Pistons-Mavericks Preview


After a frustrating end to a road trip, the Dallas Mavericks will try to
bounce back by adding to their recent dominance over the slumping Detroit
Pistons.

結束了令人失望的客場之旅，達拉斯小牛希望在回家面對近幾年打的很順手的
底特律活塞時，能找回一點氣勢。


The Mavericks will seek a ninth win in the last 10 matchups and a sixth
straight home victory in the series Sunday night.

明天小牛希望拿到最近10次對戰活塞的第九勝，同時是主場對戰的六連勝。


Dallas (25-20) dropped the final two of its three consecutive road games and
couldn't complete a late rally in Friday's 107-106 defeat to Brooklyn. The
Mavericks cut an 11-point deficit with 4 1/2 minutes left to two with seven
seconds to go but would get no closer in its fourth loss in six games.

25勝20敗的小牛在客場三連戰的後兩場都吞敗，昨天以106-107逆轉失敗，敗
給布魯克林籃網，他們在最後4分半還落後11分，在最後7秒追到差2分，不過
沒能逆轉，吞下最近六場的第四敗。


Vince Carter had a team-best 19 points after averaging 7.6 on 31.7 percent
shooting in his previous five games. Dirk Nowitzki had 18 points despite
missing 10 of 15 shots in his return from a night off in a 93-85 loss to
Toronto on Wednesday.

Vince Carter攻下全隊最高的19分，在那之前五場他平均只有7.6分，命中率
31.7%。Dirk Nowitzki昨天投15僅中5，攻下18分，他前一場休戰，該場小牛
以85-93敗給多倫多暴龍。


The Mavericks have committed a combined 36 turnovers in the last two games
after having eight in each of their previous two contests.

近兩場小牛一共犯下36次失誤，在那之前兩場小牛各只有8次失誤。


"We're just making bad decisions, and we've got to stop it," coach Rick
Carlisle said. "When you give up 23 points off turnovers in a one-possession
game, it's another story teller of the reason we lost."

小牛教練Rick Carlisle說："我們一直犯下錯誤，我們得改正這一點，因為失
誤讓對手多得23分，導致最後一分惜敗，這是我們敗陣的原因之一。"


Detroit (17-26) is one of the leaders in forcing turnovers at 16.4 per game,
just behind the Mavericks' 16.5. The Pistons forced 21 turnovers in Friday's
103-101 loss to New Orleans.

17勝26敗的活塞本季平均每場造成對方16.4次失誤，排行聯盟前段，略遜小牛
的16.5次，活塞昨天讓紐奧良鵜鶘犯下21次失誤，不過還是以101-103輸球。


Detroit blew a 10-point lead in the final 5:35 and didn't call a timeout
after the Pelicans' Eric Gordon hit the winning shot with 1.9 seconds to go.
Brandon Jennings missed a 50-foot shot just before the buzzer and couldn't
convert a potential go-ahead 3-pointer with 21 seconds remaining.

活塞浪費了最後5分35秒的10分領先，而且鵜鶘的Eric Gordon在最後1.9秒投進
致勝超前分之後，活塞沒有叫暫停，而是讓Brandon Jennings投了50呎遠的三分
球而輸球。在此之前，Jennings在比賽剩下21秒時，也沒投進超前的三分球。


"I tried to call a timeout," coach Maurice Cheeks said. "That timeout is on
me."

活塞教練Maurice Cheeks說："我試著要叫暫停，這是我的錯。"


Jennings finished with a team-best 28 points after scoring 30 in a 104-101
defeat to Milwaukee on Wednesday. Detroit had a double-digit lead late in the
third quarter of that game.

Jennings攻下全隊最高的28分，在前一場以101-104敗給密爾瓦基公鹿的比賽中，
他攻下30分，那場比賽活塞在第三節末段還有10分以上的領先。


"We just make poor decisions down the stretch of the game sometimes and we
have to get better at it," said Andre Drummond, who had 21 points and a
career-high 20 rebounds Friday. "Nip that in the bud and try to finish games
up."

昨天拿到21分與生涯最高20籃板的Andre Drummond說："我們在最後關頭打的不
好，我們得更小心一點，才能守住比賽的勝利。"


Jennings, the Pistons' leading scorer (16.6 ppg), was held without a point
for the second time in his career in Monday's 112-103 defeat to the Los
Angeles Clippers, the start of the team's three-game skid.

Jennings以16.6分的平均得分作為活塞的得分王，在活塞最近的三連敗中，首戰
以103-112敗給洛杉磯快艇，該場Jennings被守死，1分未得，這是他生涯的第二
次。


Jennings scored a combined 12 points on 5-of-18 shooting in his last two
matchups with Dallas - both while with Milwaukee last season - after
averaging 19.8 in his first four.

Jennings上季兩次做為公鹿球員對上小牛時，一共投18中5，只得到12分，不過
生涯前四次對戰平均攻下19.8分。


Nowitzki had 12 points in his only game against the Pistons last season, a
102-99 road win March 8, after averaging 26.7 in his prior 16 meetings. He
sat out a 92-77 home victory on Dec. 1, 2012, while recovering from knee
surgery.

Dirk上季唯一一次對上活塞攻下12分，幫助小牛在客場以102-99獲勝，之前16次
對戰他平均能攻下26.7分。在去年12月初小牛對上活塞時，他還因為膝蓋手術復
原中缺賽，小牛以92-77獲勝。


The Mavericks have won three in a row over Detroit and haven't suffered a
home loss in the series since Dec. 7, 2006.

小牛最近對戰活塞拿下三連勝，自從2006年12月7日之後就沒在主場輸過活塞。


活塞的內線很恐怖啊...不過明天如果主場再贏不下來就麻煩囉

Let's Go Mavs!!
