翻译年轻的火箭队准备起飞

　　The Houston Rockets may not be bound for the playoffs in the Western Conference this season, but Monday＂s win over the Philadelphia 76ers accentuated the team＂s intriguing young players and how better days aren＂t so far away.
　　Guards Kevin Porter Jr. and Jalen Green combined for 51 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Sure, they missed some aggressive shots they should not have attempted, and they can be turnover machines, but they＂re young. They＂re fun to watch and, much of the time, worth relying on for fantasy basketball.
　　休斯顿火箭队本赛季可能无法进入西部季后赛，但周一战胜费城76 人队的比赛凸显了球队的年轻球员的进步以及重建完成并不遥远。
　　后卫小凯文波特。贾伦-格林合砍51分10篮板10助攻。当然，他们做了一些他们不应该尝试的激进投篮，他们可以很多失误，但他们很年轻。他们看起来很有趣，而且大部分时间都值得依赖。
　　No Rockets currently appear among the top 50 options on the Player Rater, and only Porter slips in among the first 50 for points league scoring, but there is an easy case to make that Porter, Green and breakout C Alperen Sengun are worthy top-50 options for fantasy basketball managers drafting new teams today from this point forward.
　　Porter is the best fantasy option of the trio, though it＂s interesting that he didn＂t enter the league as a likely point guard. Cleveland made him a late first-round pick in 2019, but tired of him quickly, moving him to the Rockets. Few took Porter seriously until he dropped 50 points and 11 assists on the Bucks in the final days of his second season, and expectations were great for 2021-22.
　　目前没有火箭球员出现在球员评分的前 50 名选项中，只有波特进入联盟得分前 50 名，但很容易证明波特、格林和进步很大的申京值得进入前50名从现在开始。
　　波特是这三人组中最梦幻的选择，尽管有趣的是他进入联盟时并没有成为一名控球后卫的可能。克利夫兰在 2019 年首轮末尾选择了他，但很快就厌倦了他，将他转会到了火箭队。很少有人认真对待波特，直到他在第二个赛季的最后几天在雄鹿队得到 50 分和 11 次助攻，人们才对他的 2021-22 赛季期望很高。
　　Porter was fine last season, but not a star. He＂s better now, with more efficiency and a more aggressive approach on offense and defense, but this may be the best he can statistically offer. For this season, it＂s enough.
　　Green, the No. 2 pick in the 2021 NBA draft, remains a rather reckless driver and shooter who seems disinterested in doing anything else -- rebounding, passing, defending -- but he＂s only 20. Porter is 22, but it＂s clear Green can still get considerably better.
　　波特上赛季还好，但不是球星。他现在好多了，效率更高，进攻和防守也更有侵略性，但这可能是他在统计上所能提供的最好成绩。对于这个赛季来说，足够了。
　　格林是 2021 年 NBA 选秀的榜眼，他仍然是一个相当鲁莽的突破手和射手，他似乎对做任何其他事情都不感兴趣——篮板、传球、防守——但他只有 20 岁。波特 22 岁，但很明显格林可以仍然会好很多。
　　Green can average 25-plus PPG -- and easily- - when he matures. He gives off a Donovan Mitchell vibe for fantasy. Mitchell is more scorer than playmaker, too, and he keeps improving his outside game. Green is taller and, one of these seasons, will really blossom. He saw enough shots versus Philadelphia to score 27 points, but he also committed seven turnovers.
　　Sengun was a popular breakout pick for this season once the Rockets dumped Christian Wood on Dallas, and the Turkish big man is going to continue making strides as well. The main reason he＂s not scoring more is because Green and Porter take 37% of the team＂s field goals, and Sengun doesn＂t get to the line much.
　　当他成熟时，格林可以场均 25 分以上——而且很容易。他散发出一种多诺万·米切尔的气质。米切尔更像是得分手而不是组织者，而且他一直在改进他的外线效率。格林的上限更高，而且他有成长为球星的潜质。在对阵费城的比赛中，他投篮得分足够多，得到 27 分，但他也犯了 7 次失误。
　　申京是本赛季火箭队在小牛队甩掉伍德后的热门新秀，而这位土耳其大个子也将继续取得长足进步。他得分不多的主要原因是格林和波特占据了全队37%的投篮，而申京的上场时间不多。
　　Sengun remains a bit raw and inconsistent at both court ends. He fouled out Monday, which is no surprise dealing with Joel Embiid, but also looked clunky trying to get shots off in the lane, and in defending them. He had a 19-rebound game against the Thunder two weeks ago, but his performance varies quite a bit from night to night. He should be providing 18 PPG, 12 RPG and 2 BPG. He＂s not there yet.
