesday would not discuss a timetable for McGrady's return until meeting with the doctors, likely today. "It's definitely a relief," McGrady said of the MRI results. "I thought I had something torn in there. That's not the case. It's just sprained. I'll probably be out a week. I don't really know. I can't really put a timetable on it. I know I'll miss the next few games. 反正就是T-mac会缺赛至少一周，几场比赛。 "It's a sprain. I got some inflammation in there we got to get out." Adelman willing to wait The Rockets held out hope McGrady could return sooner than he predicted. But coach Rick Adelman said they might be better off getting him back when he is able to move and play at full strength, rather than with him continuing to be limited and going in and out of the rotation. 也许大家会希望T-mac尽快回来，不过教练Adelman说他们宁可要一个可以又跑又跳的健 康T-mac，也不要T-mac抱伤上场并且又一再复发。 "So far, the tests they did looked fine," Adelman said. "He's got soreness in it. He's the only one who can tell us how he feels. We'll just have to see what happens from this point on. I just kind of look at it as a day-by-day thing. I'd much rather have him playing, but if it's better for him not to play, we just have to accept that. 「有T-mac在队上当然更好，但如果休息对T-mac是更好的话，那我们当然希望她好好休 养。」Adelman说。 "When he does play, it's a big lift for us. But he can't play like he's tried to. When it's bothering him, he can't move the way he wants to move. That doesn't help us at all. It's frustrating. You'd like to have him out on the floor. You'd like to have him playing. But if he's not going to play, you really need the other people to step up." Without McGrady, the Rockets are 0-3 this season, 2-12 the past two seasons and 11-42 since he joined the Rockets for the 2004-05 season. McGrady has left three games with injuries this season — a sprained elbow, a sprained bankle and the sore left knee. But in the previous game McGrady missed, the Rockets took the Nuggets to two overtimes in Denver before losing on a last-second shot. 这球季没有踢妹的比赛，火箭战绩仅仅是0胜3败，最近两季则是2胜12败。而自从T-mac 04-05年交易到火箭之後，T-mac缺席的比赛更只有11胜42败。T-mac今年曾因伤缺赛三次 分别是-扭伤的手肘、脚踝、酸痛的膝盖。不过在上一次没有T-mac的比赛，火箭还能和 金块杀到二次延长才输掉球。 Heading to Memphis to face the Grizzlies on Friday in the first half of a back-to-back with Toronto at Toyota Center on Saturday, the Rockets have lost four of their past five games. They have lost six of eight since last winning consecutive games Dec. 5 and 7. Their next three games, including the New Year's Eve game against Golden State, are against teams that have defeated the Rockets this season since their slide from the 6-1 start. "It's a good opportunity to find ourselves," center Yao Ming said. "We can't keep going on like we are now. This is a good time to test us. We need to turn the season around. We're probably (playing) a little better but still not good enough if we want to be a good team in this league. Our record is 13-15. That says we're still struggling." 「这是我们找回自己的好机会，」姚明说。 「我们不能再鸟下去了，这是我们测试自己的好时机。我们需要扭转情势。也许我们最近 有打的比较好了，不过如果想要成为联盟中的强队，似乎还是不够好。现在战绩仅有13 胜15败，你看，我们很鸟吧。」 Back-to-back up next Adelman and Rockets players have said they believe the team has improved. Though they face a Friday-Saturday back-to-back and have been terrible in back-to-backs (2-6 when playing a second game in as many nights), this week was supposed to be a chance to improve the record,as well. Now they appear certain to try to do that without McGrady. 火箭教练和球员们都觉得球队最近有在进步，虽然这礼拜的比赛又是back-to-backs， 火箭的back-to-backs一向打的很烂（2胜6败），这礼拜是把这数据弄好看一点的机会。 而且这次要尝试在没有T-mac的情况之下打back-to-backs。 "We have to turn it up another level," guard Rafer Alston said. "With Tracy, we had to turn it up. Now, without him, we have to turn it up two notches. Most of us have been there before, missing one of our superstars if not both. I'm well prepared to go out there and do the job. I know these guys understand the position we put ourselves in." Whether they would be better served to play with McGrady diminished by the injury or to give him the time needed for him to be back at full strength is unclear. McGrady sounded ready to wait, a position that teammates endorsed. "He's been in this league a long time," forward Shane Battier said. "He knows the length of the season and about knickknack injuries, especially early. We'd rather have him heal up and come back 100 percent. 巴爷说，T-mac已经在这联盟很久了，他知道球季还很长。我们宁可T-mac 100%康复再回到 球场上。 "T-Mac on one knee isn't the best for him and isn't the best for our team. He needs to get right, and only he knows when he is ready to go full bore." Still, McGrady's declaration Wednesday could have been considered a surprise, coming so soon after good MRI news. But by now, the Rockets have learned to assume nothing. [email protected] --
