Rockets-Mavericks Preview It should be interesting to see what kind of reaction Dwight Howard receives when he takes the court against another team that lost in the summer recruiting battle for his services. 明天的比赛有个观战重点，当Dwight Howard来到另一个争取他加盟失败的球队 主场时，会受到球迷怎样的待遇。 Howard and the Rockets seek their fourth straight win Wednesday night when they try to snap a six-game road losing streak in Dallas, where the Mavericks look to remain unbeaten. Howard与休士顿火箭希望拿下最近的四连胜，以及作客达拉斯的四连败，而主 场的小牛本季在家还没输过。 The Rockets (8-4) and Mavericks (7-4) were two of five teams that made pitches to the NBA's biggest prize in free agency last summer before Howard decided to leave the Los Angeles Lakers for Houston. 8胜4败的火箭与7胜4败的小牛是暑假追逐DH的五队当中两队，最後Howard决定 离开洛杉矶湖人，加盟火箭。 In his first appearance back at Staples Center after his one up-and-down season with the Lakers, Howard was roundly booed in a 137-118 loss to the Clippers on Nov. 4. 在他最近一次回到湖人主场Staples Center面对同城的洛杉矶快艇时，遭到全 场球迷的嘘声，火箭该场以118-137败北。 The seven-time All-Star center had 13 points and 16 rebounds in a 113-105 victory over the visiting Mavericks on Nov. 1. At that time, Dallas owner Mark Cuban made headlines when he addressed Howard's decision to spurn his club. 七度入选明星赛的中锋Howard在11月1号迎战来访的小牛时攻下13分16篮板， 带领火箭以113-105获胜，小牛的老板Mark Cuban在当时放话说DH加入火箭是 愚蠢的决定。 "Obviously, he made a mistake in judgment," Cuban said before the game. "Do I blame him? No, that's what young kids do. They make mistakes in judgment." Cuban在赛前说："明显的他犯了错误，不过我不怪他，年轻人就是这样，不断 的犯错。" Howard insists that he doesn't have any hard feelings toward Cuban, and couldn't be happier about his pick to join Houston instead of the Mavericks. Through 11 games, he's averaging 17.2 points, a league-high 13.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks. Howard坚持对Cuban并不排斥，且对於加盟火箭而非小牛时感到高兴。Howard本季 11场比赛平均17.2分13.9篮板2.4阻攻，目前是联盟篮板王。 "What would you want him to say? He's taking up for his team," Howard responded. "I would do the same thing if somebody didn't want to play with me. I would think they made a bad decision ... if I would have went to his team he would have been happy." Howard对Cuban的回应是："你觉得Cuban会怎麽说，他当然会替球队说话，如果 有球员不想为我打球，我也会有这样的反应。但我不会认为这是错误的决定，只 不过是如果我加入小牛他会比较开心而已。" Now the Dallas fans will have their say with Howard looking to lead the Rockets to their first win in Dallas since a 116-108 overtime victory on Dec. 18, 2009. 小牛迷们期待明天可以对Howard发泄，而火箭自从2009年12月18日以116-108在 延长赛击败小牛之後，就没有在小牛主场赢过球。 The Mavericks, however, seek their first 6-0 start at home since 2007-08. 小牛则是希望在2007-08赛季之後拿下首次的开季主场六连胜。 Houston has gotten back into a groove offensively during a three-game winning streak, averaging 113.3 points on 51.1 percent shooting. The Rockets put up 40 first-quarter points and shot 72.2 percent in the first half en route to a 109-85 victory over visiting Boston on Tuesday. 火箭在最近的三连胜中找回攻击手感，平均113.3分，命中率51.1%，在今天以 109-85主场击败波士顿塞尔提克的比赛中，他们第一节攻下40分，上半场命中 率更是高达72.2%。 "I think the guys have done a really good job of being attentive and making corrections," coach Kevin McHale said. "We've still got a long way to go, but we're getting better all the time." 火箭教练Kevin McHale说："我认为球员们表现的很好、很专注，也修正了之前 的错误，赛季还很长，我们会持续进步。" Terrence Jones had a career-high 24 points on 10-of-12 shooting, while James Harden added 15 and Howard had 10 and 11 rebounds. Harden, the team's leading scorer with 24.3 points per game, had a game-high 34 in the first meeting earlier this month. Terrence Jones今天投12中10拿下生涯新高24分，James Harden攻下15分，Howard 则有10分11篮板。Harden以场均24.3分作为火箭得分王，在本季稍早对上小牛的比 赛攻下34分。 Dirk Nowitzki had 22 points and Monta Ellis added 20 for the Mavericks, who shot a season-low 38.0 percent from the field. The Rockets, though, have given up 112.0 points on 44.2 percent shooting in five road games. Dirk Nowitzki在上一次对上火箭攻下22分，Monta Ellis则有20分，那场比赛小牛 的命中率是本季最低的38.0%。然而火箭在本季五场客场作战平均失分是112.0分， 对手命中率44.2%。 Ellis finished with 24 points and 10 assists in a 97-94 win over Philadelphia on Monday. He's scored at least 18 in all 11 games, the longest streak to start a career in Dallas. 昨天Ellis攻下24分10助攻，帮助小牛以97-94主场击退费城七六人，他在本季代表 小牛出赛的11场比赛最少能攻下18分，是小牛队史上第一遭。 "We've got so many guys that can score, and my main thing is attack and make plays for not only myself but for others," Ellis told the team's official website. Ellis在球队官网访问时说："我们有很多能得分的球员，我的主要目的就是攻击， 为我自己和其他人制造得分机会。" The Mavericks hope to continue playing well defensively, allowing 96.4 points per game while winning four of five. They had given up 108.0 over the first six contests. 小牛希望持续最近防守的感觉，最近五战平均失分仅96.4分，其中拿下四胜，在 那之前的六场比赛平均失分108.0分。 希望明天能打败强敌火箭 延续主场连胜!! Let's Go Mavs!! --
