At first, I was stumped trying to explain how the Rockets won their summer league opener. That is not normally a good thing. 首先，我覺得有點難去解釋火箭是怎麼贏得夏季聯盟開幕戰的，正常來說，那不是件好事。 They had more turnovers (28) than field goals (24). Their leading scorer, James White, made three shots. They lived at the line, but made just 60.6 percent of their free throws. 他們的失誤(28)比投中數(24)還多，他們得分王是小白，只投進了三顆球。他們常常罰球， 但只有60.6趴的命中率。 They won because they outworked the Warriors, a team with two lottery picks (Stephen Curry and Anthony Randolph) and dominated the boards. That is not particularly exciting for summer league. It would have been better to have White throw down a few slams, or anyone to pour in 3s (the Rockets made just five). But it is already looking like a season in which the Rockets cannot be picky about wins. 他們贏是因為比勇士更努力，但勇士有兩隻樂透球員(Stephen Curry & Anthony Randolph) 而且都還拿到好數據，但那也不會讓人激動，還不如多讓小白爆扣幾顆球比較實在，或是找 個人多噴進幾顆三分(火箭才噴進五顆)。但看來火箭已經沒辦法去挑剔贏球贏的漂不漂亮了 。 Any win is a good win. And the real Rockets will have to win this way sometimes. 任何勝利都是好的。而且真正的火箭有時候也將必須用這種方式去贏球。 Still, it might be nice to see White go off in the second game. 當然啦，如果小白第二場也打的很好肯定是件好事。 ‧ ‧ ‧ In an effort to step in for Tracy McGrady, Jermaine Taylor and James White are off to good starts. 踢妹、泰勒、小白的努力都有好的開始。 Taylor pulled a hamstring and White twice sprained ankles. 泰勒拉傷了腿，小白兩次扭到了腳踝。 Taylor missed the first game of summer league, but could be ready to play Saturday. White only missed on practice, and played on Friday. 泰勒錯過了第一場夏季賽，但禮拜六應該可以打。小白只缺席了練習，禮拜五就上場了。 He looked pretty good. He took just seven shots, making 3. But he was under control for the most part, had 14 points to lead the Rockets and showed an even more solid shooting stroke. This is a huge summer league for him and late in the game, the Rockets gave him some iso opportunities. 他感覺不錯，雖投七只給他中了三，但是狀況都在掌握中，也很強硬的拿了全隊最高的14分 。這次夏季聯盟對他來說是個大機會，火箭甚至在比賽後段給他單打的機會！ It will be good to see Taylor. This summer league needs something to make it more interesting. (Chase Budinger has a chance, too.) There are summer league all stars who can't do anything like that in the real NBA. John Lucas killed here. But it's fun to watch. 泰勒也將有看頭，這次夏季聯賽需要更有趣的事發生。(布丁狗也有機會)在夏季聯賽裡有很 多打的跟神一樣的傢伙卻無法在真正的 NBA裡生存，盧三小就是一個活生生血淋淋的例子… 。但仍然不可錯過它。 ‧ ‧ ‧ While on the subject of McGrady, he has taken his first on-court steps in his rehab. It is, be design, not much, just some light cuts, set shots and free throws. Reports are pretty optimistic, with McGrady's leg strength particularly encouraging. 來談踢妹，他開始了復出的第一步(!)，他被安排做了一些輕微的切入(!!)、原地投籃(!!!) 和罰球(!!!!)，報告顯示很樂觀(!!!!!)，特別是腿部力量的回復(!!!!!!)。 ‧ ‧ ‧ Daryl Morey might be the most popular GM in the gym. He has some mid-level money to spend and a gaping hole in the middle. Any agent that knows the cell phone number of a 7-footer has been chatting up Morey. 莫雷可能是最受歡迎的GM，他有中產可以花，而且內線有個大洞，任何握有七呎大個手機電 話的經紀人都想跟莫雷聊聊。 Morey said again on Friday that he is trying to find a center through a trade. If he is to add a free-agent center, he seems more likely to be a project. 莫雷禮拜五又說了一次，可能會透過交易找中鋒。如果他想抓個自由市場的中鋒，這更有可 能是個計畫。 Posted by Jonathan Feigen at July 10, 2009 08:11 PM --- 有些跟火箭無關的我就不翻了，有錯請指教... --
