Hornets-Kings Preview By BRETT HUSTON Posted Nov 20 2010 6:58PM The New Orleans Hornets made a trade Saturday designed to get under the NBA's luxury tax while finding a solid backup point guard to lighten the load on Chris Paul. 黃蜂為了避免豪華稅以及找尋穩當的替補PG，做了一個交易。 The three-time All-Star hasn't needed much of a breather lately against the Sacramento Kings. The Hornets hope their new look doesn't disrupt the best start in franchise history, which they'll try to extend on the road Sunday by beating the Kings for a sixth straight time with Paul running the point. 有CP在陣的情況下對上國王已經五連勝了。 Having a healthy Paul and first-year coach Monty Williams on the sidelines has seemed to make all the difference for New Orleans (10-1), which fired Byron Scott after a 3-6 start last season - less than 19 months after he was named Coach of the Year. 健康CP+MW = 10-1。炒了COY Scott看起來是不錯的決定。 Scott is now running the show in Cleveland, and he saw a few of his old players make a difference in his first game coaching against the Hornets on Friday night. David West had 34 points, Paul added 15 points, 10 assists and six steals, and New Orleans held the Cavaliers to a season-low 34.9 percent shooting in a 108-101 win. Scott現在在騎士當教練。前天造訪紐澳良，阿西送了他34分，CP則加上15分10助攻，並 讓騎士得到34.9%，本季新低的命中率。 "That was huge for us," Paul said. "We got aggressive on the defensive end and that got us into transition, and that's when we're at our best. We've won every game with defense this year. That's what we are going to keep hanging our hats on." CP：「這對我們來說很重要，防守讓我們有攻守轉換的機會。我們每場比賽都是靠防守 贏來的。」 New Orleans is holding opponents to 42.8 percent from the field, best in the league heading into the weekend. 黃蜂讓對手命中率只有42.8%是全聯盟最佳的成績。 The Hornets improved to 7-0 at home before embarking on a four-game road trip, one they'll begin with a new look. New Orleans announced a deal Saturday that sent Peja Stojakovic and Jerryd Bayless to Toronto for point guard Jarrett Jack, center David Andersen and guard Marcus Banks. 黃蜂在蜂巢獲得7-0，接著他們要展開客場4連戰。此時他們有了新的面貌，J.Jack、 D.Anderson與M.Banks取代貝勒跟Peja加入黃蜂大家族。 Stojakovic had fallen out of favor in Williams' rotation, but a deal for the former All-Star was probably coming sooner or later. He's making $14.25 million in the final year of a contract that will give the Raptors cap relief this summer, making Stojakovic an asset despite his diminished role. Peja本季掉出MW的輪值，但他的交易本來就是早晚的。Peja本季14.25M的薪資會讓暴龍 今夏有很大的運作空間。(可能會簽Weems吧......) Jack is owed $4.8 million this season and approximately $11 million over the next two, but the salary difference for 2010-11 between the players going and coming should keep New Orleans under the luxury tax. Jack本季薪水4.8M，下兩季大概是11M。這樣已經夠低讓黃蜂避開豪華稅。 It should also give the Hornets a solid third guard behind Paul and Marco Belinelli. Bayless struggled behind Paul after the team gave up a first-round pick for him in October, but Jack - a good friend of Paul's from their college days in the ACC - has averaged 28.2 minutes in his career. 他的到來也讓黃蜂除了CP跟Beli之外有了穩固的第三後衛。貝勒在CP下場時無法穩住 局勢，但Jack──CP從大學時代於ACC至今的好朋友，職業生涯平均有28分鐘的上場時間。 It's unclear if Jack will join the team in time for Sunday's game, but Paul may not need him. He's averaged 24.4 points, 10.6 assists and 3.0 steals as the Hornets have beaten Sacramento (4-7) the last five times he's been healthy. 但Jack目前還不確定是否能趕上明天的比賽，不過CP可能還不需要用到他。CP對 戰國王有24.4分10.6助攻與3抄截，並且在他健康情況下已經連勝國王五場。 The Kings will be looking to wrap up their four-game homestand with a split after snapping a six-game skid Friday. Tyreke Evans scored 20 points and Sacramento held New Jersey to 35 after halftime in an 86-81 win. 國王想要在主場4連戰有好的開始。他們上一場比賽擊敗籃網，終止6連敗。 "We put together 44 good minutes of defense tonight," coach Paul Westphal said. "We had a little lull there in the second quarter, but for the most part I thought we won the game with our defense." Sacramento's next obstacle is solving its penchant for slow starts. The Kings have trailed at halftime in 11 straight games and allow an average of 56.0 first-half points. New Orleans gives up just 43.8 per game before the break. 國王本季打完上半場幾乎都是輸的。 West has averaged 29.5 points in his last four trips to Sacramento. 阿西前四次作客國王平均29.5分。 --
