Mavericks-Hawks Preview


The Atlanta Hawks are looking to nail down home-court advantage in the first
round of the playoffs.

The Dallas Mavericks know they will be opening their title defense on the
road.

亞特蘭大老鷹希望能取得第一輪的主場優勢，而達拉斯小牛
則是確定要從客場開始他們的衛冕之路。


The Hawks will ensure that they open the postseason at home by defeat the
visiting Mavericks in Thursday night's regular-season finale.

老鷹只要明天拿下勝利，就能確保第一輪的主場優勢。


Atlanta (39-26) will be the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference and begin
the playoffs against Boston, guaranteed the No. 4 seed as the Atlantic
Division champion. The Hawks, though, are one game ahead of the Celtics and
can secure home court for the series with a victory Thursday or a loss by
Boston to Milwaukee.

老鷹已經確定是東區的第五種子，將對上身為大西洋組
龍頭的第四種子波士頓塞爾提克。不過老鷹目前戰績領
先塞爾提克一場，明天老鷹贏或塞爾提克敗給密爾瓦基
公鹿都會讓老鷹取得主場優勢。


"It's important to try to get home-court advantage," guard Willie Green said.
"We'll see what happens last game."

後衛Willie Green說："取得主場優勢很重要，我們會
注意最後一天的情勢。"


Dallas (36-29) will be the sixth or seventh seed in the West. The Mavericks
know they'll face a tough opponent in the first round as they embrace the
challenge of trying to repeat.

小牛可能是第六或第七種子，而且在衛冕之路的第一站
就會碰上強敵。


"A sixth or seventh seed is generally gonna be viewed as an underdog-type
team and that's OK," coach Rick Carlisle told the Mavericks' official
website. "But either way, we've got to approach it the same way. We can't
look for external motivations to get fired up to defend a championship."

教練Rick Carlisle對小牛官網說："第六種子或第七種
子都代表我們處於挑戰者的地位，不過沒關係。我們明
天會盡力求勝，身為衛冕軍，不需要任何其他的動機。"


The Hawks won for the fourth time in five games Tuesday, 109-102 over the Los
Angeles Clippers. Joe Johnson scored a game-high 28 points and made two
3-pointers in the final 1:28 to help seal the victory.

老鷹最近的五場比賽贏了四場，昨天以109-102在家打敗
洛杉磯快艇，Joe Johnson攻下全場最高的28分，並在最
後1分28秒內砍進兩顆三分確保勝利。


"We've been playing pretty good lately, we have not been finishing games the
way we hope that we finish - it's just a few games as of late - but coming
down the stretch of tonight's game, I could tell our guys were mentally
focused," coach Larry Drew said.

教練Larry Drew說："我們最近打的不錯，不過我們常常
在比賽尾端收的不夠好，不過今晚的比賽結尾打的很好，
我認為我們的球員都專心在球場上。"


Atlanta's bench also came through with 32 points, led by Marvin Williams with
11.

老鷹的板凳部隊攻下32分，其中最高的是Marvin Williams
的11分。


"If you're going to get over the hump in the playoffs, you've got keep
advancing with the bench," Johnson said. "They've got to play a big role."

Johnson說："如果想在季後賽走的更高更遠，就要靠板凳的
力量，他們扮演重要的角色。"


The Hawks won't get any minutes Thursday from center Al Horford, who has been
out since Jan. 11 with a torn pectoral muscle and says he won't play in the
first round against the Celtics. Horford practiced earlier this week and was
hoping to return before that series.

明天Al Horford不會上，他自從1月11號以後就因為胸部肌
肉撕裂傷而沒再上場，他說他不會在第一輪面對塞爾提克時
出戰。Horford在這週已經開始參與球隊的練習，希望能盡
早歸隊。


Dallas has not played since a 93-83 defeat at Chicago on Saturday, in which
veteran guards Jason Kidd and Jason Terry were rested. It's unclear who will
suit up Thursday for the Mavericks, who are clearly looking ahead.

小牛自從在上週末以83-93敗給芝加哥公牛之後就沒再出賽
過了，那場比賽Jason Kidd跟Jason Terry都休息，明天誰
會輪休還不確定，不過大家很期待季後賽的來臨。


We're excited, and there's gonna be 15 other teams excited about the
possibility as well," Carlisle said. "And we want to be healthy, we want to
make sure we're thinking the right way, we want to make sure we have an edge
and to go into this thing - and when I say 'this thing' I mean the game
Thursday and games beyond - with a mental edge and a real understanding for
exactly how we've got to play to be successful."

卡帥說："我們很興奮，其他15隊一定也是，我們希望能夠
保持健康，確定球隊走在正軌上，確定我們有能力在之後
的比賽奪勝，我指的是明天和之後的季後賽。我們要保持
心靈上的強悍，並且知道該怎麼打球才能獲勝。"


The Mavericks have won three straight and 19 of 25 against the Hawks.

小牛目前對戰老鷹拿下三連勝，最近25次對戰中贏了19場。


看起來明天兩隊都不會有所保留  外電也看到卡帥說會全力求勝
應該會是場有可看性的比賽

Let's Go Mavs!!
