Mavericks-Clippers Preview


Riding a three-game winning streak, the Dallas Mavericks feel they're better
prepared than the last time they faced the Los Angeles Clippers.

達拉斯小牛拿下了三連勝，比起上一次面對洛杉磯快艇，他們準備的更為充分。


Looking to match their longest winning stretch of the season, the visiting
Mavericks hope to avenge a loss earlier this month to a Clippers team that's
also trying for a fourth straight victory Wednesday night.

小牛希望拿下平本季最高的四連勝，他們想報上個月主場敗給快艇的一箭之仇，
而快艇也要尋求四連勝。


Dallas (23-16) averaged 108.5 points and shot 49.0 percent while sweeping a
home-and-home set with New Orleans then rolled to a 107-88 victory over lowly
Orlando on Monday. The Mavericks are seven games above .500 for the first
time since the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season and have bounced back from a
stretch of three losses in four games.

23勝16敗的小牛在最近的三連勝中平均108.5分，命中率49.0%，在主客二連戰連
勝紐奧良鵜鶘之後，昨天在主場以107-88大破奧蘭多魔術。小牛自從2011-12的
縮水球季之後，首次勝場超過敗場七場，也突破前四場輸了三場的低潮。


That slide began with a 119-112 defeat to Los Angeles (26-13) at home Jan. 3.
The Clippers overcame the loss of star Chris Paul to a separated shoulder and
a seven-point deficit in the final 4 minutes to beat the Mavericks for the
fifth time in seven games.

之前的低潮首戰就是以112-119主場敗給快艇，快艇克服了Chris Paul的受傷與
最後四分鐘還落後7分的劣勢，拿下最近七次小牛的第五勝。


Dallas couldn't build on a perfect three-game trip that preceded the previous
matchup with the Clippers, but after bouncing back from the recent rough
stretch it feels better equipped to handle this rematch and difficult games
with fellow playoff contenders Phoenix and Portland that follow.

小牛本週將迎接三場硬戰，他們不希望第一場就輸球，有了前一次的經驗，他們
準備的更好，來面對接下來三支西區前八的球隊，包括要面對鳳凰城太陽與波特
蘭拓荒者。


"I think our mindset is different heading into this game on a three-game
winning streak," said guard Monta Ellis, who had a team-high 21 points
Monday. "Hopefully we continue with it."

Monta Ellis昨天拿到全隊最高的21分，他說："在這波三連勝之後，我們的心境
有所轉變，希望我們能延續這種感覺。"


Dirk Nowitzki scored 24 and Shawn Marion added 20 points against the Clippers
two weeks ago, but Marion could miss a fifth straight game with a sore
shoulder. If so, the Mavericks might need to again rely on a bench that
outscored the Magic reserves 42-14. Vince Carter highlighted that production
with 17 points and Wayne Ellington added 12 for Dallas, which last won four
in a row Nov. 16-22.

兩週前對上快艇時，Dirk Nowitzki得到24分，Shawn Marion拿到20分，不過香妹
因為肩膀傷勢已經缺席了四場比賽，如果他明天還要缺賽，小牛將會需要板凳的
支援，就像昨天以42-14壓倒魔術的替補。Vince Carter昨天扮演板凳暴徒得到17
分，而Wayne Ellington得到12分。小牛上次四連勝是在11月16日到22日時。


"If they continue to keep that up, we can make a run for a couple of games in
a row," Ellis told the Mavericks' official website.

Ellis在官網訪問說道："如果我們的板凳維持這樣的表現，我們就能多贏個幾場
比賽。"


They first have to get by the Clippers, who have won five of six overall and
are 17-3 at home. Los Angeles has been off since a 123-87 rout of the
in-house rival Lakers on Friday.

他們明天的對手快艇可不好惹，快艇本季戰績26勝13敗，最近六場贏了五場，主
場戰績17勝3敗，最近一場以123-87羞辱了同城球隊洛杉磯湖人。


Veteran Darren Collison has filled in nicely for Paul, who could miss up to
five weeks. Collison had 20 points against the Mavericks, and has averaged
17.5 on 65.9 percent shooting and 6.5 assists as a starter in the four games
that followed.

Darren Collison補上了CP3的空缺，CP3預計將缺席五週，Collison上一場對小牛
攻下20分，最近四場先發的比賽平均17.5分6.5助攻，命中率65.9%。


"It's just (a matter of) letting the game come to you and picking and
choosing your spots," he told the Clippers' official website. "Those shots
are going to come.

Collison在官網訪問說道："我只是在比賽中投球找到感覺，投多了就會進了。"


"For me, as a point guard it's making sure other guys get touches. I know I
can get my touches whenever I can. It's not forcing the issue and playing
within the system."

"對我來說，身為一個控球後衛，我要確保其他人在空檔時接到球，而我也常常
拿到球，但我不一定要自己打，我只要遵循球隊的系統打球就好。"


Collison continues to get the ball to Blake Griffin, who has scored 62 points
on 21-of-29 shooting in the last two contests. He had 33 along with 12
rebounds, four steals, four assists and two blocked shots against the Lakers.

Collison可以繼續把球餵給Blake Griffin，Griffin最近兩場比賽投29中21，
一共得到62分，前一場比賽對上湖人時，他攻下33分12籃板4助攻4抄截2火鍋。


"Blake is doing everything for us, rebounding and defending," Clippers coach
Doc Rivers said. "He is a great passer. It gets lost in his fancy dunks."

快艇教練Doc Rivers說："Griffin在所有方面做出貢獻，不只籃板與防守，他
還很會傳球，大家都只注意他的灌籃而忽略了這點。"


Griffin had 25 points, 15 boards and five assists at Dallas earlier this
month.

BG上一次對上小牛拿到25分15籃板5助攻。


Nowitzki has totaled 57 points and shot 57.9 percent in the last two games
versus Los Angeles - both at home. However, he's been held to a combined 32
on 35.5 percent shooting in his last two on the road in the series.

Dir最近兩次對上快艇都在主場，共得到57分，命中率57.9%，不過最近兩次客場
對上快艇則只有一共32分，命中率35.5%。


快樂的日子結束了  接下來的賽程不好過了
加油吧  希望能穩住前八的位子!!

Let's Go Mavs!!
