譯文: 贏球的時候肯定很爽。火箭隊已經連勝了11場，過去21場比賽我們贏了18場，這讓秋地重 新進入了季後賽門票的爭奪中。許多人都問我為什麼火箭越打越好。我認為我們收穫了在 賽季之初所缺乏的自信。不需要什麼激動人心的演說和聒噪的長篇大論鼓舞士氣，有時候 整個團隊能精准合作，我們就會打得更加出色。同時讓我自豪的是球隊在客場表現也相當 好。NBA球隊想在客場贏球很難。許多球隊在主場打得更有激情，因為他們身後有球迷的? 喊支持。無論這支球隊擁有怎樣的紀錄，想在客場贏球都很困難。我們在取得客場11連勝 （應為10連勝）後讓許多球迷都感到驚訝，我們創造了球隊史上客場連勝最長紀錄。 我們接下來擁有5個主場比賽。在本賽季的賽程表上，這是最長的一個連續主場，我們必 須抓住這個機會。我們現在在西部排名第七，距離西部第一黃蜂只有4個勝場的差距。這 是個好消息。壞消息是我們距離第九名只有2個勝場。我們必須下決心將連勝期間的狀態 保持下去。我們隊內經常討論的一個話題就是團結。當我們打出團隊籃球時，我們很難被 擊敗，反之我們就不堪一擊。我告訴隊友，球隊想成功必須做到以下三點：保持謙卑、保 持饑渴感、保持團結。 目前整支球隊都很興奮。希望你們能繼續關注我們，竭盡全力為我們尖叫吧！ 回見 肖恩 ============================================================================= 原文 February 24, 2008 It is certainly much more fun when we are winning. The Rockets have won 11 straight games and 18 out of our last 21 games to crawl back into the playoff race. A lot of people have asked me why we are playing better now. I believe that we have gained a confidence that we did not have earlier in the year. There wasn't any motivational speech or some loud tirade that brought the players together, sometimes everything just clicks as a team and we play better. I am very proud of our team on the road as well. It is very difficult to win on the road in the NBA. Most NBA teams play with more passion and excitement because they have the support of the hometown fans behind them. Regardless of what a team's record might be, it is difficult to win on the road. We have surprised many people by winning 11 straight road games which is a record for the Houston Rockets! We now have a five game homestand. It is the longest homestand that we have left on our schedule and we must take advantage of it. While we are still in 7th place in our conference, we are only 4 games behind the New Orleans Hornets for the best record in the Western Conference. That is the good news. The bad news is that we are still only 2 games from being out of the playoffs completely. We will need a firm resolve to continue to play the way we have during this winning streak. The message that our team talks about everyday is togetherness. When we play as a team, we are difficult to defeat and when we do not play as a team, we are vulnerable to getting beat by the other team. I have told the team that we must do 3 things in order t o be successful: Stay humble, stay hungry, and stay together. This is a very exciting time for our team. We hope you follow this stretch run of the season and cheer as loud as you can for us! Talk to you soon, Shane http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4b2b253e01008gn5.html --
