A perfect display of how dysfunctional this Houston Rockets team can be; 73 points in one half, 19 points in the second. The Oklahoma City Thunder come away with the 104-92 win that was mostly about 3-point shooting and timing, as Jeremy Lin gets left out when his team needed some intelligence on the court, and James Harden tried to save the day but to no avail.
这场比赛完美的演示了这支球队是多么功能失常；上半场73分，下半场19分。104-92，雷霆带走了这场主要关系在三分和时机上的胜利。在球队需要一些场上智慧的时候，林书豪被落下，而哈登尝试扭转局面却无功而返。The warning is always on the wall when a team throws all of its eggs in one basket. Counting on James Harden to win a game on his own, especially with such a negative momentum, is risky, and simply taking the easy way out. This wasn’t a great game for Lin, which usually struggles against the Thunder. He finished scoring 6 points on 2-of-8 from the field, but the Rockets’ best portion of the game (late in the second quarter) came when he was on the court and moving the ball, something that hardly happened in the second half. Kevin McHale took him out late in the third quarter and brought him back in with less than five minutes to play in the fourth, when the Thunder already had a firm grasp on things. The Rockets didn’t really play anything remotely smart to try and change the tide.
一个球队把所有蛋放在一个篮子的做法是必须警戒的。要靠哈登凭一己之力赢得胜利，尤其是在形势不利的情况下是冒险犯难，想要投机取巧而已。这不是林打得很好的比赛，他通常对上雷霆都很挣扎。最后他是8投2中得了6分，但火箭打得最好的时段（第二节结束前）正是他在场而且运行着球的时候，而这个场面在下半场几乎看不到。海尔在第三节后段把他换下，然后在第四节剩下不到五分钟的时候换他上场，这时候雷霆已经掌握胜局了。火箭完全没有一个聪明的对策去改变形势。
So what happened? The shots stopped dropping, the ball stopped moving, while the opposite worked for the Thunder. The Rockets hit 12 3-pointers in the first half and 0 in the second. They scored 10 points in the third quarter, nine in the fourth. James Harden was brought into the game with the Rockets still in the lead, but McHale’s (or Harden’s) decision to play one vs the world once again wasn’t very helpful against the Thunder who were playing their usual brand of excellent fourth quarter defense and hitting on all cylinders offensively.
结果怎样了?球投不进了，也没在传导了，相反的对面的雷霆却都做得到。火箭在上半场投进了12个三分球而下半场一个都没有，他们第三节只得了10分，第四节9分。哈登在火箭还在领先的时候上场，但这时候海尔（或者是哈登自己）又一次的让他一人对抗全世界，但这个决定对雷霆招牌的第四节防守和全面的进攻是毫无胜算的。
The Thunder shot only 6-of-25 from beyond the arc, but all of those 3′s came in the second half. Kevin Durant wasn’t having a good shooting day (not too many of them since Westbrook went down with an injury), but finished scoring 36 points, including 18-of-21 from the line, getting way too much help from the officials. Reggie Jackson with 23 points and a big night from Serge Ibaka (21 points, 15 rebounds, 5 blocks) were there to provide major help.
