He has informed his pursuers in Houston, San Antonio, Phoenix and Boston that he will decide with which one he will finish the season today. Barry希望多给他一天，让他好好思考该加入哪支球队。目前据传追求Barry的球队包括 火箭、马刺、太阳、Celtics，他今天将会决定要加入哪支球队。 （大概是台湾半夜~明天早上） After being surprised to be included in a trade-deadline deal that sent him from San Antonio to Seattle as part of the Spurs' bid to acquire Kurt Thomas, the 36-year-old long-range shooter has been wooed by the heavy-hitting quartet of contenders. Barry知道自己要被马刺送去超音速换K.Thomas时，感到非常震惊。现在有包括火箭在内 的四支劲旅追求这位36岁的三分射手 The 6-7 Barry, a career 40.7 percent shooter from beyond the 3-point line, has been sidelined with a calf strain since Jan. 27 and is believed to be at least a week away from returning to the court to practice. 6尺7寸的Barry生涯三分命中率高达40.7%，一月27日因为後小腿拉伤而得休息至少一周才 能回球队练习。 Perfect goal 完美的目标 Before they take over the world, the Rockets have their sights set on conquering February. 在火箭称霸世界之前，他们现在把目标放在光辉的二月。 "Our new goal is sweep the month," Yao Ming said. "We are having a great month, 12 in a row, and we have a chance to make history if we win the last two games." 「我们最新的目标是二月全胜，」姚明说。 「我们这个月真是屌爆了，12连胜，我们只要再赢两场就可以让二月满江红了！」 If they can take care of the Wizards tonight and the Grizzlies on Friday, it would be the first time a Rockets team has gone undefeated through an entire month since November 1993 (14-0). That team opened the season 15-0 to set an NBA record. 如果今天晚上（台湾明天早上）能干掉巫师，礼拜五再杀灰熊，那将是火箭自从1993年 11月以来（14胜0败）首度获得整个月的胜利。当年的火箭以15胜0败揭开球季的序幕。 （那时候报纸几乎每天都提到火箭...没想到已经是14年前的事了 囧） "You always have long-term goals and short-term goals," coach Rick Adelman said. "You're not really looking ahead. You're looking at where you put yourself. You put yourself within two games of doing that (sweeping the month). If (Yao) would have said that seven games ago, I would have said let's wait a little bit. But I think it's realistic. If it's something that motivates us to get these next two games, that would be great." 「球队总是有远程目标和近期目标，」教练Adelman说。 「你不能好高骛远，而是要看你自己的能力能到哪儿。现在短期的目标就是把这两场 拿下来，达成二月全胜。如果姚明在七场前就说要二月全胜，那我只能说，是在急什 麽鸟？不过我觉得现在姚明这样想是很合理的，如果有个目标刺激我们去全力赢得这 两场比赛，那不错阿。」 Missing at stripe 鸟罚球 Tracy McGrady wrapped up his workout Monday by standing at the foul line and making 14 consecutive free throws. In Sunday's win over the Bulls, he was just 8-for-12, and the Rockets made only 17 of 31. 礼拜一练习的时候，T-mac站在罚球线连续罚进了14球。礼拜天战胜公牛的那场比赛， T-mac的罚球仅仅12中8，火箭全队更是凄惨的31中17。 "I'm the worst," McGrady said. "We've been shooting bad from the stripe all season. I don't know. Background. Concentration. You can say all kinds of things." 「我是罚最差的，」T-mac说。 「我们整个球季的罚球都烂死了，我也不知道为什麽会这样。篮球架後面的背景， 注意力...啥都有可能。」 Scola doing job Coach Rick Adelman might not have expected the Rockets to remain undefeated for several weeks after Luis Scola was put in the starting lineup at power forward. But the production of the 27-year-old rookie has been no surprise. Adelman也许不会奢望把Scola放到先发之後，火箭就能一直连胜好几个礼拜。不过这位 27岁的伪菜鸟能打出这麽好的成绩，真的一点都不意外。 "He's had that half-a-year experience in our league," Adelman said. "We did not want to start him early. We didn't want to throw him to the wolves right away. We didn't think defensively he was ready for it. But after half the games with experience and everything else, I think he's comfortable now, and we have three really good players at that power forward spot." 「他已经有半年的NBA资历了，」Adelman说。 「我们当初不希望他太早成为先发，我们不希望一开始就把他丢进火坑里，我们当初没有 自以为他已经准备好了。不过当他经历半个球季之後，我想Scola现在已经适应这联盟 了。现在，我们在大前锋这位置上有三个很棒的球员。」 --
