They trailed by more points than at any time in their celebrated winning streak and struggled more, too. 今天这场是火箭连胜六周以来少见的挑战，在今天之前的比赛中从未落後过这麽多分数。 Their run was in peril but they refused to let it end, driving themselves to a second-half comeback and an 89-80 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Friday night that pushed the Rockets' winning streak to 21 games, the second longest in NBA history. 今天的比赛一度让火箭的连胜陷入困境，但没有人愿意在今天终止连胜。充满韧性的火箭 在下半场硬是逆转情势，最终以89-80战胜夏洛特山猫，使得连胜记录来到NBA史上第二长 的21连胜。 "This is the greatest thing I've ever been around, just watching the way these guys have responded," Rockets coach Rick Adelman said. "These guys have been so good to be around, the way they have approached their job, the way they handled the streak, not getting too far ahead of themselves, playing hard every night. 「这是我经历过最伟大的事情了，看看火箭球员们怎麽逆转的，」Adelman说。 「身边有这些家伙真是太好了，他们打球的态度，对连胜的心态，他们没有好高骛远， 每天晚上都如此拼命的打球。」 "To get this streak, we had to really fight these last two games to get it." 「为了继续连胜下去，最近这两场我们真的是拼了老命！」 With their latest and perhaps toughest victory, the Rockets moved into Sunday's showdown with the Los Angeles Lakers tied for first place in the Western Conference. 火箭即将带着最近这艰难的光荣胜利迎接洛杉矶湖人的挑战，目前两队并列西区第一。 But as a prelude to that game, Friday's could hardly have generated more passion as the Rockets clung to their winning streak, finding just enough to keep it alive. 作为湖人之战的序曲，今天的比赛大大地为火箭注入一股激情，使球队得以继续连胜下去。 "This was a game where this team really tested our will," McGrady said. "This was a great test for us to see how mentally strong we really are. We didn't make shots in the first half, but I think in the second half we really came out focused. We knocked down some shots. We tightened up on the defensive end, and we got ourselves going." 「这场比赛真的是好好考验了我们的意志力，」T-mac说。 「这是个很棒的考验，让我们看看我们的心有多坚强。上半场大家的投篮都烙赛，但下半 场我们真的变得非常专注。我们巴了一些火锅，用生命死守对方，於是就逆转情势了。」 With the Rockets' offense bogged down by waves of missed 3-pointers, McGrady had to play all 48 minutes, scoring 30 points to go with seven rebounds and four assists. Mike Harris played the last 11 minutes, scoring 10 of his 12 points. 随着火箭在三分线的烙赛，T-mac不得不打满48分钟。T-mac得到30分 7篮板和4助攻。 Mike Harris则是在比赛最後11分钟内得到他12分中的10分。 Dikembe Mutombo had to block consecutive Emeka Okafor dunk attempts to seal the win. 为了赢得比赛，老木更是豁了出去，连续巴了几球Okafor的灌篮。 "We were more emotional (Friday) for some reason," Mutombo said. "I think about winning 15, and go past it, win 16. We win 19, and 'OK, break another record.' We went to Atlanta, the emotion was high again. We did it. (Friday) we were home and the emotion was high. We were excited, but with a little hesitation. 'Can we do it?' " 「因为一些原因，今天我们比以往还感动，」 木桶伯说。 「之前我想着15连胜，然後我们做到了，接着来到16连胜。到了连赢19场时，我想着『好！ 我们来打破纪录吧！！』 接着我们到亚特兰大作客，又是一场令人慷慨激昂的比赛。 今天，我们做到了，我们在主场写下这光荣的历史，大家的情绪都非常high。比赛前我 们很兴奋，但也有点犹豫，『我们真的作的到吗？』」 They had reason to wonder. The Rockets started quickly and led 17-8 after a McGrady reverse dunk and three-point play. But with 6:40 left in the first quarter, that dunk was their last field goal until a McGrady slam 3 1/2 minutes into the second quarter. 他们怀疑是有原因的。随着T-mac转身灌篮的三分打，火箭比赛一开打就以17-8领先。 但接着在第一节剩下的6:40内，T-mac的灌篮竟然是他们最後一次的field goal，一直到 第二节开打三分半时才靠着T-mac的灌篮再次得分。 "It was amazing," Mutombo said. "You could see our bench in the first quarter when we were behind. I said, 'Do not panic. We have been here before. Just stay focused. We might not make a shot today, we're going to win here because of our defense.' " 「这真是太豪洨了，」木桶伯说。 「当我们第一节落後时，看看我们的板凳吧。我说，『别紧张，我们以前也是常常这样， 只要保持专注力就好了。也许我们今天投不进很多球，但我们可是"范秃专业防守训练学 校"教出来的，我们会靠着坚强的防守赢得胜利！』」 The Rockets missed 14 consecutive shots and were outscored 21-1 in that stretch, falling behind by as many as 13 points. But they cut the deficit to seven by halftime, scored the first six points of the second half and finally found their offense. 在那波低潮中，火箭连续投丢了14球，被山猫打出21-1的攻势，使得火箭落後给山猫13分。 但他们在上半场结束时把比数拉近到7分，在下半场一开打又拉出6-0的小高潮，并且终於 找回他们的进攻。 The Rockets reeled off eight consecutive baskets, taking a 62-54 lead with 3 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter. 接着火箭连续砍进八球，在第三节终了前3分半钟时以62-54领先山猫。 The Bobcats answered, and when Gerald Wallace drained a 3 at the third-quarter buzzer, Charlotte was back within two. 山猫也不甘示弱，靠着G蛙在第三节结束时的buzzer beater，追到只落後火箭两分。 But the Rockets had recovered, scoring well enough to start the fourth quarter with a 13-2 run and holding the Bobcats to 33.3 percent shooting in the final 12 minutes. 但火箭也不是省油的灯，进攻打得很好，在第四节以一波13-2拉开差距，并且让山猫 在最後12分钟内只有33.3%的命中率。 "That's just the fight in us," Rockets guard Rafer Alston said. "We've been showing that throughout this impressive streak." 「这就是我们的斗志！」Alston说。 「我们在这波令人印象深刻的连胜中一直展现出这点。」 Mostly, they have shown they will find a way to win. 更重要的是，火箭让大家看到他们就是有办法赢球。 "I'm glad we did it to 21," Mutombo said. "Hopefully, Sunday we make it 22. 「连赢21场真的很爽，」老木说。 「希望我们礼拜天能干掉湖人拿下22连胜！」 "And my children and grandchildren can read this thing in the record book and say there was a team in Houston with a winning streak more than 20." 「我的子子孙孙们将会在NBA的历史中看到这段光辉的纪录，他们可以抬头挺胸的说， 休士顿有支曾经连赢20几场的超级球队！」 !!!!火箭魂!!!! -- █ █ ███ █ █ █ ████ ████ ████ ████ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ ████ █ █ █ █ █ █ ██ █████ █ █████ █ █ █ Ｘ Japan THE LAST LIVE ▉▊▋▌▍▎▏ ~嘎 抓~ -- --
