原文網址 Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Teaches James Harden a Thing or Two

Many times statistics don’t tell the whole story, and even though Jeremy Lin didn’t put up the most impressive of stat lines, it was his presence that made the Houston Rockets play their best basketball in a dominant fourth quarter, while James Harden sat it out entirely, watching from the bench, hopefully taking some pointers.

很多時候數據不能說明實情，儘管林書豪沒有得到亮眼的數據，但是是他的出現，讓休士頓火箭在主宰的第四節當中，打出他們最好的籃球，那時哈登完全不在場上，而是坐在板凳上看著，或許在領受教鞭。

 

The Rockets outscored the Timberwolves 25-11 in the final quarter to come up with the 107-89 win, as Chandler Parsons led the scoring with 20 points and getting a lot of help from Dwight Howard (18 points, 15 rebounds, 3 blocks) and Patrick Beverley with 14 points, but also doing some great work on the defensive end.

火箭在最後一節的比分以25比11力壓森林狼，迎來107比89的勝利，帕森斯得到全隊最高的20分，魔獸大大地幫助了球隊（18分、15籃板、3封阻），還有小貝拿下14分、也在防守上有很棒的貢獻。

 

It was that defense that forced 16 turnovers out of the Timberwolves, including two in the early goings of the first quarter from Ricky Rubio who was having another rough shooting night at 2-of-10 from the field. Beverley made life very difficult for the point guard, and his steals led to excellent fast breaks from Jeremy Lin, usually setting up Parsons for the finish. The Rockets scored 26 fast break points and had 25 assists on their 39 field goals.

是火箭的防守促使森林狼犯下16個失誤，包括在第一節前段盧比歐犯下的2個，金童今晚投10中2、又是一個糟糕命中率的夜晚。小貝讓對方控衛打的很不如意，他的抄截導致了林精彩的反快攻，而這通常是帕森斯作結。火箭藉快攻拿下26分，命中的39球當中有25球是來自助攻。

 

We didn’t try to rush shots and rush down the floor and take bad shots. We took our time, shared the ball and got good shots. We do an excellent job of sharing the ball and finding an open man. When we do that it’s hard for teams to decide what they’re going to do, if they’re going to double out the posts or stay with the 3-point shooters. We just want to make teams make tough decisions on the floor.

“我們並不試著快速投出球、在場上匆忙奔馳然後迫使不好的投籃選擇。我們按著自己的步伐、分享球、找到好的機會。我們在分享球、找尋空檔方面做的很好。當我們這麼做的時候會讓其他球隊不知如何反應，他們應該要包夾低位還是堅守三分射手。我們只是想要讓對方陷入棘手的決策。”

Howard’s words describe a lot of what’s been working recently for Houston (six straight wins) and what was the problem before that. Keywords? Sharing the ball. James Harden had a 4-of-14 from the field performance. He did score 19 points, but his decision making was atrocious once again, showing that the selfish streak isn’t going to leave him, not matter how much it helps the opposition grab a footing once again in the game.

魔獸的發言說明了最近是什麼在幫助休士頓火箭（六連勝），和這之前的問題出在哪。關鍵字？分享球。哈登繳出投14中4的成績，他的確拿了19分，但他的決策再次變得很糟糕，揭示了他自私的傾向不會改掉，也不管這在比賽中，會多大地幫助敵手再次擁有抗衡機會。

 

Jeremy Lin, especially in the fourth quarter, was the exact opposite. He was only 1-of-6 from the field and scoring 2 points, but he led the team in assists (7), turned the ball over only once and made the right play, and especially right pass, time after time. It wasn’t necessary always the one that directly led to the basket, but moving the ball and infecting everyone with his way of passing and thinking did a world of good for the Rockets.

林書豪，尤其在第四節，則是完全相反的例子。他投6只有中1、拿了2分，但他得到全隊最高的7助攻，僅失誤1次，做了許多正確的決定、尤其是正確的傳球，一次又一次。沒有必要總是他成為助攻的那一個，但去移轉球、用他的傳球與思考的方式去影響每個人，帶給火箭非凡的正面影響。

Lin played 33 minutes off the bench, finally more than both Beverley and Harden. It would be naive to think that this is something that will continue consistently considering who the head coach of this team is, but the last couple of weeks and recent win streak has shown more than once just how much better this team is with Jeremy Lin running the floor and not James Harden.

林替補出發打了33分鐘，終於多過於貝登兩人。想了想這個隊的教練是誰之後，還認為這件事會持續發生就太天真了，但過去這幾週和最近的連勝已經不只一次闡明，這個隊伍由林書豪來主導會變得多好，而不是登登。

This isn’t a knock on Harden – he should be playing next to Lin, because the truly is an amazing offensive talent. But when it comes to being the play-caller on the floor and playing/acting like a point guard, the Houston Rockets will benefit from more minutes to Lin, making players like Chandler Parsons and Dwight Howard better for it.

這不是在打擊哈登—他應該要在林身邊打，因為他真的有驚人的進攻天賦。但說到作為場上的指揮者、打的/表現的像個控衛，火箭會因為給林更多上場時間而受益，也讓像帕森斯和魔獸等球員表現更出色。
