[Preview] 11/82: vs. Chicago Bulls, 11 a.m.(KT)

Carmelo Anthony wasn't shy about predicting success for the Denver Nuggets before the season started. With the Nuggets bouncing back from a humbling losing streak, Anthony's forecast is beginning to seem a lot more likely. 덴버 너게츠의 시즌 출발이 좋다.   Anthony and the Nuggets go for their sixth straight win on Tuesday when they host the Chicago Bulls in the finale of a four-game homestand. 너게츠는 화요일 홈 4연전의 마지막 경기인 시카고 불스전에서 6연승에 도전한다.   The Nuggets (7-3) finished last season strong before getting eliminated from the playoffs in the first round for the fourth straight year. Despite the postseason disappointment, spirits were high entering this season - the Nuggets' first full campaign with Anthony and Allen Iverson, whom they acquired from Philadelphia last December. 너게츠(7-3)는 지난 시즌까지 4년 연속으로 플레이오프 1라운드에서 탈락했다. - 앤소니와 앨런 아이버슨은 처음으로 이번 시즌 너게츠에서 풀시즌을 소화하게 된다, 그는 지난 12월 필라델피아에 트레이드 됐었다.   "A championship, that's our goal," Anthony said during training camp, estimating a franchise-record 60 wins for Denver this season. "We're not far away from the (defending champion) Spurs." "우리는 챔피언십을 원한다," 앤소니는 트레이닝 캠프 당시, 이번 시즌 덴버의 60승을 원한다고 말했었다. "상대가 (디펜딩 챔피언) 스퍼스라도 상관 없다."   Anthony's prediction was looking a little premature after Denver dropped below .500 on Nov. 7 with a third consecutive loss, 119-93 to Boston. The Nuggets trailed by 39 points at halftime in that game. 덴버는 지난 7일 보스턴 원정에서 93-119로 참패하며 승률이 5할 밑으로 떨어졌었다. 당시 너게츠는 전반 39득점에 그쳤다.   "Before that game we were walking around thinking we won something before we won anything," Anthony said Saturday. "It was a blessing. The way they beat us? We learned a lot from that."   Since that defeat, the Nuggets have averaged 115.6 points while allowing only 94.8 per game in five straight wins. They're shooting 50.2 percent as a team, including 41.0 percent from 3-point range, during the run. 이후, 너게츠는 평균 115.6득점을 기록하고 실점은 평균 94.8점으로 5연승을 달리고 있다. 50.2%의 팀 야투율과, 41%의 3점슛율을 보이고 있다.   "We've taken that loss (in Boston) and turned it into a win," Denver coach George Karl said. "That's a sign of a pretty professional team." "보스턴전 패배가 약이 된 셈이다," 덴버 조지 칼 감독이 말했다.   Anthony and Iverson combined for 47 points on 18-for-31 shooting in a 115-83 victory over New York on Saturday. In each game of Denver's win streak, the duo has combined for at least 45 points and the Nuggets have topped 100. 앤소니와 아이버슨은 지난 토요일 뉴욕전에서 47득점(18/31)을 합작하며 팀의 115-83 승리를 이끌었다.   Chicago (2-7), meanwhile, has been forced to deal with the absence of one of its leading scorers. 시카고(2-7)는, 출발이 좋지 못하다.   The Bulls already were struggling when they learned Luol Deng would miss Sunday night's game against the Los Angeles Lakers because of lower back pain. Deng averaged 18.8 points and 7.1 rebounds - both career highs - while playing all 82 games last season. His status for Tuesday is uncertain. 불스는 루올 뎅이 등 부상으로 지난 일요일 LA 레이커스와의 원정경기에 뛰지 못했다. 뎅은 평균 18.8득점과 7.1리바운드 - 커리어 하이 - 지난 시즌 82경기를 다 뛰었다.   Without one of their key players, the Bulls were blown out 61-32 in the second half to lose to the Lakers 106-78. They gave up 18 straight points in a four-minute stretch between the third and fourth quarters. 핵심선수가 빠진, 불스는 후반에만 32-61로 밀리며 레이커스에 78-106으로 패했다.   "It seems like we ran out of gas," said Bulls guard Ben Gordon, who scored 20 points. 벤 고든은 20득점 했다.   The loss dropped Chicago to 1-2 midway through its annual early season road trip which occurs when the circus comes to the United Center. The Bulls are 6-49 on the trip since Michael Jordan left the team in 1998.   "We're just inconsistent, myself included," said Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich, who shot 3-of-11 and scored eight points with six turnovers Sunday. "Everybody just needs to do their job, and hopefully we'll find our way out of this thing." 불스 가드 커크 하인리히는, 일요일에 슛 11번 시도 중 3개만을 성공시켰고 8득점에 턴오버 6개를 저질렀다.   Hinrich averaged 24.5 points and 8.0 assists against Denver in 2006-07 as the Bulls and Nuggets split their two-game season series. Both games were decided by four points or fewer. 하인리히는 2006-07시즌 덴버와의 두 경기에서 평균 24.5득점과 8어시스트를 기록했다.   Anthony has averaged 31.8 points in his last five games against Chicago. 앤소니는 시카고와의 지난 5경기에서 평균 31.8득점.
