You’ve already done more than most of us thought possible. That’s the thing about these Rockets. They believed in themselves when almost no one else did. So there’s no reason to wave a white flag after one bad night. 火箭队已经做到了比大家想像中更多的事。就算没有人相信他们，他们还是相信自己， 所以就算经过了很糟糕的一晚，也不需要就此气馁。 In the end, a 95-84 loss to Dallas on Wednesday was one game. Never mind that it came with a huge price. Instead of opening the playoffs at Toyota Center, the Rockets will be in Portland to play a young, aggressive and confident team. 今天输给小牛，不过就只是一场比赛，所以不用太在意。不过季後赛开打我们就得到 年轻有侵略性的宅拓家去了....。 This was a dress rehearsal for the playoffs. Here’s hoping the Rockets were paying attention. From here on out, it’s going to be roaring crowds, smothering defenses, flaring tempers, flying elbows. 今天这就像季後赛的演练，希望火箭能专注去比赛。从现在开始，需要面对的是嘈杂 的观众、强硬的防守、亢奋的情绪，还有一堆拐子。 This was a night the Rockets showed the world they’ve still got some growing to do. 今天晚上，火箭队让大家知道，他们是还可以进步的。 “We’ve got to make better decisions,’’ coach Rick Adelman said. Adelman说："我们得做更好的决定。" (这要从你的调度开始吧.....) A coach can talk and talk and talk. Sometimes, though, young players have to experience it for themselves. The Rockets turned a 10-point deficit into a 14-point lead in the first half. But they couldn’t finish the deal. 教练是可以一直念念念，不过有时候，年轻球员是需要靠自己去学到经验。火箭今天上半 场从落後10分追到领先14分，不过後来还是输了...。 “We had a shot and didn’t take care of it,’’ Shane Battier said. “We’ve moved on.’’ Battier说："我们有机会赢，但是是我们自己没有把握好。不过我们还是得继续前进。" The Mavericks did what good teams do. They applied some pressure and hit some shots. Then they turned it up a notch at both ends of the floor because they wanted to see how the Rockets would respond. 小牛做了一只好的队伍该做的事，他们对我们施压，且投进了一些球。然後他们在攻防 两端都加强，看看火箭队能有什麽反应。 The Rockets came undone. They stopped moving the ball on offense and let some guys slip free on the other end. 然後火箭就自己崩溃了，他们不止进攻时球停止流动，也在防守端上让对方轻易得手。 That’s the thing we just don’t know about these Rockets. Even as they sprinted toward the playoffs, they had nights when their inexperience was exposed. 这就是火箭谜样的地方，就算他们全力冲进季後赛，还是有一些晚上他们经验不足的问题 明显暴露出来...。 This was a game against a really good, really experienced playoff team. There ’s no shame in losing to the Mavericks no matter how it happened. Good teams sometimes beat good teams. What the Rockets will remember are those two losses to the Grizzlies and those losses to the Wizards, Bulls and Clippers. Had they won a couple of those games, this one wouldn’t have mattered. 今天对上的队伍，是一只很有季後赛经验的球队，所以不管是怎样输给小牛的都并不 可耻。好的球队有时候会打败好的球队，但是火箭会记得的是那些输给灰熊、巫师、 公牛还有快艇的比赛。都可以让这些球队赢球了，所以今天的比赛不算什麽... Afterward, Adelman seemed to be fighting about a dozen different emotions. One involved Yao Ming’s again getting hacked repeatedly without a whistle blowing. He played 35 minutes and shot three foul shots. You do the math. 之後Adelman似乎有为了一些情绪争吵。其中一点是姚明在场上被不停的犯规但是哨音 都没有响起。他打了35分钟但是只罚了三次球，你自己算看看这是怎样... The Rockets didn’t lose because of the lack of whistles. They lost because they began throwing up dumb jumpers when the Mavericks cranked up the defensive pressure on Yao, instead of moving the ball and making the extra pass. 不过火箭不是输在哨音不响，他们是输在当小牛对姚明的防守加压，就只会投一些 愚蠢的跳投，而不是多将球传导。 “Fourteen points in the fourth quarter,’’ Battier said. “That pretty much sums it up.’’ Battier说："第四节的14分，整个让他们士气打起来。" Were those shots their way of honoring Tracy McGrady? Save the tributes for next season, fellas. 这些投篮是想要表示对T-Mac的尊敬吗? 拜托省省吧...要这样也是下季再来做... In the fourth quarter, the Rockets made just three baskets, all by Carl Landry. Yao got just one shot in the quarter. If the Rockets ignore him this way during a playoff game, they’ll lose by 20. 第四节火箭只投进三球，都是Landry投的。姚明一节内只出手。要是在季後赛他们再 这样忽略姚明，就准备输20分吧。 The Rockets threw up 17 3-pointers and missed 13 of them. Ron Artest took too many bad shots, going 4-of-13 from the field, and is the other unknown factor with this team. 今天火箭三分球17投只有4中。阿泰做了很多不好的出手选择，只有13投4中，他也算是 这支球队的另一个不安定因子。 Brooks and Wafer have never been in this situation, so it’s impossible to know how they’ll react. As for Artest, he’s capable of winning or losing a playoff series. Let’s be kind by saying Wednesday wasn’t his best game of the season. 小AB跟Wafer从来没有经历过这种情况，所以没办法知道他们会如何反应。至於阿泰， 在季後赛里，他可以让球队赢球，也可以让球队输球。我们就好心一点的说，今天不是 他在赛季中最好的表现。 Adelman gave it the best spin possible. “We played well all year long,’’ he said. “It’s just a matter of regrouping and getting ready for the weekend.’’ Adelman给了一个合理的解释："我们整年都打的很好，现在我们要做的只是在这个 周末把自己重整好。" That weekend could have had a roaring home crowd and the momentum of a nice victory over Dallas. 本来这个周末可以开心的在主场开打而且还有打赢小牛的气势。 Instead, it will include a long flight and a loud, hostile crowd. The Mavericks gave them a taste of what it’ll be like. 不过现在，不只要坐很久的飞机，还要接受宅拓主场观众的嘈杂摧残。小牛已经给了 火箭嚐嚐这样的滋味如何了。 “We’re in the playoffs,’’ Artest said. “It’s something that can be corrected. It’s something that will be corrected.’’ 阿泰说："我们已经在季後赛里了，有些事是可以且需要去改进的。 --
