http://is.gd/HA4SkI The Boston Celtics have made significant strides defensively. They'll need that improvement to continue as they begin a stretch of three straight games on the road - the first two coming against a pair of the NBA's top offensive teams. 波士頓塞爾提克的防守大有長進。他們必須保持進步，迎接即將來臨的三場客場比賽，而前兩場正好要面對NBA攻擊最出色的球隊。 The Celtics go for their third consecutive win and fourth in five games when they face the Houston Rockets on Friday night. 塞爾提克帶著三連勝與五戰四勝的佳績，準備在星期五晚上面對休士頓火箭。 Boston (12-9) will take on a Rockets squad that's averaging 104.2 points before squaring off with a San Antonio club that's scoring 105.5 the next night. The Celtics, though, appear better equipped to handle those challenges than they were a few weeks ago. 塞爾提克(12勝9負)將先與場均104.2分的火箭較勁，隔天晚上再和場均105.5分的馬刺對打。不過塞爾提克顯然比幾個禮拜前，更有能力來應付這些挑戰。 Boston allowed an average of 100.1 points through the first 14 games, giving up 100-plus seven times in regulation. It then gave up 88.7 over the next six contests without allowing 100 points before a 117-115 double-overtime victory over Dallas on Wednesday. 塞爾提克本季前14場比賽平均失分為100.1，7場在正規時間內失100分以上。之後六場平均失88.7分，直到星期三在兩度延長賽中以117比115力克小牛時，才讓失分突破100。 The Mavericks shot 51.1 percent, but the Celtics managed to force 28 turnovers - their most since forcing 29 against Atlanta on Feb. 6, 2004. 小牛命中率為51.1%，但塞爾提克迫使對方出現28次失誤 - 這是他們自2004年2月6日迫使老鷹出現29次失誤後的最佳紀錄。 Boston scored 34 points off Dallas' giveaways. 塞爾提克靠小牛的失誤拿下34分。 "We've been trapping," coach Doc Rivers said. "I've been talking about it a lot and over the past seven games it's been paying dividends for us. It's been terrific." 教練Doc Rivers說：「我們一直在設陷阱，我一直在講這件事，而過去七場比賽，這讓我們有很大的收獲。感覺很棒。」 Paul Pierce's shooting has been inconsistent, as he's hitting 41.7 percent from the field and 35.0 percent from 3-point range for his lowest marks since 2002-03. However, he scored a season-high 34 points versus Dallas - 12 in the overtimes. Paul Pierce的命中率時好時壞，投籃命中率為41.7%，三分球命中率為35%，是他自 2002-03以來的最差成績。不過，他在對小牛時拿下本季新高34分 - 延長賽拿到12分。 Rajon Rondo, averaging a league-high 12.9 assists, had 15 to go along with 16 points and nine rebounds in a career-high 52 minutes, 30 seconds Wednesday. Rajon Rondo每場12.9次助攻名列聯盟第一，星期三也送出15助攻，拿下16分，9籃板，出賽時間52分鐘30秒也創下生涯新高。 "We ask him to do a lot," Pierce said. "We ask him to push it up, score and rebound. We ask him to do a lot because he can do it." Pierce說：「我們要他多做一點，我們要他挑戰極限，得分，搶籃板。我們要他多做一點，因為他辦得到。」 While the Rockets (10-11) score a lot of points, they also give up more than anyone else at 104.8 per game. Houston had lost three in a row, allowing 121.3 points in that stretch, before limiting Washington to 39.4 percent shooting in a 99-93 on Wednesday. 雖然火箭(10勝11負)很會得分，他們的每場失分也是無人能敵的104.8分。火箭之前的三連敗，平均失分121.3分，直到星期三才將巫師的命中率限制在39.4%，並以99比93取勝。 It was the first time in nine games that the Rockets gave up fewer than 101 points. 這是火箭近9場比賽第一次沒讓對手突破101分。 James Harden returned after missing one game with a sprained ankle and scored 31, with 17 coming in the first quarter as Houston jumped out to a 27-17 lead. 腳踝扭傷而缺賽一場的James Harden回歸陣中，共得31分，第一節就攻下17分，幫助火箭取得27比17的領先。 Harden leads the team with 25.0 points per game, while all the other starters are averaging at least 10.6. Harden以每場得25分名列球隊第一，其他先發的平均分數至少10.6分。 "(Harden) came out on fire, and we rode his scoring for a while," point guard Jeremy Lin said. "It's not just me and him - there's five of us out there. We're just trying to figure it all out and find a happy medium where we kind of maximize everybody." 控衛林書豪說：「(Harden)熱得發燙，我們靠他的得分撐了一陣子。球賽不只是我跟他，場上有五個人。我們只想把問題搞清楚，找出折衷之道，讓所有人盡情發揮。」 Pierce scored 30 as the Celtics beat the Rockets 97-92 in overtime at Boston on March 6, ending a three-game skid in the series. 3月6日塞爾提克以97比92在延長賽時擊敗來訪的火箭，Pierce得30分，幫助球隊中止與火箭對戰的三連敗紀錄。 -------------------- 照舊，隊板不讓我發文，只好發在這裡，不過總算有林的台詞啦 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.33.22.91
