[外電] With Brandan Wright back in the fold,

Dirk Nowitzki got over the illness that knocked him off his feet and out of
Saturday’s win over Milwaukee — although he said he had a recurrence.
“The good thing is it was only a 24-hour thing,” he said. “I felt a lot
better come Sunday until I watched the Cowboys’ game, then I got sick again.
”


Yes, no matter how much the Mavericks might cough and wheeze during a season,
they can always feel better when they look at the Cowboys.


And in Nowitzki’s case, he believes the overall health of the team is on the
rise — for no other reason than he is intrigued about the prospects of
getting on the floor with Brandan Wright for the first time this season
Wednesday.


Wright missed the first 23 games after a left shoulder injury. Nowitzki
missed Saturday’s game with his gastro problems.
Against Memphis, he expects to rekindle what turned out to be some nice
chemistry with Wright last season.


“It was obvious last year,” Nowitzki said. “We play well off each other. He
’s good at the stuff I stink at.


“He plays above the rim. On those rolls and little floaters and little hook
shots, he’s as good as anybody in this league.”
Yep, those would be things that don’t fall into Nowitzki’s wheelhouse. But
those attributes do make his life simpler.


“Teams have to respect his rolls to the basket,” he said. “If they don’t,
it should open up some of our shooters. And on defense he’s fast and
athletic and can protect the rim, block some shots. He looked really sharp to
me [Saturday]. And he’s only going to get better from here and get in better
shape.”


Wright had 19 points in 19 minutes in his first game. That included 9-of-10
shooting — all without Nowitzki on the court. When they do team up, it will
be Nowitzki’s job to take a defender out to the perimeter, leaving one fewer
opponent to clog things up for Wright on his moves to the basket.
The only concern with Wright’s return is that it creates a bit of a crowd in
the front court with DeJuan Blair and Samuel Dalembert also at center and
Nowitzki at power forward.


“It’s the kind of problem you want,” coach Rick Carlisle said. “We got a
lot of guys that can help. We’ll keep talking to all our guys and make sure
they’re always ready.


“And there’s going to be nights when certain guys will be the right guys to
play and other guys may not. As long as everybody understands we’re all
pulling for the same thing, which is to win games, we’ll be all right.”
Nowitzki, who said he felt sluggish Monday after a couple of days of not
being able to retain many fluids or solids, is optimistic that the center
position — easily the weakest on the court last season — could actually be
a strength with Wright back in the rotation.


“We got a couple different options,” he said. “Blair has been phenomenal
for us all season, being physical, rebounding and pushing guys around. Sammy
is the longest of the bunch. And B-Wright is a great athlete who can finish
around the rim. All three of them bring something that the others don’t
have. So we have a three-headed monster.”



Dirk在週六時因身體不適缺席比賽

他說好在那場病休息一天就好了

他說他休息一下就舒服很多

值到他看了週日的牛仔隊比賽

他病情又惡化

Dirk認為小牛的健康是本季的關鍵

他說Wright是一位又快又有活動力的球員

他在籃框附近有威脅

在防守端可以保護籃框

比較值得注意的是Wright回來後

小牛前場變成Dalembert Blair Wright及Dirk四人

Dirk說小牛現在選擇很多

每一位禁區球員都有各自的優點

他說"那三位就像是三頭獸一樣"





06年有中鋒合體獸

今年有三頭獸戰隊
