Houston Rockets – James Harden Needs Jeremy Lin to Stop Him

 哈登需要林書豪去阻止他

There are plenty of reasons the Houston Rockets picked up an embarrassing and needless loss to the Los Angeles Lakers: Dwight Howard unable to convert shots from the line, Patrick Beverley starting for Jeremy Lin, terrible defense early on in the game, and James Harden not knowing when to stop thinking only about scoring on his own.

火箭對上洛城湖人隊丟臉又不必要的敗役，有很多原因：霍華德在罰球線上投不進球，貝佛利先發而不是林，比賽前段糟糕的防守，以及哈登不知道什麼時候該停止只想著自己得分。

 

Kevin McHale wants Beverley in the lineup to make things easier for James Harden. Instead, he’s simply hurting his team. Jeremy Lin scored 16 points and seems to be a calming influence next to Harden who doesn’t have too many modes to his game – he either drives to the basket without really thinking about anyone else, or worse – taking tough shots with too many hands in his face. He did score 35 points, but on only 9-of-24 from the field with 3-of-9 from beyond the arc.

凱文麥克海爾想要貝佛利在先發陣容裡，以便哈登能自在行事。但是他只是在傷害這個隊伍。林書豪拿了16分，且似是個安撫的力量環繞在哈登身邊，當後者的藍球總是沒有太多招式 – 他不是幾乎沒有想到別人就衝向籃筐，或是更糟 – 在很多隻手晃在眼前時卻勉強出手。他的確得了35分，但24投裡只中9，三分線投9中3。

 

Lin came on as a sixth man, playing next to either Harden or Beverley. The Rockets’ good minutes happened when Lin was on the floor, and not because of his good defense. He simply makes better decisions than anyone else in the backcourt on offense. The problem is the ball isn’t in his hands as much as it should be. Beverley finishing with 1-of-10 from the field as the Rockets continue to struggle with their outside shooting because of bad ball movement (only 7-of-27 from beyond the arc in this game, 32.7% this season) and wrong priorities.

林在這場比賽以第六人身分出發，總是伴隨在哈登或者貝佛利身邊。流暢的火箭總是發生在林出現場上的時候，不是因為他的防守好，他就只是比其他後場進攻的人還能夠做出更好的決策。問題在於球在他手中的時間不夠多。貝佛利投10中1時，就是當火箭的外線持續陷入困境的時候，原因在於糟糕的球的流動（本場三分線27投只有7中，命中率只有25.6%，本賽季平均是32.7%），以及錯誤的優先順序。

 

Chandler Parsons scored 16 points and was at his best when the Rockets finally played some defense early in the fourth quarter, forcing 24 turnovers on the Lakers throughout the game, scoring 26 points off of them. In open court, the Rockets look great, but their half court offense, especially when Harden holds onto the ball for much too long and we don’t see any spacing or movement from players, can often lead to some frustrating results.

帕森斯投進16分，而他表現最好的時刻，是在第四節火箭終於開始拿出一些防守時，最終導致湖人整場共24個失誤，藉此拿下26分。在開方進攻時間內，火箭看起來很棒，但在半場進攻時，尤其當哈登拿球過久、我們看不到球員間有任何空間拉動或動作，時常導入令人失望的結果。

 

Dwight Howard did score 15 points and grab 14 rebounds, but was an awful 5-of-16 from the line. Even though the Rockets didn’t play a very good game and deserved to lose it, those 11 points gone missing eventually cost them the win. It’s impossible to expect him to shoot 80-90% from the line each night, which happens twice or three times a year, but being someone who goes to to shoot free throws more than anyone else in the league, Howard and the Rockets can’t afford to lose 10-11 points each night because of his inability to work this out.

霍華德的確拿下15分、14個籃板，但罰球線上投16僅中5，火箭是打了一場很糟糕的比賽、應該要輸球的，但是，是這消失的11分最終讓他們失去勝利。期望他每場罰球命中率在80-90% 是不可能的，可能每年只會有兩次或三次（也太少了吧哈哈哈），但作為一個比聯盟中其他人還要更長站在罰球線上投球的人，霍華德和火箭禁不起每場失個10-11分，只因為他無法解決這個問題。

 

Kevin McHale loves James Harden pulling the strings, but there’s always a point when it’s a bit too much, especially when his defense this season has been especially atrocious and lazy. It’s one thing being a superstar on a team that does have plenty of offensive weapons. It’s another, quite destructive thing to constantly try and show the world you’re the number one guy, and by that ruining it for others, like it happened too many times late last season for Houston.

麥克海爾喜愛由哈登發動攻擊，但總是會有個時間點，當這件事開始顯得過多，尤其當他本賽季的防守特別的拙劣、又懶惰。他作為一個隊上的巨星、確實有很多進攻武器，這是一回事。不斷地嘗試、展現自己是第一號人物給全世界看、然後因為那樣而毀了其他球員的努力，這是另外一回事，具破壞性的一回事，就像在上個賽季已經發生太多次的事。

 

Jeremy Lin isn’t the best point guard in the NBA, but he’s good enough to help the Rockets look better than they do when Harden just tries to do too much on his own. If Kevin McHale doesn’t see that, the Rockets can expect a bumpier ride than they thought they’d have this season.

林書豪不是NBA當中最好的控衛，但比起當哈登過多執著於個人進攻時的火箭，林已經足夠好到能幫助火箭更上一層樓。如果麥克海爾看不到這點，火箭接下來可以預期是顛簸崎嶇的，而非他們原本以為會有的賽季。
