http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/6306527.html Kobe Bryant did what he usually does, but let’s not get sidetracked from the really important stuff. Kobe做了他平常做的事，但是不要忘了更重要的事。 This defeat comes with alarm bells for the Rockets. When the game was there to be won, the Lakers won it. 今天输球带给了火箭队警讯，当球赛快赢了，却又输了。 Who will win games for the Rockets when the playoffs begin, when it’s close in the final two minutes and the crowd is screaming and everything is coming undone? 谁才是那个会在季後赛，或是当球赛剩下两分钟观众都在尖叫的时候，带给火箭胜利呢? This was once Tracy McGrady’s role. At crunch time, the Rockets were his team. 这曾经是T-Mac在做的事，关键时刻，火箭就是他的球队! Maybe that’s the last piece of the puzzle for these Rockets. Everything else has worked out nicely now that the roster is stabilized and the roles are defined. Well, most of the roles. 或许这就是火箭队的最後一块拼图，现在的阵容很稳定，每个人有都有个自己的定位， 恩...大部分的人。 To win 50 games — which now seems likely despite Wednesday’s 102-96 loss to the Lakers — would be a nice accomplishment considering all that has happened. 撇开今天输球不谈，这些人都发挥的话，要拿到50胜是可以的。 Luis Scola and Carl Landry have taken huge steps forward. The new point guard tandem of Aaron Brooks and Kyle Lowry has been solid. Yao Ming is playing the best basketball of his life. Scolandry的进步，AB跟Lowry的稳定，还有今年是姚明打的最好的一年。 Is Artest the man? What the Rockets don’t yet know is where the ball will end up with the game on the line. Ron Artest is a tough, fearless competitor, but he’s not ever going to be the playmaker McGrady was. 火箭现在还是不知道要将最後一击交给谁，Ron Artest是一个强硬且没有畏惧的对手， 但是他还是没有办法做到像T-mac曾经做的那样。 Artest brings a toughness — and let’s face it, a weirdness — McGrady never did. We can argue that trade-off until dawn, but if McGrady is healthy, he’s still on the short list of the NBA’s very best players. Artest带来了顽强--很奇怪的，这是T-mac没有做到的。但是假如T-Mac是健康的，他还是 联盟中最好的球员之一。 Cue Kobe. First, he brought the Lakers back from a 14-point second-half deficit. When the Rockets backed off, he nailed jumpers. When they crowded him, he sliced into the lane to score. When he was pushed, he pushed back. 看看Kobe，他带着湖人队从落後14分追回来，当火箭又追上来时，他用尽各种方法得分。 Then, in those final two minutes, he was at his all-world best, scoring here, scoring there, exchanging words with Artest and shoves with Shane Battier, ready to take on the world. Bryant scored 13 of his 37 points in the final 1:45 and could have gotten more if the Lakers had needed them. 在最後两分钟，他就是最棒的，不管在任何地方都可以得分。他在最後1分45秒得了13分， 而且假如湖人需要得分的话，他还可以得更多分。 The Rockets were positioned to win and didn’t. They were 5-of-28 from 3-point land and turned the ball over 23 times. Yao was outplayed by Pau Gasol. 火箭应该要赢而没有赢。他们三分投28中5，又有23次失误，而且Gasol也表现的比姚好。 It was a playoff-type atmosphere, from the loud crowd to the hard fouls to the tempers that occasionally flared. 这场比赛已经有季後赛的气氛了，群众的吵杂、强硬的犯规，还有偶而暴躁的情绪。 In the end, though, the Rockets were reminded both of Bryant’s greatness and of the fact they’re still feeling their way along in the post-McGrady configuration of the team. 比赛结束後，不但提醒了他们Kobe的强大，还有他们仍走在没有T-Mac的路上。 (这句我不太会翻....sorry) No comparison to Bryant is fair. He’s one of the two best basketball players on earth and one of the best ever. His work ethic and commitment to winning are unmatched. 不用跟Kobe比较，他是最好的球员之一，他的态度还有求胜的渴望是无可比拟的。 (这句也是随便翻的....) He’s no McGrady The Rockets want the ball in Yao’s hands as often as possible in crunch time, but the larger question is what happens when the double teams collapse around him. 火箭希望能在关键时刻尽可能的把球交给姚，但是更大的问题是假如他被包夹了呢? Artest is the obvious answer, but he may not be a closer in the way McGrady was at his best. His greatest strength can be his greatest weakness. He never backs down, will challenge anyone, is always willing to make it one-on-one. Artest无疑就是最好的答案! 但是他还没有像T-Mac那麽好。他最大的优点也是他最大的缺 点。他从不退缩，会挑战任何人，而且愿意一对一。 “Some of the things that make him a very good player are the things that get him in trouble,’’ Rockets coach Rick Adelman said. “He’s fearless. He’ll challenge a guy out on the floor when he really doesn’t need to do that. He’ s got the attitude that he can attack anybody. If anything, I think he gets too amped up.’’ Adelman说："有些事成就了他成为好球员，但也带给他麻烦。""他无所畏惧，他会在不需 要的时候去挑战对方，他认为他可以击败任何人，他太好胜了。 He almost begged coaches for a one-on-one matchup with Bryant and then spent the final minutes of the game jawing with the Lakers star. 他几乎是拜托教练让他跟Kobe一对一，然後在最後几分钟一直跟Kobe挑衅。 “It was a fun game,’’ Artest said. 阿泰说：这是场有趣的比赛 “I kicked his (butt),’’ Bryant said. Kobe说：我把他打败了 Amped up? Artest made two critical turnovers in the fourth quarter as his competitive fires raged in too many directions at once. 好胜?Artest在第四节脑充血时犯了两个关键的失误。 He still might be the best option. He never tires, never quits. His energy rubs off on everyone. 或许他还是最好的选择，他从来不会累，不会放弃，他用他的活力来督促每个人。 When he sees Yao getting tired, he gets in his ear. “Go harder, go harder,’’ he tells him. “When you’re tired, that’s when you’ve got to push through it.’’ 当他看到姚明累的时候，他会在姚明耳边说："努力，继续努力! 当你感觉到累的时候， 才是你要去克服他的时候。" In the end, Artest’s positives far outweigh his negatives, and since he’s willing to take the last shot, he’ll almost certainly end up taking it. 在最後，Artest的优点还是盖过了他的缺点，从他愿意执行最後一击开始，他几乎都会 去做。 But on a night when the Rockets went toe to toe with the NBA’s best team, when they were positioned to win, they didn’t. Stay tuned. 但是今天面对全联盟最好的队伍，他们可以赢的，但是他们没有。 --- 恩...因为我还满喜欢阿泰的，所以翻了这篇文章给大家看看 虽然他最後会脑充血，不过很喜欢他的拼劲 希望Adelman有天可以觉醒阿...不要把小AB跟姚明放在一起 不然看大家这麽努力又输球 实在是很难过... --
