http://tinyurl.com/4b9ly8a (简略翻译) Dwight Howard has won the NBA rebounding title in each of the past three seasons, and a fourth straight would put him in a class with some of the league's most historically dominant big men. Love has a significant edge over Howard as the NBA's top two rebounders go head-to-head Saturday night at the Target Center, where Love's Minnesota Timberwolves try to hand Howard's Orlando Magic a third straight loss. Wilt Chamberlain, Moses Malone, Dennis Rodman and Kevin Garnett are the only players to have won four consecutive rebounding titles, a feat Chamberlain pulled off twice. Howard seemed poised to join that group after comfortably winning the crown the past three seasons. Love has put that pursuit in jeopardy as the season hits the halfway point. His 15.7 rebounds per game are not only 2.3 more than Howard, but the most since Rodman averaged 16.1 in 1996-97 and more than anyone other than Rodman since Malone grabbed 17.6 per contest in 1978-79. Both Love and Howard also are having their best seasons offensively. Love hit 5 of 6 3-pointers on his way to 35 points Thursday against Washington, also pulling down 11 rebounds for his 26th straight double-double as Minnesota (10-30) won 109-97 without the injured Michael Beasley. "It's a tough guard when you've got a 4 man who can shoot the ball," said the 6-foot-9 Love, shooting 45.4 percent from beyond the arc. "Six-foot-eight or above and shooting the 3-ball like that, its tough to guard." Even though the Magic have won nine of 11, their penchant for slow starts has Van Gundy concerned. Orlando has been behind after the first quarter in eight of its last 10 contests. "I don't like that trend," Van Gundy said. "Whether we have to make changes in that lineup or something, but those guys - we're just always in a hole now and that's not good." The Magic certainly didn't have trouble getting off to a fast start when they hosted Minnesota on Nov. 3. They shot 60.9 percent and hit five 3-pointers while outscoring the Timberwolves 37-18 in the opening 12 minutes en route to a 128-86 drubbing. Orlando led by 33 at halftime in its fifth straight win versus Minnesota since Love's rookie season. Howard had 18 points, 16 rebounds and a season-high eight blocks while helping hold former Magic center Darko Milicic scoreless. Love had 22 points, nine boards, five turnovers and five fouls - one of the five games he's failed to record a double-double. Orlando has averaged 111.0 points in winning four straight at Minnesota. Howard已经是连三季篮板强者，现在要面对连四季的课题。 再主场Love将有显着的优势在篮板王对决上压下Howard，灰狼队尝试让 魔术队三连败。 Wilt Chamberlain, Moses Malone, Dennis Rodman and Kevin Garnett都有 连续四季篮板王头衔，Chamberlain有两次，Howard看似自若地可以加入这篮板 王者群组，因为他轻松地赢了3季篮板王。 Love从半路中杀出给了Howard危险感觉，Love平均15.7篮板，比Howard多了 2.3个，这是从96-97年Rodman16.1篮板，78-79年Malone17.6篮板以来还多的 Love这球季有最好的进攻能力，对巫师队时三分球6投5中，总共获得35分，也 拉了11个篮板达成第26次Double-Double，在没有Beasley下获得第10胜。 Love说：「那真是很困难的防守，当有4个人都会长射时」，而4人之1的Love 在三分线外有45.4%命中率，当有一个6尺8寸以上的球员有这种三分命中率， 那真的很难防守。 即使魔术队赢了11场的9场，但他们慢热型态已引起教头Van Gundy的关切， 他们已在最後10场中的8场，第一节就落後，Van Gundy说：「不喜欢这种趋势， 也许必须做些阵容上或战术上改变，但他们都是好球员，现在也只能一直在漏洞 中讨生活，而这并不是好事。 魔术对轻松写意地在9月3日时对灰狼队获得胜利，60.9%命中率有5个三分球， 在一开始第12分钟就以37比18领先，最後赢得胜利。 Love是新人时与魔术队对战，在中场时魔术获得33分领先，当时Howard有16分、 16篮板球季新高8火锅，同时让米粒得分能力丧去，那次Love有22分9篮板5次失误 4次犯规，5场比赛中的一场没有Double-Double，总计魔术队平均111分四连胜灰狼队。 ORL MIN 3rd Southeast 5th Northwest W 25 10 L 14 30 L10 8-2 4-6 H 15-5 8-11 A 10-9 2-19 ORL MIN PPG Howard 21.9 Love 21.5 RPG Howard 13.4 Love 15.7 APG Nelson 6.7 Ridnour 5.8 BPG Howard 2.3 Milicic 2.3 SPG Howard 1.2 Brewer 1.7 --
