Hornets-Bucks Preview By ALAN FERGUSON Posted Nov 06 2010 12:41AM With the buzz surrounding some other teams, the New Orleans Hornets were all but overlooked heading into this season. A franchise-best start under first-year coach Monty Williams has helped the Hornets steal some of that spotlight. 菜鳥教頭帶出隊史新高的開季五連勝。 After an attention-getting victory, New Orleans will try to further its unbeaten start by topping the Milwaukee Bucks for the second time this season Saturday night at the Bradley Center. 來到布萊德利中心尋求對戰公鹿二連勝。 After missing the playoffs last season, the Hornets were hoping to improve with star guard Chris Paul healthy. At 5-0, New Orleans is well on its way to leaving that 37-45 finish behind, especially after its latest win. 黃蜂今年脫胎換骨，擊敗火火火。 On Friday night, the Hornets became the second team to take down the well-hyped Miami Heat as Trevor Ariza hit a key 3-pointer with 14 seconds left. 亞瑞殺最後14秒的重要三分球。 Emeka Okafor had a season-high 26 points and 13 rebounds in the 96-93 victory, and Paul contributed a season-best 19 assists to go with his 13 points. 資優生發飆的26-13，CP送出19助攻。 "It's nice to be part of a group who plays hard every night," Williams said. "Different guys are stepping up." 蒙提教頭說，跟這個團隊打拼真好，每個人都在進步。 The Hornets will try to follow up that performance by continuing their recent success against the Bucks (2-4). A 95-91 victory in the season opener Oct. 27 was New Orleans' ninth in 10 games against Milwaukee. 最近十次跟公鹿交手黃蜂獲得九勝。 The Hornets have also won three of four at the Bradley Center but that lone defeat came in their most recent trip there Feb. 24. Paul, who played a career-low 45 games in 2009-10, missed both games against the Bucks last season. 黃蜂在布萊德利中心戰績為3-1，輸掉那場是09-10球季CP缺陣的時候。 While the Hornets will try to keep rolling, the Bucks will attempt to build off Friday night's comeback for their second win this season, 94-90 at Indiana. 公鹿(2-4)昨天逆轉溜馬獲得第二勝。 After giving up 40 points in the second quarter, Milwaukee overcame an eight-point halftime deficit and outscored the Pacers 42-30 in the second half. "It was a big win for us," said guard John Salmons, who scored 22 points. "We started off a little slow, but we're gradually getting better." 鮪魚感到很開心。 Brandon Jennings added 18 points but his shooting struggles have continued into his second NBA season. Jennings missed 12 of 19 attempts Friday, leaving him at 38.2 percent. 建寧依舊低迷，19次出手僅進7球。 That's a slight improvement from his rookie campaign when he shot just 37.1 percent. He's averaging 14.7 points this season after scoring 15.5 per game in 2009-10. 但他本季38.2%命中率已經比37.1%新人球季的命中率高。 "Instead of me just trying to figure out everybody else's game and trying to set back for other people on the team, I'm just going to have to play like I played last year, and that's just be more aggressive," Jennings said. "Take shots, and hey, if I miss them, I miss them. If I make shots, that opens up things for everybody else." 建寧表示，不準還是要投！ Against the Hornets, Jennings has been held to 12.7 points on 32.5 percent shooting. West, meanwhile, has averaged 22.8 points and 11.1 rebounds in his last 11 games against Milwaukee. 建寧對黃蜂平均12.7分，32.5%命中率，阿西則有22.8分，11.1板。 Bucks center Andrew Bogut is questionable for this game. Bogut, who had 15 points and 15 rebounds in the season opener, sat out Friday's win due to a migraine. 柏格上一場對黃蜂15-15，但他昨天偏頭痛沒有上場。 --
