[外電] Adelman shuffles Rockets' lineup on the fly

[duckkenny ()]

Rockets adapt with each game
Players accept constantly revised starting lineups based on opponent
火箭每場都視對手調整陣容

This was not what Rick Adelman had planned, not anything he would have
predicted. But it fits.

這出乎矮豆人意料之外，但卻很有用

He has long preferred to come up with a group of starters and a rotation,
usually not a deep one, and then stick with them. Through the first half of
his first season coaching the Rockets, he went with that formula. In the four
games since, he has changed his rotation on the fly, finishing with different
groups in each game and making his first change to starters not forced by
injury.

他以前喜歡只用一套固定先發和少人輪替。前半季也確實這麼做，但最近四場比賽他開始
在飛機上改變先發陣容。

With that, he came up with a different formula, in which the only constant
will be change.
"It's just something you have to do," Adelman said of his suddenly adjustable
rotation. "The way the league is now, you have to (adjust). Some teams play
conventional. Some teams, like (Tuesday) night (against Golden State) and the
team we're going to see on Friday (Indiana), you have to play small. You have
to have active people on the floor because they have shooters everywhere. I
just think it's something we have to adjust to night in, night out.
Fortunately, we do have some flexibility there."

"不這麼做不行"矮豆人說"現在聯盟就是這樣，有些球隊傳統打法，但有些像勇士和溜馬
，必須跟他們玩小球。他們射手滿天下，我們必須調整防守，還好我們有本錢"

Most of the changes are at power forward where Luis Scola replaced Chuck
Hayes in the starting lineup. Adelman has not decided on Friday's starters,
but with the Pacers' low-post power forward Jermaine O'Neal out, he was
"leaning" toward keeping Scola as a starter.

最大的改變是四克拉取代海爺先發。矮豆人還沒決定對溜馬的陣容，但因為擅長低位的小
歐不能上場，他傾向於繼續讓四克拉先發。

Go with the flow
隨波逐流

Even beyond that switch, he has used Carl Landry and Scola as backup centers
and Landry as a power forward. And in the past two games, he mixed in Steve
Novak. In the backcourt, he has used Bonzi Wells and Luther Head as starters
when Tracy McGrady has been out. Wells did not play at all in the fourth
quarter Sunday, but he played on several possessions in the final minutes
Tuesday.

他把藍德麗和四克拉當作替補中鋒和大前。在最近的兩場比賽，他加入了諾瓦克這個動
作，就是為了噱到…。後場踢妹不在時，由餵兒子和小頭先發。

"I never expected not to play Chuck (Tuesday) night, but Luis got off to a
nice start and Carl came in and played well, and they went completely small
so I was more comfortable playing smaller people," Adelman said. "I think the
guys we have, we're pretty flexible, especially with Luis getting more
comfortable being out on the floor, guarding people. I think we can do it,
depending on the game."

"昨晚不是故意要冰海爺的，誰知道四克拉和蘭德利這小陣容這麼好用，讓我感到舒服"矮
豆人說"尤其是四克拉的防守"

For the Rockets' power forwards especially, the rotating rotation requires
they be ready and adaptable. Though he started Tuesday, Scola played his
customary 25 minutes. In the past five games, his playing time has ranged
from 40 minutes (in Sunday's game when Yao Ming was out) to 22 minutes
against San Antonio. Hayes' playing time has ranged from 24 minutes to not at
all. Hayes, Novak, Landry and Scola all have finished games.

過去五場，四克拉上場時間約40 (這場姚明感冒他代打中鋒)到22分鐘之間，而海爺則是
24分鐘到整場防守開特力之間。

"You have to be ready," Scola said. "Teams are different. So many games, so
many teams, you have to be ready for everything. Sometimes you need some kind
of player, other times you need some other kind of players. There are games
that are good for you, other games that are good for some other players. You
just have to be mentally ready for every game and every moment of the game.

"必須隨時待命"四克拉說"每支隊伍特性都不一樣blalba..(跟前面矮豆人講的差不多就不
翻了)。

"We have power forwards that are very different. Everyone can give something
the other guys can't. We can use Steve when we need a really good shooter. We
can use Carl when we need the five, or Chuck when we play a really good power
forward for him to stop. That's a really good thing. If you have the
versatility on your roster, I think it's good."

"我們有各式各樣的大前鋒可用，諾瓦克可以投籃、need the five(?)時有蘭德利、海爺
可以防守強悍的大前鋒"

--因為每個都有缺陷嘛..

Hayes the stopper
大鎖海爺

The defensive responsibilities seem to be the top indicator of who will play.
With Scola no longer as foul-prone on the perimeter as he was early in the
season, he has played against the shooting power forwards. When teams have
high-scoring fours, such as Utah's Carlos Boozer on Sunday or Seattle's Kevin
Durant on the final possession last week, Hayes has been the choice.

能防守對方就有球打。當四克拉不再是球季初的犯規大王，他就可以防守對方很會射的大
前鋒。但遇到猶他的布惹或西雅圖的杜蘭特這種得分好手，就需要海爺。

That gives Hayes the unenviable task of playing only in the most difficult of
circumstances, but he said anything that earns playing time is fine with him.

這讓海爺總在最艱困的環境下上場，但他說只要能獲得上場時間就很滿足，任何活兒都好

"As a competitor, you want to play, period, no matter who is out there,"
Hayes said. "We play according to personnel, who they've got and how they
play. Coach (Adelman) tries to match up. If he feels this five matches up
best with that five, he's going to play them.
"I just have to be ready."

"我想打球，才不管對手是哪根蔥。"海爺說"我們是看對手情況上場的，矮豆人會試著
排出最合適的陣容，他說了算。""我只需要隨時上膛。"

These days, a long list of teammates feel the same way.

一脫拉庫的隊友也都這麼認為
