季前賽籃球本質上就像是“一盒巧克力”(※ Preseason basketball is inherently a '
box of chocolates' exercise.)，所有的都在試驗與適應環境，你絕不會知道每天晚上會
發生什麼。預測體育運動的結果多數時候具有很大的不確定性。
※註：
Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
人生就像一盒巧克力，你永遠不知道下一個吃到的是什麼味道。出自電影《阿甘正傳》。
現在，更進一步，對於火箭隊來說不確定的影響因素要放大十倍。由於球隊有太多新的面孔
與年輕球員，早期看到更多變化應當習以為常。你喜歡無法預知的雲霄飛車嗎？現在這支球
隊應該對你的胃口。
但是，說了這麼多，最重要的是請記住這些天季前賽的表現，並不能等同於常規賽的比賽。
一支球隊用先發的陣容與另一支在演練陣容、球員們在適應環境的球隊比賽，怎麼能具有代
表性？現在，採樣的樣本是如此之小，可以看成是微型的 --當然，現實不能阻止人們的過
度反應。但是，請放心，現在人們大驚小怪的話題，當真正常規賽開始的時候就不會是人們
關心的話題了。
然而，不管你是球迷，新聞工作者，還是NBA籃球運作部門的職員，可能還是無法抵禦的利
用手中的數據進行分析，即使這僅僅是5場比賽的數據。其中一部分原因是由於人類的本性
在於填補空白，利用所知道的東西去預測不知道的。因此，在這裡不用多說，沒有特別的順
序，根據火箭隊5場季前賽的表現，我們能說有5件事情具有不同程度的確定性。星期三晚上
，火箭隊在豐田中心出色地以109-102戰勝灰熊隊：
1.) Omer Asik已經證明是火箭隊不可缺少的球員
Omer Asik may very well prove to be the Rockets' most indispensible player
這樣的話已經在這裡說過幾次了，因此沒有必要過多地重複。顯然，這位26歲的中鋒所能為
球隊帶來的，是球隊中其他球員無法複製的。他的身材、聰明以及令人驚訝的敏捷讓他成為
了籃板球的怪物。如果你是一名籃球新人，Asik可能是球隊中你最喜歡的球員。看看他防守
擋切配合的辦法，他總是試圖擊敗任何人回到籃下，以便能控制籃板。他也能傳球給切入的
隊友，阿西克就是球隊成功不可缺少的球員。
提到這一點，土耳其中鋒在星期三的比賽中遇到了犯規的麻煩，這是他季前賽中的第一次；
他在20分鐘的出場時間裡，得到9分，11個籃板與1次火鍋。火箭隊需要他每場比賽出場至少
30-35分鐘，因此，避免過多犯規將是他首要的任務。不用驚訝的是對手也知道，讓火箭隊
防守脆弱最好的方式就是讓阿西克陷入犯規的麻煩，讓他坐到板凳上。
2.) Kevin Martin又回來了
Kevin Martin (aka Captain Efficiency) is back
忘掉去年，Kevin Martin從訓練營第一天起，就擺脫了上個賽季傷病的困擾，以良好的態度
、健康的身體證明以往所有強大的武器回歸了--甚至還有一些新式的進攻武器─讓他成為了
進攻中高效率的球員，即：在與灰熊隊比賽的多個場合，背對防守人單打成功，展示了他背
對籃筐進攻的能力。這是我們以後能經常看到的Martin嗎？令人懷疑。但是，這已經證明
Martin為自己的進攻增添了新的手段。
星期三的比賽，Martin全場11投8中，砍下22分，包括三分球的5投4中。顯然，他以後不會
保持季前賽前幾場那樣61%的投籃命中率，但是，所有跡象顯示，馬丁已經可以回到兩年前
得分後衛位置上前5名的球員。
值得注意的是：火箭隊的教練員一直在表揚Martin在防守端的努力，儘管這只是季前賽，
但是要想在82場常規賽中延續那樣的表現還有些難度，但是，這是令人鼓舞的現象。
3.) 休賽期間Patrick Patterson在低位的進步不是開玩笑
Patrick Patterson's offseason improvement in the low-post was no joke
甚至回到8月份，他在低位的表現已明顯提高了。但，這僅僅是與一些新秀球員的對抗中看
到的，到目前為止，這位3年級的球員已經提高了籃下的進攻能力。在星期三的比賽中，
Patterson有兩次勾手投籃得分，全場的數據為17分，6個籃板與3次助攻。當然，這只是季
前賽，但是看到Patterson能對抗灰熊隊號稱最好的前鋒線，這當然是好的跡象。
對擋切配合的防守，根據Synergy體育的統計，他讓對手每次進攻平均得到.677分，這是相
當好的成績。上個賽季儘管作為低位的防守者，Patterson有時候有些掙扎，但是在星期三
的比賽中，在低位防守Zach Randolph 的時候有過好的表現，其中有一次蓋掉了Randolph的
投籃，讓隊友打出快攻，最終Martin三分投射得分。
事實上，值得注意的是，火箭隊首發的前鋒構成了2012-13賽季球隊的防守強度，由Asik坐
鎮中間，外加Patterson與Parsons，火箭隊前場在防守端有潛力成為防守好的前場組合。
4.)在所有曾穿過火箭隊服的人當中，Chandler Parsons是最夢幻的白馬王子
Chandler Parsons is the dreamiest dreamboat to ever done a Rockets uniform.
