Rockets put up 111 to beat Warriors again. Sounds familiar. Start of another run? Posted by Jonathan Feigen at November 25, 2010 12:10 AM http://blogs.chron.com/nba/2010/11/rockets_put_up_111_to_beat_war.html 自翻 Happy as they were to get a rare home win, and to play pretty well to do it, the Rockets immediately began looking ahead in the hopes that the 111-101 win against the Warriors might be the start of a turnaround. 令人开心, 打的不错并拿下一胜. 111比101击败了勇士队. 火箭队似乎还是看见了一些希望. They might want to look back. The first game of the Rockets 22-game winning streak was a win against the Golden State Warriors, in Toyota Center, with the Rockets scoring 111 points. 回想一下, 当初在开启二十二连胜的第一场比赛对手就是勇士队, 同样在主场, 火箭队同样拿下了111分. Coincidences like that must mean something. 这是巧合吗, 还是一些预兆? Well, actually, they don't. And the Rockets were not 4-10 after beating the Warriors that night. But they are playing better lately, with good signs creeping in despite the disappointment of a bad first month to the season. 唔, 还是不要想太多. 当年连胜的时候火箭队可不是像现在一样4W10L. 不过最近火箭队真的有打的比较好一些, 相较於那个惨痛的开季. The bench is improving. Jordan Hill and Courtney Lee played well against Phoenix. Lee had a strong defensive game and made 3 of 4 shots against Golden State. Chase Budinger took a few steps toward escaping his shooting slump. 板凳进步了, J.Hill与Lee在太阳队的比赛打得不错. Lee在勇士队的比赛中打出不错的防守, 投四中三. Budinger看起来也似乎慢慢从外线的低潮走了出来. Kyle Lowry has improved big-time. He had been far from last season's level through most of his injury-derailed first month but in the past three games has averaged 10 assists. He had season highs of 14 points and seven rebounds on Wednesday, even knocking down a corner 3 late in the shot clock in the fourth quarter to get things going. Lowry进步了很多. 自从他受伤之後就一直没有打出该有的水准. 不过在过去三场比赛中他平均每场有十次助攻. 在礼拜三更拿下了本季新高的十四分七篮板. 第四节关键时刻的三分球更是大大地帮助了球队. There is a long way to go to climb back from the 3-10 start, but that can only begin not just with a win, but with a stretch playing well. 要从三胜十败的谷底爬上去是不容易的. 不过这一切可以从打了一场好球揭开序幕. "We have to get something going," Kyle Lowry said. "We have to get something rolling. It's a good start." "我们得全面启动."Lowry说. "我们必须步上轨道.这场胜利是个好的开始." A home win against the Warriors a few years ago was a far better start than they could have imagined, but go back a little further, to the 2004-05 season. 就在几年前, 击败勇士的一场胜利的确是一个好的开始. 好的超乎大家的想像. The 17th game that season was at Dallas, as it will be this season. The Rockets lost and fell to 6-11. 当时的第十七场比赛是在客场面对小牛. 当时火箭队输了并掉到六胜十一败. 这赛季的第十七场同样要去达拉斯. If they win two of their next three — at Charlotte, against Oklahoma City and at Dallas — they will be 6-11 again. 如果能在接下来的三场比赛赢得两场, 山猫(客场) 雷霆(主场) 小牛(客场), 火箭队就能跟当时一样变成六胜十一败的战绩. They went 51-31 that season. They have much further to go this season but still have hope for a similar turnaround. 当时的火箭队以五十一胜结束了球季. 今年看起来有点辛苦, 不过还是有一些希望. "We're looking to start something," Shane Battier said. "You can't start anything (before) winning a single game. Hopefully, we can take the good things we did tonight and go on the road and try to get one in Charlotte. "我们得做出一些改变."Battier说. "这一切都要从赢球开始. 希望我们能从这场比赛学到一些赢球的方法, 并带到夏洛特去." "This was a game we had to win, plain and simple. It would have been a long Thanksgiving if we didn't take care of business. Now we have to build on it." "这是一场我们需要的胜利. 如果我们没赢球的话, 这可会是一个不好过的感恩节." All the best to Jim Petersen, long-time Timberwolves broadcaster, former Rockets forward and all-around good guy. Jim suffered a mild heart attack on Wednesday and was resting in a Minneapolis hospital Wednesday evening. 为Jim Petersen祈福. 身为灰狼队的广播员, 也是火箭队过去的前锋, 礼拜三的时候因为心脏病在明尼苏达医院病逝了. Happy Anniversary. Wednesday marked one year since Tracy McGrady returned to Rockets practice and declared himself 100 percent ready, if only the coach and GM would let him play. He played six games last season with the Rockets and 24 for the Knicks. He is averaging 4.1 points in 14 games with the Pistons. 一周年了. 礼拜三同样是一个特别的日子. TMac在去年的这个时候回到了球队的练习, 并告诉大家他已经百分之一百康复, 并希望球队与GM让他上场表现. 他在去年为火箭出赛了六场, 在尼克队打了二十四场比赛. 目前在活塞队打了十四场比赛,平均拿下4.1分. Not sure that's what he had in mind when he insisted he was 100 percent a year ago. 当他坚持自己状态是百分之百的时候, 很令人好奇他到底在想甚麽. --
