Rockets lose to the Lakers in OT, drop to 8th seed, will face OKC
By Jesus Acevedo Jr. http://0rz.tw/zgVgH

Another win slips through the Rockets fingers and Houston now
pack their bags for Oklahoma. What went wrong for Houston?

又一場該贏未贏的比賽從手縫中溜走，
現在火箭隊只能準備打包去OKC的主場為了季後賽第一場作準備。
What the hell is going wrong?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leave it to the last game of the season for the dramatics, not to mention
the location. The Lakers out muscled the Rockets Wednesday night for a 99-95
victory in overtime. Houston was lucky to be in overtime as it took a 26 foot
three pointer from Chandler Parsons at the end of regulation to tie the game
at 90. In the end Parsons shot would only deny the inevitable. Costly turnovers
and the Lakers domination on the board was too much for Houston to handle.
The loss drops the Rockets to the 8th seed and will now face Oklahoma City Sunday
night. Both Houston and LA will finish the season with identical records 45-

前言: 心情不好，略。
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thoughts on the game
整場比賽講評

Offensive woes
攻擊端的悲劇:
(*註:如果FG% 0.417 > 0.3671，3PT% 0.242 < 0.312，FT% 0.708 > 0.676，
     這樣都算悲劇...，但REBS 46 < 57，FT 17-24 < 23-34，BJ4...。)

In the second half and overtime the Rockets only scored 45 points.
They had countless droughts where the offense looked staggered.
The ball movement that was present in the first half was gone.
In the fourth quarter the Rockets found it tough to get any sort of penetration
into the lane. The Lakers twin towers made life impossible for James Harden,
Jeremy Lin and Parsons in the fourth quarter. With three and a half minutes
left in the game the only offense the Rockets could muster was a Harden contested
layup and the Parsons desperation three. The overtime was no different.
Houston did not make it's first field goal until 1:10 left in the game.
Not counting a Parsons free throw.

[1] 整個下半場(含OT)火箭隊只得到45PTS(<55PTS)。
[2] 整個下半場(含OT)有如乾旱一樣，對於球的順暢轉移上半場作得很好，
    但下半場漸漸消失殆盡，留下的只有掙扎的濫投。

[3] 第四節LA雙塔加強禁區防守，讓LIN+HARDEN+CP切入如羊入虎口。
    而最後的三分半鐘，火箭隊只有HARDEN一個嚎洨上籃+CP嚎遠三分得到五分。
  
[4] OT一樣慘不堪言，直到最後1:10時，火箭隊才得到第一個FG。(*註:罰球不算。)

There's an old saying in basketball circles, "Live by the three,
Die by the three", and that was the Rockets undoing. One of the best
three-point shooting teams in the league went 8-33 from behind the arc.
A measly 24%. In the fourth quarter Houston only converted four three
pointers. Hard to believe considering the Rockets made close to 900 three
pointers in the regular season, their second highest total was in the 2006-07
season when they made 705. For the Rockets to surprise people and beat
Oklahoma City they're going to need to make three pointe

[5] 小時候阿公有說過:「成也三分，敗也三分。」 = 火箭隊血淋淋的寫照。
    聯盟頂尖的三分砲指部，今晚: 3PT% 8/33 = 0.24。
    很難想像這是今年打破自己隊史紀錄，投出867個三分的火箭隊。(*註:06-07:705顆)
    想要在季後賽第一輪打敗OKC嗎? 三分練準一點吧!

In the Rockets second to last possession of the game with :49 seconds
left they were unable to successfully run a play. This is a problem the
Rockets have had all season long, when it comes time to run a set play
they get dazed and confused. Leading to last second desperation shots.
This possession is worse because it's coming out of a timeout.
Elite teams are able to score in situations like that and for
the Rockets that's the next thing to learn.

[6] OT剩下49秒時，倒數第二個關鍵PLAY，火箭隊竟發不出邊線球，而喊掉最後一個TO。
    這支隊伍，一整個球季給教練團去思考當這種緊要關頭來時，必須要有好的戰術。
    而你TMD讓整隊站在那邊搖頭晃腦乾瞪眼 = 結果大家都知道，BJ4。
    教練團呀，你們必須知道要成為如馬刺等等的優秀一級球團，在這種關鍵時刻，
    必須要有安排良好戰術與得分的能力呀。 加油好嗎?
    (*註:我為什麼那麼氣，因為這個PLAY跟第四節某次暫停後的邊線戰術完全一樣，
         結果被對方針對後該接應的SMITH被卡死，整隊傻眼看HARDEN(發球者)暫停，
         PLAYBOOK是多薄，有沒有22K那麼薄，這麼關鍵的時刻還這樣。)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Defensively
防守端

Steve Blake did his best White Mamba impersonation on his way to
scoring 24 points. More times than not he would lose Lin and be open
on the corner or wing for an open three. The case was different when
Patrick Beverly was in the game. Beverly pestered him and made life
uncomfortable for him. Regardless the damage was done. Heading into
Sunday's playoff game against the Thunder it has to be on McHale's mind
that Lin is gonna have to guard one of the most dynamic point guards in
the league in Russell Westbrook. Might Kevin Mchale opt to
play Beverly key minutes in the playoffs.

