Mavericks-Pelicans Preview
The grind of the NBA season seemed to take its toll on the Dallas Mavericks
and New Orleans Pelicans in bad performances in the second half of
back-to-back games.
達拉斯小牛與紐奧良鵜鶘兩支球隊在B2B的第二場比賽表現糟糕，兩隊都將
迎接明後天的B2B。
These Southwest Division rivals will be hoping a much-needed day off will
help them turn in better efforts in this back-to-back set against each other
that begins Friday night in New Orleans.
同為西南組的小牛與鵜鶘，希望在今天的休息之後可以讓他們有好表現，
明後兩天兩隊將進行主客二連戰，明天的第一場在紐奧良進行。
Dallas (20-16) fell 112-90 at San Antonio on Wednesday for its third loss in
four games. Dirk Nowitzki scored a season-low eight points on 3-of-14
shooting for the Mavericks, who trailed by seven at halftime before allowing
67 second-half points.
20勝16敗的小牛昨天以90-112慘敗於聖安東尼奧，吞下最近四場的第三敗，
Dirk Nowitzki拿到本季新低的8分，投14中3，小牛上半場雖然只輸7分，但
卻讓馬刺下半場得了67分。
"I mean, it was ugly from the get-go," Nowitzki told the Mavericks' official
website. "Offensively, we couldn't get any bounces and couldn't get anything
to go but kind of hung in there, surprisingly."
Dirk在官網訪問中說："這場比賽從一開始就很醜陋，我們怎麼投都不進，
比數的差距也一直沒法縮小。"
New Orleans (15-19) lost its third straight Wednesday as it returned home
from a four-game trip to fall 102-96 to Washington. The game was more
lopsided than the final score indicated since the Pelicans outscored the
Wizards by 15 in the fourth quarter.
15勝19敗的鵜鶘則是吞下三連敗，在客場四連戰之後，回家的首場主場比賽
卻以102-96敗給華盛頓巫師。儘管最後只輸六分，但要不是鵜鶘最後一節比
巫師多得15分，其實這場比賽是一面倒的。
Coach Monty Williams was not happy with the effort, pointing out that his
team is full of "young guys."
鵜鶘教練Monty Williams對於這些年輕球員的表現不甚滿意。
"Being tired is not an excuse, not 30-plus games in," Williams said. "Maybe
50 to 60 but not right now."
Williams說："疲累不是藉口，球季才打30場而已，打到50到60場之後說累
還情有可原。"
Each of these teams was missing a key player - Shawn Marion for Dallas and
Ryan Anderson for New Orleans.
兩隊都將缺少關鍵權，小牛的Shawn Marion與鵜鶘的Ryan Anderson前一場
都沒出賽。
Marion sat out with a bruised right shoulder suffered in Tuesday's win over
the Los Angeles Lakers. He is day to day while Anderson is out indefinitely
with a herniated disc.
Marion因為對洛杉磯湖人時右肩瘀傷，昨天缺賽，列入每日觀察名單，而
Ryan Anderson則是因為椎間盤脫出無限期缺戰。
These teams also meet Saturday in Dallas. Nowitzki scored 11 of his 21 points
in the fourth quarter as the Mavericks took the first matchup, 100-97 at New
Orleans on Dec. 4.
兩隊後天將移師達拉斯，Dirk在兩隊最近一次對戰時攻下21分，其中11分
集中在第四節，讓小牛以100-97在客場取勝。
The Pelicans didn't have Anthony Davis in that one due to a broken hand. The
second-year forward is back now and has 43 points and 19 rebounds over his
last two games.
Anthony Davis因為手掌骨折缺席該場比賽，這位二年級前鋒最近兩場比賽
一共拿到43分19籃板。
Al-Farouq Aminu had 16 points and a career-high 20 rebounds in each of his
last two games against Dallas. He helped New Orleans post a 58-38 edge on the
glass in last month's meeting.
Al-Farouq Aminu最近兩次對上小牛剛好都攻下16分，以及都抓下生涯最多
的20籃板(...)。他幫助上次對戰時鵜鶘取得58-38的籃板優勢。
Controlling the backboards figures to be a priority for the Mavs, who were
outrebounded 55-32 by the Spurs.
抓籃板是小牛的首要任務，昨天他們在籃板以32-55慘敗給馬刺。
"The rebounding killed us all night long," coach Rick Carlisle said. "We were
down 36-18 at halftime and that's just not good enough."
小牛教練Rick Carlisle說："籃板讓我們受傷很重，我們上半場就已經以
18-36落後了，我們在這方面表現很差。"
The Pelicans are starting a four-game stretch against Southwest foes, with
three at home. Williams sounded like he wasn't happy about the crowd against
the Wizards.
鵜鶘將連續四場面對西南組對手，其中三場在主場，但Williams教練對於
對戰巫師的比賽中觀眾的反應不夠熱烈感到不悅。
"We're going to be at home, we need our crowd behind us, not a guy screaming
at me the whole game about what I should be doing," Williams said. "That's
just silly."
他說："我們在主場比賽，所以需要球迷的支持，而不是尖叫著指揮我的戰術
與調度，這真蠢。"
What should be as big a concern to him is his defense, which is allowing
teams to shoot 48.5 percent during this losing streak. The Pelicans are the
league's fifth-worst team for the season at 46.3 percent.
Williams最在意的應該是球隊的防守，他們在最近的連敗中讓對手命中率高達
48.5%，而他們本季讓對手的命中率以46.3%排名聯盟倒數第五。
"We are picking up bad habits," guard Austin Rivers said. "When we get down
six or seven, we act like the game is over and the lead gets worse. That's
not coaching. That's on us."
後衛Austin Rivers說："我們的習慣不好，當我們落後六、七分時，我們打的
好像比賽結束了，讓比分繼續擴大。這跟教練無關，是我們的問題。"
明天對鵜鶘 加油吧!!
Let's Go Mavs!!
