[Preview] 14/82: @ Houston, 10:30 a.m.(KT)

After back-to-back nights of poor shooting, the Denver Nuggets try to snap out of their offensive funk as they visit the struggling Houston Rockets on Saturday. 덴버 너게츠는 백-투-백으로, 토요일에 휴스턴 로케츠와의 원정경기를 갖는다.   Denver (9-4) has shot below 40 percent from the field its last two games, including a 101-90 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday - ending a six-game winning streak - and a 99-93 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. 덴버(9-4)는 지난 2경기에서 40%에 못미치는 야투율을 기록했다, 수요일에는 LA 클리퍼스에 90-101로 졌고 - 6연승 끝 - 금요일에는 미네소타에 99-93으로 승리했다.   After shooting 39.1 percent from the field versus the Clippers, the Nuggets shot just 38 percent against the Timberwolves, going 3-of-14 from 3-point range. 클리퍼스전에서는 39.1%의 슛률을 기록했고, 너게츠는 팀버울브스전에서도 38%를 기록했는데, 3점슛은 14개를 던져 3개만을 성공시켰다.   "It was an ugly shooting game," said Carmelo Anthony. "It was an ugly win today. But it was a grinding win." "슛이 안들어가 어려운 경기를 했다," 카멜로 앤소니가 말했다. "오늘 터프샷이 많았지만 이겼다. 하지만 불안하게 이겼다."   Anthony had 31 points on Friday despite 10 of 22 shooting, and is averaging 25.8 points overall. Both he and guard Allen Iverson (24.0 ppg) are among the top 10 scorers in the league. 앤소니는 금요일에 31득점(10/22) 했는데, 평균 25.8득점을 기록하고 있다. 가드 앨런 아이버슨(24득점)과 함께 리그 득점 부문 10위 안에 이름을 올려놓고 있다.   They helped the Nuggets average 115 points on 50.3 percent shooting during the winning streak, with Anthony scoring 26.8 points per game during that stretch. But their lackluster effort on Friday nearly cost them a victory until a game-breaking 10-0 run in the final three minutes. 너게츠는 연승을 하는 동안 평균 115득점에 50.3%의 슛률을 보였는데, 앤소니는 경기당 26.8득점을 기록했었다. 하지만 금요일에는 어려운 경기를 하다 마지막 3분을 남겨놓고 10-0으로 달리면서 승기를 잡았다.   "There's no gimmes in this league," said Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin, who had a season-high 18 points after going scoreless on Wednesday. "Everybody comes to play every night." "쉬운 리그가 아니다," 너게츠 포워드 케년 마틴이 말했다, 그는 수요일에 시즌 최다인 18득점을 올리며 전 경기 무득점의 수모를 씻었다.   The Rockets (6-7) may be the perfect opponent for the Nuggets as Houston is trying to end a six-game losing streak that has wiped out its 6-1 start. Yao Ming and Luis Scola each scored 20 points and Tracy McGrady added 19 and 10 rebounds in a 98-91 loss to the Miami Heat on Friday, but Houston allowed Miami to shoot 55.4 percent and hurt its cause by missing eight free throws. 로케츠(6-7)는 너게츠가 연승하는 동안 6연패를 당하며 6승 1패로 출발했던 것을 다 까먹었다. 야오 밍과 루이스 스콜라가 20득점씩 하고 트레이시 맥그레디가 19득점에 10리바운드를 했지만 팀은 금요일 마이애미 히트에 91-98로 패했다, 휴스턴은 마이애미에 55.4%의 슛을 내줬고 자유투 8개를 실패했다.   "It's an execution problem we're having right now closing out games," McGrady said. "Whether it's defensive execution or offense ... we're just doing a bad job of executing." "문제가 많은 경기를 했다," 맥그레디가 말했다.   McGrady averaged 27.3 points in the fast start before suffering an elbow injury that caused him to miss two games. He has averaged 19.0 points in two games since his return, but shot just 33.3 percent (13-for-39) and also missed five of the eight free throws in Friday's defeat. 맥그레디는 평균 27.3득점을 기록하고 있는데 2경기를 팔꿈치 부상으로 결장했었다.   With opponents able to minimize McGrady, coach Rick Adelman said someone has to step up for the Rockets.   "They're taking the ball out of Tracy's hands and we've got to make plays," he said.   Yao is averaging 22.5 points but shooting 51.0 percent, his lowest since converting 49.8 percent of his shots in his 2002-03 rookie season. 야오는 평균 22.5득점을 하고 있지만 슛률이 51%에 불과하다, 그의 슛율이 가장 낮았던 때는 신인이었던 2002-03시즌으로 49.8%였었다.   The Rockets are mired in their worst losing streak since a seven-game skid from Jan. 6-18, 2006. 로케츠의 최다 연패는 지난 2006년 1월 6일부터 18일까지 당한 7연패다.   Houston won two of three games against Denver last season, but the Nuggets won the lone game in Houston as Iverson totaled 36 points and 10 assists. 휴스턴은 지난 시즌 덴버와의 3경기에서 2승을 거뒀었다, 하지만 너게츠는 휴스턴에서 앨런 아이버슨이 36득점과 10개의 어시스트를 기록하며 승리했던 적이 있다.   The Rockets have won four of the last five games between the teams and 12 of 18 since Yao entered the league.
