文章來源： http://ppt.cc/Ou1Q The New York Times, By JIM CAVAN The Rockets Catch Fire 火箭正夯 It was one year ago this week that a little-known Taiwanese-American point guard from Harvard became a global superstar. 就在一年前的這週，一位鮮為人知，來自哈佛的台裔美籍控衛成為了席捲全球的球的超級明星 Jeremy Lin may never again grace all the magazine covers and highlight reels that marked his run with the Knicks last season, but that has not stopped his new team from becoming one of the N.B.A.’s most exciting young squads, thanks in large part to Lin. Jeremy Lin也許再不會重現上賽季的Linsanity，是所有媒體雜誌的焦點即使如此，他所在的新球隊，仍是全NBA中最使人期待的年輕隊伍之一當然其中有很大的部份的原因是Lin Among the Rockets’ accomplishments: a streak of seven games scoring 100 or more points; a league-high 140 points and 23 3-pointers in a singlenight (both of which in regulation in Tuesday’s win over the Warriors); a ranking of sixth in the league in offensive efficiency (106.1), second in 3s made per game (10.3), fourth in effective field-goal percentage (52.1 percent) and first in pace (98.8). 關於火箭隊的成績：連續七場得分破百，在一場比賽得到聯盟中新高的140分，以及投進23個三分球（這兩項成績都是在本週二對上勇士隊產生的）攻擊效率排名聯盟第六，三分球進球數第二名， FG%第四名，並且有著全聯盟最快的節奏 It’s a recipe that has landed the Rockets in eighth place in the WesternConference, one game ahead of the similarly young Trail Blazers and four games ahead of the fast-fracturing Los Angeles Lakers. Although a playoff spot is far from secure, the Rockets are one team that has managed to outstrip preseason expectations. 這些要素讓火箭目前可以排名西區第八，以一場勝差領先同樣是年輕球隊的拓荒者，以及四場勝差領先湖人即使目前還是不能說穩進季後賽但已超越了本賽季大家對他們的預期了 After the team acquired James Harden in a multiplayer sign-and-trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder, many wondered whether the Rockets’ shiny new backcourt could effectively mesh; both Lin and Harden were known to be ball-dominant guards who thrived best in high pick-and-roll situations. How, then, might the new coach Kevin McHale manage the new-look Rockets? 在火箭隊交易來哈登後，許多人都在好奇，林和哈登這兩位閃亮的後場該怎麼有效的磨合。林和哈登都是需要球權來達到高效 P & R 的後衛而教練Kevin McHale該如何，或者是他是否能夠帶領火箭這群菜鳥球員？ Despite some early struggles, by Jan. 1 the Harden-Lin tandem was registering a plus-minus of 3.0 while sharing the court – respectable, if not exactly incendiary. During the team’s seven consecutive 100-point games, however, that number has mushroomed to 15.2., according to NBA.com. 儘管賽季初期打的掙扎，在一月一號後，哈登和林開始分享球，互相重視對方因此兩人＋-值合計為3.0 而在連續七場得分超過一百分的比賽，+-更誇張的攀升到15.2 In that stretch, the Rockets have connected on 44 percent of their 3-point attempts, compared with 35 percent before Jan. 24, the day before the team’s latest scoring tear began. Furthermore, NBA.com’s metrics show numerous Harden-Lin lineups registering solid-to-outstanding plus-minus numbers. The most common unit over the last couple of weeks – Lin, Harden, Omer Asik, Patrick Patterson and Chandler Parsons – has had a 3-point clip of 46 percent and shot 55 percent on field goals over all while registering a plus-minus of 17. 在那段期間，火箭隊的3PT FG%已到達44%，而在1/24前只有35% 另外，NBA.com的分析數據明確顯示，哈登和林有多麼驚人的+-值過去幾周最常見的組合為: 林，哈登，阿西, PPT以及Parsons 這樣的組合帶來了3PT FG% 46% 以及 FG% 55%以及+-值17 What’s more, Harden and Lin have seen their own numbers improve, especially Lin’s: 15.9 points, 7 assists and 2.3 steals with 50 percent shooting (including 48 percent from behind the arc). Harden has remained blistering, tallying 25.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.9 steals with 52 percent shooting (and 50 percent from 3). 更值的提的是，哈登和林的數據看起來都提升了，特別是林。 15.9分，7助攻以及2.3抄截，以及FG% 50% (包含3PT FG% 48%) 哈登當然還是同樣優異， 25.7 分， 5.7 籃板, 6.7 助攻 1.9抄截並且FG% 52%, 3PT FG% 50% Of course, a seven-game sample size does not a season make. Still, Houston’s play – and that of its star guards in particular – is made only more compelling by the team’s prospects. 當然，短短的七場比賽不足以代表整個賽季，不過火箭隊，特別是先發後衛，使得這個球隊更加引人注意 After years of middling success, General Manager Daryl Morey has constructed a roster that is high on upside as well as financially flexible. With the exception of Harden (signed through the 2018 season), Houston has no contractual commitments beyond 2015. With just over $39 million slated for next season, it will have more than enough room to reel in a near-max free agent – if the Rockets so choose. 