http://goo.gl/ZfWzW Rockets-Bulls Preview 賽前報導 By TAYLOR BECHTOLD (STATS Writer) | The Associated Press After tearing apart the NBA's No. 1 scoring defense, the Houston Rockets are looking for a repeat performance against top defensive team. 擊潰NBA防守第一隊之後，休士頓火箭希望能重現對抗頂尖防守強隊的演出。 The Rockets will try to duplicate their fast-paced formula on Christmas Day when they visit the Chicago Bulls, who hope to get back on track following their second-worst loss of the season. 聖誕節當天，火箭將試圖在造訪芝加哥公牛時，複製他們的快步調攻勢。公牛則希望從本季第二慘烈的敗北中重上軌道。 While the Bulls are 7-0 all-time at home on Christmas, they'll first have to find a way to slow down the league's top offense (105.4 per game) after Houston (14-12) ran past Memphis 121-96 on Saturday night for its third straight win. 雖然公牛的主場聖誕節大戰，維持7戰全勝的佳績，他們仍須設法減慢聯盟最佳進攻球隊的速度(每場105.4分)，火箭在星期六晚上以速度取勝，以121比96擊敗灰熊，取得三連勝。 Although Memphis entered the contest allowing an NBA-low 89.2 points per game, the Rockets scored 20 more points than any other Grizzlies opponent this season. Houston outscored Memphis 33-3 in fast-break points and handed its division rival its most lopsided loss of the season. 雖然灰熊賽前以每場失89.2分名列NBA低失分之首，火箭的得分卻比灰熊其他對手還要高出20幾分。火箭與灰熊的快攻得分為33比3，迫使其分區對手吞下本季最慘烈的敗仗。 "It's easier getting them early than it is going against the defense and trying to get something in the last five seconds of the shot clock,'' coach Kevin McHale said. 教練Kevin McHal說：「趁早發動攻勢要比面對堅強的防守，設法在最後五秒得分容易得多。」 Houston has taken advantage of its speed this month, ranking second in fast-break points at 19.8 per game. 本月，火箭憑藉速度上的優勢，以每場19.8的快攻得分擠進聯盟第二。 However, it might be difficult to keep up that pace against a Bulls team allowing just 12.5 fast break points per game that also owns the NBA's second-best scoring defense (88.3 per game) at home. 然而，面對公牛時或許很難維持這麼快的步調，公牛每場的快攻失分只有12.5分，在主場時的平均失分(每場88.3)也暫居NBA第二。 James Harden scored 31 points on Saturday as the Rockets improved to 7-1 when he scores at least 30. The league's fourth-ranked scorer (25.6 per game) has averaged 30.0 points on 51.9 percent shooting over his last eight games and converted 91.5 percent (86 of 94) of his free throws in that span. James Harden在星期六拿到31分。當他得分超過30分，火箭已取得7勝一負的成績。這位聯盟第四名的得分手(25.6分)在過去八場比賽中平均得30分，命中率為51.9%，罰球命中率也高達91.5%(94投86中)。 The Rockets, who have won five of six, are averaging 118.3 points during their three-game winning streak. 火箭目前六戰五勝，三連勝期間的平均得分為118.31。 "We showed how explosive we can be offensively," said guard Jeremy Lin, who had 15 points and 11 assists against Memphis. "This is just a testament to people moving and passing the ball." 迎戰灰熊時取得15分，11助攻的後衛林書豪說：「我們表現出自己的進攻爆發力，這正是隊員勤於跑動和傳球的證明。」 Lin was held to four points on 2-of-9 shooting in the first meeting with Chicago, but Harden had 28 points as Houston overcame a season-high 23 turnovers in a 93-89 home win Nov. 21. 11月21日，林在本季與公牛的首戰上只取得4分，9投2中，但哈登攻下28分，雖然火箭創下本季新高的23次失誤，仍以93比89拿下主場勝利。 Former Bull Omer Asik, who has 12 double-doubles, makes his first return to Chicago. He had four points and six rebounds last month against the Bulls, well off his season averages of 10.6 and 11.4, respectively. 本季已有12次雙十成績的前公牛隊員Omer Asik將首度回到芝加哥。他在上個月對戰公牛時拿下4分，6籃板，遠低於本季平均的10.6分，11.4個籃板。 After an impressive 110-106 victory at New York for their ninth win in 12 games, the Bulls look to bounce back following a 92-75 blowout loss at Atlanta on Saturday night. 公牛在紐約以110比106拿下精彩的勝利後，取得12戰9勝的佳績，他們期望擺脫星期六晚上於亞特蘭大遭老鷹以92比75擊潰的窘境。 Chicago's starters were outscored 72-39 as the team was held to its second-lowest point total of the season. Forward Luol Deng led the Bulls with just 11 points while playing through a sore shoulder. 公牛先發只攻下39分，對方是72分，全隊得分為本季第二低。前鋒Luol Deng拿下全隊最高的11分，他還是帶肩傷上陣。 "Tough loss. The highs and lows of this thing are unbelievable,'' said Joakim Noah, who added 10 points and nine rebounds. "One night you feel great because you won a big game, and then the next night you come out with the wrong mindset and you lose." 取的10分，9籃板的Joakim Noah說：「輪得很慘。賽場上的起起落落有時叫人不敢相信。前天晚上你感覺良好，大贏一場，隔天晚上卻因為抱著錯誤的心態而一敗塗地。」 The Bulls will have to get their offense in gear against a Houston team that has won 37 consecutive games when holding its opponent below 90 points, the NBA's longest current streak. 公牛必須保持攻勢才能對抗火箭，火箭在迫使對手得分低於90的情況下，已連贏37場比賽，這是NBA目前最長的紀錄。 Nate Robinson had a team-high 21 points at Houston in November. Deng finished with 19 and 10 rebounds, while Noah contributed 13 and 15, respectively. 十一月的比賽，Nate Robinson在休士頓攻下全隊最高的21分。Deng最後取得19分，10籃板，Noah 則貢獻13分，15籃板。 The Rockets stopped a three-game losing streak in Chicago with a 99-93 victory there last April. 火箭去年四月以99比93在芝加哥擊敗公牛，終止三連敗。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.33.22.91
