Hornets-Mavericks Preview Led by a stifling defense, the New Orleans Hornets are the last unbeaten team in the NBA. To extend their start, they'll need an especially impressive effort given the way they've struggled offensively on the road against their next opponent. The Hornets look to snap a three-game losing streak in Dallas as they visit the Mavericks on Monday night in the first game of a home-and-home series between two of the league's top defensive teams. 纽奥良黄蜂队，是NBA本季唯一保持不败金身的球队，靠的就是他们窒息式的防守。 要延续连胜，他们得加强的是在达拉斯难以施展的攻击力。黄蜂希望终止在达拉斯 的三连败，小牛跟黄蜂这两支防守强队将在明天与大後天展开连续交手的第一战。 New Orleans (8-0) continued its outstanding start to the season with a 107-87 win over Portland on Saturday. It was the third straight game an opponent failed to reach 90 points. For the season, the Hornets are allowing 89.8 per game -- second-fewest in the NBA behind Milwaukee. "Defense is where we want to make our staple," said David West, who scored 18 points. "We are really drilling and really working and doing what we have to do in terms of preparation. We've been able to execute the game plan defensively from start to finish." 黄蜂昨天拿下开季八连胜，以107-87痛打拓荒者，他们连续三场把对手得分压在90 以下，黄蜂本季的平均失分只有89.8分，在联盟仅落後给公鹿。David West说： "防守是我们的注册商标，我们努力的训练，在准备上下了很多的工夫，我们也整场 都很成功的执行赛前的防守计画。" New Orleans also topped 100 points for the fourth time, matching its season-high output. The Hornets have all five starters averaging in double figures, led by Chris Paul, who is scoring 17 points to go along with 10.3 assists per game. "We know our offense is going to come," said Trevor Ariza, who had 10 points. "We've got players here that can score with the basketball." They'll hope to carry that over to Dallas, where they have lost three straight and 16 of 17 while averaging 89.7 points. Paul, though, has averaged 27.4 points in his last five games there. 黄蜂目前也连续四战得分破100，是本季新高，队上五位先发球员平均得分都在10分 以上，得分王是Chris Paul，他平均每场有17分10.3助攻的成绩。Trevor Ariza说： "我知道们的进攻迟早会来的，我们有很多有进攻能力的球员。"黄蜂希望能把这样的 表现带到达拉斯，他们在这里吞下三连败，最近17次作客更是输了16场，平均只能得 到89.7分，然而Paul最近在达拉斯的五次出赛平均可以拿下27.4分。 The Mavericks (6-2) have also been impressive on defense, holding opponents to 91.5 points per game -- third-best in the NBA. They won their third straight Friday, a 99-90 victory over Philadelphia. Former Hornets center Tyson Chandler had 11 points and 12 rebounds, Brandon Haywood had 17 rebounds and Dirk Nowitzki, who rolled his right ankle in Wednesday's win at Memphis, scored 16 points. Chandler, who spent last season with Charlotte, has two double-doubles this season after recording five in 51 games in 2009-10. He has scored in double figures in each of the last three games. 小牛本季的防守也让人印象深刻，对手平均得分只有91.5分，联盟第三低，他们在前 天主场作战击败76人拿下三连胜。过去曾经待过黄蜂的中锋Chandler上役拿下11分12 篮板，Haywood也有17篮板，对灰熊时稍微弄伤右脚踝的Dirk拿下16分。Chnadler上季 在山猫度过，本季已两度拿下双十，他去年只打了51场比赛，只拿到5次双十，而他最 近的三场也有两次得分破10分。 Dallas is averaging 44.0 rebounds, among the league's leaders, thanks in large part to Chandler, who is averaging a team-high 8.6 boards. Last season, the Mavericks were tied for 17th in the league with 41.7 per game. "(Chandler and Haywood) are both terrific players," coach Rick Carlisle said, "and right now they've got a tag team thing going that's helping us. When Tyson comes out he gets Brendan fired up. They're getting a lot done for us." 小牛本季平均能抓下44个篮板，在联盟居於领先地位，这要多亏了Chandler，他平均 每场有8.6个篮板，上季小牛的篮板数仅以41.7个排名并列联盟第17位。卡帅表示： "拳王跟黑雾都是很棒的球员，他们现在在队上帮助我们很大，Chandler上场时让 Haywood也跃跃欲试，他们为我们做了很多事。" Caron Butler missed his second straight game Friday with back spasms. He is day-to-day but listed in Dallas' starting lineup for Monday. Shawn Marion started the two games he was out, totaling 36 points and 12 rebounds. "We've got a deep team," said J.J. Barea, who had a season-high 19 points. "We've got a lot of guys who can score." The teams will meet again Wednesday in New Orleans. Butler连续两场因为背部筋孪而无法出赛，他目前列入每日观察名单，但他被排在明 天的先发之中，Marion这两场代替他先发，共拿下了36分12篮板。JJB说："我们的阵 容深度很够，我们有很多可以得分的点。"JJB上役拿下全场最高的19分。两队将在星 期四於纽奥良再度碰头。 明天加油!! 应该会是一场激战 希望能破了黄蜂的不败之身!! Let's Go Mavs!! --
