http://tinyurl.com/4b9ly8a (簡略翻譯) Dwight Howard has won the NBA rebounding title in each of the past three seasons, and a fourth straight would put him in a class with some of the league's most historically dominant big men. Love has a significant edge over Howard as the NBA's top two rebounders go head-to-head Saturday night at the Target Center, where Love's Minnesota Timberwolves try to hand Howard's Orlando Magic a third straight loss. Wilt Chamberlain, Moses Malone, Dennis Rodman and Kevin Garnett are the only players to have won four consecutive rebounding titles, a feat Chamberlain pulled off twice. Howard seemed poised to join that group after comfortably winning the crown the past three seasons. Love has put that pursuit in jeopardy as the season hits the halfway point. His 15.7 rebounds per game are not only 2.3 more than Howard, but the most since Rodman averaged 16.1 in 1996-97 and more than anyone other than Rodman since Malone grabbed 17.6 per contest in 1978-79. Both Love and Howard also are having their best seasons offensively. Love hit 5 of 6 3-pointers on his way to 35 points Thursday against Washington, also pulling down 11 rebounds for his 26th straight double-double as Minnesota (10-30) won 109-97 without the injured Michael Beasley. "It's a tough guard when you've got a 4 man who can shoot the ball," said the 6-foot-9 Love, shooting 45.4 percent from beyond the arc. "Six-foot-eight or above and shooting the 3-ball like that, its tough to guard." Even though the Magic have won nine of 11, their penchant for slow starts has Van Gundy concerned. Orlando has been behind after the first quarter in eight of its last 10 contests. "I don't like that trend," Van Gundy said. "Whether we have to make changes in that lineup or something, but those guys - we're just always in a hole now and that's not good." The Magic certainly didn't have trouble getting off to a fast start when they hosted Minnesota on Nov. 3. They shot 60.9 percent and hit five 3-pointers while outscoring the Timberwolves 37-18 in the opening 12 minutes en route to a 128-86 drubbing. Orlando led by 33 at halftime in its fifth straight win versus Minnesota since Love's rookie season. Howard had 18 points, 16 rebounds and a season-high eight blocks while helping hold former Magic center Darko Milicic scoreless. Love had 22 points, nine boards, five turnovers and five fouls - one of the five games he's failed to record a double-double. Orlando has averaged 111.0 points in winning four straight at Minnesota. Howard已經是連三季籃板強者，現在要面對連四季的課題。再主場Love將有顯著的優勢在籃板王對決上壓下Howard，灰狼隊嘗試讓魔術隊三連敗。 Wilt Chamberlain, Moses Malone, Dennis Rodman and Kevin Garnett都有連續四季籃板王頭銜，Chamberlain有兩次，Howard看似自若地可以加入這籃板王者群組，因為他輕鬆地贏了3季籃板王。 Love從半路中殺出給了Howard危險感覺，Love平均15.7籃板，比Howard多了 2.3個，這是從96-97年Rodman16.1籃板，78-79年Malone17.6籃板以來還多的 Love這球季有最好的進攻能力，對巫師隊時三分球6投5中，總共獲得35分，也拉了11個籃板達成第26次Double-Double，在沒有Beasley下獲得第10勝。 Love說：「那真是很困難的防守，當有4個人都會長射時」，而4人之1的Love 在三分線外有45.4%命中率，當有一個6呎8吋以上的球員有這種三分命中率，那真的很難防守。即使魔術隊贏了11場的9場，但他們慢熱型態已引起教頭Van Gundy的關切，他們已在最後10場中的8場，第一節就落後，Van Gundy說：「不喜歡這種趨勢，也許必須做些陣容上或戰術上改變，但他們都是好球員，現在也只能一直在漏洞中討生活，而這並不是好事。魔術對輕鬆寫意地在9月3日時對灰狼隊獲得勝利，60.9%命中率有5個三分球，在一開始第12分鐘就以37比18領先，最後贏得勝利。 Love是新人時與魔術隊對戰，在中場時魔術獲得33分領先，當時Howard有16分、 16籃板球季新高8火鍋，同時讓米粒得分能力喪去，那次Love有22分9籃板5次失誤 4次犯規，5場比賽中的一場沒有Double-Double，總計魔術隊平均111分四連勝灰狼隊。 ORL MIN 3rd Southeast 5th Northwest W 25 10 L 14 30 L10 8-2 4-6 H 15-5 8-11 A 10-9 2-19 ORL MIN PPG Howard 21.9 Love 21.5 RPG Howard 13.4 Love 15.7 APG Nelson 6.7 Ridnour 5.8 BPG Howard 2.3 Milicic 2.3 SPG Howard 1.2 Brewer 1.7 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 58.115.112.236