　　Still, the Rockets player to get most excited about for future seasons is probably none of the above. Yeah, Green and Sengun have another statistical gear in them, but just wait until PF Jabari Smith Jr. figures things out and the team features him offensively.
　　申京在球场两端仍然有点生硬和不稳定。他周一因犯满出场，这在与乔尔·恩比德的比赛中并不令人意外，但在试图在禁区内投篮和防守时看起来很笨拙。两周前他在对阵雷霆队的比赛中拿下了 19 个篮板，但他的表现每晚都有很大差异。他应该提供 18 分、12 板 和 2 盖帽。
　　不过，火箭队未来赛季最令人兴奋的球员可能不是以上任何一位。是的，格林和申京在球队可能只能是二当家或者三当家，等到球队大前小史密斯成熟。球队将在进攻端以他为核心。
　　The No. 3 pick in this past summer＂s draft, Smith looks a bit lost on the court at times, and he rushes the few shots he gets, perhaps for fear he may not get the ball again for a while. The upside is so tantalizing, however. He scored 16 points and added 11 boards against the 76ers, his fourth double-double of the season. The Auburn product is just 19.
　　His shooting and decision-making need work, but good things are coming, though perhaps not this season. He has the instincts to score, board, defend, everything. Green will look like the signature Rocket next year, but Smith＂s overall upside is greater. If you can still get Smith in a keeper/dynasty format, I＂d go for it.
　　作为今年夏天选秀的第3顺位新秀，史密斯在场上有时显得有些迷茫，他几次出手就手忙脚乱，或许是生怕一时半会儿拿不到球。然而，他的潜力是如此诱人。他在对阵 76 人队的比赛中得到 16 分和 11 个篮板，这是他本赛季的第四次两双
　　他的投篮和决策能力需要改进，但好事即将到来，尽管可能不是本赛季。他有得分、抢板、防守等一切的本能。格林明年看起来会像火箭队的招牌，但史密斯的整体上升空间更大。如果你可以得到拥有成熟进攻核防守的史密斯，我肯定会去做的。
　　Enjoy watching the Rockets, as they can score, but they also lead the NBA in turnovers by quite a bit. Green may become a top-40 pick in fantasy drafts next season. Sengun may be the better bargain 40 picks after that. Porter is not a traditional point guard with point guard skills. He can fake it and average 7 APG, but I bet the Rockets look for a better, actual veteran facilitator within two seasons. Smith may not be a top-100 pick next year but letting him fall would be a mistake.
　　The future is bright. Next season should be a blast.
　　喜欢看火箭队，因为他们可以得分，但他们在失误方面也领先联盟。格林可能会成为下赛季前 40 的球员。在那之后，申京可能也会是。波特不是传统控球后卫，有控卫技术。他可以平均每场 7 次助攻，但我敢打赌火箭队会在两个赛季内寻找一个更好的、真正的老将传球手。史密斯明年可能不会成为前 100 的球员，但不培养他将是一个错误。
　　未来是光明的。下个赛季应该会很精彩。 其他的一些想法
　　--Meanwhile in Philadelphia, still sputtering along at the .500 level with no real excuses (everyone deals with injuries), James Harden returned from missing a month with a foot injury and missed 15 of 19 shots, including all eight of his two-point attempts. OK, he was rusty, but he＂s no longer a good shooter. He＂ll end up the No. 3 scorer on this team behind Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Harden may lead the league in APG, though. Four 76ers are rostered in at least 88% of ESPN leagues, then No. 5 Montrezl Harrell (it should be De＂Anthony Melton!) is at 28.3%. Consider moving SF/PF Tobias Harris in trade before Maxey returns and his lofty usage from the past month evaporates. He won＂t get enough shots.
　　——在费城，哈登仍然在命中率50%的水平上挣扎，没有真正的借口（每个人都在处理伤病）， 哈登因脚伤缺席一个月后复出，19 次投篮中有 15 次投失，包括他前八次投篮尝试。好吧，他生疏了，他不再是一个好的射手。他最终将成为这支球队中排名第三的得分手，仅次于恩比德和 泰瑞斯马克西。不过，哈登可能在使用率方面领先联盟。至少 超过联盟88%的球员。考虑在 马克西回归之前将哈里斯交易出去，他过去一个月的崇高使用率消失了。他不会得到足够的镜头。
　　--I admit I don＂t quite know what to make of Los Angeles Lakers PG Dennis Schroder. He＂s been an underrated fantasy option for six years, and he can matter playing alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Schroder averaged 15.4 PPG and 5.8 APG with them in 2020-21, the season after they won the championship. For example, Schroder scored 16 points in 27 minutes in Tuesday＂s loss at Cleveland, but curiously with nary an assist. It＂s such a haphazard offense there. If recent history is a guide and just like Wednesday night, James and Davis have a lot of missed games in their future, and Schroder could thrive.
