Rockets lacking energy n defense during skid By the time the Rockets dragged themselves off the floor at halftime Saturday night, Kevin McHale had grown so fed up — or desperate — he might have been tempted to bench everyone in sight. He came close. He benched Jeremy Lin, Chandler Parsons and Patrick Patterson. He watched the Rockets go from bad to spectacularly worse, and so far away from ending their losing streak. As the Rockets crashed to the worst of their seven consecutive losses, falling 92-79 to a smattering of Timberwolves and players picked up hours earlier just to reach the NBA minimum of healthy, available bodies, McHale quickly ran out of players to bench. Playing a Timberwolves team with a five-game losing streak with half its roster tied behind its back by injuries and illness, the Rockets were blown out on their way back to .500. “We’re not playing well at all,” Parsons said. “We’re not playing good offense. We’re not playing good defense. We’re not playing hard enough. I don’t feel like we’re leaving it all out there. Now we’ve lost seven in a row, we can’t get this attitude that everything is OK. We can’t get complacent in losing.” The Rockets matched their fewest points in a game this season and shot worse (making 32.1 percent) than they have in any game. Yet, their scoring was not their greatest problem, or even close. There is no doubt about what now qualifies as the worst performance of the streak, but it would be difficult to pinpoint what was the greatest issue in it. Besides the dreadful shooting, the Rockets played terrible defense with little energy and no poise. Offense stagnates “I think everyone’s trying to do the right thing,” Lin said. “It’s not working for us. Defenses are reading our stuff. We’re not getting the stops and rebounds we need to get.” James Harden, who scored 15 fourth-quarter points in the Rockets’ previous game at Target Center, their only road win in 11 games against Western Conference teams, scored just five second-half points. “I’m not playing to the best of my ability,” said Harden, who has made 15 of 60 shots in the first three games of the Rockets’ road trip. “I’m not making shots. I’m not making plays. We’re in kind of a fog right now. We’ ve been on the road at lot this month. That’s probably one of the reasons. “I don’t think we lost faith. We’re just in no-man’s land. We’re not making plays. We’re not making shots, and that’s affecting us on the defensive end.” About the only thing they did consistently, besides collecting their customary 20 turnovers, was foul needlessly, matching their season high with 29 fouls, most in a desperate panic. The Rockets were so entirely outplayed, Chris Johnson and Mickael Gelabale — two guys signed Saturday morning just to push the Timberwolves past the NBA minimum of eight healthy, available players — outscored the Rockets 23-20 in the fourth quarter. But the Rockets had strayed so far from what worked in their stretch of 10 wins in 12 games before the losing streak, it did not matter who filled in for the other team. As teams have increasingly run at the Rockets’ ball-handlers, movement has become sluggish and sporadic. The Rockets have gotten little going toward the basket, especially with Harden missing on drives the past three games. The Wolves, as with most of the teams that have filled the losing streak, whipped the Rockets off the dribble, doing it with a poor 3-point shooting team and no low-post threats. McHale puzzled When McHale tried his makeshift lineup — “I just wanted to get a little spark, just try something different,” he said. — the Rockets opened the half missing all seven shots with five turnovers in four minutes. “We’re not getting easy baskets anymore,” McHale said. “We’re not running hard. We’re so out of character right now. Turnovers. Guys are open. We’re not hitting them. We’re really in a funk. We have to get ourselves out of it, and we will.” But that never appeared so far away. --- Houston coach Kevin McHale said he hasn't spoken with Royce White in a month. White, the 16th overall pick in the June draft, hasn't been with the Rockets all season and is suspended with the two sides disagreeing on how to deal with White's anxiety disorder and mental health. "I don't spend too much time on the Royce thing," McHale said. McHale: "Right now, we're not playing with any kind of confidence." ---- 在輸給灰狼後,火箭遭遇了七連敗。在今天比賽的下半場,Parsons、林書豪和Patterson 都被教練按在了板凳席上,沒有像往常一樣先發出場。 但是,頂替這三人先發的Delfino、Morris和Beverly卻沒有得到教練的期望,Beverly很 快便被吹罰兩次犯規下場休息,火箭在這段期間的前四分鐘裡7投0中,出現了5次失誤。 賽後,火箭教練McHale表示,他只是想試試不同的陣容,看有沒有什麼好的效果。 Parsons賽後表示自己也不知道為什麼,對於球隊的戰績他非常沮喪:“我們打得一點都 不好,我們沒有打出好的進攻,也沒有打出好的防守,我們也不夠努力。” “現在我們七連敗了,我們不能再有那種一切都還好的態度,我們沒法從輸球的比賽裡得 到滿足。” 在最近三場比賽裡,鬍子的投籃命中率掉到了只有28%。今天輸給灰狼遭遇七連敗後,鬍 子很自責。 “我沒有打出自己的最好表現,投不進球,進攻總是打不成。我們現在稀裡糊塗的,這個 月我們打的客場比賽很多,這可能是原因之一。” “我不認為我們失去了信心,我們正處在一個進退失據情況。完不成進攻、投不進球,這也影 響了我們在防守端的表現。” 在之前客場挑戰灰狼的比賽裡,鬍子第四節砍下15分率隊取勝。但今天,他在下半場只得 到5分,全場比賽18投5中得到18分。 談到Royce,火箭隊教練McHale表示自己已經有一個月的時間沒有和懷特說過話了。 “我沒有花太多時間在Royce的事情上,”McHale說道。 作為火箭隊的16號新秀,身患焦慮症的Royce本賽季還沒有給火箭隊打過球。 在此之前,火箭隊方面還宣佈對Royce進行無限期禁賽。 McHale批評了球隊的表現。他認為,火箭隊員現在打得太沒自信,七連敗後球隊確實有點 恐慌。 “目前,我們沒有帶著信心打球。”McHale說:“大家完全沒有打出自己的特點。” “我們不再能得到簡單的上籃機會,我們沒有努力奔跑,我們現在的表現完全不符合預期 。失誤不斷,球員空位的時候他也投不進,還有多餘的運球。” 火箭現在以21勝21負的戰績位列西部第9,隊員們也有了一些危機感。對此,McHale表示 大家並不用為現狀感到擔憂,只要著手去解決問題就行了。 “我們現在確實有點慌了,我們必須解決這些問題,這是底線,我相信我們能搞定。” http://blog.chron.com/ultimaterockets/2013/01/rockets-lacking-energy-%E2%80%A8on-defense-during-skid/ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.44.71.20

每場輸球必定對外指責球員的教練有資格說球員沒自信嗎?

拿到球傳兩下就投掉,或是靠單挑切入
