February 20 再来一篇长的：火箭降伏骑士延续九连胜累死老子了，第一次翻译这么长的文章，整整两千多字啊~~~ 不过还是物所超值的~~~哈哈，下部开始逐步中译英了，(*^__^*) 嘻嘻……
先上译文：
英文原文： Feb. 19, 2008, 10:19PM CLEVELAND – The Rockets came in with a solid, if somewhat delusional strategy. “The game plan,” Shane Battier revealed, “was to hope (LeBron James) had a good time in New Orleans,” The Rockets did not plan on both teams clanging their way around as if every Rockets and Cavaliers player had all made the All-Star game and were stuck on Bourbon Street. The Rockets, however, still believe that if a game is to be decided by defense, they will happily count on theirs. So they tightened their defensive clamps around the often-fragile Cleveland Cavaliers offense until they blew open the game in the fourth quarter, handling the Cavs, 93-85, on Tuesday to stretch their road winning streak to nine games, matching the franchise record. The win was the Rockets’ ninth-consecutive overall, the longest active streak in the NBA and matching the Rockets’ longest since the 1998-99 season. They haven’t have had a longer streak since 1993-94, the first championship season. The past seven opponents failed to score 90, moving within one game of the Rockets longest run ever holding opponents to fewer than 90 points. “I don’t think we get as much hype about our defense as we did last year, but we think we’re a pretty solid defensive team,” said Rockets forward Shane Battier after keeping James under control most of the night. “When we clamp in and concentrate, we can do some really nice things on defense.” James finished with 26 points with 13 rebounds and 11 rebounds. But he made just 7 of 18 shots, even with consecutive 3s in the final minutes after the Rockets led by 16. He was 0 for 7 in the first half. Even with their late flurry of scoring, the Cavaliers made just 37.5 percent of their shots. For most of the night, however, the Rockets were not much better. Tracy McGrady had 17 points, adding eight assists. Yao Ming had 16 with 14 rebounds. But McGrady combined to make 9 of 38 shots. Heading into the fourth quarter, the Rockets were making 39 percent of their shots and going against the team with the most fourth-quarter comebacks in the NBA this season, and with the leading fourth-quarter scorer. That’s when the Rockets took over and were never challenged again. “What we’re developing on this team is a team like the Pistons,” McGrady said. “Great defensive team, going out there, playing together and not really relying on one of two people to score the rock. What we really care about is playing great defense and just playing together and it showed.” Actually, the Rockets did rely on one scorer, but it was not their All-Star or former All-Star. Rafer Alston made 8 of 15 shots, leading the Rockets with 22 points and adding six assists. In the winning streak, he has averaged 15 points on 43.6 percent shooting, and 7.3 assists. “I have some unbelievable teammates because they understand I’m in a rhythm in this stretch of games and they encourage me to continue to shoot the ball,” Alston said. “It helps to have two superstars that draw so much attention that I’m wide open. In years past I’ve been inconsistent in helping them out by consistently knocking down the shot. I’m knocking them down consistently in this stretch of wins.” The Cavaliers sent double teams to Yao and crowded the lane on McGrady. That was nothing new. But rarely have the Rockets needed Alston – and the boost they got from Luis Scola and Carl Landry combining for 23 points with 14 rebounds – more than Tuesday. “Rafer’s playing unbelievable,” said McGrady, who has made 23 of 73 shots in his past five games. “With my offense now, I’m struggling. I’m struggling with my shot. I don’t know what’s going on with me offensively. With Rafer playing so well and other guys playing so well, it’s really a great feeling to have all the pressure on you offensively. I suck right now. I get it going every now and then, but through the course of the game, I suck.” He did get a brief surge late in the third quarter, scoring the Rockets final six points to head into the fourth with a seven-point lead. The Rockets took off from there, scoring 19 points in a span of five minutes to end the third and start the fourth quarters, rushing the lead to 79-66. Their defense took it from there, having carried the Rockets most of the way, already. February 06 再来一篇火箭笔记：Landry coming into his own终于接了一篇了，兴奋啊，马上翻译了~发表在hoopchina了，不知道通过审核没有哦。。。。
英文原文：
Feb. 5, 2008, 11:10PM By JONATHAN FEIGEN Landry growing Though his play was more steady than explosive, Rockets rookie Carl Landry continued to play a significant role down the stretch during the Rockets' 92-86 win Monday at Minnesota.
