Kings-Mavericks Preview
The Dallas Mavericks' playoff push has been stuck in neutral lately despite
the team being in the midst of its longest homestand in franchise history.
儘管達拉斯小牛目前正在進行隊史最長的主場連戰,但衝擊季後賽的道路
卻受到阻礙。
The Mavericks have split their first six of eight consecutive games at
American Airlines Center and blew a sizable lead in the fourth quarter of
their latest game there. They'll try to bounce Saturday night by adding to
their remarkable home dominance over the Sacramento Kings.
在主場八連戰的前六場,小牛拿下三勝三敗,上一場在第四節遭到逆轉,
明天他們希望能在對上近年來主場打得很好的沙加緬度國王時來反彈。
With its inconsistent efforts at home, Dallas (43-30) has fallen from seventh
in the Western Conference and 1 1/2 games in front of the final playoff berth
to one-half game behind Memphis. The Grizzlies are idle Saturday after losing
for just the sixth time in 22 games Friday.
由於主場不穩定的表現,戰績43勝30敗的小牛從西區第七,領先第九1.5場,
掉到西區第九,落後第八的曼斐斯灰雄半場勝差,灰熊在昨天吞下最近22場
比賽中的第六敗,目前獨居老八。
The Suns, one game ahead of the Mavericks, are also idle after winning their
sixth in a row.
鳳凰城太陽則是取得六連勝,在昨天的勝利之後目前獨居第七。
"It's basically the next game becomes the most important game of the year,"
coach Rick Carlisle said. "That's just how it is going to be, every one down
the stretch."
小牛教練Rick Carlisle說:"對我們來說,每一個下一場比賽都是整季最重
要的比賽,這就是球季尾聲時的情況。"
The Mavericks missed a chance to keep pace in that race Thursday by
squandering an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter of a 109-103 loss to the
Los Angeles Clippers.
小牛在老八爭奪戰落居下風,因為他們前一場比賽浪費了第四節11分的領先,
最後以103-109敗陣。
"We didn't get the stops we needed in the clutch," forward Jae Crowder said.
"We knew they were going to make one more run late. We didn't get the stops
we needed to close the game."
前鋒Jae Crowder說:"我們在關鍵時刻沒法守住對手,我們知道他們會打出
一波攻勢,但我們沒守住,我們得做得更好來結束比賽。"
The Mavericks kept the Kings in check long enough Jan. 31 to rally from a
14-point deficit in the third quarter for a 107-103 win. Dirk Nowitzki led
the way with 34 points in Dallas' 19th consecutive home victory against
Sacramento (25-47).
在上次於達拉斯的交手中,小牛一直追趕國王,最後克服了第三節落後14分
的劣勢,以107-103逆轉勝,Dirk Nowitzki拿到全隊最高的34分,幫助小牛
拿下主場對戰國王的19連勝。
The Mavericks have won 16 of 18 overall matchups and split this season's
series. They fell 112-97 in Sacramento on Dec. 9, but the Kings haven't won
in Dallas since Feb. 27, 2003.
小牛最近對國王的18戰拿下16勝,本季兩度交手雙方各取一勝,在12月9日
的交手中小牛以97-112在客場大敗,不過國王自從2003年2月27日之後就沒
在達拉斯贏過球。
Only Golden State's 30-game skid in San Antonio is longer among the NBA's
active road losing streaks against one opponent.
國王在達拉斯的19連敗,是現今單一球隊在一客場的第二長連敗紀錄,僅次
於金州勇士在聖安東尼奧馬刺主場的30連敗。
Sacramento enters this game having dropped eight of 11 and six of seven away
from home. The Kings played for the second straight night without point guard
Isaiah Thomas (bruised right quad) in a 94-81 loss at Oklahoma City on Friday.
國王最近11場比賽輸了8場,進7場客場比賽輸了6場,先發控球後衛Isaiah
Thomas連續兩場比賽因為右側四頭肌瘀傷缺賽,導致昨天以81-94客場敗給
奧克拉荷馬雷霆。
Leading scorer DeMarcus Cousins, 10th in the league with 22.2 points per
game, finished with four on 2-of-8 shooting. Rudy Gay, averaging 19.8, had
seven while missing eight of 11 shots.
國王的得分王DeMarcus Cousins以22.2分的場均得分排名聯盟第10,不過昨
天他投8中2只拿4分,平均能拿19.8分的Rudy Gay昨天投11中只得到7分。
"The toughest position to lose is your point guard, just because he runs your
team, and there were times tonight where obviously, we didn't look like an
organized basketball team," coach Michael Malone said.
國王教練Michael Malone說:"損失一名控球後衛是球場上最麻煩的,他組織
球隊的進攻,今晚我們看起來不像是個有組織的籃球隊。"
Cousins had 32 points and 19 rebounds in the win over the Mavericks in
December but sat out the loss in Dallas because of a sprained left ankle. Gay
had 35 points in that road defeat, his second-most in any game this season.
Cousins在本季主場打敗小牛的比賽中狂砍32分19籃板,不過在第二次對戰時
他因為左腳踝扭傷缺賽,該場比賽Rudy Gay跳出來拿下本季第二高的35分,
但國王還是輸球。
Thomas was averaging 24.0 points and 6.3 assists in his last three matchups
with Dallas, but his status is unclear for this season. Derrick Williams had
a career-high 31 points in the home victory over the Mavericks but might sit
out again with an illness.
在最近三次對戰,Thomas平均拿到24.0分6.3助攻,不過他的傷勢未明,在初
次對戰時拿到生涯最高31分的Derrick Williams則可能因為生病繼續缺陣。
"We don't have a lot of bodies, so the guys who are able to play need to play
with more of a sense of urgency and greater effort," Malone said.
Malone說:"我們的球員不多,所以能上場的球員們要有危機意識,打出更好
的表現。"
Dallas' Monta Ellis is averaging 23.3 points in his last three games against
Sacramento.
小牛的Monta Ellis最近三次對上國王平均攻下23.3分。
其實這波賽程對小牛真的很有利 主場八連戰 每場都休一天
而且已經連續第三個對手是B2B打完來打小牛(最後一場勇士其實也是)
希望小牛真的要趕快回神 不然等到後面只會更難打...
加油吧!!
Let's Go Mavs!!
