                    Rockets Silence OKC in Game 5 Win                        
By Max Croes http://0rz.tw/SS3CL

The Houston Rockets surprised everyone by slamming the mute button on
Chesapeake Arena and delivering a huge performance with their backs
against the wall.

If you're the #1 seed and you're resorting to Hack-A-Shaq on the
#8 seed, things probably are not going as you planned.

今晚的火箭隊用驚為天人的表現，將雷霆的主場按下靜音按鈕。
如果你是排名第一的種子，而在比賽中對第八種子使出駭客戰術。
那可能是比賽的狀況與你原先計畫是大相徑庭的。

Nobody in the NBA can be more surprised tonight than the Thunder
themselves: Kevin Durant delivered zero fourth quarter points.
Kevin Martin shot 1 of 10. Scott Brooks had no answers for
the Rockets offense or defense.

今晚比賽的狀況，應該只有雷霆隊自己最了解也最驚訝。
[1] Kevin Durant在第四節繳出0分的成績單。
[2] Kevin Martin整場比賽投10中1。
[3] 教練Scott Brooks對火箭隊在攻防兩端的表現，無法回應。

Hell, if tonight were a pop quiz in Algebra II then the Rockets
were sitting in the front row with a pocket protector,
black framed glasses and fresh batteries in their TI-81.

如果今晚的比賽比喻成"一個代數課的突擊考試"。
那火箭隊則是坐在前排，擁有備齊的工具、帶著黑框眼鏡和計算機的考生。
就像是已經做好萬全準備在摩拳擦掌的理工宅。

The Rockets offense stuck all the right notes with transition baskets
built by smart outlet passes and quick movement.
In the half-court the Rockets didn't settle for iso heavy sets
that failed in Games 1 & 2. They found the open shooter.

火箭的進攻快慢合宜，由聰明的傳導與迅速的跑動開啟攻守轉換，
並在半場陣地戰中找到空擋而非像前兩場流於失敗的單打戰術。

The Rockets quick play forced Scott Brooks to abandon his million dollar
plan of playing "two centers at the same time" --
To paraphrase Lawrence from Office Space.

火箭隊的快打炫風逼的雷霆教練Scott Brooks棄守他的百萬作戰計畫 - 雙塔戰術。

It also helps that Patrick Beverley has ice water in his veins.
Time-after-time the Thunder crowd booed him as he drove to the hole
for two points and refused to allow his energy or determination to waver.

每當Patrick Beverley切入得分時，主場觀眾都給予滿場噓聲。
而這也幫助Patrick Beverley更加冷靜，並更堅定自己的能量與決心。

The Thunder defense had no answers for the hot shooting of James Harden
-- 7 for 7 from three at one point --
or Francisco Garcia who went 4 - 8 in the first half, all open looks.

雷霆隊的防守對於兩名球員束手無策:
[1] James Harden - 三分球前七投七中。
[2] Francisco Garcia - 上半場，在空檔中三分球8投4中。

Meanwhile, the Thunder offense had no answer for a Rockets defense
that forced the ball out of Durant's hands.
The Thunder supporting cast wilted when asked to carry the load of
a missing Russell Westbrook and a heavily pressured Kevin Durant.

同時，雷霆隊在進攻端也因為火箭的防守策略，而無法把球交到K.Durant手上。
在失去R.Westbrook後，巨大的壓力壓在K.Durant身上，而其他球員也無法適時填補。

The Rockets defense visibly irritated Durant who spent much of
the game trash talking with Rockets players and begging officials.

火箭隊在防守端很明顯地激怒了K.Durant，
讓KD不斷飆垃圾話和想要跟裁判要犯規。

Scott Brooks committed an early candidate for
"2013 WTF Playoff Moment" when he reverted to
Hack-an-Omer with six minutes left in the game.

在比賽倒數最後六分鐘時，教練Scott Brooks一次又一次的使用"駭喜"戰術。
讓他自己搶先成為"2013-NBA季後賽最囧時刻"的候選人。

The strategy failed to drive Asik from the game.
The Turk rose to the occasion by going 9 - 14 during the ploy.

這次的戰術不但失敗，反而還讓O.Asik遠離板凳。
這名土耳其球員在面對駭喜戰術下，罰球14投9中。

The strategy seemed to backfire on the Thunder.
By killing the run-of-play the Thunder allowed the Rockets to set up
an effective half-court defense that had been pestering Durant
and forcing other members of the Thunder to step up.

這個戰術讓雷霆隊事與願違。
犯規戰術扼殺了雷霆跑起來打的機會,而且讓火箭能使用一直很有效的"壓迫Durant,
讓其他人進攻"的半場防守策略。

Quick Game Notes:
賽事重點:

◎Jeremy Lin did not suit up for the game.
  J.LIN此役因傷缺戰。

◎Carlos Delfino left the game in the second quarter and did not return.
  C.Delfino在第二節因傷退場，而再也沒有上場。

◎McHale stuck to a seven man rotation once Delfino was tapped out.
  K.McHale在Delfino傷退後，就持續使用7人輪替到最後。

◎The Rockets had only 12 turnovers. Only one turnover in the first quarter.
  火箭隊整場只發生12次失誤，第一節僅一次失誤。

◎Kevin Durant scored 0 points in the fourth quarter.
  K.Durant在第四節得0分。

◎Aaron Brooks, who saw that coming?
  A.Brooks奇蹟似地復活了!

◎Patrick Beverley wore shoes that appear to give him unlimited turbo in NBA
  Jam. P.Beverley的小黃鞋其實是外掛程式，給予他無限次的渦輪增壓!

◎Omer Asik went 13 - 18 from the line on the night. 9 - 14 during Hack-an-Omer.
  O.Asik今晚罰球18投13中，駭喜戰術下14投9中。(FT% 0.722)。


◎The Rockets shot 40% from three.
  今晚的火箭隊三分球命中率高達"40%"。
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Top two moments:
本場兩大高光:

James Harden gets a 2 for 1 by "walking the dog" for 2/3rds
of the court and draining a three with 22 seconds on the
shot clock:

Harden利用"溜狗"的方式開球,推進了2/3場,然後只花了兩秒投進一顆三分球
得到了攻2守1的機會
而A.Brooks隨後再用漂亮地切入拋投捕上一槍。

Kevin Martin and Derek Fisher draw an offensive foul on
Omer Asik with a rare double flop:

O.Asik表演罕見的雙人Strike進攻犯規。(苦主:K.Martin + D.Fisher)
