Rockets’ playoff push gets vital shove with win over Jazz
擊退來犯的爵士後, 火箭又朝季後賽邁進了一大步  http://tinyurl.com/c59r9y8

With a day off and orders to clear his mind, Jeremy Lin took the opportunity
to head to the gym.
經過一天的休息沉澱後, 揪咪林果敢的踏進球場迎戰

He did change things up a bit. With Alicia Keys taking over Toyota Center,
Lin found a different court and a few different teammates. But Lin’s idea of
a day off included basketball.
揪咪今天更快更猛了些. (昨晚)Alicia Keys在豐田中心開了演唱會, 今天的主場跟隊友
都有些不同, 但在揪咪的腦海中, 雖然放假了, 但還是要練練跳投~

“It’s therapeutic,” he said.
揪咪說, 練投後人也清爽多了~

After Sunday’s 30-point loss to Golden State, he and the Rockets needed the
therapy, so Lin spent a chunk of Monday launching jumpers and playing HORSE.
被勇士狂電30分後, 揪咪跟隊友們都很需要療癒一下脆弱的小心靈, 所以林書豪周一花
了很多時間練跳投 & 玩HORSE籃球遊戲 (http://tinyurl.com/dyxru8o)

When the Rockets reconvened at Toyota Center on Wednesday, Lin spent the
night as if still goofing with his brother and buddies far from the cameras
and lights. He repeatedly pierced the Utah Jazz defense, helping to drive the
Rockets to a 26-point lead. And when the Jazz rallied in the fourth quarter,
Lin knifed through them again, with one drive to a layup and another and a
pass for a Chandler Parsons dunk that finally closed out the Jazz 100-93.
然後今天再戰主場, 林狂切猛切一直切, 硬是把爵士的防守切到潰不成軍, 帶領火箭來
到最多26分的領先~   第四節爵士不服輸的急起直追, 也是林書豪跳出來化身成刀, 人
球一體的疾切上籃 + 妙傳高富帥, 再度擊潰了爵士的攻勢, 火箭100-93獲勝!

Lin made eight of nine shots in the paint as the Rockets went from launching
3-pointers to beating the Jazz at the rim, and from a series of slow starts
to a rapid bolt from the opening tip that set the tone for the game.
今天火箭不靠三分雨, 靠的是揪咪這把快刀~

“JLin made them pay,” Parsons said. “He’s a good player, especially in
pick-and-roll. He’s fast. … He can get in the paint.”
高富帥說: 林書豪讓爵士付出慘痛的代價, 他真的好出色, 尤其是他的pick n roll.
他的速度也驚人的快, 往往都能切入禁區得分~

With that, the Rockets pushed their lead over ninth-place Utah to three games
and clinched the head-to-head tiebreaker. Though they needed a late push to
finish off a game, the Rockets knocked each line of a checklist. They started
rapidly, leading by 10 points in the first quarter and never trailing. They
limited the Jazz, who are sixth in offensive rebounding, to five. They even
got a first-half lift from a struggling bench.

Living in the lane

Most of all, when they built their lead early and protected it late, they
lived in the lane.

“Jeremy really attacked the rim well,” Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. “I
thought that Jeremy made some big hoops coming down the stretch when we
needed them. They were really intent on staying with James (Harden) in the
second half and really not giving him a lot of room, so Jeremy really broke
free. Jeremy kept turning the corner and got in the paint. We needed all of
those.”

Harden similarly got in the lane, especially in the first half when he scored
20 of his 29 points. He drew fouls and made 17 of 18 free throws but went
0-for-6 from the field in the second half.

With the Jazz guards going over screens and the big men showing only briefly
before scrambling back to the Rockets’ rolling centers, Lin repeatedly
turned the corner and finished at the rim. He made nine of 13 shots to score
24 points. In March’s nine games, he has made 53.9 percent of his shots.

“A lot of times I read the big man and what the guard is doing,” Lin said.
“The guard was coming over the screen and the big man was leaving early. It
allowed a lot of dribble penetration for me and James tonight.”

Lin had 10 third-quarter points as the Rockets built a 26-point lead. But
when they slowed down and Utah’s Gordon Hayward got hot, the Jazz closed to
within eight with 4:25 left. With that, Lin twice beat Alec Burks off the
dribble. After a timeout, the Rockets ran a rare set play with Lin passing to
a cutting Parsons, pushing the lead back to 10.

Horsing around

The Jazz never really threatened again. No additional therapy was needed.

“Sometimes, when you do that, you get the feel of the joy of the game back
in you again,” Lin said of his day off in the gym. “I went and shot. My
little brother is in town. My buddy is here. We just went out and messed
around, played some HORSE. But we didn’t get to finish because other people
started playing. Everyone had S.”

On Wednesday, however, he finished what the Rockets started.
