Jan. 28, 2008, 1:15AM Jazz blow past Rockets late, win 97-89 Utah gets 37 points in fourth with Williams' master management of offense By JONATHAN FEIGEN Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle Rockets play sour tune in 97-89 loss to Jazz, Rockets play sour tune in 97-89 loss to Jazz At first, the Rockets could not shoot. They fixed that; then, they could not shoot free throws. 一开始火箭队不知道该怎麽样投进球，他们修正後，就不知道该怎麽罚球 囧 They made a few of those. But when they could not stop the Utah Jazz down the stretch, they were doomed to a finish that brought reminders of the Jazz's previous appearance in Toyota Center. 他们只能投进一些罚球，但他们不能阻止Jazz，所以他们注定又要回想起上次Jazz来到火 箭主场时代给他们的教训(那时是Game7 爵士以103:99 获胜，而这场比赛火箭的罚球 24-33)。 The Jazz scored on their last 13 possessions Sunday before running out the clock on a 97-89 win before a crowd of 17,480. Jazz在结束前13次球权中皆获得了分数，并且在17480个观众前赢了比赛。 The loss, in the only game against the Jazz at Toyota Center this season, snapped the Rockets' four-game winning streak, dropped them two games behind the eighth-place Trail Blazers and brought a taunting reminder of the Game 7 finish of last season. 这场比赛，也是唯一这个季赛中Rockets在家出战Jazz的比赛，撕裂了火箭的四连胜，且 让他们输给了第八名的Blazers两场比赛并唤醒他们上次季後赛Game7的惨痛回忆。 "When you're tied against a team like Utah, that doesn't mean it's over," said Luis Scola, who started at center for the Rockets with Yao Ming out with a respiratory infection. "We were right there. Six, seven minutes to go, we were tied. I think they were pretty confident. I think we did a pretty good defensive job for 40 minutes. 在Yao呼吸道感染後扛下中锋责任的Scola说：当你今天将像Jazz这般的对手球队限制住时 ，并不代表这一切已经结束，因为 在最後的6,7分钟我们也被限制住了，我想他们是很 有自信的。我们已经做了40分钟的好防守了。 "At the end of the game, they hit the big shots they were not hitting at the beginning. That's what really killed us." 在比赛要结束的时候，他们射进了一些关键的球，这真的是要了我们的命。 Back in Toyota Center for the first time since they eliminated the Rockets from last season's playoffs with a five-minute Game 7 surge, the Jazz owned the final minutes again. With the Rockets leading 71-69, with eight minutes left, the Jazz never went down the floor without scoring again. 回想起Jazz第一次在主场夺走Rockets 的Game 7胜利时，也是像这样，他们赢得了最後关 键的时刻。在最後8分钟Rockets还是以71-69领先时，Jazz从不在球权替时没有得分。 The second-ranked shooting team in the NBA, Utah had made 38.9 percent of its shots through three quarters. Jazz有项排名是全联盟第二：就是他们在第三节的命中率是38.9% But in the last eight minutes, the Jazz made 11 of 14 shots; the Rockets' makeshift lineup, with combinations forced by Yao's absence and the long search for scoring, did little to interfere. 但在前八场比赛，Jazz总共14投中11。而火箭这种缺少Yao的临时阵容，很难对Jazz发挥 什麽作用。 "I think we had them in the fourth quarter, and they made some shots," said forward Steve Novak, who had a career-high 10 points, all in a five-minute rush in the third quarter. "We needed a couple stops we didn't get." 在这场比赛中拿下10分生涯新高的前锋Novak 说道：我想我们应该是在第四节有跟上他们 的，但是他们还是顺利的投进一些球。我们需要一对人(可能指MM)来帮助我们停止那些我 们所没有的。 Bad start, too But the Rockets had started as badly as they finished. The problems were on the offensive end. Rockets有着糟糕如同比赛结束时般的开始，这问题在於进攻。 Tracy McGrady made one of eight shots in the first half, scoring two points and combining with Rafer Alston for a 3-of-16 shooting half for Rockets guards. T-mac在第一节中只8投中1，跟RA合计起来16投中3 囧 The Rockets' 35 first-half points matched their fewest of the season. They ended the first half and started the second missing 10 consecutive shots and falling behind 45-35. Rockets只在半场中拿得了这季新低35分，下半节开始时又连续miss 10球，导致他们以 45-35落後。 "I'm disappointed in the way we started the game again," Rockets coach Rick Adelman said. "We didn't attack like we normally do. 我对於今天我们的开场感到失望，这不是我们进攻应有的正常水准。Adelman said "We didn't put pressure on them around the basket. (The) third quarter, the way we came out and played, that's how we should have started the game. We've had too many games we've been like this." 我们并没有施给他们太大的压力在进攻上。直到第三节我们才打出我们该有的进攻，这正 是我们开始比赛时就应该要有的。我们有太多比赛像这样了。 Nearly three minutes into the second half, McGrady dropped in a jumper and scored on three drives. 在半场结束前的三分钟，T-mac跳投获得了3分。 When Novak hit consecutive 3s late in the third quarter, the Rockets had their largest lead, 59-56. 当Novak在第三节连续进了3分球时，Rockets取得了他们最大的领先59-56。 "You got to understand the game," said McGrady, who led the Rockets with 21 points, nine assists and six rebounds. "Without Yao in the lineup in the first half, I was trying to get these guys going. It doesn't make sense for me to go out there and try to score all the points. Then, when I do pass the ball, these guys have no rhythm. 你必须要了解比赛，在这场没有Yao的阵容中，我试图让我们的球队动起来，对於我来说 获取所有的分数并没有意义。但是我传球後，那些队友却好像跟不上。这场比赛T-mac总 共传了9次助攻。 "I was trying to get these guys the ball, get them confidence, because down the stretch of the game, you're going to need your teammates. I was trusting my teammates. 我视图要将球导到他们身上，并且让他们有信心些，因为我知道整场比赛下来，你需要你 的队友，我是着去相信他们。 "That's what I was doing in the first half. I saw we were down six at half, and I wanted to come out in the second half and be more assertive on the offensive end." 这就是我上半节尝试去做的事，我看到我们落後6分，所以我在下半节强调了我自己在进 攻端的自干XD。 He made nine of 16 shots in the second half when the Rockets shot 53.7 percent. But the Rockets went just 9-of-19 from the foul line in the game, then broke down defensively down the stretch. 他在下半节中16投9中，提昇了Rockets的命中率至53.7%，但是他们罚球只有19投9中，而 且也没能限制住对手，所以输了比赛。 Opportunity lost "This was an important game for us, considering this team is ahead of us, and we only play them three times this year, so we're even now, 1-1," McGrady said. "I just felt like if it came down to the end, based on the two of us with equal records, this was one of those games we had to win." "我知道对我们而言这是场重要的比赛，更何况对手是排名领先我们的，我们总共在这季中 只会对阵3次，目前1比1。我只是感觉如果我们最後要失败了，而我们又是相同的战绩的 话，这场比赛是那些我们必须去赢的比赛"(这边我有点不懂) The previous game against the Jazz in Toyota Center was a true must-win. Sunday's was not, even if the finish was eerily similar. 但是上一场主场的比赛，也是我们必须要赢的，但是还是相同的结果(记者) ----- 真的是胜败两样情阿 不过听听球员教练的心声 真的是蛮不错的 不过记者真的还蛮哀伤的感觉=..= ----- 这篇是仿照referee大大 所作的翻译 因为最近在练习英文 那来练习用 希望不会介意<(_ _)> 第一次翻译 若有不佳 请多见谅 --