經過許多年的不上不下後，莫雷建構隊伍是找尋有潛力的球員，且保持薪資彈性除了哈登之外（合約至2018年），沒有任何一張合約超過2015年下賽季的薪資也約為超過三千九百萬美金，如果火箭隊想要的話，也可以有足夠的空間簽下一位頂薪的自由球員 Houston’s cap gets a little tricky in 2014 when a pair of so-called poison pills – Lin and Asik’s respective $15 million third years – are scheduled to kick in. But even that supposed stumbling block has caveats: assuming improvement, both players may end up approximating – if not fully realizing – those values. Even if they do not, both contracts will most likely remain, for slightly different reasons, eminently tradable: Lin’s because of his global appeal and Asik’s because of his timelessly valuable skills as an agile defending and rebounding center. 火箭隊的薪資空間在2014年會比較麻煩一些，因為林和阿西的毒藥合約將會生效，在第三年來到1500萬美金假使他們持續進步，這就值得了但若不是如此，這兩張合約還是有其不同的價值在純粹就交易價值來說，林有全球市場而阿西是他無可替代的籃板技巧 Coupled with the steady growth of Parsons, a second-year forward, and a bench that potentially has plenty of talent, the Harden-Lin Rockets are set up nicely for the future. A few more weeks of lights-out offensive production, however, and the rest of the league may wonder – with more than a little worry – whether that future is now. Parsons這位二年級生持續穩定成長，還有許多有天分的板凳哈登和林為火箭準備了美好的未來。若是在幾週又重現這驚人的進攻效率，聯盟其他的球隊也許會疑惑並且擔心：會不會未來的事情其實已經發生了 ************************************************************** 這篇和寫法比較不一樣的是，認為火箭目前的成功是因為充滿潛力的閃亮雙衛下面幾位鄉民的留言寫的蠻好的～所以重點在下面（誤） ************************************************************** calvino (New Jersey) After all of the frenzy that surrounded Lin's departure from New York, It's nice to see that the situation worked well for both parties. The Knicks have turned themselves into an immediate championship contender with a team stacked with savvy vets. The flip side is that Jeremy Lin landed with an exciting, dynamic young team that has a very bright future. The Knicks and Rockets are now my two favorite teams to watch in the NBA, for very different reasons. 在Linsanity隨著Lin遠離紐約後，目前的狀況對雙方都好。尼克成了立即能爭冠的隊伍，而林身處於充滿動能的年輕球隊，有著美好的未來。因為不同的理由，尼克和和火箭現在是我最喜歡的兩隻球隊。 (OS: 當初就是因為這篇決定要翻留言的～寫的很好) Know Nothings (NYC) I REALLY want to wear my red #7 Lin Rocket shirt to the game when the Rockets eliminate the Knicks in the playoffs. Since they are in different divisions, guess which game that would have to be... I'm praying for the opportunity. 我好想穿上我的 #7 Lin 火箭球衣去看火箭在季後賽打敗尼克因為他們再不同的分區，所以不太可能我只能祈禱有這樣的機會 fonda2008 (DC) If Lin keeps up with his talent in burning former teams that overlooked or gave up on him, your wishes may very well come true. （這篇是回上篇的）如果林持續提升他的天分，並且一直打前隊伍以及看不起他的人的臉你的希望可以成真的 Jennifer from NY It is fun to watch the young Rockets playing a fast paced team game. Lots of upside for sure...wish them success. 看菜鳥火箭球隊的快節奏團隊籃球很有趣。高潮起伏，希望他們能成功。 falth (New York) Very nice and fair article. Houston Rockets is truly an exciting team to watch now even if they don't have many superstars. Harden is a great scorer and Lin is a very inspiring player. If both of them can show their best, they will develop into a very challeging team.they also have Parsons, PPT... But I really don't like the coach who didn't give credits and trust to players a lot. They need to trust players and gave them encouragement when they have problems. 非常棒且公允的文章。火箭隊現在真的是個讓人期待的球隊，即使他們並沒有超級球星。哈登是很好的得分手，林則是個非常激勵人心的球員。如果兩人都可以展現出他們最佳的一面，他們將會是很有競爭力的隊伍。同時還有Parsons, PPT等。不過我真不喜歡那位教練，他老是不相信且吝於讚美球員。當球員遇到困難時，他必需相信球員並且鼓勵他們。（看看～不是只有我們在說教練的問題吧） easi-leeWest (Orange) Parsons is the key here. Harden was a known quantity. Linsanity is reality. Chandler Parsons was a good player in college, but I didn't think he would be this good in the NBA. Parsons是關鍵。哈登已是眾索皆知的棒。而Linsanity也是真貨。 Parsons在大學是很棒的球員，但我覺的他在NBA無法打的同樣出色（OS: 小帥哥今天對勇士算是打臉了～小帥哥明明就很棒阿~ 你看火箭隊沒人可以當他替補：因為臉也要一起替補） Back to Basics Rob New York Now imagine Carmelo Anthony on Houston and Jeremy Lin and Chandler Parsons on the Knicks, with McHale coaching the Knicks and Woodson coaching the Rockets. The Rockets would tank as Anthony diminished the team. The Knicks ? Knowledgeable and experienced followers of the NBA can dream, can't we ? It's better than watching Anthony consistently take a lot of rushed, poor shots every game. 想像一下甜瓜在火箭，林和Parsons在尼克。伍僧執教火箭隊而海爾是執教尼克而尼克會變得怎樣？我們這些老球迷們可以有夢想了，不是嘛？（這篇有點批評前隊友，我就只翻林的部份不過為啥只要林和Parsons, 是因為他們是好友嗎 ^^; 別忘了功夫打氣法有哈登阿然後如果冰箱來紐約，應該會被媒體的壓力逼的很慘～嘿！） -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 119.14.81.244