Landry played all but 27 seconds of the fourth quarter, scoring six of his 13 points and getting three of his seven rebounds. "We got different guys at my position that can play at any time," Landry said. "Luis Scola is a great player, as you can see. Chuck Hayes is one of the best defenders in this league. Fortunately, I was called upon to finish this game. "I feel like I'm growing. (Monday), I felt like I grew. Every film session, every practice, with the guys on this team, the veterans, the coaching staff, I'm growing. By coach putting me out there, I felt I got a little bit better as a player." Winning habit The Rockets have won eight of nine games and 13 of 16, but most have been decided in the final minutes. Rockets' missteps along the way often made the games tighter than they should have been.
But after blowing a 10-point, fourth-quarter lead before pulling out Monday's win in Minneapolis, they said getting the wins one way or another can lead to more victories. "I think winning becomes a habit," Shane Battier said, "if you can get that mind-frame that 'we haven't played our best, but if we can turn it up here, we can pull this game out.' If you can develop that habit, it's a good thing." 翻译：
Feb. 5, 2008, 11:10PM By JONATHAN FEIGEN 兰德里的成长
尽管他在比赛中显得非常有侵略性但是却又非常稳定，在星期一火箭以92-86战胜明尼苏达森林狼的比赛中，新秀兰德里作为板凳的一员发挥了显著的作用。
兰德里在第四节的27秒内，得到了他全场13分中的6分，并且抢到了他全场七个篮板中的三个。
在我的位置上，我们队伍拥有不同的队员，他们在任何时候都能打得很好，”兰德里说道，“正如你们看到的那样，路易斯-斯科拉是一个出色的球员。查克-海耶斯是这个联盟里最好的防守者之一。很幸运，我被吩咐去终结比赛。”
“我感觉到我正在进步。（星期一），我喜欢我的进步。和大伙在一起的每次训练，每次练习，在老兵们和教练组的帮助下我正在成长。教练把我放在场上，这让我感觉我是一个越来越好的球员，”
让获胜成为习惯
火箭队取得了九场比赛中的八场以及16场比赛中的13场胜利，但是许多比赛都是在最后几分钟才决定胜负的。火箭的屡投不中让本来应该轻松的比赛变得非常艰难。
但是在星期一赢得对明尼苏达森林狼的比赛中，直到在第四节连得十分后这才确立了比赛的胜利，赛后队员们说，丰富我们获胜的手段能够让我们赢取更多的比赛
“我想获胜正在成为一种习惯“，沙恩-巴蒂尔说道，“就算你仍然认为这不是我们最好表现，但是如果我们能立即转变，我们依然能赢得比赛。”“如果你能延续这种习惯，那么最好。”

Comfortable on roadThe Rockets' 92-86 victory over the Timberwolves gave them an eight-game winning streak on the road, matching their second longest in franchise history.During the 1996-97 season, from Nov. 2-30, 1996, they also won eight consecutive road games. In the 1993-94 season, from Nov. 7-Dec. 2, 1993, they won a franchise-record nine consecutive games on the road. "We know we can play on the road," Rockets guard Tracy McGrady said. "We know how good we are on the road. At home is what we have to take care of. That's what we need to really focus in on. We know we have great confidence playing on the road. We're real comfortable playing on the road. We know we can win in any building. The way we played on the road, that same focus, let's do that at home." The Rockets' previous seven-game winning streak came in the playoffs during the 1995 championship run. But this streak, the players said, could be an important part of getting back to the playoffs. "Whenever you win eight straight on the road, whether you're playing the best team or the worst team, road wins are key to your pursuit of trying to make the playoffs," Rockets guard Rafer Alston said. "You have to win your share on the road." The Rockets' remaining four games before the All-Star break — Feb. 7 vs. Cleveland, Feb. 9 vs. Atlanta, Feb. 10 vs. New Jersey and Feb. 13 vs. Sacramento — are at Toyota Center.
