Mavericks-Rockets Preview Dwight Howard's first game in Houston went about as well as could be expected. The Rockets' prize offseason acquisition will face a stiffer test when the Dallas Mavericks come to town Friday night. Dwight Howard身穿休士顿火箭球衣的首场出赛，表现符合众人期待。明天他们将 面临更大的考验，要在主场迎战达拉斯小牛。 Howard scored 17 points on 8-of-14 shooting and pulled down a career high-tying 26 rebounds Wednesday in a 96-83 win over Charlotte. Howard投14中8攻下17分，抓下平生涯最高的26个篮板，带领球队以96-83击败夏洛 特山猫。 "I didn't want to put any pressure on myself," Howard said. "I just wanted to go out there and play and have fun and get back to being who I am as a player. I think when you focus too much on that and what everybody else is saying that's when you don't play like you want to play." DH说："我不想让自己有太大的压力，我只想上场好好打球，享受球赛的乐趣，打 出我的风格。我认为太在意别人说的话，反而会让你打不出自己的球风。" The Rockets (1-0) are hoping Howard will inject even more enthusiasm into the team and its fan base than James Harden and Jeremy Lin did last year. Harden scored a game-high 21 points against the Bobcats, while Lin added 16 off the bench. 火箭希望Howard能像去年James Harden与Jeremy Lin所做的一样，为球队以及球迷 们注入更多的热情。Harden昨天攻下全队最高的21分，林书豪则是从板凳跳出攻下 16分。 Starting point guard Patrick Beverley left the game in the second quarter with bruised ribs and did not return. Beverley and Harden, who is working through a sore wrist and back, did not practice Thursday. 先发控卫Patrick Beverley在第二节因为肋骨瘀青退场，没有再回到比赛。他与手 腕、背部酸痛的Harden都没有参与球队今天的练习。 Reserve Francisco Garcia went 5 of 9 from long range and scored 19 points, his highest total for Houston since being acquired in a six-player deal with Sacramento on Feb. 21. 替补的Francisco Garcia三分线外投9中5，攻下19分，是他从今年2月21日沙加缅度 国王与火箭的六人交易转队之後的最高得分。 Omer Asik started at center and finished with 14 rebounds as coach Kevin McHale elected to go with a big starting five. The move paid off, with the Rockets limiting the Bobcats to 36.7 percent shooting (33 of 90) and owning the glass by a 54-37 margin. 先发中锋Omer Asik抓下14篮板，教练Kevin McHale决定摆出双塔阵容，这奏效了， 山猫的命中率被压制到只有36.7%(投90中33)，篮板方面也以54-37取得压倒性的优 势。 "With our big lineup, we have so much size and we're going to be such a good rebounding team," small forward Chandler Parsons told the team's official website. "Like I've said all along, when you have Dwight and Omer up there that gives wings the confidence to be aggressive and be more active while getting in passing lanes." 小前锋Chandler Parsons在球队官网说到："我们的大个阵容在身材上很有优势， 我们会是篮板强队。就像我一直说的，当球队有DH与Asik同时在场上时，会让锋线 球员更有信心投射，在往内传导时也会更积极。" Howard's last game with 26 rebounds came Jan. 6 as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. He did it for the first time with Orlando on April 15, 2006. DH上一次抓下26篮板是在今年1月6日，身穿洛杉矶湖人战袍时达成，而第一次抓下 26篮板是奥兰多魔术时期，於2006年4月15日达成。 "I really was trying to get 30," Howard said. "I said coming in tonight that I wanted to get 30 rebounds. I was upset that I didn't do it, but I'll try the next game." 他说："我真想抓到30篮板，我今天赛前就希望能拿到30个篮板，有点可惜没有成 功，我下次会更努力。" A 26-rebound night - much less 30 - might be hard to come by against a team that shot 57.1 percent in its first game. 要重演26篮板的成绩，可能很难在对上一支开幕战命中率高达57.1%的球队时达成。 The Mavericks (1-0) went 44 of 77 from the floor, including 11 of 24 from 3-point range, in a 118-109 season-opening win over Atlanta on Wednesday. They seek their first 2-0 start since 2004-05. 小牛在开幕战投77中44，包括三分线外24投11中，以118-109击败来访的亚特兰大 老鹰，小牛希望拿下2004-05球季以来首度开季二连胜。 Monta Ellis scored 32 on 11-of-17 shooting with eight assists in his Mavs debut after signing a three-year deal in the offseason. 暑假与小牛签下三年合约的Monta Ellis投17中11攻下32分8助攻。 "He was great and his shot looked comfortable," Dirk Nowitzki told the team's official website. "When they were playing up on him in the pick-and-roll he just beat both guys around and got to the basket. If they collapsed on him, he found the right guy and found the shooters. I mean, that's what he has to do for us all season long and that's being aggressive." Dirk Nowitzki对球队官网说到："他看起来棒极了，投篮的感觉也很好。当他在打 挡拆遭到防守时，他就直接切入取分，如果对手没跟上来，他也能找到有空档的队 友。我是说，这是他这季会对球队带来的帮助，积极的进攻。" Nowitzki, who missed last year's opener while recovering from knee surgery, added 24 points. He was 8 of 14 from the floor and 4 of 6 from 3-point range. Dirk去年因为膝盖手术缺席开幕战，昨天他攻下24分，投14中8，三分线外6投4中。 The Mavericks have won 10 of 11 against the Rockets dating to Nov. 29, 2010, including three of four last season. 小牛从2010年11月29日之後对火箭11战10胜，包括去年4战3胜。 During his one season with the Lakers in 2012-13, Howard went 3-1 against Dallas, averaging 16.8 points and 10.5 rebounds. 上季在湖人队时，Howard对小牛取得3胜1败，平均攻下16.8分10.5篮板。 明天就真的是考验了... 精采的德州内战 希望能在客场开红盘!! 卫视有转播~(8:00) Let's Go Mavs!! --