　　——我承认我不太清楚 洛杉矶湖人队的控球后卫 丹尼斯施罗德是怎样的人。 六年来，他一直是一个被低估的球员，他可以与勒布朗詹姆斯和 安东尼戴维斯并肩作战。施罗德在 2020-21 赛季（他们夺冠后的那个赛季）场均贡献 15.4 分和 5.8 次助攻。例如，在周二输给克利夫兰的比赛中，施罗德在 27 分钟内得到 16 分，但奇怪的是他没有助攻。这可能是一种冒犯。如果以最近的历史为鉴，就像周三晚上一样，詹姆斯和戴维斯在未来会缺席很多比赛，而施罗德可能会茁壮成长。
　　--I stashed Cavaliers PG Ricky Rubio in a deep league just in case he ends up mattering in fantasy come February or March. Rubio tore his ACL last December and really should be close to a return, but now the Cavs boast Mitchell. Would Rubio have a role? Well, doesn＂t he always find a way to get his assists and steals? Yes, he does.
　　--Dallas Mavericks SG/SF Tim Hardaway Jr. can be infuriating for fantasy managers. He＂s a streaky shooter for sure, and when he isn＂t hitting shots, he isn＂t helping a fantasy team with his 2.6 RPG and 2 APG. Now a starter, Hardaway has scored at least 20 points in four of five games, while hitting five or more 3-pointers in five consecutive contests. As a starter he＂s at 21.3 PPG and 49% FG. As a reserve, we all moved on. Better hope he keeps starting.
　　——我把骑士队的卢比奥放在了深度联盟中，以防他在 2 月或 3 月的比赛中变得重要。卢比奥去年 12 月撕裂了他的前交叉韧带，真的应该接近回归，但现在骑士队以米切尔为首。卢比奥会扮演重要角色吗？他不是总能找到办法获得助攻和抢断吗？是的，他有。
　　- 达拉斯独行侠队小哈达威可能会发挥出色。他是一个反复无常的射手，当他不投篮时，他的 2.6 分和 2 助攻 并不能帮助球队。现在是首发球员，哈达威在五场比赛中有四场至少得到 20 分，同时连续五场比赛命中 5 个或更多的三分球。作为首发，他场均 21.3 分，投篮命中率 49%。作为预备队，我们都继续前进。最好希望他继续首发。
　　--Perhaps I＂m alone on this, but one of the highlights of Pistons games for me is when reserve SG Alec Burks enters the game. Remember old Pistons guard Vinnie Johnson, the Microwave? Well, my grandparents report he would come off the bench in the 1980s and just shoot and score, no hesitation. Points per minute is a unique category in one of my deep leagues, and Burks has value. He scored 18 points in 22 minutes Tuesday. He＂s averaging 14.2 PPG in 20.5 MPG. There＂s no conscience here. Shoot, shoot and shoot some more. Gotta respect it.
　　--At the same time, Portland Trail Blazers SG/SF Josh Hart, who I＂ve raved about for two-plus months, does major damage to fantasy teams needing actual scoring without the big minutes. I got laughed at trying to trade Hart in a league recently, but I wasn＂t sure why. Hart is a really good player, averaging 8.5 RPG, 4.2 APG and 1.5 SPG. The rebounds and assists are so valuable, and he has a steal in all but three games this season. There are no swingmen like him and no, the return of Damian Lillard shouldn＂t hurt his production or minutes. Does Hart score a lot? Nope. He is averaging more fantasy points per game than hollow scorers Keldon Johnson, Klay Thompson and RJ Barrett, though.
　　--也许只有我一个人在这方面，但对我来说，活塞队比赛的亮点之一是替补 伯克斯 。还记得老活塞队后卫维尼约翰逊吗？好吧，我的祖父母说他会在 1980 年代替补出场，然后投篮得分，毫不犹豫。每分钟得分是我的一个深度联赛中的一个独特类别，而伯克斯具有价值。周二他在 22 分钟内得到 18 分。他场均 14.2 分，场均 20.5 分钟。绝对良心，对手必须尊重它。
　　--与此同时，波特兰开拓者队的哈特，我对他吹捧了两个多月。最近我试图在联盟中交易哈特时被人嘲笑，但我不确定为什么。哈特是一名非常出色的球员，场均 8.5 个篮板、4.2 个助攻和 1.5 个抢断。篮板和助攻太宝贵了，本赛季除了三场比赛外，他都抢断过一次。没有像他这样的锋味摇摆人，达米安利拉德的回归不应该影响他的表现或上场时间。哈特得分多吗？没有。他每场比赛的平均得分比凯尔登约翰逊、克莱汤普森和RJ 巴雷特还要多， 尽管。