Super fun for teamFor years, if the Rockets were on the road on Super Bowl Sunday, Rockets trainer Keith Jones put together watch parties only to have a few players make brief appearances. This season, Jones said most of the team attended from start to finish, and he did not think it was just because the game was close. "That's typical of this team," Jones said. "We have good chemistry with the guys. The game happened to be good, but I think the guys just all get together and hang out." Rafer Alston said that most of the team, with the exception of Shane Battier and broadcaster Bill Worrell, pulled for the Giants, who won 17-14 to end New England's bid for an unbeaten season, but that New Yorkers Mike James and security director Butch Grant were particularly "obnoxious." "It was good to get together and watch the Super Bowl," said Alston, who is a New Yorker but a Cowboys fan. "I enjoyed myself. This group, we love being around each other. We have a lot of laughter, a lot of practical jokes we play on each other." 火箭笔记 舒适的客场之旅 By JONATHAN FEIGEN
火箭以92比86战胜森林狼让他们客场八连胜，这是他们球队历史上第二长的客场连胜记录 在1996-97赛季，从1996年的11月2日到30日，他们同样获得了客场八连胜，在1993-94赛季，从1993年的11月7日到12月2日，他们获得了球队历史上创纪录的客场九连胜。 我们知道我们能在客场打好的。”火箭的后卫特雷西-麦克格雷迪说道，“我们知道在客场我们打得很好。在主场打球我们得必须特别小心。所以我们得格外集中注意力。我们知道在客场我们得充满信心才行，在客场我们打得非常舒服。我们知道我们能在任何情况下获得胜利。我们要保持这种在客场这种集中的注意力，并把它带到主场来。” 火箭队最近的一个七连胜发生在1995年季后赛夺冠的那个赛季。但是队员们说，这次的连胜对于球队重返季后赛有着重要的作用 “无论你什么时候获得客场八连胜，无论你是在一个好队伍还是差的队伍打球，客场获胜对于你努力进入季后赛都有着重要的作用”火箭后卫拉弗-阿尔斯通如此说道“，”在客场你必须做好你的本职工作”（555这句不知道翻译到位没有….） 在全明星赛之前火箭队还有四场比赛，分别是2月7日对克利夫兰，2月9日对亚特兰大，2月10日对新西兰，以及2月13日对沙克门托——都是在丰田中心进行。 非常有趣的队伍 以前，如果是火箭的客场而又有超级碗的星期日的比赛，火箭的训练师基恩-琼斯会把大家召集起来看比赛，但通常只有一部分球员会出现。这个赛季，琼斯说大部分的球员都会从头看到尾，同时他不认为这仅仅是赛程密集的原因。 “这就是我们团队的特别之处” 琼斯说道，“我们大伙之间有着很好的化学作用。比赛因此变得更好，但是我认为这是因为我们大家经常在混在一起并且相处愉快。” 拉弗-阿尔斯通说队里大部分的人，除了沙恩-巴蒂尔和广播员比尔-沃尔沃，都喜欢Giants，这个以17比14终结了New England 本赛季的不败金身队伍，但是纽约人麦克詹姆斯以及安全主管Butch Grant 却特别的“不高兴”。 “聚在一起看超级碗的感觉真棒”阿尔斯通说，他本人是纽约人却是一个牛仔迷。“我很享受自己在这个队伍里的感觉。在队伍里我们互相关爱，我们有很多笑料，我们也经常互相开玩笑。”
