大意翻一下 由於我的英文小洞不断，请大家指正罗 It’s 7:07 A.M. right now at the time of writing. I’ve had a little over six hours now to digest last night’s loss. I’ve calmed down a bit and am glad I stepped away when I did. Had I not, I would have certainly written things I’d later regret – things fueled by pure, unadulterated anger. As I said last night, I was livid. In fact, I don’t think I can even recall the last time I’ve been so upset during and after a Houston Rockets game. 现在是凌晨七点钟，写了文章头有点痛 经过六个小时候 我稍微冷静一点了 如果我没稍微冷静一点 写出来的文字连我自己都害怕啊~~~~~ 我会变成一个不成熟的愤怒者 The unfortunate part is that this should be a time for celebration. The team will be playing its first playoff game since 2009, and its first playoff game in Red94′s existence. Instead, all I feel right now is anger: anger over the way the team completely choked at the end, for the second year in a row, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, and bumbling away a golden chance to face a hobbled Spurs team against whom some felt they can beat. Instead, they will now open at Oklahoma City, the expected Western Conference champion. 这段时间本来该是值得庆祝的 火箭从2009年後再次进入季後赛 不过我一点都高兴不起来 我超不爽 最後这几场比赛真的超令人不爽 白白浪费能够对上马刺的大好机会.........稍微有可能突破第一轮的选择 现在勒 要对上雷霆 Last night’s meltdown started and ended in predictable fashion in the same manner in which we’ve seen far too many losses this season. The Rockets began the 4th with another one of Kevin McHale’s patented smallball lineups, one that saw journeyman Carlos Delfino guarding the 7-foot Pau Gasol. Both Jeremy Lin and James Harden sat on the bench–a predicament which by any evaluative measure, either statistical or observational, should absolutely never occur yet for some baffling reason continues to with unacceptable frequency–and things played out as expected. The Lakers, with the size advantage, gained momentum and then never looked back. That’s really all it takes in the NBA. One lineup error for a one-minute stretch and the game turns. I had written all along, through the first three quarters, that while Houston was leading, one just didn’t feel comfortable. Things got much worse, though. 昨天晚上的失败，不意外 这样的剧本本季已经发生好多次了 又一次的，火箭队又失去了他们的胜利 感谢飞天小冰箱 第四节开场又放上小球战术 後宫甄环德妃对上七尺的娘娘 然後哈林同时在板凳上 不管你是印象派大师还是数据派的 都不该做出这样的决定，太不合理了 湖人队就靠着身高优势抢到了领先，然後一去不复还 这在NBA很常见 一分钟错，满盘皆输 我累了 我已经写了好多好多场神奇宝贝的剧本 火箭队先嚣张威武了前3/4时间 然後最後就好讨厌的感觉.............. 而且看起来更糟糕了 The starters were brought back in and what ensued over the next several minutes, spanning from the latter half of the 4th quarter through overtime, was what I described last night, in the moment, as a complete and utter disgrace. Now let’s take a quick moment to step back for some perspective: the Rockets choking in the clutch is nothing new. In fact, I wrote about it just the other day. Their league-leading offense shrinks to one of the worst in basketball in late-game situations. So this is a problem you saw coming. Why it became so tough to stomach was because of the stakes and the stage, and a duration which felt like an eternity. 在第四节的後半段和延长赛 先发的表现又回到了那个鸟样，像我前一篇文章说的一样 现在 我们来快速的看一下火箭这个没任何新意的烂调度 事实上，我才刚写完一篇这样的东西啊!!!!!!!! 又要再一篇了 一个联盟最强之矛的球队 在最後阶段表现得像乐透区球队一样 As is pretty much the case anytime the Rockets are involved in a close game in the 4th quarter, the team completely abandoned its pick&roll offense, resorting to the dreaded “hero-ball spread.” For those who have been living in a cave, (or don’t have CSN), this is a set where, essentially James Harden holds the ball at the top of the key while the other 4 players spread out of the way. Harden then dribbles the ball for about 20 seconds and chucks up some variation of a contested jumper, whether it be from straightaway ’3′ or of the stepback variety within 2 point range. 恩 在最近几场的比赛中 一到了第四节 火箭队就完全放弃了挡切战术 改选用了 英(球)雄(给)篮(哈)球(登) 哈登拿着球，其他人全都清开 哈登先拿着球玩了20秒 然後进行了一些很糟糕的跳投 这其中的一点点差别只在於这球是三分还是两分 The offense completely sputtered, LA capitalized at the other end and maintained the lead. Chandler Parsons then hit perhaps the flattest 3 point shot in the history of basketball, everyone on Twitter erupted, and the game went to overtime. 