Mavericks-Bulls Preview
The final stretch of the regular season has not gone as smoothly as the
Chicago Bulls had wanted.
球季的尾聲並不如芝加哥公牛想的那麼順遂。
Hoping to bounce back from their latest defeat without injured star Derrick
Rose, the Bulls try to maintain their grasp on the No. 1 seed in the Eastern
Conference with a third consecutive win over the visiting Dallas Mavericks on
Saturday night.
公牛希望從上一場Derrick Rose受傷缺賽的輸球中反彈，
並且保住東區龍頭的地位，明天他們將對上來訪的達拉斯
小牛，公牛目前拿下對戰三連勝。
Chicago's hold on the top seed and home-court advantage throughout the
conference playoffs got a little looser with an 83-72 loss at Miami on
Thursday to split the four-game season series between the teams.
公牛昨天以72-83在客場敗給邁阿密熱火，季賽對戰兩勝兩
敗，他們希望能爭取的季後賽所有的主場優勢，不過他們
的領先並不多。
The Bulls (47-16) have a 1 1/2-game lead over the Heat in the East, one in
the loss column. Chicago has three games remaining, while Miami has four.
公牛目前在東區領先熱火1場半，也少輸1場。而公牛剩下
三場比賽，熱火剩四場。
"Got to win, got to win," said Bulls guard Richard Hamilton, who was held to
six points on 1-of-6 shooting Thursday after scoring 22 in each of the
previous two contests. "Just take one game at a time. We have Dallas coming
up and we have to figure out a way to win that game."
儘管Richard Hamilton在之前兩場比賽都拿下22分，但他
昨天被壓制到投6中1，只拿下6分，賽後他說："我們得贏
下比賽，一場一場慢慢來，下一戰要對上小牛，我們要想
出贏球的方法。"
The Bulls likely must try to get that done without Rose for a fourth
consecutive game because of a foot injury. Chicago is 17-9 without him during
his injury-plagued season, including 3-4 in April.
公牛可能要連續四場缺少Rose，他受到腳的傷勢所苦，今
年他飽受傷勢困擾，公牛在缺少他的底賽中拿下17勝9敗，
而在四月只有3勝4敗。
There is a possibility that Rose, averaging 22.5 points and 7.9 assists,
could return for Wednesday's game at Indiana.
今年平均攻下22.5分7.9助攻的Rose有機會在下週對上印
地安納溜馬的比賽中歸隊。
"You deal with it like you deal with it all year," coach Tom Thibodeau said.
教練Tom Thibodeau說："我們今年常常得應付Rose不在的
狀況，明天也是如此。"
Third-string point guard John Lucas had a team-high 16 points Thursday as the
Bulls shot 35.7 percent and were physically pushed around while scoring their
fewest points of the season.
隊上的第三號控衛John Lucas昨天攻下全隊最高的16分，
公牛全隊的命中率只有35.7%，而且受到熱火充滿肢體碰
撞的防守，讓他們得到本季最低得分。
"This game will reveal certain things to us, things that need to be
corrected, continue to strive for improvement, and we're not going to get
caught up in (leads of) 1 1/2 games, 2 1/2 games or whatever," Thibodeau
said. "Just keep doing the things we need to do to win, that's all we're
focusing on.
"We get ready for Dallas."
Thibodeau說："這場比賽讓我們知道球隊還需要修正，
我們還要努力進步，我們不能因為有1場半或是2場半的
領先就鬆懈，我們要不斷努力來贏球，這是我們唯一在
意的。我們要準備好來面對小牛。"
Chicago beat the reigning NBA champs 82-77 at home in the most recent meeting
Jan. 20, 2011. Playing without Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah, the Bulls got
26 points, nine assists and seven rebounds from Rose - the only Chicago
player to score in double figures.
在兩隊最近的交手中，公牛以82-77在主場打敗衛冕冠軍
小牛，儘管Carlos Boozer與Joakim Noah都因傷沒上，
不過Rose攻下26分7籃板9助攻，那場比賽公牛只有他攻
下雙位數得分。
While Chicago looks to avoid dropping consecutive home games for the first
time since a five-game skid March 1-19, 2010, the Mavericks (36-28) hope to
avoid a third straight road defeat.
公牛希望避免主場自從2010年三月以來的首度連敗，而
小牛則是要避免客場三連敗。
Dallas is coming off a pair of home victories after beating Golden State
104-94 on Friday. With two games remaining, the Mavericks are trying to hang
on to the sixth seed in the West.
小牛最近兩場主場都贏了，今天在家以104-94打敗金州
勇士，小牛本季還剩兩場比賽，他們希望能保住西區第
六。
"We're playing as a cohesive unit out there," said guard Delonte West, who
had 16 points against the Warriors.
今天拿下16分的後衛Delonte West說："我們打的很有
凝聚力。"
Dirk Nowitzki averaged 30.0 points in the previous five games before scoring
16 on Friday in the Mavericks' home finale. He's averaged 30.4 points in his
last five against the Bulls but finished with 19 on 6-of-16 shooting at
Chicago last season.
Dirk Nowitzki在今天的主場最終戰中只拿到16分，不
過他在之前的五場比賽平均拿下30.0分，他在最近五場
對上公牛時平均攻下30.4分，不過他在上次作客芝加哥
時投16只中6，拿下19分。
不知道明天會不會練兵 不過要是明天贏&金塊輸就確定第6囉
Let's Go Mavs!!
