Houston Rockets – James Harden Forgets About Jeremy Lin & Teammates
休士頓火箭 — 哈登無視林與其他隊友的存在

If anyone needed more proof that the Houston Rockets are playing the wrong kind of basketball to succeed or even stand a chance in the NBA playoffs, came Game 1 of their series vs the Thunder, and the continuing approval from Kevin McHale for James Harden to do whatever he wants on the court while forgetting about Jeremy Lin or any other of his teammates is making this look like a clean, cold, painful sweep in the making.
火箭想在季後賽大放異彩或保住一線生機的希望，正因誤入歧途而岌岌可危，對雷霆的系列賽首戰已提供了足夠的佐證。而冰箱(Kevin McHale)一再地放任哈登在場上為所欲為，無視JLIN和其他隊友的存在，讓火箭看來將難逃冰冷痛苦的橫掃(sweep)厄運。

Harden did look like the only player functioning offensively, finishing with 20 points in his 34 minutes, compared to the 4 Jeremy Lin had in a similar stretch. But Harden went 6-19 from the field, putting his head down and trying to make everything happen only by his doing. He made 2-of-15 field goal attempts in half-court sets and 4-4 in transitions. He made 1-of-8 shots in isolation, which is his specialty, making it 20% in isolation plays in the three losses to the Thunder this season, the best team in the NBA when it comes to stopping isolation plays.
在進攻上，哈登確實看起來像是唯一給力的球員，上場34分鐘攻下20分，而JLIN在類似的時間只得4分。但是哈登全場19投僅6中，從頭到尾自己悶著頭打，在半場的陣地戰中，出手15次進2球，攻守轉換方面4球全進。他擅長的個人單打則是8投1中，對上NBA防守單打最有效的雷霆，在本季火箭輸的三場球中，哈登的單打命中率只有2成。

More Harden? A drive is a touch in a half court possession that starts at least 20 feet away from the basket and ends within 10 feet of the basket. How well did Harden do on those? 8 points on 11 drives and failing to set up his teammates for any made baskets. Never once looking up, never once looking sideways, Harden decided that winning this game on his own, showing the Oklahoma City crowd they should be missing him, is what he’ll do, and failed miserably.
更多哈登？「突破」(drive) 是一種半場進攻打法：始於離籃框至少20英呎外，終於距籃框10英呎內，在這方面哈登表現如何？他突破11次得8分，但無任何讓隊友進球的助攻，也沒有任何一次抬頭或轉頭尋找隊友的蹤影，哈登決定要靠他個人力拔山兮來贏球，讓雷霆球迷重啟對他的懷念，但最終下場淒慘。

The depth and severity of the problem can be seen by his comments and worse, Kevin McHale, who clearly seems to be out of touch of what’s really good for this team, instead simply seeing the number #13 and a bunch of helpers who should be doing everything they can in order to make this selfish style work. No wonder the Rockets lost by 29 points.
從哈登賽後的發言，足以看出問題的縱深度與嚴重性，而冰箱的話更有如「雪上加霜」。他似乎跟如何能真正造就這支球隊完全脫節，反而只是眼睜睜地看著背號13號，加上一群竭盡所能，讓這種自私球風得以運作的助手們，也難怪火箭會慘敗29分。

First, the coach – James, on this team, has to shoulder a ton of responsibilities for us and he’s been great all year long. He’s had an all-pro type of year. He’ll play better, just like everybody. We ask him to do an awful lot for us; handle the ball, score the ball, pass the ball, make plays. I think that he had it going there for a little bit, but it wasn’t James. It was us in general as a team. We never really caught a flow at all tonight.
(注：賽後發言)
首先，冰箱教練：「登登，在本隊，必須肩負起千斤重擔，他一整季下來都表現傑出，全明星等級，他跟所有人一樣會打得更好。我們賦予他很多重任：持球、得分、傳球、助攻，我想比賽中有一段時間他很得心應手，但不能只靠他，更要全隊將士用命，今晚我們從頭到尾都很不順。」

This just tells you it isn’t going to change. McHale doesn’t trust or doesn’t want to trust others on his team, feeling it was Harden alone that got the Rockets into the playoffs for the first time in four seasons. He may be right – the Rockets are there mainly because of the talented scorer, but he couldn’t have done it on his own.
看來真是積重難返，冰箱不信任或不想信任其他隊員，認為單憑哈登就讓火箭4年來首次打進季後賽，冰箱也許沒錯 — 哈登的得分才華確實居功厥偉，但光靠他一人並不足以成大局。

Harden himself shows just how delusional the situation is – We didn’t have a rhythm as a team. I felt like it was basically one on five every time. Believe it or not, I think this was good for us,” Harden said. “Losing like this was definitely good for us. Now we know how to play.
哈登的話更突顯現況有多荒謬 — 「整個球隊節奏失衡，每次進攻基本上都像是一對五，我想這場球對我們是好事，『至於你信不信，我反正是信了』，」哈登說，「這樣慘敗對我們絕對會起正面作用，現在我們知道該怎麼打。」

Maybe the ability of Patrick Beverly (on a night like this, 11 points and 4 assists while losing by 18 during his time on the floor) is something to grasp on, which might mean less minutes for Lin in game 2. But the Rockets won’t be getting any closer to the much better Thunder if this mockery of an offensive scheme, not to mention the helplessness on defense, continues. Harden may be the talent and star power of this franchise, but he’s not the answer to everything.
也許小貝的能力(在像這樣的比賽11分4助攻，而場上正負值則為-18)是可以好好把握的一點，意謂著林在第二場的時間將減少，但是如果這種離譜的進攻戰術，更不用提防守上的無藥可救，一直持續下去的話，火箭想要拉近與實力遠勝他們的雷霆之間的距離，將會是不可能的任務。哈登也許是火箭天賦最高與星光最盛的球員，但他並不是萬靈丹。