(這段是來亂的，沒有中翻 XDD，我亂翻一下標題，有錯請指正！)
Kidding, kidding. Just wanted to make sure you were still paying attention.
Besides, any tween girl would no doubt breathlessly inform you that it doesn't
take five minutes, much less five games, to determine the veracity of that
statement.
不用五分鐘 (甚至少於五場比賽的時間XD)，Parsons的帥是所有女孩所認同的！
(強烈懷疑作者只是想用這段來搪塞整篇文章沒有提到Parsons個人表現的原因 XD )
(Rapidly) Moving forward to the real No. 4：
讓我們來看看真正的第四點是什麼？ Jeremy Lin登場~~
4.) Jeremy Lin讓隊友能有好的投籃機會
Jeremy Lin is getting his teammates good shots
在星期一與小牛隊的比賽沒有出場之後，本場與灰熊隊的比賽，Lin看起來活力十足，全場
送出了12次助攻，同時為隊友創造了15次以上空位投籃的機會，然而這位24歲的後衛沒有為
自己創造好的得分機會，但是今晚他讓隊友們很好地參與到進攻中。
After sitting out Monday night's game against Dallas, Lin looked refreshed and
rejuvenated against Memphis, piling up 12 assists during an evening when that
number could have easily exceeded 15 for all the wide-open looks he was
generating. No, the 24-year-old point guard's playmaking skills aren't
producing big points for himself just yet, but he's been very consistent (with
Sunday's clunker against San Antonio serving as the lone exception) in terms
of getting his teammates involved and getting them the ball in good positions
to score.
那是可以理解的，Lin自己承認，他仍然處於休賽期膝蓋手術的恢復中,他的爆發力還沒有達
到手術前的水準，這當然會影響到他自己的得分，尤其是依靠運球突破到籃下的得分。但是
，在防守中穿梭，吸引防守者與傳球給隊友方面沒有問題。因此，只要他能繼續這樣的表現
，火箭隊很高興也會有耐心等待他的的爆發，等待他找回得分的狀態。
And that makes sense, too. By his own admission, Lin isn't yet operating at
peak physical capacity following offseason knee surgery. His burst and
explosiveness are not all the way back yet. It stands to reason the lack
thereof would adversely affect his scoring more than anything, especially since
so much of his own personal point production tends to come from beating his man
off the dribble on those fearless forays to the hoop that became such a staple
of his game during his rise to stardom. But he's had no such issues weaving
through defenses, drawing defenders and kicking to open teammates. So long as
that continues, the Rockets will happily and patiently wait for his burst, and
subsequent scoring punch, to return.
以下就顯示出火箭隊的耐心：有趣的是聽到Kevin McHale與Chandler Parsons他們鼓勵Lin
，並且為他減輕壓力。McHale說，幾天以前他與Lin進行了坦誠(heart-to-heart)的交談，
告訴他帶著攻擊性的心態，打快節奏的籃球。
A postscript to the point about the Rockets' patience: It was interesting to
hear both Kevin McHale and Chandler Parsons mention that they have recently
taken the time to encourage and implore Lin to put aside any pressure, fear or
doubt he may harbor and simply play with unbridled aggression and confidence.
McHale said he had a heart-to-heart with Lin the other day during which he
conveyed the message to play fast and with an attacking mentality.
星期三比賽的第一節，Parsons把Lin拉到一邊，告訴他隊友們對他的信任，“在第一次暫停
的時候，我告訴他‘Jeremy，不要強迫自己，不要給自己壓力--只是打籃球，就像你一直做
的那樣，不要有壓力，不要在意，你不是在紐約打球，輕鬆地去打球，好的事情自然就發生
了。’”
Parsons, meanwhile, actually took the young point guard aside during the first
quarter of Wednesday's game to reinforce the message that Lin has the total
faith of his teammates. “It's just our job to stay in his ear, stay positive
to him,” said Parsons after the game. “I talked to him during the first
timeout: 'Jeremy, stop forcing it, stop stressing – just play basketball. You
’ve been doing this your whole life. There's no pressure. No one cares. You'
re not in New York. Just play ball. We're here for you. Make the easy play and
good things will happen.
“在下半場，他真的慢了下來，很好地分配球，讓我們得到很多上籃的機會。那就是我們需
要的打球方式，那就是他在進攻端領導球隊的方式，那樣的方式幫助球隊獲勝。”
“In the second half he really slowed down. He distributed well. He looks up
the floor and gets us easy buckets a lot. That's the way he needs to play. It's
not about points. It's not about anything like that. It's just how he can lead
our team on the offensive end and it's about us winning and the way he played
tonight helped us win.”
