For the second straight game, the Houston Rockets got a spectacular
offensive performance from Jeremy Lin.

連續第二場，休士頓火箭隊從林書豪身上得到了出色的進攻表現。


For the second straight game, they blew a double-figure fourth quarter lead.

連續第二場，他們也搞砸了兩位數的第四節領先。


For the second straight game, they allowed the opposition to his a
game-tying 3-pointer in the waning seconds.

連續第二場，他們在最後關頭讓對方命中了追平的三分球。


They could not come up with the win for a second straight game,
falling in overtime to the Philadelphia 76ers, 123-117.

但他們無法連續第二場搶回勝利，在延長賽以123-117輸給了費城七六人隊。


The loss drops the Rockets to 5-4 on the season and they get right back
to the court Thursday night in New York when they face the Knicks.
That will wrap up the Rockets third set of back-to-back games this season,
so far they are 1-2 in the first game, and 2-0 in the second game.




Lin poured in 34 points, the second highest total of his career and
also added 12 assists, a season high. He made 9-of-15 3-pointers,
easily topping his career best of five makes set last season.

林書豪灌注了生涯次高的34分，還添上了本季新高的12次助攻。
他三分球投15中9，輕鬆把他上季單場5次三分球的生涯紀錄再往上推高。


The nine 3-pointers also tied the Rockets record for most 3-pointers
made in a game. Robert Horry hit nine against at Cleveland against
the Cavaliers on Feb. 22, 1996.

這九顆三分球也打平了火箭隊的單場最多三分球記錄，
由Robert Horry在1996年二月二十二日於克里夫蘭對戰騎士隊所創。


“I think everybody works on their shot,” Jeremy Lin said.
“I’ve been trying to get better at it. I want to get better at it."

林書豪說：「我想每個人都有在投籃上下功夫，我做了很多努力，我想要變得更好。」


But he, like the rest of the team, had a scoring drought in the
fourth quarter. Lin missed his only two shots, both 3-pointers,
and did not score in the fourth quarter.

不過就像隊上的其他人一樣，他的得分在第四節陷入乾旱期。
林書豪投失了他的頭兩球，都是三分，並且在第四節一分未得。


“I wasn’t tired (in the fourth quarter). I was fine.
I have to find a way to be more effective out there, especially
with the game on the line,” Lin said. "I normally relish the
fourth quarter, love the fourth quarter, and I needed to find a way tonight.”

林書豪說：「(在第四節)我並未疲累，我很好，我必須找到更有效率的打法，
特別是在比賽膠著的時候。我通常很享受第四節、很愛第四節，
而我今晚需要找到方法。」


The Rockets had a 10-point lead, their largest of the game,
with 9:18 remaining, but were outscored 24-14 the rest of the fourth quarter.

火箭隊在剩下9分18秒時還有著本場比賽最大幅度的10分領先，
但在第四節的剩下時間李他們被打出一波24-14的攻勢。


“We get an eight, nine, 10-point lead and we don’t play the
same type of basketball,” Rockets head coach Kevin McHale said.

火箭隊的總教練Kevin McHale說：「我們有著八分、九分、十分的領先，
然後我們就不打和之前打一樣風格的籃球了。」


“We started off so badly defensively,” McHale said.
“They got everything they wanted so they had some momentum.

麥克海爾說：「我們一開始就沒做好防守，他們輕鬆得分，
所以讓他們得到了一些動力。」


“We got some stops, got a little lead a couple times,
stretched it out a little bit, but we just couldn’t maintain anything.
That has kind of been the story of our year, the whole year.”

「我們阻擋過對方幾次，也小幅領先過幾次，把領先延長了些，但我們沒有堅持
做好任何事，這狀況有點像是我們這一整年的寫照。」


It has certainly been the story in the last two contests.
They had a 12-point lead against Toronto on Monday night with
under seven minutes remaining, but ended up in overtime, too.

這確實是前兩場比賽的寫照沒錯，他們在週一晚間對戰多倫多的時候，
終場前七分鐘還有著12分的領先，但是最後一樣打入延長賽。


On both nights, the Rockets were mere seconds away from
putting the game away but allowed game-tying 3-pointers in both instances.
On Monday, Toronto’s Rudy Gay hit a 3-pointer with less than
one second remaining with Chandler Parsons draped all over him to
force a second overtime.

在這兩個晚上，火箭隊都在快把勝利收入口袋之前讓對方投進了追平三分球。
在星期一，多倫多的Rudy Gay在Chandler Parsons的防守下，
在剩下不到一秒鐘的狀況下投進了三分球，也把比賽逼入了第二次延長。


On Wednesday, it was former Rocket James Anderson’s turn for the theatrics.
Anderson pumped in a career high 36 points and he nailed the
game-tying 3-pointer with 6.6 seconds remaining and Jeremy Lin
draped all over him.

星期三，輪到前火箭隊球員James Anderson的表演，他狂灌生涯新高的36分並且
在比賽剩下6.6秒鐘的時候，在林書豪的防守下投進追平三分球。


“I’ve got to go back and watch, but I was pretty sure I was all over him,”
 Lin said. “Rudy Gay hit one last game, James Anderson hit one this game.
Sometime you just have to tip your hat off to them.

林書豪說：「我得回去看視頻，但我確定我對到他了。」上一場比賽Rudy Gay
投進一個，這場比賽James投進一個，有時候你就是得佩服他們。


“But at the same time, we shouldn’t have been in that
position in the first place.”

「不過，我們一開始就不該把自己放在那個狀況下的。」
