Mavericks-Timberwolves Preview


The Dallas Mavericks may have their swagger back now that the defending NBA
champions have notched their first win in four tries to kick off the
lockout-shortened season.

達拉斯小牛終於回到衛冕之路上了，他們在這個縮水球季裡直到
第四場比賽才拿到一勝。


Their rediscovered confidence could be tested Sunday night when the Mavericks
try to extend their dominance over the winless Minnesota Timberwolves.

他們好不容易找回來的自信，將在明天受到挑戰，對手將是小牛
一直打的很順手的明尼蘇達灰狼。


Dallas (1-3) swept the three-game season series in 2010-11, and is 18-1
against the Timberwolves dating back to Jan. 7, 2006. Over that 19-game
stretch, the Mavericks have gone 9-0 at the Target Center, winning by an
average of 15.5 points.

小牛去年球季與灰狼的對戰三戰全勝，而自從2006年1月7日以來，
小牛對上灰狼是18勝1敗。在這19場比賽中，小牛在Target Center
的9戰全勝，平均勝分高達15.5分。


Minnesota (0-3) - led by budding star Ricky Rubio - has lost all three of its
games by a combined nine points as it tries to turn the corner from NBA
doormat.

灰狼的領導者是萌芽中的新秀Ricky Rubio，不過灰狼開季三連敗，
而且總共才輸了9分，他們希望能度過這個難關。


Dallas had been in danger of being the first defending champion to start 0-4
since the 1969-70 Boston Celtics. Instead, the Mavericks got a career-high 19
points from Ian Mahinmi and 18 from Dirk Nowitzki in Friday's 99-86 win over
Toronto.

小牛本來有可能會成為自1969-70球季的塞爾提克之後，首次吞下
開季四連敗的衛冕軍。不過小牛靠著Ian Mahinmi攻下生涯新高的
19分，加上Dirk Nowitzki得到了18分，讓他們以99-86擊敗暴龍。


"We knew it would happen, it was just a matter of time," said Jason Terry,
who scored 10 of his 17 points in the third quarter as Dallas erased a
seven-point deficit. "… Now that we know how we have to play, we're a
confident team."

Jason Terry在第三節拿下全場17分當中的10分，幫助小牛從落後
七分倒趕回來。他說："我們知道首勝總會來的，只是時間早晚而
已。現在我們知道該怎麼打球了，我們充滿信心。"


Mahinmi, who had averaged fewer than four points over his first three NBA
seasons with San Antonio and Dallas, has been nearly perfect from the field
over his last two games, shooting 90.0 percent (9 of 10) and averaging 14.0
points.

Mahinmi在前三個球季效力馬刺與小牛，平均每場只能攻下不到4
分。不過他在最近兩場比賽命中率幾乎完美，10投9中並且平均拿
到14分。


"The last two nights he's given us a really high level of energy," Dallas
coach Rick Carlisle said.

小牛教練Rick Carlisle說："這兩場比賽他帶給我們很多能量。"


However, the Mavericks' continued success lies with Nowitzki, the team's
scoring leader with 22.0 points per game. While averaging 23.2 points in 23
road games against the Wolves, Nowitzki's 51.4 percent shooting from the
field at the Target Center is his best away from home.

然而，小牛的成功依舊要靠Dirk，他以場均22.0分做為球隊的得
分王，他在生涯23場作客明尼蘇達的比賽中平均攻下23.2分，在
Target Center的命中率高達51.4%，是在所有客場中最高的。


Another solid effort from Nowitzki should help Dallas build off its best game
of the young season.

Dirk明天如果能繳出相同的穩定成績，會讓小牛走的更穩。


"Games are going to be hard all year. (Friday's game) is probably a template
for how we're going to have to play a lot of nights," Carlisle told the
Mavericks' official website.

卡帥對小牛官網說："今年的每場比賽都會很難打，上一場比賽
就是個模板，我們會常常遇到這種比賽。"


Minnesota nearly pulled off a stunning upset Friday, but fell 103-101 to
Miami. The Timberwolves remained winless after Dwyane Wade scored on an
inbounds pass from LeBron James with 4.6 seconds to play.

灰狼昨天差點製造驚奇，不過最後還是以101-103敗給邁阿密熱
火，敗在最後4.6秒LeBron James傳給Dwyane Wade的致勝一擊，
至今一勝難求。


Even after another loss, Adelman believes positive results will come soon.

儘管又輸球了，灰狼教練Rick Adelman相信勝利很快將到來。


"It's just sooner or later you have to keep through it and give yourself a
win at the end. If they stay with, they'll do that," he said.

他說："勝利總有一天會來的，必須堅持下去才有機會獲勝。"


Rubio had 12 points, 12 assists and six rebounds against the Heat in just his
third NBA game. The Spanish star is averaging a team-best 7.3 assists to go
with 8.0 points per game.

Rubio在對上熱火的比賽中攻下12分12助攻6籃板，這只是他在NBA
的第三場比賽。這位來自西班牙的巨星目前平均每場可以攻下8.0
分7.3助攻。


Kevin Love, who is among the league's top scorers this season at 26.0 points
per game, is averaging just 15.3 in five career matchups at home versus
Dallas.

Kevin Love目前則是處於聯盟得分王的領先群中，平均單場可以攻
下26.0分，不過他生涯在主場對上小牛五場平均只能得到15.3分。


Sunday's contest also marks the first time Minnesota guard J.J. Barea will
face his former team after spending his first five NBA seasons with the
Mavericks.

明天的比賽也將是灰狼後衛J.J. Barea首次面對到待了五個球季的
前東家小牛隊。


"It's Dallas, I've got all my friends there," Barea told the Timberwolves'
official website.

JJB對灰狼官網說："我的朋友都在小牛隊裡。"


The speedy Barea blossomed during Dallas' title run last season, averaging
9.5 points and 3.9 assists as the change-of-pace backup to aging veteran
Jason Kidd. Barea averaged 8.9 points and 3.4 assists in the playoffs,
tallying 32 points with 10 assists in the final two victories over Miami in
the NBA finals.

速度飛快的JJB在去年的季後賽開花結果，擔任Jason Kidd替補
角色的他主要的工作就是變換賽場上的節奏，在季賽平均可以攻
下9.5分3.9助攻，到了季後賽則是平均8.9分3.4助攻。而他在冠
軍賽對上熱火的比賽中最後兩場更是總共攻下了32分10助攻。


Barea, who missed Friday's matchup with a strained right hamstring, expects
to play Sunday.

JJB昨天因為右腿拉傷而缺陣，他預計明天能上場。


"It will be a little bit weird out there, guarding my teammates," said Barea,
who's averaging 11.5 points and a team-high 3.0 steals this season.

JJB說："要去守我的隊友感覺怪怪的。"他本季平均攻下11.5分，
3.0次的抄截在隊上排名第一。
