I will be touring China this summer

Well friends,

I am sure you have heard by now, the Houston Rockets lost game seven of the first round of the NBA playoffs and we are now eliminated from playoff contention. It was a tough, hard fought series and we just came up a few minutes short of winning game seven and continuing to the second round. It is even tougher to swallow because game seven was in Houston and we couldn't win it at home.

Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams both had big games for the Jazz and we just could not answer. I think that we actually played a good game, but it wasn't enough to beat them.

In the playoffs, you need to play at a level that is higher than the one you played on during the regular season. A veteran once told me that you may think that you are playing as hard as you can (during the playoffs), but you need to play even harder!

It is very disappointing to be done and to have to watch the other teams on television battle for the championship. I will use this disappointment to fuel my drive over the summer and I will come back next fall as a better player. If I let my disappointment drain my motivation and prevent me from working hard, then I am not a winner! You must always continue to improve and strive for championships in life!
Thank you for reading my season blog. I will continue to update you on my life in the summer. It won't be as exciting as the basketball season, but I will have some fun stories of my life outside hoops.
I will also be touring China this summer and I am very excited about that!

Talk to you soon,

Shane

嘿,朋友们

 

我相信你们现在都已经听说了,休斯顿火箭在这赛季的NBA季后赛首轮第七场中输了,我们也因此被淘汰出了季后赛的争夺。这是一个艰苦、高对抗强度的系列赛,而我们就离赢得第七场比赛、并继续挺进第二轮只差几分钟。这场失利更让人难以接受的地方是,第七场比赛是在休斯顿进行的,而我们却没能在家门口赢下这场生死战。

 

卡洛斯-布泽尔和德隆-威廉姆斯都在这场比赛中为爵士作出了突出贡献,而我们却没能找到应对之道。我觉得其实我们这场比赛也打的不错,只不过还没有好到能击败他们的程度。

 

在季后赛中,你必须得发挥出比常规赛时更高的水准。一位联盟中的老将曾跟我说过,你可能觉得你在季后赛中已经尽你所能的去努力了,但事实上,你需要打的更努力才行。

 

我们就这么结束了这个赛季,然后不得不从电视里看着别的球队去为总冠军争夺,确实是件让人很失望的事情。我将会以这种失望为动力,去度过这个夏天。然后,我会在秋天的时候重新回来,并会让自己变得更出色。如果我让这种失望的情绪降低我前进的动力,或者令我不再努力训练的话,那我永远不会成为胜利者。你在生活中必须得持续不断的取得进步,并且要一直保持对冠军的渴望。

 

谢谢大家来看我的赛季博客,我会继续保持更新,告诉你们我在夏天的生活。或许这并不会像赛季进行时的那么令人激动,不过我在篮球之外,生活中同样有很多有意思的故事。

 

另外,这个夏天我还会到中国来访问,对此我感到非常兴奋。

 

回头再聊吧。

 

肖恩
