大意翻一下由於我的英文小洞不斷，請大家指正囉 It’s 7:07 A.M. right now at the time of writing. I’ve had a little over six hours now to digest last night’s loss. I’ve calmed down a bit and am glad I stepped away when I did. Had I not, I would have certainly written things I’d later regret – things fueled by pure, unadulterated anger. As I said last night, I was livid. In fact, I don’t think I can even recall the last time I’ve been so upset during and after a Houston Rockets game. 現在是凌晨七點鐘，寫了文章頭有點痛經過六個小時候我稍微冷靜一點了如果我沒稍微冷靜一點寫出來的文字連我自己都害怕啊~~~~~ 我會變成一個不成熟的憤怒者 The unfortunate part is that this should be a time for celebration. The team will be playing its first playoff game since 2009, and its first playoff game in Red94′s existence. Instead, all I feel right now is anger: anger over the way the team completely choked at the end, for the second year in a row, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, and bumbling away a golden chance to face a hobbled Spurs team against whom some felt they can beat. Instead, they will now open at Oklahoma City, the expected Western Conference champion. 這段時間本來該是值得慶祝的火箭從2009年後再次進入季後賽不過我一點都高興不起來我超不爽最後這幾場比賽真的超令人不爽白白浪費能夠對上馬刺的大好機會.........稍微有可能突破第一輪的選擇現在勒要對上雷霆 Last night’s meltdown started and ended in predictable fashion in the same manner in which we’ve seen far too many losses this season. The Rockets began the 4th with another one of Kevin McHale’s patented smallball lineups, one that saw journeyman Carlos Delfino guarding the 7-foot Pau Gasol. Both Jeremy Lin and James Harden sat on the bench–a predicament which by any evaluative measure, either statistical or observational, should absolutely never occur yet for some baffling reason continues to with unacceptable frequency–and things played out as expected. The Lakers, with the size advantage, gained momentum and then never looked back. That’s really all it takes in the NBA. One lineup error for a one-minute stretch and the game turns. I had written all along, through the first three quarters, that while Houston was leading, one just didn’t feel comfortable. Things got much worse, though. 昨天晚上的失敗，不意外這樣的劇本本季已經發生好多次了又一次的，火箭隊又失去了他們的勝利感謝飛天小冰箱第四節開場又放上小球戰術後宮甄環德妃對上七呎的娘娘然後哈林同時在板凳上不管你是印象派大師還是數據派的都不該做出這樣的決定，太不合理了湖人隊就靠著身高優勢搶到了領先，然後一去不復還這在NBA很常見一分鐘錯，滿盤皆輸我累了我已經寫了好多好多場神奇寶貝的劇本火箭隊先囂張威武了前3/4時間然後最後就好討厭的感覺.............. 而且看起來更糟糕了 The starters were brought back in and what ensued over the next several minutes, spanning from the latter half of the 4th quarter through overtime, was what I described last night, in the moment, as a complete and utter disgrace. Now let’s take a quick moment to step back for some perspective: the Rockets choking in the clutch is nothing new. In fact, I wrote about it just the other day. Their league-leading offense shrinks to one of the worst in basketball in late-game situations. So this is a problem you saw coming. Why it became so tough to stomach was because of the stakes and the stage, and a duration which felt like an eternity. 在第四節的後半段和延長賽先發的表現又回到了那個鳥樣，像我前一篇文章說的一樣現在我們來快速的看一下火箭這個沒任何新意的爛調度事實上，我才剛寫完一篇這樣的東西啊!!!!!!!! 又要再一篇了一個聯盟最強之矛的球隊在最後階段表現得像樂透區球隊一樣 As is pretty much the case anytime the Rockets are involved in a close game in the 4th quarter, the team completely abandoned its pick&roll offense, resorting to the dreaded “hero-ball spread.” For those who have been living in a cave, (or don’t have CSN), this is a set where, essentially James Harden holds the ball at the top of the key while the other 4 players spread out of the way. Harden then dribbles the ball for about 20 seconds and chucks up some variation of a contested jumper, whether it be from straightaway ’3′ or of the stepback variety within 2 point range. 恩在最近幾場的比賽中一到了第四節火箭隊就完全放棄了擋切戰術改選用了英(球)雄(給)籃(哈)球(登) 哈登拿著球，其他人全都清開哈登先拿著球玩了20秒然後進行了一些很糟糕的跳投這其中的一點點差別只在於這球是三分還是兩分 The offense completely sputtered, LA capitalized at the other end and maintained the lead. Chandler Parsons then hit perhaps the flattest 3 point shot in the history of basketball, everyone on Twitter erupted, and the game went to overtime. 