New guys lift Wolves to 92-79 win over Rockets (出处：http://ppt.cc/xiPf) MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Chris Johnson arrived in Minnesota on Friday night just hoping to provide a little bit of energy and make a solid impression in his latest effort to catch on with an NBA team. Chris Johnson在周五晚上抵达明尼苏达,希望给球队一个好印象. About 24 hours later, he was hearing chants of ''M-V-P! M-V-P!'' and teaming with another new face to carry the Timberwolves to a much-needed victory. 24小时後,他已经开始听到"MVP!MVP!"的观众呼喊. 并与另一个新面孔一起为灰狼拿下重要的一胜. Chris Johnson and Mickael Gelabale signed 10-day contracts with Minnesota on Saturday morning, then scored the first 23 points of the fourth quarter to lift the Timberwolves to a 92-79 victory over the slumping Houston Rockets on Saturday night. Johnson跟Gelabale星期六早上跟灰狼各签了十天短约---- 然後在星期六晚上,一起得了第四节的前23分,完美地解决了也在连败的火箭. Johnson, signed from Santa Cruz of the NBA Development League, scored 13 of his 15 points in the fourth. Gelabale, a forward who arrived from France on Thursday, had 10 of his 11 points in the final 12 minutes to help the injury-plagued Wolves snap a five-game skid. 从D-League被叫上来的Johnson,狂砍了15分,其中13分是在第四节拿到的. Gelabale,周四才从法国飞来的外援,也怒得11分,其中10分是在第四节拿到的. 灰狼就靠他们一扫五连败的阴霾! ''I don't think I drew it up that way,'' Johnson said with a big smile. "这的确跟我想像中的不太一样"Johnson眉开眼笑地说. Neither did the Rockets, who were caught totally flat-footed by a pair of unknown players who showed more heart and hustle in 12 minutes than the entire Houston team has in about two weeks. 火箭也绝对料想不到,自己被两个对手打工仔的热情与拼劲打得落花流水. James Harden scored 18 points on 5-of-18 shooting for the Rockets, who have lost seven straight games. Houston shot 32 percent and committed 20 turnovers in another lethargic effort that had coach Kevin McHale scrambling to find anybody who could give them some energy. Harden 18投仅5中,得18分.火箭总共命中率32%,而且总共有20次失误 整队疲弱的表现让McHale找不到应对方法. Andrei Kirilenko had 21 points and 11 rebounds, and Luke Ridnour scored 16 points for the Timberwolves, who had lost each of their previous five by double digits and were playing with just nine healthy bodies. AK,21分11篮板,Ridnour拿了16分. They appeared to be running out of gas again when the Rockets closed the third quarter with a 10-2 run to cut Minnesota's lead to 63-59, but that's when Johnson and Gelabale improbably took over. 上半场打得普普通通,到了第三节狼们看似又要气力放尽了. 但打工二人组就在此时开始接管比赛. The super-athletic Johnson gave the weary Wolves the shot of fresh-legged energy they desperately needed when he scored Minnesota's first eight points of period. He threw down a huge alley-oop from Ridnour and was serenaded with tongue-in-cheek chants of ''M-V-P! M-V-P!'' when he knocked down two free throws for a 71-62 lead. 跳跳人Johnson在第四节开头带给了灰狼活力,连得八分,撑住了整个球队, 还跟ridnour来了一次完美的alley-oop,全场开始呐喊"MVP"!! ''I heard it,'' Johnson said sheepishly of the chants. ''I don't agree with it at all. It's just a great fan base. They showed great support tonight.'' "我确实听到了" Johnson羞怯地说. "但我完全不同意呀,这只是fans展现他们支持的最好方式!" Gelabale picked up from there, the French Olympian converting a three-point play during an 11-point scoring binge of his own to hold off the Rockets. Kirilenko's putback with 1:35 to play was the first bucket by someone other than Johnson or Gelabale in the fourth. 接下来是Gelabale,先以一个三分打开始,自己连得了11分,一个人拼过了火箭 AK在比赛剩下1:35时的补篮,是第四节第一次除了打工二人组之外的得分. Getting outplayed and outhustled by two players who weren't in the league on Friday may have been rock bottom for the Rockets. 我们就这样让火箭坠落啦! Wolves owner Glen Taylor waited for coach Terry Porter, who is filling in for Rick Adelman while he tends to his hospitalized wife, to finish his postgame press conference and approached him with an outstretched hand. ''I wanted to come in here and see how you did this,'' Taylor said. ''Smoke and mirrors,'' Porter replied. ''Smoke and mirrors.'' 灰狼老板Glen Taylor问Terry Portor是怎麽办到的? Terry Porter说:"一切都是幻觉阿~~" NOTES: The Wolves were missing C Nikola Pekovic (bruised right quad), F Dante Cunningham (illness), G Alexey Shved (ankle), F Kevin Love (hand), F Chase Budinger (knee), G Brandon Roy (knee), F Josh Howard (knee) and G Malcolm Lee (hip). ... Lin scored 12 points on 3-for-12 shooting. ... Timberwolves F Derrick Williams had 11 points and five rebounds, and Ricky Rubio had seven points and six assists. Note: Peko, DC, Shved, Love, Budinger, Roy, Howard,还有Lee,这场全部都穿着西装 Jeremy Lin 12投3中得12分, DW 11分5篮板, Rubio 7分6助攻. ------------------------------ Notebook: Timberwolves 92, Rockets 79 出处：(http://ppt.cc/7M_h) QUOTABLE: "I would have to go back and look, but I don't recall in my experience having two guys like that come in and step in and putting in the kind of work for us tonight on both ends of the floor. It wasn't just the offensive end, but both of them had tough assignments at the other end. Chris obviously did a great job of protecting the rim and Gelabale doing a great job guarding Harden." -- Acting coach, Terry Porter, on having two guys on 10 day contracts step up big. Quotable: "我努力地回想,但还是想不起自己有过类似的经验---- 看到两个完全的新面孔在第一场比赛就打得如此出色. 而且不只是进攻,Johnson的篮板跟火锅都超棒,Gelabale守Harden也守很好" -- Terry Porter说. GOOD MOVE: To fill out their roster, Minnesota signed two players to 10 day contracts: Johnson, a center, and Gelabale, a forward. Johnson was with Minnesota in training camp and Gelabale was playing in Spain. Good Move: 抓来两只打工仔. BAD MOVE: Minnesota gave Houston free points at the end of both the second quarter and the third quarter. A traveling call and poor defense led to a pair of Harden free throws with 1.6 seconds to play in the second quarter. And a technical foul by Ridnour added one more. And a terrible foul by J.J. Barea gave Toney Douglas another pair of free throws with 0.4 seconds to play in the third quarter. Bad Move: 我们在第二节跟第三节最後都白白送给火箭两分. 第二节先是一个走步,再来一个破防守让Harden直接上罚球线. Luke技术犯规还多送了一分. 第三节Barea先自己投失一球,又做一次糟透了的防守犯规, 让对手在剩0.4秒时罚了两球. NOTABLE: The Wolves started their 12th different lineup tonight. Notable : Luke - Rubio - AK - DW - Stiemsma - 灰狼本季第十二套先发. UP NEXT: Monday @ Atlanta, Wednesday vs. Brooklyn, Friday at Washington. ---------------------------- 总算是拿下了一胜,好险火箭自己打得够糟,不然我们自己实在也没好到哪里去 两个打工的表现太棒了!!就让Rubio好好带领狼群向前冲吧!!
