Hornets-Mavericks Preview By KATE HEDLIN Posted Nov 14 2010 5:03PM Led by a stifling defense, the New Orleans Hornets are the last unbeaten team in the NBA. To extend their start, they'll need an especially impressive effort given the way they've struggled offensively on the road against their next opponent. 黃蜂是唯一不敗之師，但他們需要特別努力「進攻」下一個對手。 The Hornets look to snap a three-game losing streak in Dallas as they visit the Mavericks on Monday night in the first game of a home-and-home series between two of the league's top defensive teams. 黃蜂先前在小牛主場三連敗。而這兩支防守見長的球隊將進行二連戰。 New Orleans (8-0) continued its outstanding start to the season with a 107-87 win over Portland on Saturday. It was the third straight game an opponent failed to reach 90 points. For the season, the Hornets are allowing 89.8 per game - second-fewest in the NBA behind Milwaukee. 黃蜂禮拜六輕鬆料理阿拓(107-87)，持續開季以來高檔的表現，阿拓也是連續第三支球隊 面對黃蜂無法得超過90分。黃蜂目前平均失分89.8，僅多於公鹿。 "Defense is where we want to make our staple," said David West, who scored 18 points. "We are really drilling and really working and doing what we have to do in terms of preparation. We've been able to execute the game plan defensively from start to finish." 阿西說：「我們主打防守。我們亦步亦趨訓練、努力做好準備。我們能夠整場做好 防守。」 New Orleans also topped 100 points for the fourth time, matching its season-high output. The Hornets have all five starters averaging in double figures, led by Chris Paul, who is scoring 17 points to go along with 10.3 assists per game. 黃蜂連續四場得分破百，並獲得本季最高分(107)。 黃蜂先發五人平均得分都達兩位數。 "We know our offense is going to come," said Trevor Ariza, who had 10 points. "We've got players here that can score with the basketball." 亞理殺說：「我們知道進攻的感覺來了。我們有許多人能得分。」 They'll hope to carry that over to Dallas, where they have lost three straight and 16 of 17 while averaging 89.7 points. Paul, though, has averaged 27.4 points in his last five games there. 黃蜂希望能將進攻感覺帶到達拉斯，因為他們過去在那只有89.7分，1-16的成績。 儘管如此，CP在那最近五場比賽的平均有27.4分。 The Mavericks (6-2) have also been impressive on defense, holding opponents to 91.5 points per game - third-best in the NBA. They won their third straight Friday, a 99-90 victory over Philadelphia. 小牛(6-2)今年防守表現不錯，平均失分91.5僅次於公鹿與黃蜂。而近來也有三連勝。 Former Hornets center Tyson Chandler had 11 points and 12 rebounds, Brandon Haywood had 17 rebounds and Dirk Nowitzki, who rolled his right ankle in Wednesday's win at Memphis, scored 16 points. 拳王、巴斯光年跟司機在上一場比賽都有不錯的表現。 Chandler, who spent last season with Charlotte, has two double-doubles this season after recording five in 51 games in 2009-10. He has scored in double figures in each of the last three games. 拳王近三場比賽都有兩位數得分的表現，並且在本季有兩次Double-Double。 復活的感覺(－^－)ｄ Dallas is averaging 44.0 rebounds, among the league's leaders, thanks in large part to Chandler, who is averaging a team-high 8.6 boards. Last season, the Mavericks were tied for 17th in the league with 41.7 per game. 小牛本季平均44個籃板，其中8.6個來自拳王。 "(Chandler and Haywood) are both terrific players," coach Rick Carlisle said, "and right now they've got a tag team thing going that's helping us. When Tyson comes out he gets Brendan fired up. They're getting a lot done for us." Caron Butler missed his second straight game Friday with back spasms. He is day-to-day but listed in Dallas' starting lineup for Monday. Shawn Marion started the two games he was out, totaling 36 points and 12 rebounds. "We've got a deep team," said J.J. Barea, who had a season-high 19 points. "We've got a lot of guys who can score." C.Butler不會上場。 The teams will meet again Wednesday in New Orleans. 來源： http://www.nba.com/games/20101115/NOHDAL/gameinfo.html?ls=gt2hp0021000146 --
