Mavericks-Bobcats Preview


With Dirk Nowitzki playing at a high level again, the Dallas Mavericks have
looked all but unstoppable over the last two weeks.

As far as the Charlotte Bobcats are concerned, that's been true for much
longer.

當Dirk Nowitzki再度回到巔峰狀態，達拉斯小牛最近兩週勢不可擋。對
於山貓來說，這是他們一直以來的夢魘。


Nowitzki and the Mavericks will try stay unbeaten against the Bobcats on
Saturday night at Time Warner Cable Arena, where they will go for their
eighth straight win overall.

Nowitzki continues to get better after he sat out nine games from Dec.
28-Jan. 14 with a sprained right knee, during which Dallas (34-15) went 2-7.
After initially struggling to regain his shooting touch, Nowitzki has shot
65.4 percent the last four games while scoring 29 points in each of the last
two.

Dirk所帶領的小牛試圖保持對戰山貓的不敗之身，到Time Warner Cable Arena
挑戰他們最近的八連勝。Dirk在右膝扭傷的傷勢復原之後打的越來越好，
小牛在他受傷的時候2勝7敗，在復原之後他也花了一段時間找尋手感，最
近四場Dirk的命中率來到65.4%，也連續兩場得了29分。


He helped lead Dallas to a 101-97 victory at Eastern Conference-leading
Boston on Friday. Nowitzki scored 21 points in the second half and when he
had trouble handling the ball on a late possession, he found Jason Kidd, who
hit a 3-pointer with 2.5 seconds left to give Dallas a 99-97 lead.

"You've got so many players that have been through (close games) on this
team," said former Bobcats center Tyson Chandler, who had 14 points and 15
rebounds. "We've got options to go to down the stretch."

他幫助小牛今天以101-97打敗東區龍頭波士頓塞爾提克，Dirk下半場攻得
21分，最後讀秒階段他球沒有掌握的很好，不過他找到三分線外等著的
Jason Kidd，他順利在最後2.5秒砍進超前三分彈。過去曾效力過山貓的
Tyson Chandler說："隊上有許多以小比分贏球經驗的球員，我們在關鍵
時刻有很多選擇。"拳王今天攻下14分15籃板。


The win was Dallas' seventh straight, improving the team to 15-7 on the road.
Saturday will close the Mavericks' three-game road trip, which they opened
with a 113-97 win at New York on Wednesday.

Dallas is looking to remain undefeated against the Bobcats after improving to
13-0 all-time in the series with a 101-86 home victory Oct. 27. Charlotte has
beaten every other team.

這是小牛的七連勝，客場戰績提升到15勝7負，明天是小牛東區三連戰的
最終章，他們第一戰是以113-97擊敗尼克。小牛今年開季就是以101-86
在主場擊退山貓，小牛隊史碰上山貓是13勝0敗，山貓已經打敗過聯盟中
其他所有球隊。


Nowitzki has been key to the Mavericks' success against Charlotte. He's
averaging 26.2 points over his career against the Bobcats, his highest
average against any opponent besides Boston. Nowitzki had 28 points and 13
rebounds in the last meeting, shooting 11 of 13 from the field and 6 of 6
from the free-throw line.

Dirk是小牛對上山貓，的成功秘訣，他生涯碰上山貓平均可以攻得26.2分，
是僅次於對上塞爾提克的次好成績。Dirk上次對戰攻下28分13籃板，他投13
中11，罰6中6。


Charlotte (21-28) continues a difficult stretch after a 109-97 loss to Miami
on Friday. Returning home following a 4-2 road trip, the Bobcats struggled
late, finishing with 16 turnovers, which led to 31 Heat points.

The Bobcats were within two in the final minute of the third quarter, but the
Heat went on a 14-4 run to take a 92-80 lead early in the fourth.

夏洛特山貓的賽程依然艱苦，今天以97-109在家輸給邁阿密熱火，他們在
客場之旅拿下4勝2敗的好戰績回家，不過他們後半段打的不順，犯下16次
失誤讓熱火因此多得31分。


"I think at the end a veteran team with veteran players got things going
their way," said Gerald Wallace, who scored 25 points after combining for 31
the previous four games. "Some mental mistakes and some lapses on defense
turned out to be the game."

Stephen Jackson also had 25 points. He's averaging 29.3 in the last three
games.

前四場總共只得31分，今天攻下25分的Gerald Wallace說："我認為一支
經驗豐富的球隊可以掌控比賽，我們犯下太多心理層面的錯誤，防守也
出現一些漏洞，注定這場比賽的失敗。"Stephen Jackson也攻下25分，
他最近三場平均可以拿到29.3分。


Charlotte, which is in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, has struggled
against other playoff contenders, also losing to Utah and Atlanta during the
last two weeks to fall to 5-20 against teams currently in playoff position.
The Bobcats' tough stretch continues Monday, when the team will host Boston.

"We'll see what we're about," coach Paul Silas said.

山貓目前在東區排名第八，不過對上排名在分區前八的球隊表現並不理想，
近兩週也分別輸過爵士與老鷹，他們碰上分區前八球隊的戰績只有5勝20敗，
山貓接下來也不好過，將要在主場面對塞爾提克。山貓教練Paul Silas說：
"我們可以看出自己的實力到底在哪個等級。"


To beat the Mavericks, Charlotte likely must increase its production on the
offensive end. The Bobcats are averaging 88.7 points in the all-time series
and have never surpassed 99. However, they are averaging only 90 points in
their last four games overall.

要打敗小牛，山貓必須增強自己的進攻。山貓在歷史上對上小牛平均只能
得到88.7分，得分更是從未超過99分。然而他們最近四次平均也只得到90
分而已。


對上從未輸過的山貓  就讓連勝繼續保持下去吧

Let's Go Mavs!!