进攻完全解开放印的湖人队取得了领先 还好要加薪的高富帅丢了一颗超级平射炮 射得推特上每个人都在尖叫 才得以进入延长赛 The Rockets then started out overtime, in creative fashion, running a few isolation sets for Parsons. Those of course didn’t end well. Harden started hogging again, got blocked a few times and the game ended. See you in Oklahoma on TBD at TBD. 延长赛 火箭队有了一点点的创意...........改换高富帅单打 不过都没得分 既然创新不行，火箭队又回到了老样 哈登又开始了 然後连续被挡下好几次，比赛结束 好吧 在不确定是某时某地的雷霆之战 我们再看看吧 A few thoughts which may or may not end completely off topic: Who is to blame: Harden or McHale? First, Harden. Actually, scratch that. Let’s say the good first: 到底是哈登还是冰箱的责任呢? 在讨论到底是哈登还是冰箱的责任前 我们可以先来讨论一下优点 Omer Asik had one of his best games of the season, completely shutting down Dwight Howard in the first half. Jeff Van Gundy remarked numerous times in the first quarter, “I don’t understand why they’re doubling Howard against Asik. His (Omer’s) defense is better than Howard’s offense.” I didn’t understand McHale’s reasoning either. Of course, the double teams led to numerous open 3′s in the first quarter, shots which enabled the Lakers to stay in the game at that point. In any event, Asik sealed off the paint and converted numerous other times offensively with violent slams. Chandler Parsons really seems to play his best on national television. Now, the bad: 阿西打出了本季最好的表现 完全让魔兽无法发挥 Jeff Van Gundy在第一节讲了同样的话好几次 "我不知道他们干嘛double魔兽" "阿西的防守远胜於魔兽的进攻" 我也不懂冰箱的理由 这个double战术让三分射爽爽 阿西封锁了禁区 不让攻击转换轻易得逞 高富帅则是在这场全美转播的比赛中 完全了表现出他有多帅 好了 优点讲完了 讲缺点 This was Harden’s worst game of the year. 30 points on 25 shots. Going vigilante on offense (unless that was the call from the bench; more on this later.) Bitching at teammates for his own mistakes. Interestingly, viewing the fan reaction on Twitter and other venues, you can kind of sense the end of the honeymoon for the faithful with Harden. Now in no means am I implying that he isn’t adored. Unless J.J Watt were also running, Harden would win any mayoral contest here – he’s basically put the Rockets back on the map and given this city hope it hasn’t had in years. What I mean though is that, we’ve entered that phase where, after the honeymoon, while you still deeply adore your significant other, you no longer view them as The Second Coming. You start to see the flaws and realize you’re going to have to cope with them. That’s becoming the case with Harden. His abysmal defense has already been extensively documented. Now it’s the late game hero-call spontaneity and the bitching at teammates. 这是哈登今年最烂的比赛 出手25次只拿了三十分 在进攻上自己自作主张乱打 (除非这个行为是教练的指示) 因为自己的错误抱怨队友.......... 有趣的是，看看推特和其他粉丝页上球迷的反应 球迷们和哈登的蜜月期结束了，开始回到现实 我不是在说哈登不值得我们尊敬 他这季的表现够格领得休士顿市长奖 他把火箭队又带入了竞争集团 重新成为季後赛球队 这已经好几年没发生了 I noted several times last night where Harden, after throwing an errant pass to Asik, which Asik predictably failed to reel in, barked at the Turk on the way back down. This is something I’ve seen many other times over the course of this season. I quipped on Twitter that this is quickly becoming an abusive relationship as Asik just turns, puts his head down and meekly runs back to the other side of the court. The irony here is that for all of the times Asik has covered for Harden on the defensive end, you’d think he’d have boughten him a Rolex by now or something. 昨晚我发现发生了好多次 哈登乱传给阿西，球没了 哈登在回防的时候一边跑一边朝着阿西碎念 本季我已经看过了很多次这样的情况了 我在推特上打趣的说 阿西很快的会变成M倾向，一个受虐狂 头低低然後跑向球场的另一端去防守 更讽刺的是 阿西客在防守上帮哈登了补了很多网 所以你会想着 哈登可能是送了阿西劳力士表或着其他的 才让阿西这样做 Sidenote: A friend and I have a theory that the only way to stop the abuse is to nip it in the bud from the get-go. Did you ever have that fat friend in childhood who never said anything when everyone picked on him and made fat jokes? What happens is that after the initial taunts are not met with rebuke, it becomes ingrained in the public gestalt that such ridicule is acceptable. This then perpetuates the abuse. Same thing in sports. You’ll often see that teams are quick to heap blame on one particular whipping boy, even when unjustified, simply because they’ve let it be known that they’ll allow it. 额外想法: 我和我朋友有个理论 要阻止一个错误的行为 最好的方法就是在这行为刚开始的时候就去阻止他 你小时候有没有一个很可怜的胖朋友 他什麽都没说，人家就会主动跑去嘲笑他 ............. 