Mavericks-Magic Preview


The Dallas Mavericks have stopped six opponent winning streaks of at least
five games this season, including two 12-game runs after notching an
impressive victory over the NBA's newest superstar trio.

The Orlando Magic would like a little help ending a different kind of trend.

Orlando's new-look roster plays at home for the first time Tuesday night,
when it tries to solve the Mavericks' road dominance while avoiding its
eighth loss in nine games.

小牛目前已經擋下六支五場以上連勝的球隊，包括了今天讓人印象深刻的擊敗了
NBA最新的三巨頭。然而魔術則是需要一點幫助讓這個趨勢反轉過來，魔術的全新
陣容明天將首度在主場亮相，要試著解決小牛客場的壓倒性強勢，更要擺脫近九
戰八敗的窘境。


Dallas (22-5) had a 12-game winning streak snapped Dec. 13 at home against
Milwaukee, but it's been awfully good thwarting streaks itself.

The Mavericks entered Monday having already ended streaks by Boston, Oklahoma
City, New Orleans, Utah and San Antonio totaling 37 games - the most
impressive of which was a 103-94 road win last month to snap the Spurs'
12-game run.

小牛之前主場輸給公鹿中斷了12連勝，不過把別人的連勝中斷更爽！小牛本季也已
經斬斷了塞爾提克、黃蜂、爵士與馬刺加起來共37場的連勝場次，最讓人記憶猶新
的就是上個月在客場中斷了馬刺的12連勝。


Dallas may have outdone itself in Miami. The Heat had won 12 consecutive
games by an average of 15.2 points before being held to 40.5 percent shooting
in Monday's 98-96 loss to the Mavericks.

"I don't make a huge deal out of (it)," Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said. "We
are just trying to play solid basketball and win as many games as we can."

That's certainly what Dallas has done on the road. The Mavericks are 9-1 away
from the American Airlines Center, including six straight wins against teams
that are a combined 45 games above .500.


小牛的確打的比熱火好，熱火的12連勝當中平均勝分高達15.2分，不過今天的比賽
命中率被壓制到只剩40.5%。卡帥說："我不覺得這很重要，我們只是試著打好強硬
的球風，並盡可能的贏更多比賽。"這也的確是小牛客場的表現，小牛在客場的比賽
目前是九勝一敗，且已經拿到客場六連勝，這六個對手勝場數總和可是比敗場數多
了45場！

That can't be good news for the Magic (16-11), who have averaged 88.1 points
in losing seven of their last eight. Orlando shot 35.2 percent and looked out
of sorts Monday in a 91-81 loss at Atlanta as Gilbert Arenas, Jason
Richardson and Hedo Turkoglu made their debuts after Saturday's pair of
trades.

"We're starting from scratch," coach Stan Van Gundy said. "We would have all
liked it to have been better but it wasn't.

"Look, they're out there trying hard, just none of them played well. Nobody
could shoot the ball. ... I'm sure they had a lot of emotions and stuff going
on. It was a long night."

然而這對魔術絕對不是好消息，他們最近八場比賽輸了七場，期間平均得分只有
88.1分，今天對上老鷹的比賽命中率只有35.2%，結果以81-91敗陣。從兩筆交易
中魔術得到Gilbert Arenas、Jason Richardson與Hedo Turkoglu，但今天打的亂
成一團。教練Stan Van Gundy表示："我們從起跑線重新出發，我們希望打出更好
的比賽，但我們沒做到。瞧他們在場上拼命，只不過沒人打的好，沒有人投的進
球，我確定他們情緒有受到影響，這個晚上真是難受。"


Dwight Howard, who had his second straight 20-rebound performance in a loss,
took a more optimistic approach.

"Once we get going we'll be fine," Howard said. "It's been a terrible month
for us. We'll pull out of it. Nobody's hanging their heads."

魔獸Howard連續兩場比賽都抓下20個籃板，然而球隊都輸球，他卻有比較樂觀的
看法。他說："當我們磨合完畢之後就會好多了，這個月真是糟透了，我們會從中
脫穎而出，我們沒有人是垂頭喪氣的。"


The Magic have won their last two games in Dallas - Howard grabbed 20 boards
in a 97-82 win on April 1 - but they've witnessed the Mavericks' road
toughness before. Dallas has won its last four visits to Orlando, with a
nine-point victory the smallest margin in that stretch.

The Mavs have shot 51.3 percent in those victories.

What Dallas has done so effectively against good teams lately is defend. The
Mavericks have allowed just 94.7 points per game against opponents that are
.500 or better, more troubling news for a Magic team that's adjusting to a
new rotation.

魔術再達拉斯拿下二連勝，上次對決Howard就抓下了20個籃板，魔術也已97-82贏
球，不過他們也領教過小牛強勢的客場表現，小牛在奧蘭多已經拿到四連勝，最少
都能贏到9分，小牛在這四場比賽中命中率高達51.3%。小牛能夠如此有效的面對強
隊，靠的就是他們近來的防守。小牛對上五成勝率以上的對手，平均失分只有94.7
分，更讓魔術頭痛的是他們還在交易的陣痛期。


Arenas, the highest-profile member of Orlando's new trio, struggled in his
debut, missing nine of his 11 shots.

One of the guards that directly preceded Arenas in the University of Arizona
backcourt a decade ago had a rough three quarters Monday against the Heat
before catching fire. Jason Terry didn't score until the final 11 minutes but
finished with 19 points.

Terry is averaging 7.9 fourth-quarter points this month.

"That's what he does," Dirk Nowitzki said. "He's our finisher. He's our
closer."

Arenas是魔術交易來最大咖的球員，但他的魔術處女秀表現悽慘，投11球卻失了9
球。不過他以前在亞歷桑納大學的學長Jason Terry卻在前三節如游魂的表現之後，
第四節找到準心且手感發燙。不得分則已，Terry最後11分鐘砍下個人本場全部的
19分。Jet這個月第四節平均可以攻下17.9分！Dirk說："這就是他厲害的地方，他
是我們的終結者。"


今天打完熱火  希望小牛能連勝離開佛羅里達  享受美好的聖誕假期!!
魔術近況算是差的  小牛隊魔術客場一向也很有一套
那就請不要客氣的拿下來吧!!

Let's Go Mavs!!
