Mavericks-Lakers Preview


Kobe Bryant and Dirk Nowitzki were born just two months apart in 1978, and
they've both been NBA superstars for over a decade. They've won one league
MVP award apiece, and Bryant has only a slight edge in career scoring
averages and All-Star appearances.

Kobe Bryant和Dirk Nowitzki同在1978年出生，只差了兩個月，也都是
NBA近10年來的超級巨星，各拿下一座聯盟MVP，Kobe只在生涯總得分與
入選明星賽次數上稍稍贏過Dirk。


Nobody would ever compare Nowitzki with Bryant in the metrics that matter
most, however. In championships, in big-game performances, Dirk just isn't in
Kobe's league.

然而沒什麼人對他們兩個在這幾個面相做比較。不過在冠軍戒指，大賽
表現上，Dirk還遠遠不急Kobe。


Yet after Nowitzki and his Dallas Mavericks thoroughly outplayed Bryant's Los
Angeles Lakers down the stretch of their 96-94 comeback victory in their
second-round series opener, Nowitzki's teammates think this might be the
season their German 7-footer erases their mutual postseason reputation -
although he'll have to damage Bryant's invincible aura to do it.

在Dirk率領的達拉斯小牛徹底的贏過了由Kobe率領的洛杉磯湖人，以
96-94逆轉拿下西區第二輪的開門紅之後，Dirk的隊友們認為該是這
位7呎的德國長人與小牛挽回季後賽聲譽的球季，但是他得先打敗無
敵的Kobe。


"He always wants the ball down the stretch, and he always finds a way to get
it done," said Dallas guard Jason Kidd, whose veteran defensive savvy also
caused problems for Bryant. "He likes that stage. You don't find a lot of
guys who like that stage. Kobe is one of them, but (Nowitzki) has done a lot
of work to get there with him. He and Kobe are the two best players on the
floor, and he found a way to get it done last night."

Game 2 is Wednesday night at Staples Center.

小牛後衛Jason Kidd說："他總是在關鍵時刻要球，也總是找到得分的
方法。他喜歡這個舞台，你不會找到很多人喜歡在這樣的場合。Kobe
是其中之一，但是Dirk也完成了很多任務並且趕上他。他與Kobe是場
上最強的兩個人，他前一場就找到了贏球的方法。"Kidd上一戰判斷得
當，迫使Kobe沒有接到球。

第二戰比賽將於明天在Staples Center開打。


Although Bryant is widely perceived to be the NBA's best late-game scorer
after a 15-year career filled with clutch play, some statistics show Dirk is
a better closer than Kobe, including Nowitzki's superior shooting percentage
on last-minute shots in tight games. Bryant has missed crucial shots in
several buzzer-beating situations over the past few postseasons, including
his miss off the back rim to end Game 1.

儘管Kobe在15年的生涯中多次投進關鍵一擊，並且廣被認為是全NBA
最後關頭最好的得分手，但一些數據顯示德維拉比柯維拉還強，包括
Dirk在接近戰最後一分鐘的命中率超高。Kobe則是在近幾年的季後賽
最後一擊常常失手，包括昨天他的致勝球彈框而出。


Nowitzki scored 11 points in the fourth quarter Monday night during the
Mavericks' first-ever playoff win in Los Angeles, including four in the final
40 seconds. With Staples Center collectively screaming in his ear with 19.5
seconds to play, Nowitzki coolly made two free throws to give Dallas its
first lead of the second half.

Dirk昨天在第四節拿下11分，包括了最後40秒內的四分，讓小牛得以
在季後賽首次於洛杉磯贏球。在Staples Center滿場球迷尖叫吶喊干
擾他時，Dirk在最後19.5秒穩穩罰進兩球，讓小牛取得下半場的首度
領先。


"I've basically seen it all in this league," Nowitzki said after the
Mavericks' workout at the Los Angeles Clippers' training complex. "It's my
13th year. I've got to be ready for anything. I can adjust to just about
anything, and the good thing is we've got a lot of shooters on this team. We
can do a lot of things."

Dirk在利用洛杉磯快艇隊的場地練完球之後表示："我在聯盟裡什麼
大風大浪都見過了，這是我的第13年了，我已經準備好所有挑戰，
我幾乎可以適應所有事情。好事是我們隊上有很多射手。我們可以
完成很多事。"


Bryant scored 21 of his 36 points in the second half, but he couldn't close
out the Mavs. His bad pass was stolen by Jason Terry with 20 seconds left,
and he fumbled a handoff from Pau Gasol with 4 seconds to play before missing
that catch-and-shoot 3-pointer.

Kobe在下半場得到全場36分當中的21分，但他無法終結小牛。他在
最後20秒的傳球被Jason Terry抄掉。接著在最後4秒Pau Gasol要把
球交給他時滑倒。最後他投失了絕殺的三分球。


Nowitzki was the cooler playoff customer, while Bryant made crucial mistakes
to cap the Lakers' collapse. No wonder Staples Center fans appeared more
confused than angry after their team blew a 16-point lead to lose their
second straight series opener.

Dirk在季後賽相當冷靜，而Kobe犯下關鍵失誤導致湖人崩盤。難怪
Staples Center的球迷對於湖人花光16分的領先優勢而連續兩次輸
掉第一戰後，感覺到的是困惑而不是生氣。


"I'm not clutch," Bryant deadpanned after sitting out another practice at the
Lakers' training complex.