翻一翻发现没什麽关联性 就是作者认为不能让这情况习以为常 McHale: I wrote this summer, in my evaluation of his performance last season, that Kevin McHale deserved a C+. What was an ‘A’ for his handling of such a young team was brought down to a ‘C’ for his role in one of the greatest meltdowns in franchise history. That same can be said for this season though not to the same degree as this loss is in no way comparable to a 6 game late season losing streak. It’s simple, and Jeff Van Gundy has said it himself. When a team gets blown out, its on the players. When they lose close games, especially in the exact same manner every time, that’s on the coaching. Whether ISOball is the call from the bench or Harden is going off cue is a subject for later debate, but there is simply no justification for some of the completely unimaginative plays the Rockets have run out of timeouts. Throw a wrinkle in here and there. Instead of 4 guys watching Harden, how about 3 guys watching Harden while one guy bends over to tie his shoes! I don ’t know…do something to vary it up. There is literally no excuse for the game to end last night, on a critical possession, with Jeremy Lin chucking a desperation 3 pointer after James Harden dribbled away 20 seconds from the shot clock. None. 冰箱的评价: 我这季暑假就已经写好了这篇了 根据上季的表现 我给他的评价是C+ 本来该给他A的 因为他能带领这年轻的球队打成这样 可是我给他C 因为他也让球队经历了史上最大崩盘 所以同样的 虽然没危害到那种程度 可是一样是很惨的季末六连败 冰箱要负责任，这很简单的，就像 Jeff Van Gundy说的 当球队一面倒，球员要负最大的责任 可是当他们表现得势均力敌 结果输掉了 而且每一次输掉的方式都一样 这就是教练的错 不管球给哈登的战术是哈登自己的决定还是教练的决定都一样 这点我们晚点在讨论 我们先讨论很浅而易见的问题 为什麽一个完整的暂停过後 还不能打出一个合理的战术? 三个人看着哈登 一个人看着自己的鞋子绑鞋带..........冏 这在干嘛....我看不懂，能想办法改变吗? 昨晚的比赛没有任何藉口 像其中有一球 哈登先运球玩了二十秒 然後把炸弹丢给了林书豪........ 迫於无奈，林书豪只好勉强出手 (这球很印象深刻.....= =a ) Finally, it begs the transcendental debate: is it Harden or McHale? If we build from the premise–regarding which everyone should be in agreement–that the Rockets’ late-game offensive schemes are completely unacceptable, upon whom should the fault be placed? There are those who put it on McHale, believing that the total abandonment of the team’s actual offense is by design. And then there are those put it on Harden, assuming that The Beard is ad libbing off cue against his coach’s instructions. Either way, there’ s going to have to be a solution and you can bet it will be discussed: the superiority of team offense over conventional crunchtime ISOball is almost axiomatic in the stat-geek community. But what’s the solution? If McHale is the problem, you just replace him. But if it’s Harden, there’s hope too: numerous other young superstars, from Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, had to be reined in and made to understand the importance of trusting the scheme and trusting their teammates. Remember: James is just 23. This is his first time in the spotlight and he no doubt wants to prove his worth. I suspect that with age and experience, these warts will change. But in many cases, at least in Jordan’s and Kobe’s, it took a coach that the star actually respected, for that transformation to occur. Now, I don’t want to speculate, especially on the eve of the playoffs, but while we all may disagree on the cause of the issue, we can agree it’s a problem that needs to be fixed and probably won’t be addressed until the summer. 最後 要来个结论 到底是哈登还是冰箱的错? 如果我们以每个人都该参与进攻的计画为前题来说 昨晚火箭队的表现完全令人无法接受 那到底谁该负责 如果这些进攻是他设计的 冰箱要负比较多的责任 假设教练的指示就是要大胡子自己即兴演出随机应变 那哈登就要负责 但不管是哪个 总该有个解决问题的方法 我们可以赌赌看他们会不会检讨 单打篮球是球队最多的进攻方式是不是怪怪的这件事情 但是就算讨论了 有什麽解决方法吗? 如果问题是冰箱，换掉他就好 如果问题是哈登，他是个明日之星 就像很多球星(kobe, jordan)年轻时候一样 他们需要被克制约束，了解团队的重要性 记得，哈登才23岁 这是他第一次当老大 他会急着证明自己的价值 我在想会随着年龄和经验成长 不过在很多球星的例子中，至少jordan和kobe 他们需要一个令他们钦佩服从的教练 这样的转变才会产生 现在 季後赛要来了 所以我先不想去做多余的猜测找战犯 不管我们认为战犯到底是谁 至少我们都同意这是个很严重的问题 而且短期内不会解决 只能期待夏天了 Whatever happens, this was fun, and despite the ‘bad’, this was still an unforgettable season and one of the most enjoyable in Rockets history, primarily because of the efforts of the two men upon whom I just cast blame above. Bring on the Thunder. 不管发生什麽事情 虽然还是有缺点 这仍然是个有趣而且令人难忘 甚至是火箭队史上最有趣的球季之一 能有如此 这也是要感激我骂了整篇的这两个人 来吧 雷霆!! -- 距离那美克星爆炸只剩三分钟! 我们还有六集可以跑!快跑! by ckshchen --
