Just a few days before the new year, the Utah Jazz stumbled to a 94-80 loss in Minneapolis and for Rodney Hood, the second-year shooting guard, bottom was just about the only thing he could hit. "That was a breaking point for me, I feel like, as a player," Hood recalled this week of his 1-for-13 shooting night in late December. "It was low, just because I think we outplayed them that game, we just couldn’t throw a rock in the ocean. Particularly me." Hood在對灰狼的比賽打出了死屍級表現1-13，球隊也以94-80輸球，他覺得很沮喪 他認為隊伍表現是勝過灰狼的，但是卻落個慘敗 But Hood, who is preparing for a rematch with Minnesota on Friday night, has gone nowhere but up since that late-December meeting. The shooting guard, who this week was named to the All-Star weekend showcase for the league’s top first- and second-year players, has blistered the month of January, averaging 18.4 points, 4 rebounds and 2.5 assists a game. He’s shooting 45 percent from the floor and better than 47 percent from 3-point territory. 但是在再一次對戰灰狼之時，Hood已經脫胎換骨了，在一月Hood平均18.4分4籃板 2.5助攻 而且命中率高得嚇人 Hood and Gordon Hayward have been the Jazz’s go-to players as the team has dealt with injury after injury—and the duo has kept their team within striking distance of playoff position. "Rodney’s production offensively has been huge," Jazz coach Quin Snyder said. But Hood is "such a diligent person and he’s such a perfectionist that he can take a miss too hard," his coach said. 爵士在有傷病時的laoda就是黑娃和Hood 殺人魔覺得Hood非常勤奮而且專注完美，但是他不應該把打鐵看成太嚴重的事 And after missing 12 of 13 attempts that night in Minnesota last month, Hood found himself extremely disheartened before Jazz forward Gordon Hayward grabbed his ear. "We had a long conversation after the game," Hood said. The advice was simple — keep your head up, keep shooting, we need you — but for Snyder it showed Hayward’s maturity and Hood’s growing relationship with the young Jazz leader. It was also, apparently, quite effective. "You know, I told myself I wasn’t going to drop my head anymore this season, regardless if I shot the ball well or not," Hood said. "I was going to be aggressive. My team needs that. They believe in me." 其實在慘痛的113之後，Hood曾經覺得很沮喪，但是真老大Hayward在賽後跟他談了很久 就是叫Hood昂首闊步，給我射，我們需要你射，Hood則表示，經過這樣的鼓勵， 他本季絕對不會再垂頭喪氣了，不管是射得進還是打鐵，我都會積極的狂抽猛射 我們的隊伍需要我射 Comment: 果然是欲當老大 先學打鐵 期待我爵五門齊 倒是Booker不射是殺人魔不給射還是龜縮了... --
