"If we keep fighting like this and play with the effort we played with, we'll win a lot of games." 巴爺說，如果每一場都打的和今天一樣，我們隨便打都贏。 Coach Rick Adelman said though the improved play was not enough, it could be a start. Adelman說，雖然進步的還不夠，不過這是個不錯的開始。 "Our team was terrific to come back after (Wednesday) night and play that way," Adelman said. "Sometimes you lose a game and don't see the progress you're making. We made a lot of progress, but we've got to get a win. We've got to find a way to get a win." Brooks takes on Iverson Rockets rookie guard Aaron Brooks had his most extensive and productive stretch of the season on Thursday, scoring eight points in 14 minutes, scoring more than he had in the four games he had played combined. 火箭新秀Aaron Brooks今天打出本季代表作，14分鐘內幹了8分，比過去四場出賽得分 總和還多！ "It felt good," Brooks said. "Once that first basket went down, it felt good, even though it was a weird shot. But just to see the ball go through the net felt good. Coach told me to be comfortable, go out and play your game, and I did. Fortunately, I had a little bit of success and hopefully I can draw on that." 「爽！」Brooks說，「當進了第一球之後，很爽，儘管那是一球虎爛球。不過看到球 進了籃框讓我感覺很好。教練告訴我要舒服的打球，上場打出自己的比賽，而我做到了。 很幸運的，我今天小有成就，希望能保持下去。」 Brooks had the typical problems with Allen Iverson, though on one move, Iverson seemed surprised when Brooks was able to cut him off. The Nuggets quickly cleared out to let Iverson take another run at Brooks and Iverson did draw a foul. But for Brooks, the trial under fire was helpful. "He's a great player, someone I've been watching for a while," Brooks said. "It was good to go out and play him. The first time I was kind of shaking, but it felt kind of good." Flight canceled Rockets guard Steve Francis was scheduled to join the team in Chicago after missing the past two games and the trip to Denver with the flu, but his flight on Friday was canceled. He is expected to be in Chicago in time for the game. 小法本來計畫今天要回到球隊（之前感冒而缺席），不過班機取消而作罷。 Game details: Rockets at Bulls When: 7:30 p.m.; United Center, Chicago.