5.) 火箭隊的輪換陣容成為了焦點，但是，構圖還不是很清晰。
The Rockets' rotation is coming into focus, but the picture isn't quite clear
yet
在星期三比賽前，Kevin McHale提到，他對6名球員的表現感到滿意，但是，在那之後還是
有點麻煩。在輪換陣容中的第6人可能是Carlos Delfino，在與灰熊隊的比賽中，看起來他
當然是，他在三分線外5投3中，得到了14分，4個籃板與3次助攻。同時，Toney Douglas似
乎在替補控球後衛的位置上有一席之地，他替補出場，得到了13分。
然而，其他的輪換球員看起來有些難以確定。考慮到火箭隊想在48分鐘的時間裡都打快節奏
的籃球，當然需要9-10名的輪換球員。這一點是在星期三的比賽後，主教練麥克海爾說的。
那就意味著還要上場的球員會從 Terrence Jones, Jeremy Lamb, Donatas Motiejunas,
Marcus Morris 和 Royce White 當中產生。
這支團隊的共同點是什麼？沒有經驗。你知道沒有經驗的球員每天晚上會是什麼樣的？這是
對的：一盒巧克力。不管你是否準備好，McHale與他的教練組不得不深入其中，並找到更多
的答案。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES AND QUOTES
(以下是訪談節錄，僅摘錄有關Lin的部分)
KEVIN MCHALE
(on Jeremy Lin)
He played well. I think Jeremy pressed a little bit. As much as he tells you
guys he's 100 percent healthy, he's not 100 percent there yet. We had a long
talk the other day and I told him to,‘Go play. Play fast. Get up and down the
floor. Attack. Be aggressive. If you get too aggressive, believe me, I'll tell
you. Just go.’
He was better today. I said another thing: Don't worry about who you're
passing it to. He was wondering, ‘Can we get Kevin shots?’ The way our
offense is set up, the shots are going to flow. Kevin will get his shots. I
told Jeremy to just hit the open man; just drive and hit the first open guy you
see and let him make the next play. When we get bad offensively, everybody
dribbles the ball once or twice and is looking for something specific.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is just move and cut and pass and just try
to create some space.
參考新聞：
http://sports.sohu.com/20121018/n355152887.shtml
麥克海爾稱讚了林書豪的表現，透露前天的談話起到了作用。「我覺得，今晚林書豪表現非
常強勁，配合讓我們輕鬆得分，而且將速度提了上來，他還不是百分之百健康。」麥克海爾
說，「我前天與他談了挺長時間，他當時問我，是不是要多給凱文-馬丁多製造機會呢？我
說，不要考慮那麼多，你先突起來，然後將球傳給在空位上的下一個人，讓進攻流暢起來，
自然而然凱文也能得到空位機會。最好進攻是，每個人都傳球、空切，為其他人製造空擋。
」
(Lin真的想很多耶~ 但是騙人丁真的很會得分啊~~~)
JEREMY LIN
(On what the Rockets did well) “I think today was a good team effort in terms
of running and spreading out and playing fast and free flowing.”
(On the Rockets slow start in the 1st quarter)“I think that's one of those
things where we need to come out with a little more energy, especially me. It
starts with me and pushing the ball and being aggressive early on. We didn't do
a great job of that but I'm glad we recovered and tried to make it closer of a
game.”
第一節全隊表現不是很好，但後來就改善很多了。
(about his conversation with Coach McHale from a few days ago):
Yeah, it helped me a lot. Coach is a great person and so he was very honest
with me. He just told me,‘Be yourself. Go out, have fun, play basketball. We
don't want to put limitations on you.’ But in terms of being aggressive and
giving me the confidence I needed it was great.
可參考這篇新聞:
http://sports.sohu.com/20121018/n355151430.shtml
對於今晚的勝利，林書豪歸功於全隊。「這是全隊的努力，打得非常快，快攻很多。」林書
豪說，「我們在場上有能量，必須將球快起來，從一開始就衝起來。」
儘管還沒有完全恢復，但是林書豪已經感覺自己在向正確的方向發展。「是正確的方向，我
感覺越來越好，向著正確的方向發展。我們接下來一周沒有比賽，可以好好訓練，學習一些
新的內容。」林書豪說，「心態更重要，在場上感覺更加舒服。我沒有太大改變，變得更有
侵略性，努力打好球，做出決定。」
林書豪透露，教練麥克海爾兩天前與他的談話，對自己提升很多。「兩天前的談話，讓我
幫助很大，教練人很好，實話實說，他只是告訴我，做你自己，在場上去打比賽，好好享
受快樂。」林書豪說，「他告訴我，他不想對我有什麼太多限制，不想加太多東西在我身
上。但是在加強侵略性方面，他還是給了自信，讓我衝起來。」
(on Kevin Martin)
He had it going, but it's also my job to foster and facilitate that process,
so we’ve been talking. He’s an incredible scorer. Sometimes you just have to
give him the ball and get out of his way and other times you have to get him
open and get him some quick, easy looks.
稱讚騙人丁。
------------------------------------
Parsons在第一節時對Lin的鼓勵讓我想起，之前對76人時JJ也做過同樣的事。
有時候教練的關懷與隊友適時的鼓勵，真的可以給Lin帶來能量。
接下來沒有比賽的一週訓練，希望手感快點回來吧！
