They trailed by more points than at any time in their celebrated winning streak and struggled more, too. 今天這場是火箭連勝六週以來少見的挑戰，在今天之前的比賽中從未落後過這麼多分數。 Their run was in peril but they refused to let it end, driving themselves to a second-half comeback and an 89-80 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Friday night that pushed the Rockets' winning streak to 21 games, the second longest in NBA history. 今天的比賽一度讓火箭的連勝陷入困境，但沒有人願意在今天終止連勝。充滿韌性的火箭在下半場硬是逆轉情勢，最終以89-80戰勝夏洛特山貓，使得連勝記錄來到NBA史上第二長的21連勝。 "This is the greatest thing I've ever been around, just watching the way these guys have responded," Rockets coach Rick Adelman said. "These guys have been so good to be around, the way they have approached their job, the way they handled the streak, not getting too far ahead of themselves, playing hard every night. 「這是我經歷過最偉大的事情了，看看火箭球員們怎麼逆轉的，」Adelman說。「身邊有這些傢伙真是太好了，他們打球的態度，對連勝的心態，他們沒有好高騖遠，每天晚上都如此拼命的打球。」 "To get this streak, we had to really fight these last two games to get it." 「為了繼續連勝下去，最近這兩場我們真的是拼了老命！」 With their latest and perhaps toughest victory, the Rockets moved into Sunday's showdown with the Los Angeles Lakers tied for first place in the Western Conference. 火箭即將帶著最近這艱難的光榮勝利迎接洛杉磯湖人的挑戰，目前兩隊並列西區第一。 But as a prelude to that game, Friday's could hardly have generated more passion as the Rockets clung to their winning streak, finding just enough to keep it alive. 作為湖人之戰的序曲，今天的比賽大大地為火箭注入一股激情，使球隊得以繼續連勝下去。 "This was a game where this team really tested our will," McGrady said. "This was a great test for us to see how mentally strong we really are. We didn't make shots in the first half, but I think in the second half we really came out focused. We knocked down some shots. We tightened up on the defensive end, and we got ourselves going." 「這場比賽真的是好好考驗了我們的意志力，」T-mac說。「這是個很棒的考驗，讓我們看看我們的心有多堅強。上半場大家的投籃都烙賽，但下半場我們真的變得非常專注。我們巴了一些火鍋，用生命死守對方，於是就逆轉情勢了。」 With the Rockets' offense bogged down by waves of missed 3-pointers, McGrady had to play all 48 minutes, scoring 30 points to go with seven rebounds and four assists. Mike Harris played the last 11 minutes, scoring 10 of his 12 points. 隨著火箭在三分線的烙賽，T-mac不得不打滿48分鐘。T-mac得到30分 7籃板和4助攻。 Mike Harris則是在比賽最後11分鐘內得到他12分中的10分。 Dikembe Mutombo had to block consecutive Emeka Okafor dunk attempts to seal the win. 為了贏得比賽，老木更是豁了出去，連續巴了幾球Okafor的灌籃。 "We were more emotional (Friday) for some reason," Mutombo said. "I think about winning 15, and go past it, win 16. We win 19, and 'OK, break another record.' We went to Atlanta, the emotion was high again. We did it. (Friday) we were home and the emotion was high. We were excited, but with a little hesitation. 'Can we do it?' " 「因為一些原因，今天我們比以往還感動，」木桶伯說。「之前我想著15連勝，然後我們做到了，接著來到16連勝。到了連贏19場時，我想著『好！我們來打破紀錄吧！！』接著我們到亞特蘭大作客，又是一場令人慷慨激昂的比賽。今天，我們做到了，我們在主場寫下這光榮的歷史，大家的情緒都非常high。比賽前我們很興奮，但也有點猶豫，『我們真的作的到嗎？』」 They had reason to wonder. The Rockets started quickly and led 17-8 after a McGrady reverse dunk and three-point play. But with 6:40 left in the first quarter, that dunk was their last field goal until a McGrady slam 3 1/2 minutes into the second quarter. 他們懷疑是有原因的。隨著T-mac轉身灌籃的三分打，火箭比賽一開打就以17-8領先。但接著在第一節剩下的6:40內，T-mac的灌籃竟然是他們最後一次的field goal，一直到第二節開打三分半時才靠著T-mac的灌籃再次得分。 "It was amazing," Mutombo said. "You could see our bench in the first quarter when we were behind. I said, 'Do not panic. We have been here before. Just stay focused. We might not make a shot today, we're going to win here because of our defense.' " 「這真是太豪洨了，」木桶伯說。「當我們第一節落後時，看看我們的板凳吧。我說，『別緊張，我們以前也是常常這樣，只要保持專注力就好了。也許我們今天投不進很多球，但我們可是"范禿專業防守訓練學校"教出來的，我們會靠著堅強的防守贏得勝利！』」 The Rockets missed 14 consecutive shots and were outscored 21-1 in that stretch, falling behind by as many as 13 points. But they cut the deficit to seven by halftime, scored the first six points of the second half and finally found their offense. 在那波低潮中，火箭連續投丟了14球，被山貓打出21-1的攻勢，使得火箭落後給山貓13分。但他們在上半場結束時把比數拉近到7分，在下半場一開打又拉出6-0的小高潮，並且終於找回他們的進攻。 The Rockets reeled off eight consecutive baskets, taking a 62-54 lead with 3 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter. 接著火箭連續砍進八球，在第三節終了前3分半鐘時以62-54領先山貓。 The Bobcats answered, and when Gerald Wallace drained a 3 at the third-quarter buzzer, Charlotte was back within two. 山貓也不甘示弱，靠著G蛙在第三節結束時的buzzer beater，追到只落後火箭兩分。 But the Rockets had recovered, scoring well enough to start the fourth quarter with a 13-2 run and holding the Bobcats to 33.3 percent shooting in the final 12 minutes. 但火箭也不是省油的燈，進攻打得很好，在第四節以一波13-2拉開差距，並且讓山貓在最後12分鐘內只有33.3%的命中率。 "That's just the fight in us," Rockets guard Rafer Alston said. "We've been showing that throughout this impressive streak." 「這就是我們的鬥志！」Alston說。「我們在這波令人印象深刻的連勝中一直展現出這點。」 Mostly, they have shown they will find a way to win. 更重要的是，火箭讓大家看到他們就是有辦法贏球。 "I'm glad we did it to 21," Mutombo said. "Hopefully, Sunday we make it 22. 「連贏21場真的很爽，」老木說。「希望我們禮拜天能幹掉湖人拿下22連勝！」 "And my children and grandchildren can read this thing in the record book and say there was a team in Houston with a winning streak more than 20." 「我的子子孫孫們將會在NBA的歷史中看到這段光輝的紀錄，他們可以抬頭挺胸的說，休士頓有支曾經連贏20幾場的超級球隊！」 !!!!火箭魂!!!! -- █ █ ███ █ █ █ ████ ████ ████ ████ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ ████ █ █ █ █ █ █ ██ █████ █ █████ █ █ █ Ｘ Japan THE LAST LIVE ▉▊▋▌▍▎▏ ~嘎抓~ -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.133.25.171
