They helped the Rockets bounce back from the same deficit to beat the Phoenix Suns in seven games in the Western Conference semifinals in 1995 en route to an NBA title. 教練Kevin McHale讓Mario Elie和Hakeem Olajuwon 與球隊討論如何準備星期三的第五戰他們曾幫助火箭在西區半決賽在相同劣勢下捲土重來最後在第七場打敗鳳凰城太陽隊當年拿下NBA總冠軍 "You focus just on the one game (Wednesday) and shift the game back to Portland (and) there will be tremendous pressure on the Portland team," Olajuwon said. "You have no choice right now. You've got to focus." 「你必須集中注意力在星期三的比賽並且將系列賽帶去波特蘭，到時候巨大的壓力會在拓荒者那邊」Olajuwon表示「你們現在已經沒有選擇，只能專注在比賽上」 Despite their pep talk, the Rockets aren't sugar-coating their situation. 儘管有鼓舞士氣的談話，火箭並沒有美化他們的處境 "It's desperation time," Chandler Parsons said. "We don't want our season to end and if we lose that's going to happen. All of our backs are against the wall and we've just got to be a resilient team." 「這是一個絕望的時期」Chandler Parsons表示「我們不希望本賽季就此結束如果我們輸了這場比賽，目前已經退無可退我們必須更加自強」 Dwight Howard isn't ready for his first season in Houston to be over, either, and is working to ensure that he and his teammates don't let another one get away. Three of the four games in this series have been decided in overtime and two of Houston's three losses were by a total of five points. Dwight Howard還未準備好在休士頓的第一個賽季就此結束同樣的他和他的隊友正努力使季後賽繼續走下去系列賽近四場比賽內有三場比賽都在延長賽分出勝負火箭輸了其中兩場失分總和五分 "We've got to really believe and that's the only way we're going to win it," Howard said. "It starts with myself and James (Harden)." 「我們必須相信而且我們只有一種方式能夠贏得系列賽」Howard表示「將從我和James Harden開始」 Harden scored 37 points in Houston's lone victory, but has struggled against the Blazers, making just 36 of 103 shots combined in the four games. Harden在火箭隊贏球的那場比賽得到了37分，但在面對拓荒者時顯得很掙扎四場比賽投籃出手103次只命中36球 Howard said the Rockets are focused on finding a way to finish better. Howard表示火箭將尋找方法將比賽最後時刻打得更好 "We've got to go from playing good for 44 minutes to playing for all 48," he said. "If we do that, then we'll turn this series around." 「我們必須從44分鐘變成整場比賽都好表現」他說「如果我們這樣做的話，我們將可以逆轉此系列賽」 Portland's Damian Lillard knows the Blazers will get Houston's best shot on Wednesday night and this will be their biggest test yet. 拓荒者隊Damian Lillard表示拓荒者將在星期三晚上面臨火箭的最大考驗 "Houston will show a lot of fight," he said. "I believe 100 percent that they feel like they can still win the series. It will be hard to put them away. We've got to take it up a level because they will try to keep their season alive." 「火箭將會展現出對抗」他表示「我認為他們百分之百相信他們仍然可以贏下此系列賽這將很困難將他們甩開我們必須提升我們的水平因為他們將設法將系列賽延伸下去」 The Trail Blazers have lost in the first round in their last six trips to the playoffs. A win Wednesday would put them in the second round for the first time since losing in the Western Conference finals in 2000. 波特蘭拓荒者在近六次季後賽之旅中都在首輪出局在星期三的比賽贏得勝利的話將使他們挺進第二輪自從2000年輸掉西區決賽後首次 "We want to finish the series right now and it's going to take a lot of focus from our team and a lot of mental toughness and togetherness," Lillard said. "That's the only way we're going to get it done on the road." 「我們想要就此結束系列賽我們必須更加團結與心理素質更好」Lillard表示「這是唯一的方法我們能夠在客場結束系列賽」 The Rockets have gotten a boost in the last two games from the play of rookie Troy Daniels. Daniels spent most of the season in the NBA Development League, playing just five regular-season games in Houston, but made the game-winning 3-pointer in Houston's win and added 17 points in the last game. 火箭新秀Troy Daniels在近兩場比賽中爆發 Daniels本季大部分在NBA發展聯盟中打球只在火箭打了五場例行賽，但在火箭贏球那場比賽投進致勝三分第四戰中得到了17分 McHale plans to use Daniels in Game 5, too. McHale計畫繼續讓Daniels也在第五戰上場 "We've got to incorporate him in there," McHale said. "He can make shots. He's not afraid. He works hard." 「我們並需更加善用Daniels」McHale表示「他可以投籃並不畏懼，他非常努力」 If Houston wants to keep its season alive, it will have to stay focused on trying to slow down LaMarcus Aldridge. He combined for 89 points in the first two games of the series but cooled down a bit in Portland, and had 23 and 29 points in the two games there. 如果火箭想要將季後賽延續下去，必須焦點集中在放慢LaMarcus Aldridge 他在前兩場比賽中合計得到89分但在波特蘭時時手感稍微冷卻後兩場比賽分別得到23分與29分 He was unhappy with the way Portland has played in the first quarter of the last two games and said the Trail Blazers are intent on changing that on Wednesday. 他並不高興拓荒者在第三與第四場比賽首節的表現並且表示拓荒者將在星期三改善此情形 "We've just got to have a better start," he said. "We just have to match their intensity because they're going to be ready to go." 「我們必須在一開始表現得更好」他表示「我們必須達到與對手的強度一樣，因為對手已經準備好了」 Houston point guard Patrick Beverley missed practice on Tuesday with an illness and has been struggling with a knee problem since banging into Aldridge late in Game 1, but McHale expects him to be ready for Game 5. 火箭控衛Patrick Beverley在星期二的練習中由於傷病缺席並且在第一戰撞到Aldridge後，被膝蓋問題所困擾但McHale期待Beverley能夠準備出戰第五戰。 "I have been concerned about Pat between his knee and not feeling well and everything else," McHale said. "He is going to have to show up and play." 「我一直很關心Patrick的膝蓋並且有點擔心」McHale表示「他明天將上場打球」 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 219.85.6.110 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Rockets/M.1398848637.A.AB6.html
