Jazz-Mavericks Preview


Although the Dallas Mavericks failed to land Dwight Howard in the offseason,
the player they ended up with has turned out to be quite a consolation prize.

儘管今年夏天，達拉斯小牛爭取Dwight Howard加盟的計畫失敗，但他們B計畫
的球員們卻表現的超乎預期。


Monta Ellis looks to continue his outstanding start and lead the surging
Mavericks to their best home start in 10 years Friday night against a Utah
Jazz team still searching for its first road win.

Monta Ellis希望他的好表現能持續並幫助小牛拿下10年來主場最佳開季戰績，
對手是尋求客場首勝的猶他爵士。


After Howard chose to sign with Houston over Dallas and three other teams
during the summer, the Mavericks (8-4) had to settle on Ellis and fellow
guard Jose Calderon as their key acquisitions in free agency.

在DH決定與休士頓火箭簽約，拒絕小牛等四隊之後，小牛找來了Ellis與另一名
控衛Jose Calderon，是兩位關鍵的FA簽約。


Ellis, however, hasn't disappointed since coming over from Milwaukee, giving
Dallas a prolific scorer alongside Dirk Nowitzki. He ranks in the league's
top 10 with 23.3 points per game to go along with a team-best 5.7 assists.

從密爾瓦基前來的Ellis沒讓大家失望，成為Dirk Nowitzki身邊的好幫手，他的
場均23.3分是聯盟前十，助攻5.7次是全隊最高。


The veteran guard is coming off his best game, finishing with a season-high
37 points on 13-of-18 shooting and eight assists to help the Mavericks rally
for a 123-120 victory over Howard and the Rockets on Wednesday.

在NBA打滾多年的Ellis打出了加入小牛後最佳的比賽，攻下本季最高37分，投18
中13，並傳出8助攻，幫助小牛以123-120逆轉打敗Howard帶領的火箭。


Dallas trailed by 18 late in the third quarter before shooting 74 percent and
outscoring the Rockets 36-19 in the fourth.

小牛一度在第三節末段落後火箭18分，不過在第四節以74%的命中率、36-19的
比數逆轉火箭。


"We're really just playing off of him," said Nowitzki, who had 14 of his 35
points in the fourth quarter. "He's been aggressive, he's been shooting the
ball well, but what's been great is that he has been making plays for others.
He's making all of us better."

全場攻下35分，其中14分集中在第四節的Dirk說："我們的攻勢圍繞著Ellis走，
他很有侵略性，投籃又準，又為他人製造機會，讓全隊變的更好。"


Ellis hopes to extend his scoring surge at home, where he's tied for second
in the NBA with 26.7 points per game. That isn't likely to be a problem since
he's scored 32 or more in four of his last five games against the Jazz (1-12).

Ellis希望能延續主場的好表現，他以26.7分的主場平均得分排名聯盟第二，
他明天很有機會，因為最近五次對上爵士，Ellis有四場得分至少32分。


The Mavericks seek their fourth straight win overall and first 7-0 start at
home since opening the 2003-04 season with 10 consecutive victories on their
own floor. They're also going for their 18th win in 20 home meetings with
Utah.

小牛希望拿下最近的四連勝，同時是主場的開季七連勝，這是自從他們2003-04
開季主場10連勝之後的最佳成績，同時也希望拿下最近20次主場對爵士的第18勝。


While Dallas ranks second in the league with 112.8 points per game and third
with a 49.9 field-goal percentage at home, the NBA-worst Jazz have given up
107.3 points on 50.0 percent shooting in their last three road games.

小牛本季平均112.8分排聯盟第二，主場49.9%的命中率為聯盟第三，而聯盟爐主
爵士最近三場客場平均失107.3分，對手命中率50.0%。


Utah has dropped its seven road contests by an average of 14.0 points
following a 105-98 loss at New Orleans on Wednesday.

爵士目前吞下客場七連敗，平均輸14.0分，昨天他們以98-105客場敗給紐澳良
鵜鶘。


Enes Kanter led the Jazz with 19 points while Gordon Hayward missed 16 of 17
shots en route to a season-low six points, though he did contribute a
career-high 11 assists.

Enes Kanter昨天拿下全隊最高19分，Gordon Hayward投17只中1，拿到本季最低
的6分，儘管他傳出生涯最高的11助攻。


Hayward, averaging a team-best 18.2 points, may be able to regroup since he's
scored 18.8 per game on 48.9 percent shooting in his last four against the
Mavericks.

Hayward本季是爵士的得分王，平均18.2分，他最近四次對上小牛平均18.8分，命
中率48.9%，也許他明天會反彈。


Utah rookie guard Trey Burke had 11 points Wednesday after missing the first
12 games because of surgery on his right index finger, while Marvin Williams
is expected to return after having surgery on his broken nose and sitting out
against the Pelicans.

爵士新秀Trey Burke在因為右手食指手術缺席12場比賽之後，昨天生涯初登場拿下
11分，而Marvin Williams預期在鼻梁手術之後歸隊。


"This is who we have and this is who we are going to be," said coach Tyrone
Corbin, whose club ranks 29th with 89.3 points per game. "We can't
manufacture anyone else to put on the floor. We have to learn through it on
the fly here."

爵士教練Tyrone Corbin說："我們的陣容就只有這樣，有很多傷兵，我們沒有別人
可以上場，我們得度過這段時間。"爵士目前已89.3分的得分排聯盟第29。


The Jazz took two of three from the Mavericks last season, with the home team
winning each meeting.

去年兩隊三次對戰，爵士拿下兩勝，三場的主場球隊都獲勝。


要對上爐主爵士了  繼續讓他們觀念吧~

Let's Go Mavs!!
