Bulls-Mavericks Preview


Solid defense has been a staple for the Chicago Bulls under coach Tom
Thibodeau, but a suddenly potent offense has helped carry them a season-high
five games over .500.

堅強的防守是芝加哥公牛教練Tom Thibodeau的註冊商標，不過突然甦醒的進攻
能力，才是公牛奮起的主因，他們的勝場大於敗場5場，是本季最佳紀錄。


They weren't as successful on either end of the floor in their first meeting
with the Dallas Mavericks, though.

不過他們的進攻在本季稍早對上達拉斯小牛時一無是處。


Chicago seeks its eighth victory in nine games Friday night at Dallas, which
has won four straight.

公牛明天尋求最近九場比賽的第八勝，小牛則是已經拿下四連勝。


The Bulls (31-26) ranked among the NBA's top three in scoring defense in each
of Thibodeau's first three seasons, and they're again among the league
leaders in 2013-14 by giving up an average of 91.3 points.

31勝26敗的公牛在Thibodeau接掌球隊的前三年，都在平均失分排名聯盟前三，
今年他們平均失分91.3分，依然是聯盟佼佼者。


Though Chicago is the lowest-scoring team in the league at 92.9 points per
contest, it has eclipsed the 100-point mark in three of its last four. In
Wednesday's 103-83 victory over Golden State, it held the high-scoring
Warriors to their fewest points in nearly three months while leading by as
many as 28.

儘管公牛的得分能力低，單場平均僅92.9分，但最近四場有三場得分破百。昨天
主場迎戰金州勇士的比賽中，就以103-83贏球，他們讓火力兇猛的勇士拿到三個
月以來的最低得分，並且過程中一度領先28分。


Taj Gibson scored a game-high 21 points, Jimmy Butler added 16 after missing
the previous two games with bruised ribs, and Carlos Boozer and Mike Dunleavy
scored 15 apiece. Joakim Noah had eight points, 17 rebounds and seven assists.

Taj Gibson拿到全隊最高的21分，Jimmy Butler在前兩戰因為肋骨瘀傷缺陣之後
回到隊中，拿下16分，Carlos Boozer與Mike Dunleavy各拿到15分，Joakim Noah
繳出8分17籃板7助攻的成績。


The Bulls have topped 100 points in five of their last 10 after doing so nine
times in their first 47 contests - one needing overtime and two others going
to three OTs.

在本季前47場比賽，公牛的得分只有9場破百，其中1場打到OT，兩場打到3OT，
不過最近10場比賽就有5場破百。


"We're a confident group," Noah said. "(Wednesday) was a big win for us.
Played against a team with great offensive firepower, definitely one of the
best teams in the West. To come out there and kick their (butts) like that
feels great."

Noah說："我們充滿信心，昨天的勝利對我們很重要，對上這樣的西區進攻強權，
還能打出好表現並且大勝，感覺很棒。"


Chicago, hot on the heels of Toronto for the Eastern Conference's third seed,
has won four of six on the road. It will play three of its next four away
from United Center.

公牛對於多倫多暴龍東區第三的席位虎視眈眈，他們最近六場客場比賽贏了四
場，而接下來四場比賽有三場在客場。


"Now's the time to step on the gas pedal and really get ready for the
playoffs," Boozer said.

Boozer說："這是我們全速前進，為季後賽做好準備的時候。"


Noah finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds in the first meeting with Dallas
on Dec. 28, but the Mavericks took control early and led by as many as 32 en
route to a 105-83 road victory.

Noah在本季第一次面對小牛時得到20分10籃板，不過小牛早早就把公牛打爆，
一度領先32分，最後以105-83大勝。


Monta Ellis scored a game-high 22 points, while Dirk Nowitzki added 18 in
that contest for Dallas (36-23), which moved a season-best 13 games over .500
with Wednesday's 108-89 win over New Orleans.

Monta Ellis該場拿到全隊最高的22分，Dirk Nowitzki得到18分。小牛的戰績
來到36勝23敗，超過五成勝率13場，也是球隊今年的最佳成績。昨天他們在主
場以108-89打敗紐奧良鵜鶘。


Nowitzki left 31 seconds into the game with a shoulder injury but returned
shortly after and finished with 18 points. He said the shoulder issue has
been ongoing for the majority of his career and isn't a concern.

Dirk開賽31秒就因為肩膀傷勢退場，但很快的回到陣中，最後攻下18分，他說
這個傷勢在生涯中一直困擾著他，不過不太礙事。


"I've had it ever since Karl Malone hacked me in '99," Nowitzki said. "The
shoulder just sometimes comes in and out a little bit. It's happened a good
20 times already over my career and it's going to keep happening again here
and there, but I've just got to keep strengthening it on off days and work
through it."

Dirk說："在1999年被Karl Malone拐了一下之後，我的肩膀就有問題，有時候
會凹進去或凸出來一點點，這在我的生涯中至少已經發生20次了，而且持續還
再發生，我必須在移動日繼續加強訓練，強化那部份的肌肉。"


Ellis added 23 points for Dallas, which has won 10 of 12 overall and four of
five at home.

Ellis昨天拿到23分，幫助小牛拿到近12場比賽中的第10勝，同時是近五場主場
比賽中的第四勝。


"The last 12 games we've been playing together as a team," Ellis said. "I
think we are coming along at the right time. I think everybody is tuned in
and accepting their role of what they need to do to help us win. The biggest
thing is that everyone is playing together."

Ellis說："最近12場比賽我們打的像個團隊，我們在對的時候凝聚在一起。我想
現在全隊上下都明白自己的角色，要怎麼做來幫助球隊贏球，最重要的是大家現
在在合作打球。"


The Mavericks have won 13 of the last 15 home matchups with Chicago.

小牛最近15次隊上公牛拿下13勝。


明天的對手最近也不好惹  不過要迎接之後的恐怖賽程了
在主場的比賽還是把他贏下來吧~~

Let's Go Mavs!!
