I am sorry in the delay of my blog, it certainly has been a crazy couple of weeks. I am sure all of you know that we have had some big news with the Rockets. First of all, Tracy McGrady has announced that he will be out the rest of the year with a very complicated microfracture surgery. Tracy has obviously been hurt all year, you can only hope he recovers from this serious surgery.

Many players have undergone this type of surgery. Some players, like Amare Stoudemire and Jason Kidd, have come back successfully while other players have not been so lucky. Hopefully Tracy works hard to rehabilitate his knee after surgery so he can regain his form and become a good player once again.

The Rockets have also traded Rafer Alston to the Orlando Magic for Kyle Lowry and Brian Cook. Rafer was a good point guard for this team and he won many games for us. I know he is happy going to another playoff team and will do well in Orlando. Rafer was always a good teammate to me and I wish him nothing but success.

 
I think that you will quickly become a fan of Kyle Lowry. He is a tough player who you never have to worry about playing hard. He always plays hard. He is a great defensive point guard and is great in the open court. He will be a great addition to this team and I am excited.

We now have two very quick point guards that will push the tempo of the game. Many people are worried that we are too small in the backcourt, but I think both Aaron and Kyle will do a great job for us. I believe that they will create matchup problems much like Tony Parker does against bigger guards in the league.

We have played with great enthusiasm and passion for the last two weeks, consequently, we are playing at a high level. While most people think that our chances of winning big are done now that McGrady is out, I think we are in a position to pleasantly surprise people! Stay tuned!

Many people wanted to know why I am so tan! I had a fantastic All-Star break in Mayakoba, Mexico with my wife and my best friend Indiana Pacer Mike Dunleavy Jr. and his wife Sarah. We had so much fun just relaxing and reading books and magazines by the pool. I tan very easily, so after sitting in the sun for 4 days, you can imagine how dark I became. I love the All-Star break because I come back to the season refreshed and ready to dedicate myself to the team again and focus on winning games. Here are a few pictures from my mini-vacation. I hope you enjoy them.

Talk to you soon,

Shane

很抱歉博客更新得有点慢，因为这几周简直太疯狂了。我相信你们都知道火箭最近重磅消息。首先，麦蒂宣布他将动手术，从而缺席本赛季剩下的比赛。麦蒂已经伤了一整年，你只能希望他尽快康复。

许多球员都做过类似的手术。一些球员恢复得很顺利，比如斯塔德迈尔和基德；另外一些球员就不那么幸运了。希望特雷西手术后能努力恢复，这样他才能重新成为一名优秀球员。

火箭还将拉费尔－阿尔斯通交易到魔术，换回了洛瑞（Kyle Lowry）和库克（Brian Cook）。拉费尔是一名出色的控球后卫，他帮我们赢得了许多比赛。我知道他很开心能够去一支在季后赛大有作为的球队，相信他在奥兰多能干得不错。拉费尔一直都是我的好哥们，我希望他前程似锦。

我相信你们已经迅速成为了洛瑞的球迷。他的球风强悍，你永远也不用担心他比赛是否卖力。他是一名非常出色的防守型控卫，善于打开放式进攻。他的到来对于球队实力是很好的补充，我对此感到高兴。

我们现在拥有了两名速度快的控球后卫，这将加快我们的比赛节奏。许多人都担心我们的后卫线是不是高度不够，我觉得洛瑞和布鲁克斯肯定能干得不错。防守中的对位问题他们也能解决好，就像托尼－帕克遭遇高大后卫时所做的那样。

最近两个星期，我们比赛打得非常有激情和活力，我们的实力也随之提升了。许多人都认为麦蒂赛季报销后，我们的取胜机会也就消失了。我认为我们现在将给大家制造惊喜！请持续关注哦！

许多人都想问我为什么变黑了！因为在全明星周末期间，我带着老婆去墨西哥的Mayakoba度过了一个美妙的周末，根我们一起取得还有步行者队的小麦克－邓利维和他老婆萨拉。我们躺在游泳池边休息和看书。我很容易晒黑，在太阳下坐了4天后，你可以想象我会变得多黑。我喜欢全明星假期，因为它能让我重新振作地回到赛场上，将自己投入到比赛中。我贴了几张度假的照片。希望大家喜欢。

回见！

肖恩