進攻完全解開放印的湖人隊取得了領先還好要加薪的高富帥丟了一顆超級平射砲射得推特上每個人都在尖叫才得以進入延長賽 The Rockets then started out overtime, in creative fashion, running a few isolation sets for Parsons. Those of course didn’t end well. Harden started hogging again, got blocked a few times and the game ended. See you in Oklahoma on TBD at TBD. 延長賽火箭隊有了一點點的創意...........改換高富帥單打不過都沒得分既然創新不行，火箭隊又回到了老樣哈登又開始了然後連續被擋下好幾次，比賽結束好吧在不確定是某時某地的雷霆之戰我們再看看吧 A few thoughts which may or may not end completely off topic: Who is to blame: Harden or McHale? First, Harden. Actually, scratch that. Let’s say the good first: 到底是哈登還是冰箱的責任呢? 在討論到底是哈登還是冰箱的責任前我們可以先來討論一下優點 Omer Asik had one of his best games of the season, completely shutting down Dwight Howard in the first half. Jeff Van Gundy remarked numerous times in the first quarter, “I don’t understand why they’re doubling Howard against Asik. His (Omer’s) defense is better than Howard’s offense.” I didn’t understand McHale’s reasoning either. Of course, the double teams led to numerous open 3′s in the first quarter, shots which enabled the Lakers to stay in the game at that point. In any event, Asik sealed off the paint and converted numerous other times offensively with violent slams. Chandler Parsons really seems to play his best on national television. Now, the bad: 阿西打出了本季最好的表現完全讓魔獸無法發揮 Jeff Van Gundy在第一節講了同樣的話好幾次 "我不知道他們幹嘛double魔獸" "阿西的防守遠勝於魔獸的進攻" 我也不懂冰箱的理由這個double戰術讓三分射爽爽阿西封鎖了禁區不讓攻擊轉換輕易得逞高富帥則是在這場全美轉播的比賽中完全了表現出他有多帥好了優點講完了講缺點 This was Harden’s worst game of the year. 30 points on 25 shots. Going vigilante on offense (unless that was the call from the bench; more on this later.) Bitching at teammates for his own mistakes. Interestingly, viewing the fan reaction on Twitter and other venues, you can kind of sense the end of the honeymoon for the faithful with Harden. Now in no means am I implying that he isn’t adored. Unless J.J Watt were also running, Harden would win any mayoral contest here – he’s basically put the Rockets back on the map and given this city hope it hasn’t had in years. What I mean though is that, we’ve entered that phase where, after the honeymoon, while you still deeply adore your significant other, you no longer view them as The Second Coming. You start to see the flaws and realize you’re going to have to cope with them. That’s becoming the case with Harden. His abysmal defense has already been extensively documented. Now it’s the late game hero-call spontaneity and the bitching at teammates. 這是哈登今年最爛的比賽出手25次只拿了三十分在進攻上自己自作主張亂打 (除非這個行為是教練的指示) 因為自己的錯誤抱怨隊友.......... 有趣的是，看看推特和其他粉絲頁上球迷的反應球迷們和哈登的蜜月期結束了，開始回到現實我不是在說哈登不值得我們尊敬他這季的表現夠格領得休士頓市長獎他把火箭隊又帶入了競爭集團重新成為季後賽球隊這已經好幾年沒發生了 I noted several times last night where Harden, after throwing an errant pass to Asik, which Asik predictably failed to reel in, barked at the Turk on the way back down. This is something I’ve seen many other times over the course of this season. I quipped on Twitter that this is quickly becoming an abusive relationship as Asik just turns, puts his head down and meekly runs back to the other side of the court. The irony here is that for all of the times Asik has covered for Harden on the defensive end, you’d think he’d have boughten him a Rolex by now or something. 昨晚我發現發生了好多次哈登亂傳給阿西，球沒了哈登在回防的時候一邊跑一邊朝著阿西碎念本季我已經看過了很多次這樣的情況了我在推特上打趣的說阿西很快的會變成M傾向，一個受虐狂頭低低然後跑向球場的另一端去防守更諷刺的是阿西客在防守上幫哈登了補了很多網所以你會想著哈登可能是送了阿西勞力士錶或著其他的才讓阿西這樣做 Sidenote: A friend and I have a theory that the only way to stop the abuse is to nip it in the bud from the get-go. Did you ever have that fat friend in childhood who never said anything when everyone picked on him and made fat jokes? What happens is that after the initial taunts are not met with rebuke, it becomes ingrained in the public gestalt that such ridicule is acceptable. This then perpetuates the abuse. Same thing in sports. You’ll often see that teams are quick to heap blame on one particular whipping boy, even when unjustified, simply because they’ve let it be known that they’ll allow it. 額外想法: 我和我朋友有個理論要阻止一個錯誤的行為最好的方法就是在這行為剛開始的時候就去阻止他你小時候有沒有一個很可憐的胖朋友他什麼都沒說，人家就會主動跑去嘲笑他 ............. 