Injury updates, Howard's dominance, and Parsons reflects on the Rockets'
defensive ceiling

傷病情報更新、魔獸的統治力、與 CP25 對於火箭團隊防守能力的想法

HOUSTON - After sustaining minor injuries during Wednesday’s regular season
opener against Charlotte, Rockets guards James Harden (sore wrist, back) and
Patrick Beverley (bruised ribs) did not take part in Houston’s practice
Thursday afternoon.

由於山貓戰中受傷，PB 與 JH 沒有參加星期四午後的練習。

Both players are listed as day-to-day so there’s at least a decent chance
they’ll be considered game-time decisions heading into Friday’s tilt
against the Dallas Mavericks.

兩人被列入每日觀察名單，可能在小牛戰之前才決定是否能夠上場。

Houston Head Coach Kevin McHale mentioned that Jeremy Lin took part in about
half of Thursday’s workout, but said he fully expects Lin to be ready and
available to play Friday night.

MaHale 說 Lin 大概參與了一半的星期四練習，但認為 Lin 完全能夠在
小牛戰上場。


Just how dominant was Dwight Howard during his regular season Rockets debut?
You already know he tied his career-high by corralling 26 rebounds. Here’s
another stat to lend perspective to his big night on the boards: During the
35 minutes Howard was on the floor Wednesday night, Houston snagged a
remarkable 46.2 percent of their missed shots. Just as noteworthy, the
Rockets produced an offensive efficiency rating (points per 100 possessions)
of 112.8 and a defensive rating of 92.8 while Howard played, according to
NBA.com. Each of those numbers, by the way, would have led the league in
their respective categories a year ago.

魔獸多棒？拿到了平生涯記錄的 26 籃板；另一個數據：魔獸在場上的35分鐘，
火箭搶回了百分之 46.2 的失投（拿下 46.2% 的進攻籃板）；當魔獸在場時，
火箭的進攻效率是：每一百次球權得 112.8 分；防守效率是失 92.8 分。

這兩個數據，擺在去年的話會領先全聯盟。

One more stat courtesy of NBA.com, this time highlighting the tremendous
boost off the bench provided by Francisco Garcia: The Rockets enjoyed a OER
of 118.3 and a DER of 84.7 during his 30 minutes of play.

另一個板凳提供的火花：老賈在場上時，進攻與防守效率分別是 118.3、84.7。

Lastly, Chandler Parsons got my attention last night when I asked him for his
thoughts regarding this Houston team’s defensive ceiling. His response: “I
think we can be the best defense in the league.”

JF 問了 CP25「火箭今年的防守強度能多高」，他回答：「我們會是聯盟最好的」

Cue the 'You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention' meme.
That’s a mighty big statement, especially given the suffocating defenses
possessed by teams like Miami, Chicago and Indiana (among others). But it’s
borne of the confidence that comes with playing with a pair of Defensive
Player of the Year candidates and that belief has only been boosted by Houston
’s most recent efforts against Charlotte and its final two preseason affairs
against Memphis and San Antonio. The combined preseason field goal
percentages from the Rockets’ opponents during that stretch: 36.4 percent.

這句話可能有點誇大了，畢竟前面還有熱火、公牛、溜馬等防守強隊，但有了
年度最佳防守球員候選人（AKA魔獸）、與熱身賽末兩場的數據：對手的命中率
只有 36.4%，CP25的確可以有這樣的信心。

Parsons delved deeper into his thinking after today’s practice.
“With our big lineup, we have so much size and we’re going to be such a
good rebounding team,” he began. “Like I’ve said all along, when you have
Dwight and Omer up there that gives wings the confidence to be aggressive and
be more active while getting in passing lanes. So it gives you more freedom
defensively to make reads and make gambles that you wouldn’t really
necessarily do with another lineup. Now when we go small, we’ve got to be
more solid, but that starting five, having Patrick Beverley pressuring you 94
feet and those two big guys behind you, it just gives you that confidence
that I don’t think a lot of teams have.

CP25：「我們的身高，讓我們是個非常能搶籃板的球隊。有了雙塔，可以讓
側翼球員防守時積極一點（堵住傳球線）、在防守時有更多選擇自由、可以
讓你做出在非雙塔陣容時不會做的防守選擇。

當我們打小球時，的確該打得更團結；但有雙塔在後方、而你前面的小貝在
離藍框 94 呎就開始壓迫持球員的時候，這種信心不是很多隊能夠有的。

“Defense takes time and you have to be comfortable with each other and
understand each other’s habits. There’s a lot of great defensive teams, I
just think that we do have the potential to be the best team with our size
and athleticism. We’re pretty good now and we’re only going to get better
as we acquire more chemistry and familiarity as a group.”

「（培養）防守（強度）需要時間，你需要很習慣跟每個隊友打球、了解
彼此習慣。聯盟中的確有很多很棒的防守隊伍，但我認為以我們的身高與
體能，我們有機會成為聯盟防守最好的球隊。我們現在的防守已經很好了
，只要培養化學氣氛、讓隊友更互相熟悉，我們的防守會更好」
