Pelicans-Mavericks Preview


Things just keep getting worse for the New Orleans Pelicans. First, it was
Ryan Anderson and then Jrue Holiday. Now it's Tyreke Evans who's hobbled.

紐奧良鵜鶘的傷情雪上加霜，Ryan Anderson與Jrue Holiday接連受傷，現在
連Tyreke Evans都受傷了。


With injuries continuing to hamper them, the Pelicans will try to avoid a
season-worst fifth straight loss when they visit Dallas for the back end of a
home-and-home set with the Mavericks on Saturday night.

儘管傷兵成群，鵜鶘還是希望明天能避免本季最長的五連敗，他們將作客面對
達拉斯小牛，這是主客二連戰的第二場比賽。


New Orleans (15-20) learned before Friday's 107-90 home loss to the Mavericks
that Holiday will be sidelined indefinitely with a stress fracture in his
tibia. The point guard is averaging 14.3 points and 7.9 assists for the
Pelicans, who were already without leading scorer Anderson (19.8 ppg) because
of a herniated disk.

15勝20敗的鵜鶘今天對小牛踢到大鐵板，以90-107在主場慘敗，且在賽前得知
Holiday將因為脛骨的壓力性骨折休戰，歸期未定。擔任先發控衛的他本季平均
貢獻14.3分7.9助攻，而以19.8分暫居球隊得分王Anderson也早已因為椎間盤突
出傷停。


Holiday, who said he was likely playing with the injury before the pain
became too much to handle, is using a stabilizing boot to walk and expects to
be re-evaluated in about a month.

Holiday說他可能在受傷的情況下繼續打球導致這樣的結果，他會先用固定的靴
子行走，並且在下個月再做評估。


Evans, who averages 13.0 points, became the latest to get sidelined when he
re-injured his left ankle after playing less than 10 minutes against Dallas.
He was scoreless and did not return, but his status for Saturday's game is
unknown.

平均13.0分Evans的是鵜鶘最新的傷兵，他再度扭傷左腳踝，今天只上場10分鐘
而已，就因為傷勢退場，沒有得分，明天的情況未定。


"The Mavericks were aggressive (on Friday)," Evans said. "Our energy was
down, but we have another match at their place so hopefully we can beat them
next time. We'll bring more energy next time."

Evans說："小牛隊今天相當積極，我們的能量不夠，我們希望明天能扳回顏面，
帶著更多能量上場比賽。"


Dallas (21-16) came out strong and scored 62 points in the first half,
eventually leading by as many as 23 in the third quarter before cruising.
Dirk Nowitzki scored 24 points and Monta Ellis had 23 points and eight
assists for the Mavs, who made a season-high 14 3-pointers on 28 attempts.

21勝16敗的小牛上半場炮火猛烈攻下62分，在第三節一度領先高達23分，至此
一路遙遙領先。Dirk Nowitzki攻下24分，Monta Ellis則得到23分8助攻，全隊
三分球投28中14，命中數為本季新高。


New Orleans has allowed 60-point first halves three times recently, giving up
61 to Minnesota on Jan. 1 and 61 to Washington on Jan. 8.

鵜鶘最近已經3度上半場失分破60，在1月1日對明尼蘇達灰狼的上半場掉了61分，
而在1月8日對華盛頓巫師則也是上半場掉了61分。


The Mavs were crisp all around with 32 assists on their 41 field goals and
shot 52.6 percent from the field.

小牛的球權轉移順暢，41個進球中就有32次助攻，命中率52.6%。


"We got a win and we feel good. We've got another one (Saturday)," Ellis
said. "We'll see if we can come out with another one."

Ellis說："我們贏下這場比賽，打起來感覺真好，明天還有一場比賽，我們希望
能再拿一勝。"


It was the second win in the last five games overall for Dallas, which
bounced back from a 112-90 loss at San Antonio on Wednesday.

這是小牛最近五場比賽的第二勝，他們前一場以90-112慘敗給聖安東尼奧馬刺。


Eric Gordon scored 27 points for New Orleans, while Anthony Davis added 21
points, 13 rebounds and five blocked shots. Second-year pro Brian Roberts
started in Holiday's place and finished with nine points and seven rebounds.

Eric Gordon今天攻下27分，Anthony Davis則拿到21分13籃板5阻攻，代替Holiday
做為先發的Brian Roberts得到9分7籃板。


The Pelicans, who also dropped four in a row from Dec. 15-21, have allowed
the opposition to shoot 49.5 percent during the current losing streak, and
the 14 3-pointers allowed in Friday's opener were a season high.

鵜鶘自從12月15日至21日時也吞過四連敗，最近的連敗中讓對手命中率達到
49.5%，今天讓小牛砍進了本季所有對手最多的14顆三分。


"We just had some lackluster plays. They hit a number of 3s off of our
mistakes," New Orleans coach Monty Williams said. "A couple of them were
tough shots, but I can recall a number of them that just happened because of
the mistakes that we made. Obviously we missed Jrue, but you can't do
anything about that. He is out."

鵜鶘教練Monty Williams說："我們有些play打的不好，他們利用我們的失誤
投進三分，有些三分防的很好了還進，不過我記得有幾顆是因為我們的失誤而
讓對手投進。我們很想念Holiday，但這於事無補，他無法上場。"


The victory extended the Mavericks' overall win streak against New Orleans to
five. Dallas has won 17 of its 19 regular-season home games against the
Pelicans franchise since it relocated from Charlotte prior to the 2002-03
season.

這場比賽讓小牛拿下對戰鵜鶘的五連勝，而自從2002-03球季以前鵜鶘(黃蜂)還
在夏洛特的時代以來，小牛拿下主場對戰19場當中的17勝。


明天看起來贏面應該不小  希望能穩穩贏下

Let's Go Mavs!!
