Is it time for the Rockets to sit James Harden? http://tinyurl.com/lt67vwh
對火箭來說是時候讓鬍子Harden休息了嗎??

HOUSTON -- James Harden stood in front of his locker awaiting questions from
reporters about his performance Tuesday night against the Golden State
Warriors. It was a long night for him, but the grey wrap on his left wrist
made more of a statement than anything else.
賽後鬍子站在他休息室鐵櫃前等著記者們來訪問關於他今晚對戰勇士的表現.
這對鬍子來說是個漫漫長夜, 但包覆在他左腕上的彈巾說明了一切

Harden has been playing with a jammed left wrist, and for the first time
since he suffered the injury March 18, he admitted it's bothering him.
鬍子已經帶著這左腕傷勢比賽了好幾場, 他今天首次承認這傷勢困擾著他

"It's pretty tough, man, I'm not going to lie," said Harden, who has played
in all 74 of the Rockets' games this season. "I don't like to feel sorry for
myself at all, but just the shot is short and frustrating when you can't
really follow through and whatnot. I'm going to continue to go out there and
do my best, and honestly, we gave ourselves a chance -- not making 3s, we
still fought fought, fought. We cut it to six and they hit some big shots."
本季目前74場全勤的鬍子說:"這真的很艱難, 我並不想對此說謊, 我也完全沒替自己覺
得抱歉, 但今晚的出手就是短了些, 當我無法克服這點打好比賽的種種時真的很沮喪,
但我還是會持續的上場打出我最好的表現, 另外老實說, 今晚我們確實有做出努力讓我
們有過機會, 投不進三分但我們還是持續拼鬥拼鬥再拼鬥, 曾經把差距縮小到只剩六分
但可惜勇士命中了些關鍵球"

The Warriors led from start to finish in a 113-106 victory. The Rockets were
down 17 after one quarter, failing to make adjustments on the defensive end
as the Warriors got easy looks at the basket on cuts into the lane and hit
open shots.
勇士今晚從頭領先到結束, 火箭第一節曾落後過17分, 無法做出有效的防守調整, 讓勇士
利用切入得到很多輕鬆出手的機會並命中許多空檔出手

The Rockets didn't help matters, shooting 5-for-31 from 3-point range, tying
a season-low in made 3s. For the game, Houston shot just 38.8 percent from
the field. Harden had an off night from the field, his first in a while,
making just 5 of his 20 shot attempts. He still finished with a
triple-double, though, recording 24 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds. He
became the first player in league history to score 2,000 points and produce
2,000 points on assists in a single season.
火箭今晚沒能打出手感, 三分球出手31僅中5, 平了本季三分命中最低紀錄
火箭團隊命中率僅38.8%, 鬍子也是許久以來第一次熄火, 出手20僅中5
但鬍子今晚還是繳出了大三元表現24分/13助/1板
並成了聯盟有史以來首位單季2000分 + 助攻隊友得2000分的球員

Harden's quest for the MVP has been established; now it's up to the voters to
evaluate his season against those of Russell Westbrook, Isaiah Thomas, Kawhi
Leonard and LeBron James.
鬍子問鼎本季MVP已浸浸然成型, 只看投票者如何衡量他跟其他競爭者本季的表現了