[1] 「黑曼巴」報銷，結果讓Steve Blake變成「白曼巴」 = 24Pts + 7Asts + 7Rebs
    (*註:我真的不是看不起BLAKE，但他真的不是攻擊後衛，但是有冷箭能力3PT% 0.421。
         而今天得分雖高但FG%也才0.33，只是FT 8/8，不過24PTS真的.. (場均:7.3)，
         我只是想說以LIN跟PB的防守的能力應該做的更好而已。)

[2] LIN今天防守BLAKE時常漏人 = 空檔底角or側翼三分。(*註:也有切入+中距。)
[3] PB不斷糾纏並讓BLAKE不舒服。(*註:雖然也造成不少犯規。) 
[4] 完了，該不會對上OKC後，第四節的PG.........BJ4

Omer Asik did an excellent job on Dwight Howard in the first half.
Holding him to four points. Howard ended the night with 16 points and
17 rebounds but earned every one of them. Asik stood his ground and went
toe to toe with Howard. Even getting a key block in the fourth quarter
that led to a failed fast break on the other

[5] ASIK第一節防守DH作的很出色 = 4PTS。
    雖然DH今天 = 16Pts(fg% 0.40) + 18Rebs，但ASIK讓DH覺得分分都辛苦。
    並且在第四節有一個關鍵火鍋的演出，讓火箭隊藉此反快攻得分。

In the fourth quarter when the Rockets were struggling to string
two passes together it was their defense that was on display.
With less than a minute to play in the game the Rockets stymy
defense caused a Lakers shot clock violation and gave the ball
to Houston with :49 seconds. Of course any talk of defense goes
out the window when the end result is a loss.

[6] 綜觀而言，今晚火箭隊的整體防守算是平均水準之上了 = LA FG% 0.367，
    包含最後倒數階段，一次漂亮的防守，讓LA被進攻計時器打敗。
    但，老話一句: FG%不用高，比賽就是 - 贏的球隊得分>輸的球隊得分，BJ4。

[7] 原文沒有七，我自己加的，Harden最後階段底線讓MEEKS直接持球第一步切入灌籃，
                            出來面對!!!叭叭叭。
    今天上半場都幾乎靠你的演出保持領先，很感恩。
    下半場打鐵，你本來就是PLAYMAKER + 第一攻擊選擇，也沒關係。
    但是進攻失靈 + 關鍵時刻，你可以不可以發奮圖強像面對金塊一樣的猛起來防守呢?!
    想要當一個ALL STAR對你或許並不難，想當一個偉大的球員，你絕對要成長呀。
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Player Ratings:
整隊球員評價:(*註:筆者除了描述重點外也有給予評分，0~10分。)

Jeremy Lin: 12pts + 8asts + 2rebs + 2tos
As state before Lin played horrible defense and let Blake run
around shooting threes. Offensively he had some nice open court
lay-ups in the first half, but when the team needed him he was nowhere
to be found. His was a tale of two halves. If Lin wants to be a difference
maker with Houston he's going to have to start making more of an effort on defense.
McHale has shown in the past that he has no problem going with Beverly at the
end of the game.

Jeremy Lin(評分=3): 12pts + 8asts + 2rebs + 2tos

防守端:先前提過了，不論認真與否(或者被調度影響)，讓BLAKE投了數顆3PTS。
攻擊端:有零星的漂亮上籃+三分演出，但當球隊需要他的時候消失了 = 好一半。
如果想要在球隊中擁有更高的地位，更重要的角色 = 關鍵時刻二哥or一哥，
就並須要在防守端作出更多努力。
你知道的，教練第四節板凳席都為你敞開。雖然不無道理，但....(／‵Д′)／~ ╧╧
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
James Harden: 30pts + 8rebs
The Beard had 30 points but he took a lot of shots to get here.
Harden did most of his damage in the first half, scoring 18 points.
Tonight's season finale was an ineffective night for Harden,
shooting 8/25 from the field and 4/13 from behind the arc.
Harden did write his name in the Houston Rockets history books
becoming the fifth Rocket to score more than 2,000 points in a season.

James Harden(評分=5): 30pts + 3asts + 8rebs + 6tos

攻擊端:在鏗鏗鏗聲中辛苦拿下30分(fg% 0.32)+(3pt 0.30)
明明上半場打得很好呀 = 18Pts。
今日達成第五位在隊史上單季超過2000分的紀錄。
防守端:原文都沒提.........
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chandler Parsons: 23pts + 4rebs + 3asts

Time and time again when the Rockets needed a basket Parsons was
there. Including making back-to-back lay ups to end the third quarter.
Parsons game and emergence this season reminds me of another
basketball great who also played a sidekick role to a star.
Scottie Pippen. Both players have a similar game and Parsons
seems to play better in big games. This season has taught us
that Parsons is not afraid to take the last shot, evident by
his three at the buzzer. If Parsons puts on a couple of good
performances in the playoffs he's going to become a well-paid man.
Daryl Morey start getting the check ready. Parsons has the potential
to be a long time Rocket.

