Ariza spends fourth quarter on bench, but Rockets lose again anyway http://blogs.chron.com/sportsjustice/archives/2010/01/ariza_spends_fo.html 自翻 Rick Adelman finally pulled the plug on Trevor Ariza, playing him just 23 minutes and leaving him on the bench in the fourth quarter during a dispiriting 102-95 loss to the Hawks Monday night. Adelman终於把Ariza放在板凳上, 整场比赛只出场了23分钟, 第四节完全没上场, 却还是以102-95输给了老鹰. Much was made of the Ron Artest-for-Ariza swap last summer. Some of us thought the Rockets got the better of the deal. So far, it hasn't worked out. Ariza与Artest的交易, 有些人或许会觉得火箭队赚到了, 但是至少目前看起来好像不适这样. Incidentally, any evaluation of Ariza has nothing to do with Artest, who wasn't a good fit for this version of the Rockets. He's just too unpredictable and too volatile in a locker room with so many players being counted on for the first time in their NBA careers. Ariza似乎还是跟Artest无从比较. 似乎还是无法良好地融入现在的火箭队. 表现起伏太大, 无法被其他队员所依靠. Ariza's issues begin with 38'percent shooting, including 30 percent from 3-point land. He shot 36 percent in November and December, and has improved all the way to 39 percent in January. Ariza的问题出在三成八的命中率, 三分球更只有三十趴 11月与12月只有三成六, 一月进步到三成九. Adelman has urged him to focus on rebounding and playing defense, and to stop worrying about his offense. There are nights when he's taking fewer shots overall, but with the Rockets having lost 7 of 11, they need offense, especially when the defense has been so sluggish for stretches. Adelman鼓励他把精力放在篮板球与防守上面, 而先别担心自己的进攻. 有几场比赛他的出手次数减少了, 不过对於近十一场比赛输了七场的火箭来说, 我们很需要进攻. 尤其是目前的防守疲弱不堪. It'll be interesting to see how Adelman adjusts his rotation for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. Will we see less of Ariza and more of Chase Budinger? Will he work Joey Dorsey or Jermaine Taylor into the mix? Only Adelman and his staff know how those guys have done in practice, but something needs changing. 让我们看看礼拜三打金块的比赛, Adelman会怎样调度. 我们会看到Ariza坐久一些板凳而让Budinger发挥多一些吗? Dorsey与Taylor会有机会亮相吗? 只有Adelman知道球员们在平常练习的成果如何, 不过这支球队需要一些改变. The Rockets are tied with the Thunder and Hornets for the ninth-best record in the Western Conference, and at the moment, both those teams are playing better. The Rockets knew this would be a challenging season from the moment they realized they might not have Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming. Players like Aaron Brooks and Kyle Lowry are being counted on for a full season for the first time. Hey, no one promised you a rose garden. 火箭与雷霆还有黄蜂共居西区第九的战绩, 不过另外两支球队的现况比我们好多了. 我们知道这个没有MM的球季是很有挑战性的. 像Brooks与Lowry这样的球员被赋予重任, 还是先不要期望太高了. It'll be interesting to see how Daryl Morey is able to change the roster at the trading deadline. For the last year, he has positioned the franchise to make an impact move after this season, but he surely would like to do something before then. 让我们再看看Morey能在交易截止日之前变出什麽把戏吧.
