超越科比 我們還能怎麼吹哈登?

The Rockets had lost three of their previous five games entering Monday, and MRI results revealed ligament damage in Capela's right thumb that sources say will need to be surgically repaired. With guards Eric Gordon (knee contusion) and Chris Paul (hamstring strain) still out, the Rockets' spirits easily could have sagged.

本場比賽之前。火箭已經輸掉5場比賽中的三場，而更加糟糕的是，核磁共振結果顯示卡佩拉右拇指韌帶損傷需要手術修復，加上戈登(膝蓋撞傷)，保羅(腿筋拉傷)缺陣，剛剛升空的火箭似乎又要墜落。

Harden didn't let that happen, scoring two-thirds of Houston's points in the first half while D'Antoni tinkered with the rotation, quickly opting to play small lineups when 36-year-old fill-in starting center Nene Hilario rested.

但哈登顯然不想讓這一切發生，在36歲的首發中鋒內內下場休息後，德安東尼當機立斷選擇用小陣容維持球隊運轉，於是我們看到哈登半場轟下球隊2/3的得分。

Harden indeed entered rare air with his 17th consecutive game scoring at least 30 points. It's the longest such streak since Wilt Chamberlain had 20 straight 30-plus-point performances in 1964. The only other players with streaks of 16 straight 30-point games since Chamberlain were Kobe Bryant in 2003 and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1972.

哈登連續17場比賽得分30+是NBA罕見的水平，這是自1964年張伯倫連續20場得分30+的最高記錄，除此之外，只有2003年科比和1972年賈巴爾連續16場的紀錄可以比肩。

Harden hit the 50-point milestone for the third time this season and 12th time in his career, passing 50 points on an and-1 step-back 3-pointer over Grizzlies forward JaMychal Green. The only players in NBA history who have more 50-point games are Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, Bryant, Elgin Baylor and Rick Barry. LeBron James also has 12 50-point performances.

哈登面對灰熊前鋒格林的防守，用一記標誌性後撤步三分邁過50分大關，這是登哥本賽季第3次50+得分秀，同時也是其職業生涯的的第12次，在NBA歷史上比登哥50＋還多的也就這麼幾位了:張伯倫，邁克爾·喬丹，科比，埃爾金·貝勒，裏克·巴里，詹姆斯也就"僅僅"12次罷了。

"What he just did, we kind of take it for granted a little bit," said D'Antoni, "It's like, 'Oh, look at that, isn't that cute? It's 57!' I mean, on dead legs and he played 43 minutes last night. It's beyond impressive. It's rare that people can do what he's done, if anybody."

"他今天的表現，我們都習以爲常了，"德安東尼談到，"該怎麼形容呢，這就像，蒼了個天啊，這表現還不厲害？這可是57分吶！"我的意思是，這是他拖着傷腿43分鐘交出的數據。這表現超乎你想象，這表現還有誰！"

"The win was important," Harden said. "I've got to get some rest tomorrow and be ready to go Wednesday. Same thing."

"這場勝利很重要，"哈登說到。"我們明天要好好休息以準備週三的比賽，生活都是如此罷了。"