Chandler Parsons(評分7): 23pts + 4rebs + 3asts

攻擊端:一次又一次當火箭需要英雄跳出來時，不是HARDEN，不是LIN，就是他 = CP。
       包含第三節連續兩次快攻上籃 + 第四節那顆神奇的追平大號三分彈。
       CP本季的傑出的表現讓我想到一名偉大的頂級老二 = Scottie Pippen。
       他們擁有一樣的特質，並且在關鍵時刻的都有一顆大心臟。
       如果今年季後賽CP能有一樣的亮眼演出，那MOREY該準備調薪了 = 未來的大約。
       CP = 貨真價不實的建隊基石呀!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greg Smith: 8pts + 10rebs

The Greg Smith experiment continues.
Smith got outplayed by the veteran Pau Gasol,
who notched 17 points and 20 rebounds.
It's safe to say the Rockets miss Patrick Patterson's
mid range jumper. When Donatas Motiejunas was in the starting
lineup he was too passive and shot the ball inconsistently.
Smith is a bulldozer so while he helps Houston bang in the paint,
they lose some offense. Might it be time for Terrance Jones to
get a crack at the starting power forward spot.

Greg Smith(評分5): 8pts + 10rebs + 4bls + 5fouls(in 41mins)

防守端:今天對上Gasol繳了學費 : 17pts + 20rebs。4鍋+10板的演出，犯規也控制得不錯。
攻擊端:體能良好爆發力也不錯的SMITH還是僅能靠隊友妙傳得分 = 想念PPT...
       當先發PF還找不到正解時，DMO曾有亮眼表現但越來越...大後鋒又不準。
       或許該給TJ一個先發PF的機會看看。     反正McHale那麼愛實驗...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Omer Asik: 8points + 12 rebounds + 5fouls(in 43mins)

Asik's hands seemed to have let him down tonight.
He was involved in four failed alley-oops when he couldn't
grab the ball. Other times we would fumbled the rebound or let it
get poked away. Despite his lack of offensive skills, which have
improved from his last year with Chicago, Asik has proved to be a
legitimate defensive center in the NBA. HIs game is tailored suited
for what Houston wants to do. If he ever gets paired up with a solid
power forward that would make for a powerful front court.

Omer Asik(評分5): 8points + 12 rebounds + 5fouls(in 43mins)

攻擊端:奶油手不知道怎麼解釋 = 4次空拋妙傳溜手 + 幾次出手亂丟。
防守端:ASIK已經有聯盟頂級防守中鋒的架式(面對DH)，他的防守是火箭隊不可或缺的。
       期待來年在PF這個位置上找到正解，能夠組成強力前場搭檔。
       (*註:看看今天雖不年輕但能打高低位，有中距有傳球的Pau，好羨慕...)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bench: 14 points

The Houston bench could have lifted the Rockets from their offensive
slump in the second half but they were unable to get it going either.
Special note: Beverly is a man with no fear. With 6:30 left in the fourth
quarter he went up in the air with the intention of throwing it down on Howard,
but was foul before he could do so. Beverly is 6'1 compared to the 6'10 Howard.

板凳群(評分4): 14pts(FG% 0.36 3PT% 0/6= 0%) + 10rebs + 6asts + 0to
               (*註:板凳上場時間差不多，但PB抓了10rebs的一半 = 5rebs)

進攻端:上半場替補群表現還OK，但下半場火力不足無法填補先發的缺口。
       雖然板凳三分落賽，但PB勇於挑戰籃框，甚至面對DH。
       (*註:那就不得不提LIN第二節節束前幾秒的coast to coast爆衝上籃了。)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coach Rating:

Mchale went small to start the fourth quarter and it proved to
be the starting point for LA's comeback. With Gasol and Howard
in the game the Lakers were able to take control of the paint and
draw fouls. With LA trotting out their All-Stars to start the fourth
quarter, McHale should have gone with a combination of Asik, Jones,
and Smith. And with 6:18 left in the game McHale opted to sub Beverly
out for Lin, despite the fact that Beverly had just scored and made the
Lakers turn the ball over. While he didn't have the points his hustle and
unwavering fear could have helped Houston.

Kevin McHale(評分3?):

[1] HOU第四節首發的小陣容造就了LA大復活 = 禁區被DH跟GASOL給丹佛了。(D'A:溫馨。)
[2] 當LA換上明星(DH+GASOL)陣容時，MCHALE應該用ASIK+JONES+SMITH去應對。
[3] 最後6:18時，把PB換下把LIN換上，而當時PB剛得分並且讓LA發生失誤。
    (*註:筆者的意思應該是要嘛早點換LIN上，要嘛讓狀況不錯的PB乾脆打完，
         反正不是第一次了，MCHALE這種奇怪調度時間點，真的討論到爛了。)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------






















前進季後賽前的最後四場正規賽，輸了三場(二連敗)，一個字:悶。