翻一翻發現沒什麼關聯性就是作者認為不能讓這情況習以為常 McHale: I wrote this summer, in my evaluation of his performance last season, that Kevin McHale deserved a C+. What was an ‘A’ for his handling of such a young team was brought down to a ‘C’ for his role in one of the greatest meltdowns in franchise history. That same can be said for this season though not to the same degree as this loss is in no way comparable to a 6 game late season losing streak. It’s simple, and Jeff Van Gundy has said it himself. When a team gets blown out, its on the players. When they lose close games, especially in the exact same manner every time, that’s on the coaching. Whether ISOball is the call from the bench or Harden is going off cue is a subject for later debate, but there is simply no justification for some of the completely unimaginative plays the Rockets have run out of timeouts. Throw a wrinkle in here and there. Instead of 4 guys watching Harden, how about 3 guys watching Harden while one guy bends over to tie his shoes! I don ’t know…do something to vary it up. There is literally no excuse for the game to end last night, on a critical possession, with Jeremy Lin chucking a desperation 3 pointer after James Harden dribbled away 20 seconds from the shot clock. None. 冰箱的評價: 我這季暑假就已經寫好了這篇了根據上季的表現我給他的評價是C+ 本來該給他A的因為他能帶領這年輕的球隊打成這樣可是我給他C 因為他也讓球隊經歷了史上最大崩盤所以同樣的雖然沒危害到那種程度可是一樣是很慘的季末六連敗冰箱要負責任，這很簡單的，就像 Jeff Van Gundy說的當球隊一面倒，球員要負最大的責任可是當他們表現得勢均力敵結果輸掉了而且每一次輸掉的方式都一樣這就是教練的錯不管球給哈登的戰術是哈登自己的決定還是教練的決定都一樣這點我們晚點在討論我們先討論很淺而易見的問題為什麼一個完整的暫停過後還不能打出一個合理的戰術? 三個人看著哈登一個人看著自己的鞋子綁鞋帶..........冏這在幹嘛....我看不懂，能想辦法改變嗎? 昨晚的比賽沒有任何藉口像其中有一球哈登先運球玩了二十秒然後把炸彈丟給了林書豪........ 迫於無奈，林書豪只好勉強出手 (這球很印象深刻.....= =a ) Finally, it begs the transcendental debate: is it Harden or McHale? If we build from the premise–regarding which everyone should be in agreement–that the Rockets’ late-game offensive schemes are completely unacceptable, upon whom should the fault be placed? There are those who put it on McHale, believing that the total abandonment of the team’s actual offense is by design. And then there are those put it on Harden, assuming that The Beard is ad libbing off cue against his coach’s instructions. Either way, there’ s going to have to be a solution and you can bet it will be discussed: the superiority of team offense over conventional crunchtime ISOball is almost axiomatic in the stat-geek community. But what’s the solution? If McHale is the problem, you just replace him. But if it’s Harden, there’s hope too: numerous other young superstars, from Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, had to be reined in and made to understand the importance of trusting the scheme and trusting their teammates. Remember: James is just 23. This is his first time in the spotlight and he no doubt wants to prove his worth. I suspect that with age and experience, these warts will change. But in many cases, at least in Jordan’s and Kobe’s, it took a coach that the star actually respected, for that transformation to occur. Now, I don’t want to speculate, especially on the eve of the playoffs, but while we all may disagree on the cause of the issue, we can agree it’s a problem that needs to be fixed and probably won’t be addressed until the summer. 最後要來個結論到底是哈登還是冰箱的錯? 如果我們以每個人都該參與進攻的計畫為前題來說昨晚火箭隊的表現完全令人無法接受那到底誰該負責如果這些進攻是他設計的冰箱要負比較多的責任假設教練的指示就是要大鬍子自己即興演出隨機應變那哈登就要負責但不管是哪個總該有個解決問題的方法我們可以賭賭看他們會不會檢討單打籃球是球隊最多的進攻方式是不是怪怪的這件事情但是就算討論了有什麼解決方法嗎? 如果問題是冰箱，換掉他就好如果問題是哈登，他是個明日之星就像很多球星(kobe, jordan)年輕時候一樣他們需要被克制約束，了解團隊的重要性記得，哈登才23歲這是他第一次當老大他會急著證明自己的價值我在想會隨著年齡和經驗成長不過在很多球星的例子中，至少jordan和kobe 他們需要一個令他們欽佩服從的教練這樣的轉變才會產生現在季後賽要來了所以我先不想去做多餘的猜測找戰犯不管我們認為戰犯到底是誰至少我們都同意這是個很嚴重的問題而且短期內不會解決只能期待夏天了 Whatever happens, this was fun, and despite the ‘bad’, this was still an unforgettable season and one of the most enjoyable in Rockets history, primarily because of the efforts of the two men upon whom I just cast blame above. Bring on the Thunder. 不管發生什麼事情雖然還是有缺點這仍然是個有趣而且令人難忘甚至是火箭隊史上最有趣的球季之一能有如此這也是要感激我罵了整篇的這兩個人來吧雷霆!! -- 距離那美克星爆炸只剩三分鐘! 我們還有六集可以跑!快跑! by ckshchen -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 1.171.121.196 ※ 編輯: ckshchen 來自: 1.171.121.196 (04/19 02:56)
