Suns-Mavericks Preview


Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash are still adjusting to the compressed NBA season.

Dirk Nowitzki與Steve Nash都還在為這個縮水球季做調整。


Recent victories should have the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns feeling
good about their stars' improvements.

而兩隊最近的一場勝利分別展現出了達拉斯小牛與鳳凰城太陽的兩位
巨星正逐漸的在進步當中。


Nowitzki and the Mavericks look to build on their most impressive effort yet
by extending their home winning streak over Nash and the Suns to eight
Wednesday night.

Dirk與小牛希望持續上一場比賽的好手感，來延續他們的主場連勝，
小牛希望取得對Nash領軍的太陽主場八連勝。


The shortened preseason and congested 66-game regular season caused by the
lockout are contributing to slow starts for Dallas (2-4) and Phoenix (2-3).

縮水球季讓小牛跟太陽的起步都不好，小牛目前2勝4敗，太陽2勝3敗。


Nowitzki and the reigning NBA champion Mavericks, however, may have shaken
their funk with an impressive 100-87 win over previously unbeaten Oklahoma
City on Monday, concluding a 2-2 stretch in five days.

不過Dirk所率領的衛冕軍小牛昨天以100-87賞給雷霆首敗，展現出
不錯的氣勢，他們在之前的五天四戰中勝負各半。


The power forward enjoyed his best shooting performance of the young season,
going 10 for 16 from the floor for 26 points while adding six rebounds.
Averaging 22.5 points, Nowitzki feels improvement will come as the season
wears on.

Dirk打出最漂亮的一場球，他投16中10，拿下26分6籃板，他本季
場均22.5分，他覺得隨著球季的進行他會繼續進步。


"I've still got work to do, like everyone else," Nowitzki said. "My wind is
coming back and my legs are getting stronger.

"This team is set up to get better month-by-month. We should have a good team
in March and April. Saying that, we've still got to find ways to win."

Dirk說："跟大家一樣，我還有待努力。我的手感回來了，但我的腿
還要更有力。我們會一個月比一個月強，到了三、四月我們會是不錯
的球隊，不過我們得先找到贏球之道。"


Nash also had a strong effort Monday, as he scored a season-high 21 points
while dishing out nine assists with two steals to power a 102-91 win over
Golden State. It was the Suns' second victory in three games in a span of
four days, and Nash totaled 15 points and 18 assists while making 5 of 18
shots in the first two contests.

Nash昨天也打的漂亮，攻下本季新高的21分，另外送出9助攻還有2抄
截，帶領太陽以102-91打敗勇士。這是太陽在四天三戰中的第二勝，
Nash在前兩場球總共投18中5，得到15分送出18助攻。


"It's going to be tough," Nash said. "I haven't played basketball in a long,
long time and then to have only two weeks of camp. (Monday) would normally
have been preseason game number seven. It's going to take some time."

Nash說："這會很困難，我很久沒打球了，訓練營又只有兩週。上一
場比賽只能算是熱身賽的第七場而已，我們還需要一些時間。"


While Phoenix is playing the first of five games over 10 days, Nowitzki and
the Mavericks are playing three times in four days.

太陽接下來10天只有5場比賽，不過小牛接下來4天有3場。


Facing the visiting Suns would appear to be a good way for the Mavericks to
start that stretch in positive fashion.

不過面對太陽對小牛來說是件不錯的事情。


Nowitzki is averaging 28.0 points on 58.1 percent shooting during Dallas'
seven-game home winning streak against Phoenix dating to a 129-127
double-overtime loss March 14, 2007.

Dirk在對戰太陽的主場七連勝當中平均可以攻下28.0分，命中率
58.1%，上次小牛輸太陽是在2007年3月14號，小牛在兩度延長賽
後以127-129輸球。


Overall, the Mavericks have won five in a row against the Suns.

整體來說，小牛目前對戰太陽是五連勝。


"We're gaining a little momentum," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. "We've
got to continue the right way and maintain the proper focus, and that's
challenging."

小牛教練Rick Carlisle說："我們正在凝聚士氣，我們要持續這樣
的好表現，並且專注在場上，這是個挑戰。"


Nash is averaging 8.0 points and 9.2 assists over the last five meetings with
the Mavericks, and he could get some help from forward Markieff Morris.

Nash在最近五次碰上小牛時平均得到8.0分9.2助攻，而且他這次有
了新秀前鋒Markieff Morris的幫助。


The 13th overall pick in last summer's NBA draft, Morris has totaled 31
points and 15 boards over the last two games after getting 16 and 12,
respectively, in the first three.

去年在第13順位被選中的Morris，在最近兩場比賽中一共攻下31分
15籃板，他開季前三場分別得到3分、16分、12分。


"I'm learning but I'm picking it up fast," Morris said. "I'm trying not to
speed through things, to take my time, don't get too high or too low, just
keep it leveled out."

Morris說："我還在學習，我希望能學的快一點。但我不會囫圇吞棗，
我會一步一腳印的學。"


Morris' first meeting with the Mavericks will likely see him matched up
opposite Nowitzki.

Morris的第一場比賽可能就要對上Nowitzki。


明天加油吧~~希望可以拿到本季首度連勝!!

Let's Go Mavs!!
