Hawks-Mavericks Preview The Atlanta Hawks keep surging by playing what has been the best defense in the NBA in recent weeks. 亞特蘭大老鷹的戰績扶搖直上，多虧了近幾周打出了聯盟最強悍的防守。 They figure to be tested by the highest-scoring team in the league when they visit the Dallas Mavericks and their new point guard Monday night. 明天他們將碰上達拉斯小牛的強大火力，以及對手的新控球後衛。 The Hawks (19-7) are limiting opponents to 97.0 points per game and have further elevated their defensive play during a 12-1 run, holding opponents to 89.6 points and 41.8 percent shooting. 19勝7敗的老鷹讓對手平均失分只有97.0分，在最近這波12勝1敗的期間， 他們更是加強防守，平均失分只有89.6分，對手命中率41.8%。 Atlanta picked on some of the worst teams in the league in that span with wins over Boston, Charlotte, Indiana, Philadelphia and Orlando, but the last three victories have come against Chicago, Cleveland and Houston, who are more than 20 games over .500 combined. 老鷹在這波連勝中多次碰上聯盟的爐主，包括波士頓塞爾提克、夏洛特 黃蜂、印第安那溜馬、費城七六人與奧蘭多魔術，但最近的三連勝他們 分別打敗了芝加哥公牛、克里夫蘭騎士與休士頓火箭，這三隊的戰績加 起來，勝場一共比敗場多了20場。 Atlanta limited the Rockets to 39.5 percent shooting in Saturday's 104-97 road victory. 老鷹昨天讓火箭的命中率只有39.5%，在客場以104-97取勝。 "We've had a nice start to the season, but the season's only a couple of months old," said guard Kyle Korver, who had 22 points. "We had a losing record last year. We made the playoffs last year but we won 38 games. So by no means are we like happy with ourselves. But I think we feel good about what we're building." 後衛Kyle Korver昨天拿到22分，他說："我們的開季打得很好，不過才 開季沒幾個月。我們去年勝率不到5成，只拿到38勝擠進季後賽，所以 我們不能志得意滿，但我們對於現況感到高興。" Korver was 4 of 8 from 3-point range and ranks second in the league with a 53.9 3-point percentage. He is among five Hawks to reach the 20-point mark at least once in the last 13 games. Korver昨天三分球8投4中，他本季三分球命中率高達53.9%，在最近13場 比賽，有五位球員曾經得分破20。 Dallas (20-8) leads the league with 109.7 points per game and hopes the addition of Rajon Rondo can help put it over the top. Rondo's six points on 3-of-11 shooting were underwhelming in Saturday's 99-93 home win over San Antonio, but he added nine assists and seven rebounds. 20勝8敗的小牛本季每場可以得109.7分，在Rajon Rondo加入之後，他們 希望能把得分再往上衝。Rondo昨天表現平平，投11僅中3，不過抓下7籃 板送出9助攻，幫助小牛在主場以99-93打敗聖安東尼奧馬刺。 Rondo, who averaged 10.8 assists for Boston, joins a Mavericks squad led by Monta Ellis' 4.6 assists per game. Despite its gaudy scoring average, Dallas ranks in the bottom half of the league with assists on 56.9 percent of made field goals. Rondo本季在塞爾提克時平均可以傳出10.8次助攻，而小牛的Monta Ellis 本季平均可以傳出4.6次助攻，儘管小牛的平均得分驚人，但他們經過助 攻的投籃命中只有56.9%，排名聯盟後段班。 "I actually think (Rondo) knows some of the plays better than our own players we had out there. That's just how smart he is," forward Dirk Nowitzki told the team's official website. "The stuff he reads out there is fantastic. Obviously, I think we've got some room to improve on both ends of the floor and get used to each other even more, but I like playing with him and so does everyone else." 前鋒Dirk Nowitzki在球隊官網訪問說到："我認為Rondo對某些戰術的理解 甚至比其他一些球員還好，他就是這麼聰明。他對比賽的解讀能力很強， 我覺得我們在攻守都有進步的空間，可以配合得更好，大家都喜歡他來到 隊上。" Rondo had two points but recorded a season-high 19 assists and grabbed 12 rebounds in a 109-105 loss at Atlanta on Dec. 2. He has averaged 13.7 assists in his last seven meetings with the Hawks. 在12月2日時，Rondo所待的塞爾提克以105-109客場不敵老鷹，他雖然只拿 到2分，但卻傳出本季最高的19次助攻，並抓下12個籃板。他在最近七次對 上老鷹時平均可以送出13.7次助攻。 Ellis matched his season high with 38 points Saturday, including 11 in the final four minutes. Rondo assisted on three of his baskets. Ellis昨天拿到平本季新高的38分，包括最後4分鐘當中的11分，Rondo送出 了其中的3次助攻。 "My teammates were doing a great job of finding me in the open spots, and I was able to knock the shots down," Ellis told the team's official website. Ellis在球隊官網訪問說到："隊友們都能在我有空檔時找到我，我也把握 住了機會。" He has averaged 28.0 points in his last five home games. Ellis最近五次主場出賽平均攻下28.0分。 Dallas has shot 39.5 percent from 3-point range over its last six games while Atlanta has held its past nine opponents to 28.3 percent from beyond the arc. 小牛最近六場的三分球命中率只有39.5%，而老鷹則是在最近九場比賽讓對 手的三分球命中率只有28.3%。 The Mavericks have won 12 of 15 at home in this series. 最近15次主場對上老鷹，小牛拿下12勝。 老鷹近況很好 希望我們能繼續贏下去呀!!
