Rockets-Mavericks Preview It should be interesting to see what kind of reaction Dwight Howard receives when he takes the court against another team that lost in the summer recruiting battle for his services. 明天的比賽有個觀戰重點，當Dwight Howard來到另一個爭取他加盟失敗的球隊主場時，會受到球迷怎樣的待遇。 Howard and the Rockets seek their fourth straight win Wednesday night when they try to snap a six-game road losing streak in Dallas, where the Mavericks look to remain unbeaten. Howard與休士頓火箭希望拿下最近的四連勝，以及作客達拉斯的四連敗，而主場的小牛本季在家還沒輸過。 The Rockets (8-4) and Mavericks (7-4) were two of five teams that made pitches to the NBA's biggest prize in free agency last summer before Howard decided to leave the Los Angeles Lakers for Houston. 8勝4敗的火箭與7勝4敗的小牛是暑假追逐DH的五隊當中兩隊，最後Howard決定離開洛杉磯湖人，加盟火箭。 In his first appearance back at Staples Center after his one up-and-down season with the Lakers, Howard was roundly booed in a 137-118 loss to the Clippers on Nov. 4. 在他最近一次回到湖人主場Staples Center面對同城的洛杉磯快艇時，遭到全場球迷的噓聲，火箭該場以118-137敗北。 The seven-time All-Star center had 13 points and 16 rebounds in a 113-105 victory over the visiting Mavericks on Nov. 1. At that time, Dallas owner Mark Cuban made headlines when he addressed Howard's decision to spurn his club. 七度入選明星賽的中鋒Howard在11月1號迎戰來訪的小牛時攻下13分16籃板，帶領火箭以113-105獲勝，小牛的老闆Mark Cuban在當時放話說DH加入火箭是愚蠢的決定。 "Obviously, he made a mistake in judgment," Cuban said before the game. "Do I blame him? No, that's what young kids do. They make mistakes in judgment." Cuban在賽前說："明顯的他犯了錯誤，不過我不怪他，年輕人就是這樣，不斷的犯錯。" Howard insists that he doesn't have any hard feelings toward Cuban, and couldn't be happier about his pick to join Houston instead of the Mavericks. Through 11 games, he's averaging 17.2 points, a league-high 13.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks. Howard堅持對Cuban並不排斥，且對於加盟火箭而非小牛時感到高興。Howard本季 11場比賽平均17.2分13.9籃板2.4阻攻，目前是聯盟籃板王。 "What would you want him to say? He's taking up for his team," Howard responded. "I would do the same thing if somebody didn't want to play with me. I would think they made a bad decision ... if I would have went to his team he would have been happy." Howard對Cuban的回應是："你覺得Cuban會怎麼說，他當然會替球隊說話，如果有球員不想為我打球，我也會有這樣的反應。但我不會認為這是錯誤的決定，只不過是如果我加入小牛他會比較開心而已。" Now the Dallas fans will have their say with Howard looking to lead the Rockets to their first win in Dallas since a 116-108 overtime victory on Dec. 18, 2009. 小牛迷們期待明天可以對Howard發洩，而火箭自從2009年12月18日以116-108在延長賽擊敗小牛之後，就沒有在小牛主場贏過球。 The Mavericks, however, seek their first 6-0 start at home since 2007-08. 小牛則是希望在2007-08賽季之後拿下首次的開季主場六連勝。 Houston has gotten back into a groove offensively during a three-game winning streak, averaging 113.3 points on 51.1 percent shooting. The Rockets put up 40 first-quarter points and shot 72.2 percent in the first half en route to a 109-85 victory over visiting Boston on Tuesday. 火箭在最近的三連勝中找回攻擊手感，平均113.3分，命中率51.1%，在今天以 109-85主場擊敗波士頓塞爾提克的比賽中，他們第一節攻下40分，上半場命中率更是高達72.2%。 "I think the guys have done a really good job of being attentive and making corrections," coach Kevin McHale said. "We've still got a long way to go, but we're getting better all the time." 火箭教練Kevin McHale說："我認為球員們表現的很好、很專注，也修正了之前的錯誤，賽季還很長，我們會持續進步。" Terrence Jones had a career-high 24 points on 10-of-12 shooting, while James Harden added 15 and Howard had 10 and 11 rebounds. Harden, the team's leading scorer with 24.3 points per game, had a game-high 34 in the first meeting earlier this month. Terrence Jones今天投12中10拿下生涯新高24分，James Harden攻下15分，Howard 則有10分11籃板。Harden以場均24.3分作為火箭得分王，在本季稍早對上小牛的比賽攻下34分。 Dirk Nowitzki had 22 points and Monta Ellis added 20 for the Mavericks, who shot a season-low 38.0 percent from the field. The Rockets, though, have given up 112.0 points on 44.2 percent shooting in five road games. Dirk Nowitzki在上一次對上火箭攻下22分，Monta Ellis則有20分，那場比賽小牛的命中率是本季最低的38.0%。然而火箭在本季五場客場作戰平均失分是112.0分，對手命中率44.2%。 Ellis finished with 24 points and 10 assists in a 97-94 win over Philadelphia on Monday. He's scored at least 18 in all 11 games, the longest streak to start a career in Dallas. 昨天Ellis攻下24分10助攻，幫助小牛以97-94主場擊退費城七六人，他在本季代表小牛出賽的11場比賽最少能攻下18分，是小牛隊史上第一遭。 "We've got so many guys that can score, and my main thing is attack and make plays for not only myself but for others," Ellis told the team's official website. Ellis在球隊官網訪問時說："我們有很多能得分的球員，我的主要目的就是攻擊，為我自己和其他人製造得分機會。" The Mavericks hope to continue playing well defensively, allowing 96.4 points per game while winning four of five. They had given up 108.0 over the first six contests. 小牛希望持續最近防守的感覺，最近五戰平均失分僅96.4分，其中拿下四勝，在那之前的六場比賽平均失分108.0分。希望明天能打敗強敵火箭延續主場連勝!! Let's Go Mavs!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 163.21.47.220
