It seems like only yesterday that the Hornets were a lost franchise with an 18-64 record in 2004-05 and the Mavericks were just two wins away from winning The Finals in 2006. 對黃蜂來說，18勝64敗，就像昨天才剛發生過一樣。 而小牛也從06年的冠軍賽贏得兩場… The tables have turned as New Orleans, led by 2007-08 MVP candidate Chris Paul are the No. 2 seed taking on Dallas and 2006-07 league MVP Dirk Nowitzki who are No. 7. 隨著時間的流逝，由MVP候選人CP所帶領的黃蜂將對決06-07年的MVP Dirk所帶領的小牛。 The Hornets enjoyed a resurgent year led by Paul at the helm, as he became the fifth player in NBA history to lead the league in assists (11.6) and steals (2.7) in the same season. Paul’s targets while running the point were equally impressive as David West was named to the All-Star team, Tyson Chandler was fourth in the league in rebounding and Peja Stojakovic shot a career best .441 from beyond the three-point arc. 黃蜂今年的成績不容忽視，CP的成為第5位球員拿下單季平均11.6助攻、2.7抄截的雙冠王 ，而「西方」也順利的首度進入明星賽，拳王泰森。小錢也在本季的籃板方面佔居第4 名，還有「皮夾」在3分線命中率也創生涯新高。 Dallas re-tooled its roster after the All-Star break and added Jason Kidd in a trade with New Jersey, hoping that Kidd’s veteran leadership and unparalleled court vision will be the push it needs to get over the championship hump. 小牛在明星賽後進行了一項交易換得了「小孩」，希望能藉由「小孩」的經驗及全場無視 角超到位的傳球視野能夠帶領小牛拿下冠軍。 After a touch-and-go adjustment period, Kidd lifted the Mavs to a 5-3 record in April, including a 111-98 win over the Hornets on the final night of the regular season to lock in the two teams’ First Round matchup. In the regular season finale Kidd provided an exclamation point by notching his 100th career triple-double. 經過磨合期後的小牛，在「小孩」的帶領下，4月拿下５勝３敗，包含了最近擊敗黃蜂的那 場比賽，也算是首輪的哨前戰… 而「小孩」也成功的拿下生涯第100次大三元。 P.S：雖然Kidd是敵人，不過真的令人尊敬。 After the game Nowitzki told the AP, "This was definitely a win we wanted to get. The Lakers are probably the hottest team in the West. We definitely didn't want to face them in the first round. ... [New Orleans] had a great year, but I think we match up pretty well." Dirk賽後放砲說：「這場比賽我們拿下的欲望很高。 或許湖人是現在西區最HOT的球隊， 我們當然不想第一輪就遇上他們，所以………　黃蜂今年也很不錯，但…遇上黃蜂可能會 比較好。」 Now that Nowitzki has his wish, the series will come down to whether the young Hornets squad on an upswing has enough momentum and poise about them to knock off the old guard Mavericks who are perceived to be on a down cycle, giving it another try to win a ring for the vets. Dirk也希望能夠擊敗這支年輕的球隊，黃蜂有著進步卓越的一年，年輕就是本錢，或許也 有可能擊敗小牛，但也可能因為經驗的不足，給予小牛一個晉級的機會。 http://www.nba.com/playoffs2008/series/series_w1s2.html http://boss.streamos.com/wmedia/nba/nbacom/playoff_preview/2008series/nohdal_se riespreview_2008streamos.asx 哨前戰的Preview，懶的縮XD。 Let's GO NOH！ Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo！ 昨天Ric Flair的梗 XD。 相信黃蜂能晉級的！ --