Kobe沒有參加團隊的練球，面無表情的坐著說："我不關鍵。"


Nowitzki and Bryant have struck up a friendship during times together at
All-Star games or the Olympics, but Bryant doesn't feel a personal rivalry
with Nowitzki. After all, they had never met in the playoffs before Game 1.

Dirk與Kobe在明星賽和奧運期間建立了友誼，但Kobe並不把Dirk
視為對手，畢竟他們在上一戰之沒有在季後賽對戰過。


"It's different, because it's not a personal challenge for me to try to stop
him or make things difficult for him," Bryant said. "It's a little different
in that regard."

Kobe說："這有點不同，要試著守住他並不是我的工作，就這一點
而言不太一樣。"


Their career postseason scoring averages are nearly identical, around 25.5
points apiece, and they're both among the highest in NBA history. But Bryant
has scored at least 30 points in 81 playoff games, more than anybody except
Michael Jordan, and his steady brilliance has pushed the Lakers to seven NBA
finals, including the past three.

他們兩人季後賽的場均得分幾乎一樣，在25.5分左右，也都在NBA
歷史上名列前矛。但是Kobe曾在季後賽81度得分破30，史上僅次於
Michael Jordan。而且他的成就曾經帶領湖人七度殺進總冠軍戰，
包括最近的三年。


Nowitzki's offensive talents are unique among 7-footers, but he still hasn't
led the Mavericks to the franchise's first title during a decade of playoff
appearances.

Dirk的進攻天份與一般的7呎長人不同，但他在最近10年多次進到
季後賽卻還未曾帶領小牛拿到過隊史的首座總冠軍。


He got close in 2006, but Nowitzki shot poorly while the Mavericks blew a 2-0
lead over the Miami Heat to lose the NBA finals. A year later, Dallas was
knocked out of the first round by eighth-seeded Golden State, and Nowitzki
went 2 for 13 in the Warriors' clinching victory after a horrific series
effort, forcing him into the bittersweet spectacle of accepting his only NBA
MVP award after the Mavericks had been eliminated.

他在2006年很接近冠軍，但在小牛取得2-0領先之後Dirk的命中率
相當不理想，小牛浪費了2-0的優勢並且把冠軍讓給邁阿密熱火。
隔年小牛在第一輪被勇士KO出局，在勇士的關門戰Dirk投13中2，
整個系列賽的成績相當爛，讓他在小牛被淘汰之後只能苦中作樂
的接受MVP的獎座。


Dallas had won just one round in the previous four postseasons combined, even
with Nowitzki averaging more than 26 points per game over the past three
years, before knocking off Portland in the first round this spring. The Trail
Blazers set the stage for a typical Mavs collapse by coming back from a
23-point deficit in Game 4 to even the series - but Dallas responded with two
impressive closeout wins.

在小牛今年第一輪擊退拓荒者之前，小牛在過去四年只贏過一個
系列賽，儘管Dirk最近三年的季後賽平均得分破26分。拓荒者在
第四戰的23分大逆轉讓小牛的典型劇場大崩盤重現，但小牛在之
後的兩戰讓人印象深刻的終結系列賽。


"We're mentally tougher than we have been," Nowitzki said. "It showed after
the meltdown in Portland, coming back and winning two games when everybody
said we were dead. We're a lot of veteran guys who have been around a lot in
this league."

Dirk說："我們在心靈上比以前堅強了，在波特蘭我們崩盤，但是
在大家覺得我們完蛋了之後我們連贏了兩場。我們是一群有經驗
的老將，在這個聯盟打滾了很多年。"


After Nowitzki's 28-point, 14-rebound performance in Game 1, the Lakers
claimed they aren't planning a new defensive approach. Gasol, Lamar Odom and
Ron Artest will share defensive duties, but Los Angeles realizes it must
improve its rotation to prevent Nowitzki's teammates from spreading the floor
for open shots.

在Dirk第一戰繳出28分14籃板的成績單之後，湖人宣稱他們對於
防守的方法沒有新的計畫。Gasol、Lamar Odom和Ron Artest要擔
起這項任務。但湖人知道他們的輪轉防守得做的更好，才能避免
Dirk的隊友散佈在場上並且找到空檔投籃。


The Lakers appeared thoroughly unperturbed by their third loss in seven
postseason games this spring, even after blowing a 16-point lead. Unlike the
Mavs, they have a large memory bank filled with postseason resilience to draw
upon when things go wrong.

湖人在最近的七場季後賽輸了三場，但他們完全不受影響，儘管
上一戰敗掉了16分的領先。不像小牛，他們在季後賽曾經多次在
季後賽反彈。


"We're playing against one of the best teams in the NBA, and there's no
anticipation of being able to get up to a certain level and be able to
maintain a lead," Lakers guard Derek Fisher said. "We've accepted the fact
that it won't be perfect. We're going to lose games."

湖人後衛Derek Fisher說："我們在跟全NBA最好的球隊之一較量，
不能期待用這樣的表現還能穩住領先優勢，我們接受不能保持完
美的事實，我們會輸掉一些比賽。"


好啊老漁  那明天就給你們輸囉~~XD

整篇都是陳腔濫調...又在提小牛的血淚史...
今年振作啊!!  就可以不用再提這些過往了
而且這一整篇都在講Dirk跟Kobe...其他隊友還有教練幾乎都沒提到= =

總之  明天絕對不能覺得在洛杉磯贏一場就夠了
拿出全力拼吧  拿著2-0回達拉斯!!!!

Let's Go Mavs!!
