第12名 夏洛特黃蜂：上週排名：21

This year’s Charlotte Hornets have not so far resembled the abject disaster that slogged its way to a 6-19 start last fall. A moderate offseason rebuild and the decidedly more adaptable rotation decisions of head coach Steve Clifford will make sure that continues.
今年的夏洛特黃蜂隊至今為止還沒有類似去年秋天步履維艱的開季6勝19敗的慘烈災難。季外適當的重建，與教練Steve Clifford更合宜果斷的輪替決策，將確定這會延續下去。

A rough start has given way to steadier play, and Charlotte’s “whoever’s hot will play” approach is a big reason why. Al Jefferson didn’t log a fourth-quarter minute in the Hornets’ Nov. 1 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves or their nail-biting victory against the New York Knicks on Nov. 11.
在艱難中的起步已經給出了更穩定的打法，而夏洛特的“手最火熱的人將上場”的做法是一個很大的原因。黃蜂在１１月１０日贏了灰狼的比賽中，或他們在１１月１１日對抗紐約尼克隊的扣人心弦的勝利，Al Jefferson第四節一分鐘都沒上。

Instead, bench units led by Jeremy Lin and Jeremy Lamb shouldered the scoring load while Cody Zeller saw time inside. Zeller, in fact, made up for a pair of late free-throw misses with a game-winning duck-in layup against New York.
反而由林書豪與Lamb領軍的第二陣容一肩挑起得分的重擔，同時Zeller也獲得內線上場的時間，他實際上在對抗紐約時，以比賽致勝的鴨式上籃彌補了比賽末期的兩計失罰。

Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer: “This is Team Gyration. They will be more entertaining than the two previous seasons. They will also be more unpredictable in both their highs and lows.”
夏洛特觀察者報的Rick Bonnell：“這團隊迴轉了，他們會比前兩個賽季更有娛樂性。他們的頂峰與低點也更加不可預測。”

So far, so good. Charlotte has climbed to 4-4 after a 1-3 start.
到目前為止，一切都很好。夏洛特在開季1-3後，開始攀升至4-4。
