Rockets fall to Pacers as losing streak hits six

INDIANAPOLIS – As has become their norm, the Rockets fell far back and then
made a comeback. They have covered that ground so often, they know the way.

They also know as strategies go, theirs rarely work, and would not work twice.

The Rockets came back from their huge first-half deficit to close within three.
But after dropping back by 15 again, they could not make another run last
before the Pacers brushed them aside, 105-95, Friday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

在溜馬主場，火箭隊又再一次的上演老戲碼，"苦苦追分"
曾經一度追趕到落後三分，但被溜馬拉開到15分差後，就再也無力追趕

The Rockets’ season-long losing streak reached six games heading into their
fourth game in five nights in Minnesota. The Pacers took their 11th-consecutive
home win.

火箭迎來本季最多的六連敗，接下來他們要去灰狼主場
挑戰五天以來的第四戰

The Rockets, as has been their custom, rallied back from their 16-point deficit
to within a bucket. Another fade dropped them behind by 12, but they still had
time to make another run. But on consecutive possessions, Asik had his fifth
turnover and Harden picked up his sixth.

Paul George nailed a 3-pointer to push the lead back to 15, leaving the Rockets
5:20 to make a run.
Carlos Delfino kept them in the game, scoring 12 points in the final five
minutes. With 1:46 left, Harden put in a pair of free throws, cutting the lead
to seven. But the Pacers called time out and quickly put the game away. Roy
Hibbert sank a jumper. Harden missed a 3. And George Hill put in a pair of free
throws to ice it.

火箭，依如往常的從大幅落後開始急起直追
曾經一度有機會打出一波攻勢

但在阿西發生第五次及鬍子的第六次失誤之後
波就舉投進三分球，把分差拉開到15，此時只剩5:20秒

在最後的五分鐘內
屌飛龍的三分無雙加上哈登終於買到犯規
追到落後七分

不過，溜馬很快叫了暫停，然後結局就如同大家看到的一樣

In many ways, it was a surprise the Rockets were in the game that long. Harden
made just 5 of 19 shots with five of the Rockets turnovers. The Pacers,
averaging 6.4 3s per game, went 5 of 8 in first quarter. Paul George hit more
3s – connecting on 7 of 10 to score 31 points – than the Pacers average per
game. The Rockets’ power forwards, Marcus Morris and Patrick Patterson,
combined to go 1 of 13 with two rebounds between them.

其實火箭可以把比賽咬住還蠻令人驚訝的

哈登5-19，還有5次失誤
每場平均只有6.4顆三分球的溜馬，第一節就八投五中
波就舉更是砍進七顆三分，得到31分

With Omer Asik scoring a season-high 22, Harden’s run of leading the Rockets
in scoring in games he has played ended at 20.

阿西砍下單季最高的22分，而哈登的連續場次二十分紀錄中斷

As with Wednesday’s loss in Dallas, the Rockets were perilously turnover prone
in the first quarter, committing eight on their way to another double-digit
deficit, this time trailing by 16. As with the game in Dallas, they took care
of the ball in the second quarter, launched a comeback to within a bucket and
then faded late.

They trailed Dallas by 14 and by six at halftime, but unlike that game, the
Rockets started the second half well. They cut a seven-point Indiana lead to
three with Harden twice finding Asik inside.

簡直就像對小牛隊的比賽重播，"瘋狂失誤，兩位數的落後，然後苦追"
下半場開始曾經一度將比分拉近到七分

The Rockets, however, went through another of their now familiar offensive
funks, going six minutes in which their only bucket was an off-balance
3-pointer that Harden threw in while fouled by George. That long “fog,” as
Harden has called some of the Rockets’ spells, was enough for the Pacers to
march through a 15-4 run to a 16-point lead.

然後，火箭隊又再一次開始熟悉的進攻恐懼症
六分鐘內唯一的得分是哈登的四分打
被溜馬拉出一波15-4的攻勢，再度落後16分

The Rockets had, as they have throughout the slide, erased one hefty lead. When
they faced another long road back, they needed one comeback more than they
could muster.

火箭隊，目前實在太需要一場勝利去重振士氣了


心得: 這篇文章完全沒有提到LIN耶 XDDD 看來他低調的很徹底
